Emi iFarasi bɛyi etsetse mgbi ola mgbi iMose angbeka ama nkyɛ mi iJerosalin kpakɛkɛ wo iYesu man
BSB
BSB:
Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus,
2
UTR
a di engwafɔ iYesu angbeka le gye una yi abɔ <<oshimbi-shimbi>> ali ma, a sabɔ ba.
BSB
BSB:
and they saw some of His disciples eating with hands that were defiled—that is, unwashed.
3
UTR
(Emi iFarasi yi emi iJuda duu a li dzɛ-dzɛ ta gye ungwogye ba, a li sabɔ mbisɔ ola mgbi ama ma se, okyɔ aletɔ mgbi ama.
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
UTR
Kini a yɛ yi ungwogye mi idu, a li nyɛ-nyɛ gye ba sede a ka san. A di li kyɔ aletɔ mgbi ama angbeka kwuba, dafi osa ibwɛ yi okye ama okyɔ ungwogye bɛyi emi uga sini.)
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
UTR
Nghanɛ emi iFarasi yi etsetse mgbi ola mgbi iMose byi iYesu ita gbɛɛ: <<Kyɔsinɛ ngwi engwafɔ mgbi abu li dzɛ mi aletɔ mgbi engyukwo ba, ngwi a li gye ungwɔ yi abɔ oshimbi-shimbi ngha?>>
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
UTR
O gbɛɛ: <<Adzaya gbɔ li ayin mi onɔ ngwi o gbɔ ela oyegbɔ mi odzɛ ɛwɛ mgbi ema; dafi a tsekise lɔ mani gbɛɛ: << <Inggisɛ ntonɛ li nu ani mmwɛ mi ikpɔkpondu ta, nghaduu itukwu mgbi ama dzɛ mbombo yi ani.
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
UTR
A li sunu ani li ayayi, Otsootso mgbi ama li ola mgbi inggisɛ owamyɛ.>
BSB
BSB:
They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’
8
UTR
Ema kye ola mgbi Imgbasho ngwuta yile abɔ byikɛ ola etɔ mgbi inggisɛ owamyɛ.>>
BSB
BSB:
You have disregarded the commandment of God to keep the tradition of men.”
9
UTR
Man iYesu nya ma gbɛɛ: <<Ema li dzɛ yi ofɛ nkpa ema okye abɔ byikɛ ele kye ola mgbi Imgbasho ngwuta yɛ kyɛdɔ otsootso mgbi ema!
BSB
BSB:
He went on to say,
“You neatly set aside the command of God to maintain your own tradition.
10
UTR
Lubana iMose gbɛɛ: <Nu otsabu yi onabu mmwɛ,> ma <Ali inggisɛ ndi fya otsɔn hona onɔn ito yɔ, nu ma ngwɔn kyɛmɛ.>
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
UTR
Nghaduu ema li gbɛɛ li ayin ni inggisɛ nya ama omba ma gbɛɛ, <Gyen aba, n ka yagba tobyi ema ba. Ikyesinɛ n tsekise zondu okye ungwɔ ngwi ani kika kye nu ema ma, nu Imgbasho,
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
UTR
nghanɛ ema li non kyɔ unkonyi kpaa mi ikye otsɔn naadi onɔn wuba.
BSB
BSB:
he is no longer permitted to do anything for his father or mother.
13
UTR
Ikyenghanɛ ema kye ngwɔlu elodzɛ Imgbasho mi aletɔ mgbi ema ngwi ema gbeto emidema esɛ nani. Ema di li kyungwɔ kwuba itɔ nani.>>
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
UTR
IYesu diyɛ kwu ibyi inggisɛ ela ba mbon di gbɛɛ, <<Ema duu gadɔ mbi ani, di difwi ungwɔnɛ na.
BSB
BSB:
Once again Jesus called the crowd to Him and said,
“All of you, listen to Me and understand:
15
UTR
Nkonyi nka kaka mbi inggisɛ se ka non tsiidza dzɛma ba. Kpaa li ungwɔ ama ntɔ mbi inggisɛ ba esɛ mani. Li ama li non tsiidza aali.>>
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
UTR
(Inggisɛ ndzɛ yi adɔ yɔ non fwo.)
BSB
BSB:
Not in the BSB
Not in the earliest manuscripts
17
UTR
Mi onɔ ngwi o dzita ibyi inggisɛ lu ka kaka ozu nɛ, engwafɔɔn byun ita odzɛ mi utsa nɛni.
BSB
BSB:
After Jesus had left the crowd and gone into the house, His disciples inquired about the parable.
18
UTR
IYesu byita gbɛɛ, <<Ema yama difwi odzɛ ani le gbɔ nɛ walo? Ema ye saan dafi ungwogye ngwi abu kyi gye lu ifu ka nu abu <tsiidza> ba lo?
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
UTR
Lubana li lu itukwu mgban ba kpaa li lu ifu, di li yidɔ tɔ mi ewo mgban luba esɛ.>> (Mi odzɛ ngwi iYesu gbɔ nɛ, o tso gbɛɛ ali ungwogye duu <<Mɛ ngwi a ka gye.>>)
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
UTR
O kiyayi gbɛɛ: <<Li ungwɔ ntɔ mbi inggisɛ ma li non <tsiidza aali.>
BSB
BSB:
He continued:
“What comes out of a man, that is what defiles him.
21

23
UTR
Ungwɔ ibwubwe ntonɛ duu li mi itukwu ngwi a li tɔ di li nu inggisɛ <yɛɛ kpɛkpɛ aali.> >>
BSB
BSB:
All these evils come from within, and these are what defile a man.”
24
UTR
IYesu lu dzata imbe nani yɛ lu ewo igeli iTiru. O kaka ozu kpaa i minan gbɛɛ inggisɛ onyi no ka ye ba; nghaduu kpaa o yagba kye ewon da ba.

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.

Dafi ongyaa ngwu ongwan dzɛ yi onodzi ibwubwe ka fwo odzɛ mgban nɛ, o ba wa gbɛsɛ lankɛ iyayi.

BSB:
Instead, a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit soon heard about Jesus, and she came and fell at His feet.

Ongyaa na li iGriki, a mban mi ayɛsɛ iSiafonishia mi iSiria. O tɛkyɛ nu iYesu gbɛɛ non lɔlu emɛsɛ na tɔ mbi ongwan ongwu ongyaa.

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
UTR
Ongyaa na nun uka gbɛɛ, <<Ɛɛn, Otsɛ iYesu, obwe ama nlato ifo adinyatsɛ ogye ungwogye mgbi ɛngbɛ kpaa, li gye ambulu ama nngwuta mani.>>

“Yes, Lord,” she replied, “even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”
