< Mark 7 >
1 The Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around him.
Na rĩrĩ, Afarisai na arutani amwe a watho arĩa moimĩte Jerusalemu makĩũngana harĩ Jesũ na
2 They saw that some of his disciples ate bread with hands that were defiled, that is, unwashed.
makĩona arutwo ake amwe makĩrĩa irio na moko maarĩ na thaahu, ũguo nĩ ta kuuga, matethambĩte moko.
3 (For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands, because they hold to the tradition of the elders.
(Afarisai na Ayahudi othe matirĩĩaga irio matethambĩte moko mao wega kũringana na kĩrĩra gĩa athuuri.
4 When the Pharisees come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they bathe themselves, and they hold fast to many other traditions, such as the washing of cups, pots, copper vessels, and the couches upon which they eat.)
Rĩrĩa moima ndũnyũ matingĩrĩa matambĩte gwĩthamba. Na nĩ marũmagia irĩra ingĩ, ta gũthambia ikombe, na nyũngũ o na mbirika).
5 The Pharisees and the scribes asked Jesus, “Why do your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, for they eat their bread with unwashed hands?”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Afarisai na Arutani a watho makĩũria Jesũ atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmaga arutwo aku mage gũtũũra kũringana na irĩra cia athuuri, na makarĩĩaga irio na moko marĩ na thaahu?”
6 But he said to them, “Isaiah prophesied well about you hypocrites. He wrote, 'This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Isaia aaririe ma rĩrĩa aarathire ũhoro wanyu, inyuĩ hinga ici; o ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ: “‘Andũ aya maaheaga gĩtĩĩo na mĩromo, no ngoro ciao ikoragwo irĩ kũraya na niĩ.
7 Empty worship they offer me, teaching the rules of men as their doctrines.'
Nao maahooyaga o tũhũ; morutani marĩa marutanaga no mawatho ma andũ.’
8 You abandon the commandment of God and hold fast to the tradition of men.”
Mũtiganĩirie maathani ma Ngai, mũkarũmia irĩra cia andũ.”
9 He also said to them, “How well you reject the commandment of God so you may keep your tradition!
Agĩcooka akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ nĩmũgĩĩte na njĩra njega ya gũtiganĩria maathani ma Ngai atĩ nĩguo mũrũmie irĩra cianyu ene!
10 For Moses said, 'Honor your father and your mother,' and, 'He who speaks evil of his father or mother will surely die.'
Nĩgũkorwo Musa oigire atĩrĩ, ‘Tĩĩa thoguo na nyũkwa,’ na, ‘Ũrĩa wothe ũkaaruma ithe kana nyina no nginya ooragwo.’
11 But you say, 'If a man says to his father or mother, “Whatever help you would have received from me is Corban”' (that is to say, 'Given to God'),
No inyuĩ muugaga atĩ mũndũ angĩĩra ithe kana nyina atĩrĩ, ‘Kĩrĩa ingĩagũteithia nakĩo nĩ Korubani’ (ũguo nĩ kuuga, nĩ kĩheo kĩamũrĩre Ngai),
12 then you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or his mother.
na mũticookaga kũmwĩtĩkĩria ekĩre ithe kana nyina ũndũ.
13 You are making the commandment of God void by your tradition which you have handed down. And many similar things you do.”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũkaagithia kiugo kĩa Ngai kĩene na ũndũ wa kĩrĩra kĩanyu kĩrĩa mũthiiaga mũgĩtiganagĩra. Na nĩmwĩkaga maũndũ maingĩ ta macio.”
14 He called the crowd again and said to them, “Listen to me, all of you, and understand.
O rĩngĩ Jesũ agĩĩta kĩrĩndĩ harĩ we agĩkĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ andũ aya othe, thikĩrĩriai na mũigue.
15 There is nothing from outside of a person that can defile him when it enters into him. It is what comes out of the person that defiles him.”
Gũtirĩ kĩndũ kĩrĩ nja ya mũndũ kĩngĩmũgwatia ‘thaahu’ nĩ ũndũ wa gũtoonya thĩinĩ wake. No rĩrĩ, kĩrĩa kiumaga thĩinĩ wa mũndũ nĩkĩo kĩmũgwatagia ‘thaahu’.”
(Aakorwo mũndũ arĩ na matũ ma kũigua, nĩakĩigue).
17 Now when Jesus left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about the parable.
Thuutha wa gũtigana na kĩrĩndĩ na gũtoonya nyũmba, arutwo ake makĩmũũria ũhoro wa ngerekano ĩyo.
18 Jesus said, “Are you also still without understanding? Do you not see that whatever enters into a person from outside cannot defile him,
Nake Jesũ akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “O na inyuĩ mũtirĩ mũrataũkĩrwo o na rĩu? Kaĩ mũtooĩ atĩ gũtirĩ kĩndũ gĩtoonyaga thĩinĩ wa mũndũ kuuma na nja kĩngĩmũgwatia thaahu?
19 because it cannot go into his heart, but it goes into his stomach and then passes out into the latrine?” With this statement Jesus declared all foods clean.
Nĩgũkorwo gĩtitoonyaga ngoro-inĩ yake, no gĩtoonyaga nda yake gĩgacooka gĩkoima mwĩrĩ-inĩ wake.” (Akiuga ũguo-rĩ, Jesũ nĩgũtua aatuaga atĩ irio ciothe itirĩ thaahu).
20 He said, “It is that which comes out of the person that defiles him.
Agĩthiĩ na mbere na kwaria, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Kĩrĩa kiumaga thĩinĩ wa mũndũ nĩkĩo kĩmũgwatagia thaahu.
21 For from within a person, out of the heart, proceed evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder,
Nĩgũkorwo ngoro-inĩ cia andũ nĩkuo kuumaga meciiria mooru, ũhũũri maraya, na ũici, na ũragani, na ũtharia,
22 adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, folly.
na ũkoroku, na rũmena, na maheeni, na ũũra-thoni, na ũiru, na njambanio, na mwĩtĩĩo, o na ũrimũ.
23 All these evils come from within, and they are what defile a person.”
Maũru maya mothe moimaga thĩinĩ wa mũndũ na makamũgwatia thaahu.”
24 He got up from there and went away to the region of Tyre and Sidon. There he went into a house and he wanted no one to know where he was, but he could not be hidden.
Nake Jesũ akiuma kũu agĩthiĩ gũkuhĩ na Turo. Agĩtoonya nyũmba ĩmwe na ndeendaga mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ amenye atĩ arĩ kũu; no ndangĩahotire kwĩhitha.
25 In fact, as soon a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit heard about him, she came and fell down at his feet.
Na rĩrĩ, mũtumia warĩ na kairĩtu kaarĩ na ngoma thũku rĩrĩa aiguire ũhoro wake, agĩũka akĩĩgũithia thĩ magũrũ-inĩ make.
26 Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by descent. She begged him to cast out the demon from her daughter.
Mũtumia ũcio aarĩ Mũyunani, waciarĩirwo Foinike ya Suriata. Nake agĩthaitha Jesũ aingate ngoma ĩyo thũku yume thĩinĩ wa kairĩtu gake.
27 He said to her, “Let the children first be fed. For it is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs.”
Nake Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Reke ciana ciambe irĩe ihũũne, nĩgũkorwo ti wega kuoya mĩgate ya ciana na kũmĩikĩria ngui.”
28 But she answered and said to him, “Yes, Lord, even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs.”
Nake mũtumia ũcio akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Noguo Mwathani, no o na ngui irĩ rungu rwa metha nĩ irĩĩaga rũitĩki rũrĩa rũitagwo nĩ ciana.”
29 He said to her, “Because you have said this, you are free to go. The demon has gone out of your daughter.”
Jesũ agĩcooka akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo wacookia-rĩ, wĩthiĩre; ndaimono nĩyoima thĩinĩ wa mwarĩguo.”
30 She went back to her house and found the child lying on the bed, and the demon was gone.
Mũtumia ũcio akĩinũka mũciĩ agĩkora kaana gake gakomete ũrĩrĩ-inĩ na ndaimono ĩrĩkĩtie gũthiĩ.
31 Then he went out again from the region of Tyre, and went through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee up into the region of the Decapolis.
Ningĩ Jesũ akiuma kũu gũkuhĩ na Turo agĩtuĩkanĩria Sidoni, agĩikũrũka nginya iria-inĩ rĩa Galili, agĩtoonya bũrũri wa Dekapoli.
32 They brought to him someone who was deaf and had difficulty speaking, and they begged him to lay his hand on him.
Arĩ kũu andũ amwe makĩmũrehere mũndũ ũtaiguaga na ũtaaragia, makĩmũthaitha amũigĩrĩre guoko.
33 He took him aside from the crowd privately, and he put his fingers into his ears, and after spitting, he touched his tongue.
Na thuutha wa kũmũtwara handũ keheri-inĩ, haraaya na kĩrĩndĩ, Jesũ agĩtoonyia ciara ciake matũ ma mũndũ ũcio. Agĩcooka agĩtua mata na akĩhutia rũrĩmĩ rwa mũndũ ũcio namo.
34 He looked up to heaven, he sighed and said to him, “Ephphatha,” that is to say, “Open!”
Akĩrora na igũrũ, akĩhũmũka na hinya, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Efatha!” (ũguo nĩ kuuga, “Hingũka!”).
35 At once his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he began to speak plainly.
Aarĩkia kuuga ũguo matũ ma mũndũ ũcio makĩhingũka na rũrĩmĩ rwake rũkĩregera akĩambĩrĩria kwaria o wega.
36 Jesus ordered them to tell no one. But the more he ordered them, the more abundantly they proclaimed it.
Nake Jesũ akĩmaatha matikeere mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ. No ũrĩa akĩragĩrĩria kũmakaania, noguo makĩragĩrĩria kwaria mũno ũhoro ũcio.
37 They were extremely astonished, saying, “He has done all things well. He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.”
Nao andũ makĩgega mũno makĩria, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩekĩte maũndũ mothe wega. O na agatũmaga andũ arĩa mataiguaga maigue na arĩa mataaragia maarie.”
