Mark 7
1 One day the Pharisees and some of the teachers of the Law who had come from Jerusalem gathered round Jesus.
Hambu atahori Farisi ro meser agama bubꞌueꞌ esa rema mia Yerusalem, fo randaa ro Yesus.
2 They had noticed that some of his disciples ate their food with their hands “defiled,” by which they meant unwashed.
Atahori Farisi naa ra toꞌu rahereꞌ sira adat Yahudi na. Onaꞌ a, mete ma atahori rae raa, musi safe lima na tungga adat hihii-nanau na. Mete ma baliꞌ mia pasar, sira musi rariu dei. Losa-losa sira bua dapu na boe o, onaꞌ a huraꞌ, pinggaꞌ, nggalas, ceret, basa se musi safe tungga adat hihii na, dei fo pake raa. Mete ma hambu atahori Yahudi laen nda tungga adat naa sa, atahori Farisi ra ramanasa. Naa de, leleꞌ ara mete-rita Yesus mana tungga nara raa nda safe lima nara tungga adat hihii na, ara ramanasa. Basa ma ara rema fee salaꞌ neu Yesus rae, “Saa de mana tungga mara raa, nda safe lima nara sa? Naa, sira labꞌan basa hita adat na mia bei-baꞌi tara!”
3 (For the Pharisees, and indeed all strict Jews, will not eat without first scrupulously washing their hands, holding in this to the traditions of their ancestors.
4 When they come from market, they will not eat without first sprinkling themselves; and there are many other customs which they have inherited and hold to, such as the ceremonial washing of cups, and jugs, and copper pans).
5 So the Pharisees and the teachers of the Law asked Jesus this question – ‘How is it that your disciples do not follow the traditions of our ancestors, but eat their food with defiled hands?’
6 His answer was, ‘It was well said by Isaiah when he prophesied about you hypocrites in the words – “This is a people who honour me with their lips, while their hearts are far removed from me;
Te Yesus nataa nae, “Hei ia ra memaꞌ atahori mana oꞌolaꞌ laen, tao laen! Mia dalahulu naa Baꞌi Yesaya suraꞌ hela Lamatualain hara-lii na oi, ‘Atahori ia ra koa-kio Au, no akaꞌ bafa a, te nda no rala nara sa. Sira tao taꞌo naa, o parsuma a. Sira nda fadꞌuli Au hihii ngga sa, te sira tungga akaꞌ a atahori hihii na. Hei onaꞌ naa boe.
7 but vainly do they worship me, For they teach but human precepts.”
8 You neglect God’s commandments and hold to human traditions.
Hei lao hela Lamatualain hihii na, fo tungga atahori adat na. Hei memaꞌ mahine mara seli tao onaꞌ a naa!
9 Wisely do you set aside God’s commandments,’ he exclaimed, ‘to keep your own traditions!
10 For while Moses said “Honour your father and your mother,” and “Let anyone who abuses their father or mother suffer death,”
Lele uluꞌ a Baꞌi Musa nafadꞌe Lamatualain parenda na nae, ‘Fee hadat neu hei papa-mama mara.’ Ma oi, ‘Mete ma atahori se rarai eni papa-mama na, musi hukun misa e.’
11 you say “If a person says to their father or mother ‘Whatever of mine might have been of service to you is Corban’” (which means “Set apart for God”) –
Lamatualain nanori taꞌo naa, te hei minori fea. Hei mae, ‘Mete ma atahori helu basa fee buas esa neu Lamatualain, mae eni papa-mama na doidꞌoso rae mate o, te buas naa nda bole pake tulu-fali neu se sa, huu helu basa fee neu Lamatualain ena.’
12 why, then you do not allow them to do anything further for their father or mother!
13 In this way you nullify the words of God by your traditions, which you hand down; and you do many similar things.’
Naa de, Au ufadꞌe basa faꞌ ra, hei nggari Lamatualain hihii na, de nggati no atoran feuꞌ. Hei nggati basa atoran naeꞌ taꞌo naa ena.”
14 Then Jesus called the people to him again, and said, ‘Listen to me, all of you, and mark my words.
Basa ma, Yesus noꞌe atahori laen sia naa, de nae, “Pasa ndiki mara dei, fo mihine.
15 There is nothing external to a person, which by going into them can defile them; but the things that come out of a person are the things that defile them.’
Saa fo masoꞌ nisiꞌ teiꞌ a rala, naa nda tao nanggenggeo atahori sa. Te saa fo kalua dea neu, naa mana tao nanggenggeo.
[Seka mandikiꞌ, rena matalolole o!”]
17 When Jesus went indoors, away from the crowd, his disciples began questioning him about this saying.
Basa ma Yesus no mana tungga nara lao hela atahori ra, de masoꞌ risiꞌ ume sa rala. Boe ma mana tungga nara ratane nekendandaaꞌ naa sosoa na.
18 ‘What, do even you understand so little?’ exclaimed Jesus. ‘Don’t you see that there is nothing external to a person, which by going into a person, can defile them,
Yesus nataa nae, “Hei o nda mihine sa, do? Sosoa na taꞌo ia: saa fo atahori raa, naa maloleꞌ. Te saa fo kalua, naa nda maloleꞌ sa.
19 because it does not pass into his heart, but into his stomach, and is afterwards got rid of?’ – in saying this Jesus pronounced all food clean.
Saa fo hita taa, masoꞌ nisiꞌ tei tara, basa naa kalua seluꞌ fali. (Lamatuaꞌ Yesus hihii na oi atahori bole raa sudꞌiꞌ saa. Nda ena-ai sa.)
20 ‘It is what comes out from a person,’ he added, ‘that defiles them,
Saa fo kalua mia atahori rala na, naa fo tao nanggenggeo losa Lamatualain melu-mudꞌu eni, boe ma nda nau naꞌabꞌue no e sa.
21 for it is from within, out of the hearts of people, that there come evil thoughts – sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,
Dedꞌea deꞌulakaꞌ naeꞌ kalua mia atahori rala nara! Sama onaꞌ dudꞌuꞌa deꞌulaka, hohongge, nemenaꞌo, tisa atahori,
22 greed, wickedness, deceit, indecency, envy, slander, haughtiness, folly;
bare-naꞌo, deꞌulakaꞌ, lelekoꞌ, tungga hihii na, dale loleꞌ, olaꞌ natudꞌa atahori, koao, nda nahine hadat sa, ma langga fatu.
23 all these wicked things come from within, and do defile a person.’
Basa deꞌulakaꞌ naa ra, kalua mia atahori rala nara. Naa, mana tao nalutu se. Lamatualain melu-mudꞌu se bee.”
24 On leaving that place, Jesus went to the district of Tyre and Sidon. He went into a house, and did not wish anyone to know it, but could not escape notice.
Basa boe, Yesus se lao hela mamanaꞌ naa, de risiꞌ kamboꞌ esa nara na Tirus. Losa naa, ara masoꞌ risiꞌ ume esa, huu Yesus nda nau atahori bubꞌuluꞌ Eni sia naa sa. Te Eni nda bisa keke sa.
25 For a woman, whose little daughter had a foul spirit in her, heard of him immediately, and came and threw herself at his feet –
Sa naa hambu mama esa nda atahori Yahudi sa. Bꞌonggi eni mia Fenesia sia propensi Siria. Ana rena Yesus nema, ana neu noꞌe Yesus fo oi hendi nitu mia ana feto na.
26 the woman was a foreigner, from Syrian Phoenicia – and she begged him to drive the demon out of her daughter.
27 ‘Let the children be satisfied first,’ answered Jesus. ‘For it is not fair to take the children’s food, and throw it to dogs.’
Te Yesus nggari dedꞌeat nae, “Anaꞌ ra musi raa raꞌahuluꞌ, dei fo nggari lena na neu busa!” (No hihii maꞌafuniꞌ, Yesus musi tulu-fali Eni atahori Yahudi nara dei, dei fo bisa tulu-fali atahori feaꞌ ra).
28 ‘Yes, Master,’ she replied. ‘Even the dogs under the table do feed on the children’s crumbs.’
Te mama naa naselu nae, “Tebꞌe, Papa! Te busa sia mei a raeꞌ, naa nanaat mana tudꞌa mia anaꞌ a pinggan.” (No hihiiꞌ na, leleꞌ anaꞌ ra raa, busa o hambu naa boe. Mae Yesus tulu-fali Eni atahori nara, Eni o musi mete atahori feaꞌ ra boe.)
29 ‘For saying that,’ he answered, ‘you may go. The demon has gone out of your daughter.’
Rena taꞌo naa, Yesus nafadꞌe nae, “Wei! Mama olaꞌ ndaa lao esaꞌ! De mama baliꞌ leo, te nitu a lao hela mama ana na ena.”
30 The woman went home, and found the child lying on her bed, and the demon gone.
Basa ma, mama naa baliꞌ. Losa ume, ana na mana sunggu masambetaꞌ. Nitu a memaꞌ lao hela e.
31 On returning from the district of Tyre, Jesus went, by way of Sidon, to the Sea of Galilee, across the district of the Ten Towns.
Basa ma, Yesus lao hela kambo Tirus, tungga dala tasi suu na seli kambo Sidꞌon. Mia naa, ara lao rakandoo losa dano Galilea. Basa ma ara lao risiꞌ nusaꞌ esa no kamboꞌ sanahulu fo roꞌe rae ‘Dekapolis’.
32 Some people brought to him a man who was deaf and almost dumb, and they begged Jesus to place his hand on him.
Sa naa hambu atahori esa mabꞌobꞌeꞌ ma mbakeꞌ. Nono nara rendi e nisiꞌ Yesus. Ara roꞌe Yesus tao lima neu langga na fo nahai e.
33 Jesus took him aside from the crowd quietly, put his fingers into the man’s ears, and touched his tongue with saliva.
Boe ma Yesus lao hela atahori naeꞌ naa ra, de mesaꞌ ne neu no atahori naa. Yesus mbau lima uꞌu na neu atahori naa ndiki na ruꞌa se rala. Basa ma, Ana tao miru neu lima uꞌu na, de nggama atahori naa maa na.
34 Then, looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to the man, ‘Ephphatha!’ which means “Be opened.”
Ana oroꞌa mbali lalai ata, lea hahae naruꞌ, basa ma parenda nae, “Efata” (sosoa na oi “Tabuka leon!”)
35 The man’s ears were opened, the string of his tongue was freed, and he began to talk plainly.
Ana olaꞌ taꞌo naa, boe ma atahori naa ndiki na rena neuꞌ ena. Ma maa baraꞌaiꞌ na, bangganaꞌu neuꞌ ena, losa ana olaꞌ malole.
36 Jesus insisted on their not telling anyone; but the more he insisted, the more perseveringly they made it known,
Basa ma, ruꞌa se baliꞌ risiꞌ atahori naeꞌ naa ra. Yesus ai se nae, “Rena! Hei afiꞌ mifadꞌe atahori mae, Au uhaiꞌ atahori ia ena.” Mae Yesus ena-ai se, te ara dui sia bee-bꞌee.
37 and a profound impression was made on the people. ‘He has done everything well!’ they exclaimed. ‘He makes even the deaf hear and the dumb speak!’
Atahori mana rena dudꞌuit naa ra, ndindiiꞌ a. De ara ola-olaꞌ rae, “Mana seli! Atahori ia tao basa e, dadꞌi malole. Atahori mbakeꞌ rena. Atahori mabꞌobꞌeꞌ ola-olaꞌ.”
