¹Kisha Mafarisayo na walimu wa Sheria wakafika kutoka Yerusalemu, wakamwendea Yesu, wakamwuliza,

¹ܗܝܕܝܢ ܩܪܒܘ ܠܘܬ ܝܫܘܥ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܘܤܦܪܐ ܕܡܢ ܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܀

²"Kwa nini wanafunzi wako hawajali mapokeo tuliyopokea kutoka kwa wazee wetu? Hawanawi mikono yao kama ipasavyo kabla ya kula!"

²ܠܡܢܐ ܬܠܡܝܕܝܟ ܥܒܪܝܢ ܥܠ ܡܫܠܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܩܫܝܫܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܫܝܓܝܢ ܐܝܕܝܗܘܢ ܡܐ ܕܐܟܠܝܢ ܠܚܡܐ ܀

³Yesu akawajibu, "Kwa nini nanyi mnapendelea mapokeo yenu wenyewe na hamuijali Sheria ya Mungu?

³ܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܡܢܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܒܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܠ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܛܠ ܡܫܠܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ ܀

⁴Mungu amesema: Waheshimu baba yako na mama yako, na Anayemkashifu baba yake au mama yake, lazima auawe.

⁴ܐܠܗܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܡܪ ܝܩܪ ܠܐܒܘܟ ܘܠܐܡܟ ܘܡܢ ܕܡܨܚܐ ܠܐܒܘܗܝ ܘܠܐܡܗ ܡܡܬ ܢܡܘܬ ܀

⁵Lakini ninyi mwafundisha ati mtu akiwa na kitu ambacho angeweza kuwasaidia nacho baba au mama yake, lakini akasema: Kitu hiki nimemtolea Mungu,

⁵ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܟܠ ܡܢ ܕܢܐܡܪ ܠܐܒܐ ܐܘ ܠܐܡܐ ܩܘܪܒܢܝ ܡܕܡ ܕܬܬܗܢܐ ܡܢܝ ܘܠܐ ܢܝܩܪ ܠܐܒܘܗܝ ܐܘ ܠܐܡܗ ܀

⁶basi, hapaswi tena kumheshimu baba yake! Ndivyo mnavyodharau neno la Mungu kwa kufuata mafundisho yenu wenyewe.

⁶ܘܒܛܠܬܘܢ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܛܠ ܡܫܠܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܝܠܟܘܢ ܀

⁷Enyi wanafiki! Isaya alitabiri sawa kabisa juu yenu:

⁷ܢܤܒܝ ܒܐܦܐ ܫܦܝܪ ܐܬܢܒܝ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܐܫܥܝܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܀

⁸Watu hawa, asema Mungu, huniheshimu kwa maneno tu, lakini mioyoni mwao wako mbali nami.

⁸ܥܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܒܤܦܘܬܗ ܗܘ ܡܝܩܪ ܠܝ ܠܒܗܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܤܓܝ ܪܚܝܩ ܡܢܝ ܀

⁹Kuniabudu kwao hakufai, maana mambo wanayofundisha ni maagizo ya kibinadamu tu."

⁹ܘܤܪܝܩܐܝܬ ܕܚܠܝܢ ܠܝ ܟܕ ܡܠܦܝܢ ܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܕܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܀

¹⁰Yesu aliuita ule umati wa watu, akawaambia, "Sikilizeni na muelewe!

¹⁰ܘܩܪܐ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܡܥܘ ܘܐܤܬܟܠܘ ܀

¹¹Kitu kinachomtia mtu najisi si kile kiingiacho kinywani, bali kile kitokacho kinywani. Hicho ndicho kimtiacho mtu najisi."

¹¹ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܥܐܠ ܠܦܘܡܐ ܡܤܝܒ ܠܒܪܢܫܐ ܐܠܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܢܦܩ ܡܢ ܦܘܡܐ ܗܘ ܗܘ ܡܤܝܒ ܠܒܪܢܫܐ ܀

¹²Kisha wanafunzi wakamwendea, wakamwambia, "Je, unajua kwamba Mafarisayo walichukizwa waliposikia maneno yako?"

¹²ܗܝܕܝܢ ܩܪܒܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܬ ܕܦܪܝܫܐ ܕܫܡܥܘ ܡܠܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܐܬܟܫܠܘ ܀

¹³Lakini yeye akawajibu, "Kila mmea ambao Baba yangu aliye mbinguni hakuupanda, utang'olewa.

¹³ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܥܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܟܠ ܢܨܒܬܐ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܨܒܗ ܐܒܝ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ ܬܬܥܩܪ ܀

¹⁴Waacheni wenyewe! Wao ni vipofu, viongozi wa vipofu; na kipofu akimwongoza kipofu, wote wawili hutumbukia shimoni."

¹⁴ܫܒܘܩܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܤܡܝܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܢܓܘܕܐ ܕܤܡܝܐ ܤܡܝܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܤܡܝܐ ܐܢ ܢܕܒܪ ܬܪܝܗܘܢ ܒܓܘܡܨܐ ܢܦܠܝܢ ܀

¹⁵Petro akadakia, "Tufafanulie huo mfano."

¹⁵ܘܥܢܐ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܪܝ ܦܫܩ ܠܢ ܡܬܠܐ ܗܢܐ ܀

¹⁶Yesu akasema, "Hata nyinyi hamwelewi?

¹⁶ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܗܫܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܡܤܬܟܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܀

¹⁷Je, hamwelewi kwamba kila kinachoingia kinywani huenda tumboni na baadaye hutupwa nje chooni?

¹⁷ܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܡܕܡ ܕܥܐܠ ܠܦܘܡܐ ܠܟܪܤܐ ܗܘ ܐܙܠ ܘܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܒܬܕܟܝܬܐ ܡܫܬܕܐ ܠܒܪ ܀

¹⁸Lakini yale yatokayo kinywani hutoka moyoni, na hayo ndiyo yanayomtia mtu najisi.

¹⁸ܡܕܡ ܕܝܢ ܕܡܢ ܦܘܡܐ ܢܦܩ ܡܢ ܠܒܐ ܢܦܩ ܘܗܘܝܘ ܡܤܝܒ ܠܗ ܠܒܪܢܫܐ ܀

¹⁹Maana moyoni hutoka mawazo maovu yanayosababisha uuaji, uzinzi, uasherati, wizi, ushahidi wa uongo na kashfa.

¹⁹ܡܢ ܠܒܐ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܢܦܩܢ ܡܚܫܒܬܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܓܘܪܐ ܩܛܠܐ ܙܢܝܘܬܐ ܓܢܒܘܬܐ ܤܗܕܘܬ ܫܘܩܪܐ ܓܘܕܦܐ ܀

²⁰Hayo ndiyo yanayomtia mtu najisi. Lakini kula chakula bila kunawa mikono hakumtii mtu najisi."

²⁰ܗܠܝܢ ܐܢܝܢ ܕܡܤܝܒܢ ܠܒܪܢܫܐ ܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܕܝܢ ܢܠܥܤ ܟܕ ܠܐ ܡܫܓܢ ܐܝܕܘܗܝ ܠܐ ܡܤܬܝܒ ܀

²¹Yesu aliondoka mahali hapo akaenda kukaa katika sehemu za Tiro na Sidoni.

²¹ܘܢܦܩ ܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܬܐ ܠܬܚܘܡܐ ܕܨܘܪ ܘܕܨܝܕܢ ܀

²²Basi, mama mmoja Mkaanani wa nchi hiyo alimjia, akapaaza sauti: "Mheshimiwa, Mwana wa Daudi, nionee huruma! Binti yangu anasumbuliwa na pepo."

²²ܘܗܐ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܟܢܥܢܝܬܐ ܡܢ ܬܚܘܡܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܢܦܩܬ ܟܕ ܩܥܝܐ ܘܐܡܪܐ ܐܬܪܚܡ ܥܠܝ ܡܪܝ ܒܪܗ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܒܪܬܝ ܒܝܫܐܝܬ ܡܬܕܒܪܐ ܡܢ ܫܐܕܐ ܀

²³Lakini Yesu hakumjibu neno. Basi, wanafunzi wake wakamwendea, wakamwambia, "Mwambie aende zake kwa maana anatufuatafuata akipiga kelele."

²³ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܦܢܝܗ ܦܬܓܡܐ ܘܩܪܒܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܒܥܘ ܡܢܗ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܫܪܝܗ ܕܩܥܝܐ ܒܬܪܢ ܀

²⁴Yesu akajibu, "Sikutumwa ila kwa watu wa Israeli waliopotea kama kondoo."

²⁴ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܥܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܐܫܬܕܪܬ ܐܠܐ ܠܘܬ ܥܪܒܐ ܕܛܥܘ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܀

²⁵Hapo huyo mama akaja, akapiga magoti mbele yake, akasema, "Mheshimiwa, nisaidie."

²⁵ܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܬ ܤܓܕܬ ܠܗ ܘܐܡܪܬ ܡܪܝ ܥܕܪܝܢܝ ܀

²⁶Yesu akamjibu, "Si sawa kuchukua chakula cha watoto na kuwatupia mbwa."

²⁶ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܠܐ ܫܦܝܪ ܠܡܤܒ ܠܚܡܐ ܕܒܢܝܐ ܘܠܡܪܡܝܘ ܠܟܠܒܐ ܀

²⁷Huyo mama akajibu, "Ni kweli, Mheshimiwa; lakini hata mbwa hula makombo yanayoanguka kutoka meza ya bwana wao."

²⁷ܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܬ ܐܝܢ ܡܪܝ ܐܦ ܟܠܒܐ ܐܟܠܝܢ ܡܢ ܦܪܬܘܬܐ ܕܢܦܠܝܢ ܡܢ ܦܬܘܪܐ ܕܡܪܝܗܘܢ ܘܚܐܝܢ ܀

²⁸Hapo Yesu akamjibu, "Mama, imani yako ni kubwa; basi, ufanyiwe kama unavyotaka." Yule binti yake akapona tangu saa hiyo wakati huohuo.

²⁸ܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܘ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܪܒܐ ܗܝ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܝ ܢܗܘܐ ܠܟܝ ܐܝܟ ܕܨܒܝܐ ܐܢܬܝ ܘܐܬܐܤܝܬ ܒܪܬܗ ܡܢ ܗܝ ܫܥܬܐ ܀

²⁹Yesu alitoka hapo akaenda kando ya ziwa Galilaya, akapanda mlimani, akaketi.

²⁹ܘܫܢܝ ܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܬܐ ܥܠ ܓܢܒ ܝܡܐ ܕܓܠܝܠܐ ܘܤܠܩ ܠܛܘܪܐ ܘܝܬܒ ܬܡܢ ܀

³⁰Watu wengi sana wakamjia wakiwaleta vilema, vipofu, viwete, bubu na wengine wengi waliokuwa wagonjwa, wakawaweka mbele ya miguu yake, naye Yesu akawaponya.

³⁰ܘܩܪܒܘ ܠܘܬܗ ܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܘ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܚܓܝܪܐ ܘܤܡܝܐ ܘܚܪܫܐ ܘܦܫܝܓܐ ܘܐܚܪܢܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܘܐܪܡܝܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܘܬ ܪܓܠܘܗܝ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܤܝ ܐܢܘܢ ܀

³¹Umati ule wa watu ulishangaa sana ulipoona bubu wakiongea, waliokuwa wamelemaa wamepona, viwete wakitembea na vipofu wakiona; wakamsifu Mungu wa Israeli.

³¹ܐܝܟ ܕܢܬܕܡܪܘܢ ܟܢܫܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܚܙܝܢ ܚܪܫܐ ܕܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܘܦܫܝܓܐ ܕܡܬܚܠܡܝܢ ܘܚܓܝܪܐ ܕܡܗܠܟܝܢ ܘܤܡܝܐ ܕܚܙܝܢ ܘܫܒܚܘ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܕܝܤܪܝܠ ܀

³²Basi, Yesu aliwaita wanafunzi wake, akasema, "Nawaonea watu hawa huruma kwa sababu kwa siku tatu wamekuwa nami, wala hawana chakula. Sipendi kuwaacha waende bila kula wasije wakazimia njiani."

³²ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܩܪܐ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܬܪܚܡ ܐܢܐ ܥܠ ܟܢܫܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܗܐ ܬܠܬܐ ܝܘܡܝܢ ܩܘܝܘ ܠܘܬܝ ܘܠܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܐ ܕܢܐܟܠܘܢ ܘܕܐܫܪܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܟܕ ܨܝܡܝܢ ܠܐ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܠܡܐ ܢܥܘܦܘܢ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܀

³³Wanafunzi wakamwambia, "Hapa tuko nyikani; tutapata wapi chakula cha kuwatosha watu wengi hivi?"

³³ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܐܝܡܟܐ ܠܢ ܒܚܘܪܒܐ ܠܚܡܐ ܕܢܤܒܥ ܟܢܫܐ ܗܢܐ ܟܠܗ ܀

³⁴Yesu akawauliza, "Mnayo mikate mingapi?" Wakamjibu, "Saba na visamaki vichache."

³⁴ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܟܡܐ ܠܚܡܝܢ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܫܒܥܐ ܘܩܠܝܠ ܢܘܢܐ ܕܩܕܩܐ ܀

³⁵Basi, Yesu akawaamuru watu wakae chini.

³⁵ܘܦܩܕ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܕܢܤܬܡܟܘܢ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܀

³⁶Akaitwaa ile mikate saba na vile visamaki, akamshukuru Mungu, akavimega, akawapa wanafunzi, nao wakawagawia watu.

³⁶ܘܫܩܠ ܠܗܠܝܢ ܫܒܥܐ ܠܚܡܝܢ ܘܠܢܘܢܐ ܘܫܒܚ ܘܩܨܐ ܘܝܗܒ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܝܗܒܘ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܀

³⁷Wote wakala, wakashiba. Kisha wakakusanya makombo, wakajaza vikapu saba.

³⁷ܘܐܟܠܘ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܘܤܒܥܘ ܘܫܩܠܘ ܬܘܬܪܐ ܕܩܨܝܐ ܡܠܐ ܫܒܥܐ ܐܤܦܪܝܕܝܢ ܀

³⁸Hao waliokula walikuwa wanaume elfu nne, bila kuhesabu wanawake na watoto.

³⁸ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܟܠܘ ܗܘܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܐܪܒܥܐ ܐܠܦܝܢ ܓܒܪܐ ܤܛܪ ܡܢ ܢܫܐ ܘܛܠܝܐ ܀ 39 ܘܟܕ ܫܪܐ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܤܠܩ ܠܐܠܦܐ ܘܐܬܐ ܠܬܚܘܡܐ ܕܡܓܕܘ ܀

³⁹Basi, Yesu akawaaga watu, akapanda mashua, akaenda katika eneo la Magadani.
