¹Then the Pharisees, and some of the scribes gathered together to him, having come from Jerusalem.

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

²Now when they saw some of his disciples eating bread with defiled, that is, unwashed, hands, they found fault.

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, don’t eat unless they wash their hands and forearms, holding to 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.

⁴They don’t eat when they come from the marketplace, unless they bathe themselves, and there are many other things, which they have received to hold to: washings of cups, pitchers, bronze vessels, and couches.)

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).

⁵The Pharisees and the scribes asked him, “Why don’t your disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with unwashed 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.

⁶He answered them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, ‘This people honors 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.

⁷ But in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ Isaiah 29:13

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

⁸ “For you set aside the commandment of God, and hold tightly to the tradition of men—the washing of pitchers and cups, and you do many other such things.”

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

⁹He said to them, “Full well do you reject the commandment of God, that you 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:

¹⁰ For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother;’ Exodus 20:12; Deuteronomy 5:16 and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.’ Exodus 21:17; Leviticus 20:9

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

¹¹ But you say, ‘If a man tells his father or his mother, “Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban Corban is a Hebrew word for an offering devoted to God. , 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),

¹² then you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or his mother,

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

¹³ making void the word of God by your tradition, which you have handed down. You do many things like this.”

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

¹⁴He called all the multitude to himself, and said to 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:

¹⁵ There is nothing from outside of 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 anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!”

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

¹⁷When he had entered into a house away from the multitude, his disciples asked him about the parable.

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

¹⁸He said to them, “Are you thus without understanding also? Don’t you perceive that whatever goes into the man from outside can’t 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?

¹⁹ because it doesn’t go into his heart, but into his stomach, then into the latrine, thus purifying all foods or, making all foods 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).

²⁰He said, “That which proceeds out of the man, that defiles the man.

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

²¹ For from within, out of the hearts of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual sins, murders, thefts,

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

²² covetings, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, and 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:

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

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

²⁴From there he arose, and went away into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. He entered into a house, and didn’t want anyone to know it, but he couldn’t escape notice.

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.

²⁵For 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. She begged him that he would cast 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.

²⁷But Jesus said to her, “Let the children be filled first, for it is not appropriate to take the children’s bread and throw 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 him, “Yes, Lord. Yet even the dogs under the table eat 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.

²⁹He said to her, “For this saying, go your way. The demon has gone out of your daughter.”

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

³⁰She went away to her house, and found the child having been laid on the bed, with the demon gone out.

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

³¹Again he departed from the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and came to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the region of Decapolis.

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

³²They brought to him one who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech. They begged him to lay his hand on him.

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

³³He 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;

³⁴Looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to 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.

³⁵Immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was released, and he spoke clearly.

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

³⁶He commanded them that they should tell no one, but the more he commanded them, so much the more widely they proclaimed 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.

³⁷They were astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well. He makes even the deaf hear, and the mute speak!”

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