Mareko 7
1 Ka letsatsi lengwe baeteledipele bangwe ba tumelo ya Sejuta ba tla kwa go ene ba tswa kwa Jerusalema go tla go mo tlhotlhomisa,
And there came together to him the Pharisees, and some of the scribes, who had come from Jerusalem:
2 ba lemoga gore bangwe ba barutwa ba gagwe ga ba diragatse mekgwa ya bone e e tlwaelesegileng ya Sejuta pele ga ba a ja.
and when they saw some of his disciples eating bread with common, that is, with unwashed hands:
3 Gonne Bajuta, segolo jang Bafarasai, ga ba ka ke ba a ja pele ga ba tlhapa diatla tsa bone go fitlha mo dikgonong, jaaka go tlhokafala ka dingwao tsa bone tsa bogologolo.
(for the Pharisees and all the Jews eat not, unless they wash their hands carefully, because they hold the tradition of the elders:
4 Jalo fa ba tla gae ba tswa marekelong ba tshwanetse go tlhapa ka mokgwa oo pele ga ba ka ama dijo. Se ke sengwe sa dikai tse dintsi tsa melao e e tlwaelesegileng e ba saleng ba e ngaparela ka dingwaga di le dintsi e sa ntse e tsweletse e dirisiwa, fela jaaka tlwaelo ya bone ya go tlhatswa dipitsa le senwelo le dijana tse di jelang.
and when they come from the market, they do not eat, unless they immerse themselves. And there are many other things, which they have received to hold, as the immersion of cups and pitchers and brazen vessels and beds: )
5 Hong baeteledipele ba tumelo ba mmotsa ba re, “Ke ka ntlha yang fa barutwa ba gago ba sa latele ngwao ya rona ya bogologolo? Gonne ba ja pele ga ba tlhapa.”
then the Pharisees and the scribes asked him: Why do your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?
6 Mme Jesu a araba a re, “Baitemokanyi ke lona! Isaia moporofiti o lo bonye sentle fa a re, ‘Batho ba ba bua sentle ka ga Morena mme ba sa mo rate ka boammaaruri. Kobamelo ya bone ke ya dinyana, gonne ba re Modimo o laola batho go obamela melao ya bone! Ruri Isaia o ne a le boammaaruri jang!’
He answered and said to them: Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
In vain do they worship me, teaching precepts, the commandments of men.
8 Gonne lo itlhokomolosa melao ya Modimo e e tlhomameng mme mo boemong jwa moo lo tshegeditse ngwao ya lona fela.
For, neglecting the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men, the immersion of pitchers and cups; and many other things like these you do.
9 Ga re lo a tle lo gane melao ya Modimo fela lo bo lo e gataka ka dinao gore lo tle lo tshegetse ngwao ya lona.
And he said to them: Well do you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your own tradition.
10 Fela jaaka Moshe a lo neile molao o o tswang kwa Modimong; o o reng, ‘Tlotla rrago le mmago!’ Mme a re le fa e le mang yo o buang bosula ka ga rraagwe kgotsa mmaagwe o tshwanetse go swa.
For Moses said: Honor your father and your mother; and, He that curses father or mother shall surely be put to death.
11 Mme lwa re go siame fa motho a itlhokomolosa batsadi ba gagwe ba ba tlhokang, a ba raya a re, ‘Lo intshwarele, ga nkake ka lo thusa! Gonne se ke neng ke tlaa se lo naya ke se ntsheditse Modimo.’
But you say: If a man shall say to his father or mother, Whatever of mine might benefit you, is Corban, (which means, a gift, )
12 Jalo lo roba molao wa Modimo go diragatsa ngwao ya lona e e dirilweng ke batho. Mme se ke sekai se le sengwe fela. Go na le tse dingwe di le dintsi thata.”
you no longer suffer him to do any thing for his father or mother,
making the word of God of no effect by your tradition, which you have delivered; and many things like these you do.
14 Hong Jesu a bitsa bontsintsi jwa batho go tla go reetsa: A re, “A mongwe le mongwe wa lona a reetse, lo bo lo leke go tlhaloganya.
And he called the whole multitude to him, and said to them: Hear me, all of you, and understand.
15 Mewa ya lona ga e senngwe ke se lo se jang, mme e senngwa ke se lo se akanyang le se lo se buang!”
There is nothing without that, by entering into a man, can defile him. But those things which come out of the man, defile him.
If any one has ears to hear, let him hear.
17 Hong a tsena mo tlung go tswa fa bontsing jwa batho, mme barutwa ba gagwe ba mmotsa gore o rayang ka se a neng a se bolela.
And when he had gone into the house, away from the multitude, his disciples asked him about the dark saying.
18 Mme a ba botsa a re, “A le lona ga lo tlhaloganye? A ga lo bone gore se lo se jang ga se kake sa senya mewa ya lona?
And he said to them: Are you also so void of understanding? Do you not perceive that nothing from without, by entering into a man, can defile him?
19 Gonne dijo ga di amane ka gope le pelo ya gago, mme di feta fela ka mometso di ye kwa di silwang teng,” (go bua se o ne a supa fa mofuta mongwe le mongwe o na le go ka jewa.)
Because it does not enter into his heart, but into his belly, and goes out into the sink, cleansing all food.
20 Mme a nna a tswelela a re, “Ke dikakanyo fela tse di bosula tse di itshekololang.
And he said: What comes out of the man, is that which defiles the man.
21 Gonne go tswa mo dipelong tsa batho, go tswa dikakanyo tse di bosula, tsa dikeletso, bogodu, go bolaya, boaka,
For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the purposes which are evil: adulteries, lewd actions, murders,
22 go batla tse e leng tsa ba bangwe, boikepo, tsietso, maaka, dithato, bopelompe, mabela le dilo tsotlhe tsa boeleele.
thefts, schemes for extortion, wicked deeds, deceit, wantonness, an evil eye, calumny, haughtiness, impiety.
23 Mme dilo tse tsotlhe tse di bosula di tswa mo teng; ke tsone tse di go itshekololang gore o seka wa itekanela mo Modimong.”
All these evil things come forth from within, and defile the man.
24 Mme a tswa a tloga mo Galalea a tsamaya a ya kwa kgaolong ya Ture le Sidona, mme a leka go go dira sephiri sa gore o ne a le teng koo, mme ga seka ga diragala. Gonne jaaka gale, dikgang tsa kgorogo ya gagwe di ne tsa anama ka bofefo.
And he arose and departed thence to the borders of Tyre and Sidon. And he entered a house, and desired that no one should know it; but he could not escape notice.
25 Ka bonako ga tla mosadi kwa go ene yo ngwana wa gagwe o neng a na le mowa o o maswe, a utlwaletse kaga Jesu mme a tla a wela fa dinaong tsa gagwe,
For a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet;
26 mme a mo rapela gore a golole ngwana wa gagwe mo thateng ya taolo ya mowa o o maswe. (Mme a bo a le modichaba wa Se-Siria le Se-Fonishia yo o nyaditsweng!)
(the woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation, ) and she besought him to cast the demon out of her daughter.
27 Mme Jesu a mo raya a re, “Pele ke tshwanetse go thusa bagaetsho Bajuta. Ga go a siama go tsaya dijo tsa bana o di latlhelela dintsa.”
But Jesus said to her: Let the children be satisfied first; for it is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.
28 Hong mosadi a araba a re, “Go boammaaruri, Morena, le tsone dintsanyana kafa tlase ga lomati lwa bojelo di newa mafofora a a wang mo dijaneng tsa bana.”
She answered and said to him: Yes, Lord; and yet you can help me, for the little dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs.
29 Mme a mo raya a re, “Go siame! O arabile sentle mo eleng gore ke fodisitse ngwana wa gago wa mosetsana. Tsamaya o ye gae, gonne mowa o o maswe o dule mo go ene!”
And he said to her: For this saying, go your way: the demon has gone out of your daughter.
30 Mme e rile fa a tsena kwa gae, ngwana wa gagwe a bo a robetse ka tidimalo e kgolo mo bolaong, mme mowa o o maswe wa bo o tsamaile.
And she went to her house, and found the demon gone out, and her daughter lying upon the bed.
31 Mme go tswa kwa Ture a tsamaya a ya Sidona, a boela kwa lewatleng la Galalea ka tsela ya metse e le lesome.
And again he went out from the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and came to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the borders of Decapolis.
32 Ga tlisiwa kwa go ene monna yo o neng a sa utlwe e le susu a bile a kwakwaetsa, mme botlhe ba kopa Jesu gore a beye diatla tsa gagwe mo monneng yoo go mo fodisa.
And they brought to him a deaf man, who spoke with difficulty; and they besought him to lay his hand upon him.
33 Jesu a mo ntsha mo bontsing jwa batho a tsenya menwana ya gagwe mo ditsebeng tsa gagwe, a kgwa mathe a ama loleme lwa monna yoo.
And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;
34 Hong a leba kwa legodimong, a fegelwa mme a laola gore a “Kabologe!”
and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him: Ephphatha, which means, Be opened.
35 Ka bonako monna a simolola go utlwa sentle le go bua sentle ka tlhamalalo!
And immediately his ears were opened, and the band of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke plainly.
36 Mme Jesu a raya bontsi jwa batho a re ba seka ba bolelela ope, mme le fa a na a ba iditse jalo, bone ba ya ba bolela bogolo segolo.
And he charged them to tell no one; but the more he charged them, the more earnestly they published it.
37 Gonne ba ne ba gakgametse ka se se diragetseng. Gangwe le gape ba re, “Sengwe le sengwe se o se dirang ke se se gakgamatsang; o kgona gore ba ba susu ba utlwe le ba ba kwakwaetsang ba bue!”
And they were amazed beyond measure, and said: He Las done all things well: he makes the deaf hear and the dumb speak.
