Mark 7 (HLTTHB)

1Farasikhqi ingkaw Jerusalem awhkawng ak law caqeekung thlang pynoet ce Jesu a venawh cun uhy,Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus,

2Cawh a hubatkhqi ing kut silh kaana buh ami ai ce hu uhy.and they saw some of His disciples eating with hands that were defiled—that is, unwashed.

3(Farasikhqi ingkaw Judahkhqi boeih ingtaw a mimah a phung amyihna kut a mami silh awhtaw buh am ai uhy. A hqamcakhqi ak awi ce tu khak uhy.Now in holding to the tradition of the elders, the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat until they wash their hands ceremonially.

4Ik-oeih ami zawihnaak hun awhkaw ik-oeihkhqi ce a mami silh ma awhtaw am ai uhy. Ak chang awi a mik pawm khawzah awm nawh boet silh khqi, um am silh khqi ingkaw qawhum silh khqi awm sai uhy.)And 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.

5Cedawngawh Farasikhqi ingkaw anaa awi cawngpyikungkhqi ing doet uhy, “Kawtih na hubatkhqi ing a hqamcakhqi ak awi hquut kaana, kut 'myn' na buh ami ai uh?” tina uhy.So 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.”

6Jesu ing, “Isaiah ing nangmih qaai kqawnkhqi akawng anak kqawn ce thym zawk hy ve: 'Ve ak thlangkhqi ing a mim kha ingtaw ni zoeksang hlai uhy, amik kawlung ing ni lak hla uhy.Jesus 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.

7Phu amak tana ni bawk unawh; ami cawng pyinaak awm thlanghqing a cawng pyinaak mailai na awm hy,' tinawh anak kqawn ce.They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’

8Khawsa awipeekkhqi ce qoek unawh thlanghqing ak awipekkhqi ce ak cak na tu lat uhyk ti,” tinak khqi hy.You have disregarded the commandment of God to keep the tradition of men.”

9Cekcoengawh a mingmih a venawh: Na mimah ak awipekkhqi nami sainaak thai ham Khawsak awipeek qoek unawh khaw sim khoem uhyk ti!He went on to say, “You neatly set aside the command of God to maintain your own tradition.

10Mosi ing, 'Na nu ingkaw na pa zoeksang lah, u awm a nu am awh a pa ham seet ak phoei sih taw thih sak aham awm hy; tinawh anak kqawn hy.For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’ and ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’

11Cehlai nangmih ingtaw, u ingawm a nu venawh am awhtaw a pa venawh; 'Kai a ven awhkawng ikawmyih bawmnaak awm na huh cetaw Korban ni' (cece 'Khawsa venawh pek,' tinaak ni), tina uhy,But 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),

12a nu aham am awhtaw a pa ham bi am bi sak qoe uhyk ti.he is no longer permitted to do anything for his father or mother.

13Cemyihna na mimah ak awipek ing Khawsa ak awi ce hqe uhyk ti. Vemih ik-oeih ak chang khawzah sai uhyk ti,” tinak khqi hy.Thus you nullify the word of God by the tradition you have handed down. And you do so in many such matters.”

14Jesu ing thlang kqeng ce a venna khy nawh a mingmih a venawh, “Nangmih boeih ing ngai unawh zasim lah uh.Once again Jesus called the crowd to Him and said, “All of you, listen to Me and understand:

15Thlang ak kawk khuina anuk lut ik-oeih ikawmyih aawk-ai ingawm thlang tuih am cuk sak hy. Cehlai thlang ak kawk khuina kawng ak cawn law ing ni thlang tuih ang cuk sak.Nothing that enters a man from the outside can defile him; but the things that come out of a man, these are what defile him.”

16U awm zaksimnaak haa ak ta ingtaw za seh nyng,” tinak khqi hy.Not in the BSB

17Thlang kqeng ce a cehtaak coengawh ipkhui na lut nawh, cawh a hubatkhqi ing cawhkaw nyhtahnaak awi ce doet uhy.After Jesus had left the crowd and gone into the house, His disciples inquired about the parable.

18A mingmih a venawh, “Nangmih ingawm am naming zasim nawh nu? A leng nakawng thlang ak kawk khuina ak lut ikawmyih awk-ai ingawm thlang 'tyih' am cuk sak hy, tice am nami sim nawh nu?“Are you still so dull?” He asked. “Do you not understand? Nothing that enters a man from the outside can defile him,

19Ce ik-oeih ce thlang ak kawlung khuina am lut nawh ak phoen khuina ni a luh, cawhkawng awh naat na cawn tlaih hy,” tinak khqi hy. (Ve ak awi ak kqawnnaak awh ve, awk-ai boeih ve “ciimcaih hy” tinawh Jesu ing kqawn hy.)because it does not enter his heart, but it goes into the stomach and then is eliminated.” (Thus all foods are clean.)

20Cekcoengawh, “Thlang ak kawlung khui awhkawng ak cawn law ing ni thlang tuih ang cuk sak hy.He continued: “What comes out of a man, that is what defiles him.

21Cehlai kawlung khui nakaw, thlanghqing kawlung nakawng poeknaak amak thymkhqi cawn hy; kawpoek sangnaak, quuknaak, thlang himnaak,For from within the hearts of men come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,

22samphaihnaak, yytnaak, thawlhnaak, thailatnaak, yy thawhnaak, nainaak, tengkamnaak, oequnaak ingkaw qawnaakkhqi ce law hy.greed, wickedness, deceit, debauchery, envy, slander, arrogance, and foolishness.

23Vawhkaw thawlhnaakkhqi boeih boeih ve thlang ak kawlung khui nakawng law nawh thlang ce tuih cuk sak hy,” tinak khqi hy.All these evils come from within, and these are what defile a man.”

24Jesu ing ce a hun ce cehta nawh Tura khaw benna cet hy. Thlang ing ni hu kaw a ti awh im pynoet ak khuina lut hy; cehlai am thuh qu thai hy.Jesus 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.

25Cawh a canu qaai ing am tu peek nu pynoet ing, anih law hy tice ang zaak awh, law nawh a haiawh khuk sym doena qeennaak thoeh hy.Instead, a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit soon heard about Jesus, and she came and fell at His feet.

26Cawhkaw nu cetaw Syria Phonicia awh ak thang Greek nu na awm hy. A canu ak kawkhui awhkawng qaai hqek peek aham Jesu a venawh qeenaak thoeh hy.Now she was a Greek woman of Syrophoenician origin, and she kept asking Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter.

27Cawh Jesuh ing, “Naasenkhqi ing ak phyi na ai cang useh, naasenkhqi buh ce lawh penawh uikhqi ni peek peek am nep hy,” tina hy.“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.”

28Cawhkaw nu ing, “Oeih, Bawipa, thym hy, cehlai naasenkhqi a ai hawi caboei ak kaina ak baw ce uikhqi ingawm lym lawt u sawkaw,” tina hy.“Yes, Lord,” she replied, “even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”

29Cawh cawhkaw nu a venawh, “Cemyihna kak awi na nim hlat a dawngawh, voei hlah, qaai ing na canu cawn ta hawh hy,” tina hy.Then Jesus told her, “Because of this answer, you may go. The demon has left your daughter.”

30Im na ang voei awhtaw ihkhun awhkaw ak zaih a canu ce hu hy, qaai ing anih ce cawn ta hawh hy.And she went home and found her child lying on the bed, and the demon was gone.

31Jesu ing Tura qam ce cehta nawh Sidon khaw awhkawng Kalili tuili ingkaw Dekapolis qam na ce nu cet hy.Then Jesus left the region of Tyre and went through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee and into the region of the Decapolis.

32Ce a hun awh ang ha pang nawh awi amak pau thai thlang pynoet ce law pyi uhy, ak khan awh kut tloeng peek aham qeennaak thoeh uhy.Some people brought to Him a man who was deaf and hardly able to speak, and they begged Jesus to place His hand on him.

33Jesu ing anih ce thlang kqeng anglakawhkawng ak chang na a cehpyi coengawh, ang ha ce a kut ing pyih pehy. Cimtui a sa coengawh am lai ce bi pe bai hy.So 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.

34Khan benna mang nawh a hyi coengawh, “Ephphata!” (”Awng qu hlah” tinaak) tina hy.And looking up to heaven, He sighed deeply and said to him, “Ephphatha!” (which means, “Be opened!”).

35Cawh thlang ang ha ce khui nawh am lai awm zai hy, ak leek caana awi pau thai pahoei hy.Immediately the man’s ears were opened and his tongue was released, and he began to speak plainly.

36U a venawh awm amak kqawn aham cekkhqi ce awi yn khqi hy. Cehlai cekkhqi ing kqawn khqoet uhy.Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone. But the more He ordered them, the more widely they proclaimed it.

37Anih ing ik-oeih boeih ak leekna sai nawh, hakpangkhqi haa khui sak nawh, pau aakhqi awm pau sak khqi hy,” ti unawh, amik kawpoekna kyi sak uhy.The people were utterly astonished and said, “He has done all things well! He makes even the deaf hear and the mute speak!”
