Mattiyu 15
1 Sa’an nan waɗansu Farisiyawa da malaman dokoki suka zo wurin Yesu daga Urushalima suka yi tambaya suka ce,
Then [some] Pharisees and men who taught the [Jewish] laws came from Jerusalem [to talk to] Jesus. They said,
2 “Me ya sa almajiranka suke karya al’adun dattawa? Ba sa wanke hannuwansu kafin su ci abinci!”
“(We think it is disgusting that your disciples disobey the traditions of our ancestors!/Why do your disciples disobey [what our ancestors wrote down and] our [elders taught us]?) [RHQ] They do not perform the proper ritual of washing their hands before they eat!”
3 Yesu ya amsa ya ce, “Ku ma me ya sa kuke karya dokar Allah saboda al’adarku?
Jesus answered them, “(What is really disgusting is that you refuse to obey God’s commands [just] so that you can follow what your ancestors taught you!/Why do you refuse to obey what God commanded [people to do, just] so that you can follow your own traditions?) [RHQ]
4 Gama Allah ya ce, ‘Ka girmama mahaifinka da mahaifiyarka, kuma duk wanda ya zagi mahaifinsa ko mahaifiyarsa dole a kashe shi.’
God gave these [two] commands: ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and ‘People who speak evil about their father or mother must be executed.’
5 Amma ku kukan ce, in wani ya ce wa mahaifinsa ko mahaifiyarsa, ‘Duk taimakon da dā ya kamata za ku samu daga gare ni an ba wa Allah,’
But you tell people, ‘You can say to your father or mother, “What I was going to give to you [to help provide for you], [I have now promised] to give [to God].”’
6 ba zai ‘girmama mahaifinsa’ da shi ba. Ta haka kun yi banza da maganar Allah saboda al’adarku.
And if you do that, you think that you do not need to give anything to help your parents. In [that way], [by teaching people] your traditions, you disregard what God commanded.
7 Ku munafukai! Daidai ne Ishaya ya yi annabci a kanku da ya ce,
You only pretend to be good! Isaiah prophesied accurately about you [also when he quoted what God said about your ancestors. God said],
8 “‘Waɗannan mutane da baki kawai suke girmama ni, amma zukatansu suna nesa da ni.
‘These people talk [as if they] honor me [MTY], but they do not think about honoring me at all [MET].
9 A banza suke mini sujada, koyarwarsu, dokoki ne kawai da mutane suke koyarwa.’”
It is useless for them to worship me, because they teach what people thought up [as if I myself had commanded it].’”
10 Sai Yesu ya kira taron wurinsa ya ce, “Ku saurara ku kuma gane.
Then Jesus [again] summoned the crowd to come [nearer] to him. Then he said to them, “Listen to [what I am about to tell you], and [try to] understand it.
11 Abin da yake shiga bakin mutum ba ya ƙazantar da shi, sai dai abin da yake fitowa daga bakinsa, shi ne yake ƙazantar da shi.”
Nothing that a person puts into his mouth [to eat] causes [God to consider] that person to be unacceptable. Instead, it is [the words] that come out of people’s mouths [SYN] that cause [God to reject them].”
12 Sai almajiran suka zo wurinsa suka ce, “Ka san cewa Farisiyawa ba su ji daɗi sa’ad da suka ji wannan ba?”
Later we disciples went to Jesus and said, “Do you know that the Pharisees heard what you said, and as a result they felt offended [RHQ]?”
13 Ya amsa ya ce, “Duk tsiron da Ubana na sama bai shuka ba, za a tumɓuke shi daga saiwoyi.
Then, [to teach us what God would do to the Pharisees], Jesus told [us this parable]: “My Father in heaven [will] get rid of all [those who teach things that are contrary to his truth, just like a farmer] gets rid of plants that he did not plant, by pulling them up along with their roots [MET].
14 Ku ƙyale su, ai, makafin jagorai ne. In makaho ya yi wa makaho jagora, dukansu za su fāɗa a rami.”
Do not pay any attention to [the Pharisees]. They [do not help people who do not know God’s truth] to [understand it, just like] blind guides [do not help] blind [people to perceive where they should go] [MET]. If a blind person [tries to] lead [another] blind person, they will both fall into a big hole [MET]. [Similarly, both the Pharisees and their disciples will end up in hell].” (questioned)
15 Bitrus ya ce, “Ka bayyana mana wannan misali.”
Peter said to Jesus, “Explain to us the parable [about what a person eats].”
16 Yesu ya tambaye su ya ce, “Har yanzu ba ku gane ba ne?
He replied [to them], “(I am disappointed that even you, [who should understand what I teach], still do not understand!/Why is it that even you [who should understand what I teach], still do not understand?) [RHQ]
17 Ba ku gane cewa duk abin da ya shiga baki yakan wuce ciki ne daga nan kuma yă fita daga jiki ba?
(You ought to understand that all [food that people] eat enters their stomachs, and later the refuse passes out of their [bodies]./Cannot you understand that all [food that people] eat enters their stomachs and later the refuse passes out [of their bodies]?) [RHQ] [Because food does not alter what we think and desire, what we eat does not cause God to consider that we are unacceptable to him].
18 Amma abubuwan da suke fitowa ta baki suna fitowa ne daga zuciya, su ne kuma suke ƙazantar da mutum.
[You should know that] what comes out of [people’s] mouths, [meaning everything that they say] [SYN], comes from their inner beings/hearts. Many of the [things that they say] cause [God to consider] them to be unacceptable [to him].
19 Gama daga zuciya ne mugayen tunani, kisankai, zina, fasikanci, sata, shaidar ƙarya, ɓatan suna, suka fitowa.
It is people’s innermost beings that [cause them] to think things that are evil, to murder people, to [commit] adultery, to commit other sexual sins, to steal things, to testify falsely, and to speak evil about [others].
20 Waɗannan su ne suke ƙazantar da mutum; amma cin abinci ba tare da wanke hannuwa ba, ba ya ƙazantar da mutum.”
It is these actions that cause [God to consider] people to be unacceptable [to him]. To eat with unwashed hands does not cause [God to consider] people unacceptable to him.”
21 Barin wurin ke nan, sai Yesu ya janye zuwa yankin Taya da Sidon.
After Jesus [took us and] left [Galilee district], we went into the region [where the cities of] Tyre and Sidon [are located].
22 Wata mutuniyar Kan’ana daga wajajen ta zo wurinsa, tana ihu tana cewa, “Ubangiji, Ɗan Dawuda, ka yi mini jinƙai!’Yata tana shan wahala ƙwarai daga aljanin da yake cikinta.”
A woman [from the group of people called] Canaanites who live in that region came [to the place where Jesus was staying]. She kept shouting [to him], “Lord, you are the descendant of [King] David, [you are the Messiah!] Have pity on me [and my daughter!] She is suffering very much because a demon controls her.”
23 Yesu bai ce mata uffam ba. Saboda haka almajiransa suka zo wurinsa suka roƙe shi suka ce, “Ka kore ta tă tafi, tana ta binmu tana damunmu da ihu.”
But Jesus did not answer her at all. [We] disciples came to him, and [knowing that the woman was not a Jew], we said to him, “Tell her to leave, because she keeps [bothering us] by yelling behind us!”
24 Ya amsa ya ce, “An aiko ni wurin ɓatattun tumakin Isra’ila ne kaɗai.”
But Jesus said [to her], “I have been sent {[God] has sent me} to [help] only the Israelite people [at this time] [SYN]. [They are like] sheep that have gotten lost [MET] [because they do not know the way to heaven].”
25 Sai macen ta zo ta durƙusa a gabansa ta ce, “Ubangiji, ka taimake ni!”
But she came [closer] to Jesus and knelt down in front of him [to worship him]. She pled, “Lord/Sir, help me!”
26 Ya amsa ya ce, “Ba daidai ba ne a ɗauki abincin yara a jefa wa karnukansu.”
Then, [to suggest to her that he needed to help the Jews first and not the non-Jews, whom the Jews called dogs], he told her, “It is not good [for someone] to take food [that has been prepared for] the children and throw it to the [little] dogs.”
27 Ta amsa, ta ce, “I, Ubangiji, amma karnuka ma sukan ci gutsattsarin da sukan fāɗi daga teburin maigidansu.”
[But to show that she believed that non-Jews could also receive help from God], the woman said [to Jesus], “Lord/Sir, what you [say is] correct, but even the [little] dogs eat the crumbs that fall to the floor [when] their masters [sit at] their tables [and eat]!”
28 Sa’an nan Yesu ya amsa ya ce, “Mace, kina da bangaskiya mai yawa! An biya miki bukatarki.”’Yarta kuwa ta warke nan take.
Then Jesus said to her, “O woman, [because] you believe firmly [in me, I] will [heal your daughter] as you desire!” At that moment [the demon left] her daughter, [and she] became well.
29 Yesu ya tashi daga nan ya bi ta gefen Tekun Galili. Sa’an nan ya haura gefen wani dutse ya zauna.
After Jesus, [along with us disciples], departed from that area, we went [back] to Galilee Lake [and walked] along it. Then Jesus climbed the hill [near there] and sat down [to teach the people].
30 Taron mutane mai girma kuwa suka zo wurinsa, suna kawo masa guragu, makafi, shanyayyu, kurame da dai waɗansu da yawa, suka kuwa kwantar da su a gabansa; ya kuma warkar da su.
Crowds kept coming to him for the next two days and brought lame, crippled, and blind people, those who were unable to talk, and many others [who had various sicknesses]. They laid them in front of Jesus [so that he would heal them] [SYN]. And he healed them.
31 Mutanen kuwa suka yi mamaki sa’ad da suka ga kurame suna magana, shanyayyu suna samun lafiya, guragu suna takawa, makafi kuma suna ganin gari. Sai suka yabi Allah na Isra’ila.
The crowd saw [him heal] people who could not talk, crippled people, lame people, and blind people, and they were amazed. They said, “Praise God [who rules over us who live in] Israel!”
32 Yesu ya kira almajiransa wurinsa ya ce, “Ina jin tausayin mutanen nan; gama kwana uku ke nan suke tare da ni ba abin da za su ci. Ba na so in sallame su da yunwa, don kada su kāsa a hanya.”
Then Jesus called us disciples to him and said [to us], “This crowd [of people] has been with me for three days and have nothing [left] to eat. I feel sorry for them. I do not want to send them away [while they are still] hungry, [because if I did that], they might faint on the way [home].”
33 Sai almajiransa suka amsa suka ce, “Ina za mu sami isashen burodi a wannan wurin da babu kowa mu ciyar da irin taron nan?”
We disciples said to him, “In this place where nobody lives, (we cannot possibly obtain enough food to feed such a large crowd!/how can we obtain a large enough amount of food to feed such a large crowd?) [RHQ]”
34 Yesu ya tambaye su, “Burodi guda nawa kuke da shi?” Suka amsa suka ce, “Guda bakwai da’yan ƙananan kifaye.”
Jesus asked us, “How many small loaves do you have?” We said to him, “[We have] seven small loaves and a few [cooked] fish.”
35 Ya sa taron su zazzauna a ƙasa.
He told the people to sit on the ground.
36 Sa’an nan ya ɗauki burodi guda bakwai da kuma kifayen nan, da ya yi godiya, sai ya kakkarya su ya ba wa almajiran, su kuma suka ba wa mutane.
Then he took the seven small loaves and the fish. After he thanked [God for them], he broke them [into pieces], and he kept giving [them] to us. Then we [kept distributing] them to the crowd.
37 Duk kuwa suka ci, suka ƙoshi. Daga baya almajiran suka kwashe ragowar gutsattsarin cike da kwanduna bakwai.
[Because Jesus made the food multiply miraculously], all [those people] ate and had [plenty to] satisfy [them]. There were 4,000 men [who ate], but no [one counted] the women and the children [who also ate]. Then we [disciples] collected the pieces of food that were left over, and we filled seven large baskets [with them].
38 Yawan waɗanda suka ci kuwa, maza dubu huɗu ne, ban da mata da yara.
39 Bayan Yesu ya sallami taron, sai ya shiga jirgin ruwa ya tafi wajajen Magadan.
After Jesus dismissed the crowd, he, [along with us], got in the boat, and we sailed [around the lake] to the region called Magadan.
