< Mako 7 >

1 Zvino kwakaunganira kwaari VaFarisi nevamwe vevanyori vaibva kuJerusarema;
Then the Pharisees, and some of the scribes gathered together to him, having come from Jerusalem.
2 vakati vaona vamwe vevadzidzi vake vachidya zvingwa nemaoko ane tsvina, ndiko kuti asina kushambwa, vakasvora.
Now when they saw that some of his disciples ate bread with defiled, that is, unwashed, hands, they found fault.
3 Nokuti VaFarisi, neVaJudha vese, havadyi kunze kwekuti vashamba maoko kwazvo, vachibatirira tsika dzevakuru.
(For the Pharisees, and all Jewish people, do not eat unless they wash their hands and forearms, holding to the Tradition of the Elders.
4 Kana vachibva pamusika, kunze kwekuti vashamba, havadyi; nezvimwe zvinhu zvizhinji zviripo zvavakange vagamuchira kuti vazvichengete, zvinoti: Kusuka mikombe, nehari, nemidziyo yendarira, nenhovo.
They do not eat when they come from the marketplace unless they wash. And there are many other things which they have received and hold to, the washing of cups and pitchers and copper vessels and dining couches.)
5 Ipapo VaFarisi nevanyori vakamubvunza, vachiti: Nemhaka yei vadzidzi venyu vasingafambi netsika yevakuru, asi vanodya chingwa nemaoko asina kushambwa?
The Pharisees and the scribes asked him, "Why do your disciples not walk according to the Tradition of the Elders, but eat their bread with unwashed hands?"
6 Asi wakapindura akati kwavari: Isaya wakaporofita zvakanaka pamusoro penyu imwi vanyepedzeri, sezvazvakanyorwa, zvichinzi: Rudzi urwu rwunondikudza nemiromo, asi moyo wavo uri kure neni.
He 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.
7 Asi vanondinamata pasina, vachidzidzisa dzidziso, dziri mirairo yevanhu.
And in vain do they worship me, teaching instructions that are the commandments of humans.'
8 Nokuti munosiya murairo waMwari, muchibatirira tsika yevanhu, sekusuka hari nemikombe, nezvimwe zvizhinji zvakadaro munozviita.
"For you set aside the commandment of God, and hold tightly to human tradition."
9 Zvino akati kwavari: Munoramba nemazvo murairo waMwari, kuti muchengete tsika yenyu.
He said to them, "Full well do you reject the commandment of God, that you may establish your tradition.
10 Nokuti Mozisi wakati: Kudza baba vako namai vako; uye: Anotuka baba kana mai, anofanira kufa rufu.
For Moses said, 'Honor your father and your mother;' and, 'Anyone who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.'
11 Asi imwi munoti: Kana munhu achiti kuna baba kana mai: Chinhu chipi nechipi chamunobatsirwa nacho neni "iKorbani", ndokuti chipo kuna Mwari;
But you say, 'If anyone tells his father or mother, "Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban, that is to say, given to God;"'
12 hamuchamutenderi kuitira baba vake kana mai vake chinhu,
then you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or his mother,
13 muchishayisa shoko raMwari maturo netsika yenyu yamunogamuchidzana; nezvinhu zvizhinji zvakadaro munozviita.
making void the word of God by your tradition, which you have handed down. You do many things like this."
14 Zvino wakati adanira kwaari chaunga chese akati kwavari: Nditeererei mese, munzwisise.
And he called the crowd to himself again, and said to them, "Hear me, all of you, and understand.
15 Hapana chinhu chinobva kunze kwemunhu chinopinda maari chingamusvibisa; asi zvinhu zvinobuda maari, ndizvo zvinosvibisa munhu.
There is nothing from outside of the person, that going into him can defile him; but the things which proceed out of the person are what defile the person."
16 Kana aripo ane nzeve dzekunzwa, ngaanzwe.
17 Zvino wakati apinda mumba achibva kuchaunga, vadzidzi vake vakamubvunza pamusoro pemufananidzo.
When he had entered into a house away from the crowd, his disciples asked him about the parable.
18 Akati kwavari: Saizvozvo nemwi muri vasina kunzwisisa here? Hamunzwisisi here kuti chese chinobva kunze chichipinda mumunhu hachigoni kumusvibisa?
He said to them, "Are you thus without understanding also? Do you not perceive that whatever goes into the person from outside cannot defile him,
19 Nokuti hachipindi mumoyo make, asi mudumbu; chichibuda kunze, achinatsa kudya kwese.
because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, then into the latrine, cleansing all the foods?"
20 Ndokubva ati: Icho chinobuda mumunhu, ndicho chinosvibisa munhu.
He said, "That which proceeds out of the man, that defiles the man.
21 Nokuti kubva mukati mumoyo wevanhu inobuda mifungo yakaipa, upombwe, ufeve, umhondi,
For from within, out of a person's heart, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual sins, murders, thefts,
22 umbavha, ruchiva, kuipa, kunyengera, meso-meso, ziso rakaipa, kunyomba, kuzvikudza, upenzi;
covetings, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness.
23 zvese zvinhu izvi zvakaipa zvinobva mukati, zvichisvibisa munhu.
All these evil things come from within, and defile the man."
24 Zvino kubva ipapo wakasimuka akaenda kumiganhu yeTire neSidhoni; akapinda mumba, asingadi kuti pave neanozviziva, asi akakoniwa kuvanzika.
From there he arose, and went away into the region of Tyre and Sidon. He entered into a house, and did not want anyone to know it, but he could not escape notice.
25 Nokuti mukadzi waiva nemukunda mudiki akange ane mweya wetsvina, akanzwa nezvake, akauya akawira patsoka dzake.
But immediately a woman whose young daughter had an unclean spirit heard of him and came and fell at his feet.
26 Uye mukadzi waiva muGiriki, muSirofenike pachizvarwa; akamukumbirisa kuti abudise dhimoni pamukunda 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 Asi Jesu akati kwaari: Regai vana vatange kuguta, nokuti hazvina kunaka kutora chingwa chevana, ndokukandira kuimbwanana.
But he 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 Akapindura akati kwaari: Hongu, Ishe; nokuti kunyange imbwanana dziri pasi petafura dzinodya zvezvimedu zvevana.
But she answered him, "Yes, Sir. Yet even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs."
29 Akati kwaari: Nekuda kweshoko iri, enda; dhimoni rabuda pamukunda wako.
He said to her, "For this saying, go your way. The demon has gone out of your daughter."
30 Akabva akaenda kumba kwake, akawana dhimoni rabuda, mukunda arere panhovo.
And when she went away to her house, she found the child lying on the bed, the demon having left.
31 Zvino wakatizve achibva kumiganhu yeTire neSidhoni, akauya kugungwa reGarirea, nepakati pemiganhu yeDhekapori.
Again he departed from the borders of Tyre, and came through Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the region of Decapolis.
32 Zvino vakauisa kwaari matsi yaikakamira, vakamukumbirisa kuti aise ruoko pamusoro pake.
They brought to him one who was deaf and had a speech difficulty, and they begged Jesus to lay his hand on him.
33 Akamutora ari ega kubva pachaunga, akapinza mimwe yake munzeve dzake, akapfira, ndokubata rurimi rwake.
He took him aside from the crowd, privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat, and touched his tongue.
34 Atarira kumusoro kudenga, akatura befu, akati kwaari: "Efata"; ndiko kuti: Zarurwa!
Looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, "Ephphatha." that is, "Be opened."
35 Pakarepo nzeve dzake dzakazarurwa, chisungo cherurimi rwake chikasunungurwa, akataura zvakarurama.
And his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was released, and he spoke clearly.
36 Ndokuvaraira, kuti varege kuudza munhu; asi paainyanya kuvaraira, vakanyanya zvikuru kuparidza izvozvo.
He commanded them that they should tell no one, but the more he commanded them, so much the more widely they proclaimed it.
37 Vakashamisika zvikuru kwazvo, vachiti: Wakaita zvese zvakanaka; wakaita matsi kuti dzinzwe, nezvimumumu kuti zvitaure.
They were astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has done all things well. He makes even the deaf hear, and the mute speak."
