Marko 7
1 Gbe ɖeka la, Farisitɔwo kple Agbalẽfiala aɖewo tso Yerusalem va Yesu gbɔ.
Then the Pharisees, and some of the scribes gathered together to him, having come from Jerusalem.
2 Ame siawo de dzesii be Yesu ƒe nusrɔ̃la aɖewo meklɔa asi le Yudatɔwo ƒe kɔnu nu hafi ɖua nu o.
Now when they saw some of his disciples eating bread with defiled, that is, unwashed, hands, they found fault.
3 (Elabena Yudatɔwo, vevietɔ Farisitɔwo ɖe woklɔa asi kple abɔ va se ɖe abɔkugluinu ke abe ale si wo tɔgbuiwo wɔnɛ hafi ɖua nu ene.
(For the Pharisees, and all Jewish people, do not eat unless they wash their hands and forearms, holding to the Tradition of the Elders.
4 Ne wotso asi me gbɔ la, ele be woawɔ kɔnu sia godoo hafi ade asi nuɖuɖu ŋu. Esia nye se siwo dzi wowɔna pɛpɛpɛ ƒe alafa nanewo la ƒe kpɔɖeŋu ɖeka. Kɔnu bubu si me wogalé ɖe asi lae nye nuɖazewo, ganuwo kple gagbawo kɔklɔ.)
They do not eat when they come from the marketplace unless they wash. And there are many other things which they have received and hold to, the washing of cups and pitchers and copper vessels and dining couches.)
5 Ale Farisitɔwo kple agbalẽfiala siawo va bia Yesu be, “Nu ka ta wò nusrɔ̃lawo megawɔa míaƒe blemakɔnu o ɖo? Womeklɔa asi ɖe kɔnua nu hafi ɖua nu o.”
The Pharisees and the scribes asked him, "Why do your disciples not walk according to the Tradition of the Elders, but eat their bread with unwashed hands?"
6 Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Nyateƒe ŋutɔe Yesaya to esi wògblɔ nya ɖi tso mi alakpatɔ siawo ŋuti; abe ale si woŋlɔe ɖi ene be, “‘Ame siawo le kafuyem kple woƒe nuyiwo, ke woƒe dzi te ɖa xaa tso gbɔnye.
He said to them, "Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, 'This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
7 Woƒe subɔsubɔ nye dzodzro, elabena woƒe nufiafiawo nye amewo ƒe sededewo ko.’
And in vain do they worship me, teaching instructions that are the commandments of humans.'
8 Elabena miegbe nu le Mawu ƒe ɖoɖo vavãwo gbɔ hewɔa mia ŋutɔwo ƒe kɔnyinyiwo dzi.
"For you set aside the commandment of God, and hold tightly to human tradition."
9 Ɖe mieɖoe koŋ le nu gbem le Mawu ƒe sewo gbɔ, eye mietu afɔ wo dzi le miawo ŋutɔ ƒe kɔnyinyiwo ta.
He said to them, "Full well do you reject the commandment of God, that you may establish your tradition.
10 “Le kpɔɖeŋu me, Mose de se si tso Mawu gbɔ la na mi be, ‘Bu fofowò kple dawò.’ Egblɔ kpe ɖe eŋu be, ‘Ame si agblɔ nya vlo ɖe fofoa alo dadaa ŋu la dze na ku,’
For Moses said, 'Honor your father and your mother;' and, 'Anyone who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.'
11 gake miawo la, miegblɔ be ame ate ŋu agblɔ na fofoa alo dadaa si hiã nane la be, nu si wòle be matsɔ na wò la nye kɔban (esi gɔmee nye, metsɔe na Mawu).
But you say, 'If anyone tells his father or mother, "Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban, that is to say, given to God;"'
12 Mieɖea mɔ nɛ be wòawɔ nu si dze be wòawɔ la na fofoa alo dadaa o.
then you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or his mother,
13 Ale miegbe Mawu ƒe nya, eye miewɔna ɖe miaƒe kɔnyinyi, siwo mieɖo anyi la dzi. Miaƒe wɔna geɖewo le alea.”
making void the word of God by your tradition, which you have handed down. You do many things like this."
14 Azɔ Yesu yɔ ameha la be woava ɖo to ye. Egblɔ na wo be, “Mi katã miɖo to nyuie, ne miase nya siawo gɔme.
And he called the crowd to himself again, and said to them, "Hear me, all of you, and understand.
15 Naneke meli si tsoa gota gena ɖe ame me, si ate ŋu aƒo ɖi amea o, ke boŋ nu siwo doa go tso amea me la, woawoe nye nu siwo ƒoa ɖii. [
There is nothing from outside of the person, that going into him can defile him; but the things which proceed out of the person are what defile the person."
16 Ame si to senu li na la nesee.]”
17 Azɔ Yesu ge ɖe aƒe aɖe me be yeadzo le ameha la gbɔ vie. Eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo va biae le afi sia be wòaɖe lo si wòdo la gɔme na yewo.
When he had entered into a house away from the crowd, his disciples asked him about the parable.
18 Yesu bia wo be, “Ekema miawo hã miese nya siawo gɔme oa? Miate ŋu ade dzesii be nu siwo mieɖuna la megblẽa nu le mia ŋu o?
He said to them, "Are you thus without understanding also? Do you not perceive that whatever goes into the person from outside cannot defile him,
19 Ne ame ɖu nu la, meyina eƒe dzi me o, ke boŋ etoa eƒe dɔkaviwo me hezua nugodo.” (Egblɔ nya sia be yeafia be nuɖuɖu ɖe sia ɖe ŋuti kɔ.)
because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, then into the latrine, cleansing all the foods?"
20 Egagblɔ be, “Nya vlo doa go tso egblɔla ƒe dzi me, eye wòƒoa ɖi ame,
He said, "That which proceeds out of the man, that defiles the man.
21 elabena ame ƒe dzi mee susu baɖa doa go tsona. Nu baɖawo abe, fieŋuifieŋui alo matrewɔwɔ, fififi, amewuwu, ahasiwɔwɔ
For from within, out of a person's heart, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual sins, murders, thefts,
22 ŋubiabiã, ŋutasesẽ, amebeble, makɔmakɔnyenye, ŋuʋaʋã, ameŋugbegblẽ, dada kple movinuwɔna bubuwo.
covetings, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness.
23 Nu vɔ̃ɖi siawo katã doa go tso miaƒe dziwo me, eye woawoe nye nu siwo ƒoa ɖi mi ale be miedze be miado ɖe Mawu ŋkume o.”
All these evil things come from within, and defile the man."
24 Yesu dzo le Galilea heyi Tiro kple Sidon nutowo me. Edze agbagba be yeaɣla ye ɖokui ɖe aƒe aɖe me, gake mete ŋui o. Mekpɔ ɖo hafi eƒe vava ɖi hoo abe ale si wònɔna ɖaa ene o.
From there he arose, and went away into the region of Tyre and Sidon. He entered into a house, and did not want anyone to know it, but he could not escape notice.
25 Nyɔnu aɖe si ƒe vi gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ nɔ fu ɖem na la va egbɔ enumake. Nyɔnu sia se Yesu ŋkɔ, eva dze klo ɖe eƒe afɔ nu
But immediately a woman whose young daughter had an unclean spirit heard of him and came and fell at his feet.
26 heɖe kuku nɛ be wòanya gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ la do goe le ye vi la me. Nyɔnu la nye Sirofoiniketɔ.
Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. She begged him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter.
27 Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Ele be ɖeviwo naɖi ƒo gbã; gawu la, menyo be woatsɔ ɖeviwo ƒe nuɖuɖu ana avuwo o.”
But he said to her, "Let the children be filled first, for it is not appropriate to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."
28 Nyɔnu la ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Aƒetɔ, esia nye nyateƒe, gake wotsɔa ɖeviwo ƒe nuɖuɖu wuwlui si susɔ la naa avuvi siwo le kplɔ̃ te.”
But she answered him, "Yes, Sir. Yet even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs."
29 Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Le nya sia ta la, heyi, gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ la do go le viwò nyɔnuvi la me.”
He said to her, "For this saying, go your way. The demon has gone out of your daughter."
30 Esi nyɔnu sia va ɖo aƒe me la, ekpɔ via nyɔnuvi la wòmlɔ anyi ɖe aba dzi kpoo, elabena gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ la do go le eme.
And when she went away to her house, she found the child lying on the bed, the demon having left.
31 Azɔ Yesu tso Tiro yi Sidon to Dekapoli alo Du Ewoawo me gatrɔ yi Galilea ƒua nu.
Again he departed from the borders of Tyre, and came through Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the region of Decapolis.
32 Wokplɔ tokunɔ aɖe si menya nuƒoƒo nyuie o la vɛ nɛ, eye amewo ɖe kuku nɛ be wòayɔ dɔe.
They brought to him one who was deaf and had a speech difficulty, and they begged Jesus to lay his hand on him.
33 Yesu kplɔ tokunɔ la dzoe le ameawo dome yi adzɔge, eye wòƒo eƒe asibidɛwo ɖe eƒe towo me. Azɔ eɖe ta hesi ɖe eƒe aɖe dzi.
He took him aside from the crowd, privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat, and touched his tongue.
34 Ewu mo dzi kpɔ dziƒo, eye wògbɔ fũu heɖe gbe be, “Hefata!” (si gɔmee nye “Ʋu!”).
Looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, "Ephphatha." that is, "Be opened."
35 Enumake ame la ƒe towo ʋu, eye wòde asi nusese kple nuƒoƒo me nyuie.
And his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was released, and he spoke clearly.
36 Yesu de se na ameha la be womegana amewo nanya nu si yewɔ la o. Ke zi ale si wòde se sia na wo la, nenema kee wokakaa nya la.
He commanded them that they should tell no one, but the more he commanded them, so much the more widely they proclaimed it.
37 Elabena nuwɔna la wɔ nuku na wo. Ale amewo nɔ gbɔgblɔm ɖaa be, “Nu sia nu si wòwɔna la nye nukunu. Ewɔnɛ be tokunɔ sea nu, eye aɖetututɔ hã ƒoa nu eme kɔna!”
They were astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has done all things well. He makes even the deaf hear, and the mute speak."
