Gospel – Mark 7:31-37

31 Again Jesus left the district of Tyre and went by way of Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, into the district of the Decapolis.

32 And people brought to him a deaf man who had a speech impediment and begged him to lay his hand on him.

33 He took him off by himself away from the crowd. He put his finger into the man’s ears and, spitting, touched his tongue;

34 then he looked up to heaven and groaned, and said to him, “Ephphatha!” – that is, “Be opened!”

35 And immediately the man’s ears were opened, his speech impediment was removed, and he spoke plainly.

36 He ordered them not to tell anyone. But the more he ordered them not to, the more they proclaimed it.

37 They were exceedingly astonished and they said, “He has done all things well. He makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.

³¹ Again Jesus left the district of Tyre and went by way of Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, into the district of the Decapolis. Yesù kǝ mbu nfu ala ala’a Tayà ntì’i nghǝ nǝ nduŋǝ Sidon nku’u nkyì fǝngwaŋǝ fǝfǝ Galìli nti’i nkuu ala ala’a wu ma ǝ bǝ ǝ̀tuŋǝ dzwi nǝghǝmǝ̀.

³² And people brought to him a deaf man who had a speech impediment and begged him to lay his hand on him. Bə yìi nə̀ ŋùtsə̀ a mbwo zhə ma â bika anyù nzu’u kǎ nshi’inə̌ nkə mboŋnə, nti’i mbu’utə̀ mbwo a mbwo zhə ngə a noŋsə abwo zhi a nnu zhə.

³³ He took him off by himself away from the crowd. He put his finger into the man’s ears and, spitting, touched his tongue; Yesù a lǒ ŋù wu tsɛ’ɛ̀ zhǝzhǝ nzɛˀɛtə nə zhə ǝla nəbenə, nnoŋsə nswi-bwo yì atugə̀rə zhǝ nkə twu mǝtwe nŋa ntsù yi nə mu,

³⁴ then he looked up to heaven and groaned, and said to him, “Ephphatha!” – that is, “Be opened!” nti’i nli nǝkàŋǝ̀ nnyurǝ, nswiŋə a mbwo ŋù wwa ngə “ɛfetà!” ma ə bə ngə “Nyɛ’ɛnə!”

³⁶ He ordered them not to tell anyone. But the more he ordered them not to, the more they proclaimed it. Yesù ti’i nkwantǝ wwa ngə bwo kə a mbwo ŋùdàŋə̀ nə swiŋə, la mbə zu ma a kwantə̀ wwa nətènə̀ la, kə mbə mbə̀ zu ma bwo kə lansǝ nkenǝ̀ wu.

³⁷ They were exceedingly astonished and they said, “He has done all things well. He makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.” Ànyù zu lanə nkhə̀’ənə bə bu, bwo ti’i nswiŋə ngə: “À ghə̀rə mə̀nyù mə̀tsə̀mə nshi’inə̌: A ghə̀rə̀ əkwiŋmu’u bwo zu’u nkə nghərə bə tə̀ghà bwo ghâ.”
