Mark 7
1 And the Pharisees and some of the scribes, coming from Jerusalem, are gathered together to him,
Mafarisayo na baadhi ya waandishi ambao walikuwa wametokea Yerusalemu walikusanyika kumzunguka yeye.
2 and seeing some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is, unwashed, hands,
Na waliona kuwa baadhi ya wanafunzi wake walikula mkate kwa mikono najisi; ambayo haikuoshwa.
3 (for the Pharisees and all the Jews, unless they wash their hands diligently, do not eat, holding what has been delivered by the ancients;
(kwa Mafarisayo na Wayahudi wote hawali mpaka wameosha mikono yao vizuri; wanashikilia utamaduni wa wazee. Wakati
4 and [on coming] from the market-place, unless they are washed, they do not eat; and there are many other things which they have received to hold, the washing of cups and vessels, and brazen utensils, and couches),
Mafarisayo wanaporudi kutoka mahali pa soko, hawali mpaka wameoga kwanza. Na kuna sheria zingine ambazo wanazifuata kabisa, ikiwa ni pamoja na kuosha vikombe, masufuria, vyombo vya shaba, na hata viti vinavyotumika wakati wa chakula.)
5 then the Pharisees and the scribes ask him, Why do thy disciples not walk according to what has been delivered by the ancients, but eat the bread with defiled hands?
Mafarisayo na waandishi walimuuliza Yesu, “Kwa nini wanafunzi wako hawaishi kulingana na tamaduni za wazee, kwani wanakula mkate pasipo kunawa mikono?”
6 But he answering said to them, Well did Esaias prophesy concerning you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honour me with their lips, but their heart is far away from me.
Lakini yeye aliwaambia, “Isaya alitabiri vizuri kuhusu ninyi wanafiki, aliandika, 'Watu hawa wananiheshimu kwa midomo yao, lakini mioyo yao iko mbali na mimi.
7 But in vain do they worship me, teaching [as their] teachings commandments of men.
Wananifanyia ibaada zisizo na maana, wakifundisha sheria za wanadamu kama mapokeo yao.'
8 [For], leaving the commandment of God, ye hold what is delivered by men [to keep] — washings of vessels and cups, and many other such like things ye do.
Mmeiacha sheria ya Mungu na kushikilia kwa wepesi tamaduni za wanadamu.”
9 And he said to them, Well do ye set aside the commandment of God, that ye may observe what is delivered by yourselves [to keep].
Na akasema kwao, “Mmeikataa amri ya Mungu kwa urahisi ili kwamba mtunze tamaduni zenu!
10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, he who speaks ill of father or mother, let him surely die.
Kwa kuwa Musa alisema, 'mheshimu baba yako na mama yako,' na 'Yeye asemaye mabaya juu ya baba yake au mama yake hakika atakufa.'
11 But ye say, If a man say to his father or his mother, [It is] corban (that is, gift), whatsoever thou mightest have profit from me by...
Lakini mnasema, 'kama mtu akisema kwa baba yake au mama, “Msaada wowote ambao mngepokea kutoka kwangu ni hazina ya Hekalu,”' (hiyo ni kusema kwamba, 'imetolewa kwa Mungu')
12 And ye no longer suffer him to do anything for his father or his mother;
hivyo haumruhusu kufanya jambo lolote kwa ajili ya baba au mama yake.
13 making void the word of God by your traditional teaching which ye have delivered; and many such like things ye do.
Mnaifanya amri ya Mungu kuwa bure kwa kuleta tamaduni zenu. Na mambo mengi ya jinsi hiyo mnayoyafanya.”
14 And having called again the crowd, he said to them, Hear me, all [of you], and understand:
Aliwaita makutano tena na kuwaambia, “Mnisikilize mimi, ninyi nyote, na mnielewe.
15 There is nothing from outside a man entering into him which can defile him; but the things which go out from him, those it is which defile the man.
Hakuna chochote kutoka nje ya mtu ambacho chaweza kumchafua mtu kiingiapo kwake. Bali ni kile kimtokacho mtu ndicho kimchafuacho.
16 If any one have ears to hear, let him hear.
(Zingatia: mstari huu, “kama mtu yeyote ana masikio ya kusikia, na asikie” haumo kwenye nakala za kale).
17 And when he went indoors from the crowd, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.
Yesu alipowaacha makutano na kuingia nyumbani, wanafunzi wake wakamwuliza kuhusu mfano huo.
18 And he says to them, Are ye also thus unintelligent? Do ye not perceive that all that is outside entering into the man cannot defile him,
Yesu akasema, “Na ninyi pia bado hamjaelewa? Hamuoni kwamba chochote kimuingiacho mtu hakiwezi kumchafua,
19 because it does not enter into his heart but into his belly, and goes out into the draught, purging all meats?
kwa sababu hakiwezi kwenda kwenye moyo wake, lakini kinaingia katika tumbo lake na kisha kinapita kwenda chooni.” Kwa maelezo haya Yesu alivifanya vyakula vyote kuwa safi.
20 And he said, That which goes forth out of the man, that defiles the man.
Alisema, “Ni kile ambacho kinamtoka mtu ndicho kimchafuacho.
21 For from within, out of the heart of men, go forth evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
Kwa kuwa hutoka ndani ya mtu, nje ya moyo, hutoka mawazo maovu, zinaa, wizi, mauaji,
22 thefts, covetousness, wickednesses, deceit, licentiousness, a wicked eye, injurious language, haughtiness, folly;
uasherati, tamaa mbaya, uovu, udanganyifu, kujamiiana, wivu, kashfa, majivuno, ujinga.
23 all these wicked things go forth from within and defile the man.
Maovu haya yote yanatoka ndani, ndiyo yale yamchafuayo mtu.”
24 And he rose up and went away thence into the borders of Tyre and Sidon; and having entered into a house he would not have any one know [it], and he could not be hid.
Aliamka kutoka pale na kuondoka kwenda katika mkoa wa Tiro na Sidoni. Aliingia ndani na hakutaka mtu yeyote ajue kuwa alikuwa hapo, lakini haikuwezekana kumficha.
25 But immediately a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell at his feet
Lakini ghafla mwanamke, ambaye mtoto wake mdogo alikuwa na roho mchafu, alisikia habari zake, akaja, na akaanguka miguuni pake.
26 (and the woman was a Greek, Syrophenician by race), and asked him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter.
Mwanamke huyo alikuwa Myunani, wa kabila la Kifoeniki. Alimsihi yeye amfukuze pepo kutoka kwa binti yake.
27 But [Jesus] said to her, Suffer the children to be first filled; for it is not right to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs.
Yesu akamwambia mwanamke, “Waache watoto walishwe kwanza, kwa kuwa sio sawa kuuchukua mkate wa watoto na kuwatupia mbwa.”
28 But she answered and says to him, Yea, Lord; for even the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.
Lakini mwanamke akamjibu na kusema, “Ndiyo Bwana, hata mbwa chini ya meza hula mabaki ya chakula cha watoto.”
29 And he said to her, Because of this word, go thy way, the demon is gone out of thy daughter.
Akamwambia, “Kwa kuwa umesema hivi, uko huru kwenda. Pepo ameshamtoka binti yako.”
30 And having gone away to her house she found the demon gone out, and her daughter lying on the bed.
Mwanamke alirudi nyumbani kwake na akamkuta binti yake amelala kitandani, na pepo alikuwa amemtoka.
31 And again having left the borders of Tyre and Sidon, he came to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.
Yesu alitoka tena nje ya mkoa wa Tiro na kupitia Sidoni kuelekea Bahari ya Galilaya mpaka kanda ya Dikapolisi.
32 And they bring to him a deaf [man] who could not speak right, and they beseech him that he might lay his hand on him.
Na wakamletea mtu aliyekuwa kiziwi na alikuwa hawezi kuzungumza vizuri, walimsihi Yesu aweke mikono juu yake.
33 And having taken him away from the crowd apart, he put his fingers to his ears; and having spit, he touched his tongue;
Alimtoa nje ya kusanyiko kwa siri, na akaweka vidole vyake kwenye masikio yake, na baada ya kutema mate, aligusa ulimi wake.
34 and looking up to heaven he groaned, and says to him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.
Alitazama juu mbinguni, akahema na kumwambia, “Efata,” hiyo ni kusema “funguka!”
35 And immediately his ears were opened, and the band of his tongue was loosed and he spoke right.
Na muda ule ule masikio yakafunguka, na kilichokuwa kimezuia ulimi kiliharibiwa na akaweza kuongea vizuri.
36 And he charged them that they should speak to no one [of it]. But so much the more he charged them, so much the more abundantly they proclaimed it;
Na aliwaamuru wasimwambie mtu yeyote. Lakini kadri alivyowaamuru, ndivyo walivyotangaza habari hizo kwa wingi.
37 and they were astonished above measure, saying, He does all things well; he makes both the deaf to hear, and the speechless to speak.
Hakika walishangazwa, na kusema, “Amefanya kila kitu vizuri. Hata amewafanya viziwi kusikia na mabubu kuongea.”
