Matiu 15
1 Anante mago'a Farisi vahe'ene kasegere ugagota hu'naza vahe'mo'za Jerusaleti, Jisasinte e'za anage hu'za asmi'naze.
Then [some] Pharisees and men who taught the [Jewish] laws came from Jerusalem [to talk to] Jesus. They said,
2 Na'a hige'za kamage nentaza disaipol naga'mo'za tagehe'i avu'ava zana ruhanentagize? Na'ankure zamazana sese osu ne'zana ne'naze.
“(We think it is disgusting that your disciples disobey the traditions of our ancestors!/Why do your disciples disobey [what our ancestors wrote down and] our [elders taught us]?) [RHQ] They do not perform the proper ritual of washing their hands before they eat!”
3 Jisasi'a ana ke nona'a, amanage huno zamasmi'ne, Nahigeta tamagra tamagehe'i avu'ava avriri zankuke nehutma, Anumzamofo kasegea rufunetagize?
Jesus answered them, “(What is really disgusting is that you refuse to obey God’s commands [just] so that you can follow what your ancestors taught you!/Why do you refuse to obey what God commanded [people to do, just] so that you can follow your own traditions?) [RHQ]
4 Na'ankure, Anumzamo'a anage hu'ne, Negafane, negrera ke amage antenka zanagi erisaga huo, iza'o nererano, nefano huhaviza huntesimofona ahe friho hu'ne.
God gave these [two] commands: ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and ‘People who speak evil about their father or mother must be executed.’
5 Hianagi tamagra anage nehaze, iza'o nererano nefanku huno, kazahu'za ante'noa zana Anumzamofo ami'none haniana,
But you tell people, ‘You can say to your father or mother, “What I was going to give to you [to help provide for you], [I have now promised] to give [to God].”’
6 agra nererano nefana antahi omino amagera nonte. Hagi anama nehutma Anumzamofo kea, nermageho avu'avakuke nehutma retufe netraze.
And if you do that, you think that you do not need to give anything to help your parents. In [that way], [by teaching people] your traditions, you disregard what God commanded.
7 Tamagra tavre vahere, Aisaia'ma kasnampa kema hunte'neana tamagriku tamage hu'ne,
You only pretend to be good! Isaiah prophesied accurately about you [also when he quoted what God said about your ancestors. God said],
8 Ama vahe'mo'za amega zamagiteti Nagia erisaga nehaze. Hianagi nagritetira zamagu'amo'a afete'are me'ne
‘These people talk [as if they] honor me [MTY], but they do not think about honoring me at all [MET].
9 Hianagi nena'a omne mono hunenante'za, rempima hazana vahe'mofo keage nehaze. (Ais 29:13.)
It is useless for them to worship me, because they teach what people thought up [as if I myself had commanded it].’”
10 Jisasi'a vahe kevu kehutru huteno anage hu'ne, Antahi ankeretma antahi ama hiho.
Then Jesus [again] summoned the crowd to come [nearer] to him. Then he said to them, “Listen to [what I am about to tell you], and [try to] understand it.
11 Vahe'mo'za zamagipima nazazamo'a zamazeri haviza nosie. Hianagi zamagipinti'ma atiramia zamo zamagu'a zamazeri haviza nehie.
Nothing that a person puts into his mouth [to eat] causes [God to consider] that person to be unacceptable. Instead, it is [the words] that come out of people’s mouths [SYN] that cause [God to reject them].”
12 Anante amage nentaza disaipol naga'mo'za e'za, anage hu'za asmi'naze, Farisi vahe'mo'za kema hana antahite'za zmarimpama ahegante'nazana Kagra antahi'nano?
Later we disciples went to Jesus and said, “Do you know that the Pharisees heard what you said, and as a result they felt offended [RHQ]?”
13 Hianagi Jisasi'a kenona'a amanage huno zamasmi'ne, maka'zama Nagri Nenfama onkri'neana, mika zanefi tregahie.
Then, [to teach us what God would do to the Pharisees], Jesus told [us this parable]: “My Father in heaven [will] get rid of all [those who teach things that are contrary to his truth, just like a farmer] gets rid of plants that he did not plant, by pulling them up along with their roots [MET].
14 Zamatrenke'za zamu suhu kva vahe'mo'za, zamusuhu vahera kana zameri'za viho. Na'ankure zamavu suhu vahe'mo'za, zamavu suhu vahera kana zameri'za vanazana, taregamoke kerifi uramigaha'e.
Do not pay any attention to [the Pharisees]. They [do not help people who do not know God’s truth] to [understand it, just like] blind guides [do not help] blind [people to perceive where they should go] [MET]. If a blind person [tries to] lead [another] blind person, they will both fall into a big hole [MET]. [Similarly, both the Pharisees and their disciples will end up in hell].” (questioned)
15 Hianagi Pita'a amanage huno hu'ne, ana fronka kemofo agafa'a eriama hugeta antahi maneno higeno,
Peter said to Jesus, “Explain to us the parable [about what a person eats].”
16 Jisasi'a amanage huno hu'ne, Tamagranena antahi so'e osu'neta nehazafi?
He replied [to them], “(I am disappointed that even you, [who should understand what I teach], still do not understand!/Why is it that even you [who should understand what I teach], still do not understand?) [RHQ]
17 Tamagipima nageno tamarimpafi uneramigeta arifama neraza'zana ontahi'nazo?
(You ought to understand that all [food that people] eat enters their stomachs, and later the refuse passes out of their [bodies]./Cannot you understand that all [food that people] eat enters their stomachs and later the refuse passes out [of their bodies]?) [RHQ] [Because food does not alter what we think and desire, what we eat does not cause God to consider that we are unacceptable to him].
18 Hianagi agipinti atiramia zamo'a agu'afinti neankino, azeri haviza nehie.
[You should know that] what comes out of [people’s] mouths, [meaning everything that they say] [SYN], comes from their inner beings/hearts. Many of the [things that they say] cause [God to consider] them to be unacceptable [to him].
19 Na'ankure agu'afinti havi antahintahizane, vahe ahe fri'zane, monko'zane, arave osu'neno monko'za hu'zane, kumzafa sezane, havigegu eri tamage hu'zama, knare vahe'mofo huhaviza hunte'zana ne-e.
It is people’s innermost beings that [cause them] to think things that are evil, to murder people, to [commit] adultery, to commit other sexual sins, to steal things, to testify falsely, and to speak evil about [others].
20 Ama'na zantamimo vahera zamazeri haviza nehie. Hianagi azama sese osu'neno ne'za nezamo'a, vahera azeri havizana nosie.
It is these actions that cause [God to consider] people to be unacceptable [to him]. To eat with unwashed hands does not cause [God to consider] people unacceptable to him.”
21 Anantetira Jisasi'a ana kumara atreno, Tairine Saitoni kumate vigeno,
After Jesus [took us and] left [Galilee district], we went into the region [where the cities of] Tyre and Sidon [are located].
22 mago Kenani a' ana kaziga nemania a'mo eno ranke huno kezatino, kasunku hunanto Ramoka, Deviti nemofoga, mofanimofona havi hankro'mo agu'afi fre'negeno tusi haviza hu'ne.
A woman [from the group of people called] Canaanites who live in that region came [to the place where Jesus was staying]. She kept shouting [to him], “Lord, you are the descendant of [King] David, [you are the Messiah!] Have pity on me [and my daughter!] She is suffering very much because a demon controls her.”
23 Hianagi Jisasi'a ana a'mofo kenona osu'ne. Agri amage nentaza disaipol naga'mo'za e'za anage hu'za asami'naze. Muse hugantonanki huntegeno vino, na'ankure agra tusi kereso nehianki huntegeno vino.
But Jesus did not answer her at all. [We] disciples came to him, and [knowing that the woman was not a Jew], we said to him, “Tell her to leave, because she keeps [bothering us] by yelling behind us!”
24 Hianagi Agra amanage huno kea hu'ne, Nagri'ma hunante'neana Israel vahe'ma fanane hu'naza sipisipiguke huno hunante'ne.
But Jesus said [to her], “I have been sent {[God] has sent me} to [help] only the Israelite people [at this time] [SYN]. [They are like] sheep that have gotten lost [MET] [because they do not know the way to heaven].”
25 Hianagi ana a'mo'a eno Jisasi avuga kepri huno amanage hu'ne, Ramoka Kagra naza huo!
But she came [closer] to Jesus and knelt down in front of him [to worship him]. She pled, “Lord/Sir, help me!”
26 Higeno Agra ana kenona anage hu'ne, Mofavre bretima eri'na matevu'na kraramimofo ami'zamo'a knarera osu'ne.
Then, [to suggest to her that he needed to help the Jews first and not the non-Jews, whom the Jews called dogs], he told her, “It is not good [for someone] to take food [that has been prepared for] the children and throw it to the [little] dogs.”
27 Hu'neanagi ana a'mo'a anage hu'ne, izo Ramoka, hianagi ana kramoza razmimofo itareti ankra heramiama'a nenaze.
[But to show that she believed that non-Jews could also receive help from God], the woman said [to Jesus], “Lord/Sir, what you [say is] correct, but even the [little] dogs eat the crumbs that fall to the floor [when] their masters [sit at] their tables [and eat]!”
28 Anante Jisasi ana a'kura anage huno asmi'ne, A'moka, Kagri kamentintimo'a ra krefahie, kagrima kavesinia kante anazana fore hugahie. Higeno, ame huno ana mofa'amofo krimo'a atrente'ne.
Then Jesus said to her, “O woman, [because] you believe firmly [in me, I] will [heal your daughter] as you desire!” At that moment [the demon left] her daughter, [and she] became well.
29 Hagi ana kuma atreno Jisasi'a Galili tinkenarega vuno, agonarega umrerino anantega umani'ne.
After Jesus, [along with us disciples], departed from that area, we went [back] to Galilee Lake [and walked] along it. Then Jesus climbed the hill [near there] and sat down [to teach the people].
30 Rama'a vahe'mo'za anantega Agrite ne-eza, zamagia zamaza sti'nea vahe'ene, zamagia haviza hu'nea vahe'ene, zamu suhu'nea vahe'ene, zamazama haviza hu'nea vahe'ene, zamagefuna atupa hu'nea vahe'ene, mago'a ruga'a vahe'ene zamare'za Jisasi agafi eme zmantageno zamazeri so'e hu'ne.
Crowds kept coming to him for the next two days and brought lame, crippled, and blind people, those who were unable to talk, and many others [who had various sicknesses]. They laid them in front of Jesus [so that he would heal them] [SYN]. And he healed them.
31 Tusi'a zmanogu nehu'za antri hu'naze. Kageno agefuna atupahu vahe'mo ke nehigeno, zamaza haviza hu'nea vahe'mo'za knare nehazageno, agia havizahu vahe'mo otino nevigeno, zamavu asuhu vahe'mo'za zamavua negage'za, Israeli vahe'mokizmi Anumzamofo agi zamagra ahentesga hu'naze.
The crowd saw [him heal] people who could not talk, crippled people, lame people, and blind people, and they were amazed. They said, “Praise God [who rules over us who live in] Israel!”
32 Jisasi'a amage nentaza disaipol naga'a ke huno anage huno zamasmi'ne, Nagra ama vahetaminkura nasunku huzmantoe, na'ankure zamagra tagufa kna Nagranena mani'nageno nezama nesazazana omne'ne. Nagrama huzmantesuge'za zamaga ene vuzankura navenosie. Na'ankure kantega nevu'za zamavu evu evu hanige'za traka ome hugahaze.
Then Jesus called us disciples to him and said [to us], “This crowd [of people] has been with me for three days and have nothing [left] to eat. I feel sorry for them. I do not want to send them away [while they are still] hungry, [because if I did that], they might faint on the way [home].”
33 Amage'ma nentaza disaipol naga'mo'za anage hu'za Agriku hu'naze, Inantegati rama'a bretia erita ama tusi vahe krerfa zmisunke'za, ama vahe omani kokampina erignare hugahaze?
We disciples said to him, “In this place where nobody lives, (we cannot possibly obtain enough food to feed such a large crowd!/how can we obtain a large enough amount of food to feed such a large crowd?) [RHQ]”
34 Jisasi'a anage huno zamasmi'ne, Nama'a breti tamagra eri'naze? Hige'za zamagra anage hu'naze, 7ni'a bretigi, mago'a osi nozamerame.
Jesus asked us, “How many small loaves do you have?” We said to him, “[We have] seven small loaves and a few [cooked] fish.”
35 Ana huteno vea kevua huzmantege'za mopafi mani'naze.
He told the people to sit on the ground.
36 Manitageno ana 7ni'a bretine noza'ene erino Anumza'mofo susu hunteteno, tmanasino amage nentaza disaipol naga'a zamige'za eri'za ana vea kevu zami'naze.
Then he took the seven small loaves and the fish. After he thanked [God for them], he broke them [into pieces], and he kept giving [them] to us. Then we [kept distributing] them to the crowd.
37 Ana hige'za maka vahe'mo'za ana neza nazageno zamu hutege'za, atrazama'a eri atru hu'za 7ni'a ekaeka kupi eri avite'naze.
[Because Jesus made the food multiply miraculously], all [those people] ate and had [plenty to] satisfy [them]. There were 4,000 men [who ate], but no [one counted] the women and the children [who also ate]. Then we [disciples] collected the pieces of food that were left over, and we filled seven large baskets [with them].
38 Hagi ana nezama ne'nazana 4tauseni'a vene'ne nazamo'za ne'naze. Anampina a'nene, mofavre'ramina ohampri'naze.
39 Hagi ananteti Jisasi'a, ana tusi'a vea kevu huzmantege'za nozimirega vu'za e'za nehazageno, votifi marerino Magadani kaziga vu'ne.
After Jesus dismissed the crowd, he, [along with us], got in the boat, and we sailed [around the lake] to the region called Magadan.
