Matthew 15
1 Nígbà náà ní àwọn Farisi àti àwọn olùkọ́ òfin tọ Jesu wá láti Jerusalẹmu,
Then some Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and asked,
2 wọn béèrè pé, “Èéṣe tí àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ fi ń rú òfin àtayébáyé àwọn alàgbà? Nítorí tí wọn kò wẹ ọwọ́ wọn kí wọ́n tó jẹun!”
“Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They do not wash their hands before they eat.”
3 Jesu sì dá wọn lóhùn pé, “Èéha ṣe tí ẹ̀yin fi rú òfin Ọlọ́run, nítorí àṣà yín?
Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition?
4 Nítorí Ọlọ́run wí pé, ‘Bọ̀wọ̀ fún Baba òun ìyá rẹ,’ àti pé, ‘Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá sọ ọ̀rọ̀-òdì sí baba tàbí ìyá rẹ̀, ní láti kú.’
For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother’ and ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’
5 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin wí pé, ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá wí fún baba tàbí ìyá rẹ̀ pé, ‘Ẹ̀bùn fún Ọlọ́run ni ohunkóhun tí ìwọ ìbá fi jèrè lára mi,’
But you say that if anyone says to his father or mother, ‘Whatever you would have received from me is a gift devoted to God,’
6 tí Òun kò sì bọ̀wọ̀ fún baba tàbí ìyá rẹ̀, ó bọ́; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹ̀yin sọ òfin Ọlọ́run di asán nípa àṣà yín.
he need not honor his father or mother with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition.
7 Ẹ̀yin àgàbàgebè, ní òtítọ́ ni Wòlíì Isaiah sọtẹ́lẹ̀ nípa yín wí pé:
You hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied correctly about you:
8 “‘Àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí ń fi ẹnu lásán bu ọlá fún mi, ṣùgbọ́n ọkàn wọn jìnnà réré sí mi.
‘These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me.
9 Lásán ni ìsìn wọn; nítorí pé wọ́n ń fi òfin ènìyàn kọ́ ni ní ẹ̀kọ́.’”
They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’”
10 Jesu pe ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ, ó wí pé, “Ẹ tẹ́tí, ẹ sì jẹ́ kí nǹkan tí mo sọ yé yín.
Jesus called the crowd to Him and said, “Listen and understand.
11 Ènìyàn kò di aláìmọ́ nípa ohun tí ó wọ ẹnu ènìyàn, ṣùgbọ́n èyí tí ó ti ẹnu jáde wá ni ó sọ ní di aláìmọ́.”
A man is not defiled by what enters his mouth, but by what comes out of it.”
12 Nígbà náà, àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ tọ̀ ọ́ wá, wọ́n wí fún un pé, “Ǹjẹ́ ìwọ mọ̀ pé inú bí àwọn Farisi lẹ́yìn tí wọ́n gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ tí ó sọ yìí?”
Then the disciples came to Him and said, “Are You aware that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this?”
13 Jesu dá wọn lóhùn pé, “Gbogbo igi tí Baba mi ti ń bẹ ni ọ̀run kò bá gbìn ni á ó fàtu tigbòǹgbò tigbòǹgbò,
But Jesus replied, “Every plant that My heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by its roots.
14 ẹ fi wọ́n sílẹ̀; afọ́jú tí ń fi ọ̀nà han afọ́jú ni wọ́n. Bí afọ́jú bá sì ń fi ọ̀nà han afọ́jú, àwọn méjèèjì ni yóò jìn sí kòtò.”
Disregard them! They are blind guides. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.”
15 Peteru wí, “Ṣe àlàyé òwe yìí fún wa.”
Peter said to Him, “Explain this parable to us.”
16 Jesu béèrè lọ́wọ́ wọn pé, “Èéha ṣe tí ìwọ fi jẹ́ aláìmòye síbẹ̀”?
“Do you still not understand?” Jesus asked.
17 “Ẹyin kò mọ̀ pé ohunkóhun tí ó gba ẹnu wọlé, yóò gba ti ọ̀nà oúnjẹ lọ, a yóò sì yà á jáde?
“Do you not yet realize that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then is eliminated?
18 Ṣùgbọ́n ohun tí a ń sọ jáde láti ẹnu, inú ọkàn ni ó ti ń wá, èyí sì ni ó ń sọ ènìyàn di aláìmọ́.
But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these things defile a man.
19 Ṣùgbọ́n láti ọkàn ni èrò búburú ti wá, bí ìpànìyàn, panṣágà, àgbèrè, olè jíjà, irọ́ àti ọ̀rọ̀ ìbàjẹ́.
For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, and slander.
20 Àwọn tí a dárúkọ wọ̀nyí ni ó ń sọ ènìyàn di aláìmọ́. Ṣùgbọ́n láti jẹun láì wẹ ọwọ́, kò lè sọ ènìyàn di aláìmọ́.”
These are what defile a man, but eating with unwashed hands does not defile him.”
21 Jesu sì ti ibẹ̀ kúrò lọ sí Tire àti Sidoni.
Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the district of Tyre and Sidon.
22 Obìnrin kan láti Kenaani, tí ó ń gbé ibẹ̀ wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀. Ó ń bẹ̀bẹ̀, ó sì kígbe pé, “Olúwa, ọmọ Dafidi, ṣàánú fún mi; ọmọbìnrin mi ní ẹ̀mí èṣù ti ń dá a lóró gidigidi.”
And a Canaanite woman from that region came to Him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is miserably possessed by a demon.”
23 Ṣùgbọ́n Jesu kò fún un ní ìdáhùn, àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ sì gbà á níyànjú pé, “Lé obìnrin náà lọ, nítorí ó ń kígbe tọ̀ wá lẹ́yìn.”
But Jesus did not answer a word. So His disciples came and urged Him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.”
24 Ó dáhùn pé, “Àgùntàn ilẹ̀ Israẹli tí ó nù nìkan ni a rán mi sí.”
He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
25 Obìnrin náà wá, ó wólẹ̀ níwájú rẹ̀, ó bẹ̀bẹ̀ sí i pé, “Olúwa ṣàánú fún mi.”
The woman came and knelt before Him. “Lord, help me!” she said.
26 Ó sì dáhùn wí pé, “Kò tọ́ kí a gbé oúnjẹ àwọn ọmọ fún àwọn ajá.”
But Jesus replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”
27 Obìnrin náà sì wí pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, síbẹ̀síbẹ̀ àwọn ajá a máa jẹ èrúnrún tí ó ti orí tábìlì olówó wọn bọ́ sílẹ̀.”
“Yes, Lord,” she said, “even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”
28 Jesu sì sọ fún obìnrin náà pé, “Ìgbàgbọ́ ńlá ni tìrẹ! A sì ti dáhùn ìbéèrè rẹ.” A sì mú ọmọbìnrin rẹ̀ láradá ní wákàtí kan náà.
“O woman,” Jesus answered, “your faith is great! Let it be done for you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.
29 Jesu ti ibẹ̀ lọ sí Òkun Galili. Ó gun orí òkè, o sì jókòó níbẹ̀.
Moving on from there, Jesus went along the Sea of Galilee. Then He went up on a mountain and sat down.
30 Ọ̀pọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn sì tọ̀ ọ́ wá, àti àwọn arọ, afọ́jú, amúnkùn ún, odi àti ọ̀pọ̀ àwọn aláìsàn mìíràn. Wọ́n gbé wọn kalẹ̀ lẹ́sẹ̀ Jesu. Òun sì mú gbogbo wọn láradá.
Large crowds came to Him, bringing the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and laid them at His feet, and He healed them.
31 Ẹnu ya ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn nígbà tí wọ́n rí àwọn odi tó ń sọ̀rọ̀, amúnkùn ún tó di alára pípé, arọ tí ó ń rìn àti àwọn afọ́jú tí ó ríran. Wọ́n sì ń fi ìyìn fún Ọlọ́run Israẹli.
The crowd was amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled restored, the lame walking, and the blind seeing. And they glorified the God of Israel.
32 Jesu pe àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ sọ́dọ̀, ó wí pé, “Àánú àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí ṣe mí; nítorí wọ́n ti wà níhìn-ín pẹ̀lú mi fún ọjọ́ mẹ́ta gbáko báyìí. Wọn kò sì tún ní oúnjẹ mọ́. Èmi kò fẹ́ kí wọn padà lébi, nítorí òyì lè kọ́ wọn lójú ọ̀nà.”
Then Jesus called His disciples to Him and said, “I have compassion for this crowd, because they have already been with Me three days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry, or they may faint along the way.”
33 Àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn sì dá a lóhùn pé, “Níbo ni àwa yóò ti rí oúnjẹ ní ijù níhìn-ín yìí láti fi bọ́ ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn yìí?”
The disciples replied, “Where in this desolate place could we find enough bread to feed such a large crowd?”
34 Jesu sì béèrè pé, “Ìṣù àkàrà mélòó ni ẹ̀yin ní?” Wọ́n sì dáhùn pé, “Àwa ní ìṣù àkàrà méje pẹ̀lú àwọn ẹja wẹ́wẹ́ díẹ̀.”
“How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked. “Seven,” they replied, “and a few small fish.”
35 Jesu sì sọ fún gbogbo ènìyàn kí wọn jókòó lórí ilẹ̀.
And He instructed the crowd to sit down on the ground.
36 Òun sì mú ìṣù àkàrà méje náà àti ẹja náà. Ó sì fi ọpẹ́ fún Ọlọ́run, ó bù wọ́n sì wẹ́wẹ́, ó sì fi wọ́n fún àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀. Wọ́n sì pín in fún àwọn ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn náà.
Taking the seven loaves and the fish, He gave thanks and broke them. Then He gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people.
37 Gbogbo wọn jẹ, wọ́n sì yó. Lẹ́yìn náà, àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn sì ṣa èyí tókù, ẹ̀kún agbọ̀n méje ni èyí tó ṣẹ́kù jẹ́.
They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
38 Gbogbo wọn sì jẹ́ ẹgbàajì ọkùnrin láì kan àwọn obìnrin àti ọmọdé.
A total of four thousand men were fed, in addition to women and children.
39 Lẹ́yìn náà, Jesu rán àwọn ènìyàn náà lọ sí ilé wọn, ó sì bọ́ sínú ọkọ̀, ó rékọjá lọ sí ẹkùn Magadani.
After Jesus had dismissed the crowds, He got into the boat and went to the region of Magadan.
