Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἀφέντες
/having/_left
Here Jesus speaks as if the commandment of God were a place that the scribes and Pharisees could leave. He means that they have stopped obeying the commandment of God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Having abandoned” or “Having stopped obeying”
Note 2 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”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τὴν ἐντολὴν τοῦ Θεοῦ
the commandment ¬the ˱of˲_God
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of commandment, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “what God commanded us”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
τὴν παράδοσιν τῶν ἀνθρώπων
the the tradition ¬the ˱of˲_humans
Here, Jesus is using the possessive form to describe a tradition that came from men. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: “the tradition handed down by men” or “the tradition you received from men”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τὴν παράδοσιν τῶν ἀνθρώπων
the the tradition ¬the ˱of˲_humans
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of tradition, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “what men teach”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
τῶν ἀνθρώπων
¬the ˱of˲_humans
Although the term men is masculine, Jesus is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: “of people”
Note 7 topic: translate-textvariants
τῶν ἀνθρώπων
¬the ˱of˲_humans
Some ancient manuscripts do not include any words in this verse after the phrase of men. The ULT follows that reading. Other ancient manuscripts add the words “washings of pitchers and cups and many other similar such things you do” after the words of men. 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.

OET (OET-RV) You’ve ignored God’s commands instead accepting human traditions.”
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
