Mark 7
1 Then the Pharisees, and some of the scribes gathered together to him, having come from Jerusalem.
Mafarisayo na baadhi ya walimu wa sheria waliokuwa wametoka Yerusalemu wakakusanyika mbele ya Yesu.
2 Now when they saw that some of his disciples ate bread with defiled, that is, unwashed, hands, they found fault.
Wakawaona baadhi ya wanafunzi wake wakila chakula kwa mikono iliyo najisi, yaani, bila kunawa kama ilivyotakiwa na sheria ya dini ya Wayahudi.
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.
(Kwa kuwa Mafarisayo na Wayahudi wote hawali chakula pasipo kunawa kwa kufuata desturi za wazee wao.
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.)
Wanapotoka sokoni hawawezi kula pasipo kunawa. Pia kuna desturi nyingine nyingi wanazofuata kama vile jinsi ya kuosha vikombe, vyungu na vyombo vya shaba.)
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?"
Kwa hiyo wale Mafarisayo na walimu wa sheria wakamuuliza Yesu, “Mbona wanafunzi wako hawafuati desturi za wazee, na badala yake wanakula kwa mikono najisi?”
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 akawajibu, “Nabii Isaya alisema ukweli alipotabiri juu yenu, ninyi wanafiki. Kama ilivyoandikwa: “‘Watu hawa huniheshimu kwa midomo yao, lakini mioyo yao iko mbali nami.
7 And in vain do they worship me, teaching instructions that are the commandments of humans.'
Huniabudu bure, nayo mafundisho yao ni maagizo ya wanadamu tu.’
8 "For you set aside the commandment of God, and hold tightly to human tradition."
Ninyi mmeziacha amri za Mungu na kushika desturi za watu.”
9 He said to them, "Full well do you reject the commandment of God, that you may establish your tradition.
Naye akawaambia, “Ninyi mnayo njia nzuri ya kukataa amri za Mungu ili mpate kuyashika mapokeo yenu!
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.'
Kwa mfano, Mose alisema, ‘Waheshimu baba yako na mama yako,’ na, ‘Yeyote amtukanaye baba yake au mama yake, na auawe.’
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;"'
Lakini ninyi mwafundisha kwamba mtu akimwambia baba yake au mama yake, ‘Kile ambacho ningeweza kukusaidia ni Korbani’ (yaani kimewekwa wakfu kwa Mungu),
12 then you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or his mother,
basi hawajibiki tena kumsaidia baba yake au mama yake.
13 making void the word of God by your tradition, which you have handed down. You do many things like this."
Kwa njia hiyo ninyi mnabatilisha neno la Mungu kwa mapokeo yenu mliyojiwekea. Nanyi mnafanya mambo mengi ya aina hiyo.”
14 And he called the crowd to himself again, and said to them, "Hear me, all of you, and understand.
Yesu akaita tena ule umati wa watu, akawaambia, “Nisikilizeni, kila mmoja wenu na mwelewe jambo hili.
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."
Hakuna kitu kinachomwingia mtu kimtiacho unajisi, lakini kile kimtokacho ndicho kimtiacho unajisi. [
Kama mtu yeyote ana masikio ya kusikia na asikie.]”
17 When he had entered into a house away from the crowd, his disciples asked him about the parable.
Akiisha kuuacha ule umati wa watu na kuingia ndani, wanafunzi wake wakamuuliza maana ya mfano ule.
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,
Akawajibu, “Je, hata nanyi hamwelewi? Je, hamfahamu kwamba kitu kimwingiacho mtu hakimtii unajisi?
19 because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, then into the latrine, cleansing all the foods?"
Mtu akila kitu hakiingii moyoni mwake bali tumboni, na baadaye hutolewa nje ya mwili wake.” (Kwa kusema hivi, Yesu alivihalalisha vyakula vyote kuwa ni “safi.”)
20 He said, "That which proceeds out of the man, that defiles the man.
Akaendelea kusema, “Kile kimtokacho mtu ndicho kimtiacho unajisi.
21 For from within, out of a person's heart, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual sins, murders, thefts,
Kwa maana kutoka ndani ya moyo wa mtu hutoka mawazo mabaya, uasherati, wizi, uuaji, uzinzi,
22 covetings, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness.
tamaa mbaya, uovu, udanganyifu, ufisadi, wivu, matukano, kiburi na upumbavu.
23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man."
Maovu haya yote hutoka ndani ya mtu, nayo ndiyo yamtiayo mtu unajisi.”
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.
Ndipo Yesu akaondoka hapo akaenda sehemu za Tiro. Akaingia katika nyumba moja, naye hakutaka mtu yeyote ajue kwamba yuko humo. Lakini hakuweza kujificha.
25 But immediately a woman whose young daughter had an unclean spirit heard of him and came and fell at his feet.
Mara mwanamke mmoja, ambaye binti yake mdogo alikuwa na pepo mchafu, akaja na kumpigia magoti miguuni pake.
26 Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. She begged him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter.
Basi huyo mwanamke alikuwa Myunani, aliyezaliwa Foinike ya Siria. Akamsihi Yesu amtoe binti yake huyo pepo mchafu.
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 akamwambia, “Waache watoto washibe kwanza, kwa maana si vyema kuchukua chakula cha watoto na kuwatupia mbwa.”
28 But she answered him, "Yes, Sir. Yet even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs."
Lakini yule mwanamke akamjibu, “Bwana, hata mbwa walio chini ya meza hula makombo ya chakula cha watoto.”
29 He said to her, "For this saying, go your way. The demon has gone out of your daughter."
Ndipo Yesu akamjibu, “Kwa sababu ya jibu lako, nenda zako nyumbani; yule pepo mchafu amemtoka binti yako.”
30 And when she went away to her house, she found the child lying on the bed, the demon having left.
Akaenda zake nyumbani akamkuta binti yake amelala kitandani, yule pepo mchafu akiwa amemtoka.
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.
Kisha Yesu akaondoka sehemu za Tiro, akapita katikati ya Sidoni, hadi Bahari ya Galilaya na kuingia eneo la 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.
Huko, watu wakamletea Yesu mtu mmoja kiziwi, ambaye pia alikuwa na kigugumizi, wakamwomba aweke mkono wake juu ya huyo mtu na amponye.
33 He took him aside from the crowd, privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat, and touched his tongue.
Baadaye Yesu akampeleka yule kiziwi kando mbali na watu, Yesu akatia vidole vyake masikioni mwa yule mtu. Kisha akatema mate na kuugusa ulimi wa yule mtu.
34 Looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, "Ephphatha." that is, "Be opened."
Ndipo Yesu akatazama mbinguni, akavuta hewa ndani kwa nguvu akamwambia, “Efatha!” (yaani, “Funguka!”)
35 And his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was released, and he spoke clearly.
Mara masikio yake yakafunguka na ulimi wake ukaachiliwa, akaanza kuongea sawasawa.
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 akawaamuru wasimwambie mtu yeyote habari hizi. Lakini kadiri alivyowazuia, ndivyo walivyozidi kutangaza kwa bidii.
37 They were astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has done all things well. He makes even the deaf hear, and the mute speak."
Walistaajabu mno. Wakasema, “Amefanya mambo yote vizuri mno! Amewawezesha viziwi wasikie na bubu waseme!”
