Dhiiti dwoo eFalizyɛ nɛ bɛghaŋ ɛ mɛkana mɛ etsi naadus pɛ Yeluzalɛm, bɔɔ zokazɛsɛɛga bɛ nɛ Yezu,
BSB
BSB:
Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus,
2
BKW
ye nabɛ ɛ́, bɛ naabee bɛdhiiti bɛdjekel ɛ Yezu nadi edɛ edee, ààgwyii mɛmbɔ dáa etsi di elyaal ɛ.
BSB
BSB:
and they saw some of His disciples eating with hands that were defiled—that is, unwashed.
3
BKW
Etɛɛ náá, eFalizyɛ nɛ bot ɛ mbyak eYuda djas nadi ebaal etsi e bɛbhaab bɔɔ nalik ɛ ɛbuɛpe: bɛ ààdɛ edee, ààgwyii mɛmbɔ ɛnyɔɛpe.
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
BKW
Zɛnɔɔ náá, bɛ dus pɛ ndjando ɔɔ, bɛ aanàkwaadɛ edee, ààgwyia. Bɛ nadi eduwal bɛtɛ nɛ bɛdhiiti etsi e mbyak'ɔɔ, dáa vaŋ mbi ɛgwyii ebɛɛlɛ, nɛ ba bɔɔ mɛbhe mɛ dyak, zɛnɔɔ esaan.
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
BKW
Wɔ gwaa, eFalizyɛ nɛ bɛghaŋ ɛ mɛkana mɛ etsi zɛdji Yezu náá: «Étɛp yé bɛdjekel bɔ di ààsa dáa etsi e bɛbhaab binaka nalik ɛ, di elɛɛ ɛ? Bɛ dɛ ààgwyii mɛmbɔ mɔɔ!»
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
BKW
Yezu eezɛbɔɔza nɛ nɔɔ náá: «Bi ɛ́ bot ɛ mɛdjhaaz pɛ ɛko, bhimis pɛ si! Sa ngoolel-mɛkpa ɛ Zɛɛb Ezayi nalɛɛ dum nɛ nen ɛ, nabɛ ɛ́ tsɛɛtsɛ. Gwakeka sa di kwyala ɛ: “Zɛɛb ke ɛ́ náá, bot ɛ mbyak'ak duwal mɛ ɛ́ duwela mɛkɔŋ, elyem bɔɔ ɛ́ pɛ kyee sis.
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
BKW
Zɛɛga mendjaala mɔɔ, ye ɛ́ yii toto é mis mam, etɛɛ náá, mɛlyo mɛ bɛ di elyo ɛ́ mɛlyo mɛ epuud.”»
BSB
BSB:
They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’
8
BKW
Bhii tak, Yezu baazɛke náá: «Bi byen ɛ́ etsi e Zɛɛb, da bi ɛ́ kaduwal ɛ́, yii bot nalik bin yɛ ɛ.
BSB
BSB:
You have disregarded the commandment of God to keep the tradition of men.”
9
BKW
«Bi eezedhuugal etsi e Zɛɛb ɛlyelɛpe, étɛp ɛduwal etsi e mbyak'en!
BSB
BSB:
He went on to say,
“You neatly set aside the command of God to maintain your own tradition.
10
BKW
Bela náá, ye nabɛ ɛ́ Moiiz eeke náá: “Dila soog nɛ nyoog” nyɛ nabaake pe ɛ́ náá: “Mot di ekal sɛɛg nɛ nyɛɛg ɔ, goka ɛ́ nɛ góaa”.
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
BKW
Yɛ kabɛ biyɔ ɔ, bi lɛɛ bot ɛ náá, mot ɛ́ nɛ ghwyil ɛke nɛ sɛɛg nɛ nyɛɛg náá: “Beea esa ee mɛ aadjɛ wɔ ɛ. Mɛ eekwom yɛ, mɛ needjɛ Zɛɛb ebuwa. Yenek lɛɛ ɛ́ Kɔbɔɔn.”
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
BKW
Deenek, bi ààbet náá, nyɛ kwyee sɛɛg nɛ nyɛɛg.
BSB
BSB:
he is no longer permitted to do anything for his father or mother.
13
BKW
Ye ɛ́ deenek ɛ bi di ehoola mɛkpa ɛ Zɛɛb étɛp ɛgoola etsi e mbyak'en. Zɛnɔɔ bɛtɛ nɛ mbi kɔkɔ esonok ee di esael ɛ.»
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
BKW
Wɔ gwaa Yezu baazɛdjóo ɛdhuu ɛ bot binɔk djas. Nyɛy nɛ nɔɔ náá: «Biyɔ djas, gwakeka mɛ. Mɛtka sa mɛ di elii'aak:
BSB
BSB:
Once again Jesus called the crowd to Him and said,
“All of you, listen to Me and understand:
15
BKW
Ye tok nɛ sa di ni tɔ nuub mot di nɛ ghwyil ɛ pul edɛɛ e mot. Ye ɛ́ sa di ewyis tɔ lɛ ɛ di esa náá, mot nàdi dɛɛ.
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
BKW
Gwakeka ɛnyɔɛpe, bi ɛ́ di nɛ mɛlɔ mɛ ɛgwak etɛp ɔɔ!
»
BSB
BSB:
Not in the BSB
Not in the earliest manuscripts
17
BKW
Dáa Yezu nadus tin ɛ, bɛ eezɛni tɔ ndjaa ɛtsetaɛpe nɛ ɛdhuu ɛ bot, bɛdjekel bɛ zokazɛdji nyɛ sa ɛsuk ɛ kana yenek nadi ekwyɛl ɛlɛɛ ɛ.
BSB
BSB:
After Jesus had left the crowd and gone into the house, His disciples inquired about the parable.
18
BKW
Nyɛ eezɛbɔɔza nɛ nɔɔ náá: «Dɔɔ nɛ biyɔ, bi tok nɛ etsoŋ ɛtiibal é? Bi ààgu náá, sa mot di ewa tɔ nuubɛ ɛ́, yɛ aanàkwaapul edɛɛ e mot e?
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
BKW
Esesɛɛ binek ààni tɔ lyem; ye ni ɛ́ tɔ mɔ'ɛ. Bhii tak, nyɛ kakɛsaaz yɛ ɛ tɔ ɛbyeed.» Tɔ mɛlyo menek Yezu nadi ekwyɛl ɛlɛɛ ɛ́ náá, edee djas goka ɛ́ nɛ ɛdɛel.
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
BKW
Bhii tak, nyɛ eebaazɛke náá: «Ye ɛ́ sa di wyis tɔ mot ɛ di pul edɛɛ e mot tak.
BSB
BSB:
He continued:
“What comes out of a man, that is what defiles him.
21
BKW
Etɛɛ náá, mbee egeka dus ɛ́ tɔ lyem mot. Ye ɛ́ esiiza ɛ di lwom bot náá, bɛ sa ɛpam, djii nɛ ɛgo ɛ bot,

For from within the hearts of men come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,

greed, wickedness, deceit, debauchery, envy, slander, arrogance, and foolishness.

BKW
Esesɛɛ binek djas, egeka tak dus ɛ́ tɔ elyem e bot. Ye ɛ́ di esa náá, edɛɛ e mot pulel é mis ɛ Zɛɛb.»
BSB
BSB:
All these evils come from within, and these are what defile a man.”
24
BKW
Yezu zɛdus tin, tɔ pɛ kyee dik eghaada Tiid. Nyɛ eezɛni tɔ dhiiti ndjaa, nyɛ nabɛ ɛ́ ààkwyɛl náá, bot gu náá, nyɛ ɛ́ tin. Ye nabɛ ɛ́ ààdjala náá, mot dáa nyɛy di sɔ.
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
BKW
Tin, ye nabɛ ɛ́ nɛ dhiiti moma, mbee sisim nadi edhek mɔn ɛsyes ɛ lɛ ɔ. Dáa nyɛ nagwak menduk ɛ Yezu ɛ, nyɛ eezɛzyɛ kaab pɛ daa lɛ, nyɛ zokazɛkwyit mɛboŋ si, sok bhwoob'ɛ.
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
BKW
Moma tak nabɛ ààbɛ moma mbyak eYuda. Nyɛ nabyel ɛ́ pɛ dɛl ɛ Fenisi pɛ kyee dik Siili. Nyɛ eezɛdjaala nɛ Yezu náá, nyɛ sɔ mbee sisim nadi tɔ nyel mɔn'ɛ ɔ.
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
BKW
Tin, Yezu eezɛbɔɔza nɛ nɛ náá: «Beta, bɔn pookodɛ, djil. Etɛɛ náá, mapa bɔn goka ɛ́ nɛ ɛdɛ ɛ, yɛ àànyɔ, ye mwasaa, djɛaa bɔn bɛbhyɛ.»
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
BKW
Wɔ gwaa moma yenɔk baazɛpesal náá: «Ghɛŋ, wɔ ɛ́ nɛ gham. Ye goka ɛ́ wɔ gu náá, bɔɔ bɛbhyɛ di si mesa ɔ, bɛ dɛ ɛ́ bɔɔ eghutu-ghutu emapa ee bɔn di kwyital é ghɛŋ bɛ di edɛ kɔ mesa ɛ.»
BSB
BSB:
“Yes, Lord,” she replied, “even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”
29
BKW
Tin, Yezu eezɛke nɛ moma yenɔk náá: «Wɔy, moma, dum nɛ yala yɔ, sika pɛ ndjaŋ'ɔ. Mbee sisim tak eezewyis tɔ nyel ɛsyes ɛ lɔ.»
BSB
BSB:
Then Jesus told her,
“Because of this answer, you may go. The demon has left your daughter.”
30

Wɔ gwaa, nyɛ zɛsik pɛ ndjaŋ'ɛ. Tin, nyɛ eekɛbela mɔn'ɛ ndjaasi kɔ goŋ, mbee sisim eezewyis tɔ lɛ.

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

BSB:
Then Jesus left the region of Tyre and went through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee and into the region of the Decapolis.
32
BKW
Wɔ gwaa, bɛ zɛzyɛ nyɛ nɛ mot na endiila e mɛlɔ, àànyɔ ɛgu ɛlii ɛnyɔɛpe. Bɛ eezɛdjaala nɛ nɛ náá, nyɛ kɛl nyɛ mɛmbɔ, nyɛ neetsak.
BSB
BSB:
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.
33
BKW
Tin, wɔ gwaa, Yezu zɛnɔɔ mot tak, tiila nɛ nɛ ba ɛtsetaɛpe nɛ ɛdhuu ɛ bot. Bhii tak, nyɛ eezɛwa mot tak bhin tɔ mɛlɔ. Nyɛ eezɛsɛɛ mɛtel, zɛmɛt nyɛ djem nɛ yɛ.
BSB
BSB:
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.
34

BSB
BSB:
And looking up to heaven, He sighed deeply and said to him,
“Ephphatha!”
(which means,
“Be opened!”).
35
BKW
É di'enek wat, mɛlɔ mɛ mot tak eezɛbɛŋel; djem pe eezɛtiŋel. Nyɛ moo elii ɛnyɔɛpe.
BSB
BSB:
Immediately the man’s ears were opened and his tongue was released, and he began to speak plainly.
36
BKW
Yezu zɛlɛɛ nɛ bot binɔk djas náá, sa mot ààlɛɛ mot ngɔt sa sael wak ɛ, yenek nadhedhɛɛg bot ɛ dhɛɛga. Lyaka nyɛ nadi é lelyak bot ɛ, nabebesal bot ɛ́ beselak.
BSB
BSB:
Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone. But the more He ordered them, the more widely they proclaimed it.
37
BKW
Bot naadyeebadjoka dhaa nyel. Bɔɔ náá: «Esa ee nyɛ di sa djas ɛ́ ɛnyɔɛpe! Nyɛy batabɛɛ mɛlɔ mɛ bɛ na endiila e mɛlɔ, ebubu batalii!»

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