Matthew 15
1 Then the scribes and Pharisees, who are from Jerusalem, come to Jesus, saying,
Acunüng Pharise he avang ja thumksinge Jerusalem üngka naw Jesuh veia law u lü,
2 Wherefore do thy disciples transgress the traditions of the elders? for they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.
“Ise, na xüisawe naw pupa thum am läklamkie ni? Ise ami kut akdawa am mthiei lü ei suxatkie ni?” ti lü ami kthäh.
3 And responding He said to them; Wherefore do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition?
Jesuh naw, “Nangmi pi ivaia nami pupa thum läk u lü Mhnama thum am nami läki ni.
4 For God commanded saying, Honor thy father and mother: and, He that speaketh evil of father or mother, let him die with death.
Isetiüng Mhnam naw, ‘Na nu ja na pa na jah leisawng vai, na nu pi ni se na pa pi ni se na jah yünce üng nang cun na thi khai,’ a ti.
5 But you say, Whosoever may say to father or mother, It is a gift, whatsoever you may be profited by me; and he shall no longer honor his father or his mother.
Acunsepi nangmi naw, Khyang naw a nu ja pa a jah kueinak vaia mkawt a ve üng, ‘Pamhnam üng pet päng ni’ nami tiki.
6 You made void the commandment of God by your tradition.
A nu pa a leisawng vai am hlü. Acukba nangmi cun Pamhnama thum pi käh ngtäh khaia nami thum am nami pawhki.
7 Ye hypocrites, beautifully did Isaiah prophesy concerning you, saying,
Hypocrite aw, Hesajah naw nami mawng a pyen cen cang ve,
8 This people honor me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
‘Hine naw ami mpyawng am na leisawng kyaw u lü pi, ami mlungmthin ta Kei üngka naw thuk ve u.
9 But in vain they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.
Akhawvaa na sawkhah ve u, isetiüng nghngicim thume cun Ka thuma hana jah mthei ve u!’” a ti.
10 And calling the multitude to Him, He said to them, Hear and understand:
Acunüng khyangpäe cun Jesuh naw a veia jah khü lü, “Ngai u lü ksing ua.
11 That if which cometh into the mouth does not defile the man; but that which cometh out from the mouth, that defiles the man.
Khyanga mpyawng üng ju lutki naw khyang am mtüihkhehsak, a k'um üngka naw mpyawnga lut lawki naw ni khyang a mtüihkhehsak ve,” a ti.
12 Then His disciples having come to Him say, Do you not know that the Pharisees hearing your word, were offended?
Acunüng axüisaw he a veia law u lü, “Pharise he naw na ngthupyen ami ngjak üng ami mlung seki ti na ksingki aw?” ami ti.
13 And He responding said, Every plant which my heavenly Father did not plant, shall be rooted up.
Jesuh naw, “Ka pa, khana ka naw am a nglin naküt cun phuka kya khai.”
14 Let them alone: the blind are leaders of the blind: if the blind may lead the blind, both will fall into the ditch.
Käh jah cäi na ua! Ami mik mükie ni. Amikmü naw amikmü lam a msüm üng ani nghngih khuikhawk üng kya khai xawi,” a ti.
15 Peter responding said to Him, Explain unto us the parable.
Pita naw msang lü, “Hina msuimcäpnak jah mtheh ngkhaia,” a ti.
16 And Jesus said, Are you indeed still without understanding?
Jesuh naw, “Tuh vei üng khyang kce hea kthaka am na cing hamki aw.”
17 Do you know that everything entering into the mouth goes into the stomach, and is cast out into excrement?
“Na mpyawng üng ju lutki naküt na khawnua pha lü na mtisa lum üng pha hüki ti am nami ksing hamki aw.”
18 But those things going out from the mouth come forth from the heart; and these pollute the man.
“Acunsepi, mpyawng üngka naw lut lawki naküt cun mlungmthin üngka naw law lü, khyang mtüihkhehsaki ni,” a ti.
19 For out of the heart proceed evil reasonings, murders, fornications, adulteries, thefts, false testimonies, blasphemies.
Isetiüng khyang hnimnak, khyanga khyuca bäühmanak, mpyuknak, hleihlatnak, Pamhnam ksekhanake naküt cun am dawkia ngaihkyunak üngka naw cawm lawkia kyaki.
20 These are the things which defile the man: but to eat bread with unwashed hands does not defile the man.
Ahin he naw ni khyang mtüihkhehsak u lü, kut käh mthiei lü ei naw khyang am mtüihkhehsak,” a ti.
21 And Jesus having come out thence, departed into the regions of Tyre and Sidon.
Jesuh acun üngka naw cit lü Turah ja Sidon mlüh peisua citki.
22 And behold, a Canaanitish woman having come out from those coasts, cried unto Him saying, Have mercy on me, Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is terribly demonized.
Acuna mlüh pipei üng veki Kanan nghnumi naw law lü, “Davita capa Bawipa aw, na mpyeneia, ka ca nghnumica khawyai naw aknuia pawh ve,” a ti.
23 And He responded to her not a word; and His disciples, having come to Him, asked Him, saying, Send her away; because she cries after us.
Cunsepi Jesuh naw mkhap matca am pi am msang be. Axüisawe lawki he naw, “Hina nghnumi hin akcea tüiha, jah läk law lü kpamcai ve,” ami ti.
24 And He responding said, I am not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Kei hin Isarelea khuiimkyawng üngka naw khyükia toea phäh ni Pamhnam naw a na tüih law,” a ti.
25 And having come she continued to worship Him, saying, Lord, assist me.
A veia law lü sawkhahki naw, “Bawipa aw, na mpyena,” a ti.
26 He responding said, It is not good to take the children's bread and cast it to the little dogs.
Jesuh naw, “Hnasenea ei lo lü, uie üng jah xawt pet vai hin nglawiki aw,” a ti.
27 And she said, Yea, Lord: for the little dogs eat of the crumbs falling from their master's table.
Nghnumi naw, “Bawipa aw, acukba lang va. Acunüngpi, uie naw pi ami mahpa buhkbaw mthüpeia thum am veki aw,” a ti.
28 Then Jesus responding said to her, O woman, great is thy faith; let it be done unto thee as thou dost wish. And her daughter was healed from that hour.
Jesuh naw, “Jumeinak dämkia nghnumi aw, na ngjak hlüa thawn se,” a ti. Acun ja a canu cun daw beki.
29 And Jesus having departed thence, came to the Sea of Galilee; and having gone up into the mountain, He was sitting there.
Jesuh acun üngka naw Kalile tuili läkläka citki. Mcunga kai lü ngawki.
30 And many multitudes came to Him, having with them the lame, the blind, the deaf, the maimed, and many others, and laid them down at the feet of Jesus; and He healed them:
Khyangpänue naw akxo, amikmü, ak'ang, am kümkia hmikie ja, amjümjü natnake jah lawpüi u lü Jesuha khaw kunga jah msän u se, a jah mdaw be.
31 so that the multitudes were astonished, seeing the dumb speaking, the maimed whole, the lame walking about, and the blind seeing: and they glorified the God of Israel.
Ak'ange ngthuhei law be thei lü, a kut khaw kbäte daw be u lü, akxoe cit be thei u lü, amikmüe naw hmu law be thei u se, khyang he naw ami jah hmuh üng, müncan ngen u lü Isarelea Pamhnam cun mhlünmtaikie.
32 And Jesus calling His disciples to Him, said, I sympathize with the multitude, because already three days abide unto me, and they have nothing which they may eat; I do not wish to send them away fasting, lest they may faint on the road.
Jesuh naw axüisaw hea jah khü lü, “Hina khyang he hin ka hlawnga mhnüp kthum ve pängki he, atuh ta ei vai am ve se jah mpyenei veng. Ami ei kaa jah tüih vai am daw. Ei ngaih lü lama khuikha hü khaie ni,” a ti.
33 And His disciples say to Him, Whence is there to us so much bread in the wilderness, as to feed so great a multitude?
Axüisawe naw, “Hawia hina khawmkyanga khyang hikäna ei vai mi hmuh khai ni?” ami ti.
34 And Jesus says to them; How much bread have ye? And they said, Seven loaves and a few fishes.
Jesuh naw, “Muk ikän nami taki” ti se, “Khyüh ja ngaca api ve ve” ami ti.
35 He having commanded the multitudes to sit down upon the ground,
Acunüng Jesuh naw khyang he ngaw khai hea a jah mtheh.
36 He took the seven loaves and the fishes; having given thanks, He broke them, and gave to His disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
Acunüng muk khyüh ja ngaca jah lo lü, Pamhnama veia jenak mtheh lü a bo. Acun cun axüisaw he üng jah pe se axüisaw he naw khyang he üng ami jah pet.
37 And they all ate, and were filled: and they took up the residue of fragments, seven baskets full.
Avan naw ei u lü, ami phü käna ak’hläi jah mcun u se cä khyüh üng beki.
38 And those eating were about tour thousand men, besides women and children.
Eikie cun nghnumi ja hnasen käh pakia kpami däk thawngkphyü lawki he.
39 And having sent away the multitudes, He went into a ship and came into the coasts of Magdala.
Acunüng Jesuh naw khyang he jah tüih be lü mlawng üng kai be lü, Makadalah khawa citki.
