Matthai 15
1 Te phoeiah Pharisee rhoek neh cadaek rhoek tah Jerusalem lamloh Jesuh te a paan uh tih,
Then the scribes and the Pharisees came to him from Jerusalem, saying:
2 “Balae tih na hnukbang rhoek loh a ham rhoek kah singyoe te a aek uh? Buh a caak uh vaengah a kut sil uh pawh,” a ti na uh.
“Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.”
3 Tedae amih te a doo tih, “Namamih kah singyoe kongah Pathen kah olpaek te balae tih na aek uh van?
But responding, he said to them: “And why do you transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? For God said:
4 Pathen loh, ‘Na nu neh na pa te hinyah lah. Tedae manu napa aka thet tah dueknah neh duek saeh,’ a ti.
‘Honor your father and mother,’ and, ‘Whoever will have cursed father or mother shall die a death.’
5 Tedae nangmih loh, 'Hoeikhang vaengah tah, 'Manu napa khaw, te te kamah lamkah hmueih ni,’ a ti coeng atah,
But you say: ‘If anyone will have said to father or mother, “It is dedicated, so that whatever is from me will benefit you,”
6 A napa a hinyah pawt moenih,” na ti uh. Te dongah Pathen kah ol te namamih kah singyoe neh na hmil uh.
then he shall not honor his father or his mother.’ So have you nullified the commandment of God, for the sake of your tradition.
7 Hlangthai palat rhoek, Isaiah loh nangmih kawng te phek a phong tih,
Hypocrites! How well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying:
8 Pilnam long he a hmui neh kan n'hinyah uh. Tedae a thinko tah kai lamloh voelh hla coeng.
‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
9 A poeyoek la kai m'bawk uh tih hlang kah olpaek lamkah thuituennah neh a thuituen uh,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
For in vain do they worship me, teaching the doctrines and commandments of men.’”
10 Te phoeiah hlangping te a khue tih, “Hnatun lamtah hmuhming uh lah.
And having called the multitudes to him, he said to them: “Listen and understand.
11 Ka khuila aka kun loh hlang a poeih moenih. Tedae ka lamkah aka thoeng loh hlang a poeih,” a ti nah.
A man is not defiled by what enters into the mouth, but by what proceeds from the mouth. This is what defiles a man.”
12 Te vaengah hnukbang rhoek loh amah a paan uh tih, “Ol he a yaak vaengah Pharisee rhoek a khah te na ming nama?” a ti nah.
Then his disciples drew near and said to him, “Do you know that the Pharisees, upon hearing this word, were offended?”
13 Tedae amah loh a doo tih, “A pa loh a ling mueh thingling boeih te vaan loh a phuk ni.
But in response he said: “Every plant which has not been planted by my heavenly Father shall be uprooted.
14 Amih te hlah uh, mikdael rhoek tah mikdael rhoek kah longtuengkung ni. Mikdael loh mikdael te longtueng koinih rhom ah bok cungku ni,” a ti nah.
Leave them alone. They are blind, and they lead the blind. But if the blind are in charge of the blind, both will fall into the pit.”
15 Peter loh a doo tih, “Kekah nuettahnah he kaimih ham thuicaih lah,” a ti nah.
And responding, Peter said to him, “Explain this parable to us.”
16 Tedae Jesuh loh, “Nangmih khaw lungmong kotalh la na om uh pueng a?
But he said: “Are you, even now, without understanding?
17 Ka khuila aka kun boeih te bungpuei la cet tih naat la a pha te na yakming uh pawt nim?
Do you not understand that everything that enters into the mouth goes into the gut, and is cast into the sewer?
18 Tedae ka lamkah aka thoeng tah thinko lamkah ha thoeng dongah hlang a poeih.
But what proceeds from the mouth, goes forth from the heart, and those are the things that defile a man.
19 Poeknah a thae, ngawnnah, samphaihnah, Cukhalnah, huencannah, a honghi neh soehsalnah he thinko lamkah ni ha thoeng.
For from the heart go out evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimonies, blasphemies.
20 Hekah rhoek long ni hlang a poeih. Tedae kut muen a la aka ca loh hlang a poeih moenih,” a ti nah.
These are the things that defile a man. But to eat without washing hands does not defile a man.”
21 Te lamloh a caeh phoeiah Jesuh tah Tyre neh Sidon pingpang la khoe uh.
And departing from there, Jesus withdrew into the areas of Tyre and Sidon.
22 Te vaengah te rhoek vaang lamkah Kanaan nu pakcak ha thoeng tih a pang doela, “Kai he n'rhen lah, Boeipa, David capa, ka canu tah rhaithae a kaem khuengrhueng,” a ti nah.
And behold, a woman of Canaan, going out from those parts, cried out, saying to him: “Take pity on me, Lord, Son of David. My daughter is badly afflicted by a demon.”
23 Tedae anih te ol lan pawh. Te dongah a hnukbang rhoek loh a paan uh. Amah te a dawt uh tih, “Anih ke kaimih hnukah pang coeng tih tueih laeh,” a ti uh.
He did not say a word to her. And his disciples, drawing near, petitioned him, saying: “Dismiss her, for she is crying out after us.”
24 Tedae Jesuh loh a doo tih, “Israel imkhui kah tu aka poci ham pawt koinih n'tueih mahpawh,” a ti nah.
And responding, he said, “I was not sent except to the sheep who have fallen away from the house of Israel.”
25 Huta te ha pawk vaengah anih te a bawk tih, “Boeipa, kai m'bom dae,” a ti nah.
But she approached and adored him, saying, “Lord, help me.”
26 Tedae a doo vaengah tah, “Ca kah buh te rhawt tih ui ham a tloeng tah a then moenih,” a ti nah.
And responding, he said, “It is not good to take the bread of the children and cast it to the dogs.”
27 Tedae te long khaw, “Ue ta, Boeipa, ui pataeng a boei rhoek kah caboei lamkah aka bo buhdik te a caak ta,” a ti nah.
But she said, “Yes, Lord, but the young dogs also eat from the crumbs that fall from the table of their masters.”
28 Te vaengah Jesuh loh a doo tih, “Aw huta, nang kah tangnah tah len pai, nang ham tah na ngaih bangla om pai saeh,” a ti nah. Tekah a tue lamloh a canu te hoeih.
Then Jesus, responding, said to her: “O woman, great is your faith. Let it be done for you just as you wish.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.
29 Te lamloh a thoeih vaengah Jesuh tah Galilee tuili la pawk. Te phoeiah tlang la luei tih pahoi ngol.
And when Jesus had passed from there, he arrived beside the sea of Galilee. And ascending onto a mountain, he sat down there.
30 Te vaengah hlangping loh amah te muep a paan uh tih, aka khaem rhoek, mikdael rhoek, aka khawn rhoek, olmueh rhoek neh a tloe boeih te amamih neh a khuen uh. Amih te Jesuh kho kungla pak a voeih uh dongah amih te a hoeih sak.
And great multitudes came to him, having with them the mute, the blind, the lame, the disabled, and many others. And they cast them down at his feet, and he cured them,
31 Olmueh khaw cal, aka khawn khaw a sading, aka khaem khaw cet, mikdael loh a hmuh, te hlangping loh a hmuh vaengah a ngaihmang uh tih, Israel Pathen te a thangpom uh.
so much so that the crowds wondered, seeing the mute speaking, the lame walking, the blind seeing. And they magnified the God of Israel.
32 Jesuh loh a hnukbang rhoek te a khue tih, “Hlangping hamla ka thinphat, kai taengah hnin thum rhaeh uh coeng tih, a caak ham ba khaw khueh uh pawh. Te dongah amih he buhmueh rhathih la tueih ka ngaih pawh. Longpueng ah tawnba uh ve,” a ti nah.
And Jesus, calling together his disciples, said: “I have compassion on the crowds, because they have persevered with me now for three days, and they do not have anything to eat. And I am not willing to dismiss them, fasting, lest they faint along the way.”
33 Tedae amah taengah hnukbang rhoek loh, “Vaidam heyet he kohong ah me lamkah nim mamih ham a om eh? Heyet hlangping a hah ham akhaw,” a ti uh.
And the disciples said to him: “From where, then, in the desert, would we obtain enough bread to satisfy so a great multitude?”
34 Te dongah Jesuh loh amih te, “Vaidam meyet na khueh uh,” a ti nah. Te vaengah, “Vaidam parhih neh ngadik a yool ni,” a ti na uh.
And Jesus said to them, “How many loaves of bread do you have?” But they said, “Seven, and a few little fish.”
35 Te phoeiah hlangping te lai ah ngol hamla ol a uen tih,
And he instructed the crowds to recline upon the ground.
36 Vaidam hluem rhih neh nga te a loh tih, a uem, a aeh tih hnukbang rhoek te a paek tih hnukbang rhoek loh hlangping te a doe.
And taking the seven loaves and the fish, and giving thanks, he broke and gave to his disciples, and the disciples gave to the people.
37 Hlang boeih loh a caak uh tih hah uh. Te phoeiah a coih a nueipil te voh parhih a bae la a phueih uh.
And they all ate and were satisfied. And, from what was left over of the fragments, they took up seven full baskets.
38 Aka ca rhoek tah huta neh camoe tae kolla tongpa thawngli lo uh.
But those who ate were four thousand men, plus children and women.
39 Hlangping te a tueih phoeiah lawng khuila kun tih Magadan vaang la pawk.
And having dismissed the crowd, he climbed into a boat. And he went into the coastal region of Magadan.
