Naho, Mafalisayo na wahinyi wa miko ya Musa wakabua kulawa Yelusalemu, wakamtimia Yesu na kumuuza,
BSB
BSB:
Then some Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and asked,
2
BOU
“Kwambwai wahina wako khawapatiiza mahinyo tekuyahokeayo kwa waongoweezi wetu wa kae? Khawasunta inga mazweeya yetu yakundavyo!”
BSB
BSB:
“Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They do not wash their hands before they eat.”
3
BOU
Yesu akawatambaisa, “Kwambwai nywie nanywi khampatiiza miko ya Muungu iya mwayabasa mahinyo yenu wenye?
BSB
BSB:
Jesus replied,
“And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition?
4
BOU
Kwaviya Muungu kagombeka, ‘Na mntu yoyose amtunyae tati yake na mami yake na mntu yoyose amdumuae tati yakwe hambu mami yakwe, yakundigwa akomwe.’
BSB
BSB:
For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother’ and ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’
5
BOU
Iya nywie mwahinya inga mntu akawa na kintu ambacho chadaha kumwambiiza tati yakwe au mami yakwe, iya akamba, ‘Kintu iki ni cha Muungu,’
BSB
BSB:
But you say that if anyone says to his father or mother, ‘Whatever you would have received from me is a gift devoted to God,’
6
BOU
nywie wagombeka khudaha kumtunya tati yako kwa kumuambiiza kwa kumwekha kintu icho! Ivyo nee mbeavyo Mbui ya Muungu kwa kutongea mahinyo yenu wenye.
BSB
BSB:
he need not honor his father or mother with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition.
7
BOU
Nywie wabakha! Muoni Isaya kaambiza vyedi kwenu nywinywi,
BSB
BSB:
You hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied correctly about you:
8
BOU
‘Muungu amba Wantu awa wanitunya kwa ntamwiizi zao, Iya mwe mioyo yao wahae na miye.
BSB
BSB:
‘These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me.
9
BOU
Kunivika kwao khakuwaambiiza dodose, Kwaviya mahinyo wahinyayo ni wantu ni du wekuyagoayo wao wenye!’ ”
BSB
BSB:
They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’”
10
BOU
Yesu akawetanga wada zumwezumwe da wantu, akagombeka, “Tegeezani, na mnive!
BSB
BSB:
Jesus called the crowd to Him and said,
“Listen and understand.
11
BOU
Kintu kimtendacho mntu asekuzumiiwa kuwa he meso ya Muungu khio via vyengiavyo mwe muomo, iya ntamwiizi zimlawazo mwe muomo. Ivyo nee vimtendavyo mntu asekuzumiiwa kuwa he meso ya Muungu.”
BSB
BSB:
A man is not defiled by what enters his mouth, but by what comes out of it.”
12
BOU
Aho wahina wakambasa nakumwamba, “Ivi, wamanya kuwa Mafalisayo wakimwa muno wekutegeezaho mbui zako?”
BSB
BSB:
Then the disciples came to Him and said, “Are You aware that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this?”
13
BOU
Yesu akawatambaisa, “Kintu chochose ambacho Tate yangu wa uwanga kwa Muungu khekuhanda chendaking'olwe.”
BSB
BSB:
But Jesus replied,
“Every plant that My heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by its roots.
14
BOU
Wabadeni wenye, wowo ni matuntu na waongweeya matuntu. Inga tuntu akamwongoeya tuntu mweziwe, wose waidi wendawengiye mwe tubwi.
BSB
BSB:
Disregard them! They are blind guides. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.”
15
BOU
Petulo akamba, “Tisosoee msimo uwo.”
BSB
BSB:
Peter said to Him, “Explain this parable to us.”
16
BOU
Yesu akawamba, “Hata nywie khammanya?
BSB
BSB:
“Do you still not understand?”
Jesus asked.
17
BOU
Ivi khammanya kuwa kia chengiacho kanwai chengia mweifu na kulavigwa chongoi na kuita nkii?
BSB
BSB:
“Do you not yet realize that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then is eliminated?
18
BOU
Iya mbui zilawazo kanwai zalawa mwe moyo na mbui izo nee zimtendazo mntu asekuzumiiwa kuwa he meso ya Muungu.
BSB
BSB:
But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these things defile a man.
19
BOU
Kwaviya umo mwe moyo wa mntu kwalawa fanyanyi za ufyaimi na ukomaji na ukianga na kianga na ubavi na ugombekaji wa uhokho na kuwagombekea watuhu mafyaimi.
BSB
BSB:
For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, and slander.
20
BOU
Ayo nee yamtendayo mntu asekuzumiiwa ni Muungu.”
BSB
BSB:
These are what defile a man, but eating with unwashed hands does not defile him.”
21
BOU
Yesu akahauka hantu hada akaita mwe si ambazo ni hehi na mizi ya Tilo na Sidoni,
BSB
BSB:
Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the district of Tyre and Sidon.
22
BOU

BSB:
And a Canaanite woman from that region came to Him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is miserably possessed by a demon.”
23
BOU
Iya Yesu khekumwandua mbui yoyose. Aho, wahina wakwe wakambasa Yesu, na kumwamba, “Umwambe aite kwaviya atibasabasa na kutitoeya vuzo!”
BSB
BSB:
But Jesus did not answer a word. So His disciples came and urged Him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.”
24
BOU
Yesu akamtambaisa, “Khiagiiwa kwaajii ya wantu wa si ya Isilaeli wakwagao inga ngoto.”
BSB
BSB:
He answered,
“I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
25
BOU
Iya yuda mmaa akeza na kukinta mavindi hemeso ya Yesu na kumwamba, “Zumbe, niambiize!”
BSB
BSB:
The woman came and knelt before Him. “Lord, help me!” she said.
26
BOU
Yesu akamtambaisa, “Khio vitana kudoa khande ya wana na kuwatambikia makui.”
BSB
BSB:
But Jesus replied,
“It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”
27
BOU
Yuda mmaa akamtambaisa, “Ni kwei Zumbe, akini hata makui yada phuguntio zigwiswazo kulawa he meza za mazumbe wao.”
BSB
BSB:
“Yes, Lord,” she said, “even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”
28
BOU
Aho Yesu akamtambaisa, “Mmaa uzumizi wako ni mkuu na itende inga wekukundavyo.” Yuda mdee akahona kisingi ichoicho.
BSB

“O woman,”

“your faith is great! Let it be done for you as you desire.”
And her daughter was healed from that very hour.

Large crowds came to Him, bringing the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and laid them at His feet, and He healed them.
31
BOU
Awo wantu wakahondomaa wekuonaho mabubu watamwiiya na wekuviao miundi wenda na matuntu waona, wantu wakamtogoa Muungu wa wantu wa Isilaeli.
BSB
BSB:
The crowd was amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled restored, the lame walking, and the blind seeing. And they glorified the God of Israel.

Aho Yesu akawetanga wahina wakwe akagombeka, “Nawafiiya mbazi wantu awa kwaajii wawa na miye misi mitatu, naho khawana khande. Khikunda kuwabada waite na saa, wasekweza kugwa msae siai.”
BSB
BSB:
Then Jesus called His disciples to Him and said,
“I have compassion for this crowd, because they have already been with Me three days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry, or they may faint along the way.”
33
BOU
Wahina wakwe wakamwamba, “Hantu hanu khahana wantu, tendatiipatie kuhi khande ya kuigania wantu wose awa?”
BSB
