1Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus,
1Jerusalem hoiah angzo ca tarik thoemto kaminawk hoi Farasinawk Jesu khaeah amkhueng o.
2and they saw some of His disciples eating with hands that were defiled—that is, unwashed.
2To naah a hnukbang kaminawk loe kaciim ah buhcaa o ai, tiah nihcae mah hnuk o (thuih koehhaih loe ban amsae ai ah buh caak o pongah kasae ah a hnuk o).
3Now in holding to the tradition of the elders, the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat until they wash their hands ceremonially.
3Farasinawk hoi Judahnawk boih loe ban amsae ai ah, buh caa o ai, saning coeh kaminawk loe khosak kangquem to patawn o caeng vop.
4And on returning from the market, they do not eat unless they wash. And there are many other traditions for them to observe, including the washing of cups, pitchers, kettles, and couches for dining.
4Hmuenmae zawhhaih ahmuen ih hmuennawk cae loe pasae ai ah loe caa o ai. Boengloeng, laom sabaenawk, khaang laomnawk hoi caboinawk to pasaeh khue khawt ai, kalah atawknawk doeh kacakah patawnh o moe, pazui o.
5So the Pharisees and scribes questioned Jesus: “Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders? Instead, they eat with defiled hands.”
5Topongah Farasinawk hoi ca tarik kaminawk mah, tipongah nang hnukbang kaminawk loe kacoehtanawk mah thuih ih lok to pazui o ai moe, ban amsae ai ah buh a caak o loe? tiah lok a dueng o.
6Jesus answered them, “Isaiah prophesied correctly about you hypocrites, as it is written: ‘These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me.
6Anih mah nihcae khaeah, Isaiah mah nangcae angsah thaih kami kawng tarik ih oh, Hae kaminawk loe pakha hoiah kai ang saphaw o, toe nihcae ih palungthin loe kai khae hoi angthla o.
7They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’
7Atho kaom ai anui aphawn hoiah kai ang bok o moe, kaminawk mah sak ih loknawk to ni patuk o, tiah thuih.
8You have disregarded the commandment of God to keep the tradition of men.”
8Sithaw mah paek ih loknawk to na vah o moe, kaminawk ih atawk mah, boengloeng hoi laom sabaenawk pasaeh han angaih, tiah patuk ih kaminawk ih atawk hoi kalah hmuennawk to kacakah na patawnh o lat, tiah a naa.
9He went on to say, “You neatly set aside the command of God to maintain your own tradition.
9Anih mah nihcae khaeah, Nangmacae khosakhaih atawk to na pazui o thai hanah, Sithaw ih kaalok to na vah o ving.
10For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’ and ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’
10Mosi mah, Nam no hoi nam pa to saiqat ah; mi kawbaktih doeh amno maw, to tih ai boeh loe ampa maw kasae thui kami loe, paduek han oh, tiah thuih:
11But you say that if a man says to his father or mother, ‘Whatever you would have received from me is Corban’ (that is, a gift devoted to God),
11toe nangcae mah loe, Mi kawbaktih doeh amno maw, to tih ai boeh loe ampa khaeah maw, Kai khae hoi atho hnuk han koi kaom hmuennawk boih loe Korban ah ni oh, (to hmuen loe tangqum tiah thuih koehhaih ih ni,) tiah thui nahaeloe, anih loe loih boeh.
12he is no longer permitted to do anything for his father or mother.
12Anih mah amno hoi ampa khetzawn han angaih ai boeh, tiah na thuih pae o;
13Thus you nullify the word of God by the tradition you have handed down. And you do so in many such matters.”
13to tiah nangmacae ih khosak kangquem hoiah Sithaw ih lok atho kaom ai ah na sak o: hae baktih kalah pop parai hmuennawk doeh na sak o vop, tiah a naa.
14Once again Jesus called the crowd to Him and said, “All of you, listen to Me and understand:
14Anih mah paroeai kaminawk to angmah khaeah kawk moe, nihcae khaeah, nangcae boih mah tahngai oh loe, thaikophaih to tawn oh:
15Nothing that enters a man from the outside can defile him; but the things that come out of a man, these are what defile him.”
15tasa bang hoi kami takpum thungah akun, kami amhnongsak thaih hmuen tidoeh om ai: toe kami takpum thung hoi tacawt hmuen mah ni kami to amhnongsak.
no verse 16 in this text
16Mi kawbaktih doeh thaihaih naa tawn kami loe, thai nasoe, tiah a naa.
17After Jesus had left the crowd and gone into the house, His disciples inquired about the parable.
17Pop parai kaminawk to a caehtaak moe, imthung ah akun pacoengah, a hnukbang kaminawk mah patahhaih lok to dueng o.
18“Are you still so dull?” He asked. “Do you not understand? Nothing that enters a man from the outside can defile him,
18Anih mah nihcae khaeah, Nangcae doeh na thaih o kop ai maw? Tasa bang hoi kami takpum thungah akun kawbaktih hmuen mah doeh, kami to amhnongsak thai ai, tito na panoek o ai maw?
19because it does not enter his heart, but it goes into the stomach and then is eliminated.” (Thus all foods are clean.)
19To hmuen loe kami palung thungah akun ai, zok thungah ni akunh, zok thung ih caaknaeknawk to ciimsak pacoengah, aek ah tacawt, tiah a naa.
20He continued: “What comes out of a man, that is what defiles him.
20Anih mah, Kami takoh thung hoi angzo hmuen mah ni, kami to amhnongsak thaih.
21For from within the hearts of men come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,
21A thung hoiah loe kasae poekhaih, zu sava laep ah zae sakhaih, daan ai ah nongpa nongpata zae sakhaih, kami humhaih,
22greed, wickedness, deceit, debauchery, envy, slander, arrogance, and foolishness.
22paqukhaih, uthaih, poeksethaih, alinghaih, zae sak koehhaih, khithaih, loksae thuihaih, amoekhaih, amthuhaih:
23All these evils come from within, and these are what defile a man.”
23hae kasae hmuennawk boih loe kami takoh thung hoiah angzoh moe, kami to amhnongsak, tiah a naa.
24Jesus left that place and went to the region of Tyre. Not wanting anyone to know He was there, He entered a house, but was unable to escape their notice.
24Anih loe to ahmuen hoiah angthawk moe, Tura hoi Sidon prae bangah a caeh, minawk mah panoek han ai ah, im maeto thungah akun, toe anih loe anghawk thai ai.
25Instead, a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit soon heard about Jesus, and she came and fell at His feet.
25Taqawk sae tawn nongpata ih amno mah anih angzohhaih tamthang to thaih naah, anih khaeah angzoh moe, a hma ah cangkrawn pae:
26Now she was a Greek woman of Syrophoenician origin, and she kept asking Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter.
26to nongpata loe Syrophonicia prae ah kaom Grik kami ah oh; a canu ih takoh thung hoiah taqawk haek pae hanah, anih khaeah tahmenhaih a hnik.
27“First let the children have their fill,” He said. “For it is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”
27Jesu mah anih khaeah, Nawktanawk zok kamhah ah caa o rae nasoe: nawktanawk ih buh to lak pae ving moe, uinawk khaeah paek han hoih ai, tiah a naa.
28“Yes, Lord,” she replied, “even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”
28To nongpata mah, Ue, Angraeng; toe uinawk mah loe caboi tlim ah kakrah nawktanawk ih caaknoi to a caak o bae, tiah a naa.
29Then Jesus told her, “Because of this answer, you may go. The demon has left your daughter.”
29To tiah thuih ih lok pongah, Anih mah nongpata khaeah caeh lai ah; taqawk sae loe na canu takoh thung hoi tacawt boeh, tiah a naa.
30And she went home and found her child lying on the bed, and the demon was gone.
30To nongpata loe angmah im ah amlaem, to naah a canu takoh thung hoiah taqawk to tacawt boeh moe, iihkhun nuiah ka-iip a canu to a hnuk.
31Then Jesus left the region of Tyre and went through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee and into the region of the Decapolis.
31Tura hoi Sidon vangpui to tacawt taak moe, Dekapolis prae thung hoiah Kalili tuipui bangah a caeh.
32Some people brought to Him a man who was deaf and hardly able to speak, and they begged Jesus to place His hand on him.
32To ahmuen ah naa pangh moe, lok doeh ka-aa kami maeto, anih khaeah hoih o; a nuiah ban koeng pae hanah tahmenhaih a hnik pae o.
33So Jesus took him aside privately, away from the crowd, and put His fingers into the man’s ears. Then He spit and touched the man’s tongue.
33Anih mah to kami to pop parai kaminawk salak hoiah ahmuen kalah bangah caeh haih, anih ih naa khaw to ban pazung hoiah tapawh pae, tamtui pathoih pae moe, palai to a sui pae;
34And looking up to heaven, He sighed deeply and said to him, “Ephphatha!” (which means, “Be opened!”).
34van bangah doeng tahang moe, kasawkah anghah pacoengah, Eph-phatha, tiah a thuih, thuih koehhaih loe, Am-ong lai ah, tih haih ih ni.
35Immediately the man’s ears were opened and his tongue was released, and he began to speak plainly.
35Akra ai ah to kami ih naa to amongh pae moe, palai thaqui doeh naem pae boeh pongah, kahoihah lok apaeh thai roep.
36Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone. But the more He ordered them, the more widely they proclaimed it.
36Mi khaeah doeh thui hmah, tiah a naa: toe nihcae mah kanung aep ah a thuih o.
37The people were utterly astonished and said, “He has done all things well! He makes even the deaf hear and the mute speak!”
37To ah kaom kaminawk loe dawnrai o boih, anih loe hmuen boih kahoihah sak: naapang kami to naa amongsak moe, lokaa doeh lok apaehsak, tiah a thuih o.
