Marko 7
1 Gbe ɖeka la, Farisitɔwo kple Agbalẽfiala aɖewo tso Yerusalem va Yesu gbɔ.
And there gathered about him Pharisees and Scribes, who had come from Jerusalem.
2 Ame siawo de dzesii be Yesu ƒe nusrɔ̃la aɖewo meklɔa asi le Yudatɔwo ƒe kɔnu nu hafi ɖua nu o.
And they saw some of his disciples eating bread, with their hands unwashed; and they censured it.
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 all the Jews and the Pharisees, unless they carefully wash their hands do not eat; because they hold 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 coming from the market-place, except they baptize, they do not eat. And there are many other things which they have received to observe, such as the baptisms of cups, and of pots, and of brazen vessels, and of 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.”
And the Scribes and Pharisees asked him: Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the Elders, but eat bread with their hands unwashed?
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 the prophet prophecy concerning you, ye hypocrites; as it is written: This people honoreth me with its lips, but their heart is very far from me.
7 Woƒe subɔsubɔ nye dzodzro, elabena woƒe nufiafiawo nye amewo ƒe sededewo ko.’
And in vain do they give me reverence, while teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.
8 Elabena miegbe nu le Mawu ƒe ɖoɖo vavãwo gbɔ hewɔa mia ŋutɔwo ƒe kɔnyinyiwo dzi.
For ye have forsaken the commandment of God, and hold fast the tradition of men, the baptisms of cups, and of pots, and many things like these.
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 also to them: Full well do ye spurn the precept of God, that ye 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 thy father and thy mother; and whoever shall revile his father or his mother, shall 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 to his mother, Be it my oblation, whatever thou mayest gain from me:
12 Mieɖea mɔ nɛ be wòawɔ nu si dze be wòawɔ la na fofoa alo dadaa o.
then ye suffer him not to do any thing 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.”
And ye reject the word of God, on account of the tradition which ye hand down. And many things like these, 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 Jesus called all the multitude, and said to them: Hear, all ye; 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 without a man which, by entering him, can pollute him. But that which cometh out of him, that it is that polluteth a man.
16 Ame si to senu li na la nesee.]”
Whoever hath ears to hear, let him hear.
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 Jesus had entered the house, apart from the multitude, his disciples asked him about this similitude.
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 said to them: Are ye likewise so undiscerning? Do ye not know, that whatever 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.)
For it doth not enter into his heart, but into his belly, and is thrown into the digestive process, which carries off all that is eaten.
20 Egagblɔ be, “Nya vlo doa go tso egblɔla ƒe dzi me, eye wòƒoa ɖi ame,
But that which proceedeth from 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, from the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adultery, whoredom,
22 ŋubiabiã, ŋutasesẽ, amebeble, makɔmakɔnyenye, ŋuʋaʋã, ameŋugbegblẽ, dada kple movinuwɔna bubuwo.
theft, murder, avarice, malice, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, reviling, haughtiness, folly.
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.
Thence Jesus arose, and went to the border of Tyre and Sidon. And he entered a house, and wished no man to know him; but he could not be concealed.
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
For immediately a woman, whose daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him; and she came, and fell before 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 Gentile from Phenicia of Syria), and besought him, that he would expel 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.”
Jesus said to her: Permit the children first to be satisfied; for it is not becoming, to take the children's bread and cast it to 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.”
And she replied, and said to him: Yes, my Lord: and yet 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.”
Jesus said to her: Go thou; because of this speech, the demon hath departed from 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 she went to her house, and found her daughter lying on a bed, and the demon gone from her.
31 Azɔ Yesu tso Tiro yi Sidon to Dekapoli alo Du Ewoawo me gatrɔ yi Galilea ƒua nu.
Again Jesus departed from the border of Tyre and Sidon, and came to the sea of Galilee, to the border of Decapolis.
32 Wokplɔ tokunɔ aɖe si menya nuƒoƒo nyuie o la vɛ nɛ, eye amewo ɖe kuku nɛ be wòayɔ dɔe.
And they brought to him a deaf and stammering man, and besought him 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.
And he led him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and spit, and touched his tongue,
34 Ewu mo dzi kpɔ dziƒo, eye wògbɔ fũu heɖe gbe be, “Hefata!” (si gɔmee nye “Ʋu!”).
and looked towards heaven, and sighed, and said to him: Be opened.
35 Enumake ame la ƒe towo ʋu, eye wòde asi nusese kple nuƒoƒo me nyuie.
And immediately his ears were opened, and the bond of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plainly.
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 man of it: and the more he charged them, the more 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!”
And they admired exceedingly, and said: He doeth every thing excellently: he maketh the deaf to hear, and the speechless to talk.
