Mark 7
1 [One day some] Pharisees and some men who teach the [Jewish] laws gathered around Jesus. They had come from Jerusalem [to investigate him].
Farasinaw hoi Jerusalem kho lahoi ka tho e cakathutkungnaw teh Jisuh koevah a kamkhueng awh.
2 The Pharisees and all of the [other] Jews [strictly] observe the traditions that their ancestors [taught. For example, they refuse to] eat until they first wash their hands [with a special ritual], especially after they [return] from [buying things in] the marketplace. [They think that God will be angry with them if they do not do that, because some person or thing unacceptable to God might have touched] ([them/the things they bought]). There are many other such [traditions] that they accept and try to obey. Specifically, they wash [in a special way] their cups, pots, kettles, containers, and beds [in order that using these things will not make God reject them].
A hnukkâbang tangawn ni kut kamsin laipalah rawca a ca awh e a hmu awh navah a pathoe awh.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Farasinaw hoi Judahnaw teh, a kacuenaw e phung patetlah kut kamsin laipalah rawca cat awh hoeh.
Hahoi hnopai yonae koe e anhla a ran awh e hai pâsu laipalah cat awh hoeh. Hlaam, ailo, manang, pacen hoi ikhunnaw a pâsu awh e patetlah alouke kâcangkhai e naw a tarawi awh teh ouk a sak awh.
5 That day, those Pharisees and men who taught the [Jewish] laws saw that some of his disciples were eating food with hands that they had not washed [using the special ritual]. So they questioned Jesus, saying, “[Your] disciples disobey the traditions of our ancestors! (You should not [let them] eat food if they have not washed their hands [using our special ritual]!/Why do you [let them] eat food if they have not washed their hands [using our special ritual]?) [RHQ]”
Hatnavah Farasinaw hoi cakathutkungnaw ni bangkongmaw na hnukkâbangnaw ni kacuenaw e phung tarawi laipalah, kathounghoehe kut hoi rawca a ca awh telah Jisuh hah a pacei awh.
6 Jesus said to them, “Isaiah [rebuked your ancestors], and his words describe very well you people who only pretend to be good! He wrote these words [that God said]: These people speak [as if they] honor me, but they [SYN] really do not think about honoring me at all.
Profet Isaiah ni Cakathoung dawk nangmae kong a thut e teh atang tangngak doeh. Cathut ni hete taminaw ni a pahni hoi dueng doeh kai na bari awh teh, a lungthin hoi teh kai hoi a kâhla poung awh.
7 It is useless for them to worship me, because they teach only what people have commanded [as if I myself had commanded them].
Kai na bawknae teh ayawmyin pui doeh toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tami cangkhainae hah Cathut ni poe e kâpoelawk patetlah a kâcangkhai awh, a ti.
8 You, [like your ancestors], refuse [to do] what God has commanded. Instead, you follow only the traditions that (others/your ancestors) have [taught].”
Cathut e kâpoelawk hah na takhoe awh teh, tami e cangkhainae lah kaawm e ailo tongben pâle e hoi singyoenaw hah na tarawi awh.
9 Jesus also said to them, “[You think] [IRO] that you are clever in refusing to do what God commanded just so that you can obey your own traditions!
Na mintoenaw e kâ cangkhainae hah tarawi hanlah, Cathut e lawkpoelawk hah na hnoun awh bo toung vaw.
10 [For example, our ancestor] Moses [wrote God’s] command, ‘Honor your fathers and your mothers’. He also wrote, ‘[The authorities must] execute a person who speaks evil about his father or mother.’
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Mosi e kâlawk dawkvah, na manu hoi na pa bari awh, apihai a manu hoi a na pa a pahni hoi ka payon e teh thei lah ao han.
11 But you [teach people that it is all right that people no longer must help their parents. You teach people that it is all right if people] give their things to God [instead of giving them to their parents]. You allow them to say to their parents, ‘What I was going to give to you [to provide for you, I have now promised to] give to God. So I [cannot any longer help you]!’ As a result, you are [actually telling people] that they no longer have to help their parents!
Nangmouh niteh, tami ni a manu hoi a na pa koe nangmouh na kabawp nahan ka tie ka hno hah Cathut e doeh tetpawiteh;
Hote tami teh a manu hoi a na pa hanlah kabawp thainae na poe awh hoeh.
13 And, by doing that, you disregard what God commanded! You teach your own traditions to others [and tell them strongly that they should obey them] And you do many other things like that.”
Het patetlah na cangkhainae hoi moi na sak awh eiteh, Cathut lawk koung na pahnawt awh toe. Hot patet e singyoenaw hah na tarawi awh, atipouh.
14 Then Jesus again summoned the crowd [to come closer. Then] he said to them [figuratively], “All of you people listen to me! [Try to] understand [DOU] [what I am about to tell you].
Hatnavah Jisuh ni tamimaya hah a ma koe bout a kaw teh, nangmouh pueng ni ka lawk thai panuek awh.
15 Nothing that people eat causes [God to] consider them to be unacceptable. On the contrary, it is that which comes from people’s (inner beings/hearts) that causes God to reject them.”
Alawilah hoi tami thung kâen e ni tami khin sak hoeh. Tami thung hoi ka tâcawt e ni doeh tami a khin sak, telah a dei pouh.
Thai nahan hnâ ka tawn pueng ni thai naseh atipouh.
17 After Jesus had left the crowd and then entered a house with the disciples, they asked him about the parable [that he had just spoken].
Jisuh ni tamimaya a ceitakhai teh imthungkhu a kâen nah a hnukkâbangnaw ni hote bangnuenae hah a pacei awh.
18 He replied, “([I am disappointed that] you also do not understand [what it means]!/Why can you not understand [what it means]?) [RHQ] (You ought to understand that nothing that [enters us from] outside can cause [God to] consider us unacceptable to him./Can you not understand that nothing that [enters us from] outside of us can cause [God to] consider us unacceptable to him?) [RHQ]
Hatnavah, Jisuh ni, Nangmouh hai telah totouh maw na pathu awh rah vaw, alawilah hoi tami thung kâen e ni tami khin sak hoeh tie na panuek awh hoeh na maw.
19 Instead of entering [and ruining] our minds/souls, it goes into our stomachs, and afterwards the refuse passes out [of our bodies].” By saying this, Jesus was declaring that people [can eat] any food without causing [God] to reject them.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, hot teh a lungthin thung kâen laipalah vonpui thung a kâen teh, alawilah bout a tâco, telah atipouh.
20 He also said, “It is the [thoughts and actions] that come from within people that cause [God] to consider them unacceptable to him.
Hat hoiyah, Jisuh ni, Tami kakhin sak kung katang teh, a thung lahoi ka tâcawt e doeh.
21 Specifically, it is people’s innermost being [that causes them to] think things that are evil; they act immorally, they steal [things], they commit murder.
Lungthin thung hoi kahawihoehe pouknae, uicuknae, tami theinae,
22 They [commit] adultery, they are greedy, they [act] maliciously, they deceive [people]. They [act] indecently, they envy [people], they speak evil about others, they are proud, and they [act] foolishly.
ayâ hno parunae, hounlounnae, cuknae, dumyennae, kamhnawngnae, hmuhmanae, ayâ min mathoe saknae, kâoupnae, kâpawinae, hounroe tawnnae, polokak lah onae,
23 People think [these thoughts] and then they do these evil actions, and that is what causes [God to] consider them unacceptable to him.”
hete kahawihoehe naw teh tami thung hoi ka tâcawt e a tho dawkvah, tami kakhin sak e lah a o, atipouh.
24 After Jesus [and his disciples] left [Galilee district], they went to the region around Tyre. While he stayed at a certain house, he desired that no one know [it], but people soon found out [that he was there].
Bawipa teh hote hmuen koehoi a thaw teh, Taire hoi Sidon ram lah a cei. Im buet touh dawk a kâen teh, apihai kâpanue sak hanlah ngai hoeh. Hatei, kâhrawk thai hoeh.
25 A certain woman, whose daughter had an evil spirit [within her], heard about Jesus. At once she came to him and prostrated herself at his feet.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, a canu buet touh kakhine muitha ni a man pouh e napui buet touh ni Jisuh koe a tho teh, a khok rahim vah a tabo.
26 This woman [was not a Jew. Her ancestors came] from Greece [country], but she was born in [the region around] Phoenicia [town] in Syria district. She pleaded with Jesus that he expel the evil spirit from her daughter.
Ahni teh Jentel napui Syrophoenician kho ka khe e doeh.
27 But he [wanted to see how strongly she believed in him. So, suggesting that he should help the Jews first and not the non-Jews whom some Jews called dogs] [MET], [he] spoke to her saying, “First let the children eat all they want, because it is not good for someone to take the food [the mother has prepared] for the children and then throw it to the [little] dogs.”
Jisuh ni ma canaw hah hmaloe kaboumlah paca han, canaw e rawca hah oun la pouh teh, ui oun paca kawi yaw maw, atipouh.
28 But [to show that she believed that non-Jews could also receive help from God] [MET], she replied to him, “Sir, [what you say is] correct, but even the [little] dogs, which lie under the table, eat the crumbs that the children [drop].”
Hote napui niyah, Bokheiyah, Bawipa. Hatei, uinaw ni patenghai camonaw e cadue hah ouk a luep nahoehmaw atipouh.
29 [Jesus] said to her, “Because of what you have said, [you have shown me that you believe in what I can do for you]. So I will help you. Now you may go [home, because I have caused] the evil spirit to leave your daughter.”
Jisuh niyah, Hettelah na dei dawkvah nama im ban leih, kahraikathout teh na canu thung hoi a tâco toe atipouh.
30 The woman returned to her house and saw that her child was lying [quietly] on the bed and that the evil spirit had left.
Hatdawkvah hote napui teh a ma im a ban teh, a canu teh ikhun dawk a i e a hmu. Kahrai kathout ni a tâco takhai katang toe tie hah a panue.
31 Jesus [and his disciples] left the region around Tyre [city] and went [north] through Sidon [city], then [toward the east] through the district of the Ten Towns, and then [south] to [the towns near] Lake Galilee.
Jisuh ni Taire hoi Sidon kho a ceitakhai teh, Dikapolis ram a rakan teh, Galilee tuipui koe a pha.
32 [There], people brought to him a man who was deaf and who could hardly talk. They begged [Jesus] to lay his hands on him [in order to heal him].
Hatnavah, Jisuh koe tami buet touh a hnâ ka pang niteh, a lawk ka a e van vah a kut toung sak hanelah a kâhei awh.
33 [So Jesus] took him away from the crowd [in order that the two of them could be] alone. Then he put [one of] his fingers into [each of] the man’s ears. After he spat [on his fingers], he touched the man’s tongue [with his fingers].
Jisuh ni hote tami teh tamimaya koehoi a ma dueng soumtinae koe a ceikhai teh, a hnâ roi thung a kutdawn hoi a tapu pouh. Tamtui a tamthawi teh a lai dawk a hluk pouh.
34 Then he looked up toward heaven, he sighed [because he was concerned for the man], and then [in his own language] he said to the man’s [ears], “Ephphatha”, which means, “Be opened {Open up}!”.
Hahoi, Jisuh ni kalvan lah a moung teh, phokâha teh, Ephphatha telah atipouh. Ephphatha ti ngainae teh, Kamawng haw tinae doeh.
35 At once the man could hear plainly [MTY]. He also began to speak clearly because [what was causing him to be unable to speak] was healed {Jesus healed [what was causing him to be unable to speak]}.
Dongdeng ca dawk ahnie hnâ a ang pouh teh, lawk hai bout a tho thai.
36 Jesus told ([the people/his friends]) not to tell anyone [what he had done]. But, although he ordered them [and others] repeatedly [not to tell anyone about it], they kept talking about it very much.
Jisuh ni api koehai hote a konglam hah dei awh hanh lah a telah kâ a poe. Hatei, ahnimouh ni hoehoe a pâpho awh.
37 [People who heard about it] were utterly amazed and were saying [enthusiastically], “Everything he has done is wonderful! [Besides doing other amazing things], he enables deaf people to hear! And he enables those who cannot speak to speak!”
Hote kamthang kathainaw pueng ni kângairu poung awh teh, a sak e pueng ahawipoung. Hnâpangnaw a hnâ a thai awh teh, lawkanaw hai lawk a tho thai awh toe, ati awh.
