Mako 7

¹Zvino vaFarise navamwe vavanyori vaibva Jerusarema, vakavunganira kwaari;Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem.

²vakavona vamwe vavadzidzi vake vachidya namavoko anetsvina, ndokuti asina kushambwa.And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault.

³Nokuti vaFarise, navaJudha vose havadyi vasina kumboshamba mavoko kwazvo, vachichengeta tsika dzavakuru.For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.

⁴Kana vachidya padare havangadyi vasina kumboshamba; nezvimwe zvizhinji zviri po zvavakanga vagamuchira, kuti vazvichengete, zvinoti: Kusuka mikombe, nehari, nemidziyo yendarira.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.

⁵Ipapo vaFarise navanyori vakamubvunza, vachiti: Vadzidzi venyu vanoregeiko kufamba netsika dzavakuru, zvavanodya chingwa namavoko anetsvina?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?

⁶Akati kwavari: Isaya wakaporofita kwazvo pamusoro penyu, imi vanyengeri, sezvakanyorwa, zvichinzi: Vanhu ava vanondikudza nemiromo yavo, Asi moyo yavo iri kure neni.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.

⁷Asi vanondinamata pasina, Vachidzidzisa dzidziso, iri mirairo yavanhu.Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

⁸Munosiya mirairo yaMwari, muchichengeta tsika dzavanhu.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.

⁹Akati kwavari: Zvirokwazvo, munoramba murairo waMwari, kuti muchengete tsika dzenyu;And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

¹⁰nokuti Mosesi wakati: Kudza baba vako namai vako, vuye, unotuka baba namai, ngaafe norufu.For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:

¹¹Asi imi munoti: Kana munhu achiti kunababa vake kana mai vake: Chinhu chipi nechipi chamaiti munobatsirwa nacho kwandiri chava Korbani, ndokuti chava chipo kunaMwari,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.

¹²hamuchamutenderi kuitira baba vake namai vake chinhu.And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;

¹³muchitorera shoko raMwari simba netsika dzenyu dzamakachengeta, nezvinhu zvizhinji zvakadaro munozviita.Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

¹⁴Akadanira zve kwaari vanhu vazhinji akati kwavari: Nditererei mose, munzwisise!And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:

¹⁵Hapanechinhu kunze kwomunhu chingamusvibisa, kana chichipinda maari; asi zvinobuda maari, ndizvo zvinosvibisa munhu. {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.

¹⁶Kana munhu anenzeve dzokunzwa, ngaanzwe.}If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

¹⁷Zvino; wakati abva kuvanhu vazhinji, apinda mumba, vadzidzi vake vakamubvunza zvomufananidzo uyo.And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.

¹⁸Akati kwavari: Nemi vo hamunzwisisi saizvozvo here? Hamunzwisisi here kuti zvose zviri kunze, kana zvichipinda mumunhu, hazvipindi mumoyo make asi mudumbu, zvichirashwa kunze, kana zvichipinda mumunhu, hazvigoni kumusvibisa?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;

¹⁹Nokuti hazvipindi mumoyo make asi mudumbu, zvichirashwa kunze; nokutaura kwakadaro wakanatsa zvokudya zvose.Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?

²⁰Ipapo akati: Zvinobuda mumunhu ndizvo zvinosvibisa munhu.And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.

²¹Nokuti mukati, mumoyo yavanhu munobuda mifungo yakaipa, novupombwe, nokuba, nokuvuraya.For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

²²novufeve, noruchiva, nokuipa, nokunyengera, novutere, neziso rinegodo, nokutuka, namanyawi, novupenzi;Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:

²³zvakaipa izvozvo zvose zvinobva mukati, zvinosvibisa munhu.All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

²⁴Wakasimuka ipapo.akasimuka akaenda kunyika yeTire neSidoni; akapinda mumba, asingadi kuzikanwa nomunhu; akakoniwa kuzvivanza.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.

²⁵Nokuti mumwe mukadzi, waiva nomwanasikana muduku, wakanga anomweya wetsvina, wakati achimunzwa, akavuya akazviwisira pasi petsoka dzake.For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:

²⁶Zvino iye mukadzi waiva muGiriki, worudzi rwaveSirofenike; akaramba achikumbira kwaari kuti abudise mweya wakaipa pamwanasikana wake.The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.

²⁷Akati kwaari: Vana ngavatange kuguta, nokuti hazvina kunaka kutora chingwa chavana, ndokuchikandira imbwanana.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.

²⁸Akapindura, akati kwaari: Hongu, Ishe, kunyange nembwanana vo dzinodya pasi petafura zvimedu zvavana.And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs.

²⁹Akati kwaari: Nokuda kweshoko iro, enda; mweya wakaipa wabva pamwanasikana wako,And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.

³⁰Akaenda kumba kwake, akawana mwana avete pamubeda, mweya wakaipa wabva.And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.

³¹Zvino wakati achibva zve munyika yeTire, akaenda napakati peSidoni kugungwa reGarirea, napakati penyika yeDhekapori.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.

³²Vakaisa kwaari munhu wematsi, waikakamira vakakumbira zvikuru kuti aise ruvoko rwake pamusoro pake.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.

³³Akamubvisa pakati pavanhu vazhinji, ndokuenda naye parutivi, akapinza munwe munzeve dzake, akapfira mate, ndokubata rurimi rwake.And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;

³⁴Ipapo akatarira kudenga, akagomera akati, kwaari: Efata, ndokuti: Dzivuka.And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.

³⁵Pakarepo nzeve dzake dzakadzivuka, chisungo chorurimi rwake chakasununguka, akataura zvakanaka.And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.

³⁶Zvino wakavaraira, kuti varege kuvudza vanhu; asi iye achinyanya kuvaraira, ivo vakanyanyisa kuparidza izvozvo.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;

³⁷Vakashamiswa zvikuru-kuru, vachiti: Wakaita zvose zvakanaka; wakaita matsi kuti dzinzwe, nembeveve kuti dzitaure.And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
