Here Jesus says that the scribes and Pharisees do something well when he thinks that they are actually doing something wrong. He speaks in this way in order to make a point. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “It is wrong for you reject the commandment of God so that you may keep your tradition” or “you should not reject the commandment of God so that you may keep your tradition”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τὴν ἐντολὴν τοῦ Θεοῦ & τὴν παράδοσιν ὑμῶν
the commandment ¬the ˱of˲_God & the tradition ˱of˲_you_all
If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of commandment and tradition, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: “what God commanded us … what you were taught”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
τὴν ἐντολὴν τοῦ Θεοῦ
the commandment ¬the ˱of˲_God
Here, Jesus is using the possessive form to describe a commandment that came from God. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: “the commandment given by God” or “the commandment we received from God”

τηρήσητε
˱you_all˲_/may/_keep
Many ancient manuscripts read you may keep. The ULT follows that reading. Other ancient manuscripts read “you may establish.” If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT.
7:1-23 This account has no direct connection with what precedes it. It assumes only a context such as “Once in the ministry of Jesus.” After setting the scene (7:1-4), Mark introduces the Pharisees’ question (7:5), followed by Jesus’ response (7:6-23). The first part of Jesus’ response (7:6-13) centers around two Old Testament passages and a twofold attack on the Pharisees’ traditions (7:6-8, 9-13). In the second part (7:14-23), Jesus teaches about what does and does not truly defile.
