UMakho 7
1 Kwasekubuthana kuye abaFarisi, labanye bababhali, ababevela eJerusalema;
Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem.
2 sebebonile ukuthi abanye babafundi bakhe badla izinkwa ngezandla ezingcolileyo, okuyikuthi ezingagezwanga, basola.
And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault.
3 Ngoba abaFarisi lamaJuda bonke kabadli, ngaphandle kokuthi bagezisise izandla zabo, belondoloza isiko labadala.
For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, 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 when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables.
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, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?
6 Kodwa waphendula wathi kubo: UIsaya waprofetha kuhle ngani lina bazenzisi, njengokulotshiweyo ukuthi: Lesisizwe singidumisa ngezindebe, kodwa inhliziyo yabo ikhatshana lami.
He answered and said unto them, Well hath Isaiah prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
7 Kodwa zingikhonza ngeze, zifundisa izimfundiso eziyimilayo yabantu.
Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctines the commandments of men.
8 Ngoba liyekela umlayo kaNkulunkulu, ligcine isiko labantu, ukugezisa imbiza lenkezo; lezinye izinto ezinengi ezinjalo liyazenza.
For laying aside the commandment of YHWH, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
9 Wasesithi kubo: Liyachitha kuhle umlayo kaNkulunkulu, ukuze lilondoloze isiko lenu.
And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of YHWH, that ye may keep your own tradition.
10 Ngoba uMozisi wathi: Hlonipha uyihlo lonyoko; lokuthi: Othuka uyise kumbe unina kumele afe ukufa;
For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:
11 kodwa lina lithi: Aluba umuntu esithi kuyise kumbe kunina: Lokho obungasizwa yimi ngakho, "liKhobane", okuyikuthi umnikelo kuNkulunkulu;
But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.
12 kalisamvumeli ukwenzela uyise kumbe unina ulutho,
And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;
13 lilenza ize ilizwi likaNkulunkulu ngesiko lenu eliliqhubayo; lezinto ezinengi ezinjalo liyazenza.
Making the word of YHWH of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
14 Esebizile kuye ixuku lonke, wathi kilo: Ngilalelani lonke, liqedisise.
And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:
15 Kalukho ulutho olungaphandle komuntu olungamngcolisa lungena kuye; kodwa izinto eziphuma kuye, yizo lezo ezingcolisa umuntu.
There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.
16 Uba ekhona olendlebe zokuzwa akezwe.
If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
17 Esengenile endlini evela exukwini, abafundi bakhe bambuza ngomfanekiso.
And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.
18 Wasesithi kubo: Ngokunjalo lani lingabangelakuqedisisa yini? Kaliqedisisi yini ukuthi konke okungaphandle okungena emuntwini kungemngcolise?
And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him;
19 Ngoba kakungeni enhliziyweni yakhe, kodwa esiswini, kuphumele ngaphandle, kuhlambulula ukudla konke.
Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?
20 Wasesithi: Okuphumayo emuntwini, yikho okungcolisa umuntu.
And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.
21 Ngoba kuphuma ngaphakathi enhliziyweni yabantu imicabango emibi, ukuphinga, ukufeba, ukubulala,
For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 ukweba, ubuhwaba, ukuxhwala, inkohliso, amanyala, ilihlo elibi, inhlamba, ukuzigqaja, ubuthutha;
Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
23 zonke lezizinto ezimbi zivela ngaphakathi, zimngcolise umuntu.
All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
24 Wasesukuma lapho waya emikhawulweni yeTire leSidoni. Wangena endlini, engathandi ukuthi kwaziwe muntu, kodwa wayengelakufihlakala.
And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know it: but he could not be hid.
25 Ngoba owesifazana, olentombazana yakhe elomoya ongcolileyo, esezwile ngaye, weza wawa phansi enyaweni zakhe;
For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:
26 njalo owesifazana wayengumGriki, engumSirofenike ngokuzalwa; wasemncenga ukuthi akhuphe idimoni endodakazini yakhe.
The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.
27 Kodwa uJesu wathi kuye: Ake kusuthe abantwana kuqala; ngoba kakukuhle ukuthatha isinkwa sabantwana sisiphosele izinjana.
But Yahushua said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs.
28 Kodwa waphendula wathi kuye: Yebo, Nkosi; kodwa lezinjana ezingaphansi kwetafula ziyadla imvuthuluka yabantwana.
And she answered and said unto him, Yes, master: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.
29 Wasesithi kuye: Ngenxa yalokhukutsho hamba-ke; idimoni liphumile endodakazini yakho.
And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.
30 Wasesuka waya endlini yakhe, wafica idimoni seliphumile, lendodakazi ilele embhedeni.
And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.
31 Wasebuya wasuka emikhawulweni yeTire leSidoni, weza elwandle lweGalili, phakathi kwemikhawulo yeDikapolisi.
And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.
32 Basebeletha kuye isacuthe esigagasayo, bamncenga ukuthi abeke isandla sakhe phezu kwaso.
And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him.
33 Wasesikhupha exukwini sabasodwa, wafaka iminwe yakhe endlebeni zaso, wakhafula wathinta ulimi lwaso,
And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;
34 ekhangela phezulu ezulwini, wabubula, wathi kuso: "Efatha"; okuyikuthi: Vulwa!
And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.
35 Njalo zahle zavulwa indlebe zaso; yasithukululwa intambo yolimi lwaso, sasesikhuluma saqonda.
And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.
36 Wasebalaya ukuthi bangatsheli muntu; kodwa lanxa wayebalayile kakhulu, kwang'khona bekumemezela ngamandla.
And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it;
37 Basebemangala kakhulukazi sibili, bathi: Uzenzile kuhle izinto zonke; wenza kokubili izacuthe ukuthi zizwe, lezimungulu ukuthi zikhulume.
And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
