Maarqos 7
1 Fariisotaa fi barsiistota seeraa keessaa warri Yerusaalemii dhufan tokko tokko Yesuus biratti walitti qabamanii
Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus,
2 barattoota isaa keessaa tokko tokko harka, “Hin qulqulleeffaminiin” jechuunis utuu harka hin dhiqatin buddeena nyaachuu isaanii argan.
and they saw some of His disciples eating with hands that were defiled—that is, unwashed.
3 Sababiin isaas Fariisonni, Yihuudoonni hundinuus duudhaa maanguddootaa eeguuf jedhanii utuu harka hin dhiqatin hin nyaataniitii.
Now in holding to the tradition of the elders, the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat until they wash their hands ceremonially.
4 Yommuu gabaadhaa galanittis utuu of hin qulqulleessin hin nyaatan. Dudhaa biraa baayʼees kan akka xoofoo dhiquu, okkotee fi huuroo dhiquu ni eegu.
And on returning from the market, they do not eat unless they wash. And there are many other traditions for them to observe, including the washing of cups, pitchers, kettles, and couches for dining.
5 Kanaafuu Fariisonnii fi barsiistonni seeraa, “Barattoonni kee qooda harka ‘Hin qulqulleeffaminiin’ nyaatan maaliif akkuma duudhaa maanguddootaatti hin jiraanne?” jedhanii Yesuusin gaafatan.
So the Pharisees and scribes questioned Jesus: “Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders? Instead, they eat with defiled hands.”
6 Innis akkana jedhee deebise; “Yaa fakkeessitoota, Isaayyaas yommuu waaʼee keessan raajii dubbatetti sirrii ture; kunis akkuma akkana jedhamee barreeffamee dha: “‘Uumanni kun hidhii isaatiin na kabaja; garaan isaa garuu narraa fagoo jira.
Jesus answered them, “Isaiah prophesied correctly about you hypocrites, as it is written: ‘These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me.
7 Isaan akkanumaan na waaqeffatu; barsiisni isaaniis sirnuma namaa ti.’
They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’
8 Isin ajaja Waaqaa dhiiftanii, duudhaa namootaa jabeessitanii eegdu.”
You have disregarded the commandment of God to keep the tradition of men.”
9 Innis ittuma fufee akkana jedheen; “Isin duudhaa ofii keessanii eeguuf jettanii ajaja Waaqaa tuffachuuf mala gaarii qabdu!
He went on to say, “You neatly set aside the command of God to maintain your own tradition.
10 Museen, ‘Abbaa keetii fi haadha keetiif ulfina kenni; namni abbaa isaa yookaan haadha isaa arrabsu kam iyyuu haa ajjeefamu’jedheeraatii.
For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’ and ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’
11 Isin garuu yoo namni kam iyyuu akka wanni silaa abbaa isaa yookaan haadha isaa gargaaruuf oolu Qurbaana jechuunis Waaqaaf kennameera jedhee dubbate,
But you say that if a man says to his father or mother, ‘Whatever you would have received from me is Corban’ (that is, a gift devoted to God),
12 isin akka inni abbaa isaatiif yookaan haadha isaatiif waan tokko illee godhu siʼachi hin eeyyamtaniif.
he is no longer permitted to do anything for his father or mother.
13 Akkanaanis duudhaa keessan isa walitti dabarsitan sanaan dubbii Waaqaa busheessitu. Waan akkanaa baayʼees ni hojjetu.”
Thus you nullify the word of God by the tradition you have handed down. And you do so in many such matters.”
14 Yesuus ammas namoota sana ofitti waamee akkana jedheen; “Isin hundi na dhagaʼaa; kanas hubadhaa.
Once again Jesus called the crowd to Him and said, “All of you, listen to Me and understand:
15 Waan nama keessaa baʼutu nama ‘xureessa’ malee wanni alaa namatti seenee nama ‘xureessuu’ dandaʼu tokko iyyuu hin jiru. [
Nothing that enters a man from the outside can defile him; but the things that come out of a man, these are what defile him.”
16 Namni kam iyyuu yoo gurra dhagaʼu qabaate haa dhagaʼu.”]
17 Erga inni namoota biraa mana ol seenee booddee barattoonni isaa waaʼee fakkeenya sanaa isa gaafatan.
After Jesus had left the crowd and gone into the house, His disciples inquired about the parable.
18 Innis akkana jedhee gaafate; “Isin hin hubattanii? Akka wanni alaa namatti seenu tokko iyyuu nama ‘xureessuu’ hin dandeenye hin qalbeeffattanii?
“Are you still so dull?” He asked. “Do you not understand? Nothing that enters a man from the outside can defile him,
19 Wanni sun garaa isaa seenee ergasii dhagna isaa keessaa gad baʼa malee yaada garaaisaa hin seenuutii.” Yesuusis kana jechuudhaan akka nyaanni hundinuu qulqulluu taʼe labse.
because it does not enter his heart, but it goes into the stomach and then is eliminated.” (Thus all foods are clean.)
20 Innis itti fufee akkana jedhe: “Wanni nama ‘xureessu’ waan nama keessaa baʼuu dha.
He continued: “What comes out of a man, that is what defiles him.
21 Yaadni hamaan keessa namaatii, garaa namaa keessaa baʼaatii; innis halalummaa, hanna, nama ajjeesuu, ejja,
For from within the hearts of men come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,
22 doqnummaa, hammina, gowwoomsaa, jireenya gad dhiisii, hinaaffaa, maqaa nama balleessuu, of tuulummaa fi gowwummaa.
greed, wickedness, deceit, debauchery, envy, slander, arrogance, and foolishness.
23 Wantoonni hamoon kunneen hundinuu nama keessaa baʼu; namas ‘ni xureessu.’”
All these evils come from within, and these are what defile a man.”
24 Yesuus iddoo sanaa kaʼee aanaa Xiiroositti qajeele. Mana tokkos ol seene; innis akka namni tokko iyyuu achi jiraachuu isaa beeku hin barbaanne; garuu dhokachuu hin dandeenye.
Jesus left that place and went to the region of Tyre. Not wanting anyone to know He was there, He entered a house, but was unable to escape their notice.
25 Dubartiin intalli ishee hafuura xuraaʼaan qabamte tokko akkuma waaʼee isaa dhageesseen dhuftee miilla isaa irratti kufte.
Instead, a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit soon heard about Jesus, and she came and fell at His feet.
26 Dubartittiinis nama Giriik, kan biyya Sooriyaa keessatti Finiiqeetti dhalatee dha. Isheen akka inni intala ishee keessaa hafuura hamaa sana baasuuf Yesuusin kadhatte.
Now she was a Greek woman of Syrophoenician origin, and she kept asking Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter.
27 Innis, “Dura ijoolleen haa quuftu; buddeena ijoollee fuudhanii saroota dura buusuun sirrii miti” jedheen.
“First let the children have their fill,” He said. “For it is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”
28 Isheen garuu, “Eeyyee yaa Gooftaa, saroonni iyyuu maaddii jalaa hambaa ijoolleen harcaaftu nyaatuu” jettee deebifteef.
“Yes, Lord,” she replied, “even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”
29 Yesuusis, “Jecha kee kanaaf gali; hafuurri hamaan sun intala kee keessaa baʼeera” jedheen.
Then Jesus told her, “Because of this answer, you may go. The demon has left your daughter.”
30 Isheenis yommuu manatti galtetti intalli ishee siree irra ciiftee, hafuurri hamaan sunis keessaa baʼee argatte.
And she went home and found her child lying on the bed, and the demon was gone.
31 Ergasiis Yesuus biyya Xiiroosiitii kaʼee Siidoonaa keessa darbee, kutaa Magaalaa Kurnanii keessa baʼee gara galaana Galiilaa dhufe.
Then Jesus left the region of Tyre and went through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee and into the region of the Decapolis.
32 Jarri tokkos namicha gurra duudaa fi arrab-didaa tokko isatti fidanii akka inni harka isa irra kaaʼuuf kadhatan.
Some people brought to Him a man who was deaf and hardly able to speak, and they begged Jesus to place His hand on him.
33 Yesuusis namicha sana tuuta keessaa kophaatti baasee quba isaa gurra namichaa keessa kaaʼe. Hancufa tufees arraba namichaa tuqe.
So Jesus took him aside privately, away from the crowd, and put His fingers into the man’s ears. Then He spit and touched the man’s tongue.
34 Gara samiis ol ilaalee, hafuura guddaa baafatee, “Eftaah!” jedheen; kana jechuunis “Banami!” jechuu dha.
And looking up to heaven, He sighed deeply and said to him, “Ephphatha!” (which means, “Be opened!”).
35 Gurri namichaas yommusuma baname; arrabni isaas hiikamee rakkina tokko malee dubbachuu jalqabe.
Immediately the man’s ears were opened and his tongue was released, and he began to speak plainly.
36 Yesuusis akka isaan nama tokkotti illee hin himneef namoota sana ajaje. Hammuma inni cimsee isaan ajaje sana, isaanis ittuma caalchisanii odeessan.
Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone. But the more He ordered them, the more widely they proclaimed it.
37 Warri oduu sana dhagaʼanis akka malee dinqifatanii, “Inni waan hunda gaarii godheera; warri duudaanis akka dhagaʼan, warri arrabni isaanii dubbachuu dides akka dubbatan ni godha” jedhan.
The people were utterly astonished and said, “He has done all things well! He makes even the deaf hear and the mute speak!”
