< Markus 7 >

1 Farisiyawa da waɗansu malaman dokoki waɗanda suka zo daga Urushalima, suka taru kewaye da Yesu.
[One day some] Pharisees and some men who teach the [Jewish] laws gathered around Jesus. They had come from Jerusalem [to investigate him].
2 Sai suka ga waɗansu daga cikin almajiransa suna cin abinci da hannuwa marasa tsabta, wato, da ba a wanke ba.
The Pharisees and all of the [other] Jews [strictly] observe the traditions that their ancestors [taught. For example, they refuse to] eat until they first wash their hands [with a special ritual], especially after they [return] from [buying things in] the marketplace. [They think that God will be angry with them if they do not do that, because some person or thing unacceptable to God might have touched] ([them/the things they bought]). There are many other such [traditions] that they accept and try to obey. Specifically, they wash [in a special way] their cups, pots, kettles, containers, and beds [in order that using these things will not make God reject them].
3 (Farisiyawa da dukan Yahudawa ba sa cin abinci, sai sun wanke hannuwa sarai tukuna, yadda al’adun dattawa suka ce.
4 Sa’ad da suka dawo daga wurin kasuwanci, dole su wanke hannu kafin su ci abinci. Sukan kuma kiyaye waɗansu al’adu da yawa, kamar wanken kwafuna, tuluna da butoci.)
5 Saboda haka, Farisiyawa da malaman dokoki suka tambayi Yesu, suka ce, “Don me almajiranka ba sa bin al’adun dattawa, a maimakon haka suna cin abinci da hannuwa marasa tsabta?”
That day, those Pharisees and men who taught the [Jewish] laws saw that some of his disciples were eating food with hands that they had not washed [using the special ritual]. So they questioned Jesus, saying, “[Your] disciples disobey the traditions of our ancestors! (You should not [let them] eat food if they have not washed their hands [using our special ritual]!/Why do you [let them] eat food if they have not washed their hands [using our special ritual]?) [RHQ]”
6 Ya amsa ya ce, “Daidai ne Ishaya ya yi annabci game da ku munafukai; kamar yadda yake a rubuce cewa, “‘Waɗannan mutane da baki suke girmama ni, amma zukatansu sun yi nesa da ni.
Jesus said to them, “Isaiah [rebuked your ancestors], and his words describe very well you people who only pretend to be good! He wrote these words [that God said]: These people speak [as if they] honor me, but they [SYN] really do not think about honoring me at all.
7 A banza suke mini sujada, koyarwarsu, dokokin mutane ne kawai.’
It is useless for them to worship me, because they teach only what people have commanded [as if I myself had commanded them].
8 Kun yar da umarnan Allah, kuna bin al’adun mutane.”
You, [like your ancestors], refuse [to do] what God has commanded. Instead, you follow only the traditions that (others/your ancestors) have [taught].”
9 Ya kuma ce musu, “Kuna da hanya mai sauƙi na ajiye umarnan Allah a gefe ɗaya, don ku kiyaye al’adunku!
Jesus also said to them, “[You think] [IRO] that you are clever in refusing to do what God commanded just so that you can obey your own traditions!
10 Gama Musa ya ce, ‘Ka girmama mahaifinka da mahaifiyarka,’kuma, ‘Duk wanda ya zagi mahaifinsa ko mahaifiyarsa, dole a kashe shi.’
[For example, our ancestor] Moses [wrote God’s] command, ‘Honor your fathers and your mothers’. He also wrote, ‘[The authorities must] execute a person who speaks evil about his father or mother.’
11 Amma ku, kukan ce, in mutum ya ce wa mahaifinsa, ko mahaifiyarsa, ‘Duk taimakon da ya kamata ku samu daga wurina, Korban ne,’ (wato, abin da aka keɓe wa Allah),
But you [teach people that it is all right that people no longer must help their parents. You teach people that it is all right if people] give their things to God [instead of giving them to their parents]. You allow them to say to their parents, ‘What I was going to give to you [to provide for you, I have now promised to] give to God. So I [cannot any longer help you]!’ As a result, you are [actually telling people] that they no longer have to help their parents!
12 sa’an nan haka ba kwa ƙara barinsa yă yi wa mahaifinsa ko mahaifiyarsa wani abu.
13 Ta haka kuke rushe maganar Allah ta wurin al’adun da kuke miƙa wa’ya’yanku. Haka kuma kuke yin abubuwa da yawa.”
And, by doing that, you disregard what God commanded! You teach your own traditions to others [and tell them strongly that they should obey them] And you do many other things like that.”
14 Sai Yesu ya sāke kiran taron wurinsa ya ce, “Ku saurare ni dukanku, ku kuma fahimci wannan.
Then Jesus again summoned the crowd [to come closer. Then] he said to them [figuratively], “All of you people listen to me! [Try to] understand [DOU] [what I am about to tell you].
15 Ba abin da yake shiga mutum daga waje ba ne yake ƙazantar da shi. Sai dai abin da ya fita daga cikin mutum ne, yake ƙazantar da shi.”
Nothing that people eat causes [God to] consider them to be unacceptable. On the contrary, it is that which comes from people’s (inner beings/hearts) that causes God to reject them.”
17 Bayan ya bar taron, ya shiga gida, sai almajiransa suka tambaye shi ma’anar wannan misali.
After Jesus had left the crowd and then entered a house with the disciples, they asked him about the parable [that he had just spoken].
18 Ya ce, “Ashe, ba ku da saurin ganewa? Ba ku gane cewa ba abin da yake shiga mutum daga waje ba ne yake ƙazantar da shi.
He replied, “([I am disappointed that] you also do not understand [what it means]!/Why can you not understand [what it means]?) [RHQ] (You ought to understand that nothing that [enters us from] outside can cause [God to] consider us unacceptable to him./Can you not understand that nothing that [enters us from] outside of us can cause [God to] consider us unacceptable to him?) [RHQ]
19 Gama ba ya shiga cikin zuciyarsa, sai dai cikin tumbinsa, sa’an nan kuma yă fita daga jikinsa.” (Da faɗin haka, Yesu ya nuna tsabtar kowane irin abinci.)
Instead of entering [and ruining] our minds/souls, it goes into our stomachs, and afterwards the refuse passes out [of our bodies].” By saying this, Jesus was declaring that people [can eat] any food without causing [God] to reject them.
20 Ya ci gaba, “Abin da yake fitowa daga mutum ne yake ƙazantar da shi.
He also said, “It is the [thoughts and actions] that come from within people that cause [God] to consider them unacceptable to him.
21 Gama daga ciki, daga zuciyar mutane, mugayen tunani suke fitowa, fasikanci, sata, kisankai, zina,
Specifically, it is people’s innermost being [that causes them to] think things that are evil; they act immorally, they steal [things], they commit murder.
22 kwaɗayi, ƙeta, ruɗu, ƙazantaccen sha’awa, kishi, ɓata suna, girman kai da kuma wauta.
They [commit] adultery, they are greedy, they [act] maliciously, they deceive [people]. They [act] indecently, they envy [people], they speak evil about others, they are proud, and they [act] foolishly.
23 Duk waɗannan mugayen abubuwa daga cikin suke fitowa, suna kuma ƙazantar da mutum.”
People think [these thoughts] and then they do these evil actions, and that is what causes [God to] consider them unacceptable to him.”
24 Sai Yesu ya bar wurin, ya kuma tafi wajajen Taya. Ya shiga wani gida, bai kuwa so kowa yă sani ba. Duk da haka, bai iya ɓoye kasancewarsa ba.
After Jesus [and his disciples] left [Galilee district], they went to the region around Tyre. While he stayed at a certain house, he desired that no one know [it], but people soon found out [that he was there].
25 Da jin labarinsa, sai wata mace wadda ƙaramar diyarta tana da mugun ruhu, ta zo ta durƙusa a gabansa.
A certain woman, whose daughter had an evil spirit [within her], heard about Jesus. At once she came to him and prostrated herself at his feet.
26 Macen kuwa mutuniyar Hellenawa ce, an haife ta a Funisiya a Suriya. Ta roƙi Yesu yă fitar da aljani da yake jikin diyarta.
This woman [was not a Jew. Her ancestors came] from Greece [country], but she was born in [the region around] Phoenicia [town] in Syria district. She pleaded with Jesus that he expel the evil spirit from her daughter.
27 Yesu ya ce mata, “Da farko, bari’ya’ya su ci su ƙoshi tukuna, gama ba daidai ba ne, a ɗauki burodin yara a jefa wa karnukansu.”
But he [wanted to see how strongly she believed in him. So, suggesting that he should help the Jews first and not the non-Jews whom some Jews called dogs] [MET], [he] spoke to her saying, “First let the children eat all they want, because it is not good for someone to take the food [the mother has prepared] for the children and then throw it to the [little] dogs.”
28 Ta amsa, ta ce, “I, Ubangiji, ko karnuka ma da suke ƙarƙashin tebur, sukan ci burbuɗin da suke fāɗuwa daga abincin yara.”
But [to show that she believed that non-Jews could also receive help from God] [MET], she replied to him, “Sir, [what you say is] correct, but even the [little] dogs, which lie under the table, eat the crumbs that the children [drop].”
29 Sai ya ce mata, “Saboda irin wannan amsa, ki tafi, aljanin ya rabu da diyarki.”
[Jesus] said to her, “Because of what you have said, [you have shown me that you believe in what I can do for you]. So I will help you. Now you may go [home, because I have caused] the evil spirit to leave your daughter.”
30 Ta tafi gida, ta tarar da diyarta kwance a gado, aljanin kuwa ya fita.
The woman returned to her house and saw that her child was lying [quietly] on the bed and that the evil spirit had left.
31 Sai Yesu ya bar wajajen Taya, ya bi ta Sidon har zuwa Tekun Galili da kuma cikin yankin Dekafolis.
Jesus [and his disciples] left the region around Tyre [city] and went [north] through Sidon [city], then [toward the east] through the district of the Ten Towns, and then [south] to [the towns near] Lake Galilee.
32 A can ne waɗansu mutane suka kawo masa wani kurma, wanda da ƙyar yake magana. Sai suka roƙe shi yă ɗibiya hannunsa a kan mutumin.
[There], people brought to him a man who was deaf and who could hardly talk. They begged [Jesus] to lay his hands on him [in order to heal him].
33 Bayan da ya jawo shi gefe, sai Yesu ya sa yatsotsinsa a kunnuwan mutumin, ya tofa miyau ya kuma taɓa harshen mutumin.
[So Jesus] took him away from the crowd [in order that the two of them could be] alone. Then he put [one of] his fingers into [each of] the man’s ears. After he spat [on his fingers], he touched the man’s tongue [with his fingers].
34 Ya ɗaga kai sama, ya ja numfashi mai zurfi, sa’an nan ya ce masa, “Effata!” (Wato, “Buɗe!”).
Then he looked up toward heaven, he sighed [because he was concerned for the man], and then [in his own language] he said to the man’s [ears], “Ephphatha”, which means, “Be opened {Open up}!”.
35 Bayan ya faɗa haka, sai kunnuwan mutumin suka buɗe, harshensa kuma ya kunce, sai ya fara magana sarai.
At once the man could hear plainly [MTY]. He also began to speak clearly because [what was causing him to be unable to speak] was healed {Jesus healed [what was causing him to be unable to speak]}.
36 Yesu ya umarce su, kada su gaya wa kowa. Amma ƙara yawan kwaɓarsu ƙara yawan yaɗa labarin suke ta yi.
Jesus told ([the people/his friends]) not to tell anyone [what he had done]. But, although he ordered them [and others] repeatedly [not to tell anyone about it], they kept talking about it very much.
37 Mutane suka cika da mamaki, suka ce, “Kai, ya yi kome daidai. Har ma yana sa kurame su ji, bebaye kuma su yi magana.”
[People who heard about it] were utterly amazed and were saying [enthusiastically], “Everything he has done is wonderful! [Besides doing other amazing things], he enables deaf people to hear! And he enables those who cannot speak to speak!”
