Mark 7
1 One day the Pharisees and some of the teachers of the Law who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus.
Mapalishayo na bhaajiganya bha Shalia bhananji kukopoka ku Yelushalemu, gubhapitengene kwa a Yeshu.
2 They had noticed that some of his disciples ate their food with their hands ‘defiled,’ by which they meant unwashed.
Gubhaabhweninji bhaajiganywa bhananji, bhalilyanganga shalya gwangali nabha makono, malinga shiikupinjikwa na ikubho ya Shiyaudi.
3 (For the Pharisees, and indeed all strict Jews, will not eat without first scrupulously washing their hands, holding in this to the traditions of their ancestors.
Pabha Mapalishayo na Bhayaudi bhowe bhashinkubhikanga mmitima jabhonji miungu ja bhanangulungwa bhabhonji, nngalya shindu gwangali nabha.
4 When they come from market, they will not eat without first sprinkling themselves; and there are many other customs which they have inherited and hold to, such as the ceremonial washing of cups, and jugs, and copper pans).
Na kabhili bhakalyanganga shindu sha kopoka kushokoni gwangali kuukanga, na jaapali mikubho jina jibhayobhelelenje, malinga kuukanga bhilika na migabho na indu ya shabha.
5 So the Pharisees and the teachers of the Law asked Jesus this question – “How is it that your disciples do not follow the traditions of our ancestors, but eat their food with defiled hands?”
Bhai, Mapalishayo na bhaajiganya bha Shalia gubhaabhushiyenje a Yeshu, “Kwa nndi bhaajiganywa bhenu bhakaatendanga malinga shitushite jiganywa na bhanangulungwa bhetu, ikabheje bhanalyanganga gwangali nabha makono?”
6 His answer was, “It was well said by Isaiah when he prophesied about you hypocrites in the words – ‘This is a people who honor me with their lips, while their hearts are far removed from me;
A Yeshu gubhaajangwilenje, “Mmanganya mmagulumba, a Ishaya bhashinkulondola ukoto genu mmanganya kuti. ‘A Nnungu bhanabheleketa kuti, bhene bhandunjibha bhananyogopanga kwa malobhepe, Ikabheje mitima jabhonji jishitalikangana na nne.
7 but vainly do they worship me, For they teach but human precepts.’
Kundindibhalila kwabhonji kwayoyo, Pabha majiganyo gabhonji ni malajilo ga shigundupe.’
8 You neglect God’s commandments and hold to human traditions.
“Mmanganya nnalekanga malajilo ga a Nnungu, nkupinga nkamulanje miungu ja bhandu.”
9 Wisely do you set aside God’s commandments,” he exclaimed, “to keep your own traditions!
A Yeshu gubhapundile kubheleketa, “Mmanganya nnaalekanga Malajilo ga a Nnungu nkupinga nkagulanje ikubho yenunji.
10 For while Moses said ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and ‘Let anyone who abuses their father or mother suffer death,’
Pabha a Musha bhaashite, ‘Gwaajogope ainago na akwenu.’ Na kabhili bhaashite, ‘Akwaatukana ainagwe na akwabhe, anapinjikwa abhulagwe’.
11 you say ‘If a person says to their father or mother “Whatever of mine might have been of service to you is Corban”’ (which means ‘Set apart for God’) –
Ikabheje mmanganya nnajiganyanga, ‘Monaga mundu akwete shindu sha kwaapa ainagwe eu akwabhe, abheleketaga kuti, njikwapa a Nnungu,
12 why, then you do not allow them to do anything further for their father or mother!
bhai, akapinjikwa kabhili kwaapa ainagwe eu akwabhe.’
13 In this way you nullify the words of God by your traditions, which you hand down; and you do many similar things.”
Nneyo shinkuti kulinyegayanga lilobhe lya a Nnungu ligongo lya miungu jenunji. Nnatendanga indu yaigwinji malinga yeneyo.”
14 Then Jesus called the people to him again, and said, “Listen to me, all of you, and mark my words.
A Yeshu gubhabhelekete kabhili na lugwinjili lula bhalinkuti, “Mmbilikananje mmowe na mmumanyanje.
15 There is nothing external to a person, which by going into them can defile them; but the things that come out of a person are the things that defile them.”
Shakwa shalya, shalya mundu shikuntenda anyate, ikabhe ikunkopoka nkati ni ikuntenda anyate.
Akwete makutu ga pilikanilajo apilikane.”
17 When Jesus went indoors, away from the crowd, his disciples began questioning him about this saying.
Bhakaalekanjeje bhandu, gubhajinjile nnyumba, bhaajiganywa bhabho gubhaabhushiyenje malombolelo ga lutango lula.
18 “What, do even you understand so little?” exclaimed Jesus. “Don’t you see that there is nothing external to a person, which by going into a person, can defile them,
Na bhalabho a Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje, “Bhuli, nkali mmanganya nkakumumanyanga malinga bhananji? Nkakumumanyanga kuti shalya, shalya mundu shikakuntenda anyate?
19 because it does not pass into his heart, but into his stomach, and is afterward got rid of?” – in saying this Jesus pronounced all food clean.
Pabha shikakunjinjila muntima ikabhe mmatumbope, kungai akakwenda kulilindi?” Kwa bheleketa nneyo a Yeshu bhashinkwiitenda yalya yowe kubha ya mmbone.
20 “It is what comes out from a person,” he added, “that defiles them,
A Yeshu gubhapundile bheleketa, “Shikunkopoka mundu muntima shenesho shikuntenda anyate.
21 for it is from within, out of the hearts of people, that there come evil thoughts – sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,
Pabha muntima uka mundu munakopoka ng'aniyo yangali ya mmbone ya labhalabha na gwii na bhulaga,
22 greed, wickedness, deceit, indecency, envy, slander, haughtiness, folly;
ya utwai na shienga na kwetela indu na unami na kujajatika na lupimililo na matukano na mbwinya na ungumba.
23 all these wicked things come from within, and do defile a person.”
Yene yowei muikopoka muntima uka mundu, yeneyo ni ikuntenda anyate.”
24 On leaving that place, Jesus went to the district of Tyre and Sidon. He went into a house, and did not wish anyone to know it, but could not escape notice.
A Yeshu gubhajabhwile pepala, gubhapite mmbali ya ku Tilo na ku Shidoni. Kweneko gubhajinjile nnyumba jimo, pubhapingaga inamanyishe na bhandu ikabheje bhangakombola kwiiya.
25 For a woman, whose little daughter had a foul spirit in her, heard of him immediately, and came and threw herself at his feet –
Penepo bhakongwe bhamo bhashinkukola mwali akwete maoka, gubhapilikene ngani ja a Yeshu. Bhai, gubhaishe nikwiigwiya pa makongono ga a Yeshu.
26 the woman was a foreigner, from Syrian Phoenicia – and she begged him to drive the demon out of her daughter.
Bhene bhakongwebho pubhaaliji Bhagiliki bha ku Poinike shilambo sha Shilia. Bhai, gubhaajujile a Yeshu bhanshoye mwali jwabho lioka jula.
27 “Let the children be satisfied first,” answered Jesus. “For it is not fair to take the children’s food, and throw it to dogs.”
A Yeshu gubhaalugulile, “Mwaalekanje bhana bhajukutanjeti, nngabha mwammbone kutola shalya sha bhana nikwiipa mbwa.”
28 “Yes, Master,” she replied. “Even the dogs under the table do feed on the children’s crumbs.”
Ikabheje bhakongwe bhala gubhajangwile, “Kweli Mmakulungwa, ikabheje nkali mbwa ili pai mesha inalya malepeyo ga bhana.”
29 “For saying that,” he answered, “you may go. The demon has gone out of your daughter.”
A Yeshu gubhaalugulile, “Kwa ligongo lya lilobhe limmeleketelyo, nnjende, lioka linshoshile mwali jwenu!”
30 The woman went home, and found the child lying on her bed, and the demon gone.
Bhai, gubhapite kunngwabho, gubhanng'imene mwali jwabho agonile pa shinanda na lioka jula anshoshile.
31 On returning from the district of Tyre, Jesus went, by way of Sidon, to the Sea of Galilee, across the district of the Ten Towns.
Kungai a Yeshu gubhajabhwile penepo gubhapite mmbali ja ku Tilo kupitila ku Shidoni, gubhaishe ku litanda lya Galilaya kupitila ku Dekapoli.
32 Some people brought to him a man who was deaf and almost dumb, and they begged Jesus to place his hand on him.
Bhai, gubhaapeleshelenje mundu bhubhu na akaapilikana, gubhaajujilenje bhammishile makono.
33 Jesus took him aside from the crowd quietly, put his fingers into the man’s ears, and touched his tongue with saliva.
A Yeshu gubhanshoshiye pa bhandu nikwenda najo kunyenje, gubhannjinjiye ngowe yabho mmakutu gakwe na gubhaunile mata nikunkwaya pa lulimi lwakwe.
34 Then, looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to the man, “Ephphatha!” which means ‘Be opened.’
Kungai a Yeshu gubhalolile kunani kunnungu, gubhatulwiye mbumu, gubhannugulile, “Epata,” Malombolelo gakwe “Uguka.”
35 The man’s ears were opened, the string of his tongue was freed, and he began to talk plainly.
Shangupe makutu gakwe gakuugukaga na lulimi lula guluugwishe, gwabhelekete ukoto.
36 Jesus insisted on their not telling anyone; but the more he insisted, the more perseveringly they made it known,
A Yeshu gubhaamulishe bhanannugulilanje mundu yeila. Ikabheje pubhapundaga kwaalimbiyanga, nipubhapundangaga kushumiya ngani.
37 and a profound impression was made on the people. “He has done everything well!” they exclaimed. “He makes even the deaf hear and the dumb speak!”
Bhandu bhashinkulapanga kwa kaje, gubhashitenje, “Bhanatenda indu yowe ukoto, bhanakwaatendanga ashinangapilikane, kupilikana kabhili na ashibhubhu kubheleketa.”
