ZBU
Nǝ palisiyawa nǝ gyen mi' bǝtl lashti zhil ki Musa ginǝ mbǝ te' Ulshelima is domga ma' Yesu.
BSB
BSB:
Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus,
2
ZBU
Is yeni na mil kushti wasi si ɗamti siɗa o'kǝl towai tǝngaki bǝtl lǝɓa ki mi' kina.
BSB
BSB:
and they saw some of His disciples eating with hands that were defiled—that is, unwashed.
3
ZBU
Palisiyawa ne' Yehudawa sǝn ɗa ɗamti pawai senǝ sa o'kǝl toh pa, gaki si bǝtl lǝɓa ki mi' kina.
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
ZBU
In sa pal te'ge'lu dobga ki ulti nǝ ulti taka u, sǝnɗa ɗamtipawai senǝ sa utisi mal takapa. Undǝ laɓa enɗa diɓǝli nǝsmbima' mi'kina wasǝn asi pǝlti, kǝnǝ ki o'kǝl gali ne' ki twom mali ne' kal ki dom.
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
ZBU
I palisiyawa ne' mi' kulci' mbalǝn zhil ki Musa is ngemti, “Ya lakiɗa mil kushti wagi siɗa bǝtl ulnǝs mbima mi'kina wasǝn u wai, si ɗamti bǝsiɗa o'kǝtl towai?”
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
ZBU
I' ulsisu, “Bali Ishaya dlǝmi tǝnkini, mi' bǝna ki dwaɗǝn, kan u nǝ ɗa ki laci u: “ ‘Mbalǝnyi agabi ki naltǝni, mbadlwakǝn lolu nǝ ami.
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
ZBU
Bǝtl Lya wasǝn u bali wai, ge'shu ki zhil ki Lya, zhil ki mbalǝn kǝn si kulcissi.’
BSB
BSB:
They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’
8
ZBU
Ka lakǝn zhil ki Lya taka i, ka ngapǝn zhil ki mi' kina i.”
BSB
BSB:
You have disregarded the commandment of God to keep the tradition of men.”
9
ZBU
I' ulsisu, “Kimanǝn shitu ki la'ti zhil ki Lya taka huti aki ngapti zhil ki mi' kina.
BSB
BSB:
He went on to say,
“You neatly set aside the command of God to maintain your own tradition.
10
ZBU
Gaki Musa usu, ‘Nal bwagi nǝ dyawagi,’ ‘Mulnǝ, abyal bwasu ko dyawasu, a tloti.’
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
ZBU
Ngo nǝnǝgu kini ki usu, in mulnǝ azi ulǝn tǝngaki ti' ɗǝl bwasi nǝ dyawasi adǝm Kolban i', (iki, abǝl Lya i)
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
ZBU
nǝgu katl, kǝkǝn za'titi tǝ'pǝli bwasi ko dyawasi kyautǝn ki ulǝnwai.
BSB
BSB:
he is no longer permitted to do anything for his father or mother.
13
ZBU
Nǝgu lakiɗa ki ɗa katshilǝn ki Lya baliwai gaki bǝtl zhil ki mi' kina. Ki njikǝ' pǝtl undigi.”
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
ZBU
Ɗaɗanu i Yesu taki diɓǝl mbalǝn bi, i' ulsisu, “Kumǝnnǝni muswakǝn, a'manangu.
BSB
BSB:
Once again Jesus called the crowd to Him and said,
“All of you, listen to Me and understand:
15
ZBU
Ulnǝ ɗǝ su' ge' yakǝn mbalǝn tu'dla u i ɗǝ bezǝtiwai, ulnǝ ɗǝ pe'tito' ge'tu ɗǝ bezǝti.”
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
ZBU
Mul kǝm ki kumti, ti' kumi,
BSB
BSB:
Not in the BSB
Not in the earliest manuscripts
17
ZBU
Kalki za'ti hwu'mbalǝn i, nǝtte libi u, i mil kushti wasi is ngemti yakǝn cimbǝlti u ɗǝ dlǝmti.
BSB
BSB:
After Jesus had left the crowd and gone into the house, His disciples inquired about the parable.
18
ZBU
I' ulsisu, “Kinima kimaniniwaiya?” “Ulnǝ ɗǝ suge' mbalǝn tu'dla u, kǝn bezǝtiwai,
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
ZBU
Nǝbǝ ambadlwas kǝn suwai u, atu'ɗa'ka su, tu'nǝgu tǝpekki.” Nǝnǝgu Yesu pal mus ulki ɗami ki zeki.
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
ZBU
I' usu, “Ulnǝ ɗǝpe'ti to'ge' tu'ki yakǝn mbalǝn u iɗǝ bezǝt'ti.
BSB
BSB:
He continued:
“What comes out of a man, that is what defiles him.
21
ZBU
A tugi, age' mbadl ki yakǝn mbalǝn, kǝn bezǝn lǝɓa ɗǝpe'ti, kǝnǝ kwonti, nǝ mǝgǝlti, nǝ tlom mbalǝn,

greed, wickedness, deceit, debauchery, envy, slander, arrogance, and foolishness.
23
ZBU
Mus bezǝn lǝɓagi atu'kǝn sipe'titoɗi, si ɗǝ bezǝn mbalǝn.”
BSB
BSB:
All these evils come from within, and these are what defile a man.”
24
ZBU
I Yesu za'lǝbi illǝ Taya nǝ Sidon. It tege' libiwon, ta lyami tǝmulǝn maniwai ngo' nǝnǝgu a hwunwai.
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
ZBU
Kǝliwon, gunǝ du mi'gatli gob yakuwasi, nǝkumi Yesu ɗa ki u, illǝ in ndakina ɗakka.
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

I Yesu ultisu, “Hwe tǝkǝm mil pa, gaki a'mbuni akan ulki ɗami ki milwai tǝbǝl kaɗiwai.”
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
ZBU
I kǝliyi ndǝgiti i'ultisu, “Mul nalti, ey nǝguɗa, ngo'nǝnǝgu kaɗi nǝnɗǝ ɗab bi ki mil.”
BSB
BSB:
“Yes, Lord,” she replied, “even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”
29
ZBU
I Yesu ultisu, “Gaki shilǝnwa'gu, paltya, du mi'gatli aza' yakuwagi yakǝnkǝli.”

BSB:
Then Jesus told her,
“Because of this answer, you may go. The demon has left your daughter.”
