Mark 7 (GOFWFTW)

1Yerusalaameppe yida guutha Farisaawetinne higge asttamaareti Yesuusa matan shiiqidosona.Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus,

2Yesuusa tamaaretappe issoti issoti geeyonna kushiyan, hessika kushe meecettonna kathi meyssata be7idosona.and they saw some of His disciples eating with hands that were defiled—that is, unwashed.

3Farisaawetinne Ayhude asay ubbay bantta aawata wogaatho bantta kushiya meecettonna mokkonna.Now in holding to the tradition of the elders, the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat until they wash their hands ceremonially.

4Hessadakka, entti giyappe shamettidabaa meecconna de7ishe mokkonna. Qassi entti bantta aawatappe ekkida hara daro wogi de7ees: Hessika siniya, keriya, biraata miishetanne arssaa meecciya wogaa naageyssa.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.

5Farisaawetinne higge asttamaareti Yesuusa, “Ne tamaareti ays aawata wogaa menthidi bantta kushiya meecettonna kathi moonna?” yaagidi oychchidosona.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.”

6Yesuusi enttako, “Isayaasi hinttena cubbota, ‘Hayssi asay tana ba inxarssa xalaalan bonchchees, shin entta wozanay taappe haahon de7ees.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.

7Asi medhdhida wogaa Xoossaa higge daanisidi tamaarssiya gisho, entti taw mela goynnosona’ ” gidi xaafidayssi tuma.They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’

8“Hintte Xoossaa kiitaa aggidi asa wogaa minthidi naageeta” yaagis.You have disregarded the commandment of God to keep the tradition of men.”

9Qassika Yesuusi, “Hinttee hintte wogaa naagidi Xoossaa kiitaa yeggi agganaw lo77o oge demmideta.He went on to say, “You neatly set aside the command of God to maintain your own tradition.

10Musey, ‘Ne aawanne ne aayiw bonchcha’, qassi ‘Ba aawanne ba aayiw cayeyssi hayqqanaw bessees’ yaagis.For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’ and ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’

11Shin issi asi ba aawa woykko ba aayiw maaddanayssa aggidi, ‘Hessi Xoossaa yarshsho’ giikko,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),

12I ba aawa woykko ba aayiw maaddonna mela ootheeta.he is no longer permitted to do anything for his father or mother.

13Hessadakka, hintte harata tamaarssida hintte wogan Xoossaa qaala kadhideta. Hessa mela hara darobaa ootheeta” yaagis.Thus you nullify the word of God by the tradition you have handed down. And you do so in many such matters.”

14Yesuusi daro asaa qassika baakko xeegidi, “Ubbay taani odeyssa si7itenne akeekite.Once again Jesus called the crowd to Him and said, “All of you, listen to Me and understand:

15Asa wozanappe keyaabay ase tuniseesippe attin kareppe asa ulo gelidi ase tunisiyabay aybikka baawa.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.”

16Si7iya haythi de7iya oonikka si7o” yaagis.Not in the BSB

17Yesuusi daro asaa yeggi aggidi soo gelin iya tamaareti he leemisuwabaa iya oychchidosona.After Jesus had left the crowd and gone into the house, His disciples inquired about the parable.

18I enttako, “Hinttewuka qassi gelibeennee? Kareppe asa wozanan geliyabay aybikka ase tunisanaw dandda7onnayssa akeeketii?“Are you still so dull?” He asked. “Do you not understand? Nothing that enters a man from the outside can defile him,

19Ays giikko, kathi asa ulo giddo gelidi kanthidi aadhdheesippe attin asa wozana giddo gelenna” yaagis. Hessan Yesuusi kathi ubbay geeshshi gideyssa erisis.because it does not enter his heart, but it goes into the stomach and then is eliminated.” (Thus all foods are clean.)

20Kaallidikka, Yesuusi, “Asa tunisiyabay asa wozana giddofe keyaabaa.He continued: “What comes out of a man, that is what defiles him.

21Asa wozana giddofe keyaabay iita qofa, laymatethi, kayso, ase wodho, laame,For from within the hearts of men come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,

22iita amo, iitatethi, gene, qayxe, cimo, qanaate, cashshe, otoronne boozatethi.greed, wickedness, deceit, debauchery, envy, slander, arrogance, and foolishness.

23Ha iitabay ubbayka asa wozana giddofe keyidi ase tunisees” yaagis.All these evils come from within, and these are what defile a man.”

24Yesuusi yaappe keyidi, Xiiroosa katama matan de7iya biittaa bis. I issi keethi gelidi yan de7eyssa oonikka erana mela koyibeenna. Shin qosettidi gam77anaw dandda7ibeenna.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.

25Shin I guutha na7iw tuna ayyaanay oykkida issi maccasiya Yesuusabaa si7ada ellesa iyaakko yada iya tohuwa bolla kunddasu.Instead, a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit soon heard about Jesus, and she came and fell at His feet.

26Iya Ayhude maccasi gidukku; iya yelettiday Siroofinqe giya biittana. Iya, ba na7eeppe tuna ayyaanaa kessana mela Yesuusa woossasu.Now she was a Greek woman of Syrophoenician origin, and she kept asking Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter.

27Shin Yesuusi zaaridi, “Nayti koyrottidi kathaa kallo; nayta kathaa ekkidi kanatas yeggeyssi lo77o gidenna” yaagis.“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.”

28Maccasiya zaarada, “Ta Godaw hessi tuma, shin gaytaa matan de7iya kanati naytappe wodhdhiya tiifiya moosona” yaagasu.“Yes, Lord,” she replied, “even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”

29Yesuusi qassi iikko, “Ha ne qaala gisho, ne soo ba; tuna ayyaanay ne na7eeppe keys” yaagis.Then Jesus told her, “Because of this answer, you may go. The demon has left your daughter.”

30Maccasiya ba soo biya wode tuna ayyaanay iippe keyin hiixan zin77idaaro demmasu.And she went home and found her child lying on the bed, and the demon was gone.

31Yesuusi Xiiroosa katamatappe keyidi, Sidoonaranne Tammu Katamata giya biittaara kanthidi Galiila Abbaako bis.Then Jesus left the region of Tyre and went through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee and into the region of the Decapolis.

32Asay tullenne waayidi odettiya asi Yesuusakko ehidi, ba kushiya iya bolla wothana mela iya woossidosona.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.

33Yesuusi barkka he uraa daro asappe gaxa kessidi, ba biradhdhiya iya haythan yeddis. Qassi cuchchi cuttidi iya inxarssaa bochchis.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.

34Salo pude xeellidi, tooki shemppidi, “Eftah” gis. Birshshethaykka “Dooyetta” guussu.And looking up to heaven, He sighed deeply and said to him, “Ephphatha!” (which means, “Be opened!”).

35Uraa haythay ellesidi dooyettis, qashettida inxarssaykka birshshettis, uray geeshshidi odettis.Immediately the man’s ears were opened and his tongue was released, and he began to speak plainly.

36Yesuusi asa ubbaas, “Hayssa oodeskka odoppite” yaagis. Shin I daro minthidi odoppite gin, asay odaa yaa darssis.Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone. But the more He ordered them, the more widely they proclaimed it.

37Hessa si7ida asay ubbay daro malaalettidi, “Ubbabaa I loythi oothees. Hari attoshin, tulliya sissees, muumiya odisees” yaagidosona.The people were utterly astonished and said, “He has done all things well! He makes even the deaf hear and the mute speak!”
