Mark 7
1 [One day some] Pharisees and some men who teach the [Jewish] laws gathered around Jesus. They had come from Jerusalem [to investigate him].
Mafalisayo nabhamo asimbi ambao bhafumila hu Yelusalemu bhahabhungana huzhwongule umwene.
2 The Pharisees and all of the [other] Jews [strictly] observe the traditions that their ancestors [taught. For example, they refuse to] eat until they first wash their hands [with a special ritual], especially after they [return] from [buying things in] the marketplace. [They think that God will be angry with them if they do not do that, because some person or thing unacceptable to God might have touched] ([them/the things they bought]). There are many other such [traditions] that they accept and try to obey. Specifically, they wash [in a special way] their cups, pots, kettles, containers, and beds [in order that using these things will not make God reject them].
Bha hulolie bhamobhamo huje asunda bhakwe bhalile ibumunda humakhono amachafu; saga gahoziwe.
(wa Mafalisayo na Yahudi bhundti sabhalya upaka bhozizye amakhono gao shishinza; bhakhatila utamanduni agosibhabho. Huwakati
Amafalisayo pabhabhuya afume mahali pasoko, sabhalya paka bhoje kwanza na huli ishelia zimo zimo abhuzywo bhazida gakabisa, ikiwa abhozye ivikombe, amafulila, ivhombo ivhishaba, na hata amatengo agatuniha uwakati uwishalye.)
5 That day, those Pharisees and men who taught the [Jewish] laws saw that some of his disciples were eating food with hands that they had not washed [using the special ritual]. So they questioned Jesus, saying, “[Your] disciples disobey the traditions of our ancestors! (You should not [let them] eat food if they have not washed their hands [using our special ritual]!/Why do you [let them] eat food if they have not washed their hands [using our special ritual]?) [RHQ]”
Amafalisayo na asimbi bhalihubhuzye uYesu, “Kwa nini asudwa bhaho sabhakhala afatane nagosi, bhao bhalwaibunda nabila asungusule amakhono?”
6 Jesus said to them, “Isaiah [rebuked your ancestors], and his words describe very well you people who only pretend to be good! He wrote these words [that God said]: These people speak [as if they] honor me, but they [SYN] really do not think about honoring me at all.
Lelo umwene ahabhabhabhula, “Isaya ahakuwashinza huje amwe mulibhivhi, asimba, 'Aje abhantu ibha bhanogopa humalo mu golo, lelo amoyo ga bho gali hutaloi nani.
7 It is useless for them to worship me, because they teach only what people have commanded [as if I myself had commanded them].
Bhabhombela inyiputoizywaswazya zyizyo izyasazi welewelewewa sazimuhimu bhamanyiziwa italabu izywa bhanadamu gabha poshala agao.'
8 You, [like your ancestors], refuse [to do] what God has commanded. Instead, you follow only the traditions that (others/your ancestors) have [taught].”
Muleshile iatalatibu izywa Nguluvhi namuzywejile izishibinadamu ugatwaposhile.”
9 Jesus also said to them, “[You think] [IRO] that you are clever in refusing to do what God commanded just so that you can obey your own traditions!
Ahayanga wa bhene muzikhanile amuli izwa Nguluvhi ishilaisi ili muziute izyinyu!
10 [For example, our ancestor] Moses [wrote God’s] command, ‘Honor your fathers and your mothers’. He also wrote, ‘[The authorities must] execute a person who speaks evil about his father or mother.’
Lelo pipo uMose ayajile, umwogopaje udada waho nunyina waho,' uwayanga amavhivhi wa dada au wamai wakwe lywoli aifwa.'
11 But you [teach people that it is all right that people no longer must help their parents. You teach people that it is all right if people] give their things to God [instead of giving them to their parents]. You allow them to say to their parents, ‘What I was going to give to you [to provide for you, I have now promised to] give to God. So I [cannot any longer help you]!’ As a result, you are [actually telling people] that they no longer have to help their parents!
Lelo amwe, 'muyanga huje umuntu akhayanga wadada wakwe au mai, “Usada gwagwunti gula ugwa hunda mwe jelela je afume hulini iyo mbuta yinyiputo,”' (ubho wayanje huje ifumile wa Ngulubhi')
isho ahuruhusu abhombe ijambo lwa lwunti alibhombe kwaajili ya dada au ya mai wakwe.
13 And, by doing that, you disregard what God commanded! You teach your own traditions to others [and tell them strongly that they should obey them] And you do many other things like that.”
Muyi bheha amuli Nguluvhi huje yilwene alete inyiho zywinyu. Na mambo aminji aga gali isho angamuomba.”
14 Then Jesus again summoned the crowd [to come closer. Then] he said to them [figuratively], “All of you people listen to me! [Try to] understand [DOU] [what I am about to tell you].
Abhakujile amakutano andthele nabhabhule, “Huje munuvhaje ane, amwe mwindhe, namu nelewe.
15 Nothing that people eat causes [God to] consider them to be unacceptable. On the contrary, it is that which comes from people’s (inner beings/hearts) that causes God to reject them.”
Nahamo hahunti huziwa muntu hahuchafula mtu kiingiapo kwake. Bali ni kile kimtokacho mtu ndicho kimchafuacho.
(Azingatile: usitali ugu, “khamba umuntu amakutu agahuvhwe ayuvhaaje” nashimo munakili izihalyi).
17 After Jesus had left the crowd and then entered a house with the disciples, they asked him about the parable [that he had just spoken].
U Yesu ahagaleha amakutano abhala khaya, asundwe bhahabhuzwa ufwano ugwo.
18 He replied, “([I am disappointed that] you also do not understand [what it means]!/Why can you not understand [what it means]?) [RHQ] (You ought to understand that nothing that [enters us from] outside can cause [God to] consider us unacceptable to him./Can you not understand that nothing that [enters us from] outside of us can cause [God to] consider us unacceptable to him?) [RHQ]
U Yesu ahayanga, “Namwe nantele saga muwelewa? Samulola hahunti ahahumwinjila umuntu hawezwa huchafule,
19 Instead of entering [and ruining] our minds/souls, it goes into our stomachs, and afterwards the refuse passes out [of our bodies].” By saying this, Jesus was declaring that people [can eat] any food without causing [God] to reject them.
pipo sahabhala huwoyo gwakwe, lelo ishashiwinjila muvhanda vhakwe shishizanya nabhale hucho.” Hu ma elezo iga uYesu abhiha ivhalwe vhunti abhe vinza.
20 He also said, “It is the [thoughts and actions] that come from within people that cause [God] to consider them unacceptable to him.
Ayanjile, “Shila isha shihufuma umuntu shashi huchafula.
21 Specifically, it is people’s innermost being [that causes them to] think things that are evil; they act immorally, they steal [things], they commit murder.
Pipo hafuma muhati mwa muntu, huzihu mwoyo gafuma amawazo amachafu, akwesane, uwibha, agoje,
22 They [commit] adultery, they are greedy, they [act] maliciously, they deceive [people]. They [act] indecently, they envy [people], they speak evil about others, they are proud, and they [act] foolishly.
amabhibhi iga gunti hutamani ishibhibhi, ubhibhi uwaswovhe, akwesane, uwivu aphuyile, awivune, nulema.
23 People think [these thoughts] and then they do these evil actions, and that is what causes [God to] consider them unacceptable to him.”
Amabhibhi iga gunti gafuma muhati, gaga huchafula umuntu.”
24 After Jesus [and his disciples] left [Galilee district], they went to the region around Tyre. While he stayed at a certain house, he desired that no one know [it], but people soon found out [that he was there].
Abhuha afume pala nashile ukowa wa Tiro na Sidoni. Ahainjila muhanti haga ahazaga umuntu yayundhe amanyaje huje aliipo, lelo haga ihazehana hufise.
25 A certain woman, whose daughter had an evil spirit [within her], heard about Jesus. At once she came to him and prostrated herself at his feet.
Lelo ghafla ushi, ula umwana wakwe udodo ani roho ichafu, ahuvha ihabali hakwe, ahiza, naha gwa magaga agakwe.
26 This woman [was not a Jew. Her ancestors came] from Greece [country], but she was born in [the region around] Phoenicia [town] in Syria district. She pleaded with Jesus that he expel the evil spirit from her daughter.
Ushi uyo Muyunani, wikambela ilwa Kifoeniki. Alambile umwene anyizhwe ipo afume wa lyindu wakwe.
27 But he [wanted to see how strongly she believed in him. So, suggesting that he should help the Jews first and not the non-Jews whom some Jews called dogs] [MET], [he] spoke to her saying, “First let the children eat all they want, because it is not good for someone to take the food [the mother has prepared] for the children and then throw it to the [little] dogs.”
U Yesu ahabhula ushi, “Bhateshe abhana bhaliziwaje huje sashili aweje ibumunda ilwabhana azitajile ibwa.”
28 But [to show that she believed that non-Jews could also receive help from God] [MET], she replied to him, “Sir, [what you say is] correct, but even the [little] dogs, which lie under the table, eat the crumbs that the children [drop].”
Lelo ushi ajibule nayanje, “Ena Bwana, ibwa panzi yimeza ivhavhi sagala ivhalye vha bhana.”
29 [Jesus] said to her, “Because of what you have said, [you have shown me that you believe in what I can do for you]. So I will help you. Now you may go [home, because I have caused] the evil spirit to leave your daughter.”
Abhula, “Ahuje pepo uyanjile ishi, uli mwaushe ashile. Iphepo ifumile ulindu waho.”
30 The woman returned to her house and saw that her child was lying [quietly] on the bed and that the evil spirit had left.
Ushi ahabhuya khaya yakwe ahamwaga ulindu wakwe agonile pashitala, iphepo ali afumile.
31 Jesus [and his disciples] left the region around Tyre [city] and went [north] through Sidon [city], then [toward the east] through the district of the Ten Towns, and then [south] to [the towns near] Lake Galilee.
U Yesu afumile inje yikowa wa Tiro na ashizanije Sidoni abhalile hunsumbi ya Galilaya pakakanda ya Dikapolisi.
32 [There], people brought to him a man who was deaf and who could hardly talk. They begged [Jesus] to lay his hands on him [in order to heal him].
Bhahaleta umuntu uya sahuvha uyasawezya ayanje shishiza, bhalambile uYesu huje abhishe amakhono pamwanya yakwe.
33 [So Jesus] took him away from the crowd [in order that the two of them could be] alone. Then he put [one of] his fingers into [each of] the man’s ears. After he spat [on his fingers], he touched the man’s tongue [with his fingers].
Ahumwefwa hunzhi ikundi shisili abhiha inyovhe makutu gakwe, bada ya aswe amate apala manzywa ulumili lyakwe.
34 Then he looked up toward heaven, he sighed [because he was concerned for the man], and then [in his own language] he said to the man’s [ears], “Ephphatha”, which means, “Be opened {Open up}!”.
Ahenyizhwe humwanya amaso ahutuya na hubhule, “Efata,” isuo wa huyanje “fuguha!”
35 At once the man could hear plainly [MTY]. He also began to speak clearly because [what was causing him to be unable to speak] was healed {Jesus healed [what was causing him to be unable to speak]}.
Umuda gwagula amakutu gahiguha, nahala ahazijile awezywa ayanjeshishinza.
36 Jesus told ([the people/his friends]) not to tell anyone [what he had done]. But, although he ordered them [and others] repeatedly [not to tell anyone about it], they kept talking about it very much.
Abhamulila bhaganje hubhele umuntu wabhunti. Lelo pali abhamulila bhanje hubhule umuntu pabha zidile ayanje ibhahalileizyo zinyijii.
37 [People who heard about it] were utterly amazed and were saying [enthusiastically], “Everything he has done is wonderful! [Besides doing other amazing things], he enables deaf people to hear! And he enables those who cannot speak to speak!”
Lyoli bhashijizhiwe, nayanje, “Abhombile shila hantu shishinza. Hata abhombile abhasa bhahuvha amakutu ahuvhe na bhabubu ayanje.”
