Marqqossa 7
1 Hessafe guye Parsawetinne Yerusalameppe yida issi issi Xafeteti Yesusa gaxa yuyi adhidi
[One day some] Pharisees and some men who teach the [Jewish] laws gathered around Jesus. They had come from Jerusalem [to investigate him].
2 Yesusa kalizaytappe bagayti mecetonta qita kushera kath mishin be7ida.
The Pharisees and all of the [other] Jews [strictly] observe the traditions that their ancestors [taught. For example, they refuse to] eat until they first wash their hands [with a special ritual], especially after they [return] from [buying things in] the marketplace. [They think that God will be angry with them if they do not do that, because some person or thing unacceptable to God might have touched] ([them/the things they bought]). There are many other such [traditions] that they accept and try to obey. Specifically, they wash [in a special way] their cups, pots, kettles, containers, and beds [in order that using these things will not make God reject them].
3 Parsawetinne kasse cimma Aydude asati kasse dere woga naganas kushe lo7othi mecetonta kath mi eretena.
4 Giya bi simikkokka bolla meceti geyonta dishe kath mi eretena. Hesathokka wancakka, ottokka, sanekka, zin7iza hithekka mecha malata hara wogatakka naagetes.
5 Parsawetinne Xafeti Yesusa “nena kalizayti kasse awata wogamala duss agidi aazas kushe mecetonta kath mizo?” gidi oychidees.
That day, those Pharisees and men who taught the [Jewish] laws saw that some of his disciples were eating food with hands that they had not washed [using the special ritual]. So they questioned Jesus, saying, “[Your] disciples disobey the traditions of our ancestors! (You should not [let them] eat food if they have not washed their hands [using our special ritual]!/Why do you [let them] eat food if they have not washed their hands [using our special ritual]?) [RHQ]”
6 Izikka istas “Isayasay qodheppe qomo bagan haniza inte gish (haysi derey ba metershan tana bonches woznay gidikko tappe hakidees.
Jesus said to them, “Isaiah [rebuked your ancestors], and his words describe very well you people who only pretend to be good! He wrote these words [that God said]: These people speak [as if they] honor me, but they [SYN] really do not think about honoring me at all.
7 Tas mela hada goynytes; issta timirteykka assi wothida woga xala) gidi yotida tuma.” gidees.
It is useless for them to worship me, because they teach only what people have commanded [as if I myself had commanded them].
8 Xoossa woga agidi assi wothida woga nagetees.
You, [like your ancestors], refuse [to do] what God has commanded. Instead, you follow only the traditions that (others/your ancestors) have [taught].”
9 Qassekka “inte wogas giidi Xoossa woga inte agagiza cincatetha ooggey intes dees.
Jesus also said to them, “[You think] [IRO] that you are clever in refusing to do what God commanded just so that you can obey your own traditions!
10 Ays gikko Musey ne ayone ne aawa boncha; ba ayone ba aawa cayizadey mulekka hayqo gides.
[For example, our ancestor] Moses [wrote God’s] command, ‘Honor your fathers and your mothers’. He also wrote, ‘[The authorities must] execute a person who speaks evil about his father or mother.’
11 Shin inte qasse issi uray ba aawa woykko ba ayyo inte tappe demmanas koshiza mado ta Xoossas immadis gikko
But you [teach people that it is all right that people no longer must help their parents. You teach people that it is all right if people] give their things to God [instead of giving them to their parents]. You allow them to say to their parents, ‘What I was going to give to you [to provide for you, I have now promised to] give to God. So I [cannot any longer help you]!’ As a result, you are [actually telling people] that they no longer have to help their parents!
12 inte qasse hayssaddey ba aawaskka ba ayyeys hara aykokka othana mala koyekista.
13 Hessa gish inte woga nagana gidi Xoossa qaala lamista. Hesantakka milatiza darota othista.” gides.
And, by doing that, you disregard what God commanded! You teach your own traditions to others [and tell them strongly that they should obey them] And you do many other things like that.”
14 Qassekka Yesusay asa beekko xeygidi “wurikka ta giza siyitene wozinan wothitte.
Then Jesus again summoned the crowd [to come closer. Then] he said to them [figuratively], “All of you people listen to me! [Try to] understand [DOU] [what I am about to tell you].
15 Kareppe ulo gido gelidi ass tunisiza issi miishika deena. Harappekka asse tunisizay kethawappe gede kare keziza misha.
Nothing that people eat causes [God to] consider them to be unacceptable. On the contrary, it is that which comes from people’s (inner beings/hearts) that causes God to reject them.”
16 Siyiza haythi dizay siyo” gidees.
17 Izi asa karen agidi keth gelin iza kalizayti izi yotida lemusoza birshech Yesusa oychida.
After Jesus had left the crowd and then entered a house with the disciples, they asked him about the parable [that he had just spoken].
18 Izikka ista intesikka yoy gellene? Kareppe gelidi asse tunisiza mishi azikka deena.
He replied, “([I am disappointed that] you also do not understand [what it means]!/Why can you not understand [what it means]?) [RHQ] (You ought to understand that nothing that [enters us from] outside can cause [God to] consider us unacceptable to him./Can you not understand that nothing that [enters us from] outside of us can cause [God to] consider us unacceptable to him?) [RHQ]
19 Kareppe gelizay gede wozinan gidonta; dugge qantha gido geles qasse heppe izade asatethappe gede kare kezes.” Yesusay hessa giday assi miza kathi wurikka gesh gididaysa qoncisanasa.
Instead of entering [and ruining] our minds/souls, it goes into our stomachs, and afterwards the refuse passes out [of our bodies].” By saying this, Jesus was declaring that people [can eat] any food without causing [God] to reject them.
20 Kalethidikka “asappe kezizazi asse tunises.
He also said, “It is the [thoughts and actions] that come from within people that cause [God] to consider them unacceptable to him.
21 Assa wozina gidoppe kezizay iita qofata laymma ammone, kaysotethi, asse wodho laymeteth,
Specifically, it is people’s innermost being [that causes them to] think things that are evil; they act immorally, they steal [things], they commit murder.
22 yiqeteth, itateth, baletho, laymma kasse, qanateteth, asa sunth moro, otorotethinne, azala.
They [commit] adultery, they are greedy, they [act] maliciously, they deceive [people]. They [act] indecently, they envy [people], they speak evil about others, they are proud, and they [act] foolishly.
23 Hayti iitta hanoti wuri asappe kezetesinne asse tunisetes” gides.
People think [these thoughts] and then they do these evil actions, and that is what causes [God to] consider them unacceptable to him.”
24 Heeppe kezidi Xirosa giza dere bidees, hen issade keth gelidi izi hen dizaysa assi erontamala koydees. Gido atin izi hen iza dusay qotistanas danda7etibeyna.
After Jesus [and his disciples] left [Galilee district], they went to the region around Tyre. While he stayed at a certain house, he desired that no one know [it], but people soon found out [that he was there].
25 Herakka issi tuna ayanay oykida qi na dizari aya Yesusay hen diza siyada izakko yada iza too bolla kundadus.
A certain woman, whose daughter had an evil spirit [within her], heard about Jesus. At once she came to him and prostrated herself at his feet.
26 Macashaya Ayhude gidonta Girike qaala hasa7iza macashi shin izi yeleta gadey Sirofinqe getetes. Izakka yesusay izi nayeppe tuna ayna kesana mala wosadus.
This woman [was not a Jew. Her ancestors came] from Greece [country], but she was born in [the region around] Phoenicia [town] in Syria district. She pleaded with Jesus that he expel the evil spirit from her daughter.
27 Izikka zaridi izis “nayta qumma ekki kanas yeganas besonta gish koyro nayti mi kaleto” gides.
But he [wanted to see how strongly she believed in him. So, suggesting that he should help the Jews first and not the non-Jews whom some Jews called dogs] [MET], [he] spoke to her saying, “First let the children eat all they want, because it is not good for someone to take the food [the mother has prepared] for the children and then throw it to the [little] dogs.”
28 Izakka zarada “E Godo kanatikka madda matan de7idi nayta kusheppe gaden wodhidaysa meteskko” gadus.
But [to show that she believed that non-Jews could also receive help from God] [MET], she replied to him, “Sir, [what you say is] correct, but even the [little] dogs, which lie under the table, eat the crumbs that the children [drop].”
29 Izikka “histiko neni hessa gida gish ba daydanthay ne nayeppe kezidees” gidees.
[Jesus] said to her, “Because of what you have said, [you have shown me that you believe in what I can do for you]. So I will help you. Now you may go [home, because I have caused] the evil spirit to leave your daughter.”
30 Iza simadda so bishin naya daydanthay yedin paxada hixan zin7idaro demadus.
The woman returned to her house and saw that her child was lying [quietly] on the bed and that the evil spirit had left.
31 Hesafe Yesusay Xirosa bitappe dendidi Sidona gizasora adhidi Tammu katama gizasora kanthidi gede Galila abbakko gakidees.
Jesus [and his disciples] left the region around Tyre [city] and went [north] through Sidon [city], then [toward the east] through the district of the Ten Towns, and then [south] to [the towns near] Lake Galilee.
32 Assay issi haytha tulene ayfe qoqe assi izakko he ekiyidi Yesusay iza bolla ba kushe wothanan mala wosida.
[There], people brought to him a man who was deaf and who could hardly talk. They begged [Jesus] to lay his hands on him [in order to heal him].
33 Yesusaykka iza asappe shakki ekki bidi ba kushe biradhista adeza haythan gelithidees, qassekka cuchu cutidi addeza inxarsa bochidees.
[So Jesus] took him away from the crowd [in order that the two of them could be] alone. Then he put [one of] his fingers into [each of] the man’s ears. After he spat [on his fingers], he touched the man’s tongue [with his fingers].
34 Pudde salo xelidine tokki shempidi “Efata” gides. Hesikka “Pogetta” gussa.
Then he looked up toward heaven, he sighed [because he was concerned for the man], and then [in his own language] he said to the man’s [ears], “Ephphatha”, which means, “Be opened {Open up}!”.
35 Herakka addeza haythati pogetida, inxarsaykka birshetin geshi hasa7idees.
At once the man could hear plainly [MTY]. He also began to speak clearly because [what was causing him to be unable to speak] was healed {Jesus healed [what was causing him to be unable to speak]}.
36 Yesusay hayssa be7idayti onaskka yotonta mala azaziddes, gido attin asay izi azazizdaysafe bollara kehi gujidi yotida.
Jesus told ([the people/his friends]) not to tell anyone [what he had done]. But, although he ordered them [and others] repeatedly [not to tell anyone about it], they kept talking about it very much.
37 Derezikka woggappe athi malaletidi “Izi othidaysi wuri lo7o; tuleti siyanamala, mumeti hasa7anamala othides” gida.
[People who heard about it] were utterly amazed and were saying [enthusiastically], “Everything he has done is wonderful! [Besides doing other amazing things], he enables deaf people to hear! And he enables those who cannot speak to speak!”
