Κατα Μαρκον 7
1 Καὶ συνάγονται πρὸς αὐτὸν οἱ Φαρισαῖοι καί τινες τῶν γραμματέων, ἐλθόντες ἀπὸ Ἱεροσολύμων,
And there assembled together unto him the Pharisees and some of the scribes, coming from Jerusalem.
2 καὶ ἰδόντες τινὰς τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ, ὅτι κοιναῖς χερσίν, τοῦτʼ ἔστιν ἀνίπτοις, ἐσθίουσιν τοὺς ἄρτους.
And when they had seen some of his disciples eat bread with common, that is, with unwashed hands, they found fault.
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 eat not without often washing their hands, holding the tradition of the ancients:
4 καὶ ἀπʼ ἀγορᾶς ἐὰν μὴ βαπτίσωνται οὐκ ἐσθίουσιν, καὶ ἄλλα πολλά ἐστιν ἃ παρέλαβον κρατεῖν, βαπτισμοὺς ποτηρίων καὶ ξεστῶν καὶ χαλκίων.)
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 Καὶ ἐπερωτῶσιν αὐτὸν οἱ Φαρισαῖοι καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς, “Διὰ τί οἱ μαθηταί σου οὐ περιπατοῦσιν κατὰ τὴν παράδοσιν τῶν πρεσβυτέρων, ἀλλὰ κοιναῖς χερσὶν ἐσθίουσιν τὸν ἄρτον;”
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 Ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, “Καλῶς ἐπροφήτευσεν Ἠσαΐας περὶ ὑμῶν τῶν ὑποκριτῶν, ὡς γέγραπται, ὅτι ‘Οὗτος ὁ λαὸς τοῖς χείλεσίν με τιμᾷ, ἡ δὲ καρδία αὐτῶν πόρρω ἀπέχει ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ.
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 Μάτην δὲ σέβονταί με, διδάσκοντες διδασκαλίας ἐντάλματα ἀνθρώπων.’
And in vain to they worship me, teaching doctrines and precepts of men.
8 Ἀφέντες τὴν ἐντολὴν τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, κρατεῖτε τὴν παράδοσιν τῶν ἀνθρώπων.”
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 Καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς, “Καλῶς ἀθετεῖτε τὴν ἐντολὴν τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, ἵνα τὴν παράδοσιν ὑμῶν τηρήσητε.
And he said to them: Well do you make void the commandment of God, that you may keep your own tradition.
10 Μωϋσῆς γὰρ εἶπεν, ‘Τίμα τὸν πατέρα σου καὶ τὴν μητέρα σου’, καί, ‘Ὁ κακολογῶν πατέρα ἢ μητέρα θανάτῳ τελευτάτω.’
For Moses said: Honour thy father and thy mother; and He that shall curse father or mother, dying let him die.
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 shall say to his father or mother, Corban, (which is a gift, ) whatsoever is from me, shall profit thee.
12 οὐκέτι ἀφίετε αὐτὸν οὐδὲν ποιῆσαι τῷ πατρὶ ἢ τῇ μητρί,
And further you suffer him not to do any thing for his father or mother,
13 ἀκυροῦντες τὸν λόγον τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ τῇ παραδόσει ὑμῶν ᾗ παρεδώκατε. Καὶ παρόμοια τοιαῦτα πολλὰ ποιεῖτε.”
Making void the word of God by your own tradition, which you have given forth. And many other such like things you do.
14 Καὶ προσκαλεσάμενος πάλιν τὸν ὄχλον, ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς, “Ἀκούετέ μου πάντες καὶ συνίετε:
And calling again the multitude unto him, he said to them: Hear ye me all, and understand.
15 οὐδέν ἐστιν ἔξωθεν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου εἰσπορευόμενον εἰς αὐτὸν, ὃ δύναται αὐτὸν κοινῶσαι ἀλλὰ τὰ ἐκ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐκπορευόμενά, ἐστιν τὰ κοινοῦντα τὸν ἄνθρωπον.”
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.
If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
17 Καὶ ὅτε εἰσῆλθεν εἰς οἶκον ἀπὸ τοῦ ὄχλου, ἐπηρώτων αὐτὸν οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ τὴν παραβολήν.
And when he was come into the house from the multitude, his disciples asked him the parable.
18 Καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς, “Οὕτως καὶ ὑμεῖς ἀσύνετοί ἐστε; Οὐ νοεῖτε ὅτι πᾶν τὸ ἔξωθεν εἰσπορευόμενον εἰς τὸν ἄνθρωπον, οὐ δύναται αὐτὸν κοινῶσαι,
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 ὅτι οὐκ εἰσπορεύεται αὐτοῦ εἰς τὴν καρδίαν, ἀλλʼ εἰς τὴν κοιλίαν, καὶ εἰς τὸν ἀφεδρῶνα ἐκπορεύεται;” (Καθαρίζων πάντα τὰ βρώματα.)
Because it entereth not into his heart, but goeth into the belly, and goeth out into the privy, purging all meats?
20 Ἔλεγεν δὲ, ὅτι “Τὸ ἐκ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐκπορευόμενον, ἐκεῖνο κοινοῖ τὸν ἄνθρωπον.
But he said that the things which come out from a man, they defile a man.
21 Ἔσωθεν γὰρ ἐκ τῆς καρδίας τῶν ἀνθρώπων οἱ διαλογισμοὶ οἱ κακοὶ ἐκπορεύονται, πορνεῖαι, κλοπαί, φόνοι, μοιχεῖαι,
For from within out of the heart of men proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 πλεονεξίαι, πονηρίαι, δόλος, ἀσέλγεια, ὀφθαλμὸς πονηρός, βλασφημία, ὑπερηφανία, ἀφροσύνη.
Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.
23 Πάντα ταῦτα τὰ πονηρὰ ἔσωθεν ἐκπορεύεται καὶ κοινοῖ τὸν ἄνθρωπον.”
All these evil things come from within, and defile a man.
24 Ἐκεῖθεν δὲ ἀναστὰς, ἀπῆλθεν εἰς τὰ ὅρια Τύρου καὶ Σιδῶνος. Καὶ εἰσελθὼν εἰς οἰκίαν, οὐδένα ἤθελεν γνῶναι, καὶ οὐκ ἠδυνάσθη λαθεῖν.
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 Ἀλλʼ εὐθὺς ἀκούσασα γυνὴ περὶ αὐτοῦ, ἧς εἶχεν τὸ θυγάτριον αὐτῆς πνεῦμα ἀκάθαρτον ἐλθοῦσα, προσέπεσεν πρὸς τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ.
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 Ἡ δὲ γυνὴ ἦν Ἑλληνίς, Συροφοινίκισσα τῷ γένει, καὶ ἠρώτα αὐτὸν ἵνα τὸ δαιμόνιον ἐκβάλῃ ἐκ τῆς θυγατρὸς αὐτῆς.
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 Καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτῇ, “Ἄφες πρῶτον χορτασθῆναι τὰ τέκνα, οὐ γάρ ἐστιν καλὸν λαβεῖν τὸν ἄρτον τῶν τέκνων, καὶ τοῖς κυναρίοις βαλεῖν.”
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 Ἡ δὲ ἀπεκρίθη καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ, “Ναί, ˚Κύριε, καὶ τὰ κυνάρια ὑποκάτω τῆς τραπέζης ἐσθίουσιν ἀπὸ τῶν ψιχίων τῶν παιδίων.”
But she answered and said to him: Yea, Lord; for the whelps also eat under the table of the crumbs of the children.
29 Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ, “Διὰ τοῦτον τὸν λόγον ὕπαγε, ἐξελήλυθεν τὸ δαιμόνιον, ἐκ τῆς θυγατρός σου.”
And he said to her: For this saying go thy way, the devil is gone out of thy daughter.
30 Καὶ ἀπελθοῦσα εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτῆς, εὗρεν τὸ παιδίον βεβλημένον ἐπὶ τὴν κλίνην, καὶ τὸ δαιμόνιον ἐξεληλυθός.
And when she was come into her house, she found the girl lying upon the bed, and that the devil was gone out.
31 Καὶ πάλιν ἐξελθὼν ἐκ τῶν ὁρίων Τύρου, ἦλθεν διὰ Σιδῶνος εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν τῆς Γαλιλαίας, ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ὁρίων Δεκαπόλεως.
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 Καὶ φέρουσιν αὐτῷ κωφὸν καὶ μογιλάλον, καὶ παρακαλοῦσιν αὐτὸν ἵνα ἐπιθῇ αὐτῷ τὴν χεῖρα.
And they bring to him one deaf and dumb; and they besought him that he would lay his hand upon him.
33 Καὶ ἀπολαβόμενος αὐτὸν ἀπὸ τοῦ ὄχλου κατʼ ἰδίαν, ἔβαλεν τοὺς δακτύλους αὐτοῦ εἰς τὰ ὦτα αὐτοῦ, καὶ πτύσας, ἥψατο τῆς γλώσσης αὐτοῦ,
And taking him from the multitude apart, he put his fingers into his ears, and spitting, he touched his tongue:
34 καὶ ἀναβλέψας εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν ἐστέναξεν, καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ, “Ἐφφαθά”, ὅ ἐστιν, “Διανοίχθητι”.
And looking up to heaven, he groaned, and said to him: Ephpheta, which is, Be thou opened.
35 Καὶ ἠνοίγησαν αὐτοῦ αἱ ἀκοαί, καὶ ἐλύθη ὁ δεσμὸς τῆς γλώσσης αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐλάλει ὀρθῶς.
And immediately his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke right.
36 Καὶ διεστείλατο αὐτοῖς ἵνα μηδενὶ λέγωσιν. Ὅσον δὲ αὐτοῖς διεστέλλετο, αὐτοὶ μᾶλλον περισσότερον ἐκήρυσσον.
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 Καὶ ὑπερπερισσῶς ἐξεπλήσσοντο λέγοντες, “Καλῶς πάντα πεποίηκεν, καὶ τοὺς κωφοὺς ποιεῖ ἀκούειν, καὶ ἀλάλους λαλεῖν.”
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.
