Mark 7 (BVW) · Opened

1Farisawecha tǝ malɗǝmcha fichile la sakang kussa ɗi ɓaka Urshelima, ngomkǝnda thlǝmat Yǝso.Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus,

2A mbǝssangndǝ tǝ ndatwa kimshechi'en kanda sǝmɗǝsǝmtǝ tǝ tǝkǝmharcha sapawundǝwa.and they saw some of His disciples eating with hands that were defiled—that is, unwashed.

3(Kǝthlǝm Farisawecha tǝ tahǝt Yahudawecha sǝmundǝ ɗǝsǝmtǝ kichu sapundǝ harwa, kǝthlǝm tor murta pǝktechengnanda nakǝn kichu.Now in holding to the tradition of the elders, the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat until they wash their hands ceremonially.

4Ma ɓennda ɗa lumo, manga tǝ fanndǝ nda i mbutǝ tor murtengnandǝwa ngunda sǝmɗǝsǝmtǝwa. Tor murtengnandǝsi paɗ lela kuwur tǝnda, nda sap tǝpsat 'amcha, tǝ ɓicha, tǝ kuppecha tǝ kǝtǝn sǝm'ǝna.)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.

5Kǝthlǝm ndǝkǝn sahang Farisawecha tǝ pǝktat malɗǝmcha fasakandǝ shuwun kussa Musaɗi: "Kǝthlǝm mi kimsecheku yahundǝ kuwur tor murcha pǝktechengnaniwa, mashiɗ kǝnnanda sǝmɗǝsǝmta tǝ tǝkǝmharcha?"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.”

6A ngǝmang Yǝso tǝ ndatwa: "Kohat nofcha keekesi fǝrtǝ Ishaya sakǝtkǝn kǝ ɗarnuni, nda i yarandǝ ficha. Nofchiya a mi ɗeng nannda mwanita, paɗ hanɗǝkikechengnanda nakǝn langnga tǝ nji.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.

7Poffǝn lǝnannda mwanandǝ thlǝmna, kussi ti la natnda sakandaɗi, i nofchǝ ɗeng, ɗar ndatwa shunda Fara.They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’

8Lamallanguni i ndat Faruwa kǝ suni, nakuni kuwur tor murta nofcha."You have disregarded the commandment of God to keep the tradition of men.”

9Ndangnakandǝwa: "Awi nuni mbǝllamalandǝ kussi Fara kǝthlǝm kǝ kuruni tor murchengnuni!He went on to say, “You neatly set aside the command of God to maintain your own tradition.

10Kǝthlǝm ndak Musa wa, 'fǝran mwanda suka tǝ yatu paɗ le erkǝ shinkǝn tǝ mankǝn keekesi kǝ ɓǝllang ficha.'For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’ and ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’

11Paɗ landakuniwa: ''Nat i nat shinchinuni tǝ manchinuni ɓǝsta mbǝɗa nifǝ soh sokkǝn nda korban" (sakǝtkǝnwa fǝrraɗi Fara).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),

12kǝthlǝm ndǝkǝn mwawuni mallandǝ kǝ kǝssaǝn tora shinkǝnsi tǝ mankǝn wa.he is no longer permitted to do anything for his father or mother.

13Tǝkichu la natuni, cherǝ pathla Fara, tǝ pathlǝ kuwur tormurchengnuni, paɗ la nakuni ɗahhanda witǝ ichiniyu in.Thus you nullify the word of God by the tradition you have handed down. And you do so in many such matters.”

14Ngǝrkǝ Yǝso at nofcha mbǝɗ'en, ndangnakandǝwa kami thlǝmmat uffuni, paɗ kǝsununisi ndiichin.Once again Jesus called the crowd to Him and said, “All of you, listen to Me and understand:

15Nga i lasǝmtǝ nifa hur na tǝkmandǝhiwa, i la cheka hur handǝkiketǝ la tǝkmang nifǝhi.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.”

16Uf le nat thlǝmmatsǝktǝ'ensi kǝ sǝkkǝn.Not in the BSB

17Kǝ saktǝnhi tǝ nofchi oiyu yimkǝnna huri, sahang kimsechi'en sakǝt i'sakandǝnaɗiyu.After Jesus had left the crowd and gone into the house, His disciples inquired about the parable.

18Ndangnakandǝwa: "Awi kunang paɗ sǝnwuni sakǝtkǝn tǝ ndatwa i sǝmtǝ nifa hur, ɓahwa tǝkmandǝhiwa.“Are you still so dull?” He asked. “Do you not understand? Nothing that enters a man from the outside can defile him,

19Kǝthlǝm nga la yimkǝnna hur hanɗǝkiketǝwa la yimkǝnna hur kǝhapangkaɗi. A hurra shuniya cheɗkǝ Yǝso wa i sǝka ɗǝsǝmta tǝkǝmtǝsa fi'enwa.because it does not enter his heart, but it goes into the stomach and then is eliminated.” (Thus all foods are clean.)

20Ngǝr kǝnna ndatwa i lachekakissha hur hanɗǝkiketa nifa ndǝkǝn na tǝkmanghi.He continued: “What comes out of a man, that is what defiles him.

21Kǝthlǝm a hur hanɗǝkiketa nifa la chetɓǝɓi'ichakish, ndanda ɓǝɓiyara, fǝllawichita, herketa, tǝ ɓǝlfata,For from within the hearts of men come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,

22Katnishcha nofcha, sǝɓfata, lekta, sǝrǝhta, mwa'inda, ɓokta, tǝ ɓomchita.greed, wickedness, deceit, debauchery, envy, slander, arrogance, and foolishness.

23Uf ɓǝɓi'ichiniyu lǝ chekna hanɗǝkiketa, ndǝkǝn la tǝkmang nifǝhi.All these evils come from within, and these are what defile a man.”

24Mbǝnniyu malkǝ Yǝso Galilihi pǝɗakna thlet hǝmmǝt Taya tǝ Sidon. yimkǝnna hura'a yuna, a yahu kǝ sǝnfichiwa. Nat tǝ kichu ɓuɓwe'iuwa.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.

25Chatkichuyu nuhnifǝsi, tǝ hwe'ensi kǝ nuhhweya naktǝ ɓǝbi shemeɗafa, kǝ sǝktǝn kusheng Yǝso, ɓakna hǝmtǝhi mbanitǝkǝn.Instead, a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit soon heard about Jesus, and she came and fell at His feet.

26Nuhhiyu witǝ Helinawechǝ nakǝn, a thlet hǝmǝt Finikiya ngǝttǝfichǝndi, a hachahai Suriya. A hwanaǝn Yǝso wa kǝ kǝtaǝn ɓǝɓi luwurchaɗa fa hwe'en.Now she was a Greek woman of Syrophoenician origin, and she kept asking Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter.

27Ndang Yǝso wa: "Suku kǝ ngal hwechǝ kwaɗǝn, kǝthlǝm kamusi kǝ tǝr fichǝ ɗǝsǝmta hwecha kǝ fǝrang ficha hǝɗechuwa."“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.”

28A ngǝmang nuhiyu tǝ ndatwa: "Ə, kichuyu malɗǝm, chikatǝ kichu hǝɗecha la sǝmkǝnndǝ fishirchikǝnti ka tebǝr lela hǝhatka haya miya hwecha.“Yes, Lord,” she replied, “even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”

29Ndǝkǝn ndandǝ Yǝso wa: "Kǝthlǝm shundeku, ɗuɗaɗi, ɓǝɓilura shekhi tǝ 'hwe'eku."Then Jesus told her, “Because of this answer, you may go. The demon has left your daughter.”

30Ngǝrang nuhnifǝkǝn inna ɗi ɗǝkna mbǝssandǝ hwe'en ɗuk a mbǝthunata ɓǝɓi luriyu tepa keltǝndǝhi.And she went home and found her child lying on the bed, and the demon was gone.

31Malkǝ Yǝso thlet hǝmǝt Tayahi, kuwurkǝn tǝ Sidon ɗǝkna hawur Galili. A mbanda kwirtǝ thlet Hǝmchǝ shee Kum.Then Jesus left the region of Tyre and went through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee and into the region of the Decapolis.

32A mbǝnniyu ɓang ndǝ ɓomma, le lakweekǝ shunda, a hwanangnda kǝthlǝm kǝ ɗǝfaǝn hara in.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.

33Kaɓkǝ Yǝso ɓommiyu kǝkǝllar, mbahkǝnndaɗa thlǝmat nofchiyu kǝ mbǝɗi nguchit nifǝsi. Pakǝn hanharchi'enna hur thlǝmmecha nifiyu, chahkǝn yahta hanhar'en, tǝka'ǝn hara hanshunda nifǝkǝn fa.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.

34Kǝlak na afshi kahkǝn yiptǝ langnga, ndakǝnwa: "Iffata!" sakǝtkǝnwa: "Innuhi!"And looking up to heaven, He sighed deeply and said to him, “Ephphatha!” (which means, “Be opened!”).

35Kǝ mbutǝn kichu inkǝ thlǝmmecha nifǝkǝnhi, i kǝnnang hanshundǝ'en paɗ kwaskǝnhi, tǝr kaakǝn shundǝ ndiichin.Immediately the man’s ears were opened and his tongue was released, and he began to speak plainly.

36Ɓokang Yǝso kandǝwa mǝ mbwa'anda chika wunwa, nattǝ ɓoki ɓokandǝnnakanda nak mbukǝnna chekta.Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone. But the more He ordered them, the more widely they proclaimed it.

37Shekɗang i'ndǝ kandǝ ka'ǝn, ndakndǝwa shiitǝ ichindiichin oi! Sokkǝn ɓomchasǝkmbǝta, tippengcha kanda shunda".The people were utterly astonished and said, “He has done all things well! He makes even the deaf hear and the mute speak!”
