Mark 7
1 And there come together to him the Pharisees, and some of the scribes, who came from Jerusalem;
Ɛda bi, Farisifoɔ ne Atwerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ binom a wɔfiri Yerusalem baa Yesu nkyɛn.
2 and seeing some of his disciples eating bread with defiled, that is, unwashed hands,
Wɔduruu hɔ no, wɔhunuu sɛ nʼasuafoɔ no bi redidi a wɔanhohoro wɔn nsa ho.
3 (for the Pharisees, and all the Jews, unless they wash their hands often, do not eat, holding fast the tradition of the elders;
Na Yudafoɔ no, ne titire no Farisifoɔ no, nnidi da, gye sɛ wɔahohoro wɔn nsa ho nyinaa, sɛdeɛ wɔn amanneɛ kyerɛ, ansa na wɔadidi.
4 and on coming from the marketplace, unless they bathe, they do not eat; and there are many other things which they have received to hold, the dipping of cups, and pitchers, and brazen vessels; )
Na sɛ wɔfiri dwa so ba a, wɔhohoro wɔn nsa ansa na wɔadidi. Yei yɛ mmara bebree a wɔfiri tete adi so no mu baako. Na mmara no bi ne sɛ, wɔhohoro nkuruwa, asɛn ne nwowa mu.
5 then the Pharisees and scribes ask him, Why do not thy disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with defiled hands?
Enti, Atwerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ no bisaa Yesu sɛ, “Adɛn enti na wʼasuafoɔ no nni yɛn amanneɛ a ɛfiri tete no so? Ɛfiri sɛ, wɔdidi a, wɔnni ɛkan nhohoro wɔn nsa sɛdeɛ amanneɛ kyerɛ no.”
6 And he said to them, Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, “This people honoreth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Mo nyaatwomfoɔ! Asɛm a Yesaia ka faa mo ho sɛ, “‘Saa nnipa yi de wɔn ano na ɛdi me ni, nanso wɔn akoma mmɛn me ho baabiara no yɛ nokorɛ turodoo!
7 But in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.”
Wɔsom me kwa; na wɔn nkyerɛkyerɛ yɛ nnipa nsa ano mmara’
8 Laying aside, the commandment of God, ye hold fast the tradition of men.
Mogya Onyankopɔn mmara a wahyehyɛ no de mo ankasa mo amanneɛ si ananmu.
9 And he said to them, Full well do ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your tradition!
“Moahyɛ da sɛ mobɛpo Onyankopɔn mmara no, na moatiatia so, ama mo amanneɛ no atim.
10 For Moses said, “Honor thy father and thy mother;” and, “He that curseth father or mother, let him surely die.”
Ɛho nhwɛsoɔ bi ne sɛ, Mose de Onyankopɔn mmara a ɛka sɛ, ‘Di wʼagya ne wo maame ni’ no maa. Ɔkaa sɛ, ‘obiara a ɔbɛkasa atia nʼagya anaa ne maame no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔkum no.’
11 But ye say, If a man say to his father or mother, Whatever thou mightst receive in aid from me is Corban, that is, a gift to God, [[he is not bound by the command. Thus]]
Nanso, moka sɛ, ɛyɛ sɛ obi bɛka akyerɛ nʼagya anaa ne maame a adeɛ bi hia no no sɛ, ‘Merentumi mmoa mo! Ɛfiri sɛ, mede deɛ anka ɛsɛ sɛ mede ma mo no ama Onyankopɔn.’
12 ye suffer him no longer to do anything for his father or his mother;
Enti, mobu Onyankopɔn mmara a ɔhyɛeɛ no so, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a mobɛtumi abɔ mo amanneɛ ho ban.
13 making void the word of God by your tradition, which ye have handed down; and many such things ye do.
Yei yɛ nhwɛsoɔ baako pɛ. Nanso, bebree ka ho.”
14 And again calling the multitude to him, he said to them, Hearken to me all of you, and understand.
Afei, Yesu frɛɛ nnipakuo no baa ne nkyɛn, ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Mo nyinaa montie asɛm a mereka yi yie, na monte aseɛ.
15 Nothing that entereth into a man from without can defile him; but the things that come out of him are what defile a man.
Adeɛ biara a ɛkɔ onipa mu no, ngu ne ho fi. Na mmom, deɛ ɛbɛfiri onipa mu aba no, na ɛgu ne ho fi.
Deɛ ɔwɔ aso a ɔbɛtie no ntie.”
17 And when he had gone into the house from the crowd, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.
Afei, Yesu firii nnipakuo no mu kɔɔ efie no, nʼasuafoɔ no bisaa no asɛm a ɔkaeɛ no ase.
18 And he saith to them, Are ye too so without discernment? Do ye not understand that whatever thing from without entereth into a man, cannot defile him?
Ɔbisaa wɔn sɛ, “Mo nso monte asɛm a mekaeɛ no ase? Monhunu sɛ, deɛ modie no ngu mo ho fi anaa?
19 because it entereth not into his heart, but into the stomach; and goeth out into the drain, which cleanseth all kinds of food.
Ɛfiri sɛ, deɛ modie biara no ne mo akoma nni hwee yɛ, na mmom, ɛfa ɔyafunu no mu kɛkɛ.”
20 And he said, That which cometh out of a man, that defileth a man.
Ɔtoaa so sɛ, “Deɛ ɛfiri onipa mu ba no na ɛgu ne ho fi.
21 For from within, out of the heart of men, come forth evil thoughts, fornications,
Afei, deɛ ɛfiri nnipa akoma mu ba no, ɛde adwamammɔ, korɔno, awudie,
22 thefts, murders, adulteries, covetousness, iniquities, deceit, wantonness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.
adifudepɛ, amumuyɛ, nsisie, ahohwie, anibereɛ, abususɛm, ahantan ne nkwaseasɛm ba.
23 All these evil things come from within, and defile a man.
Saa nnebɔne yi nyinaa firi onipa mu na ɛba, na ɛnonom na ɛgu onipa ho fi a ɛmma ɔmfata Onyankopɔn anim.”
24 And rising up, he departed thence into the borders of Tyre; and entering into a house, he desired that no one should know it; but he could not escape notice.
Yesu firi hɔ no, ɔkɔɔ Tiro ne Sidon fam pɛɛ sɛ ɔrekɔhyɛ hɔ komm a, obiara nte ne nka, nanso anyɛ yie. Ɛda a ɔduruu hɔ ara pɛ, na nkurɔfoɔ tee ne nka sɛ waba hɔ.
25 But a woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, immediately hearing of him, came in, and fell at his feet.
Ɛhɔ ara na ɔbaa bi a honhommɔne hyɛ ne babaa ketewa bi mu baa ne nkyɛn. Na wate Yesu nka enti, ɔbɛbuu no nkotodwe.
26 The woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast out the demon from her daughter.
Ɔbaa no srɛɛ no sɛ ɔntu saa honhommɔne no mfiri ne ba no mu mma no. Na saa ɔbaa yi yɛ Helani a wɔwoo no wɔ Siro-Foinike.
27 And he said to her, Let the children be filled first; for it is not well to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ɛsɛ sɛ mma no mee ansa. Na ɛnyɛ sɛ wɔde mma aduane ma nkraman.”
28 But she answered, and saith to him, Yea, Lord; even the little dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.
Ɔbaa no nso buaa no sɛ, “Owura, ɛyɛ nokorɛ deɛ, nanso ɛyɛ a, wɔde aduane a aka wɔ mmɔfra no prɛte mu no bi ma nkraman a wɔhyehyɛ ɛpono no ase no.”
29 And he said to her, For this saying go thy way; the demon hath gone out of thy daughter.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Wo mmuaeɛ pa no enti, masa wo babaa no yadeɛ. Kɔ efie. Honhommɔne no afiri ne mu afi.”
30 And going away to her house, she found the child laid upon the bed, and the demon gone out.
Ɔduruu efie no, ɔhunuu sɛ ne babaa no da mpa so dinn a honhommɔne no afiri ne mu ampa ara.
31 And again leaving the borders of Tyre, he came through Sidon to the lake of Galilee, through the midst of the borders of Decapolis.
Yesu firi Tiro no, ɔfaa Sidon mansini a emu nkuro yɛ edu no so, bɛduruu Galilea Po so.
32 And they bring to him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech, and beseech him to lay his hand upon him.
Wɔde ɔsotifoɔ bi a ɔsane yɛ mumu brɛɛ no. Wɔn a wɔwɔ hɔ no nyinaa srɛɛ Yesu sɛ, ɔmfa ne nsa nka ɔyarefoɔ no, na ɔnsa no yadeɛ.
33 And taking him aside from the multitude, he put his fingers into his ears, and having spit, touched his tongue;
Yesu sɔɔ ne mu de no firii nnipakuo no mu. Afei, ɔde ne nsateaa hyɛɛ ɔbarima no asom, tee ntasuo de kaa ne tɛkrɛma.
34 and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith to him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.
Ɔhwɛɛ soro, guu ahome teaam sɛ, “Hefata!” Aseɛ ne, “bue!”
35 And his ears were opened; and the string of his tongue was immediately loosed, and he spoke plain.
Amonom hɔ ara, ɔbarima no tumi tee asɛm, na ɔhyɛɛ aseɛ kasaeɛ!
36 And he charged them to tell no one; but the more he charged them, the more did they publish it.
Yesu bɔɔ nnipakuo no ano sɛ, wɔmmmɔ asɛm no dawuro nkyerɛ obiara. Nanso, mpɛn dodoɔ a ɔbraa wɔn no, na trɛ ara na wɔn nso wɔretrɛ asɛm no mu.
37 And they were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well; he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
Saa asɛm yi maa wɔn ho dwirii wɔn yie. Enti, wɔkaa sɛ, “Yesu ayɛ adeɛ nyinaa yie, ɔma asotifoɔ mpo te asɛm, na mumu nso kasa!”
