< Mark 7 >

1 Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes gathered together to him, having come from Jerusalem.
Na rĩrĩ, Afarisai na arutani amwe a watho arĩa moimĩte Jerusalemu makĩũngana harĩ Jesũ na
2 Now when they saw some of his disciples eating bread with defiled, that is unwashed, hands, they found fault.
makĩona arutwo ake amwe makĩrĩa irio na moko maarĩ na thaahu, ũguo nĩ ta kuuga, matethambĩte moko.
3 (For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands and forearms, holding to the tradition of the elders.
(Afarisai na Ayahudi othe matirĩĩaga irio matethambĩte moko mao wega kũringana na kĩrĩra gĩa athuuri.
4 They do not 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.)
Rĩrĩa moima ndũnyũ matingĩrĩa matambĩte gwĩthamba. Na nĩ marũmagia irĩra ingĩ, ta gũthambia ikombe, na nyũngũ o na mbirika).
5 The Pharisees and the scribes asked him, “Why do not your disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with unwashed hands?”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Afarisai na Arutani a watho makĩũria Jesũ atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmaga arutwo aku mage gũtũũra kũringana na irĩra cia athuuri, na makarĩĩaga irio na moko marĩ na thaahu?”
6 He answered 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.
Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Isaia aaririe ma rĩrĩa aarathire ũhoro wanyu, inyuĩ hinga ici; o ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ: “‘Andũ aya maaheaga gĩtĩĩo na mĩromo, no ngoro ciao ikoragwo irĩ kũraya na niĩ.
7 They worship me in vain, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’
Nao maahooyaga o tũhũ; morutani marĩa marutanaga no mawatho ma andũ.’
8 “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.”
Mũtiganĩirie maathani ma Ngai, mũkarũmia irĩra cia andũ.”
9 He said to them, “Full well do you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition.
Agĩcooka akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ nĩmũgĩĩte na njĩra njega ya gũtiganĩria maathani ma Ngai atĩ nĩguo mũrũmie irĩra cianyu ene!
10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother;’ and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.’
Nĩgũkorwo Musa oigire atĩrĩ, ‘Tĩĩa thoguo na nyũkwa,’ na, ‘Ũrĩa wothe ũkaaruma ithe kana nyina no nginya ooragwo.’
11 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,
No inyuĩ muugaga atĩ mũndũ angĩĩra ithe kana nyina atĩrĩ, ‘Kĩrĩa ingĩagũteithia nakĩo nĩ Korubani’ (ũguo nĩ kuuga, nĩ kĩheo kĩamũrĩre Ngai),
12 “then you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or his mother,
na mũticookaga kũmwĩtĩkĩria ekĩre ithe kana nyina ũndũ.
13 making void the word of God by your tradition which you have handed down. You do many things like this.”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũkaagithia kiugo kĩa Ngai kĩene na ũndũ wa kĩrĩra kĩanyu kĩrĩa mũthiiaga mũgĩtiganagĩra. Na nĩmwĩkaga maũndũ maingĩ ta macio.”
14 He called all the multitude to himself and said to them, “Hear me, all of you, and understand.
O rĩngĩ Jesũ agĩĩta kĩrĩndĩ harĩ we agĩkĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ andũ aya othe, thikĩrĩriai na mũigue.
15 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.
Gũtirĩ kĩndũ kĩrĩ nja ya mũndũ kĩngĩmũgwatia ‘thaahu’ nĩ ũndũ wa gũtoonya thĩinĩ wake. No rĩrĩ, kĩrĩa kiumaga thĩinĩ wa mũndũ nĩkĩo kĩmũgwatagia ‘thaahu’.”
16 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!”
(Aakorwo mũndũ arĩ na matũ ma kũigua, nĩakĩigue).
17 When he had entered into a house away from the multitude, his disciples asked him about the parable.
Thuutha wa gũtigana na kĩrĩndĩ na gũtoonya nyũmba, arutwo ake makĩmũũria ũhoro wa ngerekano ĩyo.
18 He said to them, “Are you also without understanding? Do not you perceive that whatever goes into the man from outside cannot defile him,
Nake Jesũ akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “O na inyuĩ mũtirĩ mũrataũkĩrwo o na rĩu? Kaĩ mũtooĩ atĩ gũtirĩ kĩndũ gĩtoonyaga thĩinĩ wa mũndũ kuuma na nja kĩngĩmũgwatia thaahu?
19 because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, then into the latrine, making all foods clean?”
Nĩgũkorwo gĩtitoonyaga ngoro-inĩ yake, no gĩtoonyaga nda yake gĩgacooka gĩkoima mwĩrĩ-inĩ wake.” (Akiuga ũguo-rĩ, Jesũ nĩgũtua aatuaga atĩ irio ciothe itirĩ thaahu).
20 He said, “That which proceeds out of the man, that defiles the man.
Agĩthiĩ na mbere na kwaria, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Kĩrĩa kiumaga thĩinĩ wa mũndũ nĩkĩo kĩmũgwatagia thaahu.
21 For from within, out of the hearts of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual sins, murders, thefts,
Nĩgũkorwo ngoro-inĩ cia andũ nĩkuo kuumaga meciiria mooru, ũhũũri maraya, na ũici, na ũragani, na ũtharia,
22 covetings, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness.
na ũkoroku, na rũmena, na maheeni, na ũũra-thoni, na ũiru, na njambanio, na mwĩtĩĩo, o na ũrimũ.
23 All these evil things come from within and defile the man.”
Maũru maya mothe moimaga thĩinĩ wa mũndũ na makamũgwatia thaahu.”
24 From there he arose and went away into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. He entered into a house and did not want anyone to know it, but he could not escape notice.
Nake Jesũ akiuma kũu agĩthiĩ gũkuhĩ na Turo. Agĩtoonya nyũmba ĩmwe na ndeendaga mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ amenye atĩ arĩ kũu; no ndangĩahotire kwĩhitha.
25 For a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet.
Na rĩrĩ, mũtumia warĩ na kairĩtu kaarĩ na ngoma thũku rĩrĩa aiguire ũhoro wake, agĩũka akĩĩgũithia thĩ magũrũ-inĩ make.
26 Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. She begged him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter.
Mũtumia ũcio aarĩ Mũyunani, waciarĩirwo Foinike ya Suriata. Nake agĩthaitha Jesũ aingate ngoma ĩyo thũku yume thĩinĩ wa kairĩtu gake.
27 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.”
Nake Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Reke ciana ciambe irĩe ihũũne, nĩgũkorwo ti wega kuoya mĩgate ya ciana na kũmĩikĩria ngui.”
28 But she answered him, “Yes, Lord. Yet even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”
Nake mũtumia ũcio akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Noguo Mwathani, no o na ngui irĩ rungu rwa metha nĩ irĩĩaga rũitĩki rũrĩa rũitagwo nĩ ciana.”
29 He said to her, “For this saying, go your way. The demon has gone out of your daughter.”
Jesũ agĩcooka akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo wacookia-rĩ, wĩthiĩre; ndaimono nĩyoima thĩinĩ wa mwarĩguo.”
30 She went away to her house, and found the child having been laid on the bed, with the demon gone out.
Mũtumia ũcio akĩinũka mũciĩ agĩkora kaana gake gakomete ũrĩrĩ-inĩ na ndaimono ĩrĩkĩtie gũthiĩ.
31 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.
Ningĩ Jesũ akiuma kũu gũkuhĩ na Turo agĩtuĩkanĩria Sidoni, agĩikũrũka nginya iria-inĩ rĩa Galili, agĩtoonya bũrũri wa Dekapoli.
32 They brought to him one who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech. They begged him to lay his hand on him.
Arĩ kũu andũ amwe makĩmũrehere mũndũ ũtaiguaga na ũtaaragia, makĩmũthaitha amũigĩrĩre guoko.
33 He took him aside from the multitude privately and put his fingers into his ears; and he spat and touched his tongue.
Na thuutha wa kũmũtwara handũ keheri-inĩ, haraaya na kĩrĩndĩ, Jesũ agĩtoonyia ciara ciake matũ ma mũndũ ũcio. Agĩcooka agĩtua mata na akĩhutia rũrĩmĩ rwa mũndũ ũcio namo.
34 Looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, “Ephphatha!” that is, “Be opened!”
Akĩrora na igũrũ, akĩhũmũka na hinya, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Efatha!” (ũguo nĩ kuuga, “Hingũka!”).
35 Immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was released, and he spoke clearly.
Aarĩkia kuuga ũguo matũ ma mũndũ ũcio makĩhingũka na rũrĩmĩ rwake rũkĩregera akĩambĩrĩria kwaria o wega.
36 He commanded them that they should tell no one, but the more he commanded them, so much the more widely they proclaimed it.
Nake Jesũ akĩmaatha matikeere mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ. No ũrĩa akĩragĩrĩria kũmakaania, noguo makĩragĩrĩria kwaria mũno ũhoro ũcio.
37 They were astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well. He makes even the deaf hear and the mute speak!”
Nao andũ makĩgega mũno makĩria, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩekĩte maũndũ mothe wega. O na agatũmaga andũ arĩa mataiguaga maigue na arĩa mataaragia maarie.”
