Maki 7
1 Hagi Farisi mono vahe'mo'zane kasegere ugagota hu'naza vahe'mo'za Jerusalemi kumateti' e'za, Jisasinte emeri atru nehu'za,
One day the Pharisees and some of the teachers of the Law who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus.
2 Jisasi amage'ma nentaza disaipol nagapinti mago'amo'za zamazana sese osu'za bretia nenage'za ke'naze.
They had noticed that some of his disciples ate their food with their hands ‘defiled,’ by which they meant unwashed.
3 Na'ankure Farisi vahe'ene, mika Jiu vahe'mo'za, zmagehe'mofo zamavu zmavama avaririza, zamazana sese huso'e osune'za ne'zana nonaze.
(For the Pharisees, and indeed all strict Jews, will not eat without first scrupulously washing their hands, holding in this to the traditions of their ancestors.
4 Hagi maketi kumapinti ne-e'za, zamagra ne'zana onene'za zamazana sese hute'zage ne'zana nenaze. Hagi zamagra rama'a zmagehemofo kasegea eri'naze. Kapuma kavoma tinkavoma nezama anteno ne' zantamima sesehu agruma hute'za, ne'zama ne'zana azenerize.
When they come from market, they will not eat without first sprinkling themselves; and there are many other customs which they have inherited and hold to, such as the ceremonial washing of cups, and jugs, and copper pans).
5 Hagi Farisi vahe'mo'zane, kasegere ugagota hu'naza vahe'mo'za Jisasina antahige'za, Nahige'za kamage'ma nentaza disaipol nagakamo'za tagehe'i avu'avamofo kea amage onte'za, ne'zama nenakura zamazana sese nosaze?
So the Pharisees and the teachers of the Law asked Jesus this question – “How is it that your disciples do not follow the traditions of our ancestors, but eat their food with defiled hands?”
6 Hazageno Jisasi'a anage huno zamasmi'ne, Aisaia'a fatgo huno krunage vahere huno krenteneana, tamagriku hu'ne, Ama vahe'mo'za zamagiteti nagi'a ahentesga nehaze. Hianagi zamagu'amo'a nagritera omaneno, afete'are me'ne.
His answer was, “It was well said by Isaiah when he prophesied about you hypocrites in the words – ‘This is a people who honor me with their lips, while their hearts are far removed from me;
7 Amegati nezama'a omane mono hunenante'za, vahe'mofo kasege rempi nehaze.
but vainly do they worship me, For they teach but human precepts.’
8 Hagi Anumzamo'ma hihoma hu'nea kasegea netre'za, vahe'mofo zamuzma'mofo ke azeri hanavetiza amage nentaze.
You neglect God’s commandments and hold to human traditions.
9 Anage huno mago'ane zamasami'ne, Anumzamofo kasegema eritre kaziga knare hu'naze. Hanki tamagehe'i avu'ava'mofo amagera nentaze.
Wisely do you set aside God’s commandments,” he exclaimed, “to keep your own traditions!
10 Na'ankure Mosesi'a anage hu'ne, negafane negreranena antahiminka agoraga'a manio. Hagi iza'o nefama nererama agoraga'a omanino, huhaviza huntesimofona, ahe friho hu'ne hutma nehaze.
For while Moses said ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and ‘Let anyone who abuses their father or mother suffer death,’
11 Hianagi tamagra anage nehaze, aza'o nefama nererama asamino, Nagrama tanaza hu'zama ante'noana, Anumzamofo ami'naku ante'noe haniana e'i knare hu'ne huta nehaze.
you say ‘If a person says to their father or mother “Whatever of mine might have been of service to you is Corban”’ (which means ‘Set apart for God’) –
12 Ana nehutma, ana ne'mofona atrageno nefane nereranena mago'zana aza nosie.
why, then you do not allow them to do anything further for their father or mother!
13 Tamagri tami tamavu tamava'za rempima huzamiza'zamo higeta Anumzamofo ke'mofo hanavea eri netreta, rama'a ama anahu'zana nehaze.
In this way you nullify the words of God by your traditions, which you hand down; and you do many similar things.”
14 Hagi maka veaku Jisasi'a ke hige'za ageno anage huno zamasmi'ne, Tamagra nanekeni'a nentahita antahi ama' hiho.
Then Jesus called the people to him again, and said, “Listen to me, all of you, and mark my words.
15 Magore huno fegiatima vahe'mofo agu'afima ufresiazamo'a, vahera azeri pehena osugahie. Hianagi vahe'mofo agu'afinti atiramino esiazamo, vahera azeri pehena hugahie.
There is nothing external to a person, which by going into them can defile them; but the things that come out of a person are the things that defile them.”
16 [Kagesa antahinamoka antahio.]
17 Anage huteno, ana vahe zamatreno Jisasi'a nompi marerige'za, amage'ma nentaza disaipol naga'mo'za, ana fronka ke'mofo agafa'agu antahige'naze.
When Jesus went indoors, away from the crowd, his disciples began questioning him about this saying.
18 Anante Jisasi'a anage huno zamasami'ne, Tamagrira knare antahi'zana omane'nefi? Tamagra antahi amara nosazo, inankanzamo'ma fegiatima vahe'mofo agu'afinka ufrezamo'a, vahe'mofona azeri pehena nosie.
“What, do even you understand so little?” exclaimed Jesus. “Don’t you see that there is nothing external to a person, which by going into a person, can defile them,
19 Na'ankure anazamo'a vahe'mofo agu'afina novie. Hanki rimpafi uramiteno, anantetira rifa kerifi nevie. (Jisasima anagema hu'nea kemo'a, mafka ne'zamo'a agru huno hu'ne.)
because it does not pass into his heart, but into his stomach, and is afterward got rid of?” – in saying this Jesus pronounced all food clean.
20 Hagi Jisasi'a anage huno zamasami'ne, Vahe'mofo zmaguafinti atiramiazamo, zamazeri pehena nehie.
“It is what comes out from a person,” he added, “that defiles them,
21 Vahe'mofo agu'afinti'ma efore'ma nehiana, havi agu'agesa antahi'zane, monko zane, kumzafa se'zane, vahema ahe fri'zana ne-e,
for it is from within, out of the hearts of people, that there come evil thoughts – sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,
22 arave hu'nea a'ene vene monko avu'ava hu'zane, agraguke antahi'zane, havi avu'ava'ene, vahe'mofo krunage hunte'zane, vahe'mofo kumipi avrente avu'avazane, vahe'mofo zanku kenunu hu'zama, knare vahe'mofo havige hunte'zane, neginagi avu'ava hu'zane, avufga eriantesga hu'zane,
greed, wickedness, deceit, indecency, envy, slander, haughtiness, folly;
23 ana mafkazana vahe'mofo agu'afinti atiramiazamo vahera azeri pehena nehie.
all these wicked things come from within, and do defile a person.”
24 Hagi Jisasi'a otino ana mopa atreno Tairi kuma kaziga vu'ne. Vuno mago nompi ufreno, vahe'mo'za emenine huza ontahisaze nehuno umanine, hianagi frakigara osu'ne.
On leaving that place, Jesus went to the district of Tyre and Sidon. He went into a house, and did not wish anyone to know it, but could not escape notice.
25 Ana hianagi mago mofara havi avamu'mo agu'afi fre'nea mofa'mofo nerera'a Jisasi'ma emani'nea kema nentahino, ame huno eno agafi eme prihuno,
For a woman, whose little daughter had a foul spirit in her, heard of him immediately, and came and threw herself at his feet –
26 ana ara Sairofonesia kumateti Griki megi'a vahepinti a'kino, Jisasinkura muse hugantoanki havi avamura ome hunto huno asami'ne.
the woman was a foreigner, from Syrian Phoenicia – and she begged him to drive the demon out of her daughter.
27 Higeno Jisasi'a anage huno ana akura hu'ne, Mofavremofo bretima erita kramofo amizamo'a knarera osu'neanki, atregeno mofavremo kotazana nemu huteno.
“Let the children be satisfied first,” answered Jesus. “For it is not fair to take the children’s food, and throw it to dogs.”
28 Higeno ana a'mo'a anage hu'ne, Ramoka tamage hananagi, itaretima mofavre'mo'za nenazageno ankrama heramiama'a kramo'za zogi'za nenaze.
“Yes, Master,” she replied. “Even the dogs under the table do feed on the children’s crumbs.”
29 Anante Jisasi'a anage hu'ne, E'inahu kenona hanku vuo, havi avamumo'a mofaka'amofo agu'afinti hago atiramino vu'ne.
“For saying that,” he answered, “you may go. The demon has gone out of your daughter.”
30 Higeno noma'arega vuno ome keana, mofa'amofona havi avamumo'a ko atreno vigeno, sipare mase'negeno ome ke'ne.
The woman went home, and found the child lying on her bed, and the demon gone.
31 Anante Jisasi'a Tairi kumara atreno, Saido kumapinti rugitagino Dekapolisi kaziga, Galili tirutega uhanatige'za,
On returning from the district of Tyre, Jesus went, by way of Sidon, to the Sea of Galilee, across the district of the Ten Towns.
32 mago agesa ankaniregeno kea nosia ne' avare'za e'za, Jisasinku muse hugantonanki kazana agofetu anto hu'naze.
Some people brought to him a man who was deaf and almost dumb, and they begged Jesus to place his hand on him.
33 Jisasi'a veara nezmatreno ana ne' avareno znagrake umanine'ne, agesa gampi azana nevazino, avetu aheno azankonu aganefunare avako nehuno,
Jesus took him aside from the crowd quietly, put his fingers into the man’s ears, and touched his tongue with saliva.
34 kesga huno monafi negeno ra asimu nenteno, Efata huno hu'ne, (ana kemofo agafa'a ruhagro huo hu'ne.)
Then, looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to the man, “Ephphatha!” which means ‘Be opened.’
35 Higeno ame huno ana ne'mofo agesamo'a ru hagro higeno, agefunamo'a oza higeno, knare huno kea hu'ne.
The man’s ears were opened, the string of his tongue was freed, and he began to talk plainly.
36 Jisasi'a amazama huazana vahera ozmasamiho huno nezmasamiana netre'za, ete mago'ane vahera huama hu'za zamasami'naze.
Jesus insisted on their not telling anyone; but the more he insisted, the more perseveringly they made it known,
37 Hagi tusi zamagogo fege'za, Agra mika' zana knare'za nehie hu'za nehu'za, zamagesa ankanire'naza vahe erinkro huzmantege'za, knare hu'za kea nentahize. Hagi zamagnefu'na kna hu'nea vahe zamazeri so'e hige'za knare hu'za kea nehaze hu'za hu'naze.
and a profound impression was made on the people. “He has done everything well!” they exclaimed. “He makes even the deaf hear and the dumb speak!”
