< Mark 7 >

1 Then the Pharisees, and some of the scribes gathered together to him, having come from Jerusalem.
Pea toki fakataha kiate ia ʻae kau Fālesi mo e niʻihi ʻi he kau tangata tohi, naʻe haʻu mei Selūsalema.
2 Now when they saw that some of his disciples ate bread with defiled, that is, unwashed, hands, they found fault.
Pea ʻi heʻenau mamata ki he niʻihi ʻi heʻene kau ākonga ʻoku nau kai mā ʻi he nima ʻuli, ko e pehē, ko e [nima ]taʻefanofano, naʻa nau hanu ai.
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.
He ko e kau Fālesi, mo e kakai Siu fulipē, ʻoku ʻikai te nau kai, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te nau fuofua fanofano nima, ko e tokanga ki he talatupuʻa ʻae mātuʻa.
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.)
Pea ʻi [heʻenau haʻu ]mei he faianga fakatau, ʻoku ʻikai te nau kai, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te nau kaukau. Pea ʻoku ai mo e ngaahi meʻa kehekehe, kuo nau maʻu ke fai, ko e fufulu ʻoe ngaahi ipu inu, mo e ngaahi ipu fua, mo e ngaahi ipu kapa, mo e ngaahi tokotoʻanga.
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?"
Pea fehuʻi kiate ia ʻe he kau Fālesi mo e kau tangata tohi, “Ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai ai ke fai ʻe hoʻo kau ākonga ʻo hangē ko e talatupuʻa ʻae mātuʻa, ka ʻoku nau kai mā mo e nima taʻefanofano?”
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.
Pea leaange ʻe ia, ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, “Neʻineʻi fakahā ʻe ʻIsaia kiate kimoutolu, ko e kau mālualoi, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi, ‘ʻOku fakaʻapaʻapa ʻae kakai ni kiate au ʻaki honau loungutu, ka ʻoku mamaʻo honau loto ʻiate au.
7 And in vain do they worship me, teaching instructions that are the commandments of humans.'
Ka ʻoku taʻeʻaonga ʻenau hū kiate au, he ko e ngaahi akonaki ʻoku nau ako ʻaki, ko e ngaahi fekau ʻae tangata.’
8 "For you set aside the commandment of God, and hold tightly to human tradition."
“He kuo mou siʻaki ʻae fekau ʻae ʻOtua, kae maʻu ʻae talatupuʻa ʻae tangata, ko e fufulu ʻoe ngaahi ipu fua mo e ngaahi ipu inu: pea ʻoku lahi mo e ngaahi meʻa pehē ʻoku mou fai.
9 He said to them, "Full well do you reject the commandment of God, that you may establish your tradition.
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ha meʻa ʻe lelei ko hoʻomou liʻaki ʻae fekau ʻae ʻOtua, ka mou fai ʻae talatupuʻa ʻamoutolu.
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.'
He naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese, ‘Fakaʻapaʻapa ki hoʻo tamai mo hoʻo faʻē;’ pea, ‘Ko ia ʻoku kape ki [heʻene ]tamai pe ko [ʻene ]faʻē, tuku ke mate tāmateʻi ia.’
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;"'
Ka ʻoku mou pehē, ‘Kapau ʻe lea ha tangata ki heʻene tamai pe ko ʻene faʻē, [ʻo pehē], “Ko ʻeku meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻaonga kiate koe, ko e Kopano ia,”’ ʻaia ko e foaki tapu; [ʻe ʻataʻatā ia].
12 then you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or his mother,
Pea ʻoku mou taʻofi haʻane toe fai ha meʻa maʻa ʻene tamai pe ko ʻene faʻē;
13 making void the word of God by your tradition, which you have handed down. You do many things like this."
‌ʻO fakataʻeʻaonga ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua ʻaki hoʻomou talatupuʻa, ʻaia ʻoku mou enginakiʻaki: pea ʻoku lahi ʻae meʻa pehē ʻoku mou fai.”
14 And he called the crowd to himself again, and said to them, "Hear me, all of you, and understand.
Pea ʻi heʻene ui mai ʻae kakai kotoa pē, naʻa ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Fanongo kotoa pē kiate au, pea ʻilo.
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."
‌ʻOku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻituʻa ʻi he tangata, pea hū ki ai, te ne faʻa fakaʻuliʻi ia: ka ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku haʻu meiate ia, ko ia ia ʻoku fakaʻuliʻi ʻae tangata.
Ko e tangata ʻoku telinga ke ongo, ke ongoʻi ia.”
17 When he had entered into a house away from the crowd, his disciples asked him about the parable.
Pea kuo hū ia ki he fale mei he kakai, naʻe fehuʻi ʻe heʻene kau ākonga kiate ia ki he fakatātā.
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,
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “He ʻoku pehē hoʻomou taʻeʻilo foki? ʻOku ʻikai te mou ʻilo, ko e meʻa kotoa pē mei tuʻa, ʻoku ʻalu ki he tangata, ʻoku ʻikai faʻa fakaʻuli ia ʻe ia;
19 because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, then into the latrine, cleansing all the foods?"
Koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ke ʻalu ia ki hono loto, ka ki he kete, ʻoku fakamaʻa ai ʻae meʻakai kotoa pē, kae [toki ]ʻalu kituʻa ʻae meʻa taʻeʻaonga?”
20 He said, "That which proceeds out of the man, that defiles the man.
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko ia ʻoku haʻu mei he tangata, ko ia ia ʻoku fakaʻuliʻi ʻae tangata.
21 For from within, out of a person's heart, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual sins, murders, thefts,
He ʻoku mei loto, mei he loto ʻoe tangata, ʻae mahalo kovi, mo e tonoʻi fefine mo e feʻauaki, mo e fakapō,
22 covetings, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness.
Mo e kaihaʻa, mo e manumanu, mo e angahala, mo e kākā, mo e anga fakalielia, mo e mata kovi, mo e lea kovi, mo e laukau, mo e vale:
23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man."
Ko e ngaahi meʻa kovi ni kotoa pē ʻoku haʻu mei he loto, ʻoku fakaʻuliʻi ʻae tangata.”
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.
Pea tuʻu hake ia ʻi ai, ʻo ʻalu ki he potu ʻo Taia mo Saitoni, pea ne hū ki he fale, ʻo ne loto ke ʻoua naʻa ʻilo [ia ]ʻe ha taha: ka naʻe ʻikai faʻa fakapuli ia.
25 But immediately a woman whose young daughter had an unclean spirit heard of him and came and fell at his feet.
He naʻe ongoa atu ia ki ha fefine naʻe ai ʻene taʻahine siʻi naʻe ʻi ai ʻae laumālie ʻuli, pea haʻu ia, ʻo tōmapeʻe ʻi hono vaʻe:
26 Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. She begged him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter.
Ko e Kiliki ʻae fefine ni, mei he puleʻanga ko Sailofinisia: pea naʻa ne kole kiate ia, ke ne kapusi kituʻa ʻae tēvolo ʻi heʻene taʻahine.
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."
Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “ʻOua ke tomuʻa mākona ʻae fānau: he ʻoku ʻikai ngali ke toʻo ʻae mā ʻae fānau, mo lī ki he fanga kulī.”
28 But she answered him, "Yes, Sir. Yet even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs."
Pea leaange ʻe ia, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Ko e moʻoni, ʻEiki: ka ʻoku kai ʻe he fanga kulī, ʻi he lalo keinangaʻanga, ʻae momo ʻoe meʻakai ʻae fānau.”
29 He said to her, "For this saying, go your way. The demon has gone out of your daughter."
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “Koeʻuhi ko e lea ni ke ke ʻalu; kuo ʻalu kituʻa ʻae tēvolo ʻi hoʻo taʻahine.”
30 And when she went away to her house, she found the child lying on the bed, the demon having left.
Pea kuo hoko ia ki hono fale, pea ne ʻilo kuo ʻalu kituʻa ʻa e tēvolo, kae tokoto ʻene taʻahine ʻi he mohenga.
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.
Pea naʻe toe ʻalu ia mei he potu ʻo Taia mo Saitoni, ʻo haʻu ʻi he potu fonua ʻo Tikapolisi, ki he tahi ʻo Kāleli.
32 They brought to him one who was deaf and had a speech difficulty, and they begged Jesus to lay his hand on him.
Pea nau ʻomi kiate ia ha tokotaha naʻe tuli, pea ʻikai ke faʻa lea; pea naʻa nau kole kiate ia ke ne hilifaki hono nima ki ai.
33 He took him aside from the crowd, privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat, and touched his tongue.
Pea naʻa ne fakaafe ia mei he kakai, ʻo ne ʻai hono tuhu ki hono telinga, pea ʻaʻanu, mo ne ala ki hono ʻelelo;
34 Looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, "Ephphatha." that is, "Be opened."
Pea hanga hake ia ki he langi, ʻo mafulu, mo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻEfata,” ko e pehē ia, “Ke ava.”
35 And his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was released, and he spoke clearly.
Pea naʻe ava leva hono telinga, pea vete ʻae noʻo ʻo hono ʻelelo, pea ne lea totonu.
36 He commanded them that they should tell no one, but the more he commanded them, so much the more widely they proclaimed it.
Pea ne fekau kiate kinautolu ke ʻoua naʻa nau fakahā ki ha taha: ka ʻi heʻene fekau lahi kiate kinautolu, ne ʻāsili ai ʻo lahi ʻenau fanongonongo [ia];
37 They were astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has done all things well. He makes even the deaf hear, and the mute speak."
Pea naʻa nau ofo ʻo lahi ʻaupito, ʻo pehē, “Kuo ne fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻo lelei: ʻoku ne ngaohi ʻae tuli ke ongo, mo e noa ke lea.”
