Obulombolombo bw’Abayudaaya
1Awo abafalisaayo n’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka abamu abaali bavudde e Yerusaalemi ne bakuŋŋaanira awali Yesu. 27:2 Bik 10:14, 28; 11:8; Bar 14:14Ne balaba abamu ku bayigirizwa be nga balya tebanaabye mu ngalo. 37:3 nny 5, 8, 9, 13; Luk 11:38Kubanga Abafalisaayo n’Abayudaaya bonna tebaalyanga nga tebasoose kunaaba mu ngalo n’obwegendereza ng’empisa zaabwe bwe zaali. 47:4 Mat 23:25; Luk 11:39Era bwe baddanga eka nga bava mu katale, ekyo kye baasookanga okukola nga tebannaba kukwata ku kyakulya kyonna. Waliwo n’obulombolombo obulala bwe baagobereranga ng’okulongoosa ensuwa zaabwe, n’ebikopo, n’ebbinika n’essowaani, n’ebirala bingi.
57:5 nny 3; Bag 1:14; Bak 2:8Awo Abafalisaayo n’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka ne babuuza Yesu nti, “Lwaki abayigirizwa bo tebagoberera mpisa za bajjajjaffe ez’edda? Kubanga balya nga tebanaabye mu ngalo.”
6Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Bannanfuusi mmwe! Nnabbi Isaaya yaboogerako bulungi ebyobunnabbi bwe yagamba nti,
“ ‘Abantu bano banzisaamu ekitiibwa kya ku mimwa,
naye emitima gyabwe tegindiiko.
77:7 Is 29:13Okusinza kwabwe tekuliimu nsa;
kubanga bayigiriza bulombolombo bwabwe.’
87:8 nny 3Muleka ebiragiro ebiva eri Katonda ne mugoberera obulombolombo bw’abantu.”
97:9 nny 3N’abagamba nate nti, “Munyooma ekiragiro kya Katonda, ne muggumiza obulombolombo bwammwe. 107:10 a Kuv 20:12; Ma 5:16 b Kuv 21:17; Lv 20:9Musa yagamba nti, ‘Kitaawo ne nnyoko obassangamu ekitiibwa.’ Era n’agamba nti, ‘Omuntu yenna ayogera obubi ku kitaawe oba nnyina anattibwanga.’ 117:11 Mat 23:16, 18Naye mmwe mugamba nti kituufu omuntu okulagajjalira bakadde be nga bali mu kwetaaga n’abagamba bugambi nti, ‘Mmunsonyiwe, kubanga kye nandibawadde ye Korubaani7:11 Korubaani kitegeeza ekintu ekyawuddwako okuweebwa Katonda. Korubaani kyakozesebwanga mu mateeka ga Musa okukubiriza abaana okufaayo ku bazadde baabwe, ate n’abayigiriza b’amateeka baakozesanga ekirayiro kya Korubaani okufuga abagoberezi baabwe.’ ” 12“Omuntu temumukkiriza kubeerako ky’akolera kitaawe oba nnyina. 137:13 a Beb 4:12 b nny 3Bwe mutyo munyooma ekigambo kya Katonda mulyoke mutuukirize obulombolombo bwammwe bwe mwaweebwa. N’ebirala bingi ebiri ng’ebyo bye mukola.”
Ebyonoona Omuntu
14Awo Yesu n’ayita ekibiina ky’abantu n’abagamba nti, “Mmwe mwenna, mumpulirize, era mutegeere. 15Ebintu ebiyingira mu muntu si bye byonoona empisa ze, wabula ebyo ebiva mu mutima gwe bye bizoonoona. 16(Omuntu alina amatu agawulira awulirize.)”
177:17 Mak 9:28Yesu n’aviira ekibiina n’ayingira mu nnyumba, abayigirizwa be ne bamubuuza amakulu g’ebigambo bye yayogera. 18N’abaddamu nti, “Nammwe temutegedde? Temutegeera nti buli kintu ekiyingira mu muntu si kye kimwonoona? 197:19 a Bar 14:1-12; Bak 2:16; 1Ti 4:3-5 b Bik 10:15Olw’okuba nga tekiyingira mu mutima gwe naye kiyingira mu lubuto lwe ne kiryoka kigenda mu kabuyonjo.” Mu kwogera atyo Yesu yakakasa nga buli kyakulya bwe kiri ekirongoofu.
20Era n’ayongerako na bino nti, “Ebirowoozo by’omuntu bye bimwonoona. 21Kubanga mu mutima gw’omuntu mwe muva ebirowoozo ebibi eby’obukaba, n’obubbi, n’obutemu, n’obwenzi, 227:22 Mat 20:15n’okwegomba, n’omutima omubi, n’obukuusa, n’obumenyi bw’amateeka, n’obuggya, n’okusekeeterera, n’obusirusiru. 23Ebibi bino byonna biva munda mu muntu ne bimwonoona.”
Okukkiriza kw’Omukazi Omusulofoyiniiki
247:24 Mat 11:21Awo Yesu n’alaga mu bitundu by’e Ttuulo, n’atayagala kitegeerekeke nti ali mu bitundu ebyo, naye ne kitasoboka. 257:25 Mat 4:24Omukazi eyalina muwala we ng’aliko omwoyo omubi, olwawulira nga Yesu yaakatuuka, n’ajja eri Yesu, n’agwa ku bigere bye. 26Omukazi teyali Muyudaaya, yali Musulofoyiniiki, n’amwegayirira agobe dayimooni ku mwana we.
27Yesu n’agamba omukazi nti, “Omwana asaana asoke akkute, kubanga tekiba kituufu okuddira emmere y’omwana okugisuulira embwa.”
28Naye omukazi n’amuddamu nti, “Ekyo bwe kiri, ssebo, naye era n’embwa ezibeera wansi mu mmeeza, ziweebwa ku bukunkumuka obuva ku ssowaani z’abaana.”
29Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Olw’ekigambo ekyo, weddireyo eka, kubanga dayimooni avudde ku muwala wo.”
30Omukazi bwe yaddayo eka yasanga muwala we agalamidde awo ku kitanda, nga muteefu era nga dayimooni amuvuddeko.
317:31 a nny 24; Mat 11:21 b Mat 4:18 c Mat 4:25; Mak 5:20Yesu bwe yava mu Ttuulo n’agenda e Sidoni, eyo gye yava n’addayo ku nnyanja ey’e Ggaliraaya ng’ayitira mu “Bibuga Ekkumi” (Dekapoli). 327:32 a Mat 9:32; Luk 11:14 b Mak 5:23Awo ne bamuleetera omusajja omuggavu w’amatu ate nga tayogera, abantu bonna ne beegayirira Yesu amusseeko emikono gye amuwonye.
337:33 Mak 8:23Yesu n’aggya omusajja mu bantu n’amulaza wabbali, n’assa engalo ze mu matu g’omusajja; n’awanda amalusu, n’agasiiga n’olunwe lwe ku lulimi lw’omusajja. 347:34 a Mak 6:41; Yk 11:41 b Mak 8:12Awo Yesu n’atunula waggulu n’assa ekikkowe, n’alyoka alagira omusajja nti, “Efasa!” ekitegeeza nti, “Gguka.” 357:35 Is 35:5, 6Amangwago amatu g’omusajja ne gagguka n’awulira buli kintu era n’ayogera bulungi!
367:36 Mat 8:4Yesu n’akuutira ekibiina baleme kutegeezaako balala ku bigambo ebyo okubisaasaanya, naye bo ne beeyongera okutegeeza. 37Kye yakola kyali kibayitiriddeko. Ne boogera nga batenda Yesu nti, “Buli ky’akola kya kyewuunyo, aggula n’amatu ga bakiggala n’ayogeza ne bakasiru!”
That which defiles
1The Pharisees and some of the teachers of the law who had come from Jerusalem gathered round Jesus 2and saw some of his disciples eating food with hands that were defiled, that is, unwashed. 3(The Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they give their hands a ceremonial washing, holding to the tradition of the elders. 4When they come from the market-place they do not eat unless they wash. And they observe many other traditions, such as the washing of cups, pitchers and kettles.7:4 Some early manuscripts pitchers, kettles and dining couches)
5So the Pharisees and teachers of the law asked Jesus, ‘Why don’t your disciples live according to the tradition of the elders instead of eating their food with defiled hands?’
6He replied, ‘Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written:
‘ “These people honour me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from me.
7They worship me in vain;
their teachings are merely human rules.”7:7 Isaiah 29:13
8You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions.’
9And he continued, ‘You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe7:9 Some manuscripts set up your own traditions! 10For Moses said, “Honour your father and mother,”7:10 Exodus 20:12; Deut. 5:16 and, “Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.”7:10 Exodus 21:17; Lev. 20:9 11But you say that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is Corban (that is, devoted to God) – 12then you no longer let them do anything for their father or mother. 13Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like that.’
14Again Jesus called the crowd to him and said, ‘Listen to me, everyone, and understand this. 15Nothing outside a person can defile them by going into them. Rather, it is what comes out of a person that defiles them.’ 167:16 Some manuscripts include here the words of 4:23.
17After he had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about this parable. 18‘Are you so dull?’ he asked. ‘Don’t you see that nothing that enters a person from the outside can defile them? 19For it doesn’t go into their heart but into their stomach, and then out of the body.’ (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean.)
20He went on: ‘What comes out of a person is what defiles them. 21For it is from within, out of a person’s heart, that evil thoughts come – sexual immorality, theft, murder, 22adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. 23All these evils come from inside and defile a person.’
Jesus honours a Syro-Phoenician woman’s faith
24Jesus left that place and went to the vicinity of Tyre.7:24 Many early manuscripts Tyre and Sidon He entered a house and did not want anyone to know it; yet he could not keep his presence secret. 25In fact, as soon as she heard about him, a woman whose little daughter was possessed by an impure spirit came and fell at his feet. 26The woman was a Greek, born in Syrian Phoenicia. She begged Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter.
27‘First let the children eat all they want,’ he told her, ‘for it is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.’
28‘Lord,’ she replied, ‘even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.’
29Then he told her, ‘For such a reply, you may go; the demon has left your daughter.’
30She went home and found her child lying on the bed, and the demon gone.
Jesus heals a deaf and mute man
31Then Jesus left the vicinity of Tyre and went through Sidon, down to the Sea of Galilee and into the region of the Decapolis.7:31 That is, the Ten Cities 32There some people brought to him a man who was deaf and could hardly talk, and they begged Jesus to place his hand on him.
33After he took him aside, away from the crowd, Jesus put his fingers into the man’s ears. Then he spat and touched the man’s tongue. 34He looked up to heaven and with a deep sigh said to him, ‘Ephphatha!’ (which means ‘Be opened!’). 35At this, the man’s ears were opened, his tongue was loosed and he began to speak plainly.
36Jesus commanded them not to tell anyone. But the more he did so, the more they kept talking about it. 37People were overwhelmed with amazement. ‘He has done everything well,’ they said. ‘He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.’
