< Mark 7 >

1 Then the Pharisees, and some of the scribes gathered together to him, having come from Jerusalem.
Awo abafalisaayo n’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka abamu abaali bavudde e Yerusaalemi ne bakuŋŋaanira awali Yesu.
2 Now when they saw some of his disciples eating bread with defiled, that is, unwashed, hands, they found fault.
Ne balaba abamu ku bayigirizwa be nga balya tebanaabye mu ngalo.
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.
Kubanga Abafalisaayo n’Abayudaaya bonna tebaalyanga nga tebasoose kunaaba mu ngalo n’obwegendereza ng’empisa zaabwe bwe zaali.
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.)
Era bwe baddanga eka nga bava mu katale, ekyo kye baasookanga okukola nga tebannaba kukwata ku kyakulya kyonna. Waliwo n’obulombolombo obulala bwe baagobereranga ng’okulongoosa ensuwa zaabwe, n’ebikopo, n’ebbinika n’essowaani, n’ebirala bingi.
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?"
Awo Abafalisaayo n’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka ne babuuza Yesu nti, “Lwaki abayigirizwa bo tebagoberera mpisa za bajjajjaffe ez’edda? Kubanga balya nga tebanaabye mu ngalo.”
6 He said to them, "Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, 'This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Bannanfuusi mmwe! Nnabbi Isaaya yaboogerako bulungi ebyobunnabbi bwe yagamba nti, “‘Abantu bano banzisaamu ekitiibwa kya ku mimwa, naye emitima gyabwe tegindiiko.
7 And in vain do they worship me, teaching instructions that are the commandments of humans.'
Okusinza kwabwe tekuliimu nsa; kubanga bayigiriza bulombolombo bwabwe.’
8 "For you set aside the commandment of God, and hold tightly to human tradition."
Muleka ebiragiro ebiva eri Katonda ne mugoberera obulombolombo bw’abantu.”
9 He said to them, "Full well do you reject the commandment of God, that you may establish your tradition.
N’abagamba nate nti, “Munyooma ekiragiro kya Katonda, ne muggumiza obulombolombo bwammwe.
10 For Moses said, 'Honor your father and your mother;' and, 'Anyone who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.'
Musa yagamba nti, ‘Kitaawo ne nnyoko obassangamu ekitiibwa.’ Era n’agamba nti, ‘Omuntu yenna ayogera obubi ku kitaawe oba nnyina anattibwanga.’
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;"'
Naye mmwe mugamba nti kituufu omuntu okulagajjalira bakadde be nga bali mu kwetaaga n’abagamba bugambi nti, ‘Mmunsonyiwe, kubanga kye nandibawadde ye Korubaani.’”
12 then you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or his mother,
“Omuntu temumukkiriza kubeerako ky’akolera kitaawe oba nnyina.
13 making void the word of God by your tradition, which you have handed down. You do many things like this."
Bwe mutyo munyooma ekigambo kya Katonda mulyoke mutuukirize obulombolombo bwammwe bwe mwaweebwa. N’ebirala bingi ebiri ng’ebyo bye mukola.”
14 And he called the crowd to himself again, and said to them, "Hear me, all of you, and understand.
Awo Yesu n’ayita ekibiina ky’abantu n’abagamba nti, “Mmwe mwenna, mumpulirize, era mutegeere.
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."
Ebintu ebiyingira mu muntu si bye byonoona empisa ze, wabula ebyo ebiva mu mutima gwe bye bizoonoona.
(Omuntu alina amatu agawulira awulirize.)”
17 When he had entered into a house away from the crowd, his disciples asked him about the parable.
Yesu n’aviira ekibiina n’ayingira mu nnyumba, abayigirizwa be ne bamubuuza amakulu g’ebigambo bye yayogera.
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,
N’abaddamu nti, “Nammwe temutegedde? Temutegeera nti buli kintu ekiyingira mu muntu si kye kimwonoona?
19 because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, then into the latrine, cleansing all the foods?"
Olw’okuba nga tekiyingira mu mutima gwe naye kiyingira mu lubuto lwe ne kiryoka kigenda mu kabuyonjo.” Mu kwogera atyo Yesu yakakasa nga buli kyakulya bwe kiri ekirongoofu.
20 He said, "That which proceeds out of the man, that defiles the man.
Era n’ayongerako na bino nti, “Ebirowoozo by’omuntu bye bimwonoona.
21 For from within, out of a person's heart, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual sins, murders, thefts,
Kubanga mu mutima gw’omuntu mwe muva ebirowoozo ebibi eby’obukaba, n’obubbi, n’obutemu, n’obwenzi,
22 covetings, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness.
n’okwegomba, n’omutima omubi, n’obukuusa, n’obumenyi bw’amateeka, n’obuggya, n’okusekeeterera, n’obusirusiru.
23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man."
Ebibi bino byonna biva munda mu muntu ne bimwonoona.”
24 From there he arose, and went away into the region of Tyre and Sidon. He entered into a house, and did not want anyone to know it, but he could not escape notice.
Awo Yesu n’alaga mu bitundu by’e Ttuulo, n’atayagala kitegeerekeke nti ali mu bitundu ebyo, naye ne kitasoboka.
25 But immediately a woman whose young daughter had an unclean spirit heard of him and came and fell at his feet.
Omukazi eyalina muwala we ng’aliko omwoyo omubi, olwawulira nga Yesu yaakatuuka, n’ajja eri Yesu, n’agwa ku bigere bye.
26 Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. She begged him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter.
Omukazi teyali Muyudaaya, yali Musulofoyiniiki, n’amwegayirira agobe dayimooni ku mwana we.
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 n’agamba omukazi nti, “Omwana asaana asoke akkute, kubanga tekiba kituufu okuddira emmere y’omwana okugisuulira embwa.”
28 But she answered him, "Yes, Sir. Yet even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs."
Naye omukazi n’amuddamu nti, “Ekyo bwe kiri, ssebo, naye era n’embwa ezibeera wansi mu mmeeza, ziweebwa ku bukunkumuka obuva ku ssowaani z’abaana.”
29 He said to her, "For this saying, go your way. The demon has gone out of your daughter."
Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Olw’ekigambo ekyo, weddireyo eka, kubanga dayimooni avudde ku muwala wo.”
30 And when she went away to her house, she found the child lying on the bed, the demon having left.
Omukazi bwe yaddayo eka yasanga muwala we agalamidde awo ku kitanda, nga muteefu era nga dayimooni amuvuddeko.
31 Again he departed from the borders of Tyre, and came through Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the region of Decapolis.
Yesu bwe yava mu Ttuulo n’agenda e Sidoni, eyo gye yava n’addayo ku nnyanja ey’e Ggaliraaya ng’ayitira mu “Bibuga Ekkumi” (Dekapoli).
32 They brought to him one who was deaf and had a speech difficulty, and they begged Jesus to lay his hand on him.
Awo ne bamuleetera omusajja omuggavu w’amatu ate nga tayogera, abantu bonna ne beegayirira Yesu amusseeko emikono gye amuwonye.
33 He took him aside from the crowd, privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat, and touched his tongue.
Yesu n’aggya omusajja mu bantu n’amulaza wabbali, n’assa engalo ze mu matu g’omusajja; n’awanda amalusu, n’agasiiga n’olunwe lwe ku lulimi lw’omusajja.
34 Looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, "Ephphatha." that is, "Be opened."
Awo Yesu n’atunula waggulu n’assa ekikkowe, n’alyoka alagira omusajja nti, “Efasa!” ekitegeeza nti, “Gguka.”
35 And his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was released, and he spoke clearly.
Amangwago amatu g’omusajja ne gagguka n’awulira buli kintu era n’ayogera bulungi!
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 n’akuutira ekibiina baleme kutegeezaako balala ku bigambo ebyo okubisaasaanya, naye bo ne beeyongera okutegeeza.
37 They were astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has done all things well. He makes even the deaf hear, and the mute speak."
Kye yakola kyali kibayitiriddeko. Ne boogera nga batenda Yesu nti, “Buli ky’akola kya kyewuunyo, aggula n’amatu ga bakiggala n’ayogeza ne bakasiru!”
