Berean Standard Bible
1To naah Jerusalem vangpui hoiah Farasinawk hoi thoemto ca tarik kaminawk Jesu khaeah angzoh o moe,
1Then some Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and asked,
2tipongah nang hnukbang kaminawk mah kacoehtanawk ih lok to aek o loe? Nihcae loe buhcaak naah ban amsae o ai, tiah a naa o.
2“Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They do not wash their hands before they eat.”
3Jesu mah nihcae khaeah, To tiah nahaeloe tipongah nangcae mah doeh nangmacae ih khosakhaih dan hoiah Sithaw ih kaalok to na aek o toeng loe?
3Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition?
4Sithaw mah paek ih lok mah loe, Nam no hoi nam pa saiqat ah: ampa maw, to tih ai boeh loe amno maw loksae bah kami loe, dueh nasoe, tiah thuih.
4For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother’ and ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’
5Toe nangcae mah loe, Mi kawbaktih doeh ampa maw, to tih ai boeh loe amno khaeah maw, Kai khae hoi na hak han koi abomhaih boih loe, Sithaw ih tangqum ah ni oh boeh, tiah thui nahaeloe,
5But you say that if anyone says to his father or mother, ‘Whatever you would have received from me is a gift devoted to God,’
6anih mah ampa hoi amno saiqat han angai ai boeh, tiah na thuih o, to tiah nangmacae ih atawk pongah Sithaw ih lok to tidoeh avang ai ah na suek o.
6he need not honor his father or mother with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition.
7Angsah thaih kaminawk, Isaiah mah,
7You hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied correctly about you:
8hae kaminawk loe pakha hoiah kai khaeah anghnaih o moe, pahni hoiah kai ang pakoeh o; toe palung loe kai khae hoiah angthla o, tiah nangcae kawng thuih coek ih lok to oh boeh.
8‘These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me.
9Nihcae loe azom pui ah ni kai ang bok o, kaminawk mah thuih ih lok ni patuk o lat, tiah thuih ih lok loe amsoem tangak, tiah a naa.
9They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’”
10Anih mah paroeai kaminawk to kawk moe, Tahngai oh loe, thaih kop oh:
10Jesus called the crowd to Him and said, “Listen and understand.
11pakha thungah akun hmuen mah kami amhnongsak ai; pakha thung hoi tacawt hmuen mah ni, kami to amhnongsak, tiah a naa.
11A man is not defiled by what enters his mouth, but by what comes out of it.”
12To pacoengah a hnukbang kaminawk angzoh o moe, anih khaeah, Farasinawk mah hae lok thaih o naah palung hoih o ai, tito na panoek maw? tiah a naa o.
12Then the disciples came to Him and said, “Are You aware that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this?”
13Toe anih mah, Van ih ampa mah thling ai ih thingkung loe, aphong boih tih.
13But Jesus replied, “Every plant that My heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by its roots.
14Nihcae to om o taak duem ah: nihcae loe mikmaeng zaehoikung mikmaeng ah ni oh o. Mikmaeng mah mikmaeng to zaehoi nahaeloe, tangqom thungah krah hoi hmaek tih, tiah a naa.
14Disregard them! They are blind guides. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.”
15Piter mah anih khaeah, Hae patahhaih lok hae kaicae khaeah kamtuengah na thui ah, tiah a naa.
15Peter said to Him, “Explain this parable to us.”
16Jesu mah, Nangcae doeh vaihi khoek to na panoek o thai ai vop maw?
16“Do you still not understand?” Jesus asked.
17Pakha thungah akun hmuen loe zokthungah caeh boih moe, aek ah tacawt boih, tito na panoek o ai maw?
17“Do you not yet realize that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then is eliminated?
18Toe pakha thung hoi tacawt hmuen loe palung thung hoiah ni tacawt; to hmuennawk mah loe kami to amhnongsak.
18But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these things defile a man.
19Poeksethaih, kami humhaih, zu sava laep ah zaehaih, daan ai ah zae sakhaih, paqukhaih, kahoih ai hnukung ah angdoethaih, Sithaw kasae thuihaihnawk loe palung thung hoiah ni tacawt.
19For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, and slander.
20Hae hmuennawk mah ni kami to amhnongsak: toe ban amsae ai ah buhcaakhaih mah kami amhnongsak ai, tiah a naa.
20These are what defile a man, but eating with unwashed hands does not defile him.”
21Jesu loe to ahmuen hoiah tacawt moe, Tura hoi Sidon vangpui bangah caeh.
21Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the district of Tyre and Sidon.
22Khenah, Kanaan nongpata maeto loe angmah prae hoiah angzoh moe, anih khaeah, Angraeng, David capa, ka nuiah palungnathaih tawn raeh; ka canu loe taqawk mah naeh moe, patangkhang parai boeh, tiah a naa.
22And a Canaanite woman from that region came to Him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is miserably possessed by a demon.”
23Toe anih mah lok pakha to doeh pathim pae ai. To pongah a hnukbang kaminawk loe anih khaeah caeh o moe, nongpata to kalah bangah caehsak ving ah; anih loe aicae hnukah hangh khing, tiah a naa o.
23But Jesus did not answer a word. So His disciples came and urged Him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.”
24Anih mah, Kai loe kalah kaminawk khaeah patoeh ai, tuu kanghmaa kanghmaa Israel imthung khae khue ah ni patoeh, tiah a naa.
24He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
25To naah nongpata to angzoh moe, a hmaa ah cangkrawn hoiah Angraeng, na bom ah, tiah a naa.
25The woman came and knelt before Him. “Lord, help me!” she said.
26Anih mah, Nawktanawk ih takaw to lak moe, uinawk khaeah vah pae han hoih ai, tiah a naa.
26But Jesus replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”
27To nongpata mah, Loktang ni, Angraeng: toe uinawk mah doeh angraeng ih caboi nui hoi kakrah caaknoi to caak o toeng bae, tiah a naa.
27“Yes, Lord,” she said, “even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”
28Jesu mah anih khaeah, Nongpata, na tanghaih loe thuk parai! Na koehhaih baktiah nang khaeah om nasoe, tiah a naa. To na atue thuem hoiah a canu to ngantui roep.
28“O woman,” Jesus answered, “your faith is great! Let it be done for you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.
29Jesu loe to ahmuen hoiah caeh moe, Kalili tuipui taengah angzoh; mae nuiah a dawh tahang moe, to ah anghnut.
29Moving on from there, Jesus went along the Sea of Galilee. Then He went up on a mountain and sat down.
30Pop parai kaminawk anih khaeah angzoh o, khokkhaem, mikmaeng, lokaa, khok ban akoep ai kaminawk hoi kalah pop parai kaminawk to anih khokkung ah angzoh o haih, anih mah to kaminawk to ngantuisak boih:
30Large crowds came to Him, bringing the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and laid them at His feet, and He healed them.
31lokaa doeh lok apaeh moe, khok ban akoep ai kaminawk doeh ngantui o, khokkhaem kaminawk lam a caeh o thaih, mikmaeng doeh mik amtueng: pop parai kaminawk mah to baktih hmuennawk to hnuk o naah dawnrai o moe, Israel Sithaw to saphaw o.
31The crowd was amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled restored, the lame walking, and the blind seeing. And they glorified the God of Israel.
32To pacoengah Jesu mah a hnukbang kaminawk angmah khaeah kawk moe, Hae kaminawk nuiah tahmenhaih ka tawnh, nihcae loe tidoeh caa ai ah, kai khaeah ni thumto thung oh o boeh; zok kamthlam ah caehsak han ka koeh ai, to tih ai nahaeloe loklam ah thazok o moeng tih, tiah a naa.
32Then Jesus called His disciples to Him and said, “I have compassion for this crowd, because they have already been with Me three days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry, or they may faint along the way.”
33A hnukbang kaminawk mah anih khaeah, Kami hae zetto zok amhah hanah praezaek ah naa ih takaw maw ka hnu o tih? tiah a naa o.
33The disciples replied, “Where in this desolate place could we find enough bread to feed such a large crowd?”
34Jesu mah nihcae khaeah, Takaw nazet to maw na tawnh o? tiah a naa. Nihcae mah takaw kae sarihto hoi tanga zetta oh, tiah a naa o.
34“How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked. “Seven,” they replied, “and a few small fish.”
35To naah anih mah to ah kaom pop parai kaminawk long ah anghnut o hanah lok a paek.
35And He instructed the crowd to sit down on the ground.
36Takaw kae sarihto hoi tanga to a lak moe, anghoehaih lawk a thuih, a aeh pacoengah, a hnukbang kaminawk khaeah a paek, a hnukbang kaminawk mah pop parai kaminawk khaeah pazet o.
36Taking the seven loaves and the fish, He gave thanks and broke them. Then He gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people.
37Nihcae loe caak o moe, zok amhah o boih: nihcae mah caaknoi to phromh o naah, benthang sarihto koi.
37They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
38To ah buhcaa kaminawk boih loe nawkta hoi nongpata thui ai ah, nongpa ngai sang palito oh o.
38A total of four thousand men were fed, in addition to women and children.
39Pop parai kaminawk caehsak pacoengah, palong thungah akun moe, Magdala avang taengah a caeh.
39After Jesus had dismissed the crowds, He got into the boat and went to the region of Magadan.
