Κατα Μαρκον 7
1 Καὶ συνάγονται πρὸς αὐτὸν οἱ Φαρισαῖοι καί τινες τῶν γραμματέων ἐλθόντες ἀπὸ Ἱεροσολύμων.
Then the Pharisees, with certain Scribes who had come from Jerusalem, came to Him in a body.
2 καὶ ἰδόντες τινὰς τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ (ὅτι *no*) κοιναῖς χερσίν, τοῦτ᾽ ἔστιν ἀνίπτοις, (ἐσθίουσιν *N(k)O*) (τοὺς *no*) ἄρτους (ἐμέμψαντο· *K*)
They had noticed that some of His disciples were eating their food with 'unclean' (that is to say, unwashed) hands.
3 οἱ γὰρ Φαρισαῖοι καὶ πάντες οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι ἐὰν μὴ πυγμῇ νίψωνται τὰς χεῖρας, οὐκ ἐσθίουσιν κρατοῦντες τὴν παράδοσιν τῶν πρεσβυτέρων·
(For the Pharisees and all the Jews--being, as they are, zealous for the traditions of the Elders--never eat without first carefully washing their hands,
4 καὶ ἀπ᾽ ἀγορᾶς (δὲ *o*) (ὅταν ἔλθωσιν *ko*) ἐὰν μὴ (βαπτίσωνται, *NK(o)*) οὐκ ἐσθίουσιν· καὶ ἄλλα πολλά ἐστιν ἃ παρέλαβον κρατεῖν, βαπτισμοὺς ποτηρίων καὶ ξεστῶν καὶ χαλκίων καὶ κλινῶν.
and when they come from market they will not eat without bathing first; and they have a good many other customs which they have received traditionally and cling to, such as the rinsing of cups and pots and of bronze utensils, and the washing of beds.)
5 (Καὶ *N(k)O*) ἐπερωτῶσιν αὐτὸν οἱ Φαρισαῖοι καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς· διὰ τί οὐ περιπατοῦσιν οἱ μαθηταί σου κατὰ τὴν παράδοσιν τῶν πρεσβυτέρων, ἀλλὰ (κοιναῖς *N(K)O*) χερσὶν ἐσθίουσιν τὸν ἄρτον;
So the Pharisees and Scribes put the question to Him: "Why do your disciples transgress the traditions of the Elders, and eat their food with unclean hands?"
6 Ὁ δὲ (ἀποκριθεὶς *k*) εἶπεν αὐτοῖς (ὅτι· *ko*) καλῶς ἐπροφήτευσεν Ἠσαΐας περὶ ὑμῶν τῶν ὑποκριτῶν, ὡς γέγραπται (ὅτι *no*) οὗτος ὁ λαὸς τοῖς χείλεσίν με τιμᾷ, ἡ δὲ καρδία αὐτῶν πόρρω ἀπέχει ἀπ᾽ ἐμοῦ.
"Rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites," He replied; "as it is written, "'This People honour Me with their lips, while their hearts are far away from Me:
7 μάτην δὲ σέβονταί με διδάσκοντες διδασκαλίας, ἐντάλματα ἀνθρώπων.
But idle is their devotion while they lay down precepts which are mere human rules.'
8 Ἀφέντες (γὰρ *k*) τὴν ἐντολὴν τοῦ θεοῦ κρατεῖτε τὴν παράδοσιν τῶν ἀνθρώπων (βαπτισμοὺς ξεστῶν καὶ ποτηρίων καὶ ἄλλα παρόμοια τοιαῦτα πολλὰ ποιεῖτε. *KO*)
"You neglect God's Commandment: you hold fast to men's traditions."
9 καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς· καλῶς ἀθετεῖτε τὴν ἐντολὴν τοῦ θεοῦ ἵνα τὴν παράδοσιν ὑμῶν (στήσητε. *N(k)O*)
"Praiseworthy indeed!" He added, "to set at nought God's Commandment in order to observe your own traditions!
10 Μωϋσῆς γὰρ εἶπεν· τίμα τὸν πατέρα σου καὶ τὴν μητέρα σου, καὶ ὁ κακολογῶν πατέρα ἢ μητέρα θανάτῳ τελευτάτω.
For Moses said, 'Honour thy father and thy mother' and again, 'He who curses father or mother, let him die the death.'
11 ὑμεῖς δὲ λέγετε· ἐὰν εἴπῃ ἄνθρωπος τῷ πατρὶ ἢ τῇ μητρί· κορβᾶν, ὅ ἐστιν δῶρον, ὃ ἐὰν ἐξ ἐμοῦ ὠφεληθῇς,
But you say, 'If a man says to his father or mother, It is a Korban (that is, a thing devoted to God), whatever it is, which otherwise you would have received from me--'
12 (καὶ *ko*) οὐκέτι οὐκέτι ἀφίετε αὐτὸν οὐδὲν ποιῆσαι τῷ πατρὶ (αὐτοῦ *k*) ἢ τῇ μητρί (αὐτοῦ, *k*)
And so you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or mother,
13 ἀκυροῦντες τὸν λόγον τοῦ θεοῦ τῇ παραδόσει ὑμῶν ᾗ παρεδώκατε· καὶ παρόμοια τοιαῦτα πολλὰ ποιεῖτε.
thus nullifying God's precept by your tradition which you have handed down. And many things of that kind you do."
14 Καὶ προσκαλεσάμενος (πάλιν *N(K)O*) τὸν ὄχλον ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς· (ἀκούσατέ *N(k)O*) μου πάντες καὶ (σύνετε. *N(k)O*)
Then Jesus called the people to Him again. "Listen to me, all of you," He said, "and understand.
15 οὐδέν ἐστιν ἔξωθεν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου εἰσπορευόμενον εἰς αὐτὸν ὃ δύναται κοινῶσαι αὐτόν, ἀλλὰ τὰ (ἐκ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου *NO*) ἐκπορευόμενά (ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ *k*) (ἐκεῖνά *ko*) ἐστιν τὰ κοινοῦντα τὸν ἄνθρωπον.
There is nothing outside a man which entering him can make him unclean; but it is the things which come out of a man that make him unclean."
16 (Εἴ τις ἔχει ὦτα ἀκούειν ἀκουέτω. *KO*)
17 καὶ ὅτε εἰσῆλθεν εἰς οἶκον ἀπὸ τοῦ ὄχλου, ἐπηρώτων αὐτὸν οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ (περὶ *k*) (τὴν παραβολήν. *N(k)O*)
After He had left the crowd and gone indoors, His disciples began to ask Him about this figure of speech.
18 καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς· οὕτως καὶ ὑμεῖς ἀσύνετοί ἐστε; οὐ νοεῖτε ὅτι πᾶν τὸ ἔξωθεν εἰσπορευόμενον εἰς τὸν ἄνθρωπον οὐ δύναται αὐτὸν κοινῶσαι;
"Have you also so little understanding?" He replied; "do you not understand that anything whatever that enters a man from outside cannot make him unclean,
19 ὅτι οὐκ εἰσπορεύεται αὐτοῦ εἰς τὴν καρδίαν ἀλλ᾽ εἰς τὴν κοιλίαν καὶ εἰς τὸν ἀφεδρῶνα ἐκπορεύεται (καθαρίζων *N(k)O*) πάντα τὰ βρώματα.
because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and passes away ejected from him?" By these words Jesus pronounced all kinds of food clean.
20 ἔλεγεν δὲ ὅτι τὸ ἐκ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐκπορευόμενον, ἐκεῖνο κοινοῖ τὸν ἄνθρωπον.
"What comes out of a man," He added, "that it is which makes him unclean.
21 ἔσωθεν γὰρ ἐκ τῆς καρδίας τῶν ἀνθρώπων οἱ διαλογισμοὶ οἱ κακοὶ ἐκπορεύονται πορνεῖαι, κλοπαί, φόνοι,
For from within, out of men's hearts, their evil purposes proceed--fornication, theft, murder, adultery,
22 μοιχεῖαι, πλεονεξίαι, πονηρίαι, δόλος, ἀσέλγεια, ὀφθαλμὸς πονηρός, βλασφημία, ὑπερηφανία, ἀφροσύνη·
covetousness, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, reviling, pride, reckless folly:
23 πάντα ταῦτα τὰ πονηρὰ ἔσωθεν ἐκπορεύεται καὶ κοινοῖ τὸν ἄνθρωπον.
all these wicked things come out from within and make a man unclean."
24 (Καὶ *ko*) Ἐκεῖθεν (δὲ *no*) ἀναστὰς ἀπῆλθεν εἰς τὰ (ὅρια *N(K)O*) Τύρου (καὶ Σιδῶνος. *KO*) καὶ εἰσελθὼν εἰς (τὴν *k*) οἰκίαν οὐδένα ἤθελεν γνῶναι καὶ οὐκ ἠδυνήθη λαθεῖν.
Then He rose and left that place and went into the neighbourhood of Tyre and Sidon. Here He entered a house and wished no one to know it, but He could not escape observation.
25 (ἀλλ᾽ εὐθὺς *NO*) ἀκούσασα (γὰρ *k*) γυνὴ περὶ αὐτοῦ ἧς εἶχεν τὸ θυγάτριον αὐτῆς πνεῦμα ἀκάθαρτον, ἐλθοῦσα προσέπεσεν πρὸς τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ·
Forthwith a woman whose little daughter was possessed by a foul spirit heard of Him, and came and flung herself at His feet.
26 ἡ δὲ γυνὴ ἦν Ἑλληνὶς Συροφοινίκισσα τῷ γένει, καὶ ἠρώτα αὐτὸν ἵνα τὸ δαιμόνιον (ἐκβάλῃ *N(k)O*) ἐκ τῆς θυγατρὸς αὐτῆς.
She was a Gentile woman, a Syro-phoenician by nation: and again and again she begged Him to expel the demon from her daughter.
27 (ὁ *k*) (καὶ *N(k)O*) (Ἰησοῦς *k*) (ἔλεγεν *N(k)O*) αὐτῇ· ἄφες πρῶτον χορτασθῆναι τὰ τέκνα· οὐ γάρ ἐστιν καλὸν λαβεῖν τὸν ἄρτον τῶν τέκνων καὶ τοῖς κυναρίοις βαλεῖν.
"Let the children first eat all they want," He said; "it is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."
28 ἡ δὲ ἀπεκρίθη καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ· (ναὶ *KO*) κύριε, καὶ (γὰρ *k*) τὰ κυνάρια ὑποκάτω τῆς τραπέζης (ἐσθίουσιν *N(k)O*) ἀπὸ τῶν ψιχίων τῶν παιδίων.
"True, Sir," she replied, "and yet the dogs under the table eat the children's scraps."
29 Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ· διὰ τοῦτον τὸν λόγον ὕπαγε, ἐξελήλυθεν ἐκ τῆς θυγατρός σου τὸ δαιμόνιον.
"For those words of yours, go home," He replied; "the demon has gone out of your daughter."
30 καὶ ἀπελθοῦσα εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτῆς εὗρεν τὸ (παιδίον *N(K)O*) (βεβλημένον *N(k)O*) ἐπὶ (τὴν κλίνην *N(k)O*) καὶ τὸ δαιμόνιον ἐξεληλυθός.
So she went home, and found the child lying on the bed, and the demon gone.
31 Καὶ πάλιν ἐξελθὼν ἐκ τῶν ὁρίων Τύρου ἦλθεν (διὰ *N(K)O*) Σιδῶνος (εἰς *N(k)O*) τὴν θάλασσαν τῆς Γαλιλαίας ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ὁρίων Δεκαπόλεως.
Returning from the neighbourhood of Tyre, He came by way of Sidon to the Lake of Galilee, passing through the district of the Ten Towns.
32 καὶ φέρουσιν αὐτῷ κωφὸν (καὶ *no*) μογιλάλον καὶ παρακαλοῦσιν αὐτὸν ἵνα ἐπιθῇ αὐτῷ τὴν χεῖρα.
Here they brought to Him a deaf man that stammered, on whom they begged Him to lay His hands.
33 καὶ ἀπολαβόμενος αὐτὸν ἀπὸ τοῦ ὄχλου κατ᾽ ἰδίαν ἔβαλεν τοὺς δακτύλους αὐτοῦ εἰς τὰ ὦτα αὐτοῦ, καὶ πτύσας ἥψατο τῆς γλώσσης αὐτοῦ,
So Jesus taking him aside, apart from the crowd, put His fingers into his ears, and spat, and moistened his tongue;
34 καὶ ἀναβλέψας εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν ἐστέναξεν καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ· εφφαθα, ὅ ἐστιν διανοίχθητι.
and looking up to Heaven He sighed, and said to him, "Ephphatha!" (that is, "Open!")
35 καὶ (εὐθέως *NK*) (ἠνοίγησαν *N(k)O*) αὐτοῦ αἱ ἀκοαί, καὶ ἐλύθη ὁ δεσμὸς τῆς γλώσσης αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐλάλει ὀρθῶς.
And the man's ears were opened, and his tongue became untied, and he began to speak perfectly.
36 καὶ διεστείλατο αὐτοῖς ἵνα μηδενὶ (λέγωσιν· *N(k)O*) ὅσον δὲ (αὐτὸς *k*) αὐτοῖς διεστέλλετο, (αὐτοὶ *no*) μᾶλλον περισσότερον ἐκήρυσσον.
Then Jesus charged them to tell no one; but the more He charged them, all the more did they spread the news far and wide.
37 καὶ ὑπερπερισσῶς ὑπερπερισσῶς ἐξεπλήσσοντο λέγοντες· καλῶς πάντα πεποίηκεν καὶ τοὺς κωφοὺς ποιεῖ ἀκούειν καὶ (τοὺς *NK*) ἀλάλους λαλεῖν.
The amazement was extreme. "He succeeds in everything he attempts," they exclaimed; "he even makes deaf men hear and dumb men speak!"
