Matthew 15
1 Then there came to Jesus a party of Pharisees and Scribes from Jerusalem, who inquired,
Cawh Jerusalem khaw awhkawng Farasi khqi ingkaw anaa awi cawngpyikung khqi thlang vang ce Jesu a venna law unawh doet uhy,
2 "Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the Elders by not washing their hands before meals?"
kawtih na hubatkhqi ing a hqamcakhqik awi qoe ce ami hqe? Buh ami ai law hly awh ami kut khaw am sil uhy!, tina uhy.
3 "Why do you, too," He retorted, "transgress God's commands for the sake of your tradition?
Jesu ing a mingmih a venawh, “Cawhtaw kawtih nangmih ing na mimah ak awi qoe ingkaw Khawsa ak awipeek ce nami hqe lawt?
4 For God said, 'Honour thy father and thy mother'; and 'Let him who reviles father or mother be certainly put to death';
Khawsa ak awipeek ingtaw, na nu ingkaw na pa zoeksang lah, anu apa awih che ak hlah sih taw thih sak aham awm hy, tinawh ak kqawn ce.
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--
Cehlai nangmih ingtaw thlang ing anu apa venawh, 'kai a ven awhkawng na ngaih ik-oeih boeih boeih ce Khawsa venawh awm hawh hy,' a tinaak mantaw,
6 he shall be absolved from honouring his father'; and so you have abrogated God's Word for the sake of your tradition.
'anih ingtaw apa ce a zoeksang aham am awm hy,' ti u hyk ti. Cemyihna na mimah ak awi qoe ingkaw Khawsak awipeek ce kawna awm ap poek uhyk ti.
7 Hypocrites! well did Isaiah prophesy of you,
Nangmih thlang qaai kqawnkhqi! Isaiah ing nangmih akawng anak kqawn hyt:
8 "'This is a People who honour Me with their lips, while their heart is far away from Me;
”Ve ak thlangkhqi ing a mim kha hqawng ingtaw kai ve ni zoeksang kaa hlai uhy, amik kawlungkhqi taw ak chang na ta uhy;
9 but it is in vain they worship Me, while they lay down precepts which are mere human rules.'"
A hoeina ni kai ve ami ni beek hy; ami cawngpyinaak ce awm thlanghqing a cawngpyinaak mai ni, a tive thym hy,” tina hy.
10 Then, when He had called the people to Him, Jesus said, "Hear and understand.
Jesu ing thlang kqeng ce a venna khy nawh, “Ngai unawh zasim lah uh.
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."
Nim khak khuiawh anuk lut awk-ai ing thlang tuih am awm sak nawh, nim khak khui awhkawng ak cawn law awih che ing ni thlang tuih a awm sak,” tinak khqi hy.
12 Then His disciples came and said to Him, "Do you know that the Pharisees were greatly shocked when they heard those words?"
Cekcoengawh a hubatkhqi ce a venna law unawh doet uhy, “Farasikhqi ing ve ak awi ve aming zaak awh amik kaw am law hy, tice nak sim nu?” tina uhy.
13 "Every plant," He replied, "which my Heavenly Father has not planted will be rooted up.
Cehlai anih ing, “Khawk khan nakaw Pa ing a mang ling thingkungkhqi boeih taw ak kqa mah na phu kaw.
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."
Awm taak dym uh; sawikung mikhypkhqi ni. Mikhyp ing mikhyp a sawi mantaw, lawkkhqawng na tla qen kawm nih,” tina hy.
15 "Explain to us this figurative language," said Peter.
Piter ing a venawh, “Vawhkaw nyhtahnaak awi ve kaimih a venawh kqawn caih lah,” tina uhy.
16 "Are even you," He answered, "still without intellingence?
Jesu ing, “Nangmih ingawm am nami zasim nawh nu?
17 Do you not understand that whatever enters the mouth passes into the stomach and is afterwards ejected from the body?
Nim khak khuiawh a nuk lut boeih boeih taw phoen ak khuina cet nawh cawh kawng ce naat na cawn hy, tice am nami sim nawh nu?
18 But the things that come out of the mouth proceed from the heart, and it is these that defile the man.
Cehlai nim kha awhkawng ahak cawn law boeih taw kawlung khui awhkawng ni a law, cekkhqi ing ce thlang tyih am leh kap sak uhy.
19 For out of the heart proceed wicked thoughts, murder, adultery, fornication, theft, perjury, impiety of speech.
Kawlung khui awhkawng ni kawpoek amak leekkhqi, thlang himnaak, samphaihnaak, nu pa thawlhnaak, quuknaak, amak thym dyihthing na dyihnaak, Khawsa thekhanaak khqi ce a law hy.
20 These are the things which defile the man; but eating with unwashed hands does not defile."
Ve myihkhqi ing thlang tuih am leh kap sak hy; cehlai kut silh kaana buh ainaak ing thlang tuih am leh am kap sak hy,” tina hy.
21 Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew into the vicinity of Tyre and Sidon.
Ce hyn awhkawng Jesu taw Tura ingkaw Sidon khaw khqang ce cet hy.
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."
Cawh, Kanaan nu pynoet taw a qam khui awhkawng law nawh, a venawh, “Bawipa, David Capa, kai ve nim qeen lah! Ka canu qaai ing tu nawh khuikha soeih hy,” tina hy.
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."
Cehlai awi khang oet awm am hlat pehy. Cedawngawh a hubatkhqi ce a venna law unawh, “Ak chang na ceh sak hlah, ni hu awh khy khing hy,” tina uhy.
24 "I have only been sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel," He replied.
Jesu ing, “Isarel tuu ak qengkhqi aham doeng nani ani tyih,” tina hy.
25 Then she came and threw herself at His feet and entreated Him. "O Sir, help me," she said.
Cawh nu ce law nawh, “a haiawh khuk sym doena, “Bawipa ni bawm lah!” tina hy.
26 "It is not right," He said, "to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."
Anih ing, “Cakhqi phaihpi ce lawh pe nawh uikhqi ni peek lat ce am thym hy,” tina hy.
27 "Be it so, Sir," she said, "for even the dogs eat the scraps which fall from their masters' tables."
Cawhkaw nu ing, “Oeih, Bawipa, thym hy, cehlai ui ingawm a boeikhqi a caboei awhkaw buh baw ak tlakhqi ce lym lawt saw, tina uhy.
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.
Cawh Jesu ing a venawh, “Nang nu nak cangnaak dung soeih hy! Na thoehnaak ce peek na awm hawh hy,” tina hy. Cawhkawng a canu ce qoei tlang hy.
29 Again, moving thence, Jesus went along by the Lake of Galilee; and ascending the hill, He sat down there.
Ce a hyn ce Jesu ing cehta nawh Kalili tuili benna cet hy. Cekcoengawh tlang na ce kaai nawh ngawi hy.
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,
Cawh thlang kqeng khawzah ce a venna law uhy, khawk khem, mikhyp, awimyh, ak khawnkhqi ingkaw thlak tlokhqi ce a khawkung awh soei pe unawh; anih ing cekkhqi boeih ce qoei sak hy.
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.
Awimyh ing pau thai nawh ak khawnkhqi ing leek hy, khaw ak khemkhqi ingawm cet thai unawh mikhypkhqi ing hu thai uhy; ce mihkhqi ce thlang boeih ing ami huh awh amik kawpoek kyi unawh, Isarel Khawsa ce kyihcah uhy.
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."
Cekcoengawh Jesu ing a hubatkhqi ce a venna khy nawh, “Vawhkaw thlang kqeng ve qeen khqi soeih nyng, vekkhqi ve ka venawh ikaw awm a ai kaana khaw thum voei awm hawh uhy. Buh cawih doena ceh sak aham am ngaih nyng, ka ceh sak man lam lak awh lum hau kawm uh,” tina hy.
33 "Where can we," asked the disciples, "get bread enough in this remote place to satisfy so vast a multitude?"
A hubatkhqi ing a venawh, “Thlang ve zah a ai tat phaihpi ce ve kqawng khuiawh hana kaw ka mi huh kaw?” tina uhy.
34 "How many loaves have you?" Jesus asked. "Seven," they said, "and a few small fish."
Jesu ing a mingmih a venawh, “Phaihpi izah nu nami taak?” tinak khqi hy. A mingmih ing, “Phaihpi khqih ingkaw nga a khoeh ca taw awm hy,” tina uhy.
35 So He bade all the people sit down on the ground,
Thlang kqeng ce dek awh ngawih sak aham kqawn pehy.
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.
Phaihpi khqih ingkaw nga ce lo nawh zeelnaak awi ak kqawn coengawh thek nawh a hubatkhqi ce pehy. A hubatkhqi ing thlang kqeng a venawh tei pek khqi uhy.
37 And they all ate and were satisfied. The broken portions that remained over they took up--seven full hampers.
A mingmih ing ak phyi na ai boeih uhy. Ami ai ngenkhqi ce a hubatkhqi ing ami cawi awh vawh khqih na kawi uhy.
38 Those who ate were 4,000 adult men, without reckoning women and children.
Cawhkaw ak aikhqi boeih taw naasenkhqi ingkaw nukhqi ak kqawn kaana thlang thawngli law uhy.
39 He then dismissed the people, went on board the boat, and came into the district of Magadan.
Thlang kqeng ce a ceh sak coengawh, lawng khuina lut nawh Magadan khaw benna ce cet hy.
