Matthew 15
1 Then there came to Jesus a party of Pharisees and Scribes from Jerusalem, who inquired,
Te phoeiah Pharisee rhoek neh cadaek rhoek tah Jerusalem lamloh Jesuh te a paan uh tih,
2 "Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the Elders by not washing their hands before meals?"
“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 "Why do you, too," He retorted, "transgress God's commands for the sake of your tradition?
Tedae amih te a doo tih, “Namamih kah singyoe kongah Pathen kah olpaek te balae tih na aek uh van?
4 For God said, 'Honour thy father and thy mother'; and 'Let him who reviles father or mother be certainly put to 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 you--this is what you say: 'If a man says to his father or mother, That is consecrated, whatever it is, which otherwise you should have received from me--
Tedae nangmih loh, 'Hoeikhang vaengah tah, 'Manu napa khaw, te te kamah lamkah hmueih ni,’ a ti coeng atah,
6 he shall be absolved from honouring his father'; and so you have abrogated God's Word for the sake of your tradition.
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 did Isaiah prophesy of you,
Hlangthai palat rhoek, Isaiah loh nangmih kawng te phek a phong tih,
8 "'This is a People who honour Me with their lips, while 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 it is in vain they worship Me, while they lay down precepts which are mere human rules.'"
A poeyoek la kai m'bawk uh tih hlang kah olpaek lamkah thuituennah neh a thuituen uh,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
10 Then, when He had called the people to Him, Jesus said, "Hear and understand.
Te phoeiah hlangping te a khue tih, “Hnatun lamtah hmuhming uh lah.
11 It is not what goes into a man's mouth that defiles him; but it is what comes out of his mouth--that defiles a 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 came and said to Him, "Do you know that the Pharisees were greatly shocked when they heard those words?"
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 "Every plant," He replied, "which my Heavenly Father has not planted will 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 guides of the blind; and if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into some pit."
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 "Explain to us this figurative language," said Peter.
Peter loh a doo tih, “Kekah nuettahnah he kaimih ham thuicaih lah,” a ti nah.
16 "Are even you," He answered, "still without intellingence?
Tedae Jesuh loh, “Nangmih khaw lungmong kotalh la na om uh pueng a?
17 Do you not understand that whatever enters the mouth passes into the stomach and is afterwards ejected from the body?
Ka khuila aka kun boeih te bungpuei la cet tih naat la a pha te na yakming uh pawt nim?
18 But the things that come out of the mouth proceed from the heart, and it is these that defile the man.
Tedae ka lamkah aka thoeng tah thinko lamkah ha thoeng dongah hlang a poeih.
19 For out of the heart proceed wicked thoughts, murder, adultery, fornication, theft, perjury, impiety of speech.
Poeknah a thae, ngawnnah, samphaihnah, Cukhalnah, huencannah, a honghi neh soehsalnah he thinko lamkah ni ha thoeng.
20 These are the things which defile the man; but eating with unwashed hands does not defile."
Hekah rhoek long ni hlang a poeih. Tedae kut muen a la aka ca loh hlang a poeih moenih,” a ti nah.
21 Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew into the vicinity of Tyre and Sidon.
Te lamloh a caeh phoeiah Jesuh tah Tyre neh Sidon pingpang la khoe uh.
22 Here a Canaanitish woman of the district came out and persistently cried out, "Sir, Son of David, pity me; my daughter is cruelly harassed 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 answered her not a word. Then the disciples interposed, and begged Him, saying, "Send her away because she keeps crying behind 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 "I have only been sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel," He replied.
Tedae Jesuh loh a doo tih, “Israel imkhui kah tu aka poci ham pawt koinih n'tueih mahpawh,” a ti nah.
25 Then she came and threw herself at His feet and entreated Him. "O Sir, help me," she said.
Huta te ha pawk vaengah anih te a bawk tih, “Boeipa, kai m'bom dae,” a ti nah.
26 "It is not right," He said, "to take the children's bread and throw 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 "Be it so, Sir," she said, "for even the dogs eat the scraps which fall from their masters' tables."
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 "O woman," replied Jesus, "great is your faith: be it done to you as you desire." And from that moment her daughter was restored to health.
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 Again, moving thence, Jesus went along by the Lake of Galilee; and ascending the hill, He sat down there.
Te lamloh a thoeih vaengah Jesuh tah Galilee tuili la pawk. Te phoeiah tlang la luei tih pahoi ngol.
30 Soon great crowds came to Him, bringing with them those who were crippled in feet or hands, blind or dumb, and many besides, and they hastened to lay them at His feet. And He cured 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 people were amazed to see the dumb speaking, the maimed with their hands perfect, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they gave the glory to 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 called His disciples to Him and said, "My heart yearns over this mass of people, for it is now the third day that they have been with me and they have nothing to eat. I am unwilling to send them away hungry, lest they should faint on the road."
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 "Where can we," asked the disciples, "get bread enough in this remote place to satisfy so vast a multitude?"
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 "How many loaves have you?" Jesus asked. "Seven," they said, "and a few small fish."
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 So He bade all the people sit down on the ground,
Te phoeiah hlangping te lai ah ngol hamla ol a uen tih,
36 and He took the seven loaves and the fish, and after giving thanks He broke them up and then distributed them to the disciples, and they to the people.
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 they all ate and were satisfied. The broken portions that remained over they took up--seven full hampers.
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 Those who ate were 4,000 adult men, without reckoning women and children.
Aka ca rhoek tah huta neh camoe tae kolla tongpa thawngli lo uh.
39 He then dismissed the people, went on board the boat, and came into the district of Magadan.
Hlangping te a tueih phoeiah lawng khuila kun tih Magadan vaang la pawk.
