Now the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem were gathered around Jesus.
2 tE tasya kiyataH ziSyAn azucikarairarthAda aprakSAlitahastai rbhunjjatO dRSTvA tAnadUSayan|
When they saw some of his disciples eating bread with hands that were defiled (that is, unwashed), they criticized them.
3 yataH phirUzinaH sarvvayihUdIyAzca prAcAM paramparAgatavAkyaM sammanya pratalEna hastAn aprakSAlya na bhunjjatE|
(For none of the Pharisees or Jews eat unless they wash their hands properly, holding to the tradition of the elders.
4 ApanAdAgatya majjanaM vinA na khAdanti; tathA pAnapAtrANAM jalapAtrANAM pittalapAtrANAm AsanAnAnjca jalE majjanam ityAdayOnyEpi bahavastESAmAcArAH santi|
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 tE phirUzinO'dhyApakAzca yIzuM papracchuH, tava ziSyAH prAcAM paramparAgatavAkyAnusArENa nAcarantO'prakSAlitakaraiH kutO bhujaMtE?
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?”

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 zikSayantO bidhIn nnAjnjA bhajantE mAM mudhaiva tE|
They worship me in vain, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’
8 yUyaM jalapAtrapAnapAtrAdIni majjayantO manujaparamparAgatavAkyaM rakSatha kintu IzvarAjnjAM laMghadhvE; aparA IdRzyOnEkAH kriyA api kurudhvE|
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 anyanjcAkathayat yUyaM svaparamparAgatavAkyasya rakSArthaM spaSTarUpENa IzvarAjnjAM lOpayatha|
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 yatO mUsAdvArA prOktamasti svapitarau sammanyadhvaM yastu mAtaraM pitaraM vA durvvAkyaM vakti sa nitAntaM hanyatAM|
For Moses said, ‘Honor yoʋr father and yoʋr mother,’ and, ‘Whoever speaks evil of his father or mother must surely die.’
11 kintu madIyEna yEna dravyENa tavOpakArObhavat tat karbbANamarthAd IzvarAya nivEditam idaM vAkyaM yadi kOpi pitaraM mAtaraM vA vakti
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 tarhi yUyaM mAtuH pitu rvOpakAraM karttAM taM vArayatha|
“In this way you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or his mother,
13 itthaM svapracAritaparamparAgatavAkyEna yUyam IzvarAjnjAM mudhA vidhadvvE, IdRzAnyanyAnyanEkAni karmmANi kurudhvE|
thus nullifying the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many similar things such as these.”

Then Jesus called over the entire crowd and said to them, “Listen to me, all of you, and understand:
15 bAhyAdantaraM pravizya naramamEdhyaM karttAM zaknOti IdRzaM kimapi vastu nAsti, varam antarAd bahirgataM yadvastu tanmanujam amEdhyaM karOti|
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.
16 yasya zrOtuM zrOtrE staH sa zRNOtu|
If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”
17 tataH sa lOkAn hitvA gRhamadhyaM praviSTastadA ziSyAstadRSTAntavAkyArthaM papracchuH|
After Jesus had left the crowd and gone into a house, his disciples asked him about the parable.

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?
19 tat tadantarna pravizati kintu kukSimadhyaM pravizati zESE sarvvabhuktavastugrAhiNi bahirdEzE niryAti|
For it does not go into his heart but into his stomach; then it goes out into the latrine, thus purifying all foods.”
20 aparamapyavAdId yannarAnnirEti tadEva naramamEdhyaM karOti|
He also said, “It is what comes out of a person that defiles a person.
21 yatO'ntarAd arthAn mAnavAnAM manObhyaH kucintA parastrIvEzyAgamanaM
For from within, from the hearts of men, come evil thoughts, adultery, fornication, murder,
22 naravadhazcauryyaM lObhO duSTatA pravanjcanA kAmukatA kudRSTirIzvaranindA garvvastama ityAdIni nirgacchanti|
theft, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, and foolishness.
23 EtAni sarvvANi duritAnyantarAdEtya naramamEdhyaM kurvvanti|
All these evil things come from within and defile a person.”

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 yataH suraphainikIdEzIyayUnAnIvaMzOdbhavastriyAH kanyA bhUtagrastAsIt| sA strI tadvArttAM prApya tatsamIpamAgatya taccaraNayOH patitvA
For a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit heard about him and came and fell at his feet.
26 svakanyAtO bhUtaM nirAkarttAM tasmin vinayaM kRtavatI|
(This woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by birth.) She asked Jesus to cast the demon out of her daughter.
27 kintu yIzustAmavadat prathamaM bAlakAstRpyantu yatO bAlakAnAM khAdyaM gRhItvA kukkurEbhyO nikSEpO'nucitaH|
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 tadA sA strI tamavAdIt bhOH prabhO tat satyaM tathApi manjcAdhaHsthAH kukkurA bAlAnAM karapatitAni khAdyakhaNPAni khAdanti|
She answered him, “Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs.”
29 tataH sO'kathayad EtatkathAhEtOH sakuzalA yAhi tava kanyAM tyaktvA bhUtO gataH|
Then he said to her, “Because of this reply, yoʋ may go; the demon has come out of yoʋr daughter.”
30 atha sA strI gRhaM gatvA kanyAM bhUtatyaktAM zayyAsthitAM dadarza|
And when she went to her house, she found the demon gone and her daughter lying in bed.
31 punazca sa sOrasIdOnpurapradEzAt prasthAya dikApalidEzasya prAntarabhAgEna gAlIljaladhEH samIpaM gatavAn|
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 tadA lOkairEkaM badhiraM kadvadanjca naraM tannikaTamAnIya tasya gAtrE hastamarpayituM vinayaH kRtaH|
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 tatO yIzu rlOkAraNyAt taM nirjanamAnIya tasya karNayOggulI rdadau niSThIvaM dattvA ca tajjihvAM pasparza|
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 anantaraM svargaM nirIkSya dIrghaM nizvasya tamavadat itaphataH arthAn muktO bhUyAt|
And looking up to heaven, he sighed and said to him, “Ephphatha” (that is, “Be opened”).
35 tatastatkSaNaM tasya karNau muktau jihvAyAzca jAPyApagamAt sa suspaSTavAkyamakathayat|
Immediately the man's ears were opened, the impediment of his tongue was removed, and he began speaking clearly.
36 atha sa tAn vAPhamityAdidEza yUyamimAM kathAM kasmaicidapi mA kathayata, kintu sa yati nyaSEdhat tE tati bAhulyEna prAcArayan;
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 tE'ticamatkRtya parasparaM kathayAmAsuH sa badhirAya zravaNazaktiM mUkAya ca kathanazaktiM dattvA sarvvaM karmmOttamarUpENa cakAra|
And they were completely astonished, saying, “He has done all things well. He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.”
