¹Zvino kwakaunganira kwaari vaFarisi nevamwe vevanyori vaibva kuJerusarema;

¹And the Pharisees and some of the scribes, coming from Jerusalem, are gathered together to him,

²vakati vaona vamwe vevadzidzi vake vachidya zvingwa nemaoko ane tsvina, ndiko kuti asina kushambwa, vakasvora.

²and seeing some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is, unwashed, hands,

³Nekuti vaFarisi, nevaJudha vose, havadyi kunze kwekuti vashamba maoko kwazvo, vachibatirira tsika dzevakuru.

³(for the Pharisees and all the Jews, unless they wash their hands diligently, do not eat, holding what has been delivered by the ancients;

⁴Kana vachibva pamusika, kunze kwekuti vashamba, havadyi; nezvimwe zvinhu zvizhinji zviripo zvavakange vagamuchira kuti vazvichengete, zvinoti: Kusuka mikombe, nehari, nemidziyo yendarira, nenhovo.

⁴and [on coming] from the market-place, unless they are washed, they do not eat; and there are many other things which they have received to hold, the washing of cups and vessels, and brazen utensils, and couches),

⁵Ipapo vaFarisi nevanyori vakamubvunza, vachiti: Nemhaka yei vadzidzi venyu vasingafambi netsika yevakuru, asi vanodya chingwa nemaoko asina kushambwa?

⁵then the Pharisees and the scribes ask him, Why do thy disciples not walk according to what has been delivered by the ancients, but eat the bread with defiled hands?

⁶Asi wakapindura akati kwavari: Isaya wakaporofita zvakanaka pamusoro penyu imwi vanyepedzeri, sezvazvakanyorwa, zvichinzi: Zera iri rinondikudza nemiromo, asi moyo wavo uri kure neni.

⁶But he answering said to them, Well did Esaias prophesy concerning you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honour me with their lips, but their heart is far away from me.

⁷Asi vanondinamata pasina, vachidzidzisa dzidziso, dziri mirairo yevanhu.

⁷But in vain do they worship me, teaching [as their] teachings commandments of men.

⁸Nekuti munosiya mirairo yaMwari, muchibatirira tsika yevanhu, sekusuka hari nemikombe, nezvimwe zvizhinji zvakadaro munozviita.

⁸[For], leaving the commandment of God, ye hold what is delivered by men [to keep] -- washings of vessels and cups, and many other such like things ye do.

⁹Zvino akati kwavari: Munoramba nemazvo murairo waMwari, kuti muchengete tsika yenyu.

⁹And he said to them, Well do ye set aside the commandment of God, that ye may observe what is delivered by yourselves [to keep].

¹⁰Nekuti Mozisi wakati: Kudza baba vako namai vako; uye: Unotuka baba kana mai, unofanira kufa rufu.

¹⁰For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, he who speaks ill of father or mother, let him surely die.

¹¹Asi imwi munoti: Kana munhu achiti kuna baba kana mai: Chinhu chipi nechipi chamunobatsirwa nacho neni "iKorbani*", ndokuti chipo kuna Mwari,

¹¹But *ye* say, If a man say to his father or his mother, [It is] corban (that is, gift), whatsoever thou mightest have profit from me by ...

¹²hamuchamutenderi kuitira baba vake kana mai vake chinhu,

¹²And ye no longer suffer him to do anything for his father or his mother;

¹³muchishayisa shoko raMwari maturo netsika dzenyu dzamunogamuchidzana; nezvinhu zvizhinji zvakadaro munozviita.

¹³making void the word of God by your traditional teaching which ye have delivered; and many such like things ye do.

¹⁴Zvino wakati adanira kwaari chaunga chose akati kwavari: Nditeererei mose, munzwisise.

¹⁴And having called again the crowd, he said to them, Hear me, all [of you], and understand:

¹⁵Hapana chinhu chinobva kunze kwemunhu chinopinda maari chingamusvibisa; asi zvinhu zvinobuda maari, ndizvo zvinosvibisa munhu.

¹⁵There is nothing from outside a man entering into him which can defile him; but the things which go out from him, those it is which defile the man.

¹⁶Kana aripo ane nzeve dzekunzwa, ngaanzwe.

¹⁶If any one have ears to hear, let him hear.

¹⁷Zvino wakati apinda mumba achibva kuchaunga, vadzidzi vake vakamubvunza pamusoro pemufananidzo.

¹⁷And when he went indoors from the crowd, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.

¹⁸Akati kwavari: Saizvozvo nemwi hamunzwisisi here? Hamunzwisisi here kuti chose chinobva kunze chichipinda mumunhu hachigoni kumusvibisa?

¹⁸And he says to them, Are *ye* also thus unintelligent? Do ye not perceive that all that is outside entering into the man cannot defile him,

¹⁹Nekuti hachipindi mumoyo make, asi mudumbu; chichibuda kunze, achinatsa zvikafu zvose.

¹⁹because it does not enter into his heart but into his belly, and goes out into the draught, purging all meats?

²⁰Ndokubva ati: Icho chinobuda mumunhu, ndicho chinosvibisa munhu.

²⁰And he said, That which goes forth out of the man, that defiles the man.

²¹Nekuti kubva mukati mumoyo wevanhu munobuda mifungo yakaipa, upombwe, ufeve, umhondi,

²¹For from within, out of the heart of men, go forth evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

²²umbavha, ruchiva, kuipa, kunyengera, meso-meso, ziso rakaipa, kunyomba, kuzvikudza, upenzi;

²²thefts, covetousness, wickednesses, deceit, licentiousness, a wicked eye, injurious language, haughtiness, folly;

²³zvose zvinhu izvi zvakaipa zvinobva mukati, zvichisvibisa munhu.

²³all these wicked things go forth from within and defile the man.

²⁴Zvino kubva ipapo wakasimuka akaenda kumiganhu yeTire neSidoni; akapinda mumba, asingadi kuti pave neunozviziva, asi akakoniwa kuvanzika.

²⁴And he rose up and went away thence into the borders of Tyre and Sidon; and having entered into a house he would not have any one know [it], and he could not be hid.

²⁵Nekuti mukadzi, waiva nemukunda muduku wakange ane mweya wetsvina, wakanzwa nezvake, akauya akawira patsoka dzake.

²⁵But immediately a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell at his feet

²⁶Uye mukadzi waiva muGiriki, muSirofenike pachizvarwa; akamukumbirisa kuti abudise dhimoni pamukunda wake.

²⁶(and the woman was a Greek, Syrophenician by race), and asked him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter.

²⁷Asi Jesu akati kwaari: Regai vana vatange kuguta, nekuti hazvina kunaka kutora chingwa chevana, ndokukandira kuimbwanana.

²⁷But [Jesus] said to her, Suffer the children to be first filled; for it is not right to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs.

²⁸Akapindura akati kwaari: Hongu, Ishe; kunyange nembwanana dziri pasi petafura dzinodya zvezvimedu zvevana.

²⁸But she answered and says to him, Yea, Lord; for even the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.

²⁹Akati kwaari: Nekuda kweshoko iri, enda; dhimoni rabva pamukunda wako.

²⁹And he said to her, Because of this word, go thy way, the demon is gone out of thy daughter.

³⁰Akabva akaenda kumba kwake, akawana dhimoni rabuda, mukunda avete panhovo.

³⁰And having gone away to her house she found the demon gone out, and her daughter lying on the bed.

³¹Zvino wakatizve achibva kumiganhu yeTire neSidhoni, akauya kugungwa reGarirea, nepakati pemiganhu yeDhekapori.

³¹And again having left the borders of Tyre and Sidon, he came to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.

³²Vakauisa kwaari umwe waiva matsi waikakamira, vakamukumbirisa kuti aise ruoko pamusoro pake.

³²And they bring to him a deaf [man] who could not speak right, and they beseech him that he might lay his hand on him.

³³Akamutora ari oga kubva pachaunga, akapinza mimwe yake munzeve dzake, akapfira, ndokubata rurimi rwake.

³³And having taken him away from the crowd apart, he put his fingers to his ears; and having spit, he touched his tongue;

³⁴Atarira kumusoro kudenga, akagomera, akati kwaari: "Efata"; ndiko kuti: Zarurwa!

³⁴and looking up to heaven he groaned, and says to him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.

³⁵Pakarepo nzeve dzake dzakazarurwa, chisungo cherurimi rwake chikasunungurwa, akataura zvakarurama.

³⁵And immediately his ears were opened, and the band of his tongue was loosed and he spoke right.

³⁶Ndokuvaraira, kuti varege kuudza munhu; asi pakunyanya kuvaraira, vakanyanya zvikuru kuparidza izvozvo.

³⁶And he charged them that they should speak to no one [of it]. But so much the more *he* charged them, so much the more abundantly *they* proclaimed it;

³⁷Vakashamisika zvikuru kwazvo, vachiti: Wakaita zviri zviviri zvakanaka; wakaita matsi kuti dzinzwe, nezvimumumu kuti zvitaure.

³⁷and they were astonished above measure, saying, He does all things well; he makes both the deaf to hear, and the speechless to speak.
