Mark 7
1 Àwọn Farisi sì péjọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀, àti àwọn kan nínú àwọn akọ̀wé, tí ó wá láti Jerusalẹmu,
Then the Pharisees, with certain Scribes who had come from Jerusalem, came to Him in a body.
2 wọ́n sì ṣe àkíyèsí wí pé díẹ̀ nínú àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn Jesu ń fi ọwọ́ àìmọ́ jẹun, èyí yìí ni wẹ ọwọ́.
They had noticed that some of His disciples were eating their food with 'unclean' (that is to say, unwashed) hands.
3 (Àwọn Farisi, àti gbogbo àwọn Júù, bí wọ́n kò bá wẹ ọwọ́ wọn gidigidi, wọn kì í jẹun nítorí wọ́n ti pa òfin àtọwọ́dọ́wọ́ àwọn àgbà mọ́.
(For the Pharisees and all the Jews--being, as they are, zealous for the traditions of the Elders--never eat without first carefully washing their hands,
4 Nígbà tí wọ́n bá sì ti ọjà dé sílé, wọn kò gbọdọ̀ fi ọwọ́ kan oúnjẹ àfi tí wọ́n bá bu omi wẹ ara wọn. Èyí sì jẹ́ ọ̀kan nínú ogunlọ́gọ̀ àpẹẹrẹ òfin àti ìlànà tí wọ́n ti dì mú fún ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ọdún sẹ́yìn, bí i fífọ kọ́ọ̀bù, àwọn ìkòkò, àti kẹ́tù.)
and when they come from market they will not eat without bathing first; and they have a good many other customs which they have received traditionally and cling to, such as the rinsing of cups and pots and of bronze utensils, and the washing of beds.)
5 Nítorí èyí àwọn Farisi àti àwọn olùkọ́ òfin béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀ pé, “Èéṣe tí àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ kò tẹ̀lé àwọn òfin àtọwọ́dọ́wọ́ àwọn àgbà nítorí wọ́n fi ọwọ́ àìmọ́ jẹun?”
So the Pharisees and Scribes put the question to Him: "Why do your disciples transgress the traditions of the Elders, and eat their food with unclean hands?"
6 Jesu dá wọn lóhùn wí pé, “Ẹyin àgàbàgebè yìí, òtítọ́ ni wòlíì Isaiah ń sọtẹ́lẹ̀ nípa tí ẹ̀yin àgàbàgebè, bí a ti kọ ọ́ pé: “‘Àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí fi ẹnu wọn bu ọlá fún mi ṣùgbọ́n ọkàn wọn jìnà sí mi.
"Rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites," He replied; "as it is written, "'This People honour Me with their lips, while their hearts are far away from Me:
7 Ìsìn wọn jẹ́ lásán, ìkọ́ni wọ́n jẹ́ kìkìdá òfin tí àwọn ènìyàn fi ń kọ́ni.’
But idle is their devotion while they lay down precepts which are mere human rules.'
8 Nítorí tí ẹ̀yin fi òfin Ọlọ́run sí apá kan, ẹ̀yin ń tẹ̀lé àṣà àwọn ènìyàn.”
"You neglect God's Commandment: you hold fast to men's traditions."
9 Ó si wí fún wọn: “Ẹ̀yin sá à mọ̀ bí ẹ ti ń gbé òfin Ọlọ́run jù sẹ́yìn kí ẹ lè mú òfin tiyín ṣẹ.
"Praiseworthy indeed!" He added, "to set at nought God's Commandment in order to observe your own traditions!
10 Mose fún un yín ní òfin yìí láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run pé, ‘Bọ̀wọ̀ fún baba òun ìyá rẹ.’ Ó tún sọ pé, ‘Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá sọ̀rọ̀ aburú sí baba tàbí ìyá rẹ̀ ní láti kú ni.’
For Moses said, 'Honour thy father and thy mother' and again, 'He who curses father or mother, let him die the death.'
11 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin wá sọ pé ó dára bákan náà fún ọkùnrin kan bí kò bá tilẹ̀ pèsè fún àìní àwọn òbí rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n kí o sọ fún wọn pé, ‘Ẹ má ṣe bínú baba tàbí ìyá mi, n kò lè ràn yín lọ́wọ́ nísinsin yìí,’ nítorí tí mo ti fi ẹ̀bùn tí ǹ bá fi fún un yín fún Ọlọ́run.
But you say, 'If a man says to his father or mother, It is a Korban (that is, a thing devoted to God), whatever it is, which otherwise you would have received from me--'
12 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹ̀yin kò si jẹ́ kí ó ṣe ohunkóhun fún baba tàbí ìyá rẹ̀ mọ́.
And so you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or mother,
13 Ẹ̀yin ń fi òfin àtọwọ́dọ́wọ́ tiyín tí ẹ fi lélẹ̀, sọ ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run di asán àti ọ̀pọ̀ irú nǹkan bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹ̀yin ń ṣe.”
thus nullifying God's precept by your tradition which you have handed down. And many things of that kind you do."
14 Lẹ́yìn náà, Jesu pe ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn láti wá gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀. Ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Gbogbo yín ẹ tẹ́tí sílẹ̀ kí ẹ sì jẹ́ kí èyí ó yé e yín.
Then Jesus called the people to Him again. "Listen to me, all of you," He said, "and understand.
15 Kò sí ohunkóhun láti òde ènìyàn, tí ó wọ inú rẹ̀ lọ, tí ó lè sọ ọ́ di aláìmọ́, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn nǹkan tí ó ti inú rẹ jáde, àwọn wọ̀nyí ní ń sọ ènìyàn di aláìmọ́.”
There is nothing outside a man which entering him can make him unclean; but it is the things which come out of a man that make him unclean."
17 Nígbà tí Jesu sì wọ inú ilé kan lọ, àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn tẹ̀lé é, wọ́n sì béèrè ìtumọ̀ àwọn òwe tí ó pa.
After He had left the crowd and gone indoors, His disciples began to ask Him about this figure of speech.
18 Jesu béèrè wí pé, “Àbí kò sí èyí tí ó yé yín nínú ọ̀rọ̀ náà? Ẹ̀yin kò rí i wí pé ohunkóhun tí ó wọ inú ènìyàn láti òde kò lè sọ ènìyàn di aláìmọ́?
"Have you also so little understanding?" He replied; "do you not understand that anything whatever that enters a man from outside cannot make him unclean,
19 Nítorí tí kò lọ sínú ọkàn rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n sínú ara, a sì yà á jáde, a sì gbá gbogbo oúnjẹ dànù.” (Nípa sísọ èyí, Jesu fihàn pé gbogbo oúnjẹ jẹ́ “mímọ́.”)
because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and passes away ejected from him?" By these words Jesus pronounced all kinds of food clean.
20 Nígbà náà, ó fi kún un pé, “Èyí ti ó ti ọkàn ènìyàn jáde ni ń sọ ni di aláìmọ́.
"What comes out of a man," He added, "that it is which makes him unclean.
21 Nítorí pé láti inú ọkàn ènìyàn ni àwọn èrò búburú wọ̀nyí ti ń jáde wá: àgbèrè, olè, ìpànìyàn, panṣágà,
For from within, out of men's hearts, their evil purposes proceed--fornication, theft, murder, adultery,
22 ọ̀kánjúwà, odì yíyàn, ìtànjẹ, ìmọ-tara-ẹni, ìlara, ọ̀rọ̀ ẹ̀yìn, ìgbéraga, òmùgọ̀.
covetousness, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, reviling, pride, reckless folly:
23 Gbogbo àwọn nǹkan búburú wọ̀nyí ń tí inú wá, àwọn ló sì ń sọ yín di aláìmọ́.”
all these wicked things come out from within and make a man unclean."
24 Nígbà náà ni Jesu kúrò ní Galili, ó sí lọ sí agbègbè Tire àti Sidoni, ó sì gbìyànjú láti nìkan wà pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ fún àkókò díẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n eléyìí kò ṣe é ṣe, nítorí pé kò pẹ́ púpọ̀ tí ó wọ ìlú nígbà tí ìròyìn dídé rẹ̀ tàn káàkiri.
Then He rose and left that place and went into the neighbourhood of Tyre and Sidon. Here He entered a house and wished no one to know it, but He could not escape observation.
25 Láìpẹ́, obìnrin kan tí ọmọbìnrin rẹ̀ ní ẹ̀mí àìmọ́ tọ̀ ọ́ wá, ó ti gbọ́ nípa Jesu, ó wá, ó sì wólẹ̀ lẹ́sẹ̀ Jesu.
Forthwith a woman whose little daughter was possessed by a foul spirit heard of Him, and came and flung herself at His feet.
26 Giriki ní obìnrin náà, Siro-Fonisia ní orílẹ̀-èdè rẹ̀. Ó bẹ Jesu kí ó bá òun lé ẹ̀mí èṣù náà jáde lára ọmọbìnrin òun.
She was a Gentile woman, a Syro-phoenician by nation: and again and again she begged Him to expel the demon from her daughter.
27 Jesu sọ fún obìnrin yìí pé, “Ní àkọ́kọ́, ó yẹ kí a fi oúnjẹ tẹ́ àwọn ọmọ lọ́rùn ná. Nítorí kò tọ́ kí a mú oúnjẹ àwọn ọmọ fún àwọn ajá.”
"Let the children first eat all they want," He said; "it is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."
28 Obìnrin náà dáhùn wí pé, “Òótọ́ ni ọ̀rọ̀ yín Olúwa, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọmọ ajá pàápàá a máa ní àǹfààní láti jẹ èérún oúnjẹ tí ó bá bọ́ sílẹ̀ láti orí tábìlì.”
"True, Sir," she replied, "and yet the dogs under the table eat the children's scraps."
29 “Ó sì wí fún un pé, nítorí ọ̀rọ̀ yìí, máa lọ, ẹ̀mí àìmọ́ náà ti jáde kúrò lára ọmọbìnrin rẹ.”
"For those words of yours, go home," He replied; "the demon has gone out of your daughter."
30 Nígbà tí ó padà dé ilé, ó bá ọmọbìnrin rẹ̀ ní ìdùbúlẹ̀ jẹ́jẹ́ lórí ibùsùn, ẹ̀mí àìmọ́ náà ti fi í sílẹ̀.
So she went home, and found the child lying on the bed, and the demon gone.
31 Nígbà náà ni Jesu fi agbègbè Tire àti Sidoni sílẹ̀, ó wá si Òkun Galili láàrín agbègbè Dekapoli.
Returning from the neighbourhood of Tyre, He came by way of Sidon to the Lake of Galilee, passing through the district of the Ten Towns.
32 Níbẹ̀ ọkùnrin kan tí kò lè sọ̀rọ̀ wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ Jesu, àwọn ènìyàn sì bẹ Jesu pé kí ó gbé ọwọ́ rẹ̀ lé e.
Here they brought to Him a deaf man that stammered, on whom they begged Him to lay His hands.
33 Jesu sì mú ọkùnrin náà kúrò láàrín ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn. Ó sì fi àwọn ìka rẹ̀ sí etí ọkùnrin náà, ó tu itọ́ ṣọ́wọ́. Ó sì fi kan ahọ́n rẹ̀.
So Jesus taking him aside, apart from the crowd, put His fingers into his ears, and spat, and moistened his tongue;
34 Nígbà náà ni Jesu wòkè ọ̀run, ó sì mí kanlẹ̀, ó sì pàṣẹ wí pé, “Efata!” (èyí ni, “Ìwọ ṣí!”).
and looking up to Heaven He sighed, and said to him, "Ephphatha!" (that is, "Open!")
35 Lójúkan náà, etí rẹ̀ sì ṣí, okùn ahọ́n rẹ̀ sì tú, ó sì ń sọ̀rọ̀ ketekete.
And the man's ears were opened, and his tongue became untied, and he began to speak perfectly.
36 Jesu pàṣẹ fún ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn tó wà níbẹ̀ pé kí wọn má ṣe tan ìròyìn náà ká. Ṣùgbọ́n bí ó ti ń pa wọ́n lẹ́nu mọ́ tó, náà ni wọ́n ń tan ìròyìn náà káàkiri tó.
Then Jesus charged them to tell no one; but the more He charged them, all the more did they spread the news far and wide.
37 Àwọn ènìyàn sì kún fún ìyanu, wọ́n wí pé, “Ó ṣe ohun gbogbo dáradára, Ó mú kí adití gbọ́rọ̀, odi sì sọ̀rọ̀.”
The amazement was extreme. "He succeeds in everything he attempts," they exclaimed; "he even makes deaf men hear and dumb men speak!"
