Now the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem were gathered around Jesus.
2
When they saw some of his disciples eating bread with hands that were defiled (that is, unwashed), they criticized them.
3
(For none of the Pharisees or Jews eat unless they wash their hands properly, holding to the tradition of the elders.
4
And when they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they have washed. There are also many other traditions they observe, such as the washing of cups, pots, copper vessels, and dining couches.)
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.
Now the Pharisees and the scribes asked Jesus, “Why do yoʋr disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed 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.
He answered them, “Isaiah prophesied rightly about you hypocrites, as it is written, ‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far 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.
They worship me in vain, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’
8 Amɨ Yakŋ Ohɨrand enta han erere wɨramɨnd entaŋam aŋkarɨpɨr mpehɨromŋgɨrɨn amar.
For you have neglected the commandment of God and are holding to the tradition of men, such as various washings of pots and cups. And you do many other similar things such as these.”
9 Mach, Jisasɨv mbahon kamar. Amandɨŋ entaŋam mpehɨroŋɨn are, amɨ handɨv Yakŋ Ohɨrand enta han ontamŋgɨrɨn amar.
Then he said to them, “You have a fine way of setting aside the commandment of God so that you may keep your tradition!
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 Moses said, ‘Honor yoʋr father and yoʋr mother,’ and, ‘Whoever speaks evil of his father or mother must surely die.’
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.
But you teach that it is acceptable for a man to say to his father or mother, ‘Whatever benefit yoʋ might have received from me is Corban’” (that is, a gift devoted to God).
12 Wɨram mbanamb hanavɨz amɨ ndɨn kamŋgɨrɨn amar. Amɨ hanɨhan amakɨr han ŋe yaŋar onar hɨrawɨmɨn arar kamŋgɨrɨn amar.
“In this way you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or his 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.
thus nullifying the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many similar things such as these.”
14 Mach, Jisasɨv ekwaŋg wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ han oreŋgɨz aimŋgɨmar. Aimŋgɨz kamar. Amɨ mɨŋam ihɨnd ya njɨhame omanenta wavar amar.
Then Jesus called over the entire crowd and said to them, “Listen to me, all of you, and understand:
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 outside of a person that can defile him by going into him, but the things that come out of a person are what defile him.
If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”
17 Mach, Jisasɨv wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ han erere oramɨŋ we ahevohe ñɨzand sezɨrɨv ndɨn ya ahɨmbɨnd ondo handɨv amarɨmŋgɨmar.
After Jesus had left the crowd and gone into a house, his disciples asked him about the parable.
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.)
He said to them, “So are you also without understanding? Do you not understand that whatever goes into a person from the outside cannot defile him?
For it does not go into his heart but into his stomach; then it goes out into the latrine, thus purifying all foods.”
20 Ave Jisasɨv mbahon kamar. Njɨhi kɨvah kɨvah wɨramb njɨhamŋgɨj han, wɨramb njɨhi kehan njɨhame si wɨram kɨvah ahevakarɨndari amar.
He also said, “It is what comes out of a person that defiles a person.
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 from within, from the hearts of men, come evil thoughts, adultery, fornication, murder,
theft, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, and foolishness.
All these evil things come from within and 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.
Then Jesus rose from there and went away to the region of Tyre and Sidon. He went into a house and did not want anyone to know it, yet he 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 an unclean spirit heard about him and came and fell at his feet.
(This woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by birth.) She asked Jesus to cast 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.
But Jesus said to her, “Let the children first be filled, for it is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the 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.
She answered him, “Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs under the table eat 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.
Then he said to her, “Because of this reply, yoʋ may go; the demon has come out of yoʋr daughter.”
30 Hanave kaz anchɨ mbanamb mbɨkɨr oramɨŋ ekwaŋg we waz itɨ kɨvah hamb etoz, nanchɨrɨv antɨmɨŋ ŋgañɨmar.
And when she went to her house, she found the demon gone and her daughter lying in bed.
31 Mach, Jisasɨv isupɨr aiampɨra Tairɨnd erere ekwaŋg we aiampɨra Saidon ahevakarɨmar. Ahevakare avɨhohe isupɨr ohɨra Dekapolis uhɨmɨŋun akoke yamb ohɨra ondɨhondɨh Galilind ahevakarɨmar.
Then Jesus came back from the region of Tyre and Sidon and went to the Sea of Galilee, within the region of the Decapolis.
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 deaf man who had a speech impediment, and they begged him to lay his hand on the man.
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.
So Jesus took him aside privately, away from the crowd. Then he put his fingers into the man's ears, spit, and touched the man's tongue.
34 Mach, Jisasɨv ñaŋ sɨhawarohe wɨr aŋkarɨpɨr savɨzɨŋgwi ndɨn kamar. Efata amar. (Jisasɨnd ya mbanand ondo han mbanɨmb: njemɨn uyaki amar.)
And looking up to heaven, he sighed and said to him, “Ephphatha” (that is, “Be opened”).
35 Hanave kaz njemɨn mbɨkɨr hamb uyakaz zɨhina mbɨkɨr hamb imbɨr raz, ya omanenta kamar.
Immediately the man's ears were opened, the impediment of his tongue was removed, and he began speaking clearly.
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.
Then Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone. But as much as he ordered them not to do so, they proclaimed it all the more.
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 they were completely astonished, saying, “He has done all things well. He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.”
