Matthew 15 (IDC)

1AFarisiyawa kina aghọmẹẹ umẹẹ iMusa ba ukushi iYesu ka Urushelima ki ba ghulu nga,Then some Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and asked,

2“Ikẹmbọ sa ni atina ngọ wura italẹ inga anirakpẹẹ? Aka hwuru bọ ivọ bọ na atọ la imila ba.”“Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They do not wash their hands before they eat.”

3IYesu ba yira bọ si, “Ikẹmbọ sa ni inu ka wura imumani Ọnọng tẹri kaya italẹ nọ?Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition?

4Ka Ọnọng si, ‘Nu ọkpọtọrọ ate ngọ kina ayuu ngọ.’ Ni, ‘Aghọmani acira ate nga kina ayuru nga ni, aki kpoo iyiya.’For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother’ and ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’

5Ni inu ka tẹri si, ‘Imumani aki ma ate nọ kina ayuru nọ ni, inu ka ma Ọnọng.’But you say that if anyone says to his father or mother, ‘Whatever you would have received from me is a gift devoted to God,’

6Ata maa na ate nga ba.’ Kindọ ni inu ta manọ upii Ọnọng ba kaya italẹ nọ.he need not honor his father or mother with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition.

7“Inu, aghọ ju unu ica! Kindii wu ni Ishaya ghila amọ aghaghẹ kaya nu wọ, si,You hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied correctly about you:

8“Ajiya ri ni ibẹlẹ bọ yọ na ka jọọ mi kọ, ni ikwyi bọ shi atọọ kini imẹ,‘These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me.

9ijirija wọ na asọ jọọ mi wọ, aka mẹẹ umẹẹ bajiya kọ taa upii Ọnọng.’”They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’”

10IYesu va yọrọ ajiya nga kukushi nga ki tẹri bọ si, “Inu kọng ki inu kpẹlẹ,Jesus called the crowd to Him and said, “Listen and understand.

11Ba imumani ika ghila anyu ajiya yọ ka sa nga irighe ba, si imumani ikunu ka anyu nga yọ ka sa nga ‘irighe’”A man is not defiled by what enters his mouth, but by what comes out of it.”

12Atina nga va ba ki ghulu nga si, “Ingọ ye si aFarisiyawa kọọ anaa kọ nọ upii ri?”Then the disciples came to Him and said, “Are You aware that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this?”

13IYesu va yira ki ju si, “Nadidu upila mani ba ate mi ka aYaya nga pila ba ni, aki yẹẹ kọ ka akang.But Jesus replied, “Every plant that My heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by its roots.

14Ya bọ ya; afoo bọ aghọ uyeni afoo itra. Insi afoo kpẹnẹ ace afoo ka ashi ni, nadidu bọ ni, aki kpaa kidẹ uhwo.”Disregard them! They are blind guides. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.”

15Ni iBitrus ba ju nga si, “Nyeni ayọ idi ighang upii.”Peter said to Him, “Explain this parable to us.”

16IYesu ba ju nga si, “Ki ta ka aikyua ri ni inu ta kọ kpẹlẹ nọ ba?“Do you still not understand?” Jesus asked.

17Inu ta nu nọ ni nadidu imumani ighila idẹ anyu ka wor kyaa yọ idẹ afo ki va kunu yọ kidẹ ẹrẹnọma ba?“Do you not yet realize that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then is eliminated?

18Ni imumani ikunu kidẹ anyu ba kidẹ ikwyi wọ, iyọ ka sa ajiya irighe.But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these things defile a man.

19Ki idẹ ikwyi yọ ni uwang uju akakiya, kina upili ajiya, uwang ayiri kọ aghimi bajiya, uju uma ẹrẹnọma, uyi, uma upii atẹri kaya ace aghọ kọnọ ubra uca aghọ.For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, and slander.

20Umumani uka sa ajiya irighe budibi. Ula ni avọ umani ahwuru bọ ba ka sa wọ aghọ irighe ba.”These are what defile a man, but eating with unwashed hands does not defile him.”

21IYesu va sang nga kukadu ki kyaa ishii aTaya kina aSidon.Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the district of Tyre and Sidon.

22Ashi kukadu ni, ace ayiri agha aKan’ana ba ukushi nga na asọ ci, “Kọng ahwoo mi, Ate, Anọ iDauda; ushẹẹ ghila anọ mi anayiri na asọ kọng ọlọ nagigang.”And 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.”

23IYesu ta pẹni ni ngaa ba. Ni atina nga ba ki ba sọrọ nga si, “Kla nga! Ka asọ ci na duma ayọ kọ.”But Jesus did not answer a word. So His disciples came and urged Him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.”

24Aba yira si, “A tọrọ tuma mi si iya wang atẹm na avulu bọ kidẹ ọna Israila kọ.”He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”

25Ni ava ba ki ba ta agho kite nga, si, “Ate, sẹ mi kọ.”The woman came and knelt before Him. “Lord, help me!” she said.

26Na ava yira si, “Ushi wọ nọ uyeri na akpaa imila anọ ka ama ava ba.”But Jesus replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”

27Ayiri ba ju si, “Ẹẹ, Ate, ava ma ka la awo umani akpara ki ẹrẹbọ ka imila ate ọna.”“Yes, Lord,” she said, “even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”

28IYesu ba yira nga si, “Ayiri, uma aipang ngọ shina ẹrẹkyuọ! Taani uba kọnọ uwang ngọ ni.” Anọ nga anayiri ba akyuọ ka akyua ra.“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.

29IYesu sang nga kukadu ki ko nga abẹni ẹrẹyẹma aGalili. Aba kila nga aya ọpang kiya cica.Moving on from there, Jesus went along the Sea of Galilee. Then He went up on a mountain and sat down.

30Ikir bajiya va ba ukushi nga, aba nga na agunu, afoo, aghọ uwẹni ifra, agbatọng na abẹbẹ, kina aghọ shẹẹ, ki ba kyo bọ kite nga, aba ma bọ ọkyuọ,Large 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.

31ki ta kọ umani ikir bajiya nga wo ica nọ umani agbatọng sọ pii, aghọ uwẹni ifra ni, ika bọ ba na ẹrẹkyuọ, agunu kyeng, afoo sọ kyoo uka. Ni aba jọọ Ọnọng Israila.The 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.

32IYesu ba yọrọ atina nga ki ju bọ si, “Imẹ hwiri ahwoo bajiya ri ka akọ la awii atai kini imẹ, ata kọ la bọ ighima ba. Imẹ wang mi nu vuu kini bọ ni idafo bọ ba, ka abọ ta na ya kpaa kọ utra.”Then 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.”

33Atina nga ba ju nga si, “Ọkọ ta ajiya ri, abi wu ni ayọ ki peni ubiredi umani ayọ ki cee ajiya ri wọ?”The disciples replied, “Where in this desolate place could we find enough bread to feed such a large crowd?”

34Ni iYesu ba ju bọ si, “Ubiredi umi wu ni inu sọnọ wu?” Asi, “Utinsara, kina anọ itagbo na zẹẹ.”“How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked. “Seven,” they replied, “and a few small fish.”

35Aba sa ajiya nga na acica ki ẹrẹbọ,And He instructed the crowd to sit down on the ground.

36aba kpaa ubiredi utinsara kina itagbo, aya kpẹẹ usa Ọnọng izaa ni, aba wra ki ma atina nga, atina nga ba ma ajiya.Taking 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.

37Kwinga la ki suu, atina nga ba tira awo mani ashẹ ki sa kọ ọkọọ utinsara ki tii wọ.They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

38Aghọmani ala ni ashi aghimi araji usọ anari ki tọ kpaa ayiri kina ananọ.A total of four thousand men were fed, besides women and children.

39Aya shira ajiya nga ni, aba ghila idẹ ọgbọlọ ki kyaa ishẹẹ aMagadan.After Jesus had dismissed the crowds, He got into the boat and went to the region of Magadan.
