Matthai 15
1 Te phoeiah Pharisee rhoek neh cadaek rhoek tah Jerusalem lamloh Jesuh te a paan uh tih,
Then some Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem. They said,
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 violate the traditions of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat.”
3 Tedae amih te a doo tih, “Namamih kah singyoe kongah Pathen kah olpaek te balae tih na aek uh van?
He answered and said to them, “Then why do you violate the commandment of God for the sake of your traditions?
4 Pathen loh, ‘Na nu neh na pa te hinyah lah. Tedae manu napa aka thet tah dueknah neh duek saeh,’ a ti.
For God said, 'Honor your father and your mother,' and 'He who speaks evil of his father or mother, will surely die.'
5 Tedae nangmih loh, 'Hoeikhang vaengah tah, 'Manu napa khaw, te te kamah lamkah hmueih ni,’ a ti coeng atah,
But you say, 'Whoever says to his father or mother “Whatever help you would have received from me is now a gift given to God,”'
6 A napa a hinyah pawt moenih,” na ti uh. Te dongah Pathen kah ol te namamih kah singyoe neh na hmil uh.
that person does not need to honor his father. In this way you have made void the word of God for the sake of your traditions.
7 Hlangthai palat rhoek, Isaiah loh nangmih kawng te phek a phong tih,
You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you when he said,
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.
They worship me in vain, because they teach as their doctrines the commandments of people.'”
10 Te phoeiah hlangping te a khue tih, “Hnatun lamtah hmuhming uh lah.
Then he called the crowd to himself and 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.
Nothing that enters into the mouth defiles a person. Instead, what comes out of the mouth, this is what defiles a person.”
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 the disciples came and said to Jesus, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this statement?”
13 Tedae amah loh a doo tih, “A pa loh a ling mueh thingling boeih te vaan loh a phuk ni.
Jesus answered and said, “Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be rooted up.
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.
Let them alone, they are blind guides. If a blind person guides another blind person, both will fall into a pit.”
15 Peter loh a doo tih, “Kekah nuettahnah he kaimih ham thuicaih lah,” a ti nah.
Peter responded and said to Jesus, “Explain this parable to us.”
16 Tedae Jesuh loh, “Nangmih khaw lungmong kotalh la na om uh pueng a?
Jesus said, “Are you also still 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 see that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the stomach and is then passed out into the latrine?
18 Tedae ka lamkah aka thoeng tah thinko lamkah ha thoeng dongah hlang a poeih.
But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart. They are the things that defile a person.
19 Poeknah a thae, ngawnnah, samphaihnah, Cukhalnah, huencannah, a honghi neh soehsalnah he thinko lamkah ni ha thoeng.
For from the heart proceed evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, and slander.
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 person. But to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a person.”
21 Te lamloh a caeh phoeiah Jesuh tah Tyre neh Sidon pingpang la khoe uh.
Then Jesus went away from there and withdrew toward the regions of the cities 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.
Behold, a Canaanite woman came out from that region. She shouted out and said, “Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed.”
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.
But Jesus answered her not a word. His disciples came and begged him, saying, “Send her away, for she is shouting after us.”
24 Tedae Jesuh loh a doo tih, “Israel imkhui kah tu aka poci ham pawt koinih n'tueih mahpawh,” a ti nah.
But Jesus answered and said, “I was not sent to anyone except to the lost sheep of 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 came and bowed down before 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.
He answered and said, “It is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the little 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.
She said, “Yes, Lord, but even the little dogs eat some of the crumbs that fall from their masters' tables.”
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 answered and said to her, “Woman, great is your faith; let it be done for you just as you wish.” At that hour her daughter was healed.
29 Te lamloh a thoeih vaengah Jesuh tah Galilee tuili la pawk. Te phoeiah tlang la luei tih pahoi ngol.
Jesus left that place and went near to the Sea of Galilee. Then he went up a hill and sat 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.
Large crowds came to him. They brought with them lame, blind, mute, and crippled people, and many others who were sick. They presented them at Jesus' feet, and he healed 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 the crowd marveled when they saw the mute persons speak, the crippled made well, the lame walking, and the blind seeing. They praised 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.
Jesus called his disciples to him and said, “I have compassion on the crowd, because they have stayed with me for three days already and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away without eating, or they may faint on 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.
The disciples said to him, “Where can we get enough loaves of bread in such a deserted place to satisfy so large a crowd?”
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.
Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven, and a few small fish.”
35 Te phoeiah hlangping te lai ah ngol hamla ol a uen tih,
Then Jesus commanded the crowd to sit down on 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.
He took the seven loaves and the fish, and after giving thanks, he broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples. The disciples gave them to the crowd.
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.
The people all ate and were satisfied. Then they gathered up seven baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over.
38 Aka ca rhoek tah huta neh camoe tae kolla tongpa thawngli lo uh.
Those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.
39 Hlangping te a tueih phoeiah lawng khuila kun tih Magadan vaang la pawk.
Then Jesus sent the crowds away and got into the boat and went into the region of Magadan.
