Mach ave, wɨram kɨra ya Mosesɨnd injambɨr ahe sɨkahɨnd hamb, wɨram untɨm Farisind hamen awakŋi aiampɨra ohɨra Jerusalem erere Jisasɨnd pɨŋ aimŋgɨmar.

One day the Pharisees and some of the teachers of the Law who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus.
They had noticed that some of his disciples ate their food with their hands ‘defiled,’ by which they meant unwashed.
(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.
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 Avɨz mbɨ Jisasɨh amarɨmŋgɨmar. Utɨndɨv amakɨr sezarɨv nchonjɨrɨnd enta han mpehɨromah ramŋgi arɨmŋgɨmar. Mbɨ mbɨndɨŋ omanampɨra ŋoz usi mɨnamŋgɨm ave mbɨ Yakŋ Ohɨrand ampɨn insɨŋ enta kɨvahɨnsɨnd ñi namŋgɨj arɨmŋgɨmar.
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 Az Jisasɨv ndɨŋ kamar. Andɨŋ wɨram kɨra yosand amar. Amɨ ya imbɨr akŋ kamŋgɨrɨnaŋg, kɨrɨm amɨ ya kehan mɨmpehɨromŋgɨrɨm amar. Aisaiah, wɨram Yakŋ Ohɨrand ya injambɨr ahe kahɨnd hamb, mbɨ andɨŋndɨv mɨŋun kamar amar. Yakŋ Ohɨrav Aisaiah kaz ya mbɨkɨr han njɨhame hanave mpamar. Osa anchɨ kehamb ihɨnd ensa han mbɨndɨŋ karupɨrɨŋon mamah ŋambiahamŋgɨj arar mpamar amar. Kɨrɨm mbɨ mbɨndɨŋ mpɨ han yandɨv meŋgwamŋgɨrɨm arar mpamar amar.
His answer was, “It was well said by Isaiah when he prophesied about you hypocrites in the words – ‘This is a people who honor me with their lips, while their hearts are far removed from me;
7 Mbɨ wɨramɨnd entaŋam sɨkamŋgɨj arar mpamar amar. Ave mban Yakŋ Ohɨrand enta arar kamŋgɨj arar mpamar amar. Ave mbɨ handɨv ihɨnd ensa han mamah oreŋgeŋg yan ŋambiahamŋgɨj arar mpamar amar.
but vainly do they worship me, For they teach but human precepts.’
8 Amɨ Yakŋ Ohɨrand enta han erere wɨramɨnd entaŋam aŋkarɨpɨr mpehɨromŋgɨrɨn amar.
You neglect God’s commandments and hold to human traditions.
9 Mach, Jisasɨv mbahon kamar. Amandɨŋ entaŋam mpehɨroŋɨn are, amɨ handɨv Yakŋ Ohɨrand enta han ontamŋgɨrɨn amar.
Wisely do you set aside God’s commandments,” he exclaimed, “to keep your own traditions!
10 Mach, Mosesɨv kamar amar. Amɨ yaŋar onarɨnd kwɨŋ ñi mbɨndɨŋ njɨhiŋam ŋamb arar kamar amar. Mach, Mosesɨv mbahon kamar amar. Wɨramb mɨŋɨr wanɨrɨh ya kɨvah kandari hamb, mbɨ maz arar kamar amar.
For while Moses said ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and ‘Let anyone who abuses their father or mother suffer death,’
11 Kɨrɨm nend amar. Amɨ Yakŋ Ohɨrand ya han njɨhamɨmah re mbanave kamŋgɨrɨn amar. Wɨramb mɨŋɨr wanɨrɨh kaŋɨnj, nzɨ hanɨhan ihɨnd han ŋe andɨŋ imbɨr hɨrawɨmɨñaŋg, kɨrɨm nend arar kaŋɨnj arar kamŋgɨrɨn amar. Nzɨ hanɨhan ihɨnd han ŋe Yakŋ Ohɨra ndɨh eŋgwin arar kaŋɨnj arar kamŋgɨrɨn amar.
you say ‘If a person says to their father or mother “Whatever of mine might have been of service to you is Corban”’ (which means ‘Set apart for God’) –
12 Wɨram mbanamb hanavɨz amɨ ndɨn kamŋgɨrɨn amar. Amɨ hanɨhan amakɨr han ŋe yaŋar onar hɨrawɨmɨn arar kamŋgɨrɨn amar.
why, then you do not allow them to do anything further for their father or mother!
13 Mach, enta amɨ sɨmŋgɨrɨn hamb raz, amɨ Yakŋ Ohɨrand ya han ŋambiŋgwɨmŋgɨz, Yakŋ Ohɨrand ya hamb aŋkarɨpɨr mah amar. Amɨ enta akŋ pɨr akŋ han si wɨram emŋgemŋga han hanavav sɨkamŋgɨrɨn amar.
In this way you nullify the words of God by your traditions, which you hand down; and you do many similar things.”
14 Mach, Jisasɨv ekwaŋg wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ han oreŋgɨz aimŋgɨmar. Aimŋgɨz kamar. Amɨ mɨŋam ihɨnd ya njɨhame omanenta wavar amar.
Then Jesus called the people to him again, and said, “Listen to me, all of you, and mark my words.
15 Hanɨhan han wɨramb ŋe namŋgɨj han, wɨramb han ŋe ne wɨram kɨvah mahevakarɨndɨram amar. Njɨhi kɨvah kɨvah wɨramb njɨhamŋgɨj han, wɨramb njɨhi kehan njɨhame si wɨram kɨvah ahevakarɨndari amar.
There is nothing external to a person, which by going into them can defile them; but the things that come out of a person are the things that defile them.”
17 Mach, Jisasɨv wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ han erere oramɨŋ we ahevohe ñɨzand sezɨrɨv ndɨn ya ahɨmbɨnd ondo handɨv amarɨmŋgɨmar.
When Jesus went indoors, away from the crowd, his disciples began questioning him about this saying.
18 Az ndɨŋɨh kamar. Andɨŋez njɨhi mah oh a amar. Amɨ mɨwamŋgɨrɨm toh amar. Mɨrunsa injambɨrɨŋ ñɨz wɨramb ŋe namŋgɨj han, wɨramb han ŋe ne wɨram kɨvah mahevakarɨndɨram amar. Mɨrunsa kehamb mpɨ unchaŋ we akand empaŋam we akoramɨŋ oj amar. Ave unsa nanɨnd kehamb wɨram kɨvah mɨsɨrɨm amar. (Jisasɨnd ya ondo han mbanɨmb: Yakŋ Ohɨrav waz mɨrunsa endɨraparam nanɨnd han mbɨkɨr ampɨn insɨ han imbɨrvamun ñɨj.)
“What, do even you understand so little?” exclaimed Jesus. “Don’t you see that there is nothing external to a person, which by going into a person, can defile them,
because it does not pass into his heart, but into his stomach, and is afterward got rid of?” – in saying this Jesus pronounced all food clean.
20 Ave Jisasɨv mbahon kamar. Njɨhi kɨvah kɨvah wɨramb njɨhamŋgɨj han, wɨramb njɨhi kehan njɨhame si wɨram kɨvah ahevakarɨndari amar.
“It is what comes out from a person,” he added, “that defiles them,
21 Njɨhi kɨvah kɨvah, osamen anchɨmen ndand, akɨm ŋaŋ, wɨram mamta oror, ntichij, enta kɨvah kɨvah, wɨram yosa kahɨnd, yahɨrɨz asambar ndand, ambarawɨrɨwɨr, ya mapɨŋ kah, Yakŋ Ohɨra yarahe kah, nzonam arar kah, wɨram njɨhi mah Yakŋ Ohɨrandɨv mɨnjɨhamɨrɨm, han enta kɨvah kɨvah wɨramb njɨhamŋgɨj kehamb wɨram kɨvah sɨj amar.
for it is from within, out of the hearts of people, that there come evil thoughts – sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,
greed, wickedness, deceit, indecency, envy, slander, haughtiness, folly;
all these wicked things come from within, and do defile a person.”
24 Mach, Jisasɨv ŋaiahe isupɨr mban erere isupɨr aiampɨra Tairɨnd handɨh omar. We oram ahevohe ñi ndɨŋ erokare kamar. Wɨram emŋgavaŋg kamŋgɨmɨn amar. Jisasɨv mbah ñɨñmbɨri arar kamŋgɨmɨn amar. Kɨrɨm nend. Osa anchɨ hamb Jisasɨv oramɨŋ ñɨmar han, han wamŋgɨmar.
On leaving that place, Jesus went to the district of Tyre and Sidon. He went into a house, and did not wish anyone to know it, but could not escape notice.
25 Mach, anchɨ emŋga nanch mbɨkɨr han itɨ kɨvahɨnsɨnd hamb Jisasɨv ñɨmar han njɨhamɨmar. Anchɨ kehan untɨm Judand mah. Ndɨn untɨm Fonisiand isupɨr Siriand. Az mach, pams haŋon mbɨ Jisasɨnd pɨŋ ai andamesa mpɨrorɨzɨŋgwɨmar. Ave mbɨ Jisasɨh amarɨmar. Itɨ kɨvah hamb ihɨnd nanchɨŋ ŋgɨŋe awarohe ñɨñmbɨri amar. Amɨ itɨ kɨvah han kiaŋgwɨn ihɨnd nanch han erere etoz amar.
For a woman, whose little daughter had a foul spirit in her, heard of him immediately, and came and threw herself at his feet –
the woman was a foreigner, from Syrian Phoenicia – and she begged him to drive the demon out of her daughter.
27 Avɨz Jisasɨv ndɨn kamar. Arɨ nornanchɨnd unsa han ŋe uvi nor han meŋkwanarɨm amar. Arɨ nornanch ŋoz unsa han eŋkwanararɨŋ amar.
“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 Avɨz mbɨ Jisasɨh mbɨŋ ke kamar. Wɨram Ohɨra, han mɨŋun amar. Kɨrɨm uvi nor hambez antɨm kwɨŋ ñi unsa ekeka nornanchɨv hɨrɨzɨŋgamŋgɨj han namŋgɨjaŋg amar.
“Yes, Master,” she replied. “Even the dogs under the table do feed on the children’s crumbs.”
29 Az Jisasɨv kamar. Amɨ ya han imbɨrun kan amar. Handɨv itɨ kɨvah hamb nancharɨh ndɨh ereri amar. Amɨ ekwaŋg ov amar.
“For saying that,” he answered, “you may go. The demon has gone out of your daughter.”
30 Hanave kaz anchɨ mbanamb mbɨkɨr oramɨŋ ekwaŋg we waz itɨ kɨvah hamb etoz, nanchɨrɨv antɨmɨŋ ŋgañɨmar.
The woman went home, and found the child lying on her bed, and the demon gone.
31 Mach, Jisasɨv isupɨr aiampɨra Tairɨnd erere ekwaŋg we aiampɨra Saidon ahevakarɨmar. Ahevakare avɨhohe isupɨr ohɨra Dekapolis uhɨmɨŋun akoke yamb ohɨra ondɨhondɨh Galilind ahevakarɨmar.
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 Ahevakare handɨh ñɨzand wɨram emŋgemŋga hamb wɨram njemɨn kɨvahɨnsɨnd han ŋe ndɨn hɨraimŋgɨmar. Mbɨ ya hɨreŋɨnd kanj. Mach, mbɨ wɨram kehan hɨrai Jisasɨh ndɨn omanaka insɨŋ ŋgamamɨndɨv mbahon mbahon amarɨmŋgɨmar.
Some people brought to him a man who was deaf and almost dumb, and they begged Jesus to place his hand on him.
33 Avɨz Jisasɨv wɨram mban ŋe osa anchɨ han erere hɨrohe, mbon ikumun ñɨmŋgɨmar. Ñɨmŋgɨz Jisasɨv omanamp mbɨkɨr han njemɨn ŋkiŋg ŋkiŋg sɨhoŋamar. Sɨhoŋe omanamp mbɨkɨr han mpɨñ atazivi wɨram mband zɨhina han mparɨwamar.
Jesus took him aside from the crowd quietly, put his fingers into the man’s ears, and touched his tongue with saliva.
34 Mach, Jisasɨv ñaŋ sɨhawarohe wɨr aŋkarɨpɨr savɨzɨŋgwi ndɨn kamar. Efata amar. (Jisasɨnd ya mbanand ondo han mbanɨmb: njemɨn uyaki amar.)
Then, looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to the man, “Ephphatha!” which means ‘Be opened.’
35 Hanave kaz njemɨn mbɨkɨr hamb uyakaz zɨhina mbɨkɨr hamb imbɨr raz, ya omanenta kamar.
The man’s ears were opened, the string of his tongue was freed, and he began to talk plainly.
36 Avɨz Jisasɨv osa anchɨ han erokare kamar. Wɨram emŋgemŋga kamŋgɨmɨn amar. Az nend. Jisasɨv ndɨŋ erokarɨzaŋg, osa anchɨ hamb ya aŋkarɨpɨr kampɨhe Jisasɨv utuhutuh sɨmar handɨv kamŋgɨmar.
Jesus insisted on their not telling anyone; but the more he insisted, the more perseveringly they made it known,
37 Ave ndɨŋ zɨŋɨmb aŋkarɨpɨr pɨrorɨŋgaz kamŋgɨmar. Aia arɨmŋgɨmar. Jisasɨv utuhutuh omanenta raj arɨmŋgɨmar. Njemɨn kɨvahɨnsɨnd han, Jisasɨv ndɨŋ omanenta sɨz mbɨ njɨhamŋgɨj arɨmŋgɨmar. Ave karupɨr mahɨnsɨnd han, Jisasɨv ndɨŋez omanenta sɨz mbɨ kamŋgɨj arɨmŋgɨmar.
and a profound impression was made on the people. “He has done everything well!” they exclaimed. “He makes even the deaf hear and the dumb speak!”
