Marko 7
1 Gbe ɖeka la, Farisitɔwo kple Agbalẽfiala aɖewo tso Yerusalem va Yesu gbɔ.
And there come together to him the Pharisees, and some of the scribes, who came from Jerusalem;
2 Ame siawo de dzesii be Yesu ƒe nusrɔ̃la aɖewo meklɔa asi le Yudatɔwo ƒe kɔnu nu hafi ɖua nu o.
and seeing some of his disciples eating bread with defiled, that is, unwashed hands,
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 the Jews, unless they wash their hands often, do not eat, holding fast 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.)
and on coming from the marketplace, unless they bathe, they do not eat; and there are many other things which they have received to hold, the dipping of cups, and pitchers, and brazen vessels; )
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.”
then the Pharisees and scribes ask him, Why do not thy disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with defiled 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.
And he said to them, Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, “This people honoreth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
7 Woƒe subɔsubɔ nye dzodzro, elabena woƒe nufiafiawo nye amewo ƒe sededewo ko.’
But in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.”
8 Elabena miegbe nu le Mawu ƒe ɖoɖo vavãwo gbɔ hewɔa mia ŋutɔwo ƒe kɔnyinyiwo dzi.
Laying aside, the commandment of God, ye hold fast the tradition of men.
9 Ɖe mieɖoe koŋ le nu gbem le Mawu ƒe sewo gbɔ, eye mietu afɔ wo dzi le miawo ŋutɔ ƒe kɔnyinyiwo ta.
And he said to them, Full well do ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep 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 thy father and thy mother;” and, “He that curseth father or mother, let him surely die.”
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 ye say, If a man say to his father or mother, Whatever thou mightst receive in aid from me is Corban, that is, a gift to God, [[he is not bound by the command. Thus]]
12 Mieɖea mɔ nɛ be wòawɔ nu si dze be wòawɔ la na fofoa alo dadaa o.
ye suffer him no longer 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 ye have handed down; and many such things ye do.
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 again calling the multitude to him, he said to them, Hearken to 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. [
Nothing that entereth into a man from without can defile him; but the things that come out of him are what defile a man.
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.
And when he had gone into the house from the crowd, his disciples asked him concerning 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?
And he saith to them, Are ye too so without discernment? Do ye not understand that whatever thing from without entereth into a man, 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 entereth not into his heart, but into the stomach; and goeth out into the drain, which cleanseth all kinds of food.
20 Egagblɔ be, “Nya vlo doa go tso egblɔla ƒe dzi me, eye wòƒoa ɖi ame,
And he said, That which cometh out of a man, that defileth a 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 the heart of men, come forth evil thoughts, fornications,
22 ŋubiabiã, ŋutasesẽ, amebeble, makɔmakɔnyenye, ŋuʋaʋã, ameŋugbegblẽ, dada kple movinuwɔna bubuwo.
thefts, murders, adulteries, covetousness, iniquities, deceit, wantonness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, 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 a 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.
And rising up, he departed thence into the borders of Tyre; and entering into a house, he desired that no one should 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 a woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, immediately hearing of him, came in, 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.
The woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast out the demon from her daughter.
27 Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Ele be ɖeviwo naɖi ƒo gbã; gawu la, menyo be woatsɔ ɖeviwo ƒe nuɖuɖu ana avuwo o.”
And he said to her, Let the children be filled first; for it is not well to take the children's bread and throw it to the little 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, and saith to him, Yea, Lord; even the little dogs under the table eat of 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.”
And he said to her, For this saying go thy way; the demon hath gone out of thy 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 going away to her house, she found the child laid upon the bed, and the demon gone out.
31 Azɔ Yesu tso Tiro yi Sidon to Dekapoli alo Du Ewoawo me gatrɔ yi Galilea ƒua nu.
And again leaving the borders of Tyre, he came through Sidon to the lake of Galilee, through the midst of the borders of Decapolis.
32 Wokplɔ tokunɔ aɖe si menya nuƒoƒo nyuie o la vɛ nɛ, eye amewo ɖe kuku nɛ be wòayɔ dɔe.
And they bring to him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech, and beseech him to lay his hand upon 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.
And taking him aside from the multitude, he put his fingers into his ears, and having spit, touched his tongue;
34 Ewu mo dzi kpɔ dziƒo, eye wògbɔ fũu heɖe gbe be, “Hefata!” (si gɔmee nye “Ʋu!”).
and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith 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 string of his tongue was immediately loosed, and he spoke plain.
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.
And he charged them to tell no one; but the more he charged them, the more did they publish 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!”
And they were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well; he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
