< Mariko 7 >

1 Na rĩrĩ, Afarisai na arutani amwe a watho arĩa moimĩte Jerusalemu makĩũngana harĩ Jesũ na
And there assembled together unto him the Pharisees and some of the scribes, coming from Jerusalem.
2 makĩona arutwo ake amwe makĩrĩa irio na moko maarĩ na thaahu, ũguo nĩ ta kuuga, matethambĩte moko.
And when they had seen some of his disciples eat bread with common, that is, with unwashed hands, they found fault.
3 (Afarisai na Ayahudi othe matirĩĩaga irio matethambĩte moko mao wega kũringana na kĩrĩra gĩa athuuri.
For the Pharisees, and all the Jews eat not without often washing their hands, holding the tradition of the ancients:
4 Rĩrĩa moima ndũnyũ matingĩrĩa matambĩte gwĩthamba. Na nĩ marũmagia irĩra ingĩ, ta gũthambia ikombe, na nyũngũ o na mbirika).
And when they come from the market, unless they be washed, they eat not: and many other things there are that have been delivered to them to observe, the washings of cups and of pots, and of brazen vessels, and of beds.
5 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Afarisai na Arutani a watho makĩũria Jesũ atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmaga arutwo aku mage gũtũũra kũringana na irĩra cia athuuri, na makarĩĩaga irio na moko marĩ na thaahu?”
And the Pharisees and scribes asked him: Why do not thy disciples walk according to the tradition of the ancients, but they eat bread with common hands?
6 Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Isaia aaririe ma rĩrĩa aarathire ũhoro wanyu, inyuĩ hinga ici; o ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ: “‘Andũ aya maaheaga gĩtĩĩo na mĩromo, no ngoro ciao ikoragwo irĩ kũraya na niĩ.
But he answering, said to them: Well did Isaias prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
7 Nao maahooyaga o tũhũ; morutani marĩa marutanaga no mawatho ma andũ.’
And in vain to they worship me, teaching doctrines and precepts of men.
8 Mũtiganĩirie maathani ma Ngai, mũkarũmia irĩra cia andũ.”
For leaving the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men, the washing of pots and of cups: and many other things you do like to these.
9 Agĩcooka akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ nĩmũgĩĩte na njĩra njega ya gũtiganĩria maathani ma Ngai atĩ nĩguo mũrũmie irĩra cianyu ene!
And he said to them: Well do you make void the commandment of God, that you may keep your own tradition.
10 Nĩgũkorwo Musa oigire atĩrĩ, ‘Tĩĩa thoguo na nyũkwa,’ na, ‘Ũrĩa wothe ũkaaruma ithe kana nyina no nginya ooragwo.’
For Moses said: Honour thy father and thy mother; and He that shall curse father or mother, dying let him die.
11 No inyuĩ muugaga atĩ mũndũ angĩĩra ithe kana nyina atĩrĩ, ‘Kĩrĩa ingĩagũteithia nakĩo nĩ Korubani’ (ũguo nĩ kuuga, nĩ kĩheo kĩamũrĩre Ngai),
But you say: If a man shall say to his father or mother, Corban, (which is a gift, ) whatsoever is from me, shall profit thee.
12 na mũticookaga kũmwĩtĩkĩria ekĩre ithe kana nyina ũndũ.
And further you suffer him not to do any thing for his father or mother,
13 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũkaagithia kiugo kĩa Ngai kĩene na ũndũ wa kĩrĩra kĩanyu kĩrĩa mũthiiaga mũgĩtiganagĩra. Na nĩmwĩkaga maũndũ maingĩ ta macio.”
Making void the word of God by your own tradition, which you have given forth. And many other such like things you do.
14 O rĩngĩ Jesũ agĩĩta kĩrĩndĩ harĩ we agĩkĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ andũ aya othe, thikĩrĩriai na mũigue.
And calling again the multitude unto him, he said to them: Hear ye me all, and understand.
15 Gũtirĩ kĩndũ kĩrĩ nja ya mũndũ kĩngĩmũgwatia ‘thaahu’ nĩ ũndũ wa gũtoonya thĩinĩ wake. No rĩrĩ, kĩrĩa kiumaga thĩinĩ wa mũndũ nĩkĩo kĩmũgwatagia ‘thaahu’.”
There is nothing from without a man that entering into him, can defile him. But the things which come from a man, those are they that defile a man.
16 (Aakorwo mũndũ arĩ na matũ ma kũigua, nĩakĩigue).
If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
17 Thuutha wa gũtigana na kĩrĩndĩ na gũtoonya nyũmba, arutwo ake makĩmũũria ũhoro wa ngerekano ĩyo.
And when he was come into the house from the multitude, his disciples asked him the parable.
18 Nake Jesũ akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “O na inyuĩ mũtirĩ mũrataũkĩrwo o na rĩu? Kaĩ mũtooĩ atĩ gũtirĩ kĩndũ gĩtoonyaga thĩinĩ wa mũndũ kuuma na nja kĩngĩmũgwatia thaahu?
And he saith to them: So are you also without knowledge? understand you not that every thing from without, entering into a man cannot defile him:
19 Nĩgũkorwo gĩtitoonyaga ngoro-inĩ yake, no gĩtoonyaga nda yake gĩgacooka gĩkoima mwĩrĩ-inĩ wake.” (Akiuga ũguo-rĩ, Jesũ nĩgũtua aatuaga atĩ irio ciothe itirĩ thaahu).
Because it entereth not into his heart, but goeth into the belly, and goeth out into the privy, purging all meats?
20 Agĩthiĩ na mbere na kwaria, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Kĩrĩa kiumaga thĩinĩ wa mũndũ nĩkĩo kĩmũgwatagia thaahu.
But he said that the things which come out from a man, they defile a man.
21 Nĩgũkorwo ngoro-inĩ cia andũ nĩkuo kuumaga meciiria mooru, ũhũũri maraya, na ũici, na ũragani, na ũtharia,
For from within out of the heart of men proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 na ũkoroku, na rũmena, na maheeni, na ũũra-thoni, na ũiru, na njambanio, na mwĩtĩĩo, o na ũrimũ.
Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.
23 Maũru maya mothe moimaga thĩinĩ wa mũndũ na makamũgwatia thaahu.”
All these evil things come from within, and defile a man.
24 Nake Jesũ akiuma kũu agĩthiĩ gũkuhĩ na Turo. Agĩtoonya nyũmba ĩmwe na ndeendaga mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ amenye atĩ arĩ kũu; no ndangĩahotire kwĩhitha.
And rising from thence he went into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon: and entering into a house, he would that no man should know it, and he could not be hid.
25 Na rĩrĩ, mũtumia warĩ na kairĩtu kaarĩ na ngoma thũku rĩrĩa aiguire ũhoro wake, agĩũka akĩĩgũithia thĩ magũrũ-inĩ make.
For a woman as soon as she heard of him, whose daughter had an unclean spirit, came in and fell down at his feet.
26 Mũtumia ũcio aarĩ Mũyunani, waciarĩirwo Foinike ya Suriata. Nake agĩthaitha Jesũ aingate ngoma ĩyo thũku yume thĩinĩ wa kairĩtu gake.
For the woman was a Gentile, a Syrophenician born. And she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.
27 Nake Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Reke ciana ciambe irĩe ihũũne, nĩgũkorwo ti wega kuoya mĩgate ya ciana na kũmĩikĩria ngui.”
Who said to her: Suffer first the children to be filled: for it is not good to take the bread of the children, and cast it to the dogs.
28 Nake mũtumia ũcio akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Noguo Mwathani, no o na ngui irĩ rungu rwa metha nĩ irĩĩaga rũitĩki rũrĩa rũitagwo nĩ ciana.”
But she answered and said to him: Yea, Lord; for the whelps also eat under the table of the crumbs of the children.
29 Jesũ agĩcooka akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo wacookia-rĩ, wĩthiĩre; ndaimono nĩyoima thĩinĩ wa mwarĩguo.”
And he said to her: For this saying go thy way, the devil is gone out of thy daughter.
30 Mũtumia ũcio akĩinũka mũciĩ agĩkora kaana gake gakomete ũrĩrĩ-inĩ na ndaimono ĩrĩkĩtie gũthiĩ.
And when she was come into her house, she found the girl lying upon the bed, and that the devil was gone out.
31 Ningĩ Jesũ akiuma kũu gũkuhĩ na Turo agĩtuĩkanĩria Sidoni, agĩikũrũka nginya iria-inĩ rĩa Galili, agĩtoonya bũrũri wa Dekapoli.
And again going out of the coasts of Tyre, he came by Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.
32 Arĩ kũu andũ amwe makĩmũrehere mũndũ ũtaiguaga na ũtaaragia, makĩmũthaitha amũigĩrĩre guoko.
And they bring to him one deaf and dumb; and they besought him that he would lay his hand upon him.
33 Na thuutha wa kũmũtwara handũ keheri-inĩ, haraaya na kĩrĩndĩ, Jesũ agĩtoonyia ciara ciake matũ ma mũndũ ũcio. Agĩcooka agĩtua mata na akĩhutia rũrĩmĩ rwa mũndũ ũcio namo.
And taking him from the multitude apart, he put his fingers into his ears, and spitting, he touched his tongue:
34 Akĩrora na igũrũ, akĩhũmũka na hinya, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Efatha!” (ũguo nĩ kuuga, “Hingũka!”).
And looking up to heaven, he groaned, and said to him: Ephpheta, which is, Be thou opened.
35 Aarĩkia kuuga ũguo matũ ma mũndũ ũcio makĩhingũka na rũrĩmĩ rwake rũkĩregera akĩambĩrĩria kwaria o wega.
And immediately his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke right.
36 Nake Jesũ akĩmaatha matikeere mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ. No ũrĩa akĩragĩrĩria kũmakaania, noguo makĩragĩrĩria kwaria mũno ũhoro ũcio.
And he charged them that they should tell no man. But the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal did they publish it.
37 Nao andũ makĩgega mũno makĩria, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩekĩte maũndũ mothe wega. O na agatũmaga andũ arĩa mataiguaga maigue na arĩa mataaragia maarie.”
And so much the more did they wonder, saying: He hath done all things well; he hath made both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
