< Mark 7 >
1 AND there gathered to him Pharishee and Sophree, who had come from Urishlem;
And the Pharisees and certain ones of the scribes, having come from Jerusalem, gather to Him.
2 and they saw some of his disciples eating bread with their hands not washed; and they complained.
And seeing certain ones of His disciples eating bread with defiled, that is, unwashed hands.
3 For all the Jihudoyee and Pharishee, unless they carefully wash their hands, do not eat, because they hold the tradition of the elders;
For the Pharisees and all the Jews, unless they diligently wash their hands, do not eat, holding the tradition of the elders.
4 and (coming) from the market, unless they lave, they eat not. And many other of those (things) there are which they have received to observe, (as) the baptisms of cups, and of measures, and of brasen utensils, and of beds.
And from the forum, unless they may baptize themselves, they do not eat: and many other things which they have received to hold, the baptism of cups, and pots, and brazen vessels, and couches.
5 And the Sophree and Pharishee questioned him, Why do not your disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders; but, while their hands are not washed, eat bread?
Then the Pharisees and scribes asked Him, Wherefore do not thy disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders: but they eat bread with unwashed hands?
6 But he said to them, Well prophesied concerning you Eshaia the prophet, you hypocrites; as it is written, This people with their lips honour me, but their heart is very far from me.
And responding He said to them, Beautifully did Isaiah prophesy concerning you hypocrites, as has been written, This people honor me with lips, but their heart is far from me.
7 But in vain do they reverence me while they teach the teachings of the commandments of men.
In vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
8 For you have abandoned the commandment of God and hold the tradition of men, as the baptisms of cups and measures, and many things like these.
For having left the commandment of God, you are holding the tradition of men.
9 He said to them (moreover), You decently suppress the commandment of God, that you may establish your tradition.
And He said to them, Truly, you make void the commandment of God, that you may hold your own tradition.
10 For Musha hath said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and whosoever curseth father and mother, the death he shall die.
For Moses said, Honor thy father and thy mother; and let the one speaking evil of father and mother die the death.
11 But you say, If a man shall say to his father, or to his mother, My oblation, (be that) whatever from me thou mayest profit;
But you say, If a man may say to father or mother, Corban, that is a gift, whatsoever you may be profited by me;
12 and you permit him not to do any thing for his father and his mother.
and you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or mother;
13 But you reject the word of Aloha for the sake of the tradition which you have delivered: and many similar (observances) to these you practise.
making void the word of God by your tradition, which you have given: and you do many such similar things.
14 And Jeshu called the whole multitude, and said to them, Hear me, all of you, and understand:
And calling the crowd to Him again, He said to them, Hear all ye, and understand.
15 It is not that which is without the man, and which entereth into him, that can defile him: but that which proceedeth from him, that defileth a man.
There is nothing without a man coming into him, which is competent to defile him: but those things coming out from him, these are the things which defile the man.
16 He who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
If any one has ears to hear, let him hear.
17 But when Jeshu had gone into the house (apart) from the multitude, his disciples asked him concerning that parable.
And when He came from the multitude into the house, His disciples asked Him the parable.
18 He said to them, How dull are even you! Know you not, that nothing from without that entereth a man can defile him,
And He says to them, Are you still without understanding? Do you not know that everything external entering into a man is not able to defile him?
19 because it entereth not into his heart, but into his belly, and is cast out in the purgation which all food purgeth?
Because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and is cast out into the excrement, purifying all edibles.
20 But that which proceedeth from a man, that polluteth a man.
And He said, Everything proceeding out from the man, that defiles the man.
21 For from within, from the heart of the sons of men, go forth evil thoughts, adultery, fornication, robbery, murder,
For within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil reasonings, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 rapacity, malice, fraud, obscenity, an evil eye, blasphemy, vain-glory, folly;
thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, impurity, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, folly.
23 all these evils come from within, and they defile a man.
All these evils proceed out from within, and defile the man.
24 FROM thence Jeshu arose and went to the confine of Tsur and of Tsaidon, and entered into a certain house: and he was unwilling that any man should know of him, but he could not conceal.
And rising up, He departed thence into the regions of Tyre and Sidon. And having entered into a house, and He wished no one to know it: and He was not able to be hidden.
25 For immediately heard a certain woman concerning him, whose daughter had an unclean spirit; and she came, (and) fell before his feet.
For a woman hearing concerning Him, whose daughter had an unclean spirit, having come worshiped at His feet.
26 But that woman was a Gentile of Phuniki of Suria, and she prayed of him to cast out the demon from her daughter.
For the woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by race; and asked Him that He may cast the demon out of her daughter.
27 But Jeshu said to her, Let the children first be filled; for it is not well to take the bread of the children and cast it to the dogs.
And He said to her, Permit the children first to be fed: for It is not good to take the children's bread and cast it to little dogs.
28 But she answering said to him, Yes, my Lord, yet the dogs also from beneath the table eat the crumbs of the children.
And she responded and says to Him, Yea, Lord: for even the little dogs eat the crumbs of the children under the table.
29 Jeshu saith to her, Go; on account of that word, the demon hath gone forth from thy daughter.
And He said to her, On account of this word go; the demon has already gone out from thy daughter.
30 And she went to her house, and found her daughter lying on the couch, and the demon had gone out from her.
And having come into her house, she found the demon gone out, and the daughter lying on the bed.
31 Jeshu again departed from the confine of Tsur and of Tsaidon, and came to the sea of Galila, on the confine of the Ten Cities;
And having again come out from Tyre and Sidon, He came to the Sea of Galilee, amid the coasts of Decapolis.
32 and they brought to him a blind man, a stammerer, and besought him to lay upon him the hand.
And they bring Him a deaf man, speaking with difficulty; and intreat Him that He may lay His hand on him.
33 And he took him aside from the crowd by himself, and put his fingers in his ears, and spat, and touched his tongue.
And taking him from the crowd privately, He put His fingers in his ears, and having spat, He touched his tongue;
34 And he looked up to heaven, and sighed, and said to him, Be opened:
and looking up to heaven, he groaned, and says to him, Ephphatha, which is, Be thou opened.
35 and in that hour his ears were opened, and the bond of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plainly.
And immediately his ears were opened, and the bond of his tongue loosed, and he continued to speak distinctly.
36 And he charged them that to no man they should tell this. But so much as he charged them, they the more proclaimed it;
And He charged them that they should tell no one: and the more He charged them, the more abundantly they proclaimed it.
37 and they were exceedingly astonished, and said, He doeth every thing well; the deaf he maketh to hear, and them who spoke not, to speak.
And were astonished exceedingly, saying, He has done all things well: He makes the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
