Marcos 7
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Ang mga Tradisyon(A)
7 May mga Pariseo at mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan na dumating galing sa Jerusalem at nagtipon sa paligid ni Jesus. 2 Napansin nila na ang ilan sa mga tagasunod ni Jesus ay hindi naghugas ng kamay bago kumain.
3 Ang mga Judio, lalo na ang mga Pariseo ay hindi kumakain nang hindi muna naghuhugas ng kamay bilang pagsunod sa tradisyon ng kanilang mga ninuno. 4 Hindi rin sila kumakain ng anumang nabili sa palengke nang hindi muna nila ginagawa ang ritwal ng paglilinis.[a] Marami pa silang mga tradisyong tulad nito, gaya ng paghuhugas ng mga kopa, pitsel at lutuang tanso.
5 Kaya tinanong siya ng mga Pariseo at ng mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan, “Bakit hindi sinusunod ng mga tagasunod mo ang mga tradisyon ng ating mga ninuno? Hindi sila naghuhugas ng kamay bago kumain!” 6 Sinagot sila ni Jesus, “Tamang-tama ang sinabi ni Isaias tungkol sa inyo na mga pakitang-tao. Ayon sa isinulat niya, sinabi ng Dios na,
‘Iginagalang ako ng mga taong ito sa mga labi lang nila,
ngunit malayo sa akin ang kanilang mga puso.
7 Walang kabuluhan ang kanilang pagsamba sa akin
dahil ang mga itinuturo nila ay mga utos lang ng tao.’[b]
8 Sinusuway ninyo ang utos ng Dios, at ang sinusunod ay mga tradisyon ng tao.”
9 Sinabi pa ni Jesus, “Mahusay kayo sa pagpapawalang-bisa sa mga utos ng Dios para masunod ninyo ang inyong mga tradisyon. 10 Halimbawa na lang, sinabi ni Moises, ‘Igalang ninyo ang inyong mga magulang,’[c] at ‘Ang lumapastangan sa kanyang mga magulang ay dapat patayin.’[d] 11 Pero itinuturo nʼyo naman na kapag sinabi ng isang anak sa mga magulang niya na ang tulong na ibibigay niya sana sa kanila ay Korban (ang ibig sabihin, nakalaan na sa Dios), 12 hindi na siya obligadong tumulong pa sa kanila. 13 Pinapawalang-halaga ninyo ang utos ng Dios sa pamamagitan ng mga tradisyong minana ninyo sa inyong mga ninuno. At marami pa kayong ginagawa na tulad nito.”
Ang Nagpaparumi sa Tao(B)
14 Muling tinawag ni Jesus ang mga tao at sinabi sa kanila, “Makinig kayong lahat sa akin at unawain ang sasabihin ko. 15 Hindi ang pumapasok sa bibig ng tao ang nagpaparumi sa kanya, kundi ang mga lumalabas sa kanya.” 16 [Kayong mga nakikinig, dapat nʼyo itong pag-isipan!]
17 Pagkatapos, iniwan niya ang mga tao at pumasok sa bahay. Nang nasa loob na siya, tinanong siya ng mga tagasunod niya kung ano ang ibig sabihin ng talinghaga na iyon. 18 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Bakit, hindi nʼyo pa rin ba naiintindihan? Hindi nʼyo ba alam na anumang kainin ng tao ay hindi nakakapagparumi sa kanya? 19 Sapagkat anuman ang kainin niya ay hindi naman sa puso pumupunta kundi sa kanyang tiyan, at idudumi rin niya iyon.” (Sa sinabing ito ni Jesus, ipinahayag niya na lahat ng pagkain ay maaaring kainin.) 20 Sinabi pa ni Jesus, “Ang lumalabas sa tao ang nagpaparumi sa kanya sa paningin ng Dios. 21 Sapagkat sa puso ng tao nagmumula ang masamang pag-iisip na nagtutulak sa kanya na gumawa ng sekswal na imoralidad, pagnanakaw, pagpatay, 22 pangangalunya, kasakiman, at paggawa ng lahat ng uri ng kasamaan tulad ng pandaraya, kabastusan, inggitan, paninira sa kapwa, pagyayabang, at kahangalan. 23 Ang lahat ng kasamaang ito ay nanggagaling sa puso ng tao, at siyang nagpaparumi sa kanya.”
Ang Pananampalataya ng Babaeng Hindi Judio(C)
24 Umalis si Jesus mula roon at pumunta sa mga lugar na malapit sa Tyre. Pagdating niya roon, tumuloy siya sa isang bahay. Ayaw sana niyang malaman ng mga tao na naroon siya; pero hindi rin niya ito naitago. 25-26 Sa katunayan, nalaman agad ito ng isang ina na may anak na babaeng sinaniban ng masamang espiritu. Ang babaeng itoʼy taga-Fenicia na sakop ng Syria, at Griego ang kanyang salita. Pinuntahan niya agad si Jesus at nagpatirapa sa paanan nito, at nagmamakaawang palayasin ang masamang espiritu sa kanyang anak. 27 Pero sinagot siya ni Jesus sa pamamagitan ng isang kasabihan, “Dapat munang pakainin ang mga anak, dahil hindi tamang kunin ang pagkain ng mga anak at ihagis sa mga aso.” 28 Sumagot ang babae, “Tama po kayo, Panginoon, pero kahit mga aso sa ilalim ng mesa ay kumakain ng mga mumo na nailalaglag ng mga anak.” 29 Kaya sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Dahil sa sagot mong iyan, maaari ka nang umuwi. Lumabas na sa anak mo ang masamang espiritu.” 30 Umuwi nga ang babae at nadatnan ang anak niya sa higaan, at wala na nga ang masamang espiritu sa kanya.
Pinagaling ni Jesus ang Isang Pipiʼt Bingi
31 Pagbalik ni Jesus mula sa lupain ng Tyre, dumaan siya ng Sidon at umikot sa lupain ng Decapolis, at pagkatapos ay tumuloy sa lawa ng Galilea. 32 Doon, dinala sa kanya ng mga tao ang isang lalaking pipiʼt bingi. Nakiusap sila na ipatong ni Jesus ang mga kamay niya sa lalaki. 33 Inilayo muna ni Jesus ang lalaki sa mga tao. Pagkatapos, ipinasok niya ang kanyang mga daliri sa mga tainga ng lalaki, saka dinuraan ang kanyang mga daliri at hinipo ang dila nito. 34 Tumingala si Jesus sa langit, nagbuntong-hininga, at sinabi sa lalaki, “Effata!” na ang ibig sabihin, “Mabuksan ka!” 35 Pagkatapos nito, nakarinig na ang lalaki at nakapagsalita nang maayos. 36 Pinagbilinan niya ang mga tao na huwag ipamalita ang nangyari. Pero kahit pinagbawalan sila, lalo pa nila itong ipinamalita. 37 Manghang-mangha ang mga tao, at sinabi nila, “Napakagaling[e] ng ginawa niya! Kahit mga pipiʼt bingi ay nagagawa niyang pagalingin!”
Mark 7
King James Version
7 Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem.
2 And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault.
3 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.
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.
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?
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.
7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
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.
9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.
10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:
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.
12 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;
13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
14 And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:
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.
16 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
17 And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.
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;
19 Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?
20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.
21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
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.
25 For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:
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.
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.
28 And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.
29 And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.
30 And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.
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.
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.
33 And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;
34 And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.
35 And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.
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;
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.
Mark 7
English Standard Version
Traditions and Commandments
7 (A)Now when the Pharisees gathered to him, with some of the scribes (B)who had come from Jerusalem, 2 they saw that some of his disciples ate with hands that were (C)defiled, that is, unwashed. 3 (For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands properly,[a] holding to (D)the tradition of (E)the elders, 4 and when they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash.[b] And there are many other traditions that they observe, such as (F)the washing of (G)cups and pots and copper vessels and dining couches.[c]) 5 And the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, “Why do your disciples not walk according to (H)the tradition of (I)the elders, (J)but eat with (K)defiled hands?” 6 And he said to them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you (L)hypocrites, as it is written,
(M)“‘This people honors me with their lips,
but their heart is far from me;
7 in vain do they worship me,
teaching as (N)doctrines the commandments of men.’
8 You leave the commandment of God and hold to the tradition of men.”
9 And he said to them, “You have a fine way of (O)rejecting the commandment of God in order to establish your tradition! 10 For Moses said, (P)‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, (Q)‘Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.’ 11 But you say, ‘If a man tells his father or his mother, “Whatever you would have gained from me is Corban”’ (that is, given to God)[d]— 12 then you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or mother, 13 thus (R)making void the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And many such things you do.”
What Defiles a Person
14 And he called the people to him again and said to them, (S)“Hear me, all of you, and understand: 15 (T)There is nothing outside a person that by going into him can defile him, but the things that come out of a person are what defile him.”[e] 17 And when he had entered (U)the house and left the people, (V)his disciples asked him about the parable. 18 And he said to them, “Then (W)are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile him, 19 since it enters not his heart (X)but his stomach, and is expelled?”[f] ((Y)Thus he declared all foods clean.) 20 And he said, (Z)“What comes out of a person is what defiles him. 21 For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, (AA)murder, adultery, 22 coveting, wickedness, deceit, (AB)sensuality, (AC)envy, (AD)slander, (AE)pride, (AF)foolishness. 23 (AG)All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.”
The Syrophoenician Woman's Faith
24 And from there he arose and went away to the region of Tyre and Sidon.[g] And he entered a house and did not want anyone to know, yet he could not be hidden. 25 But immediately a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit heard of him and came and fell down at his feet. 26 (AH)Now the woman was a (AI)Gentile, (AJ)a Syrophoenician by birth. And she begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter. 27 And he said to her, “Let the children be (AK)fed first, for it is not right to take the children's bread and (AL)throw it to the dogs.” 28 But she answered him, “Yes, Lord; yet even the dogs under the table eat the children's (AM)crumbs.” 29 And he said to her, “For this statement you may (AN)go your way; the demon has left your daughter.” 30 And she went home and found the child lying in bed and the demon gone.
Jesus Heals a Deaf Man
31 (AO)Then he returned from the region of Tyre and went through Sidon to (AP)the Sea of Galilee, in the region of the (AQ)Decapolis. 32 And they brought to him (AR)a man who was deaf and (AS)had a speech impediment, and they begged him to (AT)lay his hand on him. 33 And (AU)taking him aside from the crowd privately, he put his fingers into his ears, and (AV)after spitting touched his tongue. 34 And (AW)looking up to heaven, (AX)he sighed and said to him, “Ephphatha,” that is, “Be opened.” 35 (AY)And his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly. 36 And (AZ)Jesus[h] charged them to tell no one. But (BA)the more he charged them, the more zealously they proclaimed it. 37 And they were (BB)astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well. He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.”
