Mark 7
1 Kutu mwet Pharisee, oayapa kutu mwet luti Ma Sap ma tuku Jerusalem me, elos tukeni nu yurin Jesus.
One day the Pharisees came to him in a body with some Scribes who had come from Jerusalem.
2 Ac elos liye lah kutu sin mwet tumal lutlut elos mongo ke elos tiana aknasnasye paolos in oana ouiya se ma mwet Pharisee elos oakiya nu sin mwet uh.
They had noticed that some of his disciples were eating with "common," that is to say, unwashed hands.
3 (Tuh mwet Pharisee ac mwet Jew nukewa elos oru oana ke mwet matu lalos tuh luti nu selos: elos tia ku in mongo elos fin tia aknasnasye paolos oana oakwuk lalos;
For the Pharisees and all of the Jews do not eat until they have ceremoniously washed their hands in obedience to the tradition of the elders;
4 ku tia pac kang kutena ma su tuku nien kuka me elos fin tia aknasnasye meet. Ac elos akfalye pac ouiya puspis ma elos eis sin mwet matu lalos, oana ouiya nu ke aknasnasye cup, tup, ahlu bronze, ac mwe oan.)
and when they come from the market-place they do not eat without bathing first. and they have many other customs which they have received and observe, such as the washing of cups and jugs and copper pans.
5 Ouinge mwet Pharisee ac mwet luti Ma Sap elos siyuk sel Jesus, “Efu ku mwet tomom lutlut elos tia fahsr fal nu ke mwe luti ma kut eis sin mwet matu lasr, a elos mongo ke paolos tia aknasnasyeyukla?”
So the Pharisees and Scribes asked him. "Why do your disciples not follow the traditions of the elders? Why do they eat with ‘common’ unwashed hands?"
6 Jesus el fahk nu selos, “Pwayena kas in palu lal Isaiah keiwos! Kowos mwet wosounkas, oana ma el simusla ke el fahk, ‘God El fahk, Mwet inge sunakinyu ke kas lalos, A insialos loesla likiyu.
"Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, hypocrites," he answered. "As it is written, "This people honor me with their lips, While their hearts are far from me;
7 Wangin sripa elos in alu nu sik, Mweyen elos luti oakwuk ma mwet uh orala Oana in ma sap luk!’
But in vain do they worship me, For their teaching is only human precepts.
8 “Kowos pilesru ma God El sapkin, ac ukwe mwe luti lun mwet uh.”
"You neglect the commandment of God, and hold fast the traditions of men."
9 Ac el fahk pac nu selos, “Kowos arulana usrnguk in konauk inkanek in sisla ma sap lun God tuh kowos in sruokyana kas matu lowos.
"It is praiseworthy, is it," he exclaimed, "to reject the command of God that you may keep your tradition!
10 Tuh Moses el fahk, ‘Sunakin papa tomom ac nina kiom,’ oayapa el fahk, ‘El su selngawi papa tumal ku nina kial, fah anwuki el.’
For although Moses said, Honor your father and mother, and Let him who curses father or mother suffer death,
11 A kowos fahk mu sie mwet fin oasr ma el ku in sang kasru papa ku nina kial, a el fahk mu ‘Corban,’ (kalmac pa, Itukyang nu sin God),
you say that if a man tells his father or mother, ‘This money which otherwise you would have received from me, is Korban’ (that is, a thing devoted to God),
12 na kowos fuhlella mu el tia enenu in kasru papa tumal ku nina kial.
you exempt him from doing any service for his father or mother.
13 Ke kowos oru ouinge, kowos aklusrongtenye kas lun God ke kowos luti nu sin mwet uh oakwuk lun mwet matu lowos. Ac oasr pac ma puspis ouinge ma kowos oru.”
Thus by your tradition which you have handed down you set at naught the word of God; and you do many other things like that."
14 Na Jesus el sifil pangonma un mwet uh nu yorol ac fahk nu selos, “Kowos nukewa in porongeyu ac kalem kac.
Then again he called the crowd to him and said.
15 Tia ma ilyak nu in sie mwet pa ku in akfohkfokyal, a ma su illa liki sie mwet pa ac akfohkfokyal.
"Listen to me, all of you, and understand; there is nothing outside a man which by entering in can defile him; but it is what comes from him that defiled him."
16 Kowos in porongo, fin oasr srewos.”
17 Ke el som liki un mwet uh ac ilyak nu in lohm uh, mwet tumal lutlut elos siyuk elan aketeya pupulyuk se inge.
After he had left the crowd and gone indoors his disciples began asking him about the parable.
18 Ac el fahk nu selos, “Ya kowos nikin oapana mwet uh? Mea, kowos tia kalem lah wangin kutena ma su ilyak nu in mwet se ku in akfohkfokyal,
"Are even you without understanding?" he said. "Do you not perceive that nothing whatever from without can defile a man by entering him,
19 mweyen mau tia ilyak nu in nunak lal, a nu insial ac illa liki insial.” (Ke el fahk ouinge, el akkalemye lah mwe mongo nukewa nasnas in mongo kac.)
because it does not go into his heart, but into his belly, and passes away, ejected from him?" By these words he pronounced all foods clean.
20 Ac El sifilpa fahk, “Ma su illa liki sie mwet pa ac akfohkfokyal.
"What comes out of a man," he continued, "is what defiles him.
21 Tuh liki insien sie mwet nunak koluk uh sikyak ma kolol in kosro, pisrapasr, akmas,
From within, from the heart of man, proceed evil purposes -
22 kosro inmasrlon mwet payuk, rapku, oru ouiya koluk; kutasrik, elah koluk, ngetnget in mwel, lesrik, inse fulat, ac supoklot.
fornication, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, wantonness, envy, slander, arrogance, reckless folly -
23 Ma koluk inge nukewa tuku luin sie mwet ac akfohkfokyalla.”
all these wicked things issue from within and defile a man."
24 Na Jesus el illa ac som nu in acn apkuran nu ke siti Tyre. El utyak nu in sie lohm ac tia lungse mwet uh in etu lah el oasr we, tusruktu el koflana wikla.
After he rose and left that place, he went away into the region of Tyre and Sidon. Here he went into a house and wished no one to know it but he could not be hid.
25 Ac sie mutan su acn natul oasr ngun fohkfok yorol, ke el lohng ke Jesus, el sulaklak na tuku nu yorol ac putati nu ke nial.
Forthwith a woman whose little daughter was possessed by an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet
26 Mutan sac el sie mutan pegan su isusla in acn Phoenicia in facl Syria. El kwafe sin Jesus elan sisla demon uh liki acn natul.
(the woman was a Greek, a Syro-phoenician by race), and again and again she begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter.
27 A Jesus el topuk ac fahk, “Lela kut in kiteya tulik uh meet. Tia wo in eisla mongo nun tulik ac sisla nu sin kosro ngalngul.”
"Let the children be filled first," he said to her. "It is unseemly to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs."
28 Mutan sac topuk ac fahk, “Aok Leum, tusruktu finne kosro ngalngul ye tepu uh, elos kang pac kutkut in mongo nun tulik uh.”
"True, Master," she answered, "but the dogs under the table do pick up the children’s crumbs."
29 Ouinge Jesus el fahk nu sel, “Ke sripen top lom an, folokla nu in lohm sum ac kom ac fah liye lah demon sac illa tari liki acn nutum!”
"For that saying of yours, go home," he replied; "the demon has departed from your daughter."
30 Na mutan sac som nu lohm sel ac liye lah tulik se natul ah oan fin mwe oan kial, ac demon sac som lukel tari.
So she went home, and found the child lying in her bed and the demon departed.
31 Ac Jesus el sifil som liki acn atulani in acn Tyre ac fahsr sasla acn Sidon nu ke Lulu Galilee, ut ke inkanek ma fahsr nu ke Siti Singoul ah.
Again he left the region of Tyre, and passed through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, crossing the District of the Ten Towns.
32 Kutu mwet elos use sie mwet sulohngkas ac kas lohlo nu yurin Jesus, ac elos kwafe sel tuh elan filiya paol nu facl.
And they brought to him a deaf man who stammered, and begged him to lay his hands upon him.
33 Ac Jesus el usalla liki un mwet uh nu yen eltal mukena we, na el sang kufinpaol nu insracl, ac el anila ac kahlye lohul.
So Jesus took him aside from the crowd, by himself, and put his finger in the man’s ears, and moistened his tongue with saliva;
34 Na Jesus el ngetak nu inkusrao ac saola ac fahk nu sin mwet sac, [“Ephphatha”], oana fahk, “In ikakla!”
then looking up to heaven with a sigh, he said to him, "Ephphatha!" (that is, "Be opened.")
35 In pacl sacna sren mukul sac ikakla, ac ma kapriyen lohul taltalla, ac el kaskas kalem.
And his ears were opened and the bond of his tongue was loosened, and he spoke plainly.
36 Na Jesus el sap ku nu sin mwet uh elos in tia fahk nu sin kutena mwet. A ke el akyokye in wili tuh elos in tia fahk, elos arulana akyokye fahkak lalos ke ma el oru.
Then Jesus charged them not to tell any one, but the more he charged them, the more they published it;
37 Ac elos nukewa su lohng kac, elos arulana lut ac fahk, “Ma nukewa el oru uh wolana! El oru mwet sulohngkas in ku in lohng, ac mwet kofla kas in ku in kaskas!”
and people were amazed beyond measure saying. "How successfully he does things! Even the deaf he makes to hear, and the dumb to speak."
