Matthew 15
1 Na kutu mwet Pharisee ac mwet luti Ma Sap elos tuku liki acn Jerusalem ac siyuk sin Jesus,
Then came to Jesus Pharisees and Scribes that were from Jerusalem, and said:
2 “Efu ku mwet tuma lutlut lom elos tia akos mwe luti ma ituku nu sesr sin mwet matu lasr oemeet me uh? Elos tiana akfalye ma oakwuki ke ouiyen aknasnasye paolos meet liki elos mongo!”
Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders, and wash not their hands when they eat bread?
3 Na Jesus el topuk ac fahk, “Ac efu ku kowos tia akos ma sap lun God, a kowos fahsr na ke mwe luti lowos sifacna?
Jesus replied and said to them: Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God, on account of your tradition?
4 Tuh God El fahk mu, ‘Sunakin papa tomom ac nina kiom,’ ac ‘Kutena mwet su selngawi papa tumal ku nina kial ac fah anwuki.’
For God hath said: Honor thy father, and thy mother; and he that revileth his father or his mother, shall be put to death.
5 A kowos luti ac fahk mu fin oasr kutena ma yurin sie mwet ma el ku in sang kasru papa tumal ku nina kial, a el fahk mu, ‘Ma se inge ma lun God,’
But ye say: Whosoever shall say to a father or to a mother, Be that my offering, by which ye get profit from me: then he must not honor his father or his mother.
6 na el tia enenu in sunakin papa tumal. Ke kowos oru ouinge kowos tia akos ma God El sapkin, tuh kowos in oru na mwe luti lowos sifacna.
And thus ye make void the word of God, for the sake of your tradition.
7 Kowos mwet wosounkas! Arulana pwaye ke Isaiah el tuh palye keiwos fahk mu,
Ye hypocrites, well did the prophet Isaiah prophesy of you, and say:
8 ‘Mwet inge sunakinyu na ke oalulos, A insialos loes likiyu.
This people honoreth me with the lips, but their heart is far from me.
9 Wangin sripen alu lalos nu sik, Mweyen elos luti mwet uh ke ma sap ma elos sifacna orala, oana in ma sap luk!’”
And in vain they pay me homage, while they teach doctrines that are the precepts of men.
10 Na Jesus el pangonma un mwet uh nu yorol ac fahk nu selos, “Lohng, tuh in kalem suwos!
And he called the multitudes, and said to them, Hear and understand.
11 Tia ma su utyak nu in oalin sie mwet pa akfohkfokye moul lal uh, a ma su illa liki oalul pa akfohkfokyal uh.”
Not that which entereth the mouth, defileth a man; but that which proceedeth from the mouth, that defileth a man.
12 Na mwet tumal lutlut elos tuku nu yorol ac fahk, “Ku kom etu lah mwet Pharisee elos toasrla ke ma kom fahk ah?”
Then came his disciples, and said to him: Knowest thou, that the Pharisees were offended when they heard that speech?
13 Ac Jesus el topkolos ac fahk, “Sak nukewa su Papa tumuk inkusrao el tia yukwiya, ac fah fifyak.
And he replied, and said to them: Every plant, which my Father who is in heaven hath not planted, shall be eradicated.
14 Nimet elya selos! Elos mwet kol kun; ac mwet kun se fin pwen sie pac mwet kun, eltal kewa ac putatyang nu in luf uh.”
Let them alone: they are blind leaders of the blind. And if a blind man leadeth one blind, they will both fall into the ditch.
15 Na Peter el fahk nu sel, “Aketeya nu sesr kalmen kas lom nu sin mwet Pharisee uh.”
And Simon Cephas answered and said to him: My Lord, explain to us this similitude.
16 Na Jesus el fahk nu selos, “Ya kowos srakna oana mwet saya uh, soenna kalem?
And he said to them: Are ye also, up to this time, without understanding?
17 Ya kowos tia etu? Kutena ma su utyak nu in oalin sie mwet ac fah som nu in sial, ac illa liki manol.
Know ye not, that whatever entereth the mouth, passeth into the belly, and from there is ejected by purgation?
18 A ma su illa liki oalin sie mwet, ma inge tuku liki nunak lun insial, ac ma inge pa akfohkfokye moul lun sie mwet.
But that which proceedeth from the mouth, cometh from the heart: and that is what defileth a man.
19 Mweyen nunak koluk uh tuku liki insial me, ac kolol in orek akmas, kosro, ac oru kutepacna lumah koluk saya uh; in pusr, kikiap, ac kaskas koluk lain mwet.
For, from the heart proceed evil thoughts, adultery, murder, whoredom, theft, false testimony, reviling.
20 Pa inge ma su akfohkfokye sie mwet. A in tia ohlla pao meet liki mongo, oana lumah ma elos fahk kowos in oru — ma inge tia akfohkfokye moul lun mwet.”
These are the things that defile a man. But if a man eat while his hands are unwashed, he is not defiled.
21 Jesus el fahsr liki acn sac, ac som nu in acn ma oan apkuran nu Tyre ac Sidon.
And Jesus departed from there, and went to the confines of Tyre and Sidon.
22 Sie mutan Canaan su muta in acn sac tuku nu yorol, ac wowoyak ac fahk, “Wen nutin David, nunak munas, pakoten nu sik. Oasr musen demon in acn se nutik, ac el arulana keok kac.”
And lo, a woman, a Canaanitess from those confines, came forth, calling out and saying: Compassionate me, my Lord, thou son of David: my daughter is grievously distressed by a demon.
23 Tusruktu wanginna ma Jesus el fahk nu sel. A mwet tumal lutlut elos kwafe nu sel ac fahk, “Supwalla! El fahsr tokosr ac arulana wowon!”
But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and requested of him, and said: Send her away, for she crieth after us.
24 Na Jesus el fahk, “Supweyukme nga nu sin sheep tuhlac sin mwet Israel mukena.”
But he answered and said to them: I am not sent, except to the sheep that have strayed from the house of Israel.
25 A mutan sac tuku ac putati nu ke nial ac fahk, “Leum, kasreyu!”
And she came, and worshipped him, and said: Help me, my Lord.
26 Ac Jesus el fahk, “Tia fal in eis mongo nun tulik ac sisla nu sin kosro ngalngul.”
Jesus said to her: It is not proper, to take the bread of the children and throw it to the dogs.
27 Na mutan sac fahk, “Aok, pwaye Leum, tusruktu finne kosro ngalngul uh, elos kang pac kutkut in mongo ma putatla liki tepu lun leum lalos uh.”
And she said: Even so, my Lord; yet the dogs eat of the fragments that fall from the tables of their masters, and live.
28 Ke ma inge Jesus el fahk, “Kom sie mutan su arulana yohk lulalfongi la! Enenu lom an ac fah orek nu sum oana siyuk lom an.” Na in kitin pacl ah na tulik mutan se natul ah kwela.
Then Jesus said to her: O woman, great is thy faith: be it to thee, as thou desirest. And her daughter was cured from that hour.
29 Jesus el som liki acn sac ac fahsr ut sisken lulu Galilee. El fanyak nu ke sie acn fulat ac muta nu ten.
And Jesus departed from there, and came to the side of the sea of Galilee: and he ascended a mountain, and sat there.
30 Un mwet puspis tuku nu yorol, ac elos us mwet ul, mwet kun, mwet sukapas, mwet tia ku in kaskas, ac mwet mas puspis saya, ac filiya yurin Jesus; ac el akkeyalosla.
And great multitudes came to him; and with them were the lame, and the blind, and the dumb, and the maimed, and many others: and they laid them at the feet of Jesus, and he healed them.
31 Mwet uh arulana fwefela ke elos liye mwet nikin kas elos kaskas, mwet sukapas elos kwela, mwet ul elos fahsr, ac mwet kun elos liye. Ouinge elos kaksakin God lun Israel.
So that the multitudes were amazed, when they saw the dumb speaking, and the maimed made whole, and the lame walking, and the blind seeing: and they praised the God of Israel.
32 Jesus el pangonma mwet tumal lutlut ac fahk, “Nga pakomuta mwet inge, mweyen elos wiyu len tolu lah ac inge wangin ma elos in kang. Nga tia lungse supwalosla ac tia kitalosi, mweyen elos ac ku in mulalla inkanek uh.”
Then Jesus called his disciples, and said to them: I pity this multitude; for lo, these three days they have continued with me, and they have nothing to eat: and I am unwilling to send them away fasting, lest they faint by the way.
33 Na mwet tumal lutlut elos siyuk sel, “Kut ac konauk oya mongo ma ac fal nu sin u lulap se inge in acn mwesis se inge?”
His disciples say to him: Whence can we get bread in the wilderness, to satisfy all this multitude?
34 Na Jesus el siyuk selos, “Bread ekasr oasr yuruwos?” Elos fahk, “Lof itkosr, ac ik srisrik ekasr.”
Jesus said to them, How many loaves have ye? They said to him, Seven, and a few little fishes.
35 Na Jesus el sap mwet uh in muta fin fohk uh.
And he commanded the multitudes to recline on the ground.
36 Na el eis lof itkosr ac ik uh, ac sang kulo nu sin God. El kunsalik ac sang nu sin mwet tumal lutlut, ac elos sang nu sin mwet uh.
And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes.
37 Mwet nukewa mongo nwe kihpi na. Na mwet tumal lutlut elos orani fotoh itkosr ke luwen mongo uh.
And they all ate, and were satisfied. And they took up the remains of fragments, seven full baskets.
38 Pisen mwet ma mongo uh oasr ke tausin akosr mukul, sayen mutan ac tulik.
And they that had eaten were four thousand men, besides women and children.
39 Na Jesus el supwalik mwet uh, ac sroang nu fin oak soko ac som nu in acn Magadan.
And when he had sent away the multitudes, he took ship, and came to the coasts of Magdala.
