Mariko 7
1 Na rĩrĩ, Afarisai na arutani amwe a watho arĩa moimĩte Jerusalemu makĩũngana harĩ Jesũ na
And gathered together unto him are the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, having come from Jerusalem,
2 makĩona arutwo ake amwe makĩrĩa irio na moko maarĩ na thaahu, ũguo nĩ ta kuuga, matethambĩte moko.
and having seen certain of his disciples with defiled hands — that is, unwashed — eating bread, 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, if they do not wash the hands to the wrist, do not eat, holding the tradition of the elders,
4 Rĩrĩa moima ndũnyũ matingĩrĩa matambĩte gwĩthamba. Na nĩ marũmagia irĩra ingĩ, ta gũthambia ikombe, na nyũngũ o na mbirika).
and, [coming] from the market-place, if they do not baptize themselves, they do not eat; and many other things there are that they received to hold, baptisms of cups, and pots, and brazen vessels, and couches.
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?”
Then question him do the Pharisees and the scribes, 'Wherefore do thy disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but with unwashed hands do eat the bread?'
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.
and he answering said to them — 'Well did Isaiah prophesy concerning you, hypocrites, as it hath been written, This people with the lips doth honour Me, and their heart is far from Me;
7 Nao maahooyaga o tũhũ; morutani marĩa marutanaga no mawatho ma andũ.’
and in vain do they worship Me, teaching teachings, commands of men;
8 Mũtiganĩirie maathani ma Ngai, mũkarũmia irĩra cia andũ.”
for, having put away the command of God, ye hold the tradition of men, baptisms of pots and cups; and many other such like things ye do.'
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 ye put away the command of God that your tradition ye may keep;
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 who is speaking evil of father or mother — let him die the death;
11 No inyuĩ muugaga atĩ mũndũ angĩĩra ithe kana nyina atĩrĩ, ‘Kĩrĩa ingĩagũteithia nakĩo nĩ Korubani’ (ũguo nĩ kuuga, nĩ kĩheo kĩamũrĩre Ngai),
and ye say, If a man may say to father or to mother, Korban (that is, a gift), [is] whatever thou mayest be profited out of mine,
12 na mũticookaga kũmwĩtĩkĩria ekĩre ithe kana nyina ũndũ.
and no more do ye suffer him to do anything for his father or for his mother,
13 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũkaagithia kiugo kĩa Ngai kĩene na ũndũ wa kĩrĩra kĩanyu kĩrĩa mũthiiaga mũgĩtiganagĩra. Na nĩmwĩkaga maũndũ maingĩ ta macio.”
setting aside the word of God for your tradition that ye delivered; and many such like things ye do.'
14 O rĩngĩ Jesũ agĩĩta kĩrĩndĩ harĩ we agĩkĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ andũ aya othe, thikĩrĩriai na mũigue.
And having called near all the multitude, he said to them, 'Hearken to me, ye 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 the man entering into him that is able to defile him, but the things coming out from him, those are the things defiling the man.
16 (Aakorwo mũndũ arĩ na matũ ma kũigua, nĩakĩigue).
If any hath 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 entered into a house from the multitude, his disciples were questioning him about the simile,
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 also ye are without understanding! Do ye not perceive that nothing from without entering into the man is able to 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 doth not enter into his heart, but into the belly, and into the drain it doth go out, purifying all the meats.'
20 Agĩthiĩ na mbere na kwaria, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Kĩrĩa kiumaga thĩinĩ wa mũndũ nĩkĩo kĩmũgwatagia thaahu.
And he said — 'That which is coming out from the man, that doth defile the 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, the evil reasonings do come forth, adulteries, whoredoms, murders,
22 na ũkoroku, na rũmena, na maheeni, na ũũra-thoni, na ũiru, na njambanio, na mwĩtĩĩo, o na ũrimũ.
thefts, covetous desires, wickedness, deceit, arrogance, an evil eye, evil speaking, pride, foolishness;
23 Maũru maya mothe moimaga thĩinĩ wa mũndũ na makamũgwatia thaahu.”
all these evils do come forth from within, and they defile the 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 from thence having risen, he went away to the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and having entered into the house, he wished none to know, and he was not able to 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 having heard about him, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having come, fell at his feet, —
26 Mũtumia ũcio aarĩ Mũyunani, waciarĩirwo Foinike ya Suriata. Nake agĩthaitha Jesũ aingate ngoma ĩyo thũku yume thĩinĩ wa kairĩtu gake.
and the woman was a Greek, a Syro-Phenician by nation — and was asking him, that the demon he may cast forth out of her daughter.
27 Nake Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Reke ciana ciambe irĩe ihũũne, nĩgũkorwo ti wega kuoya mĩgate ya ciana na kũmĩikĩria ngui.”
And Jesus said to her, 'Suffer first the children to be filled, for it is not good to take the children's bread, and to cast [it] to the little dogs.'
28 Nake mũtumia ũcio akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Noguo Mwathani, no o na ngui irĩ rungu rwa metha nĩ irĩĩaga rũitĩki rũrĩa rũitagwo nĩ ciana.”
And she answered and saith to him, 'Yes, sir; for the little dogs also under the table do eat of the children's crumbs.'
29 Jesũ agĩcooka akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo wacookia-rĩ, wĩthiĩre; ndaimono nĩyoima thĩinĩ wa mwarĩguo.”
And he said to her, 'Because of this word go; the demon hath gone forth out of thy daughter;'
30 Mũtumia ũcio akĩinũka mũciĩ agĩkora kaana gake gakomete ũrĩrĩ-inĩ na ndaimono ĩrĩkĩtie gũthiĩ.
and having come away to her house, she found the demon gone forth, and the daughter laid upon the couch.
31 Ningĩ Jesũ akiuma kũu gũkuhĩ na Turo agĩtuĩkanĩria Sidoni, agĩikũrũka nginya iria-inĩ rĩa Galili, agĩtoonya bũrũri wa Dekapoli.
And again, having gone forth from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto 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 a deaf, stuttering man, and they call on him that he may put the hand on 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 having taken him away from the multitude by himself, he put his fingers to his ears, and having spit, he touched his tongue,
34 Akĩrora na igũrũ, akĩhũmũka na hinya, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Efatha!” (ũguo nĩ kuuga, “Hingũka!”).
and having looked to the heaven, he sighed, and saith to him, 'Ephphatha,' that is, 'Be thou opened;'
35 Aarĩkia kuuga ũguo matũ ma mũndũ ũcio makĩhingũka na rũrĩmĩ rwake rũkĩregera akĩambĩrĩria kwaria o wega.
and immediately were his ears opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he was speaking plain.
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 may tell no one, but the more he was charging them, the more abundantly they were proclaiming [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 they were being beyond measure astonished, saying, 'Well hath he done all things; both the deaf he doth make to hear, and the dumb to speak.'
