Et conveniunt ad eum pharisæi, et quidam de scribis, venientes ab Jerosolymis.

Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes, who had come from Jerusalem, gathered round him;

And there assembled together unto him the Pharisees and some of the scribes, coming from Jerusalem.

Et cum vidissent quosdam ex discipulis ejus communibus manibus, id est non lotis, manducare panes, vituperaverunt.

and these found fault, because they saw that some of his disciples sat down to eat with their hands defiled, that is, unwashed.

And when they had seen some of his disciples eat bread with common, that is, with unwashed hands, they found fault.

Pharisæi enim, et omnes Judæi, nisi crebro laverint manus, non manducant, tenentes traditionem seniorum:

For the Pharisees, and indeed all the Jews, holding to the tradition of their ancestors, never eat without washing their hands again and again;

For the Pharisees, and all the Jews eat not without often washing their hands, holding the tradition of the ancients:

et a foro nisi baptizentur, non comedunt: et alia multa sunt, quæ tradita sunt illis servare, baptismata calicum, et urceorum, et æramentorum, et lectorum:

they will not sit down to meat, coming from the market, without thorough cleansing; and there are many other customs which they hold to by tradition, purifying of cups and pitchers and pans and beds.

And when they come from the market, unless they be washed, they eat not: and many other things there are that have been delivered to them to observe, the washings of cups and of pots, and of brazen vessels, and of beds.

et interrogabant eum pharisæi et scribæ: Quare discipuli tui non ambulant juxta traditionem seniorum, sed communibus manibus manducant panem?

So the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why do thy disciples eat with defiled hands, instead of following the tradition of our ancestors?

And the Pharisees and scribes asked him: Why do not thy disciples walk according to the tradition of the ancients, but they eat bread with common hands?

At ille respondens, dixit eis: Bene prophetavit Isaias de vobis hypocritis, sicut scriptum est: Populus hic labiis me honorat, cor autem eorum longe est a me:

But he answered, You hypocrites, it was a true prophecy Isaias made of you, writing as he did, This people does me honour with its lips, but its heart is far from me;

But he answering, said to them: Well did Isaias prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

in vanum autem me colunt, docentes doctrinas, et præcepta hominum.

their worship of me is vain, for the doctrines they teach are the commandments of men.

And in vain do they worship me, teaching doctrines and precepts of men.

Relinquentes enim mandatum Dei, tenetis traditionem hominum, baptismata urceorum et calicum: et alia similia his facitis multa.

You leave God’s commandment on one side, and hold to the tradition of man, the purifying of pitchers and cups, and many other like observances.

For leaving the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men, the washings of pots and of cups: and many other things you do like to these.

Et dicebat illis: Bene irritum facitis præceptum Dei, ut traditionem vestram servetis.

And he told them, You have quite defeated God’s commandment, to establish your own tradition instead.

And he said to them: Well do you make void the commandment of God, that you may keep your own tradition.

Moyses enim dixit: Honora patrem tuum, et matrem tuam. Et: Qui maledixerit patri, vel matri, morte moriatur.

Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother, and, He who curses father or mother dies without hope of reprieve.

For Moses said: Honour thy father and thy mother; and He that shall curse father or mother, dying let him die.

Vos autem dicitis: Si dixerit homo patri, aut matri, Corban (quod est donum) quodcumque ex me, tibi profuerit:

But you say, Let a man tell his father or his mother, All the money out of which you might get help from me is now Corban (that is, an offering to God),

But you say: If a man shall say to his father or mother, Corban, (which is a gift,) whatsoever is from me, shall profit thee.

et ultra non dimittitis eum quidquam facere patri suo, aut matri,

and then you will not let him do any more for father or mother.

And further you suffer him not to do any thing for his father or mother,

rescindentes verbum Dei per traditionem vestram, quam tradidistis: et similia hujusmodi multa facitis.

With this and many like observances, you are making God’s law ineffectual through the tradition you have handed down.

Making void the word of God by your own tradition, which you have given forth. And many other such like things you do.

Et advocans iterum turbam, dicebat illis: Audite me omnes, et intelligite.

And he called the multitude to him, and said to them, Listen to me, all of you, and grasp this;

And calling again the multitude unto him, he said to them: Hear ye me all, and understand.

Nihil est extra hominem introiens in eum, quod possit eum coinquinare, sed quæ de homine procedunt illa sunt quæ communicant hominem.

Nothing that finds its way into a man from outside can make him unclean; what makes a man unclean is what comes out of a man.

There is nothing from without a man that entering into him, can defile him. But the things which come from a man, those are they that defile a man.

Si quis habet aures audiendi, audiat.

Listen, you that have ears to hear with.

If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

Et cum introisset in domum a turba, interrogabant eum discipuli ejus parabolam.

When he had gone into the house, away from the multitude, his disciples asked him the meaning of the parable.

And when he was come into the house from the multitude, his disciples asked him the parable.

Et ait illis: Sic et vos imprudentes estis? Non intelligitis quia omne extrinsecus introiens in hominem, non potest eum communicare:

And he said to them, Are you still so slow of wit? Do you not observe that all the uncleanness which goes into a man has no means of defiling him,

And he saith to them: So are you also without knowledge? understand you not that every thing from without, entering into a man cannot defile him:

quia non intrat in cor ejus, sed in ventrum vadit, et in secessum exit, purgans omnes escas?

because it travels, not into his heart, but into the belly, and so finds its way into the sewer? Thus he declared all meat to be clean,

Because it entereth not into his heart, but goeth into his belly, and goeth out into the privy, purging all meats?

Dicebat autem, quoniam quæ de homine exeunt, illa communicant hominem.

and told them that what defiles a man is that which comes out of him.

But he said that the things which come out from a man, they defile a man.

Ab intus enim de corde hominum malæ cogitationes procedunt, adulteria, fornicationes, homicidia,

For it is from within, from the hearts of men, that their wicked designs come, their sins of adultery, fornication, murder,

For from within out of the heart of men proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

furta, avaritiæ, nequitiæ, dolus, impudicitiæ, oculus malus, blasphemia, superbia, stultitia.

theft, covetousness, malice, deceit, lasciviousness, envy, blasphemy, pride and folly.

Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.

Omnia hæc mala ab intus procedunt, et communicant hominem.

All these evils come from within, and it is these which make a man unclean.

All these evil things come from within, and defile a man.

Et inde surgens abiit in fines Tyri et Sidonis: et ingressus domum, neminem voluit scire, et non potuit latere.

After this, Jesus left those parts, and withdrew into the neighbourhood of Tyre and Sidon. There he went into a house, and did not wish anyone to know of it; but he could not go unrecognized,

And rising from thence he went into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon: and entering into a house, he would that no man should know it, and he could not be hid.

Mulier enim statim ut audivit de eo, cujus filia habebat spiritum immundum, intravit, et procidit ad pedes ejus.

for a woman came to hear of it, whose daughter was possessed by an unclean spirit, and she came in and fell at his feet.

For a woman as soon as she heard of him, whose daughter had an unclean spirit, came in and fell down at his feet.

Erat enim mulier gentilis, Syrophœnissa genere. Et rogabat eum ut dæmonium ejiceret de filia ejus.

This woman was a Gentile, a Syrophenician by race, and she begged him to cast the devil out of her daughter.

For the woman was a Gentile, a Syrophenician born. And she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.

Qui dixit illi: Sine prius saturari filios: non est enim bonum sumere panem filiorum, et mittere canibus.

But he said to her, Let the children have their fill first; it is not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.

Who said to her: Suffer first the children to be filled: for it is not good to take the bread of the children, and cast it to the dogs.

At illa respondit, et dixit illi: Utique Domine, nam et catelli comedunt sub mensa de micis puerorum.

She answered him, Ah, yes, Lord; the dogs eat of the crumbs the children leave, underneath the table.

But she answered and said to him: Yea, Lord; for the whelps also eat under the table of the crumbs of the children.

Et ait illi: Propter hunc sermonem vade: exiit dæmonium a filia tua.

And he said to her, In reward for this word of thine, back home with thee; the devil has left thy daughter.

And he said to her: For this saying go thy way, the devil is gone out of thy daughter.

Et cum abiisset domum suam, invenit puellam jacentem supra lectum, et dæmonium exiisse.

And when she came back to her house, she found her daughter lying on the bed, and the devil gone.

And when she was come into her house, she found the girl lying upon the bed, and that the devil was gone out.

Et iterum exiens de finibus Tyri, venit per Sidonem ad mare Galilææ inter medios fines Decapoleos.

Then he set out again from the region of Tyre, and came by way of Sidon to the sea of Galilee, right into the region of Decapolis.

And again going out of the coasts of Tyre, he came by Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the midst the of the coasts of Decapolis.

Et adducunt ei surdum, et mutum, et deprecabantur eum, ut imponat illi manum.

And they brought to him a man who was deaf and dumb, with the prayer that he would lay his hand upon him.

And they bring to him one deaf and dumb; and they besought him that he would lay his hand upon him.

Et apprehendens eum de turba seorsum, misit digitos suos in auriculas ejus: et exspuens, tetigit linguam ejus:

And he took him aside out of the multitude; he put his fingers into his ears, and spat, and touched his tongue;

And taking him from the multitude apart, he put his fingers into his ears, and spitting, he touched his tongue:

et suscipiens in cælum, ingemuit, et ait illi: Ephphetha, quod est, Adaperire.

then he looked up to heaven, and sighed; Ephpheta, he said, (that is, Be opened).

And looking up to heaven, he groaned and said to him: Ephpheta, which is, Be thou opened.

Et statim apertæ sunt aures ejus, et solutum est vinculum linguæ ejus, et loquebatur recte.

Whereupon his ears were opened, and the bond which tied his tongue was loosed, and he talked plainly.

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

Et præcepit illis ne cui dicerent. Quanto autem eis præcipiebat, tanto magis plus prædicabant:

And he laid a strict charge on them, not to speak of it to anyone; but the more he charged them, the more widely they published it,

And he charged them that they should tell no man. But the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal did they publish it.

et eo amplius admirabantur, dicentes: Bene omnia fecit: et surdos fecit audire, et mutos loqui.

and were more than ever astonished; He has done well, they said, in all his doings; he has made the deaf hear, and the dumb speak.

And so much the more did they wonder, saying: He hath done all things well; he hath made both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
