Mark 7
1 Then the Pharisees, and some of the scribes gathered together to him, having come from Urishlim.
Da bi, Farisifo ne Kyerɛwsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfo bi a wofi Yerusalem baa Yesu nkyɛn.
2 Now when they saw some of his disciples eating bread with defiled, that is, unwashed, hands, they found fault.
Woduu hɔ no, wohuu sɛ nʼasuafo no bi redidi a wɔanhohoro wɔn nsa ho.
3 (For the Pharisees, and all Jewish people, do not eat unless they wash their hands and forearms, holding to the Tradition of the Elders.
Na Yudafo no, ne titiriw no Farisifo nnidi da, gye sɛ wɔahohoro wɔn nsa ho nyinaa, sɛnea wɔn amanne kyerɛ, ansa na wɔadidi.
4 They do not eat when they come from the marketplace unless they wash. And there are many other things which they have received and hold to, the washing of cups and pitchers and copper vessels and dining couches.)
Na sɛ wofi gua so ba a, wɔhohoro wɔn nsa ansa na wɔadidi. Eyi yɛ mmara bebree a wofi tete adi so no mu baako. Na mmara no bi ne sɛ, wɔhohoro nkuruwa, asɛn ne kɔberesɛn mu.
5 The Pharisees and the scribes asked him, "Why do your disciples not walk according to the Tradition of the Elders, but eat their bread with unwashed hands?"
Enti Kyerɛwsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfo no bisaa Yesu se, “Adɛn nti na wʼasuafo no nni yɛn amanne a efi tete no so? Efisɛ wodidi a, wonni kan nhohoro wɔn nsa sɛnea amanne kyerɛ no.”
6 He said to them, "Well did Eshaya prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, 'This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Mo nyaatwomfo! Asɛm a Yesaia ka faa mo ho sɛ, “‘Saa nnipa yi de wɔn ano na edi me ni, nanso wɔn koma mmɛn me ho baabiara.
7 And in vain do they worship me, teaching instructions that are the commandments of humans.'
Wɔsom me kwa; na wɔn nkyerɛkyerɛ yɛ nnipa nsa ano mmara’ yɛ nokware turodoo!
8 "For you set aside the commandment of God, and hold tightly to human tradition."
Mugyaw Onyankopɔn mmara a wahyehyɛ no de mo ankasa mo amanne si anan mu.
9 He said to them, "Full well do you reject the commandment of God, that you may establish your tradition.
“Moahyɛ da sɛ mobɛpo Onyankopɔn mmara no, na moatiatia so, ama mo amanne no atim.
10 For Mushe said, 'Honor your father and your mother;' and, 'Anyone who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.'
Ɛho nhwɛso bi ne sɛ, Mose de Onyankopɔn mmara a ɛka se, ‘Di wʼagya ne wo na ni’ no maa mo. Ɔkae se, ‘obiara a ɔbɛkasa atia nʼagya anaa ne na no, ɛsɛ sɛ wokum no.’
11 But you say, 'If anyone tells his father or mother, "Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban, that is to say, given to God;"'
Nanso moka se, eye sɛ obi bɛka akyerɛ nʼagya anaa ne na a ade bi hia no no se, ‘Merentumi mmoa mo! Efisɛ mede nea anka a ɛsɛ sɛ mede ma mo no ama Onyankopɔn.’
12 then you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or his mother,
Enti mubu Onyankopɔn mmara a ɔhyɛe no so, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mubetumi abɔ mo amanne ho ban.
13 making void the word of God by your tradition, which you have handed down. You do many things like this."
Eyi yɛ nhwɛso baako pɛ. Nanso bebree ka ho.”
14 And he called the crowd to himself again, and said to them, "Hear me, all of you, and understand.
Afei Yesu frɛɛ nnipakuw no baa ne nkyɛn, ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mo nyinaa muntie asɛm a mereka yi yiye, na monte ase.
15 There is nothing from outside of the person, that going into him can defile him; but the things which proceed out of the person are what defile the person."
Ade biara a ɛkɔ onipa mu no ngu ne ho fi. Na mmom nea ebefi onipa mu aba no na egu ne ho fi.
Nea ɔwɔ aso a obetie no ntie.”
17 When he had entered into a house away from the crowd, his disciples asked him about the parable.
Afei Yesu fii nnipakuw no mu kɔɔ fie no, nʼasuafo no bisaa no asɛm a ɔkae no ase.
18 He said to them, "Are you thus without understanding also? Do you not perceive that whatever goes into the person from outside cannot defile him,
Obisaa wɔn se, “Mo nso monte asɛm a mekae no ase? Munhu sɛ, nea mudi no ngu mo ho fi ana?
19 because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, then into the latrine, cleansing all the foods?"
Efisɛ nea mudi biara no ne mo koma nni hwee yɛ, na mmom ɛfa ɔyafunu no mu kɛkɛ.”
20 He said, "That which proceeds out of the man, that defiles the man.
Ɔtoaa so se, “Nea efi onipa mu ba no na egu ne ho fi.
21 For from within, out of a person's heart, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual sins, murders, thefts,
Afei nea efi nnipa koma mu ba no, ɛde aguamammɔ, korɔn, awudi,
22 covetings, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness.
ayefasɛm, amumɔyɛ, asisi, ahohwi, anibere, abususɛm, ahantan ne nkwaseasɛm ba.
23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man."
Saa nnebɔne yi nyinaa fi onipa mu na ɛba, na ɛno na egu onipa ho fi a ɛmma ɔmfata Onyankopɔn anim.”
24 From there he arose, and went away into the region of Tsur and Tsaidan. He entered into a house, and did not want anyone to know it, but he could not escape notice.
Yesu fi hɔ no, ɔkɔɔ Tiro ne Sidon fam pɛɛ sɛ ɔrekɔhyɛ hɔ komm a obiara nte ne nka, nanso anyɛ ye. Da a oduu hɔ ara pɛ, na nkurɔfo tee ne nka sɛ waba hɔ.
25 But immediately a woman whose young daughter had an unclean spirit heard of him and came and fell at his feet.
Ɛhɔ ara na ɔbea bi a honhommɔne hyɛ ne babea ketewa bi mu baa ne nkyɛn. Na wate Yesu nka nti, obebuu no nkotodwe.
26 Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. She begged him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter.
Ɔbea no srɛɛ no sɛ ontu saa honhommɔne no mfi ne ba no mu mma no. Na saa ɔbea yi yɛ Helani a wɔwoo no wɔ Siro-Foinike.
27 But he said to her, "Let the children be filled first, for it is not appropriate to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ɛsɛ sɛ mma no mee ansa. Na enye sɛ wɔde mma aduan ma akraman.”
28 But she answered him, "Yes, Sir. Yet even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs."
Ɔbea no nso buae no se, “Owura, ɛyɛ nokware de, nanso ɛyɛ a wɔde aduan a aka wɔ mmofra no prɛte mu no bi ma akraman a wɔhyehyɛ ɔpon no ase no.”
29 He said to her, "For this saying, go your way. The demon has gone out of your daughter."
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Wo mmuae pa no nti masa wo babea no yare. Kɔ fie. Honhommɔne no afi ne mu kɔ.”
30 And when she went away to her house, she found the child lying on the bed, the demon having left.
Oduu fie no, ohuu sɛ ne babea no da mpa so dinn a honhommɔne no afi ne mu ampa ara.
31 Again he departed from the borders of Tsur, and came through Tsaidan to the lake of Galila, through the midst of the region of Decapolis.
Yesu fi Tiro no, ɔfaa Sidon mansin a emu nkurow yɛ du no so beduu Galilea Po so.
32 They brought to him one who was deaf and had a speech difficulty, and they begged Yeshua to lay his hand on him.
Wɔde ɔsotifo bi a ɔsan yɛ mum brɛɛ no. Wɔn a wɔwɔ hɔ no nyinaa srɛɛ Yesu sɛ, ɔmfa ne nsa nka ɔyarefo no, na ɔnsa no yare.
33 He took him aside from the crowd, privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat, and touched his tongue.
Yesu soo ne mu de no fii nnipakuw no mu. Afei ɔde ne nsateaa hyɛɛ ɔbarima no asom, tee ntasu de kaa ne tɛkrɛma.
34 Looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, "Pethakh." that is, "Be opened."
Ɔhwɛɛ ɔsoro, guu ahome teɛɛ mu se, “Hefata!” Ase ne, “bue!”
35 And his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was released, and he spoke clearly.
Amono mu hɔ ara, ɔbarima no aso buei, ne tɛkrɛma sanee, na ofii ase kasae.
36 He commanded them that they should tell no one, but the more he commanded them, so much the more widely they proclaimed it.
Yesu bɔɔ nnipakuw no ano se, wɔmmmɔ asɛm no dawuru nkyerɛ obiara. Nanso mpɛn dodow a ɔbraa wɔn no, na trɛw ara na wɔn nso wɔretrɛw asɛm no mu.
37 They were astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has done all things well. He makes even the deaf hear, and the mute speak."
Saa asɛm yi maa wɔn ho dwiriw wɔn yiye. Enti wɔkae se, “Yesu ayɛ ade nyinaa yiye, ɔma asotifo mpo te asɛm, na mum nso kasa!”
