UMakho 7
1 Kwasekubuthana kuye abaFarisi, labanye bababhali, ababevela eJerusalema;
And the Pharisees and certain ones of the scribes, having come from Jerusalem, gather to Him.
2 sebebonile ukuthi abanye babafundi bakhe badla izinkwa ngezandla ezingcolileyo, okuyikuthi ezingagezwanga, basola.
And seeing certain ones of His disciples eating bread with defiled, that is, unwashed hands.
3 Ngoba abaFarisi lamaJuda bonke kabadli, ngaphandle kokuthi bagezisise izandla zabo, belondoloza isiko labadala.
For the Pharisees and all the Jews, unless they diligently wash their hands, do not eat, holding the tradition of the elders.
4 Nxa bevela emdangeni, kabadli, ngaphandle kokuthi bageze; futhi zikhona ezinye izinto ezinengi abazemukelayo ukuzilondoloza, ukugezisa inkezo lembiza lezitsha zethusi lemibheda.
And from the forum, unless they may baptize themselves, they do not eat: and many other things which they have received to hold, the baptism of cups, and pots, and brazen vessels, and couches.
5 Emva kwalokhu abaFarisi lababhali bambuza bathi: Kungani abafundi bakho bengahambi ngesiko labadala, kodwa badla isinkwa ngezandla ezingahlanjwanga?
Then the Pharisees and scribes asked Him, Wherefore do not thy disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders: but they eat bread with unwashed hands?
6 Kodwa waphendula wathi kubo: UIsaya waprofetha kuhle ngani lina bazenzisi, njengokulotshiweyo ukuthi: Lesisizwe singidumisa ngezindebe, kodwa inhliziyo yabo ikhatshana lami.
And responding He said to them, Beautifully did Isaiah prophesy concerning you hypocrites, as has been written, This people honor me with lips, but their heart is far from me.
7 Kodwa zingikhonza ngeze, zifundisa izimfundiso eziyimilayo yabantu.
In vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
8 Ngoba liyekela umlayo kaNkulunkulu, ligcine isiko labantu, ukugezisa imbiza lenkezo; lezinye izinto ezinengi ezinjalo liyazenza.
For having left the commandment of God, you are holding the tradition of men.
9 Wasesithi kubo: Liyachitha kuhle umlayo kaNkulunkulu, ukuze lilondoloze isiko lenu.
And He said to them, Truly, you make void the commandment of God, that you may hold your own tradition.
10 Ngoba uMozisi wathi: Hlonipha uyihlo lonyoko; lokuthi: Othuka uyise kumbe unina kumele afe ukufa;
For Moses said, Honor thy father and thy mother; and let the one speaking evil of father and mother die the death.
11 kodwa lina lithi: Aluba umuntu esithi kuyise kumbe kunina: Lokho obungasizwa yimi ngakho, "liKhobane", okuyikuthi umnikelo kuNkulunkulu;
But you say, If a man may say to father or mother, Corban, that is a gift, whatsoever you may be profited by me;
12 kalisamvumeli ukwenzela uyise kumbe unina ulutho,
and you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or mother;
13 lilenza ize ilizwi likaNkulunkulu ngesiko lenu eliliqhubayo; lezinto ezinengi ezinjalo liyazenza.
making void the word of God by your tradition, which you have given: and you do many such similar things.
14 Esebizile kuye ixuku lonke, wathi kilo: Ngilalelani lonke, liqedisise.
And calling the crowd to Him again, He said to them, Hear all ye, and understand.
15 Kalukho ulutho olungaphandle komuntu olungamngcolisa lungena kuye; kodwa izinto eziphuma kuye, yizo lezo ezingcolisa umuntu.
There is nothing without a man coming into him, which is competent to defile him: but those things coming out from him, these are the things which defile the man.
16 Uba ekhona olendlebe zokuzwa akezwe.
If any one has ears to hear, let him hear.
17 Esengenile endlini evela exukwini, abafundi bakhe bambuza ngomfanekiso.
And when He came from the multitude into the house, His disciples asked Him the parable.
18 Wasesithi kubo: Ngokunjalo lani lingabangelakuqedisisa yini? Kaliqedisisi yini ukuthi konke okungaphandle okungena emuntwini kungemngcolise?
And He says to them, Are you still without understanding? Do you not know that everything external entering into a man is not able to defile him?
19 Ngoba kakungeni enhliziyweni yakhe, kodwa esiswini, kuphumele ngaphandle, kuhlambulula ukudla konke.
Because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and is cast out into the excrement, purifying all edibles.
20 Wasesithi: Okuphumayo emuntwini, yikho okungcolisa umuntu.
And He said, Everything proceeding out from the man, that defiles the man.
21 Ngoba kuphuma ngaphakathi enhliziyweni yabantu imicabango emibi, ukuphinga, ukufeba, ukubulala,
For within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil reasonings, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 ukweba, ubuhwaba, ukuxhwala, inkohliso, amanyala, ilihlo elibi, inhlamba, ukuzigqaja, ubuthutha;
thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, impurity, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, folly.
23 zonke lezizinto ezimbi zivela ngaphakathi, zimngcolise umuntu.
All these evils proceed out from within, and defile the man.
24 Wasesukuma lapho waya emikhawulweni yeTire leSidoni. Wangena endlini, engathandi ukuthi kwaziwe muntu, kodwa wayengelakufihlakala.
And rising up, He departed thence into the regions of Tyre and Sidon. And having entered into a house, and He wished no one to know it: and He was not able to be hidden.
25 Ngoba owesifazana, olentombazana yakhe elomoya ongcolileyo, esezwile ngaye, weza wawa phansi enyaweni zakhe;
For a woman hearing concerning Him, whose daughter had an unclean spirit, having come worshiped at His feet.
26 njalo owesifazana wayengumGriki, engumSirofenike ngokuzalwa; wasemncenga ukuthi akhuphe idimoni endodakazini yakhe.
For the woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by race; and asked Him that He may cast the demon out of her daughter.
27 Kodwa uJesu wathi kuye: Ake kusuthe abantwana kuqala; ngoba kakukuhle ukuthatha isinkwa sabantwana sisiphosele izinjana.
And He said to her, Permit the children first to be fed: for It is not good to take the children's bread and cast it to little dogs.
28 Kodwa waphendula wathi kuye: Yebo, Nkosi; kodwa lezinjana ezingaphansi kwetafula ziyadla imvuthuluka yabantwana.
And she responded and says to Him, Yea, Lord: for even the little dogs eat the crumbs of the children under the table.
29 Wasesithi kuye: Ngenxa yalokhukutsho hamba-ke; idimoni liphumile endodakazini yakho.
And He said to her, On account of this word go; the demon has already gone out from thy daughter.
30 Wasesuka waya endlini yakhe, wafica idimoni seliphumile, lendodakazi ilele embhedeni.
And having come into her house, she found the demon gone out, and the daughter lying on the bed.
31 Wasebuya wasuka emikhawulweni yeTire leSidoni, weza elwandle lweGalili, phakathi kwemikhawulo yeDikapolisi.
And having again come out from Tyre and Sidon, He came to the Sea of Galilee, amid the coasts of Decapolis.
32 Basebeletha kuye isacuthe esigagasayo, bamncenga ukuthi abeke isandla sakhe phezu kwaso.
And they bring Him a deaf man, speaking with difficulty; and intreat Him that He may lay His hand on him.
33 Wasesikhupha exukwini sabasodwa, wafaka iminwe yakhe endlebeni zaso, wakhafula wathinta ulimi lwaso,
And taking him from the crowd privately, He put His fingers in his ears, and having spat, He touched his tongue;
34 ekhangela phezulu ezulwini, wabubula, wathi kuso: "Efatha"; okuyikuthi: Vulwa!
and looking up to heaven, he groaned, and says to him, Ephphatha, which is, Be thou opened.
35 Njalo zahle zavulwa indlebe zaso; yasithukululwa intambo yolimi lwaso, sasesikhuluma saqonda.
And immediately his ears were opened, and the bond of his tongue loosed, and he continued to speak distinctly.
36 Wasebalaya ukuthi bangatsheli muntu; kodwa lanxa wayebalayile kakhulu, kwang'khona bekumemezela ngamandla.
And He charged them that they should tell no one: and the more He charged them, the more abundantly they proclaimed it.
37 Basebemangala kakhulukazi sibili, bathi: Uzenzile kuhle izinto zonke; wenza kokubili izacuthe ukuthi zizwe, lezimungulu ukuthi zikhulume.
And were astonished exceedingly, saying, He has done all things well: He makes the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
