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].
Pambele, avafalisayi na vavulanisi va ndaghilo vamonga kuhuma ku Yelusalemu vakakong'haana pa Yesu.
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].
Vakavaagha avavulanisivua vamonga vilia na mavoko amalamafu, kwekuti kisila kwogha amavoko mu lwiho.
Ulwakuva aVyahudi vooni, kyongo aVafalisayi, nakalisagha kisila kwogha amavoko ndavule lwale lwiho lwa vakuulu vaave.
Kange umuunhu pano amumile ku lighulilo, naalyanoghiile kulia kisila kwogha amavoko. Nisingi nyinga sino valyupiile, ndavule isa kusuka ifikombe, ifivughaana ni fingi
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]”
Pepano aVafalisayi na vavulanisi va ndaghilo vakamposia uYesu vakati, “Kiki avavulanisivua vaako navivingilila inyiiho isa vakuulu viitu, pano vilia na mavoko amalamafu?”
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.
UYesu akavamula, akati, “Umue mwe vakedusi! Unguluve kukilila um'bili uYesaya alyajovile se sene vwimila umue, ndavule lilembilue, 'Avaanhu ava vikungina'ia pa pa mulomo, neke amoojo ghaave ghali kutali nuune.
7 It is useless for them to worship me, because they teach only what people have commanded [as if I myself had commanded them].
Vikunyimika neke ulwimiko lwave lusila luvumbulilo, ulwakuva vivulanisia indaghilo isa Nguluve, neke mugadilila inyiiho isa vaanhu.”
8 You, [like your ancestors], refuse [to do] what God has commanded. Instead, you follow only the traditions that (others/your ancestors) have [taught].”
“Sa kyang'haani, umue musilekile indaghilo isa Nguluve, neke mugadilila inyiiho isa vaanhu.”
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!
UYesu akavavuula kange akati, “Umue muvona lunono kukusileka indaghilo sa Nguluve, neke muvingililaghe inyiiho siinu!
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.’
Ulwakuva uNguluve kukilila kwa Moose alyatiile, 'Umwoghopaghe uvaaso nu mamaajo, kanviise nambe un'ina kuge alyatiile, 'Umuunhu juno bikumuligha uviise nambe ung'ina anoghiile kubudua.'
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!
Neke ume muvulanisia kuuti, umuunhu ndepoonu ikum'buula uviise nambe ung'ina kuuti, 'Kino niveele ninoghiile kukutanga, nihumisie, litekelo kwa Nguluve. '
APuo, mukum'biika umuunhu ujo aleke kukuvantanga avapaafi vaake, ulkuwakuva mwiti ahumisie kwa Nguluve.
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.”
Mu uluo mubenapula ilisio lya Nguluve, pano mugadilila inyiiho siinu sino mukwuping'hana. Kange muli ni nyiiho inyinga ndavule isio sino nasihuma kwa Nguluve.”
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].
UYesu akakemeela kange ilipugha ilya vaanhu akavavuula, akati, “Mumhulikisyaghe mweni, kange musitang'haniaghe sino nijova.
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.”
Nakwekili ikiini kino ilia umuunhu kino kikumpelela kuuva mlamafu, looli fino fihuma munkate mwa mwene.
Unya kupulika, apulikaghe!”
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].
UYesu na vavulanisivua vaake vakalikela ilipugha, vakingila mu nyumba. Pe avavulanisia vaake vakamposia imhola ija kihwanikisio kila.
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]
UYesu akavavula avavulanisivua vaake akati, “Na jumue nakumkulutang'hania? Namukagula kuuti, nakwekili ikiinu kino ilia umuunhu kino kikum'biika kuuva mulamafu?
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.
Ulwakuva nakiluta mu mwojo, looli kiluta mu lileme, neke pambele kihuma kunji.” Enendiliki, alyavusisie umwiko mu fyakulia fyoni.
20 He also said, “It is the [thoughts and actions] that come from within people that cause [God] to consider them unacceptable to him.
Kange uYesu akajova akati, “Ikiinu kino kihuma mu mwojo, kye kino kikumpelela umuunhu kuuva mulamafu.
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.
Ulwakuva mu mwojo, kye kino kikumpelela umuuhnu kuuuva mulamafu. Ulwakuva mu mwojo ghwa muunhu mwe muno sihuma: inyisaghilo imbiivi, uvughendamwalu, uvuhiiji, uvubudi,
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.
uvuvwafu, umwojo, uvuviiji, uvusyangi, amasaka, ikivini, amaligho, amatuupa na kupunia.
23 People think [these thoughts] and then they do these evil actions, and that is what causes [God to] consider them unacceptable to him.”
Inyivi sooni isi sihuma nkate mwa muunhu, isio se sino sikum'biika kuuva mulamafu.”
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].
UYesu akavuuka pala, akaluta mu makaaja gha Tiilo. Ukuo akingila mu nyumba ja muunhu jumonga, neke naakalondagha avaanhu vakagule.
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.
Looli unsiki ghughuo umukijuuva, juno umwana ghwa mwene n'debe alyale ni lipepo lilamafu, akapulika imhola sake, akisa, akaghua pasi pa maghulu ghamwene.
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.
Unkijuuva ujuo akisile Muyunani, ghwa kikolo kya Kifoeniki akansuma juue adage ilipepo kuhuma mwa mwalive
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.”
Neke uYesu akam'buula akati, “Uleke taasi avaana valie vikute, ulwakuve nalunono kutoola ikya vaan na kukusitosekasai imbua.”
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].”
Neke umukijuuva jula aka akamwamula uYesu akati.” Ghwa Nhaaata, ujovile se seene, poope nasi mbua sasilia ifimenyikila fino vasangwisie avaana paasi pa meesa.”
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.”
UYesu akam'buula akati, “UYesu akam'buula akati, “Vwimila iliso lino ujovile, vujagha, ilipepo limulekile umwalivo.”
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.
Umukijuuva jula akavuukka ivuja. Ye afikile ku kaaja, akamwagha umwalive aghonile pa kitala, ilipepo limulekile'
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.
UYesu akavuuka mu maakaja agha Tiilo kukilila mu likaaja ilya sidoni, pe akafika ku lisumbe ilya Galilaya na mu isi ija Dekapoli.
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].
Ukuo vakamuletela umuunhu unya mapule, kangevkinuunu. Vakampelepesia uYesu am'biike amavoko kuuti sooke.
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].
UYesu akam'busia umuunhu jula mu kipugha ikya vaanhu, akaseghuka naghwope pa vusyefu, akingisia ifyove fyaka mu mbulughutu, akafuunya amati na kukumwabasia ulumili.
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}!”.
Pepano uYesu akalola kukyanya, akasukunala, akam'buula, akati, “Efata,”Kwekuti, “Dinduka.”
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]}.
Palapala imbulughutu saake sikandinduka nalu lumili lukavopoka, pe akatengula kujova vunono.
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.
UYesu akavakaana avaanhu vala kuuti, navangm'bulaghe nambe muunhu sino avombile. Napano akavakanagha, aveene vakafikwisyagha imhola ku vaanhu vooni.
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!”
Avaanhu vakadegha kyongo vakati, “Imbombo sooni sino avombile nofu! Avanya mapule avapeliile kupulika na vakinuunu avapeliile kujova.”
