Matthew 15 (STW)

1Iwe aaemweoi Pharisees me sinsein anniug ra itto reen Jesus saengi Jerusalem nge ra aeiineow pwe,Then some Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and asked,

2“Meeta rhooan kkayeo kkomwu noawumw rese tapweei aar fenai rhaepeto kkewe aarh reen? Rese tapweei wunuunun toatoan pai mmwaen aar repwe mwongo!”“Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They do not wash their hands before they eat.”

3Jesus a paniuwaeniir pwe, “Iwe ina meeta oawse tapweei aaen Deus anniug reen pwe oawwa tapweei ina kkomi?Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition?

4Pwe Deus a aepesa pwe, ‘Wopwe aesirowuur semoamw me inoamw’ iwe me, ‘Iyo e oari seman aere inan nge repwe niiy noa.’For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother’ and ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’

5Nge aaemi oawwa aengaeniir aeremas pwe aere eyor minne erhai epwe tipaengi ngaeni seman aere inan, nge a iura pwe, ‘Ieen aaen Deus,’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,’

6nge ese aenneew igine ese aesirowu no seman. Ieei minne oawwa oatoranoa aaen anniug Deus pwe aaemi oawpwe feeori minna kkomi.he need not honor his father or mother with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition.

7Aaemi rhooa oatupwutupw! A gin weneeti minne we Isaiah e fenaiuw pwe wunuunumi!You hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied correctly about you:

8‘Deus a aepesa pwe: Aeremas kkeei ra oassoamwooniaei rhag reen aar kkepas, nge nee tipeer a igin taaw saengiaei.‘These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me.

9Esooar ipitaen aar aesirowuwaei, pwe re fenaiuw aar aeremas anniug, nge ra feeori pwe aetae gaen aaei anniug!’ ”They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’”

10Iwe Jesus a faingiir to pwuwaen aeremas kkewe nge a aengaeniir pwe, “Oaw aiussaening pwe oawpwe metaf!Jesus called the crowd to Him and said, “Listen and understand.

11Saapw meeta kka etonong noan ewaemi minne epwe aenimaenneewagaemi, pwe faer meeta kka etowow me noan minne a aenimaenneewagaemi.”A man is not defiled by what enters his mouth, but by what comes out of it.”

12Iwe rhooan kkayeo kkewe ra itto reen Jesus nge ra aengaeni pwe, “Wa giuneei pwe ra soong Pharisees kkewe reen meeta we wo aepesa?”Then the disciples came to Him and said, “Are You aware that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this?”

13Jesus a paniuwaeniir pwe, “Oanongan waniwan kka miniwe Semaei noan naaeng ese foatogi epwe wiwiytae.But Jesus replied, “Every plant that My heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by its roots.

14Oawsoapw niunniuwaenneer iir! Iir ikkomwu rhooa parh nge re paaepae rhooa parh. Ngaere erhai man parh e paeni pwan erhai man parh, nge iir me riiurhai repwe ppiungiunong nee niipw.”Disregard them! They are blind guides. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.”

15Peter a aengaeni pwe, “Wopwe aemmetefa ngaenigemaem meeta faaen kkepas eei.”Peter said to Him, “Explain this parable to us.”

16Jesus a aengaeniir pwe, “Oawsaaen metaf noa mwo?“Do you still not understand?” Jesus asked.

17Oawse metaf? Pwe meeta kka a toonong noan ewaemi pwan toonong noan upwaemi, mwirin a toowow me noan oanongaemi.“Do you not yet realize that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then is eliminated?

18Nge meeta kka retowow saengi ewaemi rhaep saengi pwunnomi, nge ikkaan minikka e aenimaenneewagaemi.But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these things defile a man.

19Pwe saengi noan pwunnomi a toowow niunniuwaen aenneew taeppen, nni menaw, maiur ngaeni pwiuniuwaen erhai, ffeeor aenneew, mwoarho, oatupwutupw me aenneewa noa iteer aaemweoi.For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, and slander.

20Ikkaan minikka e aenimaenneewagaemi. Iwe nge erhai e mwongo nge ese tapweei wunuunun toatoan pai, minneen esoapw aenimaenneewagaemi.”These are what defile a man, but eating with unwashed hands does not defile him.”

21Jesus a noa saengi pwiuneoi we nge a noa noan faniuw kkewe oaron aepinoamwon Tyre me Sidon.Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the district of Tyre and Sidon.

22Erhai rhooapwuton Canaan e nonno pwiuneoi we a itto reen, nge a aepwesaegini pwe, “Soamwoon, Naiun David! Faayeowaei! Rhooapwut na naeyi a wartae aniu aenneew wooan nge a igin cchoaw noa.”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.”

23Nge Jesus ese aengaeni mwo eew petenaen kkepas. Rhooan kkayeo kkewe naiun ra itto reen nge ra tingoar gacch ngaeni pwe, “Aefenganoa nieei! Ettapw fetaen rhag me mwirirh nge e igin soaw oacchorong!”But Jesus did not answer a word. So His disciples came and urged Him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.”

24Iwe Jesus a aepesa pwe, “Deus e aefengaeyaei to rhag pwe reer re Israel kkewe ra weer sheep kkewe re mwaenirh noa.”He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”

25Iwe rhag nge rhooapwut we a itto foatotiw weni mmwan nge a iura pwe, “Soamwoon, tipaengiaei!”The woman came and knelt before Him. “Lord, help me!” she said.

26Jesus a paniuwaeni pwe, “Ese mwamwaai pwe sipwe pwigi aeneer wonigaet mwongo nge sa oatora ngaeniir gonaag.”But Jesus replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”

27Iwe niewe a paniuwaeni pwe, “Ennet minna, Soamwoon, nge gonaag mwo nge re angi peipeyin mwongo ppiungiutiw saengi aar maasta table.”“Yes, Lord,” she said, “even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”

28Iwe Jesus a paniuwaeni niewe pwe, “Een erhai rhooapwut e igin faeregit oamw niugiuniug! Meeta na oamw mwerhaen nge epwe yo ngaeniug.” Iwe noan rhag oaton we nge rhooapwut we naiun a takketae.“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.

29Jesus a noa saengi pwiuneoi we nge a noa faaeraeg ngaerhen meoneoiniuniun Galilee. A ittae wooan eew rhug a ittae mooat tiw.Moving on from there, Jesus went along the Sea of Galilee. Then He went up on a mountain and sat down.

30Towunepaen aeremas kkewe ra itto reen, pwigito rhooawe re pirhemae, rhooa parh, rhooa maemerhoar, rhooa se kkepas, me pwan towunepaen aeremas kka re semwaai ra itto iseniir tiw oaron pirheen Jesus; iwe a aecchipwaar tae oanongeer.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.

31Aeremas ra mwaar reen meeta we ra weri pwe igiwe rhooawe rese kkepas ra kkepas, rhooawe re maemerhoar ra mamaaw noa, rhooawe re pirhemae ra faaeraeg, pwan rhooawe reparh ra weri mmweer. Iwe, ra aepingepinga Deus we naiiur re Israel.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.

32Jesus a faingiir to rhooan kkayeo kkewe naiun nge a aengaeniir pwe, “Ngaang iya faayeeor aeremas kaan, pwe ra no reei noan eoniuraen nge esooar meeta minne repwe angi. Ngaang ise mwerhaen aefengaar noa noan aar pecchai, pwe repwe tongaeni niyoarorhrorh iga repwe faaeraeg ngaeni imweer.”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.”

33Rhooan kkayeo kkewe ra aeiineow pwe, “Iya me noan pwiuneoi anniug noa eei minne sipwe weriwer mwongo me ee pwe epwe nap ngaeniir towunepeer aeremas kaan?”The disciples replied, “Where in this desolate place could we find enough bread to feed such a large crowd?”

34Jesus a aeiineeor pwe, “Fitifai fenoawa eyor reemi?” Ra paniuwaeni pwe, “Fiusiufai fenoawa me fitiman iig mwittig.”“How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked. “Seven,” they replied, “and a few small fish.”

35Iwe Jesus a aepesa ngaeniir aeremas kkewe pwe repwe mooat tiw weni ppweon.And He instructed the crowd to sit down on the ground.

36A pwigi fenoawa kkewe fiusiufai me iig kkewe nge a fang ngaeni Deus aan aerhigerhig, a giniytiw nge a ngaenneer rhooan kkayeo kkewe, nge rhooan kkayeo ra ngaeniir aeremas kkewe.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.

37Oanongeer ra mwongo nge ra faeyemwaai. Rhooan kkayeo kkewe ra oawuta fisuuw rhiug reen nusegin mwongo kkewe.They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

38Nneogeoiiur mwaaen kkewe re mwongo nge faangeras, nge rese paaepaenong rhooapwut me wonigaet.A total of four thousand men were fed, besides women and children.

39Iwe Jesus a fangenoa aeremas kkewe, nge a teeotae wooan pwoot we nge a saei ngaeni miniwe faniuwaen Magadan.After Jesus had dismissed the crowds, He got into the boat and went to the region of Magadan.
