20170207 Gospel Mk 7:1-13

When the Pharisees with some scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus, they observed that some of his disciples ate their meals with unclean, that is, unwashed, hands. (For the Pharisees and, in fact, all Jews, do not eat without carefully washing their hands, keeping the tradition of the elders. And on coming from the marketplace they do not eat without purifying themselves. And there are many other things that they have traditionally observed, the purification of cups and jugs and kettles and beds.) So the Pharisees and scribes questioned him, "Why do your disciples not follow the tradition of the elders but instead eat a meal with unclean hands?" He responded, "Well did Isaiah prophesy about you hypocrites, as it is written:

This people honors me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me; in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines human precepts.

You disregard God's commandment but cling to human tradition." He went on to say, "How well you have set aside the commandment of God in order to uphold your tradition! For Moses said, Honor your father and your mother, and Whoever curses father or mother shall die. Yet you say, 'If someone says to father or mother, "Any support you might have had from me is qorban"' (meaning, dedicated to God), you allow him to do nothing more for his father or mother. You nullify the word of God in favor of your tradition that you have handed on.And you do many such things."

Pamalandong:

Malimpiyo karajaw an mga Pharisee adeser sila mokaon – limpiyo karajaw an ila mga alima hilabina kon gikan sila sa merkado, kay tradisyon man kuno ini nan ila mga katiguyangan, segun sa balaod nan mga Jew.

Amo na nangutana ang mga scribe kan Jesus  kon uno man na moderetso man lamang pagpangaon an disciples Nija na waya’y hugas-hugas nan ila mga alima, na waya sila mosunod sa tradisyon nan mga elder, adeser sila mokaon.

Oo, malimpiyo an ila mga panggawas na parte nan ila lawas pero an ila mga kasing-kasing may mga kaligot-got batok sanan may mga mayaot sila na huna-huna sa ila isigkatawo.

Ugsa na tag-lang’an ni Jesus an mga tawo na tag-sun’dan nila an mga makatawo na tradisyon pero hingkalim’tan nila an tinood na mga balaod ni God, parehas pananglitan nan pag-honor sa ato mga ginikanan na isa sa mga importante na sugo Nija para dato.
