Makko 7
1 Awo abafalisaayo n’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka abamu abaali bavudde e Yerusaalemi ne bakuŋŋaanira awali Yesu.
Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes gathered together to him, having come from Jerusalem.
2 Ne balaba abamu ku bayigirizwa be nga balya tebanaabye mu ngalo.
Now when they saw some of his disciples eating bread with defiled, that is unwashed, hands, they found fault.
3 Kubanga Abafalisaayo n’Abayudaaya bonna tebaalyanga nga tebasoose kunaaba mu ngalo n’obwegendereza ng’empisa zaabwe bwe zaali.
(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 Era bwe baddanga eka nga bava mu katale, ekyo kye baasookanga okukola nga tebannaba kukwata ku kyakulya kyonna. Waliwo n’obulombolombo obulala bwe baagobereranga ng’okulongoosa ensuwa zaabwe, n’ebikopo, n’ebbinika n’essowaani, n’ebirala bingi.
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 Awo Abafalisaayo n’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka ne babuuza Yesu nti, “Lwaki abayigirizwa bo tebagoberera mpisa za bajjajjaffe ez’edda? Kubanga balya nga tebanaabye mu ngalo.”
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 Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Bannanfuusi mmwe! Nnabbi Isaaya yaboogerako bulungi ebyobunnabbi bwe yagamba nti, “‘Abantu bano banzisaamu ekitiibwa kya ku mimwa, naye emitima gyabwe tegindiiko.
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 Okusinza kwabwe tekuliimu nsa; kubanga bayigiriza bulombolombo bwabwe.’
They worship me in vain, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’
8 Muleka ebiragiro ebiva eri Katonda ne mugoberera obulombolombo bw’abantu.”
“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 N’abagamba nate nti, “Munyooma ekiragiro kya Katonda, ne muggumiza obulombolombo bwammwe.
He said to them, “Full well do you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition.
10 Musa yagamba nti, ‘Kitaawo ne nnyoko obassangamu ekitiibwa.’ Era n’agamba nti, ‘Omuntu yenna ayogera obubi ku kitaawe oba nnyina anattibwanga.’
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 Naye mmwe mugamba nti kituufu omuntu okulagajjalira bakadde be nga bali mu kwetaaga n’abagamba bugambi nti, ‘Mmunsonyiwe, kubanga kye nandibawadde ye Korubaani.’”
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 “Omuntu temumukkiriza kubeerako ky’akolera kitaawe oba nnyina.
“then you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or his mother,
13 Bwe mutyo munyooma ekigambo kya Katonda mulyoke mutuukirize obulombolombo bwammwe bwe mwaweebwa. N’ebirala bingi ebiri ng’ebyo bye mukola.”
making void the word of God by your tradition which you have handed down. You do many things like this.”
14 Awo Yesu n’ayita ekibiina ky’abantu n’abagamba nti, “Mmwe mwenna, mumpulirize, era mutegeere.
He called all the multitude to himself and said to them, “Hear me, all of you, and understand.
15 Ebintu ebiyingira mu muntu si bye byonoona empisa ze, wabula ebyo ebiva mu mutima gwe bye bizoonoona.
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 (Omuntu alina amatu agawulira awulirize.)”
If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!”
17 Yesu n’aviira ekibiina n’ayingira mu nnyumba, abayigirizwa be ne bamubuuza amakulu g’ebigambo bye yayogera.
When he had entered into a house away from the multitude, his disciples asked him about the parable.
18 N’abaddamu nti, “Nammwe temutegedde? Temutegeera nti buli kintu ekiyingira mu muntu si kye kimwonoona?
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 Olw’okuba nga tekiyingira mu mutima gwe naye kiyingira mu lubuto lwe ne kiryoka kigenda mu kabuyonjo.” Mu kwogera atyo Yesu yakakasa nga buli kyakulya bwe kiri ekirongoofu.
because it doesn’t go into his heart, but into his stomach, then into the latrine, making all foods clean?”
20 Era n’ayongerako na bino nti, “Ebirowoozo by’omuntu bye bimwonoona.
He said, “That which proceeds out of the man, that defiles the man.
21 Kubanga mu mutima gw’omuntu mwe muva ebirowoozo ebibi eby’obukaba, n’obubbi, n’obutemu, n’obwenzi,
For from within, out of the hearts of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual sins, murders, thefts,
22 n’okwegomba, n’omutima omubi, n’obukuusa, n’obumenyi bw’amateeka, n’obuggya, n’okusekeeterera, n’obusirusiru.
covetings, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness.
23 Ebibi bino byonna biva munda mu muntu ne bimwonoona.”
All these evil things come from within and defile the man.”
24 Awo Yesu n’alaga mu bitundu by’e Ttuulo, n’atayagala kitegeerekeke nti ali mu bitundu ebyo, naye ne kitasoboka.
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 Omukazi eyalina muwala we ng’aliko omwoyo omubi, olwawulira nga Yesu yaakatuuka, n’ajja eri Yesu, n’agwa ku bigere bye.
For a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet.
26 Omukazi teyali Muyudaaya, yali Musulofoyiniiki, n’amwegayirira agobe dayimooni ku mwana we.
Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. She begged him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter.
27 Yesu n’agamba omukazi nti, “Omwana asaana asoke akkute, kubanga tekiba kituufu okuddira emmere y’omwana okugisuulira embwa.”
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 Naye omukazi n’amuddamu nti, “Ekyo bwe kiri, ssebo, naye era n’embwa ezibeera wansi mu mmeeza, ziweebwa ku bukunkumuka obuva ku ssowaani z’abaana.”
But she answered him, “Yes, Lord. Yet even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”
29 Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Olw’ekigambo ekyo, weddireyo eka, kubanga dayimooni avudde ku muwala wo.”
He said to her, “For this saying, go your way. The demon has gone out of your daughter.”
30 Omukazi bwe yaddayo eka yasanga muwala we agalamidde awo ku kitanda, nga muteefu era nga dayimooni amuvuddeko.
She went away to her house, and found the child having been laid on the bed, with the demon gone out.
31 Yesu bwe yava mu Ttuulo n’agenda e Sidoni, eyo gye yava n’addayo ku nnyanja ey’e Ggaliraaya ng’ayitira mu “Bibuga Ekkumi” (Dekapoli).
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 Awo ne bamuleetera omusajja omuggavu w’amatu ate nga tayogera, abantu bonna ne beegayirira Yesu amusseeko emikono gye amuwonye.
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 Yesu n’aggya omusajja mu bantu n’amulaza wabbali, n’assa engalo ze mu matu g’omusajja; n’awanda amalusu, n’agasiiga n’olunwe lwe ku lulimi lw’omusajja.
He took him aside from the multitude privately and put his fingers into his ears; and he spat and touched his tongue.
34 Awo Yesu n’atunula waggulu n’assa ekikkowe, n’alyoka alagira omusajja nti, “Efasa!” ekitegeeza nti, “Gguka.”
Looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, “Ephphatha!” that is, “Be opened!”
35 Amangwago amatu g’omusajja ne gagguka n’awulira buli kintu era n’ayogera bulungi!
Immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was released, and he spoke clearly.
36 Yesu n’akuutira ekibiina baleme kutegeezaako balala ku bigambo ebyo okubisaasaanya, naye bo ne beeyongera okutegeeza.
He commanded them that they should tell no one, but the more he commanded them, so much the more widely they proclaimed it.
37 Kye yakola kyali kibayitiriddeko. Ne boogera nga batenda Yesu nti, “Buli ky’akola kya kyewuunyo, aggula n’amatu ga bakiggala n’ayogeza ne bakasiru!”
They were astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well. He makes even the deaf hear and the mute speak!”
