Mak 7
1 Mgbe ndị Farisii na ụfọdụ ndị ozizi iwu sitere Jerusalem bịa gbara ya gburugburu,
And gathered together to Him are the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, having come 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 having seen certain of His disciples with defiled hands—that is, unwashed—eating bread, 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, if they do not wash the hands to the wrist, do not eat, 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 [coming] from the marketplace, if they do not immerse themselves, they do not eat; and many other things there are that they received to hold, immersions of cups, and pots, and bronze vessels, and couches.
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 the scribes question Him, “Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat the bread with unwashed 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.
And He answering said to them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy concerning you, hypocrites, as it has been written: This people honors Me with the lips, and their heart is far from Me;
7 Ofufe ha na-efe m bụ ihe efu, ozizi ha bụkwa ihe mmadụ nyere nʼiwu.’
and in vain they worship Me, teaching teachings, commands of men;
8 Unu atụfuola iwu Chineke ma jidesiekwa aka ike nʼomenaala nke mmadụ.”
for having put away the command of God, you hold the tradition of men, immersions of pots and cups; and many other such like things you 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 to them, “Well do you put away the command of God that you may keep your 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, Honor your father and your mother; and, He who is speaking evil of 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).
and you say, If a man may say to father or to mother, Korban (that is, a gift), [is] whatever you may be profited out of mine,
12 Nʼụzọ dị otu a, unu na-akwagide ndị mmadụ ka ha hapụ inyere nne na nna ha aka.
and you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or for 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.”
setting aside the word of God for your tradition that you delivered; and many such like things you do.”
14 Ọzọkwa, ọ kpọrọ igwe mmadụ ahụ sị ha, “Geenụ m ntị onye ọbụla, ma ghọtakwanụ nke a.
And having called near all the multitude, He said to them, “Listen to Me, you all, 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 outside the man entering into him that is able to defile him, but the things coming out from him, those are the things defiling the man.
16 Onye ọbụla nwere ntị ịnụ ihe, ya nụrụ.
[[If any has 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 entered into a house from the multitude, His disciples were questioning Him about the allegory,
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 says to them, “So also you are without understanding! Do you not perceive that nothing from outside entering into the man is able to 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 does not enter into his heart, but into the belly, and into the drain it goes out, purifying all the meats.”
20 Ọ sịkwara, “Ọ bụ ihe sitere nʼime mmadụ pụta na-emerụ ya.
And He said, “That which is coming out from the man, that defiles 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, the evil reasonings come forth, adulteries, whoredoms, 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, covetous desires, wickedness, deceit, arrogance, an evil eye, slander, pride, foolishness;
23 Ihe ọjọọ ndị a niile na-esite nʼime mmadụ a pụta. Ha bụkwa ihe na-emerụ mmadụ.”
all these evils come forth from within, and they 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 there having risen, He went away to the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and having entered into the house, He wished none to know, and He was not able to 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 woman having heard about Him, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having come, 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.
and the woman was a Greek, a Syro-Phoenician by nation—and was asking Him that He may cast forth the demon 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.”
And Jesus said to her, “First permit the children to be filled, for it is not good to take the children’s bread, and to cast [it] to the little 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 says to Him, “Yes, Lord; for the little dogs under the table also 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 to her, “Because of this word, go; the demon has gone forth out of your daughter”;
30 Ọ laghachiri nʼụlọ ya, hụ nwantakịrị ahụ ka o dina nʼelu ihe ndina, mmụọ ọjọọ ahụ apụọkwala.
and having come away to her house, she found the demon gone forth, and the daughter laid on the bed.
31 Emesịa, ọ hapụrụ akụkụ Taịa gabiga Saịdọn bịaruo nʼosimiri Galili ruo nʼobodo ndị dị na Dekapọlịs.
And again, having gone forth from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, He came to 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 to Him a deaf, stuttering man, and they call on Him that He may put the hand on 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 having taken him away from the multitude by Himself, He put His fingers to his ears, and having spit, He touched his tongue,
34 O leliri anya nʼeluigwe sụọ ude sị ya, “Ef fata,” nke pụtara “Meghee!”
and having looked to the sky, He sighed, and says to him, “Ephphatha,” that is, “Be opened”;
35 Ngwangwa, ntị ya meghere, a tọpụkwara ire ya, ọ malite ikwu okwu nke ọma.
and immediately his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he was speaking 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.
He charged them that they may tell no one, but the more He was charging them, the more abundantly they were proclaiming [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 they were being astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well; He makes both the deaf to hear, and the mute to speak.”
