ASJ
Jobɛ chimu Bɛfarasii bɛ bɛniiŋ bamu bɛ tɛ̀ tiifi bɛnchi bɛ Nyɔ-ɔ dza Jɛrosalɛŋ be bɛ be banchɛ li Jiso-o lichiŋ.
BSB
BSB:
Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus,
2
ASJ
Be dza be ŋɛŋ bɔɔŋ bɛ kintutu-u bɛ Jiso-o bamu jii biee tsaŋ tii, fi nuuŋ le be ti mɛɛŋ ki tsootsɛ kɛ tsaŋ kɛ.
BSB
BSB:
and they saw some of His disciples eating with hands that were defiled—that is, unwashed.
3
ASJ
Bɛfarasii mɔɔ Bɛjuu bɛchu tɛ̀ biki nuuŋ ntsɛ wu kwɛɛŋ wu bɛ tee bɛ bee bɛ ŋkosi, le nuuŋ wi tɛ̀ ji biee fuki fɛ mwɛ tsootsɛ tsaŋ nɛɛ si bɛ tɛ̀ shiiŋ bɛ tsootsi nsiŋ kɛ.
BSB
BSB:
Now in holding to the tradition of the elders, the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat until they wash their hands ceremonially.
4
ASJ
Le nuuŋ wi tɛ̀ ji tɛ fiee fɛ mwɛ koo fɛwaŋ fuki fɛ wu tsootsɛ bikaa bɛ tsaŋ yee lɛ dze yi lu nsiŋ kɛ. Be tuu be feti biee bimu bi ntsɛ wu kwɛɛŋ lɛ ŋge, si ntsootsɛ muka bɛ bibɛɛŋ mɔɔ sháŋ.
BSB
BSB:
And on returning from the market, they do not eat unless they wash. And there are many other traditions for them to observe, including the washing of cups, pitchers, kettles, and couches for dining.
5
ASJ
Bɛfarasii bɛ bɛniiŋ bɛ tiifi bɛnchi bɛlu tɛ̀ bii li Jiso laa, “Ɛ kii la fi bɔɔŋ bo bɛ kintutu biki yɛ ntsɛ wu kwɛɛŋ wu bɛtaa bɛsɛŋ bɛ ŋkosi kɛ? Ɛ kii la fi be jii biee tsaŋ tii?”
BSB
BSB:
So the Pharisees and scribes questioned Jesus: “Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders? Instead, they eat with defiled hands.”
6
ASJ
Jiso tuu li bee le, “Ɛsaya ntomfɔŋ wu Nyɔ tɛ̀ tee chɛɛŋ kii beŋ le nɛ baa bɛniiŋ bɛ nimi-i. Nɛ feti baa nɛɛ nuuŋ fiee fi bɛ tɛ̀ tsɛɛ, Nyɔ tiiti le, ‘Bɛniiŋ bani guundi mi nuuŋ bɛ bimfimu, shéŋ yibe nuuŋ mfiiŋ li mi-i.
BSB
BSB:
Jesus answered them,
“Isaiah prophesied correctly about you hypocrites, as it is written: ‘These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me.
7
ASJ
Be guundi mi nuuŋ li yee li, kifɛ be dzeti biee bi bɛniiŋ beechi, be tiifi le ɛ jɛ yɛŋ’.
BSB
BSB:
They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’
8
ASJ
Ɛ nɛɛ lɛ si nɛ chiiŋgi baa bɛnchi bɛ Nyɔ-ɔ, nɛ kichi nuuŋ bɛ bɛniiŋ gɛɛ.”
BSB
BSB:
You have disregarded the commandment of God to keep the tradition of men.”
9
ASJ
Jiso se tee li bee le, “Nɛ gbɛŋgi nɛ kii faŋu bɛnchi bɛ Nyɔ-ɔ le se nɛ ni nɛ biki nuuŋ bɛnɛ.
BSB
BSB:
He went on to say,
“You neatly set aside the command of God to maintain your own tradition.
10
ASJ
Fi fiɛɛ ɛ Mɔɔsɛ tɛ̀ tee le, ‘Yooki chaa bee na.’ Tuu tee tɛ le, ‘Ɛ wi gaa tee kɛ ni, bɛ wo mwɛ dududu.’
BSB
BSB:
For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’ and ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’
11
ASJ
Se nuuŋ le, nɛ tiiti baa finɛ le, ‘Ɛ wi dza wu tee li tee li kɛ li ni-i le fiee fi bee nuuŋ wu fi tee kɛ ni lu, le fiee filu to fiɛɛ Kɔbaŋ,’ fi nuuŋ le fi to fiɛɛ fiee fi Nyɔ-ɔ,
BSB
BSB:
But you say that if a man says to his father or mother, ‘Whatever you would have received from me is Corban’ (that is, a gift devoted to God),
12
ASJ
kɛ mɛɛŋ yɛ beŋ le dzɔɔ fiee filu fi tee kɛ ni lu kɛ.
BSB
BSB:
he is no longer permitted to do anything for his father or mother.
13
ASJ
Nɛ feti baa lɛ, nɛ feti jɛ yi Nyɔ tuu fiee fi yee kii ntsɛ wunɛ wu kwɛɛŋ, wu nɛ tiifi bɛniiŋ lu. Biee bimu se biɛɛ tɛ lu ŋge si bini bi nɛ feti.”
BSB
BSB:
Thus you nullify the word of God by the tradition you have handed down. And you do so in many such matters.”
14
ASJ
Jiso dza tuu teeŋ bɛniiŋ le be bɛ, tee li bee le, “Beŋ bɛchu yikɛ yɛɛŋ nɛ woo fiee fi ntiiti, nɛ kɛɛ bujɔŋ.
BSB
BSB:
Once again Jesus called the crowd to Him and said,
“All of you, listen to Me and understand:
15
ASJ
Fiee fimu nuuŋ yɛ lu lɛkuuŋ fi nuuŋ fi lɛ li wi-i fi liibi wi kɛ. Ɛ fiee fi buti li wi-i, fi nuuŋ fi liibi wi. [
BSB
BSB:
Nothing that enters a man from the outside can defile him; but the things that come out of a man, these are what defile him.”
16
ASJ
Wi wu kɛmi bintooŋ le woo, mwɛ woo.”]
BSB
BSB:
Not in the BSB
Not in the earliest manuscripts
17
ASJ
Jiso shɛ bɛniiŋ bɛlu, lɛ li yih, bɔɔŋ bee bɛ kintutu-u bii li wuu kii ŋgaŋgaa chilu.
BSB
BSB:
After Jesus had left the crowd and gone into the house, His disciples inquired about the parable.
18
ASJ
Tuu li bee le, “Nɛ kii yɛ biee tɛ ni? Kɛ nɛ kii yɛ le fiee fichu fi wi lisi lɛ wuu wa nuuŋ tɛ biifi wu kɛ ni?
BSB
BSB:
“Are you still so dull?”
He asked.
“Do you not understand? Nothing that enters a man from the outside can defile him,
19
ASJ
Fi nuuŋ lɛ, kifɛ fi ti lii yɛ le fi gɛɛŋ nuuŋ li shé-eŋ kɛ, fi sɛchi nuuŋ lɛ shéŋ, fi se dɛndɛ fi bo.” (Si Jiso tɛ̀ tee lɛ, fi se nuuŋ le biee bijɛ bichu biɛɛ waaŋ.)
BSB
BSB:
because it does not enter his heart, but it goes into the stomach and then is eliminated.”
(Thus all foods are clean.)
20
ASJ
Tuu gɛɛŋ limfwe tee le, “Ɛ fiee fi buti li wi-i, fi bifisi mwɛ,
BSB
BSB:
He continued:
“What comes out of a man, that is what defiles him.
21
ASJ
kifɛ biee bichu bibifi bi wi feti dzɛti nuuŋ li shéŋ yee li. Biee si bɛmbeechɛ bɛ bifi, kii bukwɛɛ, n'yɛ buyi, ŋ'wo wi, ŋgimu bɛ kwɛɛ wi kɛ nyumɛ wi,
BSB
BSB:
For from within the hearts of men come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,
22
ASJ
nsɔmfu biee, ŋkɛmɛ tee chi bifi mfɛru kimfi, mfɛru nyɛŋ, ŋkɛmɛ shéŋ yi yɛɛti, mɛŋkooŋ mɛ bɛniiŋ lɛ mɛ bifisɛ, ntsakisɛ yi mɔɔ n'yoomfɛ kiyoomfɛ.
BSB
BSB:
greed, wickedness, deceit, debauchery, envy, slander, arrogance, and foolishness.
23
ASJ
Biee bibifi bini bichu dzɛti nuuŋ li shéŋ yi wi-i bi se bifisi mwɛ.”
BSB
BSB:
All these evils come from within, and these are what defile a man.”
24
ASJ
Jiso tɛ̀ dza fe, gɛɛŋ kimbɛ ki Tayɛ bɛ Sidɔ-ɔŋ. Le gɛɛŋ le, lɛ li yih, tɛ̀ wɛki yɛ le wi kɛɛ le wɛ lu kɛ. Se nuuŋ le, bɛniiŋ tɛ̀ tuu be kɛɛ.
BSB
BSB:
Jesus left that place and went to the region of Tyre. Not wanting anyone to know He was there, He entered a house, but was unable to escape their notice.
25
ASJ
Kwɛɛŋ wumu tɛ̀ nuuŋ fe fiana yi tii tɛ̀ nuuŋ li ŋwani wu kwɛɛŋ li. Mfwaa mumkpaŋ si tɛ̀ woo kii Jiso lɛ, se bɛ we li bikaa biee li.
BSB
BSB:
Instead, a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit soon heard about Jesus, and she came and fell at His feet.
26
ASJ
Kwɛɛŋ wulu tɛ̀ nuuŋ wi wu Grik, tɛ̀ nuuŋ yɛ wi wu Juu kɛ. Bɛ tɛ̀ biɛ wu Fonisha li kwɛɛŋ wu Silia. Si tɛ̀ we lɛ, lɛkɛ Jiso le buu ŋwanɛ kiŋkundi wulu li ŋwani wɛɛ.
BSB
BSB:
Now she was a Greek woman of Syrophoenician origin, and she kept asking Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter.
27
ASJ
Jiso se tuu li wuu le, “Gɛɛ bɛ saa bɛ nyɛkɛ bɔɔŋ, kifɛ fi mɛɛŋ ki dzɔɔŋ kɛ le bɛ dzɔɔ bijinɛ bi bɔɔŋ lɛ bɛ lɔŋ li bwí kɛ.”
BSB
BSB:
“First let the children have their fill,”
He said.
“For it is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”
28
ASJ
Kwɛɛŋ wulu se tuu li wuu le, “Ɛ chɛɛŋ baa wɛŋ. Se nuuŋ le, bɔɔŋ ti bɛɛ ɛ be ji biee bwí bɔɔnyi mukɛ mu weyi fɛkwiiŋ.”
BSB
BSB:
“Yes, Lord,” she replied, “even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”
29
ASJ
Jiso se tee li wuu le, “Kii fiee fiɔɔ tuu fini, ɔ nuuŋ ɔ gɛɛŋ fio, ŋwanɛ kiŋkundi wulu bee chinɛ li ŋwana kituŋ.”
BSB
BSB:
Then Jesus told her,
“Because of this answer, you may go. The demon has left your daughter.”
30
ASJ
Kwɛɛŋ wulu dza giiŋgi fɛ wu kuuŋ, gɛɛŋ ŋɛŋ ŋwani gimi fɛntaa ɛ ŋwanɛ kiŋkundi wulu bo kituŋ.

And she went home and found her child lying on the bed, and the demon was gone.

Then Jesus left the region of Tyre and went through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee and into the region of the Decapolis.

Some people brought to Him a man who was deaf and hardly able to speak, and they begged Jesus to place His hand on him.

So Jesus took him aside privately, away from the crowd, and put His fingers into the man’s ears. Then He spit and touched the man’s tongue.

BSB
BSB:
And looking up to heaven, He sighed deeply and said to him,
“Ephphatha!”
(which means,
“Be opened!”).

Bintooŋ bi wi wulu se gwiyɛ mfwaa mumkpaŋ, nimi chee fuutɛ, bɛchi yeti bujɔŋ.

Immediately the man’s ears were opened and his tongue was released, and he began to speak plainly.

BSB:
The people were utterly astonished and said, “He has done all things well! He makes even the deaf hear and the mute speak!”
