Mark 7
1 And the Pharisees and some of the scribes, coming from Jerusalem, are gathered together to him,
Ɛda bi, Farisifoɔ ne Atwerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ binom a wɔfiri Yerusalem baa Yesu nkyɛn.
2 and seeing some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is, unwashed, hands,
Wɔduruu hɔ no, wɔhunuu sɛ nʼasuafoɔ no bi redidi a wɔanhohoro wɔn nsa ho.
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;
Na Yudafoɔ no, ne titire no Farisifoɔ no, nnidi da, gye sɛ wɔahohoro wɔn nsa ho nyinaa, sɛdeɛ wɔn amanneɛ kyerɛ, ansa na wɔadidi.
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),
Na sɛ wɔfiri dwa so ba a, wɔhohoro wɔn nsa ansa na wɔadidi. Yei yɛ mmara bebree a wɔfiri tete adi so no mu baako. Na mmara no bi ne sɛ, wɔhohoro nkuruwa, asɛn ne nwowa mu.
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?
Enti, Atwerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ no bisaa Yesu sɛ, “Adɛn enti na wʼasuafoɔ no nni yɛn amanneɛ a ɛfiri tete no so? Ɛfiri sɛ, wɔdidi a, wɔnni ɛkan nhohoro wɔn nsa sɛdeɛ amanneɛ kyerɛ no.”
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.
Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Mo nyaatwomfoɔ! Asɛm a Yesaia ka faa mo ho sɛ, “‘Saa nnipa yi de wɔn ano na ɛdi me ni, nanso wɔn akoma mmɛn me ho baabiara no yɛ nokorɛ turodoo!
7 But in vain do they worship me, teaching [as their] teachings commandments of men.
Wɔsom me kwa; na wɔn nkyerɛkyerɛ yɛ nnipa nsa ano mmara’
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.
Mogya Onyankopɔn mmara a wahyehyɛ no de mo ankasa mo amanneɛ si ananmu.
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].
“Moahyɛ da sɛ mobɛpo Onyankopɔn mmara no, na moatiatia so, ama mo amanneɛ no atim.
10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, he who speaks ill of father or mother, let him surely die.
Ɛho nhwɛsoɔ bi ne sɛ, Mose de Onyankopɔn mmara a ɛka sɛ, ‘Di wʼagya ne wo maame ni’ no maa. Ɔkaa sɛ, ‘obiara a ɔbɛkasa atia nʼagya anaa ne maame no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔkum no.’
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...
Nanso, moka sɛ, ɛyɛ sɛ obi bɛka akyerɛ nʼagya anaa ne maame a adeɛ bi hia no no sɛ, ‘Merentumi mmoa mo! Ɛfiri sɛ, mede deɛ anka ɛsɛ sɛ mede ma mo no ama Onyankopɔn.’
12 And ye no longer suffer him to do anything for his father or his mother;
Enti, mobu Onyankopɔn mmara a ɔhyɛeɛ no so, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a mobɛtumi abɔ mo amanneɛ ho ban.
13 making void the word of God by your traditional teaching which ye have delivered; and many such like things ye do.
Yei yɛ nhwɛsoɔ baako pɛ. Nanso, bebree ka ho.”
14 And having called again the crowd, he said to them, Hear me, all [of you], and understand:
Afei, Yesu frɛɛ nnipakuo no baa ne nkyɛn, ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Mo nyinaa montie asɛm a mereka yi yie, na monte aseɛ.
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.
Adeɛ biara a ɛkɔ onipa mu no, ngu ne ho fi. Na mmom, deɛ ɛbɛfiri onipa mu aba no, na ɛgu ne ho fi.
16 If any one have ears to hear, let him hear.
Deɛ ɔwɔ aso a ɔbɛtie no ntie.”
17 And when he went indoors from the crowd, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.
Afei, Yesu firii nnipakuo no mu kɔɔ efie no, nʼasuafoɔ no bisaa no asɛm a ɔkaeɛ no ase.
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,
Ɔbisaa wɔn sɛ, “Mo nso monte asɛm a mekaeɛ no ase? Monhunu sɛ, deɛ modie no ngu mo ho fi anaa?
19 because it does not enter into his heart but into his belly, and goes out into the draught, purging all meats?
Ɛfiri sɛ, deɛ modie biara no ne mo akoma nni hwee yɛ, na mmom, ɛfa ɔyafunu no mu kɛkɛ.”
20 And he said, That which goes forth out of the man, that defiles the man.
Ɔtoaa so sɛ, “Deɛ ɛfiri onipa mu ba no na ɛgu ne ho fi.
21 For from within, out of the heart of men, go forth evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
Afei, deɛ ɛfiri nnipa akoma mu ba no, ɛde adwamammɔ, korɔno, awudie,
22 thefts, covetousness, wickednesses, deceit, licentiousness, a wicked eye, injurious language, haughtiness, folly;
adifudepɛ, amumuyɛ, nsisie, ahohwie, anibereɛ, abususɛm, ahantan ne nkwaseasɛm ba.
23 all these wicked things go forth from within and defile the man.
Saa nnebɔne yi nyinaa firi onipa mu na ɛba, na ɛnonom na ɛgu onipa ho fi a ɛmma ɔmfata Onyankopɔn anim.”
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.
Yesu firi hɔ no, ɔkɔɔ Tiro ne Sidon fam pɛɛ sɛ ɔrekɔhyɛ hɔ komm a, obiara nte ne nka, nanso anyɛ yie. Ɛda a ɔduruu hɔ ara pɛ, na nkurɔfoɔ tee ne nka sɛ waba hɔ.
25 But immediately a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell at his feet
Ɛhɔ ara na ɔbaa bi a honhommɔne hyɛ ne babaa ketewa bi mu baa ne nkyɛn. Na wate Yesu nka enti, ɔbɛbuu no nkotodwe.
26 (and the woman was a Greek, Syrophenician by race), and asked him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter.
Ɔbaa no srɛɛ no sɛ ɔntu saa honhommɔne no mfiri ne ba no mu mma no. Na saa ɔbaa yi yɛ Helani a wɔwoo no wɔ Siro-Foinike.
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 ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ɛsɛ sɛ mma no mee ansa. Na ɛnyɛ sɛ wɔde mma aduane ma nkraman.”
28 But she answered and says to him, Yea, Lord; for even the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.
Ɔbaa no nso buaa no sɛ, “Owura, ɛyɛ nokorɛ deɛ, nanso ɛyɛ a, wɔde aduane a aka wɔ mmɔfra no prɛte mu no bi ma nkraman a wɔhyehyɛ ɛpono no ase no.”
29 And he said to her, Because of this word, go thy way, the demon is gone out of thy daughter.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Wo mmuaeɛ pa no enti, masa wo babaa no yadeɛ. Kɔ efie. Honhommɔne no afiri ne mu afi.”
30 And having gone away to her house she found the demon gone out, and her daughter lying on the bed.
Ɔduruu efie no, ɔhunuu sɛ ne babaa no da mpa so dinn a honhommɔne no afiri ne mu ampa ara.
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 firi Tiro no, ɔfaa Sidon mansini a emu nkuro yɛ edu no so, bɛduruu Galilea Po so.
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.
Wɔde ɔsotifoɔ bi a ɔsane yɛ mumu brɛɛ no. Wɔn a wɔwɔ hɔ no nyinaa srɛɛ Yesu sɛ, ɔmfa ne nsa nka ɔyarefoɔ no, na ɔnsa no yadeɛ.
33 And having taken him away from the crowd apart, he put his fingers to his ears; and having spit, he touched his tongue;
Yesu sɔɔ ne mu de no firii nnipakuo no mu. Afei, ɔde ne nsateaa hyɛɛ ɔbarima no asom, tee ntasuo de kaa ne tɛkrɛma.
34 and looking up to heaven he groaned, and says to him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.
Ɔhwɛɛ soro, guu ahome teaam sɛ, “Hefata!” Aseɛ ne, “bue!”
35 And immediately his ears were opened, and the band of his tongue was loosed and he spoke right.
Amonom hɔ ara, ɔbarima no tumi tee asɛm, na ɔhyɛɛ aseɛ kasaeɛ!
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;
Yesu bɔɔ nnipakuo no ano sɛ, wɔmmmɔ asɛm no dawuro nkyerɛ obiara. Nanso, mpɛn dodoɔ a ɔbraa wɔn no, na trɛ ara na wɔn nso wɔretrɛ asɛm no mu.
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.
Saa asɛm yi maa wɔn ho dwirii wɔn yie. Enti, wɔkaa sɛ, “Yesu ayɛ adeɛ nyinaa yie, ɔma asotifoɔ mpo te asɛm, na mumu nso kasa!”
