Markus 7
1 Variserid ja vaimulikud juhid, kes olid tulnud Jeruusalemmast alla, et Jeesusega kohtuda,
One day the Pharisees and some of the teachers of the Law who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus.
2 märkasid, et mõned tema jüngritest sõid „ebapuhaste“(pesemata) kätega.
They had noticed that some of his disciples ate their food with their hands ‘defiled,’ by which they meant unwashed.
3 (Variserid ja ükski juut ei söö enne, kui on oma esivanemate traditsiooni järgides käsi pesnud.
(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.
4 Samuti ei söö nad turult tulles enne, kui on pesnud. Nad järgivad veel paljusid muidki rituaale, näiteks kruuside, kannude ja kastrulite pesemine.)
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).
5 Nii küsisid variserid ja vaimulikud juhid Jeesuselt: „Miks ei järgi sinu jüngrid meie esivanemate traditsiooni? Nad söövad toitu ebapuhaste kätega.“
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?”
6 Jeesus vastas: „Jesajal oli teie, silmakirjatsejate, suhtes õigus, kui ta ütles: „See rahvas ütleb, et austab mind, kuid oma mõtetes on nad minust kaugel.
His answer was, “It was well said by Isaiah when he prophesied about you hypocrites in the words – ‘This is a people who honor me with their lips, while their hearts are far removed from me;
7 Nende jumalateenistusel ei ole mingit mõtet, sest see, mida nad doktriinidena õpetavad, on üksnes inimeste reeglid.“
but vainly do they worship me, For they teach but human precepts.’
8 Te eirate Jumala seadust ja järgite selle asemel hoolikalt hoopis inimeste traditsioone, “rääkis ta neile.
You neglect God’s commandments and hold to human traditions.
9 „Kui osavalt te jätate Jumala seaduse kõrvale, et saaksite vääramatult kinni pidada oma traditsioonidest!
Wisely do you set aside God’s commandments,” he exclaimed, “to keep your own traditions!
10 Mooses ütles: „Austa oma isa ja ema“ja „Kes iganes oma isa või ema neab, peab surema“.
For while Moses said ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and ‘Let anyone who abuses their father or mother suffer death,’
11 Aga teie ütlete, et kui keegi ütleb oma isale või emale: „Kõik, mille sa oleks võinud minult saada, on nüüd korban, “(see tähendab Jumalale pühendatud),
you say ‘If a person says to their father or mother “Whatever of mine might have been of service to you is Corban”’ (which means ‘Set apart for God’) –
12 siis ei luba te tal enam edaspidi oma ema ja isa heaks midagi teha.
why, then you do not allow them to do anything further for their father or mother!
13 Selle traditsiooni kaudu, mida te edasi annate, teete Jumala sõna tühiseks ja kehtetuks. Te teete veel palju selliseid asju.“
In this way you nullify the words of God by your traditions, which you hand down; and you do many similar things.”
14 Jeesus kutsus rahva jälle enda juurde ja ütles neile: „Palun kuulake mind ja saage aru.
Then Jesus called the people to him again, and said, “Listen to me, all of you, and mark my words.
15 Ebapuhtaks ei tee see, mis on väljas ja läheb sisse. Ebapuhtaks teeb see, mis tuleb välja.“
There is nothing external to a person, which by going into them can defile them; but the things that come out of a person are the things that defile them.”
17 Siis läks Jeesus sisse, et rahvahulga eest pääseda, ja tema jüngrid küsisid talt selle illustratsiooni kohta.
When Jesus went indoors, away from the crowd, his disciples began questioning him about this saying.
18 „Kas ka teie ei saa aru?“küsis ta neilt. „Kas te ei mõista, et see, mida te sööte, ei tee teid ebapuhtaks?
“What, do even you understand so little?” exclaimed Jesus. “Don’t you see that there is nothing external to a person, which by going into a person, can defile them,
19 See ei lähe teie mõistusesse, vaid kõhtu ja väljub siis ihust. Nii on kogu toit tseremoniaalselt puhas.
because it does not pass into his heart, but into his stomach, and is afterward got rid of?” – in saying this Jesus pronounced all food clean.
20 Ebapuhtaks teeb see, mis teist välja tuleb.
“It is what comes out from a person,” he added, “that defiles them,
21 Seestpoolt, inimese mõistusest, tulevad kurjad mõtted: seksuaalne ebamoraalsus, vargused, mõrvad, abielurikkumine,
for it is from within, out of the hearts of people, that there come evil thoughts – sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,
22 ahnus, õelus, valelikkus, sündsusetus, kadedus, laim, uhkus, hoolimatus −
greed, wickedness, deceit, indecency, envy, slander, haughtiness, folly;
23 kõik need pahed tulevad seestpoolt ja rüvetavad inimese.“
all these wicked things come from within, and do defile a person.”
24 Siis Jeesus lahkus ja läks Tüürose piirkonda. Ta ei tahtnud, et keegi teaks, et ta seal viibib, kuid ta ei suutnud seda saladuses hoida.
On leaving that place, Jesus went to the district of Tyre and Sidon. He went into a house, and did not wish anyone to know it, but could not escape notice.
25 Kui naine, kelle väikesel tütrel oli kuri vaim, kuulis Jeesusest, tuli ta kohe ja langes Jeesuse jalgade ette.
For a woman, whose little daughter had a foul spirit in her, heard of him immediately, and came and threw herself at his feet –
26 See naine oli kreeklanna, sündinud Sürofoiniikias. Ta palus, et Jeesus ajaks tema tütrest kurja vaimu välja.
the woman was a foreigner, from Syrian Phoenicia – and she begged him to drive the demon out of her daughter.
27 „Kõigepealt peavad lapsed saama kõhu täis süüa, “vastas Jeesus. „Ei ole õige võtta laste toit ja visata see koertele.“
“Let the children be satisfied first,” answered Jesus. “For it is not fair to take the children’s food, and throw it to dogs.”
28 „Õige, isand, “kostis naine, „aga isegi koerad laua all söövad lastest järelejäänud raasukesi.“
“Yes, Master,” she replied. “Even the dogs under the table do feed on the children’s crumbs.”
29 Jeesus ütles talle: „Tänu sellisele vastusele võid sa minna − kuri vaim on su tütrest lahkunud.“
“For saying that,” he answered, “you may go. The demon has gone out of your daughter.”
30 Naine läks koju ja leidis lapse voodis lamamas, kuri vaim aga oli ära läinud.
The woman went home, and found the child lying on her bed, and the demon gone.
31 Tüürose piirkonnast lahkudes läks Jeesus läbi Siidoni ja seejärel Galilea mere äärde ja Kümnelinnamaale.
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.
32 Seal toodi tema juurde kurt mees, kes ei suutnud ka korralikult rääkida. Toojad palusid Jeesusel meest oma käega puudutada ja ta terveks teha.
Some people brought to him a man who was deaf and almost dumb, and they begged Jesus to place his hand on him.
33 Kui Jeesus oli mehe rahvast eemale viinud, pani ta oma sõrmed kurdi mehe kõrvadesse. Seejärel puudutas ta mehe keelt süljega.
Jesus took him aside from the crowd quietly, put his fingers into the man’s ears, and touched his tongue with saliva.
34 Jeesus vaatas üles taevasse ja ütles ohates: „Effata, “mis tähendab: „Avane!“
Then, looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to the man, “Ephphatha!” which means ‘Be opened.’
35 Mehe kõrvad avanesid, tema kõnehäire oli kadunud ja ta hakkas korralikult rääkima.
The man’s ears were opened, the string of his tongue was freed, and he began to talk plainly.
36 Jeesus keelas rangelt sellest kellelegi rääkida, aga mida enam ta keelas, seda rohkem uudis levis.
Jesus insisted on their not telling anyone; but the more he insisted, the more perseveringly they made it known,
37 Rahvas oli äärmiselt hämmastunud ja ütles: „Kõik, mida ta teeb, on imestusväärne. Ta paneb isegi kurdid kuulma ja tummad rääkima.“
and a profound impression was made on the people. “He has done everything well!” they exclaimed. “He makes even the deaf hear and the dumb speak!”
