Marko 7
1 Da bi, Farisifo ne Kyerɛwsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfo bi a wofi Yerusalem baa Yesu nkyɛn.
And there come together to him the Pharisees, and some of the scribes, who came from Jerusalem;
2 Woduu hɔ no, wohuu sɛ nʼasuafo no bi redidi a wɔanhohoro wɔn nsa ho.
and seeing some of his disciples eating bread with defiled, that is, unwashed hands,
3 Na Yudafo no, ne titiriw no Farisifo nnidi da, gye sɛ wɔahohoro wɔn nsa ho nyinaa, sɛnea wɔn amanne kyerɛ, ansa na wɔadidi.
(for the Pharisees, and all the Jews, unless they wash their hands often, do not eat, holding fast the tradition of the elders;
4 Na sɛ wofi gua so ba a, wɔhohoro wɔn nsa ansa na wɔadidi. Eyi yɛ mmara bebree a wofi tete adi so no mu baako. Na mmara no bi ne sɛ, wɔhohoro nkuruwa, asɛn ne kɔberesɛn mu.
and on coming from the marketplace, unless they bathe, they do not eat; and there are many other things which they have received to hold, the dipping of cups, and pitchers, and brazen vessels; )
5 Enti Kyerɛwsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfo no bisaa Yesu se, “Adɛn nti na wʼasuafo no nni yɛn amanne a efi tete no so? Efisɛ wodidi a, wonni kan nhohoro wɔn nsa sɛnea amanne kyerɛ no.”
then the Pharisees and scribes ask him, Why do not thy disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with defiled hands?
6 Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Mo nyaatwomfo! Asɛm a Yesaia ka faa mo ho sɛ, “‘Saa nnipa yi de wɔn ano na edi me ni, nanso wɔn koma mmɛn me ho baabiara.
And he said to them, Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, “This people honoreth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
7 Wɔsom me kwa; na wɔn nkyerɛkyerɛ yɛ nnipa nsa ano mmara’ yɛ nokware turodoo!
But in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.”
8 Mugyaw Onyankopɔn mmara a wahyehyɛ no de mo ankasa mo amanne si anan mu.
Laying aside, the commandment of God, ye hold fast the tradition of men.
9 “Moahyɛ da sɛ mobɛpo Onyankopɔn mmara no, na moatiatia so, ama mo amanne no atim.
And he said to them, Full well do ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your tradition!
10 Ɛho nhwɛso bi ne sɛ, Mose de Onyankopɔn mmara a ɛka se, ‘Di wʼagya ne wo na ni’ no maa mo. Ɔkae se, ‘obiara a ɔbɛkasa atia nʼagya anaa ne na no, ɛsɛ sɛ wokum no.’
For Moses said, “Honor thy father and thy mother;” and, “He that curseth father or mother, let him surely die.”
11 Nanso moka se, eye sɛ obi bɛka akyerɛ nʼagya anaa ne na a ade bi hia no no se, ‘Merentumi mmoa mo! Efisɛ mede nea anka a ɛsɛ sɛ mede ma mo no ama Onyankopɔn.’
But ye say, If a man say to his father or mother, Whatever thou mightst receive in aid from me is Corban, that is, a gift to God, [[he is not bound by the command. Thus]]
12 Enti mubu Onyankopɔn mmara a ɔhyɛe no so, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mubetumi abɔ mo amanne ho ban.
ye suffer him no longer to do anything for his father or his mother;
13 Eyi yɛ nhwɛso baako pɛ. Nanso bebree ka ho.”
making void the word of God by your tradition, which ye have handed down; and many such things ye do.
14 Afei Yesu frɛɛ nnipakuw no baa ne nkyɛn, ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mo nyinaa muntie asɛm a mereka yi yiye, na monte ase.
And again calling the multitude to him, he said to them, Hearken to me all of you, and understand.
15 Ade biara a ɛkɔ onipa mu no ngu ne ho fi. Na mmom nea ebefi onipa mu aba no na egu ne ho fi.
Nothing that entereth into a man from without can defile him; but the things that come out of him are what defile a man.
16 Nea ɔwɔ aso a obetie no ntie.”
17 Afei Yesu fii nnipakuw no mu kɔɔ fie no, nʼasuafo no bisaa no asɛm a ɔkae no ase.
And when he had gone into the house from the crowd, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.
18 Obisaa wɔn se, “Mo nso monte asɛm a mekae no ase? Munhu sɛ, nea mudi no ngu mo ho fi ana?
And he saith to them, Are ye too so without discernment? Do ye not understand that whatever thing from without entereth into a man, cannot defile him?
19 Efisɛ nea mudi biara no ne mo koma nni hwee yɛ, na mmom ɛfa ɔyafunu no mu kɛkɛ.”
because it entereth not into his heart, but into the stomach; and goeth out into the drain, which cleanseth all kinds of food.
20 Ɔtoaa so se, “Nea efi onipa mu ba no na egu ne ho fi.
And he said, That which cometh out of a man, that defileth a man.
21 Afei nea efi nnipa koma mu ba no, ɛde aguamammɔ, korɔn, awudi,
For from within, out of the heart of men, come forth evil thoughts, fornications,
22 ayefasɛm, amumɔyɛ, asisi, ahohwi, anibere, abususɛm, ahantan ne nkwaseasɛm ba.
thefts, murders, adulteries, covetousness, iniquities, deceit, wantonness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.
23 Saa nnebɔne yi nyinaa fi onipa mu na ɛba, na ɛno na egu onipa ho fi a ɛmma ɔmfata Onyankopɔn anim.”
All these evil things come from within, and defile a man.
24 Yesu fi hɔ no, ɔkɔɔ Tiro ne Sidon fam pɛɛ sɛ ɔrekɔhyɛ hɔ komm a obiara nte ne nka, nanso anyɛ ye. Da a oduu hɔ ara pɛ, na nkurɔfo tee ne nka sɛ waba hɔ.
And rising up, he departed thence into the borders of Tyre; and entering into a house, he desired that no one should know it; but he could not escape notice.
25 Ɛhɔ ara na ɔbea bi a honhommɔne hyɛ ne babea ketewa bi mu baa ne nkyɛn. Na wate Yesu nka nti, obebuu no nkotodwe.
But a woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, immediately hearing of him, came in, and fell at his feet.
26 Ɔbea no srɛɛ no sɛ ontu saa honhommɔne no mfi ne ba no mu mma no. Na saa ɔbea yi yɛ Helani a wɔwoo no wɔ Siro-Foinike.
The woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast out the demon from her daughter.
27 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ɛsɛ sɛ mma no mee ansa. Na enye sɛ wɔde mma aduan ma akraman.”
And he said to her, Let the children be filled first; for it is not well to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs.
28 Ɔbea no nso buae no se, “Owura, ɛyɛ nokware de, nanso ɛyɛ a wɔde aduan a aka wɔ mmofra no prɛte mu no bi ma akraman a wɔhyehyɛ ɔpon no ase no.”
But she answered, and saith to him, Yea, Lord; even the little dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.
29 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Wo mmuae pa no nti masa wo babea no yare. Kɔ fie. Honhommɔne no afi ne mu kɔ.”
And he said to her, For this saying go thy way; the demon hath gone out of thy daughter.
30 Oduu fie no, ohuu sɛ ne babea no da mpa so dinn a honhommɔne no afi ne mu ampa ara.
And going away to her house, she found the child laid upon the bed, and the demon gone out.
31 Yesu fi Tiro no, ɔfaa Sidon mansin a emu nkurow yɛ du no so beduu Galilea Po so.
And again leaving the borders of Tyre, he came through Sidon to the lake of Galilee, through the midst of the borders of Decapolis.
32 Wɔde ɔsotifo bi a ɔsan yɛ mum brɛɛ no. Wɔn a wɔwɔ hɔ no nyinaa srɛɛ Yesu sɛ, ɔmfa ne nsa nka ɔyarefo no, na ɔnsa no yare.
And they bring to him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech, and beseech him to lay his hand upon him.
33 Yesu soo ne mu de no fii nnipakuw no mu. Afei ɔde ne nsateaa hyɛɛ ɔbarima no asom, tee ntasu de kaa ne tɛkrɛma.
And taking him aside from the multitude, he put his fingers into his ears, and having spit, touched his tongue;
34 Ɔhwɛɛ ɔsoro, guu ahome teɛɛ mu se, “Hefata!” Ase ne, “bue!”
and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith to him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.
35 Amono mu hɔ ara, ɔbarima no aso buei, ne tɛkrɛma sanee, na ofii ase kasae.
And his ears were opened; and the string of his tongue was immediately loosed, and he spoke plain.
36 Yesu bɔɔ nnipakuw no ano se, wɔmmmɔ asɛm no dawuru nkyerɛ obiara. Nanso mpɛn dodow a ɔbraa wɔn no, na trɛw ara na wɔn nso wɔretrɛw asɛm no mu.
And he charged them to tell no one; but the more he charged them, the more did they publish it.
37 Saa asɛm yi maa wɔn ho dwiriw wɔn yiye. Enti wɔkae se, “Yesu ayɛ ade nyinaa yiye, ɔma asotifo mpo te asɛm, na mum nso kasa!”
And they were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well; he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
