Mako 7
1 VaFarisi navamwe vavadzidzisi vomurayiro vakanga vauya kuJerusarema vakaungana pana Jesu
Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes gathered together to him, having come from Jerusalem.
2 vakaona vamwe vavadzidzi vake vachidya zvokudya namaoko akanga ane “tsvina,” ndiko kuti, asina kushambwa.
Now when they saw some of his disciples eating bread with defiled, that is unwashed, hands, they found fault.
3 VaFarisi navaJudha vose havadyi kunze kwokunge vamboshamba maoko avo, vachichengeta tsika dzavakuru.
(For the Pharisees and all the Jews don’t eat unless they wash their hands and forearms, holding to 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.
They don’t eat when they come from the marketplace unless they bathe themselves, and there are many other things which they have received to hold to: washings of cups, pitchers, 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’?”
The Pharisees and the scribes asked him, “Why don’t your disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their 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.
He answered them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, ‘This people honours me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
7 Vanondinamata pasina; dzidziso dzavo dzinongova mirayiro inodzidziswa navanhu.’
They worship me in vain, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’
8 Makasiya mirayiro yaMwari mukachengetedza tsika dzavanhu.”
“For you set aside the commandment of God, and hold tightly to the tradition of men—the washing of pitchers and cups, and you do many other such things.”
9 Uye akati kwavari, “Mune nzira chaiyo yokuisa parutivi nayo mirayiro yaMwari kuitira kuti mucherechedze tsika dzenyuwo!
He said to them, “Full well do you reject the commandment 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, ‘Honour your father and your mother;’ and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to 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),
But you say, ‘If a man tells his father or his mother, “Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban,”’” that is to say, given to God,
12 ipapo hamuchamuregi achiitira baba kana mai vake chinhu chipi zvacho.
“then you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or his mother,
13 Nokudaro munoparadza shoko raMwari nokuda kwetsika dzenyu dzamakachengeta kusvika zvino. Uye munoita zvinhu zvizhinji zvakadaro.”
making void the word of God by your tradition which you have handed down. You do many things like this.”
14 Jesu akadanazve kwaari vanhu vazhinji akati kwavari, “Nditeererei, imi mose, uye munzwisise izvi.
He called all the multitude to himself and said to them, “Hear me, all of you, and understand.
15 Hakuna chinhu chinobva kunze ‘chinosvibisa’ munhu nokupinda maari. Asi icho chinobuda mumunhu ndicho chinoita kuti ‘asvibe.’
There is nothing from outside of the man that going into him can defile him; but the things which proceed out of the man are those that defile the man.
16 Kana munhu ane nzeve dzokunzwa, ngaanzwe.”
If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!”
17 Zvino akati abva pavanhu vazhinji uye apinda mumba, vadzidzi vake vakamubvunza pamusoro pomufananidzo uyu.
When he had entered into a house away from the multitude, his disciples asked him about the parable.
18 Akati, “Hamunzwisisi seiko? Hamuoni kuti hakuna chinhu chinopinda mumunhu chichibva kunze chinogona ‘kumusvibisa’?
He said to them, “Are you also without understanding? Don’t you perceive that whatever goes into the man from outside can’t defile him,
19 Nokuti hazvipindi mumwoyo make asi mudumbu make, uyezve zvichizobuda mumuviri wake.” Nokutaura uku, Jesu akati zvokudya zvose zvakanaka.
because it doesn’t go into his heart, but into his stomach, then into the latrine, making all foods clean?”
20 Akaenderera mberi achiti, “Zvinobuda mumunhu ndizvo zvinomusvibisa.
He said, “That which proceeds out of 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 hearts of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual sins, murders, thefts,
22 ruchiva, nouipi, kunyengera, utere, godo, kureva, manyawi noupenzi.
covetings, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness.
23 Zvakaipa izvozvi zvose zvinobuda kubva mukati uye ‘zvinosvibisa munhu.’”
All these evil things come from within and defile the man.”
24 Jesu akabva panzvimbo iyo akaenda pedyo neTire. Akapinda mumba akasada kuzivikanwa nomunhu; asi akanga asingagoni kuzvivanza.
From there he arose and went away into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. He entered into a house and didn’t want anyone to know it, but he couldn’t escape notice.
25 Zvakaitika ndezvokuti, paakangonzwa nezvake, mukadzi aiva nomwanasikana akanga akabatwa nomweya wetsvina akauya akawira patsoka dzake.
For a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet.
26 Mukadzi uyu aiva muGiriki, akaberekerwa muFonishia yomuSiria. Akakumbirisa Jesu kuti adzinge dhimoni mumwanasikana wake.
Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. She begged him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter.
27 Jesu akati kwaari, “Vana vanofanira kutanga kudya zvavanoda, nokuti hazvina kunaka kutora chingwa chavana uchichikandira kumbwa dzavo.”
But Jesus said to her, “Let the children be filled first, for it is not appropriate to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”
28 Iye akapindura akati, “Hongu Ishe, asi kunyange imbwa dziri pasi petafura dzinodya zvimedu zvezvokudya zvavana wani.”
But she answered him, “Yes, Lord. Yet even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”
29 Ipapo akati kwaari, “Nokuda kwemhinduro yakadai, enda hako; dhimoni rabva pamwanasikana wako.”
He said to her, “For this saying, go your way. The demon has gone out of your daughter.”
30 Akadzokera kumba kwake akawana mwana wake avete pamubhedha, uye dhimoni raenda.
She went away to her house, and found the child having been laid on the bed, with the demon gone out.
31 Ipapo Jesu akabva kunzvimbo yeTire akaenda nokuSidhoni, akaburukira kuGungwa reGarirea uye nokudunhu reDhekapori.
Again he departed from the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and came to the sea of Galilee through the middle of the region 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.
They brought to him one who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech. They begged him to lay his hand on him.
33 Akati aenda naye parutivi, kure noruzhinji, Jesu akaisa minwe yake munzeve dzake. Ipapo akapfira mate akabata rurimi rwomurume uya.
He took him aside from the multitude privately and put his fingers into his ears; and he spat and touched his tongue.
34 Akatarisa kudenga uye nokugomera kukuru akati kwaari, “Efata!” (kureva kuti, “Dziuka!”)
Looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, “Ephphatha!” that is, “Be opened!”
35 Pakarepo, nzeve dzomurume uya dzakadziuka, rurimi rwake rukasunungurwa uye akatanga kutaura zvakanaka.
Immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was released, and he spoke clearly.
36 Jesu akavarayira kuti varege kutaurira kana munhu. Asi paakanyanya kuita izvozvo, ndipo pavakanyanya kutaura nezvazvo.
He commanded them that they should tell no one, but the more he commanded them, so much the more widely they proclaimed it.
37 Vanhu vakashamiswa zvikuru kwazvo. Vakati, “Akaita zvinhu zvose nenzira yakanaka. Anoita kuti kunyange matsi dzinzwe uye nembeveve dzitaure.”
They were astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well. He makes even the deaf hear and the mute speak!”
