Marqqossa 7
1 Hessafe guye Parsawetinne Yerusalameppe yida issi issi Xafeteti Yesusa gaxa yuyi adhidi
One day the Pharisees and some of the Teachers of the Law who had come from Jerusalem gathered round Jesus.
2 Yesusa kalizaytappe bagayti mecetonta qita kushera kath mishin be7ida.
They had noticed that some of his disciples ate their food with their hands ‘defiled,’ by which they meant unwashed.
3 Parsawetinne kasse cimma Aydude asati kasse dere woga naganas kushe lo7othi mecetonta kath mi eretena.
(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 Giya bi simikkokka bolla meceti geyonta dishe kath mi eretena. Hesathokka wancakka, ottokka, sanekka, zin7iza hithekka mecha malata hara wogatakka naagetes.
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 Parsawetinne Xafeti Yesusa “nena kalizayti kasse awata wogamala duss agidi aazas kushe mecetonta kath mizo?” gidi oychidees.
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 Izikka istas “Isayasay qodheppe qomo bagan haniza inte gish (haysi derey ba metershan tana bonches woznay gidikko tappe hakidees.
His answer was: “It was well said by Isaiah when he prophesied about you hypocrites in the words — ‘This is a people that honour me with their lips, while their hearts are far removed from me;
7 Tas mela hada goynytes; issta timirteykka assi wothida woga xala) gidi yotida tuma.” gidees.
but vainly do they worship me, For they teach but the precepts of men.’
8 Xoossa woga agidi assi wothida woga nagetees.
You neglect God’s commandments and hold to the traditions of men.
9 Qassekka “inte wogas giidi Xoossa woga inte agagiza cincatetha ooggey intes dees.
Wisely do you set aside God’s commandments,” he exclaimed, “to keep your own traditions!
10 Ays gikko Musey ne ayone ne aawa boncha; ba ayone ba aawa cayizadey mulekka hayqo gides.
For while Moses said ‘Honour thy father and thy mother,’ and ‘Let him who reviles his father or mother suffer death,’
11 Shin inte qasse issi uray ba aawa woykko ba ayyo inte tappe demmanas koshiza mado ta Xoossas immadis gikko
you say ‘If a man says to his father or mother “Whatever of mine might have been of service to you is Korban”’ (which means ‘Given to God’) —
12 inte qasse hayssaddey ba aawaskka ba ayyeys hara aykokka othana mala koyekista.
why, then you do not allow him to do anything further for his father or mother!
13 Hessa gish inte woga nagana gidi Xoossa qaala lamista. Hesantakka milatiza darota othista.” gides.
In this way you nullify the words of God by your traditions, which you hand down; and you do many similar things.”
14 Qassekka Yesusay asa beekko xeygidi “wurikka ta giza siyitene wozinan wothitte.
Then Jesus called the people to him again, and said: “Listen to me, all of you, and mark my words.
15 Kareppe ulo gido gelidi ass tunisiza issi miishika deena. Harappekka asse tunisizay kethawappe gede kare keziza misha.
There is nothing external to a man, which by going into him can ‘defile’ him; but the things that come out from a man are the things that defile him.”
16 Siyiza haythi dizay siyo” gidees.
17 Izi asa karen agidi keth gelin iza kalizayti izi yotida lemusoza birshech Yesusa oychida.
When Jesus went indoors, away from the crowd, his disciples began questioning him about this saying.
18 Izikka ista intesikka yoy gellene? Kareppe gelidi asse tunisiza mishi azikka deena.
“What, do even you understand so little?” exclaimed Jesus. “Do not you see that there is nothing external to a man, which by going into a man, can ‘defile’ him,
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.
because it does not pass into his heart, but into his stomach, and is afterwards got rid of? — in saying this Jesus pronounced all food ‘clean.’
20 Kalethidikka “asappe kezizazi asse tunises.
“It is what comes out from a man,” he added, “that defiles him,
21 Assa wozina gidoppe kezizay iita qofata laymma ammone, kaysotethi, asse wodho laymeteth,
for it is from within, out of the hearts of men, that there come evil thoughts — unchastity, theft, murder, adultery,
22 yiqeteth, itateth, baletho, laymma kasse, qanateteth, asa sunth moro, otorotethinne, azala.
greed, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, haughtiness, folly;
23 Hayti iitta hanoti wuri asappe kezetesinne asse tunisetes” gides.
all these wicked things come from within, and do defile a man.”
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.
On leaving that place, Jesus went to the district of Tyre and Sidon. And he went into a house, and did not wish anyone to know it, but could not escape notice.
25 Herakka issi tuna ayanay oykida qi na dizari aya Yesusay hen diza siyada izakko yada iza too bolla kundadus.
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 Macashaya Ayhude gidonta Girike qaala hasa7iza macashi shin izi yeleta gadey Sirofinqe getetes. Izakka yesusay izi nayeppe tuna ayna kesana mala wosadus.
the woman was a foreigner, a native of Syrian Phoenicia — and she begged him to drive the demon out of her daughter.
27 Izikka zaridi izis “nayta qumma ekki kanas yeganas besonta gish koyro nayti mi kaleto” gides.
“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 Izakka zarada “E Godo kanatikka madda matan de7idi nayta kusheppe gaden wodhidaysa meteskko” gadus.
“Yes, Master,” she replied; “even the dogs under the table do feed on the children’s crumbs.”
29 Izikka “histiko neni hessa gida gish ba daydanthay ne nayeppe kezidees” gidees.
“For saying that,” he answered, “you may go. The demon has gone out of your daughter.”
30 Iza simadda so bishin naya daydanthay yedin paxada hixan zin7idaro demadus.
The woman went home, and found the child lying on her bed, and the demon gone.
31 Hesafe Yesusay Xirosa bitappe dendidi Sidona gizasora adhidi Tammu katama gizasora kanthidi gede Galila abbakko gakidees.
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 Assay issi haytha tulene ayfe qoqe assi izakko he ekiyidi Yesusay iza bolla ba kushe wothanan mala wosida.
Some people brought to him a man who was deaf and almost dumb, and they begged Jesus to place his hand on him.
33 Yesusaykka iza asappe shakki ekki bidi ba kushe biradhista adeza haythan gelithidees, qassekka cuchu cutidi addeza inxarsa bochidees.
Jesus took him aside from the crowd quietly, put his fingers into the man’s ears, and touched his tongue with saliva.
34 Pudde salo xelidine tokki shempidi “Efata” gides. Hesikka “Pogetta” gussa.
Then, looking up to Heaven, he sighed, and said to the man: “Ephphatha!” which means ‘Be opened.’
35 Herakka addeza haythati pogetida, inxarsaykka birshetin geshi hasa7idees.
The man’s ears were opened, the string of his tongue was freed, and he began to talk plainly.
36 Yesusay hayssa be7idayti onaskka yotonta mala azaziddes, gido attin asay izi azazizdaysafe bollara kehi gujidi yotida.
Jesus insisted upon their not telling any one; but the more he insisted, the more perseveringly they made it known,
37 Derezikka woggappe athi malaletidi “Izi othidaysi wuri lo7o; tuleti siyanamala, mumeti hasa7anamala othides” gida.
and a profound impression was made upon the people. “He has done everything well!” they exclaimed. “He makes even the deaf hear and the dumb speak!”
