Growing Opposition
1 Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem.
Kisha Mafarisayo, na baadhi ya waandishi waliotoka Yerusalemu, wakakusanyika mbele yake,
2 And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault.
wakaona wengine katika wanafunzi wake wakila vyakula kwa mikono najisi, yaani, isiyonawiwa.
3 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.
Kwa maana Mafarisayo na Wayahudi wote wasiponawa mikono mpaka kiwiko, hawali, wakishika mapokeo ya wazee wao;
4 And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables.
tena wakitoka sokoni, wasipotawadha, hawali; na yako mambo mengine waliyopokea kuyashika, kama kuosha vikombe, na midumu, na vyombo vya shaba.
5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?
Basi wale Mafarisayo na waandishi wakamwuliza, Mbona wanafunzi wako hawaendi kwa kuyafuata mapokeo ya wazee, bali hula chakula kwa mikono najisi?
6 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written,
This people honoureth me with their lips,
But their heart is far from me.
Akawaambia, Isaya alitabiri vema juu yenu ninyi wanafiki, kama ilivyoandikwa, Watu hawa huniheshimu kwa midomo Ila mioyo yao iko mbali nami;
7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me,
Teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
Nao waniabudu bure, Wakifundisha mafundisho Yaliyo maagizo ya wanadamu,
8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
Ninyi mwaiacha amri ya Mungu, na kuyashika mapokeo ya wanadamu.
9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.
Akawaambia, Vema! Mwaikataa amri ya Mungu mpate kuyashika mapokeo yenu.
10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:
Maana Musa alisema, Waheshimu baba yako na mama yako, na, Amtukanaye babaye au mamaye kufa na afe.
11 but ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free .
Bali ninyi husema, Mtu akimwambia babaye au mamaye, Ni Korbani, yaani, wakfu, kitu changu cho chote kikupasacho kufaidiwa nacho, huwa basi;
12 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;
wala hammruhusu baada ya hayo kumtendea neno babaye au mamaye;
13 making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
huku mkilitangua neno la Mungu kwa mapokeo yenu mliyopokeana; tena mwafanya mambo mengi yaliyo sawasawa na hayo.
14 And when he had called all the people unto him , he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you , and understand:
Akawaita makutano tena, akawaambia, Nisikieni nyote na kufahamu.
15 there is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.
Hakuna kitu kilicho nje ya mtu ambacho kikimwingia chaweza kumtia unajisi, bali vile vimtokavyo, ndivyo vimtiavyo unajisi yule mtu.
16 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
Mtu akiwa na masikio ya kusikilia, na asikie.]
17 And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.
Hata alipoingia nyumbani, ameuacha mkutano, wanafunzi wake wakamwuliza habari za ule mfano.
18 And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him;
Akawaambia, Hivi hata ninyi hamna akili? Hamfahamu ya kwamba kila kitu kilicho nje ya mtu, kikimwingia, hakiwezi kumtia unajisi;
19 because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?
kwa sababu hakimwingii moyoni, ila tumboni tu; kisha chatoka kwenda chooni? Kwa kusema hivi alivitakasa vyakula vyote.
20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.
Akasema, Kimtokacho mtu ndicho kimtiacho unajisi.
21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
Kwa maana ndani ya mioyo ya watu hutoka mawazo mabaya, uasherati,
22 thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
wivi, uuaji, uzinzi, tamaa mbaya, ukorofi, hila, ufisadi, kijicho, matukano, kiburi, upumbavu.
23 all these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
Haya yote yaliyo maovu yatoka ndani, nayo yamtia mtu unajisi.
Tyre and Sidon
24 And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know it : but he could not be hid.
Akaondoka huko, akaenda zake hata mipaka ya Tiro na Sidoni. Akaingia katika nyumba, akataka isijulikane na mtu; lakini hakuweza kusitirika.
25 For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:
Ila mara mwanamke, ambaye binti yake yuna pepo mchafu, alisikia habari zake, akaja akamwangukia miguuni pake.
26 the woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.
Na yule mwanamke ni Myunani, kabila yake ni Msirofoinike. Akamwomba amtoe pepo katika binti yake.
27 But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs.
Akamwambia, Waache watoto washibe kwanza; maana si vizuri kukitwaa chakula cha watoto, na kuwatupia mbwa.
28 And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.
Naye akajibu, akamwambia, Naam, Bwana, lakini hata mbwa walio chini ya meza hula makombo ya watoto.
29 And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.
Akamwambia, Kwa sababu ya neno hilo, enenda zako, pepo amemtoka binti yako.
30 And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.
Akaenda zake nyumbani kwake, akamkuta yule kijana amelazwa kitandani, na yule pepo amekwisha kumtoka.
Coasts of Decapolis
31 And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.
Akatoka tena katika mipaka ya Tiro, akapita katikati ya Sidoni, akaenda mpaka bahari ya Galilaya, kati ya mipaka ya Dekapoli.
32 And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him.
Wakamletea kiziwi, naye ni mwenye utasi, wakamsihi amwekee mikono.
33 And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;
Akamtenga na mkutano faraghani, akatia vidole vyake masikioni mwake, akatema mate, akamgusa ulimi,
34 and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.
akatazama juu mbinguni, akaugua, akamwambia, Efatha, maana yake, Funguka.
35 And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.
Mara masikio yake yakafunguka, kifungo cha ulimi wake kikalegea, akasema vizuri.
36 And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it ;
Akawaonya wasimwambie mtu; lakini kadiri ya alivyozidi kuwaagiza, ndivyo walivyozidi kutangaza habari;
37 and were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
wakashangaa mno kupita kiasi, wakinena, Ametenda mambo yote vema; viziwi awafanya wasikie, na bubu waseme.
