¹Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem, saying,

¹Huailai in, Jerusalem khua a om Pharisaite leh laigelhmite Jesu kiang ah a hong ua,

²“Why do your disciples disobey the tradition of the elders? For they don’t wash their hands when they eat bread.”

²Bangdia na nungzuite upate thugousiah a talek nak uh ahia? tanghou a nek chiang un a khut uh a sil ngeikei uh, a chi ua.

³He answered them, “Why do you also disobey the commandment of God because of your tradition?

³Huan, aman tuh a kiang uah, Nou leng bang dia na thugousiah ziak ua Pathian thupiak a talek na hi ua?

⁴ For God commanded, ‘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

⁴Pathian in, Na nu leh na pa zah in, Kuapeuh a nu hiam a pa hiam gensia tuh si ngeingei heh, a chi ngal a.

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,”

⁵Nou bel, Kuapeuh a nu hiam a pa hiam kiang a, Non zatna ding Pathian kiang a piak a hita, chi peuhmah in,

⁶ he shall not honor his father or mother.’ You have made the commandment of God void because of your tradition.

⁶a nu leh a pa a zah ding a hikei, na chi ua. Huchiin na thugousiah ziak un Pathian thu tuh bangmahlou na suah uh.

⁷ You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,

⁷Nou lepchiahte, Isaiin na tungtang thu uh a na genkhol dik mahmah hi.

⁸ ‘These people draw near to me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

⁸Hiai miten a kam un a hon zah ua, himahleh a lungtang un a hon gamlat uhi.

⁹ And in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrine rules made by men.’” Isaiah 29:13

⁹Abang abang hileh, a thuhilhna uah mihing thupiak a hilh ziak un a hon biak uh a thawn mai ahi, chiin, a chi a, a dawng a.

¹⁰He summoned the multitude, and said to them, “Hear, and understand.

¹⁰Huan, mipi a sam a, a kiang uah, Ngaikhia unla, na theisiam un;

¹¹ That which enters into the mouth doesn’t defile the man; but that which proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man.”

¹¹Kam a lut mihing hihnin a pang ahi kei; himahleh kam a pawt in, huai ngei in mihing a hihnin ahi zaw, a chi a.

¹²Then the disciples came, and said to him, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended, when they heard this saying?”

¹²Huailai in a nungzuite a hongpai ua, a kiang ah, Pharisaiten huai thu a zak ua a lungkimlouhdan uh na thei hia? a chi ua.

¹³But he answered, “Every plant which my heavenly Father didn’t plant will be uprooted.

¹³Aman tuh, Kung tengteng ka Pa van a om suanlouh tuh bohkhiak in a om ding.

¹⁴ Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind. If the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit.”

¹⁴Amaute awlmoh kei un: mittaw makai ahi uh; huchi in mittaw in mittaw mah a pi leh kokhuk ah a ke khawm ding uh, a chi a, a dawng a.

¹⁵Peter answered him, “Explain the parable to us.”

¹⁵Huan, Peter in a kiang ah, Huai gentehna thu hon hilhchian tanla, chi in a dong a.

¹⁶So Jesus said, “Do you also still not understand?

¹⁶Huan aman, Tutan a nou leng theihna neilou a om nalai na hi umaw?

¹⁷ Don’t you understand that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the belly, and then out of the body?

¹⁷Kam a lut peuhmah gil ah a ke khia a, dailenna ah paihkhiak in a om chih na theikei ua hia?

¹⁸ But the things which proceed out of the mouth come out of the heart, and they defile the man.

¹⁸Kam a pawtte bel lungtang a hong pawt ahi ua: huaite ngeingei in mihing a hihnin nak.

¹⁹ For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual sins, thefts, false testimony, and blasphemies.

¹⁹Lungtang a kipan in ngaihtuahna giloute, tualthahnate, angkawmnate, kingaihnate, guktaknate, heknate, gensiatnate a hong pawt nak;

²⁰ These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands doesn’t defile the man.”

²⁰huaite ahi mihing hihnin; khut sil lou a an nek in mi a hihnin kei, a chi a.

²¹Jesus went out from there, and withdrew into the region of Tyre and Sidon.

²¹Huan, Jesu hiai a kipan a pawt a, Tura leh Sidon uk ah a paita.

²²Behold, a Canaanite woman came out from those borders, and cried, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, you son of David! My daughter is severely demonized!”

²²Huan, ngaidih, huai gam a kipan Kanan numei khat a hong pawt a, Toupa, David Tapa, ka tungah zahngai in, ka tanu dawi in lungkhamhuaipi in a man a, chi in, a kikou a.

²³But he answered her not a word. His disciples came and begged him, saying, “Send her away; for she cries after us.”

²³Aman bel kam khat in leng a dawngkei. Huan, a nungjuite'n, I nung ah a kikou a kikou ngal a, paisak mai tanla, chi in a hon ngen ua.

²⁴But he answered, “I wasn’t sent to anyone but the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”

²⁴Aman bel, Israel nam lak a belam mangte kiang lou ngal ah sawl ka hikei a chi a, a dawng a.

²⁵But she came and worshiped him, saying, “Lord, help me.”

²⁵Himahleh, numei tuh a hong pai a, Toupa hon huh in, chi in, chibai a buk a.

²⁶But he answered, “It is not appropriate to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”

²⁶Huan, aman, Tate tanghou laksak a, uite kiang a paih a kilawm kei, a chi a, a dawng a.

²⁷But she said, “Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”

²⁷Huan, aman, Toupa, hih jaw ahi a; himahleh, uiten leng a pu uh dohkan a kipan a tanghou nen kia a ne jel sam ve ua oi, a chi a.

²⁸Then 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.

²⁸Huaitak in Jesun a kiang ah, Numei, na ginna thupi na tel e; na deih bang tak in na tungah om hen, a chi a, a dawng a, Huchi in a tanu tuh, huaihun ngei in a hong damta.

²⁹Jesus departed there, and came near to the sea of Galilee; and he went up into the mountain, and sat there.

²⁹Huan, Jesu huai a kipan a pai a, Galili dil kiang a hongtung a: huan, tang ah a paitou a, huailai ah a tuta a.

³⁰Great 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,

³⁰Huan, mipi tampitak, khebaite, mittawte, pautheiloute, piangsualte leh midang tampi honpi in, a kiang ah a hongpai ua; huan, a na hihdam chiatta.

³¹so that the multitude wondered when they saw the mute speaking, injured whole, lame walking, and blind seeing—and they glorified the God of Israel.

³¹Huchi in, mipin pautheiloute hong pau a, piangsualte hong hoih a, khebaite khe a pai a, mittawte'n hon mutheita uh chih a muh un lamdang a sa mahmah ua; huchi in Israelte Pathian tuh a phatta uh.

³²Jesus summoned his disciples and said, “I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue 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.”

³²Huan, Jesun a nungjuite a sam a, Mipite tu in ni thum ka kiang ah a omta ua, nek ding bangmah a neihlouh jiak un, ka hehpih mahmah; anngawl in ka paisak utkei hi, huchilou in jaw lamkal ah a bah kha ding uh, a chi a.

³³The disciples said to him, “Where should we get so many loaves in a deserted place as to satisfy so great a multitude?”

³³Huan, nungjuiten tuh a kiang ah, Mipi hiai zahzah vahna khop tanghou hu zahzah gamdai ah koi a kipan in i mu dia? A chi ua.

³⁴Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven, and a few small fish.”

³⁴Huan, Jesun a kiang uah, Tanghou phel bangzah na nei ua? A chi a. Huan, amau tuh a kiang ah, Phel sagih, nga neu tawmchik toh, a chi ua.

³⁵He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground;

³⁵Huan, aman tuh lei a tu ding in mipite thu a pia a.

³⁶and 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.

³⁶Huan, tanghou phel sagih leh ngate a la a, kipahthu a gen a, a balkham a, nungzuite kiang ah a pia a, huan nungjuiten mipite kiang ah a pe sawn uh.

³⁷They all ate, and were filled. They took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over.

³⁷Huan, a vek un a ne ua, a vah chiat ta ua; anek val nen uleng, bawmpi sagih dim a ngah uh.

³⁸Those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.

³⁸A nete tuh numei leh naupang simlouh in, piching ngen leng sangli ahi uh.Huan mipite a sawl mang nung in long ah a tuang a. Magadan gam a hongtungta.

³⁹Then he sent away the multitudes, got into the boat, and came into the borders of Magdala.

³⁹Huan mipite a sawl mang nung in long ah a tuang a. Magadan gam a hongtungta.
