Mark 7
1 One day the Pharisees and some of the Teachers of the Law who had come from Jerusalem gathered round Jesus.
Kangi Vafalisayu vangi na Vawula va Malagizu vevahumili ku Yelusalemu valundumini palongolo ya Yesu.
2 They had noticed that some of his disciples ate their food with their hands ‘defiled,’ by which they meant unwashed.
Vavaweni vawuliwa vangi va Yesu vilya chakulya kwa mawoko changasamba ngati cheyiganikiwa na malagizu.
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.
Muni Vafalisayu na Vayawudi vangi vayovalili kulanda mivelu ya vagogo wavi, muni valyayi lepi changasamba mawoko bwina.
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).
Kavili vakagula chakulya kuhuma pandu pakugulisila vindu, vilya lepi mbaka vasanja hoti. Mewa vavi na mivelu yingi ya namuna ya kusanja vikombi na viviga na vyombo ya shaba.
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?”
Hinu, Vafalisayu na Vawula va Malagizu vangi vakamkota Yesu, “Ndava kyani vawuliwa vaku vilanda lepi mambu ga kadeni kuhuma kwa vagogo vitu, ndava vilya changasamba mawoko?”
6 His answer was: “It was well said by Isaiah when he prophesied about you hypocrites in the words — ‘This is a people that honour me with their lips, while their hearts are far removed from me;
Yesu akavayangula, “Vandu mwavahomela! Isaya mweavi Mlota wa Chapanga, alotili chakaka kuvavala nyenye peayandiki, ‘Chapanga ijova, vandu venava vakunitopesa kwa malovi ndu, nambu mitima yavi yivii kutali na nene.
7 but vainly do they worship me, For they teach but the precepts of men.’
Kunigundamila kwavi chindu lepi, muni mambu geviwula ndi malagizu ga vandu ndu. Ngati malagizu ga Chapanga.’”
8 You neglect God’s commandments and hold to the traditions of men.
“Nyenye mulekili mihilu ya Chapanga na kukamulila mawuliwu ga vandu.”
9 Wisely do you set aside God’s commandments,” he exclaimed, “to keep your own traditions!
Yesu akayendelela kujova, “Nyenye mumanyili kuyepa cha kuchenjela mihilu ya Chapanga na kulanda mivelu yinu!
10 For while Moses said ‘Honour thy father and thy mother,’ and ‘Let him who reviles his father or mother suffer death,’
Muni Musa alagizi, ‘Muvatopesa dadi waku na nyina waku,’ Na, ‘Mweakumliga dadi waki amala nyina waki, yikumugana akomiwa.’
11 you say ‘If a man says to his father or mother “Whatever of mine might have been of service to you is Korban”’ (which means ‘Given to God’) —
Nambu nyenye muwula, ngati mundu avi na chindu chakumtangatila dadi waki amala nyina waki, nambu akajova, chindu chenicho ndi ‘Kolibani,’ Mana yaki njombi kwa Chapanga,
12 why, then you do not allow him to do anything further for his father or mother!
hinu yikumugana lepi kumtangatila dadi waki amala nyina waki.
13 In this way you nullify the words of God by your traditions, which you hand down; and you do many similar things.”
Chenichi ndi chemukulivevesa Lilovi la Chapanga ndava ya mawuliwu ga kuhalilana. Kangi mkita mambu gamahele ngati genago.”
14 Then Jesus called the people to him again, and said: “Listen to me, all of you, and mark my words.
Yesu aukemili kangi msambi wa vandu, akavajovela, “Muniyuwanilayi mwavoha na kumanya malovi aga.
15 There is nothing external to a man, which by going into him can ‘defile’ him; but the things that come out from a man are the things that defile him.”
Kawaka chakulya cheilya mundu chechihotola kumuhakasa palongolo ya Chapanga. Nambu mambu gegihuma mugati ya mundu ndi gegihotola kumuhakasa.
Mweavi na makutu ga kuyuwana na amanyayi!”
17 When Jesus went indoors, away from the crowd, his disciples began questioning him about this saying.
Paaulekili msambi wa vandu na kuyingila mu nyumba, vawuliwa vaki vakamkota mana ya luhumu lula.
18 “What, do even you understand so little?” exclaimed Jesus. “Do not you see that there is nothing external to a man, which by going into a man, can ‘defile’ him,
Mwene akavajovela, “Wu, hati nyenye mwimanya lepi? Kawaka chakulya chechikumyingila mundu chihotola lepi, kumuhakasa mundu palongolo ya Chapanga.
19 because it does not pass into his heart, but into his stomach, and is afterwards got rid of? — in saying this Jesus pronounced all food ‘clean.’
Ndava muni chikumyingila lepi mumtima, nambu mulileme, kangi chihumiswa kundindima.” Ndava ya kujova chenicho Yesu ayidikili vyakulya vyoha viliwayi.
20 “It is what comes out from a man,” he added, “that defiles him,
Yesu akayendelela kujova, “Chechihuma mumtima wa mundu chihotola kumuhakasa palongolo ya Chapanga.
21 for it is from within, out of the hearts of men, that there come evil thoughts — unchastity, theft, murder, adultery,
Muni mugati ya mumtima wa mundu, gihuma maholo gahakau, ukemi na kuyiva na kukoma,
22 greed, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, haughtiness, folly;
ugoni na unota na udese na uhakau na kuyiva na kunogela vindu vya vangi na luhonda na wihu na ng'omo na uyimu na maligu.
23 all these wicked things come from within, and do defile a man.”
Gahakau goha ago gihuma mumtima wa mundu, genago ndi gakumhakasa mundu palongolo ya Chapanga.”
24 On leaving that place, Jesus went to the district of Tyre and Sidon. And he went into a house, and did not wish anyone to know it, but could not escape notice.
Yesu awukili penapo akahamba kumuji wa Tilo. Kwenuko ayingili munyumba yimonga, mwene aganili lepi mundu amanyayi kuvya avili mugati, nambu ahotwili lepi kujifiya.
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 —
Mdala mmonga, msikana waki avili na mzuka, peayuwini malovi ga Yesu, kanyata akabwela akafugama palongolo ya magendelu ga Yesu.
26 the woman was a foreigner, a native of Syrian Phoenicia — and she begged him to drive the demon out of her daughter.
Mdala mwenuyo, avi Mgiliki, ndi mkolonjinji wa muji wa Foinike mulima wa ku Silia. Hinu akamuyupa Yesu amuwusa mzuka msikana waki.
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.”
Yesu akavajovela, vana vayukuta hoti, “Chabwina lepi kutola chakulya cha kuvayukutisa vana na kugatagila mabwa.”
28 “Yes, Master,” she replied; “even the dogs under the table do feed on the children’s crumbs.”
Nambu mdala yula akamyangula, “Chakaka, Bambu, hati mabwa gegavi pahi ya meza gilya masigalilu ga chakulya cha vana.”
29 “For saying that,” he answered, “you may go. The demon has gone out of your daughter.”
Yesu akamjovela, “Ndava ya lilovi lenilo, wuyayi kunyumba yaku. Mzuka umuwukili msikana waku!”
30 The woman went home, and found the child lying on her bed, and the demon gone.
Hinu, akahamba kunyumba yaki, amkolili msikana waki agonili palusongwani, na mzuka wamali kumuwuka.
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.
Kangi Yesu akawuka kumuji wa Tilo, akapitila pagati ya ku Sidoni, akahamba mbaka kunyanja ya Galilaya kuvedukila pamulima wa Dekapoli mana yaki miji kumi.
32 Some people brought to him a man who was deaf and almost dumb, and they begged Jesus to place his hand on him.
Ndi vakamletela ngayuwa nambu mewawa avi ngajova kwa Yesu, vakamuyupa amvikilayi mawoko muni amlamisa.
33 Jesus took him aside from the crowd quietly, put his fingers into the man’s ears, and touched his tongue with saliva.
Yesu akamvika pamuhana na msambi wa vandu mundu uyo. Akamsopa ngonji mumakutu. Kangi akahunya mata mulungoji lwaki na kumpamisa mululimi lwa mundu yula.
34 Then, looking up to Heaven, he sighed, and said to the man: “Ephphatha!” which means ‘Be opened.’
Kangi Yesu akalola kunani kwa Chapanga, akakeka kwa likakala, akamjovela, “Efata,” Mana yaki “Dindukayi.”
35 The man’s ears were opened, the string of his tongue was freed, and he began to talk plainly.
Lukumbi lulalula akatumbula kuyuwana bwina, mewawa lulimi lwaki lukajova bwina.
36 Jesus insisted upon their not telling any one; but the more he insisted, the more perseveringly they made it known,
Yesu akavalagiza vakotoka kumjovela mundu lijambu lila. Nambu cheayonjokisi kuvabesa, ndi chevadandisi malovi gala.
37 and a profound impression was made upon the people. “He has done everything well!” they exclaimed. “He makes even the deaf hear and the dumb speak!”
Vandu vakangisi neju, vakajova, “Avakitili goha gabwina hati vangayuwa kuyuwana, na vangajova kujova!”
