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

¹Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem.

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

²And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault.

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

³For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.

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).

⁴And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables.

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

⁵Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?

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.

⁶He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

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

⁷Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

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

⁸For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.

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:

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

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

¹⁰For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:

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),

¹¹But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.

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

¹²And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;

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

¹³Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

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

¹⁴And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:

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.

¹⁵There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.

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

¹⁶If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

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

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

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?

¹⁸And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him;

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).

¹⁹Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?

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

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

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

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

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

²²Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:

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

²³All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

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.

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

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

²⁵For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:

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

²⁶The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.

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

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

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.

²⁸And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.

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

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

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

³⁰And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.

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

³¹And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.

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

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

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;

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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;

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

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