¹And there are gathered together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, who had come from Jerusalem,

¹Huan, Pharisaite leh laigelhmite laka mi kuate hiam, Jerusalem khua akipana hong, a kiangah a hongkikhawm ua.

²and had seen that some of his disciples ate their bread with defiled, that is, unwashen, hands.

²Huaiten tuh a nungjui khenkhatten khut ninpia tanghou a nek uh a namuta ua, Nin, chih tuh, sil louh, chihna ahi.

³(For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands diligently, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders;

³Pharisai leh Juda tengtengin, Upate thugousiah a pom chinten jiak un a khut uh houhtaka a sil kei uleh a ne ngei kei uh.

⁴and [when they come] from the market-place, except they bathe themselves, they eat not; and many other things there are, which they have received to hold, washings of cups, and pots, and brasen vessels.)

⁴(Huan, dawl mun akipana a pai un leng a kisil phot kei uleh a ne ngei kei uh. Huan, thugousiah dang tampi a chin uh a om, nou, bel, taubelte sil khawng bang).

⁵And the Pharisees and the scribes ask him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with defiled hands?

⁵Huchiin, Pharisaite leh laigelhmiten, Bang achia na nungjuite upate thugousiah bangbanga om loua, khut ninpia tanghou ne nak uh ahia? chiin, a dong ua.

⁶And he said unto them, Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoreth me with their lips, But their heart is far from me.

⁶Huan, aman, a kiang uah, Isaiin nou mi lepchiahte thu a nagenkhol dik hilhial ve, Hiaiten a mukun a honpahtawi ua, a lungtangun lah hon gamlat ngial ngal uh.

⁷But in vain do they worship me, Teaching [as their] doctrines the precepts of men.

⁷Abang abang hitaleh, a thuhilhna ua mihing thupiakte a hilh jiakun a honbiak u tuh a thawn lel ahi, chih gelh bangin.

⁸Ye leave the commandment of God, and hold fast the tradition of men.

⁸Pathian thupiakte khulin mihing thugousiah na len chinten ua eive, a chi a.

⁹And he said unto them, Full well do ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your tradition.

⁹Huan, amahmahin, a kiang uah, Na thugousiah khawng uh na zuih theihna ding ua Pathian thupiakte na deih louh ujaw, lem na thei hial ve ua:

¹⁰For Moses said, Honor thy father and thy mother; and, He that speaketh evil of father or mother, let him die the death:

¹⁰Mosiin, Na nu leh na pa pahtawiin, Kuapeuh a nu hiam a pa hiam gensia tuh si mahmah heh, a chi ngal a;

¹¹but ye say, If a man shall say to his father or his mother, That wherewith thou mightest have been profited by me is Corban, that is to say, Given [to God];

¹¹Nou tuh hichi bangin na chi ua, Min, a nu hiam, a pa hiam kiangah, Non phatuampihna ding Korban a hita, a chih leh, (huai tuh, Pathian kianga piak, chihna ahi a),

¹²ye no longer suffer him to do aught for his father or his mother;

¹²A nu ading hiam, apa ading hiama bangmah hihsak na phal nawn kei nak uh.

¹³making void the word of God by your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things ye do.

¹³Na thugousiah uh mi na piak sawnsawnna un Pathian thu bangmahlou na suah uhi; huai bang thil tampi na hih uh, a chi a.

¹⁴And he called to him the multitude again, and said unto them, Hear me all of you, and understand:

¹⁴Huan, mipite a sam nawna, a kiang uah, Na vek un ka thu ngaikhia unla, theisiam un:

¹⁵there is nothing from without the man, that going into him can defile him; but the things which proceed out of the man are those that defile the man.

¹⁵Mihing polama kipana a sunga lut amah hihnin thei bangmah a om kei; mihing sunga kipana hongpawt, huaite ngei tuh mihing hihnin ahi jaw hi.

¹⁶[If any man hath ears to hear, let him hear.]

¹⁶Kuapeuh jakna dinga bil neiin, ja hen, a chi a.

¹⁷And when he was entered into the house from the multitude, his disciples asked of him the parable.

¹⁷Huan, mipite ina a lut san nungin a nungjuiten gentehna thu amah a dong chianta ua.

¹⁸And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Perceive ye not, that whatsoever from without goeth into the man, [it] cannot defile him;

¹⁸Huan, aman a kiang uah, Nou leng huchitela theihsiamna neilou na hi u maw? Bangpeuh polam akipana mihing sunga lut in tuh, amah a hihnin theikei chih na theikei ua hia?

¹⁹because it goeth not into his heart, but into his belly, and goeth out into the draught? [This he said], making all meats clean.

¹⁹A lungtangh sunga lut lou a, a gil sunga a lut jawk jiakin leh dailenna pawt khe mai a hih jiakin, a chi a. (Huai tuh an chiteng a siang, a chihna a hi).

²⁰And he said, That which proceedeth out of the man, that defileth the man.

²⁰huan, amahmahin, Mihing sunga pata hongpawtin, huai ngeingeiin mihing a hihnin nak ahi.

²¹For from within, out of the heart of men, evil thoughts proceed, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries,

²¹Sung lama, mihingte lungtanga kipanin, ngaihtuahna gilou bang a hongpawt nak:

²²covetings, wickednesses, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, railing, pride, foolishness:

²²Kingaihna bang, guktakna bang, tualthahna bang, angkawmna bang, enna bang, gitlouhna bang, khemhatna bang, bevenna bang, hajatna bang, gensiatna bang, kisaktheihna bang, haihuainate khawng:

²³all these evil things proceed from within, and defile the man.

²³Hiai thil giloute tengteng tuh sung lama kipanin a hongpawt a, mihing a hihnin nak, a chi a.

²⁴And from thence he arose, and went away into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. And he entered into a house, and would have no man know it; and he could not be hid.

²⁴Huan, a thou-a, huaia kipanin Tura leh Sidon uk ah a paita-a; huan, in ah a lut-a, kuamah theih a deih keia; himahleh a kisel thei ngal keia.

²⁵But straightway a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet.

²⁵huchiin, numei khat, a tanu naupang chik dawi nin paiin, a tanchin a naza paha, a khe bulah a khupboh-a.

²⁶Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. And she besought him that he would cast forth the demon out of her daughter.

²⁶Numei tuh Grik mi ahia, pianna lam ah Suro-Phoinikimi ahi. Aman tuh a tanu sunga kipana dawi delh khe dingin a ngena.

²⁷And he said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs.

²⁷Huan, aman a kiangah, Tate hongvah masa uhen aw; tate tanghou lak-saka uite kianga paih kilawm lou hi, a chi a.

²⁸But she answered and saith unto him, Yea, Lord; even the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.

²⁸Aman a kiangah, Toupa, hihjaw ahi a, a hihhangin dohkan nuaia uiten leng tate tanghou nen khawng a ne jel sam vo oi, chiin, a dawng a.

²⁹And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the demon is gone out of thy daughter.

²⁹huan, aman, a kiangah, Na thu gen jiakin paita ve le: dawi na tanu sunga kipan a pawtta hi, a chi a.

³⁰And she went away unto her house, and found the child laid upon the bed, and the demon gone out.

³⁰Huan, a in-ah a pai-a, a tanu, dawiin a pawt khiaksan, lupnaa lum a vamuta.

³¹And again he went out from the borders of Tyre, and came through Sidon unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the borders of Decapolis.

³¹Huan, Tura gam akipanin a pawt nawna, Sidon khua tawn in Dekapoli gam pai kan jelin Galili dil a tungta a.

³²And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to lay his hand upon him.

³²Huan, mi khat bengngawng, pau leng pau kichian theilou a kiangah hontonpih ua, a tunga khut koih dingin a ngen ua.

³³And he took him aside from the multitude privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat, and touched his tongue;

³³Huan, aman tuh mipi laka kipanin amah kiain a pi tuam a, a khut zungte bangin a bil sung khawng a khoih a, huan, chil a sia a, a lei a khoiha;

³⁴and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.

³⁴Huan van lam enin a ha huaia, a kiangah Ephatha, a chi a. Huai tuh, Hong kihong in, chihna ahi.

³⁵And his ears were opened, and the bond of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.

³⁵Huchiin, a bilte khawng a hongkihonga, a lei gakna leng a hongkiphel a, chiantakin a pauthei ta.

³⁶And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it.

³⁶Huan, aman, a kiang uah, kuamah hilh louh ding a chi bikbeka; himahleh a nak kham phetin, a nak tangkou pih zo sem ua.Aman bangkim hoihtakin a hiha; bengngongte nangawn a pausak jel, a chi ua, lamdang a sa mahmah uh.

³⁷And they were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well; he maketh even the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.

³⁷Aman bangkim hoihtakin a hiha; bengngongte nangawn a pausak jel, a chi ua, lamdang a sa mahmah uh.
