Mak 7
1 Mgbe ndị Farisii na ụfọdụ ndị ozizi iwu sitere Jerusalem bịa gbara ya gburugburu,
And the Pharisees and certain of the Scribes who have come from Jerusalem gather themselves together unto him;
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, observing certain of his disciples, that, with defiled hands, that is unwashed, they are eating bread, ——
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, unless with care they wash their hands, eat not, holding fast 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 market, unless they sprinkle themselves, they eat not, —and, many other things, there are, which they have accepted to hold fast—immersions of cups and measures and copper vessels——
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?”
and so the Pharisees and the Scribes, question, him—For what cause do thy disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but, with defiled hands, eat bread?
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.
But, he, said unto them—Well, prophesied Isaiah concerning you, ye hypocrites, as it is written—This people, with the lips do honour me, while, their heart, far off, holdeth from me, —
7 Ofufe ha na-efe m bụ ihe efu, ozizi ha bụkwa ihe mmadụ nyere nʼiwu.’
But, in vain, do they pay devotions unto me, teaching for teachings, the commandments of men;
8 Unu atụfuola iwu Chineke ma jidesiekwa aka ike nʼomenaala nke mmadụ.”
Having, dismissed, the commandment, of God, ye, hold fast, the tradition, of men.
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 was saying to them—Well, do ye set aside the commandment of God, that, your own tradition, ye may observe;
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—He that revileth father or mother, let him, surely die, —
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 his mother, Korban! that is, A gift, whatsoever, out of me, thou mightest be profited,
12 Nʼụzọ dị otu a, unu na-akwagide ndị mmadụ ka ha hapụ inyere nne na nna ha aka.
no longer, do ye suffer him to do, aught, 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.”
cancelling the word of God by your tradition which ye have delivered. And, many such similar things, are ye doing!
14 Ọzọkwa, ọ kpọrọ igwe mmadụ ahụ sị ha, “Geenụ m ntị onye ọbụla, ma ghọtakwanụ nke a.
And, again calling near the multitude, he was saying unto them—Hearken to me, 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.”
Nothing, is there, from without the man, entering into him, which can defile him; but, the things which, out of the man, come forth, are the things that defile the man.
16 Onye ọbụla nwere ntị ịnụ ihe, ya nụrụ.
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 multitudes, his disciples began to question him as to 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—Thus, are, ye also, without discernment? Perceive ye not that, nothing, from without, entering into the man, can 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 his stomach, and, into the draught, is passed—purifying all foods?
20 Ọ sịkwara, “Ọ bụ ihe sitere nʼime mmadụ pụta na-emerụ ya.
And he was saying—That which, out of the man, cometh forth, 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, the base designs, come forth, —fornications, thefts,
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.
murders, adulteries, covetousnesses, knaveries, deceit, wantonness, an evil eye, profane speaking, foolishness, —
23 Ihe ọjọọ ndị a niile na-esite nʼime mmadụ a pụta. Ha bụkwa ihe na-emerụ mmadụ.”
all these wicked things, from within, come forth, 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 arising, he departed into the bounds of Tyre [and Zidon]. And, entering into a house, he was wishing, no one, to know it, and yet could not escape notice, —
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.
but, straightway, a woman hearing about him, whose daughter had an impure spirit, she came and fell down 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.
Now, the woman, was a Grecian, a Syrophoenician by race, —and she was requesting him that, the demon, he would cast forth 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 he was saying to her—Suffer, the children, first, to be fed; for it is not seemly to take the bread of the children, and, unto the little dogs, to cast it;
28 Ma ọ zaghachiri ya sị, “Onyenwe m, ma ụmụ nkịta na-erikwa iberibe nri ụmụntakịrị si na tebul tụpụ nʼala.”
but she answered and saith to him—Yea, Lord! and yet, the little dogs under the table, do eat of the crumbs of the children;
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 thy way, the demon hath gone forth out of thy daughter;
30 Ọ laghachiri nʼụlọ ya, hụ nwantakịrị ahụ ka o dina nʼelu ihe ndina, mmụọ ọjọọ ahụ apụọkwala.
and, departing unto her house, she found the child laid prostrate on the couch, and the demon gone forth.
31 Emesịa, ọ hapụrụ akụkụ Taịa gabiga Saịdọn bịaruo nʼosimiri Galili ruo nʼobodo ndị dị na Dekapọlịs.
And, again coming forth out of the bounds of Tyre, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the bounds 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 one deaf and stammering, and beseech him that he would lay upon him his hand.
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, taking him away from the multitude apart, he thrust his fingers into his ears, and, spitting, touched his tongue;
34 O leliri anya nʼeluigwe sụọ ude sị ya, “Ef fata,” nke pụtara “Meghee!”
and, looking up into the heaven, sighed deeply, 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 his ears opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, —and he was speaking correctly.
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 be telling, no one, —but, as much as to them he gave charge, they, exceeding more abundantly, were making proclamation.
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, superabundantly, were they being struck with astonishment, saying—Well, hath he, all things, done, —both, the deaf, he causeth to hear, and, the dumb, to speak.
