Matthew 15 (LGA)

1Ego pa liguna isa sa na koko veidi pa Jerusalema qai kamu sira kaki Parese beto ira qai vaivagigalainia na Vavanau ko qai lao nanasia si Jisu, pira qarigu,Then some Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and asked,

2<<Ai sa vei sa ira na sepele tamu qai majai na uana tututidi tadira na oda tite? Ura qaike loqa lima momoe mai beto qai teteku,>> qarigu sira.“Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They do not wash their hands before they eat.”

3Poni sa oeria i Jisu, pira sauniria, <<Goto agou sa ai sa vei ko qu majai sa na garunu tana Tamasa ko qu tutia gu agou sa na miu uana tututidi mekamiu?Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition?

4Ura sa paranga sa na Tamasa, <Mu valavatia na tinamu na tamamu,> sau, beto ko, <Isa sa poja vivikeria na tinana beto na tamana sa mina tavamate,> sau.For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother’ and ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’

5Ba agou sa qu paranga tu sa vei kai tinoni bi parangia na tinana babi na tamana, pira biunia, <Na sakasava api sa pada ba boka tokanigo ao, ba qa tei valao vania tu na Tamasa ara,> biu,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,’

6poni sa <Minake kilu valavatia isa sa na tinana na tamana ba jongana gu,> qugu sagou. Ko pa soana vei api sa qu vakeporea agou sa na paranga tana Tamasa, ko qu tutia gu agou sa na miu uana tututidi mekamiu.he need not honor his father or mother with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition.

7Na tinoni jola vavabatamiu na sesekemiu sagou! Sa sotona gu sa i Aisea tonai sa ululenia na veveimiu agou:You hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied correctly about you:

8<Ira na tinoni aipira sa qai valavatasiu sara pa beberu mangadi gu, goto na bulodi sa sou vivitigi taqu.‘These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me.

9Na goborona gu sa na dia vinatarasaequ ara, qai vaivagigalainiria na vaivagigalaidi na vinaturu tadira na tinoni gu,> sau,>> sau si Jisu.They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’”

10Ego beto sa kuku valameria i Jisu sira na minete tinoni, ko pira sauniria, <<Mu vainongoro ko mu vakoititia sa isa vei mana pojai ara!Jesus called the crowd to Him and said, “Listen and understand.

11Nake isa sa teku ponyolia pa mangana na tinoni sa sa vapajia sa na ona toa, goto ira tu na sakasava qai votu lame vei pa mangana sa qai vapajia sisa,>> sau si Jisu.A man is not defiled by what enters his mouth, but by what comes out of it.”

12Beto sa qai lame ti Jisu sira na ona sepele ko pira qarigunia, <<Qu gigilaimua tugu beka ao sa qaike qerania ira na Parese sira vei qu pojaria ao?>> qarigu.Then the disciples came to Him and said, “Are You aware that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this?”

13Poni sa oeria i Jisu, pira sauniria, <<Doru umuma sake umaniria na Tamaqu pa noka sa mai tasobulu gogona pale beto.But Jesus replied, “Every plant that My heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by its roots.

14Ko muke pavu takulanganiria sira. Ira na tinoni vaitoni leleqadi sira. Ba vei na tinoni vaitoni leleqana sa mina tonia sa kai tinoni leleqana mutugu, sa kode ira karu doru sa mai mekarai vukele beto pa kai oqili,>> sau sisa.Disregard them! They are blind guides. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.”

15Poni sa oe lao i Pita, pira saunia, <<Mu vakabere vatalea moko tamigei sa na vaivagigalai qu pojaniria ira na Parese api?>> sau.Peter said to Him, “Explain this parable to us.”

16Poni pira sau i Jisu, <<Ko agou ba qu korapa tugu rururamiu sa?“Do you still not understand?” Jesus asked.

17Quke vakoinonoa tu agou sa na sakasava sa gania pa mangana na tinoni sa sa gore gu kole pa borina na tinoni beto sa votu riuona gu?“Do you not yet realize that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then is eliminated?

18Goto ira tu qai votu vei pa manga sa na koko veidi pa bulo, ko ira tu sa qai vapajia na toa tana tinoni.But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these things defile a man.

19Ura na koko lame veidi pa bulo sira na roroqu ikikeredi, na varivai, na babarata, na toa lulasana, na ikiko, na jutu sesekeria na goto tinoni, beto na poja vivikereria na goto tinoni.For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, and slander.

20Aipira tu sira qai vapajia na toa tana tinoni. Goto nake loqa lima mai beto na teteku sa sake vapajia na toa tana tinoni sisa,>> sau si Jisu.These are what defile a man, but eating with unwashed hands does not defile him.”

21Ego sa iolo ketakoi si Jisu ko sa taloa riuona pa pikata ia pa Turosi beto pa Sidoni.Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the district of Tyre and Sidon.

22Ko sa taloa lame sa kai rereko Kenani na susuverena pa gugusu isa, ko sa kuku lulukana lao tai Jisu, <<Kei, Bangara! Ao na Tuna i Devita! Mei ko mu roroqu tokanisiu! Na tuqu rereko sa sa tomea na tomate ikikerena, ko sa mo vivitigi,>> sau sisa.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.”

23Ba sake pavu vagalania i Jisu sisa. Beto qai lame sira na sepele ko qai kole tepa totokai pira qarigunia sisa, <<Mu iju vamule riua! Sa korapa lukana tututigita gita sina!>> qarigu.But Jesus did not answer a word. So His disciples came and urged Him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.”

24Poni pira sau si Jisu, <<Ara sa qa tagarunu ko mana lao tadira na tinoni Izireli gu qai muma vei na sipi,>> sau sisa.He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”

25Totonai sa sa rerege lao tu sa na rereko api ko sa lao toqo sori tutungu pa moena i Jisu ko pira sau, <<Tokanisiu, Bangara!>> sau.The woman came and knelt before Him. “Lord, help me!” she said.

26Poni sa oe i Jisu, pira saunia, <<Nake jongana sa bi tateku sa na gagani tadira na koburu ko bi tavalao vaniria na sie tapausudi pa ruma,>> sau sisa.But Jesus replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”

27Poni pira sau sa na rereko api, <<Sotomua tugu Bangara, ba ira na sie pausudi kisa ba qai kole gu vera gagani vuvusudi pa tevolo tadira qai pausuria,>> sau sa na rereko.“Yes, Lord,” she said, “even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”

28Poni sa oe i Jisu, pira saunia, <<Koi tinaqu, na lavatana jola sa na mua vasosoto! Mi taroiti vanigo tu ropi sa isa vei qu nyoguania ao,>> sau. Ko na totoso tugu isa sa sa tasalana sa na tuna rereko isa.“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.

29Ego sa taloa ketakoi si Jisu ko sa poana vei pa ovuku Qalili, beto sa sagere saea isa sa kai kubo ko sa toqo ketakoi.Moving on from there, Jesus went along the Sea of Galilee. Then He went up on a mountain and sat down.

30Ego ko qai vaikamu lame tana sira soku pupuku minete tinoni. Qai okoto toni lameniria ira tana sira qai qao, ira sa mate kale kaki kobu tinidi, ira na leqa, ira na poka beto kubo tinoni mo mule. Ko qai lao loaria pa kekerena i Jisu, ko sa salana betoria i Jisu.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.

31Ko qai gabara beto sira na tinoni tonai qai batia na poka sa paranga, ira sa mate kale na tinidi qai jonga ligu, na qao sa rerege beto na leqa ba sa babata. Ko qai vatarasaea ira sa na Tamasa tadira na tinoni Izireli.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.

32Ego sa kuku tekuria i Jisu sira na ona sepele ko pira sauniria, <<Qa roroqu vivitigiria ara sira na tinoni pira, ura tei kue ranedi tu sa qai kole tututi taqu ko kopira sa kepore kai sava mai tekua. Qake nyoguania ara sa ba garunu variu buburanaria, ura kode mai rake ko mai tabubulo pa soana,>> sau sisa.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.”

33Poni qai parangia sira na ona sepele, <<E, ba na minete tinoni lavata sapi ko pai tana boka teku gagani ko tana vateteku vapoteniria sa pa ia kaloina vei pira?>> qarigu sira.The disciples replied, “Where in this desolate place could we find enough bread to feed such a large crowd?”

34<<Ka visa bereti sa qu isongia?>> sau si Jisu. <<Ka vitu gu, beto ko ka visa igana ikikete gu,>> qarigu sira.“How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked. “Seven,” they replied, “and a few small fish.”

35Poni sa pojaniria i Jisu sira na minete tinoni ko qai toqo beto pa peso.And He instructed the crowd to sit down on the ground.

36Beto sa tekuria isa sa ka vitu bereti beto vei tugu na igana, ko sa paranga jongananiria, beto sa kikiparia, ko sa vaniria ira na sepele ko ira na sepele qai ia lao vaniria na minete tinoni.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.

37Ko qai teteku beto sira doru tinoni, ko qai pote vatale beto. Beto sa qai tekuria ira na sepele sa ka vitu totopa, ko qai vapugele nyonyoaniria na gagani kole joladi.They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

38Ko na anyedi ira na tinoni qai teteku sira ka made tina na marene, goto ira na rereko beto ko ira na koburu sa qaike taanye.A total of four thousand men were fed, besides women and children.

39Ego ko pa liguna sa garunu vamule riuria i Jisu sira na minete tinoni, poni sa sa lao koi pa koaka sisa, ko sa toka lao vei tu pa gugusu pa Magadani.After Jesus had dismissed the crowds, He got into the boat and went to the region of Magadan.
