1 Vafalisi ni vamwi vavañoli vavali kukazwila kwa Jerusalema nivakuungana kumuzimbuluka.
Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes gathered together to him, having come from Jerusalem.
2 Mi vavavoni kuti vamwi vavarutiwa vavali zilyo ni mayanza enekwe, awo, asasambite.
Now when they saw some of his disciples eating bread with defiled, that is unwashed, hands, they found fault.
3 (Mukuti vafalisi ni vonse maJuda kavali mbwita havasamba kumayanza avo; mukuti vechilile chizo chavakulwana.
(For the Pharisees and all the Jews don’t eat unless they wash their hands and forearms, holding to the tradition of the elders.
4 Cwale vafalisi havakazwa kuchivaka chamusika, kavali mbwita havasamba. Imi kwina milao mingi ivechilila chentokomelo, kukopanya ni kusambisa inkomoki, impoto, ni kahambwe ke nsipi i venya, mi mane nanga ni zikalo zivaliila.)
They don’t eat when they come from the marketplace unless they bathe themselves, and there are many other things which they have received to hold to: washings of cups, pitchers, bronze vessels, and couches.)
5 Mafalisi ni vañoli ni vavuuza Jesu, “Chinzi varutiwa vako havasayi ka chizo cha Vakulwana, mukuti vavaali zilyo ni mayanza asasambite?”
The Pharisees and the scribes asked him, “Why don’t your disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with unwashed hands?”
6 Kono nati kuvali, “Isaya avaporofiti neenza kuamana nanwe valihele, ava ñoli, 'Ava vantu bani kuteka chamiromo yavo, kono inkulo zavo zinakule naame.
He answered them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, ‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
7 Kuteemba kusena intuso kuvaniha, kuruta milao yavantu kuva intuto yavo.'
They worship me in vain, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’
8 Musiya intaero zaIreeza muya chamikwa ya chizo chavantu.”
“For you set aside the commandment of God, and hold tightly to the tradition of men—the washing of pitchers and cups, and you do many other such things.”
9 Mi a va co kuvali, “Mwizi neenza kukana intaero yaIreza kuti mukuteke chizo chenu!
He said to them, “Full well do you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition.
10 Mi Mushe nati, 'Ukuteke iso ni nyoko', ni, 'Iye yowamba vuvi kuvesi kamba vanyina luli kafwe.'
For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother;’ and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.’
11 Kono inwe muti, 'Heba muntu uwambila vesi ni vanyina, “Cinzi ni chinzi intuso zimuvavatambuli kwangu Inkoombani,” (nji kuta kuti, 'Kuva hewa Ireeza')-
But you say, ‘If a man tells his father or his mother, “Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban,”’” that is to say, given to God,
12 linu kosiwoli kumuzuminina kutenda chimwi kuvesi ni vanyina.
“then you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or his mother,
13 Mu kwete ku panga mulao wa Ireeza kuvula intuso chachizo chenu chimu vatambiki hansi. Ni zingi zintu ziswana zimucita.”
making void the word of God by your tradition which you have handed down. You do many things like this.”
14 Cha sumpa chinavuungi hape ni kuwamba kuvali, “Muteke kwangu, muvonse, ni kuzuwisisa.
He called all the multitude to himself and said to them, “Hear me, all of you, and understand.
15 Kakwina chizwa hanze yomuntu icho cimusihisa hachinjila mwali. Nji chizwa hanze yomuntu icho chimusihisa.”
There is nothing from outside of the man that going into him can defile him; but the things which proceed out of the man are those that defile the man.
16 (Wina matwi aku zuwa a zuwe).
If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!”
17 Haho Jesu hasiya chinavuungi ni kwinjila munzubo, varutwana vakwe chivamuvuza kuamana ninguli.
When he had entered into a house away from the multitude, his disciples asked him about the parable.
18 Jesu nati, “Nenwe lyaho kamuzuwisisi? Kamuvoni kuti chonse chinjila kumuntu kuzwa hanze kachiwoli kumusihisa,
He said to them, “Are you also without understanding? Don’t you perceive that whatever goes into the man from outside can’t defile him,
19 kakuti kachiwoli kwinjila munkulo, kono chiya mwivumo ni kukachizwisikiza mukalimba-limba?” Chowu muwambiro Jesu avapangi zilyo zonse chokujolola.
because it doesn’t go into his heart, but into his stomach, then into the latrine, making all foods clean?”
20 Chati, “Nji chizwa hanse yomuntu njichimusilafaza. Kakuli chizwa kumuntu,
He said, “That which proceeds out of the man, that defiles the man.
21 kuzwa mu nkulo, kuzwa mumihupulo mivi, vusaangu, vusa, kwihaya,
For from within, out of the hearts of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual sins, murders, thefts,
22 vushyahi, kunuungwa, lunya, muna, mapa, kuchengelela, vuikuhumuso, vuholo,
covetings, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness.
23 zonse izi zivilala zizwilila mukati, mi nji zisihisa muuntu.”
All these evil things come from within and defile the man.”
24 Chavuuka kuzwa aho ni kuyenda ku chikiliti chaTire ni Sidoni. Cheza munzubo mi kanavali kusaka kuti muntu zumwi ezive kuti kwa veena, kono kana avali kuwoleka ku patwa.
From there he arose and went away into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. He entered into a house and didn’t want anyone to know it, but he couldn’t escape notice.
25 Kono hohwaho mukulwakazi, inyina wa mwana kazana yavena luhuho lusajololi, chazuwa kuamana naye, cheza, ni kuwila hansi hamatende akwe.
For a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet.
26 Cwale mwanakazi avali Mugerike, waluzuvo lwa Zirofenia. Namukumbila kuhindika idimona ku mwana'kwe wa mukazana.
Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. She begged him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter.
27 Nati kwali, “Musiye bahwile pili baleliwe. Sina hakusashiyeme kuhinda zilyo zabahwile nikuzi sohela vambwa.”
But Jesus said to her, “Let the children be filled first, for it is not appropriate to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”
28 Kono cha mwitava nikuta kwali, “Eee, Simwine, nanga vambwa mwi konde lye ntafule valya tufwafwali twavahwile.”
But she answered him, “Yes, Lord. Yet even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”
29 Nati kwali, “Kakuli wawamba buti, ulukuluhite kuyenda. Idimona chilyaazwa kumwanako”.
He said to her, “For this saying, go your way. The demon has gone out of your daughter.”
30 Chabola ku nzubo yakwe ni kukawana muhwile ulele hamumbeta, mi idimona livayendi.
She went away to her house, and found the child having been laid on the bed, with the demon gone out.
31 Cwale chayenda hape kuzwa muchikiliti chaTire, nikuyenda cha Sidoni kuya kwiwate lyaGalileya konji kuchililiti cha Dekapolisi.
Again he departed from the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and came to the sea of Galilee through the middle of the region of Decapolis.
32 Ni chivaleta kwali zumwi yavafwile matwi ni bukavo kukuwamba, ni va mukumbila kubika iyanzahali.
They brought to him one who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech. They begged him to lay his hand on him.
33 Chamuhindila kumbali kuzwa munavuungi cha kuliuungula, mi chavika minwe yakwe mumatwi akwe, mi hamana kuswa, nakwata lulimi lwakwe.
He took him aside from the multitude privately and put his fingers into his ears; and he spat and touched his tongue.
34 Avaloli kwiwulu, hatuliza muhuza nikucho kwali, “Efafata” njikuti, “Yaluke!”
Looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, “Ephphatha!” that is, “Be opened!”
35 Mi haho kuzuwa kwakwe chikwe yaluka, mi chiva kwete lulimi lwakwe chiva shiywa mi chava kuwamba sinte.
Immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was released, and he spoke clearly.
36 Mi avava laeli kuti kanji vawambili muntu. Kono mwavali kuva laelelela, muvavali kuliwambila mane ni kuhita.
He commanded them that they should tell no one, but the more he commanded them, so much the more widely they proclaimed it.
37 Vava komokiswa ahulu, ni vati, “Ava pangi zintu zonse siinte. Uwola nanga vasinkite matwi kuti vazuwe ni zimumu ku wamba.”
They were astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well. He makes even the deaf hear and the mute speak!”
