Matthew 15
1 Then the scribes and Pharisees from Jerusalem approached Jesus saying:
Cawh Jerusalem khaw awhkawng Farasi khqi ingkaw anaa awi cawngpyikung khqi thlang vang ce Jesu a venna law unawh doet uhy,
2 “Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands whenever they eat bread.”
kawtih na hubatkhqi ing a hqamcakhqik awi qoe ce ami hqe? Buh ami ai law hly awh ami kut khaw am sil uhy!, tina uhy.
3 So in answer He said to them: “Why do you even transgress the commandment of God through your tradition?
Jesu ing a mingmih a venawh, “Cawhtaw kawtih nangmih ing na mimah ak awi qoe ingkaw Khawsa ak awipeek ce nami hqe lawt?
4 For God commanded saying, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and ‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’
Khawsa ak awipeek ingtaw, na nu ingkaw na pa zoeksang lah, anu apa awih che ak hlah sih taw thih sak aham awm hy, tinawh ak kqawn ce.
5 But you say: ‘Whoever says to his father or mother, “Whatever you might be profited by me is a gift to God”—
Cehlai nangmih ingtaw thlang ing anu apa venawh, 'kai a ven awhkawng na ngaih ik-oeih boeih boeih ce Khawsa venawh awm hawh hy,' a tinaak mantaw,
6 then he must not honor his father or mother.’ Thus you have nullified the commandment of God through your tradition.
'anih ingtaw apa ce a zoeksang aham am awm hy,' ti u hyk ti. Cemyihna na mimah ak awi qoe ingkaw Khawsak awipeek ce kawna awm ap poek uhyk ti.
7 Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you saying:
Nangmih thlang qaai kqawnkhqi! Isaiah ing nangmih akawng anak kqawn hyt:
8 ‘These people draw near to Me with their mouth and honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far away from Me.
”Ve ak thlangkhqi ing a mim kha hqawng ingtaw kai ve ni zoeksang kaa hlai uhy, amik kawlungkhqi taw ak chang na ta uhy;
9 But in vain do they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’”
A hoeina ni kai ve ami ni beek hy; ami cawngpyinaak ce awm thlanghqing a cawngpyinaak mai ni, a tive thym hy,” tina hy.
10 Then summoning the crowd He said to them: “Hear and understand.
Jesu ing thlang kqeng ce a venna khy nawh, “Ngai unawh zasim lah uh.
11 Not what goes into the mouth defiles the man, but what comes out of the mouth—this defiles the man.”
Nim khak khuiawh anuk lut awk-ai ing thlang tuih am awm sak nawh, nim khak khui awhkawng ak cawn law awih che ing ni thlang tuih a awm sak,” tinak khqi hy.
12 Then His disciples came and said to Him, “Do you know that upon hearing this saying the Pharisees were offended?”
Cekcoengawh a hubatkhqi ce a venna law unawh doet uhy, “Farasikhqi ing ve ak awi ve aming zaak awh amik kaw am law hy, tice nak sim nu?” tina uhy.
13 But in answer He said: “Every plant that my heavenly Father did not plant will be uprooted.
Cehlai anih ing, “Khawk khan nakaw Pa ing a mang ling thingkungkhqi boeih taw ak kqa mah na phu kaw.
14 Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind; and if the blind guides the blind, both will fall into a ditch.”
Awm taak dym uh; sawikung mikhypkhqi ni. Mikhyp ing mikhyp a sawi mantaw, lawkkhqawng na tla qen kawm nih,” tina hy.
15 Then Peter answered and said to Him, “Explain this parable to us.”
Piter ing a venawh, “Vawhkaw nyhtahnaak awi ve kaimih a venawh kqawn caih lah,” tina uhy.
16 So Jesus said: “Are you also still without understanding?
Jesu ing, “Nangmih ingawm am nami zasim nawh nu?
17 Do you not yet understand that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is expelled into the sewer?
Nim khak khuiawh a nuk lut boeih boeih taw phoen ak khuina cet nawh cawh kawng ce naat na cawn hy, tice am nami sim nawh nu?
18 But the things coming out of the mouth actually come from the heart; those are the things that defile the man.
Cehlai nim kha awhkawng ahak cawn law boeih taw kawlung khui awhkawng ni a law, cekkhqi ing ce thlang tyih am leh kap sak uhy.
19 Because out of the heart proceed malignant thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.
Kawlung khui awhkawng ni kawpoek amak leekkhqi, thlang himnaak, samphaihnaak, nu pa thawlhnaak, quuknaak, amak thym dyihthing na dyihnaak, Khawsa thekhanaak khqi ce a law hy.
20 These are the things that defile the man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man.”
Ve myihkhqi ing thlang tuih am leh kap sak hy; cehlai kut silh kaana buh ainaak ing thlang tuih am leh am kap sak hy,” tina hy.
21 Going out from there Jesus withdrew into the region of Tyre and Sidon.
Ce hyn awhkawng Jesu taw Tura ingkaw Sidon khaw khqang ce cet hy.
22 And then, a Canaanite woman coming from those parts cried out to Him saying: “Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demonized.”
Cawh, Kanaan nu pynoet taw a qam khui awhkawng law nawh, a venawh, “Bawipa, David Capa, kai ve nim qeen lah! Ka canu qaai ing tu nawh khuikha soeih hy,” tina hy.
23 But He answered her not a word. So His disciples came and urged Him saying, “Send her away, because she is crying out after us.”
Cehlai awi khang oet awm am hlat pehy. Cedawngawh a hubatkhqi ce a venna law unawh, “Ak chang na ceh sak hlah, ni hu awh khy khing hy,” tina uhy.
24 But in answer He said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
Jesu ing, “Isarel tuu ak qengkhqi aham doeng nani ani tyih,” tina hy.
25 So she came and worshiped Him saying, “Lord, help me!”
Cawh nu ce law nawh, “a haiawh khuk sym doena, “Bawipa ni bawm lah!” tina hy.
26 But in answer He said, “It is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs.”
Anih ing, “Cakhqi phaihpi ce lawh pe nawh uikhqi ni peek lat ce am thym hy,” tina hy.
27 So she said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters' table.”
Cawhkaw nu ing, “Oeih, Bawipa, thym hy, cehlai ui ingawm a boeikhqi a caboei awhkaw buh baw ak tlakhqi ce lym lawt saw, tina uhy.
28 Then Jesus answered and said to her: “O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.
Cawh Jesu ing a venawh, “Nang nu nak cangnaak dung soeih hy! Na thoehnaak ce peek na awm hawh hy,” tina hy. Cawhkawng a canu ce qoei tlang hy.
29 Moving on from there, Jesus went alongside the Sea of Galilee, and going up on the mountain He sat down there.
Ce a hyn ce Jesu ing cehta nawh Kalili tuili benna cet hy. Cekcoengawh tlang na ce kaai nawh ngawi hy.
30 And large crowds approached Him, having with them lame, blind, mute, maimed and many others, and they placed them at Jesus' feet, and He healed them.
Cawh thlang kqeng khawzah ce a venna law uhy, khawk khem, mikhyp, awimyh, ak khawnkhqi ingkaw thlak tlokhqi ce a khawkung awh soei pe unawh; anih ing cekkhqi boeih ce qoei sak hy.
31 So the crowds marveled—seeing mutes speaking, maimed made whole, lame walking, and blind seeing—and they kept glorifying the God of Israel.
Awimyh ing pau thai nawh ak khawnkhqi ing leek hy, khaw ak khemkhqi ingawm cet thai unawh mikhypkhqi ing hu thai uhy; ce mihkhqi ce thlang boeih ing ami huh awh amik kawpoek kyi unawh, Isarel Khawsa ce kyihcah uhy.
32 Then Jesus summoned His disciples and said: “I have compassion on the crowd, because they have already remained with me three days, and have nothing to eat; and I do not want to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way.”
Cekcoengawh Jesu ing a hubatkhqi ce a venna khy nawh, “Vawhkaw thlang kqeng ve qeen khqi soeih nyng, vekkhqi ve ka venawh ikaw awm a ai kaana khaw thum voei awm hawh uhy. Buh cawih doena ceh sak aham am ngaih nyng, ka ceh sak man lam lak awh lum hau kawm uh,” tina hy.
33 So His disciples say to Him, “Where could we get, in an uninhabited place, enough bread so as to satisfy such a great crowd?”
A hubatkhqi ing a venawh, “Thlang ve zah a ai tat phaihpi ce ve kqawng khuiawh hana kaw ka mi huh kaw?” tina uhy.
34 Jesus says to them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven, and a few small fish.”
Jesu ing a mingmih a venawh, “Phaihpi izah nu nami taak?” tinak khqi hy. A mingmih ing, “Phaihpi khqih ingkaw nga a khoeh ca taw awm hy,” tina uhy.
35 So He commanded the crowds to recline on the ground.
Thlang kqeng ce dek awh ngawih sak aham kqawn pehy.
36 And taking the seven loaves and the fish, He gave thanks, broke and gave to His disciples, and the disciples to the crowd.
Phaihpi khqih ingkaw nga ce lo nawh zeelnaak awi ak kqawn coengawh thek nawh a hubatkhqi ce pehy. A hubatkhqi ing thlang kqeng a venawh tei pek khqi uhy.
37 So they all ate and were filled; and they took up seven hampers full of the fragments that remained.
A mingmih ing ak phyi na ai boeih uhy. Ami ai ngenkhqi ce a hubatkhqi ing ami cawi awh vawh khqih na kawi uhy.
38 Now those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.
Cawhkaw ak aikhqi boeih taw naasenkhqi ingkaw nukhqi ak kqawn kaana thlang thawngli law uhy.
39 And having dismissed the crowds He got into the boat and went to the region of Magdala.
Thlang kqeng ce a ceh sak coengawh, lawng khuina lut nawh Magadan khaw benna ce cet hy.
