Matthew 15
1 Then the scribes and Pharisees from Jerusalem come up to Jesus, saying,
Te phoeiah Pharisee rhoek neh cadaek rhoek tah Jerusalem lamloh Jesuh te a paan uh tih,
2 Why do thy disciples transgress what has been delivered by the ancients? for they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.
“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.
3 But he answering said to them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God on account of your traditional teaching?
Tedae amih te a doo tih, “Namamih kah singyoe kongah Pathen kah olpaek te balae tih na aek uh van?
4 For God commanded saying, Honour father and mother; and, He that speaks ill of father or mother, let him die the death.
Pathen loh, ‘Na nu neh na pa te hinyah lah. Tedae manu napa aka thet tah dueknah neh duek saeh,’ a ti.
5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or mother, It is a gift, whatsoever [it be] by which [received] from me thou wouldest be profited:
Tedae nangmih loh, 'Hoeikhang vaengah tah, 'Manu napa khaw, te te kamah lamkah hmueih ni,’ a ti coeng atah,
6 and he shall in no wise honour his father or his mother; and ye have made void the commandment of God on account of your traditional teaching.
A napa a hinyah pawt moenih,” na ti uh. Te dongah Pathen kah ol te namamih kah singyoe neh na hmil uh.
7 Hypocrites! well has Esaias prophesied about you, saying,
Hlangthai palat rhoek, Isaiah loh nangmih kawng te phek a phong tih,
8 This people honour me with the lips, but their heart is far away from me;
Pilnam long he a hmui neh kan n'hinyah uh. Tedae a thinko tah kai lamloh voelh hla coeng.
9 but in vain do they worship me, teaching [as] teachings commandments of men.
A poeyoek la kai m'bawk uh tih hlang kah olpaek lamkah thuituennah neh a thuituen uh,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
10 And having called to [him] the crowd, he said to them, Hear and understand:
Te phoeiah hlangping te a khue tih, “Hnatun lamtah hmuhming uh lah.
11 Not what enters into the mouth defiles the man; but what goes forth out of the mouth, this defiles the man.
Ka khuila aka kun loh hlang a poeih moenih. Tedae ka lamkah aka thoeng loh hlang a poeih,” a ti nah.
12 Then his disciples, coming up, said to him, Dost thou know that the Pharisees, having heard this word, have been offended?
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.
13 But he answering said, Every plant which my heavenly Father has not planted shall be rooted up.
Tedae amah loh a doo tih, “A pa loh a ling mueh thingling boeih te vaan loh a phuk ni.
14 Leave them alone; they are blind leaders of blind: but if blind lead blind, both will fall into a ditch.
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.
15 And Peter answering said to him, Expound to us this parable.
Peter loh a doo tih, “Kekah nuettahnah he kaimih ham thuicaih lah,” a ti nah.
16 But he said, Are ye also still without intelligence?
Tedae Jesuh loh, “Nangmih khaw lungmong kotalh la na om uh pueng a?
17 Do ye not yet apprehend, that everything that enters into the mouth finds its way into the belly, and is cast forth into the draught?
Ka khuila aka kun boeih te bungpuei la cet tih naat la a pha te na yakming uh pawt nim?
18 but the things which go forth out of the mouth come out of the heart, and those defile man.
Tedae ka lamkah aka thoeng tah thinko lamkah ha thoeng dongah hlang a poeih.
19 For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witnessings, blasphemies;
Poeknah a thae, ngawnnah, samphaihnah, Cukhalnah, huencannah, a honghi neh soehsalnah he thinko lamkah ni ha thoeng.
20 these are the things which defile man; but the eating with unwashen hands does not defile man.
Hekah rhoek long ni hlang a poeih. Tedae kut muen a la aka ca loh hlang a poeih moenih,” a ti nah.
21 And Jesus, going forth from thence, went away into the parts of Tyre and Sidon;
Te lamloh a caeh phoeiah Jesuh tah Tyre neh Sidon pingpang la khoe uh.
22 and lo, a Canaanitish woman, coming out from those borders, cried [to him] saying, Have pity on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is miserably possessed by a demon.
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.
23 But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came to [him] and asked him, saying, Dismiss her, for she cries after us.
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.
24 But he answering said, I have not been sent save to the lost sheep of Israel's house.
Tedae Jesuh loh a doo tih, “Israel imkhui kah tu aka poci ham pawt koinih n'tueih mahpawh,” a ti nah.
25 But she came and did him homage, saying, Lord, help me.
Huta te ha pawk vaengah anih te a bawk tih, “Boeipa, kai m'bom dae,” a ti nah.
26 But he answering said, It is not well to take the bread of the children and cast it to the dogs.
Tedae a doo vaengah tah, “Ca kah buh te rhawt tih ui ham a tloeng tah a then moenih,” a ti nah.
27 But she said, Yea, Lord; for even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from the table of their masters.
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.
28 Then Jesus answering said to her, O woman, thy faith [is] great. Be it to thee as thou desirest. And her daughter was healed from that hour.
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.
29 And Jesus, going away from thence, came towards the sea of Galilee, and he went up into the mountain and sat down there;
Te lamloh a thoeih vaengah Jesuh tah Galilee tuili la pawk. Te phoeiah tlang la luei tih pahoi ngol.
30 and great crowds came to him, having with them lame, blind, dumb, crippled, and many others, and they cast them at his feet, and he healed them:
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.
31 so that the crowds wondered, seeing dumb speaking, crippled sound, lame walking, and blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.
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.
32 But Jesus, having called his disciples to [him], said, I have compassion on the crowd, because they have stayed with me already three days and they have not anything they can eat, and I would not send them away fasting lest they should faint on the way.
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.
33 And his disciples say to him, Whence should we have so many loaves in [the] wilderness as to satisfy so great a crowd?
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.
34 And Jesus says to them, How many loaves have ye? But they said, Seven, and a few small fishes.
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.
35 And he commanded the crowds to lie down on the ground;
Te phoeiah hlangping te lai ah ngol hamla ol a uen tih,
36 and having taken the seven loaves and the fishes, having given thanks, he broke [them] and gave [them] to his disciples, and the disciples to the crowd.
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.
37 And all ate and were filled; and they took up what was over and above of the fragments seven baskets full;
Hlang boeih loh a caak uh tih hah uh. Te phoeiah a coih a nueipil te voh parhih a bae la a phueih uh.
38 but they that ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.
Aka ca rhoek tah huta neh camoe tae kolla tongpa thawngli lo uh.
39 And, having dismissed the crowds, he went on board ship and came to the borders of Magadan.
Hlangping te a tueih phoeiah lawng khuila kun tih Magadan vaang la pawk.
