Mariku 7
1 Mafalisayu wamu na wafunda wa Malagaliru wawaweriti wankulawa Yerusalemu walivaga pawamzyengeta Yesu.
Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus,
2 Wawona wafundwa wamu wa Yesu wankuliya shiboga kwa mawoku mahumba, yani wagulula ndiri mawoku gawu ntambu ya ifiruwiti.
and they saw some of His disciples eating with hands that were defiled—that is, unwashed.
3 Toziya Mafalisayu na Wayawudi woseri waliya ndiri shiboga mpaka wagululi mawoku gawu ntambu ya wamaniti, wakoliti shitiba sha wazewi wau.
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 Pawalawa mumasoku waliya ndiri shintu shoseri mpaka washigululi huti ntambu ya wavimani. Vira vilii wakoliti vitiba vimonga, gambira vilii kugulula lutekeru, viwiga na vyombu vya shaba.
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 Su Mafalisayu na wafunda wa Malagaliru wamkosiya Yesu, “Ntambu gaa wafundwa waku wakola ndiri vitiba vya wambuyi wawu, ira womberi waliya kwa mawoku mahumbu?”
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 Yesu kawankula, “Isaya katungiti weri, mwenga mwawafyangu, gambira ntambu yakalembiti, ‘Wantu awa, wanjimira kwa visoweru hera, kumbiti mumyoyu mwau, wapatali na neni.
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 Kuntambikira kwawu kunfaa ndiri mana wafunda vitiba vya wantu hera gambira malagaliru ga Mlungu.’”
They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’
8 “Mwenga mugaleka malagaliru ga Mlungu na kukola vitiba vyenu.”
You have disregarded the commandment of God to keep the tradition of men.”
9 Yesu kendeleyiti kutakula, “Mwenga mulihola muherepa, kumbiti mugalema malagaliru ga Mlungu su muvikoli vitiba vyenu.
He went on to say, “You neatly set aside the command of God to maintain your own tradition.
10 Mana Musa kamuiti, ‘Guwapanani ligoya tati gwaku na mawu gwaku.’ Kayi katakuliti ‘muntu yoseri yanakahigiranga tati ama mawu, muntu ayu hawamlagi.’
For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’ and ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’
11 Kumbiti mwenga mfunda, gambira muntu kana shintu sha kuwatanga tati ama mawu gwakuwi, kumbiti katakula shintu ashi ‘Kolibani’ yani mafupu kwa Mlungu,
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 su mutakula kalazimika ndiri kuwatanga tati gwakuwi ama mawu gwakuwi.
he is no longer permitted to do anything for his father or mother.
13 Su, kwa ntambu ayi mbeziya shisoweru sha Mlungu kwajili ya mafundu gamwankana. Kayi mtenda vitwatira vivuwa vya ntambu ayi.”
Thus you nullify the word of God by the tradition you have handed down. And you do so in many such matters.”
14 Yesu kalishema kayi lipinga lilii lya wantu. Kawagambira, “Mpikiniri woseri, muvimani.
Once again Jesus called the crowd to Him and said, “All of you, listen to Me and understand:
15 Kwahera shintu shashimwingira muntu shashiweza kumtenda kaweri muhumba. Kumbiti shashimlawa muntu ashi ndo shashimtenda muntu kaweri muhumba.
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 Muntu pakana makutu, kapikaniri.”
17 Pakalilekiti lipinga lya wantu na kwingira mnumba, wafundwa wakuwi wamkosiya mana ya mfanu wakatakuliti.
After Jesus had left the crowd and gone into the house, His disciples inquired about the parable.
18 Yesu kawagambira, “Hashi, ata mwenga mwelewa ndiri? Hashi muvimana ndiri handa shintu shashimwingira muntu kulawa kunja, shimtenda ndiri muntu kaweri muhumba,
“Are you still so dull?” He asked. “Do you not understand? Nothing that enters a man from the outside can defile him,
19 Toziya shimwingira ndiri mumoyu, kumbiti shingira mumtima, shakapanu shilawa kunja munshimba?” Kwa kutakula hangu, Yesu kavipungiti viboga vyoseri.
because it does not enter his heart, but it goes into the stomach and then is eliminated.” (Thus all foods are clean.)
20 Kendereyiti kulonga, “Shashilawa munshimba mwamuntu ndo shimtenda kaweri muhumba.
He continued: “What comes out of a man, that is what defiles him.
21 Toziya mumoyu mwa muntu mulawa maholu madoda na kumbinta na shimpegu na ulagaji shakapanu
For from within the hearts of men come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,
22 uhumba na lwaliya na vidoda na upyotu na utindira na weya na mayigilangu na shinika na lipungasesi.
greed, wickedness, deceit, debauchery, envy, slander, arrogance, and foolishness.
23 Madoda aga goseri galawa munshimba mwa muntu, ndo hagamtendi muntu kaweri muhumba.”
All these evils come from within, and these are what defile a man.”
24 Yesu kawuka paliya, kagenda mulushi lwa Tiru. Aku kingira mnumba na kafiriti ndiri muntu yoseri kavimani, kumbiti kaweziti ndiri kulififa.
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 Paniti mdala yumu mweni muhinga gwakuwi kaweriti na shamshera, kapikaniriti visoweru vya Yesu. Palaa paliya kiza kamsuntamalira pamagulu pakuwi.
Instead, a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit soon heard about Jesus, and she came and fell at His feet.
26 Mdala ayu kaweriti Mgiriki, mwenikaya gwa Silofainiki. Su kamluwa Yesu kamlavii muhinga gwakuwi shamshera kadoda.
Now she was a Greek woman of Syrophoenician origin, and she kept asking Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter.
27 Yesu kamgambira, “Guleki huti wana wikuti. Kwa mana iherepa ndiri kutola shiboga sha wana na kuwasila wang'ang'a.”
“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 Kumbiti mdala uliya kamwankula, “Nyina Mtuwa, kumbiti ata wang'ang'a wapasi pameza waliya shiboga shawalekiti wana!”
“Yes, Lord,” she replied, “even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”
29 Yesu kamgambira, “Toziya ya shisoweru ashi shagulongiti, gugendi ukaya, haguwoni shamshera kamlawa muhinga gwaku!”
Then Jesus told her, “Because of this answer, you may go. The demon has left your daughter.”
30 Su kagenda ukaya kwakuwi, kamwona mwana kagonja mshitanda na shamshera kamlawiti kala.
And she went home and found her child lying on the bed, and the demon was gone.
31 Shakapanu Yesu kawuka mulushi lwa Tiru, kapitira Sidoni, kasoka litanda Galilaya kwa kupitira mukowa lushi lilongu.
Then Jesus left the region of Tyre and went through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee and into the region of the Decapolis.
32 Su wamjegera muntu kana majogu viraa ka bubu, wamluwa kamtulili mawoku.
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 Yesu kamtura kutali na wantu. Katula vyala vyakuwi mmakutu mwa muntu uliya. Katema mata na kumshinkula lulimi.
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 Shakapanu kalola kumpindi kwa Mlungu, kapumula na kumgambira, “Efata,” mana yakuwi, “Guvuguki!”
And looking up to heaven, He sighed deeply and said to him, “Ephphatha!” (which means, “Be opened!”).
35 Mala makutu gakuwi gavuguka na lulimi lwakuwi luyoposoka, kanja kutakula nweri.
Immediately the man’s ears were opened and his tongue was released, and he began to speak plainly.
36 Yesu kawabeliziya nawamgambiziya muntu yoseri vitwatira avi. Kumbiti ntambu yakawabeleriti, ndo ntambu yawendereyiti kubwera shisoweru ashi.
Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone. But the more He ordered them, the more widely they proclaimed it.
37 Wantu walikangasha nentu. Watakula, “Katenda vyoseri viheri, kawatenda wanamajogu kupikinira na bubu kutakula!”
The people were utterly astonished and said, “He has done all things well! He makes even the deaf hear and the mute speak!”
