Mako 7
1 VaFarisi navamwe vavadzidzisi vomurayiro vakanga vauya kuJerusarema vakaungana pana Jesu
And gathered together to Him are the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, having come from Jerusalem,
2 vakaona vamwe vavadzidzi vake vachidya zvokudya namaoko akanga ane “tsvina,” ndiko kuti, asina kushambwa.
and having seen certain of His disciples with defiled hands—that is, unwashed—eating bread, they found fault;
3 VaFarisi navaJudha vose havadyi kunze kwokunge vamboshamba maoko avo, vachichengeta tsika dzavakuru.
for the Pharisees, and all the Jews, if they do not wash the hands to the wrist, do not eat, holding the tradition of the elders,
4 Pavanenge vadzoka kumusika, havadyi kunze kwokunge vashamba. Uye vanocherechedza dzimwe tsika zhinji, dzakadai sokushambidza mikombe, matende, nemidziyo yokuvirisa mvura.
and [coming] from the marketplace, if they do not immerse themselves, they do not eat; and many other things there are that they received to hold, immersions of cups, and pots, and bronze vessels, and couches.
5 Saka vaFarisi navadzidzisi vomurayiro vakabvunza Jesu vakati, “Seiko vadzidzi venyu vachirega kurarama zviri maererano netsika dzavakuru, zvavanodya zvokudya zvavo ‘namaoko ane tsvina’?”
Then the Pharisees and the scribes question Him, “Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat the bread with unwashed hands?”
6 Akapindura akati, “Isaya akataura zvakanaka paakaprofita pamusoro penyu imi vanyengeri; sezvazvakanyorwa zvichinzi: “‘Vanhu ava vanondikudza nemiromo yavo, asi mwoyo yavo iri kure neni.
And He answering said to them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy concerning you, hypocrites, as it has been written: This people honors Me with the lips, and their heart is far from Me;
7 Vanondinamata pasina; dzidziso dzavo dzinongova mirayiro inodzidziswa navanhu.’
and in vain they worship Me, teaching teachings, commands of men;
8 Makasiya mirayiro yaMwari mukachengetedza tsika dzavanhu.”
for having put away the command of God, you hold the tradition of men, immersions of pots and cups; and many other such like things you do.”
9 Uye akati kwavari, “Mune nzira chaiyo yokuisa parutivi nayo mirayiro yaMwari kuitira kuti mucherechedze tsika dzenyuwo!
And He said to them, “Well do you put away the command of God that you may keep your tradition;
10 Nokuti Mozisi akati, ‘Kudza baba vako namai vako,’ uye ‘Munhu upi zvake achatuka baba vake kana mai vake anofanira kuurayiwa.’
for Moses said, Honor your father and your mother; and, He who is speaking evil of father or mother—let him die the death;
11 Asi imi munoti, kana munhu akati kuna baba kana mai vake, ‘Rubatsiro rupi zvarwo rwamungadaro makagamuchira kubva kwandiri iKobhani’ (ndiko kuti, chipo chakapirwa kuna Mwari),
and you say, If a man may say to father or to mother, Korban (that is, a gift), [is] whatever you may be profited out of mine,
12 ipapo hamuchamuregi achiitira baba kana mai vake chinhu chipi zvacho.
and you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or for his mother,
13 Nokudaro munoparadza shoko raMwari nokuda kwetsika dzenyu dzamakachengeta kusvika zvino. Uye munoita zvinhu zvizhinji zvakadaro.”
setting aside the word of God for your tradition that you delivered; and many such like things you do.”
14 Jesu akadanazve kwaari vanhu vazhinji akati kwavari, “Nditeererei, imi mose, uye munzwisise izvi.
And having called near all the multitude, He said to them, “Listen to Me, you all, and understand;
15 Hakuna chinhu chinobva kunze ‘chinosvibisa’ munhu nokupinda maari. Asi icho chinobuda mumunhu ndicho chinoita kuti ‘asvibe.’
there is nothing from outside the man entering into him that is able to defile him, but the things coming out from him, those are the things defiling the man.
16 Kana munhu ane nzeve dzokunzwa, ngaanzwe.”
[[If any has ears to hear—let him hear.”]]
17 Zvino akati abva pavanhu vazhinji uye apinda mumba, vadzidzi vake vakamubvunza pamusoro pomufananidzo uyu.
And when He entered into a house from the multitude, His disciples were questioning Him about the allegory,
18 Akati, “Hamunzwisisi seiko? Hamuoni kuti hakuna chinhu chinopinda mumunhu chichibva kunze chinogona ‘kumusvibisa’?
and He says to them, “So also you are without understanding! Do you not perceive that nothing from outside entering into the man is able to defile him?
19 Nokuti hazvipindi mumwoyo make asi mudumbu make, uyezve zvichizobuda mumuviri wake.” Nokutaura uku, Jesu akati zvokudya zvose zvakanaka.
Because it does not enter into his heart, but into the belly, and into the drain it goes out, purifying all the meats.”
20 Akaenderera mberi achiti, “Zvinobuda mumunhu ndizvo zvinomusvibisa.
And He said, “That which is coming out from the man, that defiles the man;
21 Nokuti kubva mukati, kubva mumwoyo yavanhu ndimo munobuda mirangariro yakaipa, upombwe, kuba, kuuraya, ufeve,
for from within, out of the heart of men, the evil reasonings come forth, adulteries, whoredoms, murders,
22 ruchiva, nouipi, kunyengera, utere, godo, kureva, manyawi noupenzi.
thefts, covetous desires, wickedness, deceit, arrogance, an evil eye, slander, pride, foolishness;
23 Zvakaipa izvozvi zvose zvinobuda kubva mukati uye ‘zvinosvibisa munhu.’”
all these evils come forth from within, and they defile the man.”
24 Jesu akabva panzvimbo iyo akaenda pedyo neTire. Akapinda mumba akasada kuzivikanwa nomunhu; asi akanga asingagoni kuzvivanza.
And from there having risen, He went away to the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and having entered into the house, He wished none to know, and He was not able to be hid,
25 Zvakaitika ndezvokuti, paakangonzwa nezvake, mukadzi aiva nomwanasikana akanga akabatwa nomweya wetsvina akauya akawira patsoka dzake.
for a woman having heard about Him, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having come, fell at His feet—
26 Mukadzi uyu aiva muGiriki, akaberekerwa muFonishia yomuSiria. Akakumbirisa Jesu kuti adzinge dhimoni mumwanasikana wake.
and the woman was a Greek, a Syro-Phoenician by nation—and was asking Him that He may cast forth the demon out of her daughter.
27 Jesu akati kwaari, “Vana vanofanira kutanga kudya zvavanoda, nokuti hazvina kunaka kutora chingwa chavana uchichikandira kumbwa dzavo.”
And Jesus said to her, “First permit the children to be filled, for it is not good to take the children’s bread, and to cast [it] to the little dogs.”
28 Iye akapindura akati, “Hongu Ishe, asi kunyange imbwa dziri pasi petafura dzinodya zvimedu zvezvokudya zvavana wani.”
And she answered and says to Him, “Yes, Lord; for the little dogs under the table also eat of the children’s crumbs.”
29 Ipapo akati kwaari, “Nokuda kwemhinduro yakadai, enda hako; dhimoni rabva pamwanasikana wako.”
And He said to her, “Because of this word, go; the demon has gone forth out of your daughter”;
30 Akadzokera kumba kwake akawana mwana wake avete pamubhedha, uye dhimoni raenda.
and having come away to her house, she found the demon gone forth, and the daughter laid on the bed.
31 Ipapo Jesu akabva kunzvimbo yeTire akaenda nokuSidhoni, akaburukira kuGungwa reGarirea uye nokudunhu reDhekapori.
And again, having gone forth from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, He came to the Sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis,
32 Ikoko vamwe vanhu vakauya kwaari nomurume akanga ari matsi uye asingagoni kunyatsotaura, uye vakamukumbira kwazvo kuti aise ruoko rwake pamusoro pomurume uyu.
and they bring to Him a deaf, stuttering man, and they call on Him that He may put the hand on him.
33 Akati aenda naye parutivi, kure noruzhinji, Jesu akaisa minwe yake munzeve dzake. Ipapo akapfira mate akabata rurimi rwomurume uya.
And having taken him away from the multitude by Himself, He put His fingers to his ears, and having spit, He touched his tongue,
34 Akatarisa kudenga uye nokugomera kukuru akati kwaari, “Efata!” (kureva kuti, “Dziuka!”)
and having looked to the sky, He sighed, and says to him, “Ephphatha,” that is, “Be opened”;
35 Pakarepo, nzeve dzomurume uya dzakadziuka, rurimi rwake rukasunungurwa uye akatanga kutaura zvakanaka.
and immediately his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he was speaking plain.
36 Jesu akavarayira kuti varege kutaurira kana munhu. Asi paakanyanya kuita izvozvo, ndipo pavakanyanya kutaura nezvazvo.
He charged them that they may tell no one, but the more He was charging them, the more abundantly they were proclaiming [it],
37 Vanhu vakashamiswa zvikuru kwazvo. Vakati, “Akaita zvinhu zvose nenzira yakanaka. Anoita kuti kunyange matsi dzinzwe uye nembeveve dzitaure.”
and they were being astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well; He makes both the deaf to hear, and the mute to speak.”
