Mak 7
1 Mgbe ndị Farisii na ụfọdụ ndị ozizi iwu sitere Jerusalem bịa gbara ya gburugburu,
THEN came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem.
2 ha hụrụ na ụfọdụ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya ji aka na-adịghị ọcha, ya bụ aka a na-akwọghị akwọ, na-eri nri.
And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault.
3 Ndị Farisii na ndị Juu niile adịghị eri nri ma ọ bụrụ na ha akwọghị aka, nʼihi na ha na-ejigidesi aka ike nʼozizi na omenaala nke ndị okenye.
For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.
4 Mgbe ọbụla ha si nʼahịa lọta, ha adịghị eri nri ma ọ bụghị ma ha sachara onwe ha. Ha na-edebekwa ọtụtụ omenaala ndị ọzọ dị ka ịsacha iko, na ite mmiri na ketụlụ.
And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables.
5 Ya mere ndị Farisii na ndị ozizi iwu jụrụ ya sị, “Gịnị mere ndị na-eso ụzọ gị adịghị ebi nʼusoro omenaala ndị okenye. Karịa iji aka na-adịghị ọcha rie nri ha?”
Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?
6 Ọ sịrị ha, “Amụma ahụ Aịzaya buru banyere unu ndị ihu abụọ bụ eziokwu; dị ka e dere ya sị, “‘Ndị a ji egbugbere ọnụ ha na-asọpụrụ m, ma obi ha dị anya nʼebe m nọ.
He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
7 Ofufe ha na-efe m bụ ihe efu, ozizi ha bụkwa ihe mmadụ nyere nʼiwu.’
Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
8 Unu atụfuola iwu Chineke ma jidesiekwa aka ike nʼomenaala nke mmadụ.”
For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
9 Ma ọ gwakwara ha sị, “Unu nwere ụzọ dị mma nʼanya unu nke unu ji wezuga iwu Chineke ma were omenaala unu dochie nʼọnọdụ ya.
And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.
10 Nʼihi na Mosis sịrị, ‘Sọpụrụ nne gị na nna gị,’na, ‘onye ọbụla kwujọrọ nne maọbụ nna ya ka e gbuo ya.’
For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:
11 Ma unu na-asị, na ọ bụrụ na mmadụ asị nne ya maọbụ nna ya, ‘Ihe ọbụla bụ nke ị gara erite nʼaka m bụ kọban,’ (nke pụtara onyinye dịrị Chineke).
But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.
12 Nʼụzọ dị otu a, unu na-akwagide ndị mmadụ ka ha hapụ inyere nne na nna ha aka.
And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;
13 Nʼụzọ dị otu a, unu na-eme okwu Chineke ka ọ bụrụ ihe efu, site nʼomenaala unu nke unu nyefere nʼaka ndị ọzọ. Ọ dịkwa ọtụtụ ihe ndị ọzọ dị ka nke a unu na-eme.”
Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
14 Ọzọkwa, ọ kpọrọ igwe mmadụ ahụ sị ha, “Geenụ m ntị onye ọbụla, ma ghọtakwanụ nke a.
And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:
15 Ọ dịghị ihe ọbụla banyere nʼime mmadụ pụrụ imerụ mmadụ, kama ihe na-emerụ mmadụ bụ ihe ahụ na-esite nʼime ya na-apụta.”
There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.
16 Onye ọbụla nwere ntị ịnụ ihe, ya nụrụ.
If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
17 Mgbe ọ hapụrụ igwe ndị mmadụ ahụ banye nʼime ụlọ, ndị na-eso ụzọ ya jụrụ ya maka ilu a.
And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.
18 Ọ sịrị ha, “Unu ọ ka dị ka ndị na-enweghị nghọta? Ọ bụ unu aghọtaghị na ihe ọbụla banyere nʼime mmadụ apụghị imerụ ya.
And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him;
19 Nʼihi na ihe dị otu a anaghị abanye nʼobi ha, kama ọ na-abanye nʼime afọ ha, si nʼebe ahụ a nyụpụ ya nʼụlọ nsị.” (Site nʼikwu otu a, o mere ka ihe oriri niile dị ọcha.)
Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?
20 Ọ sịkwara, “Ọ bụ ihe sitere nʼime mmadụ pụta na-emerụ ya.
And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.
21 Nʼihi na ọ bụ nʼime obi mmadụ ka echiche ọjọọ niile si apụta, ya na ịkwa iko niile dị iche iche, izu ohi, igbu mmadụ,
For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 ịkwa iko nke ndị nwere di na nwunye, ọchịchọ ịdọtara onwe gị ihe ndị ọzọ nwere, ekworo, aghụghọ niile, adịghị ọcha niile, inwe anya ụfụ nʼebe ndị ọzọ nọ, nkwulu niile, nganga na enweghị uche ọbụla.
Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
23 Ihe ọjọọ ndị a niile na-esite nʼime mmadụ a pụta. Ha bụkwa ihe na-emerụ mmadụ.”
All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
24 Ọ hapụrụ ebe ahụ gaa nʼakụkụ obodo Taịa. Nʼebe ahụ ọ banyere nʼime otu ụlọ. Ma o nwekwaghị ike izo onwe ya, nʼagbanyeghị na ọ chọghị ka a mata na ọ nọ ebe ahụ.
And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know it: but he could not be hid.
25 Ngwangwa, otu nwanyị nwere otu nwa nwanyị ntakịrị nke mmụọ na-adịghị ọcha bi nʼime ya nụrụ maka ya, ọ bịara daa nʼụkwụ ya.
For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:
26 Nwanyị a bụ onye Griik a mụrụ nʼakụkụ Sairo-Fonisia. Ọ rịọrọ ya ka ọ chụpụrụ ya mmụọ ọjọọ ahụ bi nʼime nwa ya nwanyị.
The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.
27 Ọ sịrị ya, “Hapụ ka ụmụntakịrị buru ụzọ rie ihe, nʼihi na o zighị ezi na a ga-ewere nri ụmụntakịrị tụpụrụ nkịta.”
But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it unto the dogs.
28 Ma ọ zaghachiri ya sị, “Onyenwe m, ma ụmụ nkịta na-erikwa iberibe nri ụmụntakịrị si na tebul tụpụ nʼala.”
And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs.
29 Mgbe ahụ, ọ sịrị ya, “Nwanyị, ị zara nke ọma, nʼihi ọsịsa gị, laa, mmụọ ọjọọ ahụ ahapụla nwa gị nwanyị ugbu a.”
And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.
30 Ọ laghachiri nʼụlọ ya, hụ nwantakịrị ahụ ka o dina nʼelu ihe ndina, mmụọ ọjọọ ahụ apụọkwala.
And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.
31 Emesịa, ọ hapụrụ akụkụ Taịa gabiga Saịdọn bịaruo nʼosimiri Galili ruo nʼobodo ndị dị na Dekapọlịs.
And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.
32 Ha duteere ya otu nwoke ntị chịrị, nke na-asụkwa oke nsụ. Ha rịọrọ ya ka o bikwasị ya aka.
And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him.
33 O duuru ya pụọ nʼebe igwe mmadụ ahụ nọ, rụnye ya mkpịsịaka nʼime ntị ya abụọ. Mgbe ahụ ọ gbụpụkwara ọnụ mmiri metụkwa ya aka nʼire.
And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;
34 O leliri anya nʼeluigwe sụọ ude sị ya, “Ef fata,” nke pụtara “Meghee!”
And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.
35 Ngwangwa, ntị ya meghere, a tọpụkwara ire ya, ọ malite ikwu okwu nke ọma.
And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.
36 Jisọs nyere ha iwu ka ha ghara ịgwa onye ọbụla, ma mgbe ọ na-eme nke a ha gara nʼihu na-akọsa ya ebe niile.
And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it;
37 Ọ tụrụ ha nʼanya nke ukwuu, ha kwuo sị, “O meela ihe niile nke ọma. Ọ na-eme ka ọ bụladị ndị ntị chiri nụ ihe, ma mee ka ndị ogbi kwuo okwu.”
And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
