Matthew 15
1 Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem, saying,
Te phoeiah Pharisee rhoek neh cadaek rhoek tah Jerusalem lamloh Jesuh te a paan uh tih,
2 “Why do your disciples disobey the tradition of the elders? For they don’t wash their hands when they eat bread.”
“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 He answered them, “Why do you also disobey the commandment of God because 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 commanded, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be 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 say, ‘Whoever may tell his father or his mother, “Whatever help you might otherwise have gotten from me is a gift devoted to God,”
Tedae nangmih loh, ' Hoeikhang vaengah tah, ' Manu napa khaw, te te kamah lamkah hmueih ni,’ a ti coeng atah,
6 he shall not honor his father or mother.’ You have made the commandment of God void because 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 You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
Hlangthai palat rhoek, Isaiah loh nangmih kawng te phek a phong tih,
8 ‘These people draw near to me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
Pilnam long he a hmui neh kan n'hinyah uh. Tedae a thinko tah kai lamloh voelh hla coeng.
9 And they worship me in vain, teaching as doctrine rules made by men.’”
A poeyoek la kai m'bawk uh tih hlang kah olpaek lamkah thuituennah neh a thuituen uh,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
10 He summoned the multitude, and said to them, “Hear, and understand.
Te phoeiah hlangping te a khue tih, “Hnatun lamtah hmuhming uh lah.
11 That which enters into the mouth doesn’t defile the man; but that which proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man.”
Ka khuila aka kun loh hlang a poeih moenih. Tedae ka lamkah aka thoeng loh hlang a poeih,” a ti nah.
12 Then the disciples came and said to him, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?”
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 But he answered, “Every plant which my heavenly Father didn’t plant will be uprooted.
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. If the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a 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 Peter answered him, “Explain the parable to us.”
Peter loh a doo tih, “Kekah nuettahnah he kaimih ham thuicaih lah,” a ti nah.
16 So Jesus said, “Do you also still not understand?
Tedae Jesuh loh, “Nangmih khaw lungmong kotalh la na om uh pueng a?
17 Don’t you understand that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the belly and then out of 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 which proceed out of the mouth come out of the heart, and they defile the man.
Tedae ka lamkah aka thoeng tah thinko lamkah ha thoeng dongah hlang a poeih.
19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual sins, thefts, false testimony, and blasphemies.
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 to eat with unwashed hands doesn’t defile the man.”
Hekah rhoek long ni hlang a poeih. Tedae kut muen a la aka ca loh hlang a poeih moenih,” a ti nah.
21 Jesus went out from there and withdrew into the region of Tyre and Sidon.
Te lamloh a caeh phoeiah Jesuh tah Tyre neh Sidon pingpang la khoe uh.
22 Behold, a Canaanite woman came out from those borders and cried, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, you son of David! My daughter is severely possessed 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. His disciples came and begged him, saying, “Send her away; for she cries after 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 But he answered, “I wasn’t sent to anyone but the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
Tedae Jesuh loh a doo tih, “Israel imkhui kah tu aka poci ham pawt koinih n'tueih mahpawh,” a ti nah.
25 But she came and worshiped him, saying, “Lord, help me.”
Huta te ha pawk vaengah anih te a bawk tih, “Boeipa, kai m'bom dae,” a ti nah.
26 But he answered, “It is not appropriate 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 But she said, “Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”
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 Then Jesus answered her, “Woman, great is your faith! Be it done to you even as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that hour.
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 Jesus departed from there and came near to the sea of Galilee; and he went up on the mountain and sat there.
Te lamloh a thoeih vaengah Jesuh tah Galilee tuili la pawk. Te phoeiah tlang la luei tih pahoi ngol.
30 Great multitudes came to him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others, and they put them down at his feet. He healed 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 multitude wondered when they saw the mute speaking, the injured healed, the lame walking, and the blind seeing—and they glorified 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 Jesus summoned his disciples and said, “I have compassion on the multitude, because they have continued with me now three days and have nothing to eat. I don’t want to send them away fasting, or they might faint on the way.”
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 The disciples said to him, “Where could we get so many loaves in a deserted place as to satisfy so great 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 Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven, 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 He commanded the multitude to 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. He gave thanks and broke them, and gave to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.
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 They all ate and were filled. They took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over.
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 four thousand men, in addition to women and children.
Aka ca rhoek tah huta neh camoe tae kolla tongpa thawngli lo uh.
39 Then he sent away the multitudes, got into the boat, and came into the borders of Magdala.
Hlangping te a tueih phoeiah lawng khuila kun tih Magadan vaang la pawk.
