Marko 7
1 Mafarisayo ni baadhi jha bhaandishi ghaghah'omili Yerusalemu bhabhonganiki kun'syong'oka muene.
One day the Pharisees and some of the Teachers of the Law who had come from Jerusalem gathered round Jesus.
2 Na bhabhuene bhanafunzi bha muene bhilya mikate kwa mabhoko najisi ambaghyo bhasambi lepi.
They had noticed that some of his disciples ate their food with their hands ‘defiled,’ by which they meant unwashed.
3 (kwa Mafarisayo ni bhajhahudi bhoha bhilya lepi mpaka bhasambaji mabhoko gha bhene kinofu; bhikamulila bhutamaduni bhwa bhaseya bhwakati.
(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 Mafarisayo bhikherebhuka kuh'omela mahali pa soko bhilya lepi mpaka bhajhoghayi hosi. Na kujha sheria s'enge ambalyo bhakasikesya kabisa, pamonga ni kusuka fikombi, masufuria, fenu fya shaba, ni hata fiti fya fitumika bhwakati bhwa kyakulya.)
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 Mafarisayo ni bhaandishi bhakan'kota Yesu, “Kwa ndabha j'ha kiki bhanafunzi bhajobhibhiishi lepi Kul'hengana ni tamaduni sya bhaseya, kwandabha jha kiki bhilya mikate bota kusamba mabhoko?”
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 Lakini muene akabhajobhela, “Isaya atabiri kinofu kuhusu muenga bhanafiki, ajhandiki, 'bhanu abha bhakaniheshimu kwa milomo ghya bhene, lakini miteema ghya bhene ghijhele patali ninene.
His answer was: “It was well said by Isaiah when he prophesied about you hypocrites in the words — ‘This is a people that honour me with their lips, while their hearts are far removed from me;
7 Bhakanibhombela ibada syasibelili kujha ni maana, bhifundisya sheria sya bhanadamu Kama mapokeo gha bhene.'
but vainly do they worship me, For they teach but the precepts of men.’
8 Mujhilekili sheria jha K'yara ni kusikamulila kwa bhwujhofu sheria sya bhanadamu.”
You neglect God’s commandments and hold to the traditions of men.
9 Na akajobha kwa bhene, “Muj'hibelili amri jha K'yara kwa bhujhojhofu ni ili kujha mutunzayi tamaduni sya muenga!
Wisely do you set aside God’s commandments,” he exclaimed, “to keep your own traditions!
10 Kwa kujha Musa ajobhili, 'mun'heshimuajhi dadi waku ni nyinuaku,' na 'Jhejhioha jhaibetakun'jobhela mabhibhi dadimunu au nyinamunu hakika ibetakufwa.'
For while Moses said ‘Honour thy father and thy mother,’ and ‘Let him who reviles his father or mother suffer death,’
11 Lakini mwijobha, 'kama munu akajobhayi kwa dadi munu au nyina, “Msaada bhobhuha ambabho nga mup'okili kwa nene ndo hazina jha hekalu,”' (ejhu ndo kujobha kujha, 'jhihomesibhu kwa K'yara')
you say ‘If a man says to his father or mother “Whatever of mine might have been of service to you is Korban”’ (which means ‘Given to God’) —
12 Kama ukanduhusu lepi kubhomba lijambo lyolyoha kwa ndabha jha dadimunu au nyinamunu.
why, then you do not allow him to do anything further for his father or mother!
13 Mukajhibhomba amri jha K'yara kujha bure kwa kulota tamaduni sya jhomu. Ni mambo mingi ghya namna ejhu jha mukajhibhomba.”
In this way you nullify the words of God by your traditions, which you hand down; and you do many similar things.”
14 Akabhakuta makutano kabhele ni kubhajobhela, “Munip'elekesiajhi nene muenga mwe bhoha, na munu njelebhwajhi.
Then Jesus called the people to him again, and said: “Listen to me, all of you, and mark my words.
15 kijhelepi kyokyoha kuh'omela kwibhala kwa bhanu ambakyo kibhwesya kun'chafula munu pa kijhingila kwa muene. Bali kyakikamp'ita munu ndo kyakikanchafula.
There is nothing external to a man, which by going into him can ‘defile’ him; but the things that come out from a man are the things that defile him.”
16 (Zingatilayi: mstari obho, “Kama munu jhejhioha ajhe ni mbolokhoto sya kup'eleka, na ap'elekayi” bhujhelepi mu nakala sya muandi).
17 Yesu bho abhalikili makutano ni kujhingila mu nyumba, bhanafunzi bha muene bhakan'kota kuhusu mfano obho.
When Jesus went indoors, away from the crowd, his disciples began questioning him about this saying.
18 Yesu akajobha, Ni muene pia mujhelibhu lepi? Mwibhona lepi kyokioha kya kikanjhingila munu kibhwesya lepi kunchafula,
“What, do even you understand so little?” exclaimed Jesus. “Do not you see that there is nothing external to a man, which by going into a man, can ‘defile’ him,
19 Kwandabha kibhwesya lepi kul'ota mu n'teema ghwa muene, lakini kijhingita mu lileme lya muene na kisha kip'eta kulota ku choro.” kwa majhelesu agha Yesu asibhombili fyakulya fyoha kujha safi.
because it does not pass into his heart, but into his stomach, and is afterwards got rid of? — in saying this Jesus pronounced all food ‘clean.’
20 Akajobha, “kyakikampita munu ndo kyakikan'chafula.
“It is what comes out from a man,” he added, “that defiles him,
21 Kwa kujha kih'omela mugati mwa munu, kunja mu muoyo, ghih'oma mabhwasu maovu, zinaa, bhuheji, bhukoma,
for it is from within, out of the hearts of men, that there come evil thoughts — unchastity, theft, murder, adultery,
22 bhuasherati, tamaa sibhibhi, bhuovu, bhusiobhi, kuhongana, bhwifu, kashfa, majivuno, bhujinga.
greed, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, haughtiness, folly;
23 Maovu agha ghoha ghih'omela mugati, ndo ghala ghakan'chafula munu.”
all these wicked things come from within, and do defile a man.”
24 Ajhinuiki pala ni kubhoka kulota ku mkoa ghwa Tiro ni sidoni. Akajhingila mugati na ambwene lepi munu jhejhioha umanyajhi kujha ajhele apu, lakini jhabhwesekene lepi kumfigha.
On leaving that place, Jesus went to the district of Tyre and Sidon. And he went into a house, and did not wish anyone to know it, but could not escape notice.
25 Lakini ghafla n'dala ambajhe mwana munu ajhele ni roho bhachafu, ap'eliki habari sya muene, akahida ni kubina mmagolo gha muene.
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 N'dala ojhu ajhele Myunani, ghwa kabila lya kifoeniki. An'sokili muene abhosiajhi pepo kuh'omela kwa mwali munu.
the woman was a foreigner, a native of Syrian Phoenicia — and she begged him to drive the demon out of her daughter.
27 Yesu akan'jobhela n'dala, “Bhalekayi bhana bhalekayi bhana bhalesibhwayi hoti, kwa kujha sawalepi kutola n'kata ghwa muana ni kusopela libhwa.”
“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 Lakini n'dala akan'jibu ni kujobha,
“Yes, Master,” she replied; “even the dogs under the table do feed on the children’s crumbs.”
29 Akabhajobhela, “Kwa kujha ujobhili naha, ujhe huru kulota. Pepo amalili kumboka mwalibhu.”
“For saying that,” he answered, “you may go. The demon has gone out of your daughter.”
30 N'dala akaghibariki kunyumba jha muene ni kun'kolela mwalimunu agonili pa kitanda, ni pepo amalili kumbokha.
The woman went home, and found the child lying on her bed, and the demon gone.
31 Yesu akabhomba kabhele kwibhala jha mkoa ghwa Tiro ni kup'etela Sidoni kulotela Bahari jha Galilaya mpaka kanda jha Dikapolisi.
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 Na bhakandeta munu kiziwi na akajha ibhwesyalepi kulongela kinofu, bhakan'soka Yesu abhekayi mabhoko panani pa muene.
Some people brought to him a man who was deaf and almost dumb, and they begged Jesus to place his hand on him.
33 An'homisi kwibhala ku lukhomanu kwa seri na akabheka fikonji fya muene mu mbolokhoto sya muene ni baada jha kufunya mata, agusili bhulimi bhwa muene.
Jesus took him aside from the crowd quietly, put his fingers into the man’s ears, and touched his tongue with saliva.
34 Akalanga kunani ku mbinguni ahemili ni kun'jobhela, “Efata,” ejhu ndo kujobha “fungukajhi!”
Then, looking up to Heaven, he sighed, and said to the man: “Ephphatha!” which means ‘Be opened.’
35 Ni muda bhola bhola mb'olo khoto sikafunguka, na kyakikazuili bhulimi kyaharibibhu na akabhwesya kulongela kinofu.
The man’s ears were opened, the string of his tongue was freed, and he began to talk plainly.
36 Na abhaamuili bhasin'jobheli munu jhejhioha. Lakini kadiri kya abhaamuili, ndo jinsi kyabhatangasili habari esu kwa bhwingi.
Jesus insisted upon their not telling any one; but the more he insisted, the more perseveringly they made it known,
37 Hakika bhasyangesibhu ni kujobha, “Abhombili kila khenu kinofu. Hata abhabhombili viziwi kup'eleka ni mabubu kulongela.”
and a profound impression was made upon the people. “He has done everything well!” they exclaimed. “He makes even the deaf hear and the dumb speak!”
