Matthew 15 (XSN)

1Na ana ondo ba nyimi maParisa kaa ana o baala angmǝ aka Ashili a nya Mosa nane deya Yeso a ne surǝ ba Urushalima nane bekaa na,Then some Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and asked,

2“Eyaaka atoma au neta tare makili mana Anateandaasau ne? O bena neta sabozo zongka ne lye epaolya ne.”“Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They do not wash their hands before they eat.”

3Na Yeso kabare nee na, “Eyaaka ying eta tare makili ma Ashili ne e tare makili maying?Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition?

4Ashili a bekaa na, ‘Tare ate au, ka iini au, kangza pate ondooka wa zeela ate ka iini wai wa gwara aa wongha wai.’For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother’ and ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’

5Ying e baale na, ‘Pate ondooka wa bekaa ate ka iini wai na, epaaka maa ya kankama oying ka e, ma nya Ashili,’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,’

6wa nyana otare ate kaa iini wai ka e ne, azaa nyimi ee cakate angmǝ Ashili azaa makili maying naname.he need not honor his father or mother with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition.

7Ying ana rendaza, Ishaya ondo beya angmǝ ka mawo ma Ashili wa beke oroka Ashili aza oying aa kap na,You hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied correctly about you:

8“Aromo ana, ne tareng ka ongmǝ belle, aa nyimi anyong ane neya macangcang kaa mi.‘These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me.

9O girwǝ one aa mi taa ka edang ne, obaala one o tare makili ma aromo, o bena aya angmǝ Ashili.”They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’”

10Na Yeso rare o kurkǝnǝng aromo acak, aa ka bekaa nee na, “Konana ekang rosa.Jesus called the crowd to Him and said, “Listen and understand.

11Epa eeka e lyǝzǝ ongmǝ oromo eta ote ka wa ye ka madinǝ ne, soona epa eeka e susi ba ongmǝ eya ote ka oromo wa itǝ ka madinǝ.”A man is not defiled by what enters his mouth, but by what comes out of it.”

12Na atoma kai ne deya kai nane bekaa kai na, “Orose obena maParisa ne kona o burǝ ka ne kona a angmǝ aa na?”Then the disciples came to Him and said, “Are You aware that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this?”

13Na Yeso kabare na, “Pate epa eeka Ate ang o zaa shili ta wa gata ne, ayo mukǝ.But Jesus replied, “Every plant that My heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by its roots.

14Arnang ka ne, ne arǝ ne ka neya windǝ arǝ lebenda. Urǝ wa windǝ urǝ lebenda, pate one neya kala a le'o.”Disregard them! They are blind guides. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.”

15Na Biturusu bekaa na, “Bele ro masanto ma angmǝ aa gerpo ana ka ba beka.”Peter said to Him, “Explain this parable to us.”

16Na Yeso pirkǝ nee na, “A alea aa were aana e tata a maring na?“Do you still not understand?” Jesus asked.

17Eta rosa obena pate epa eeka e lyǝ ongmǝ e ale a lebangi e suri ba lepung sang?“Do you not yet realize that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then is eliminated?

18A epaaka e susi ba ongmǝ e suri ba lenyong. Epa o susǝ a lenyong leme eya ote oromo ka wa itǝ ka madinǝ a begeshe ba Ashili.But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these things defile a man.

19Azaa o bena aa nyimi lenyong leyaa sǝrsǝzǝ madoola maa buru. Naa, o wongha oromo, o mora kaa ondaye ondo, o mora kaa Ogala, o eza bekǝri, o ana angmǝ, ka o cara leze.For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, and slander.

20Ennaa ote oromo kawa itǝ ka madinǝ a begeshe ba Ashili, o lya epa olya zora o sabo waya ta ote ka oromo waye ka madinǝ a begeshe ba Ashili ne.”These are what defile a man, but eating with unwashed hands does not defile him.”

21Nangka Yeso ka baya arakaname, naka ale a makeke ma Taya ka Sidon.Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the district of Tyre and Sidon.

22Na ondaye yende ka makeke ma Kan'ana deya a Yeso ka oruuzi na, “Kona egonegone eng Ateokora, kena ka Daoda, bozang, kagala kang obere o buru ooka waya nyimi kai waya zo gara kai.”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.”

23Na Yeso ta beka eyapa a wai ne. Aza nyimi na atoma kai ne deya a kai nane bosa kai na, “Tarangga wai kawa ale waya tare oro awa gare ro ka be koko.”But Jesus did not answer a word. So His disciples came and urged Him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.”

24Naka kabare na, “Mi aa tonghang azaa emande epeng e Isrela kane wilǝ belle.”He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”

25Na ondaye ome wa deya nawa girwǝ ba ting kai aaka bose kai kangza na, “Ateokora kangkamang!”The woman came and knelt before Him. “Lord, help me!” she said.

26Na Yeso kabare na, “Wata gwara a jeke epa olya ayana ka kare e ere ne.”But Jesus replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”

27Na ondaaye me bekaa na, “Nyimia Ateokora, pate kaa nyimi, e ere donge ma ngmeskarong maaka ma taaru ba deze araaka ateakwilǝ lyeeze epa olya ne.”“Yes, Lord,” she said, “even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”

28Na Yeso kabare naka bekaa ondaye me na, “Ondaye o eke lenyong leo ba Ashili wa gong, baya epa eeka oya gera me, e itǝ nyimi.” Ka o bekaa nyimi na obere oburu me wa arnang ka kagala kame.“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.

29Nangka Yeso ka baya a rame naka tare bee dǝki lepong le Galili. Naka zale ba zaa oyara naka cikǝ ba saname.Moving on from there, Jesus went along the Sea of Galilee. Then He went up on a mountain and sat down.

30Na aromo acak ne deya kai. Nane de kaa ana ozantǝ, arǝ, agǝdǝ, ka arara, aa ana ondo ba cak, nane eke ne aa begeshe be Yeso naka womza ne.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.

31Na epame tere apate aromo tukpwei azaa obena arara neya beya ngmǝ, agǝdǝ ya teweno, arǝ neya gonta, na pate one ne saba Ashili a maIsrela.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.

32Azaa nyimi na Yeso ka rare atoma o kai naka bekaa nee na, “Eyang kona egonegone aromo aana, tomore to taaro naana o ngmeengme teye legwa kaane aa neta ne lya epa olya ne, kangza anta yeme o baya one aane ale ekomo ne adorana tana ne sau orona ne.”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.”

33Na atoma kai ne kabare nane bekaa kai na, “A baba te era a te cǝ epaolya a nyimi lerambo leena kate nya aromo acake aana?”The disciples replied, “Where in this desolate place could we find enough bread to feed such a large crowd?”

34Na Yeso pirkǝ nee na, “Ma borode ma wondaa eye kaa mai?” Nane kabare na, “O sondaare kaa ekwala a baate.”“How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked. “Seven,” they replied, “and a few small fish.”

35Naka ote aromo aa cake name nane cikǝ ba deze,And He instructed the crowd to sit down on the ground.

36Nangka ka jeke maborode o sondaare ka ekwala me, naka wore o kona oleba ba Ashili, aaka pose mai aaka nya atoma kai, na nee kangza ne arseze aromo amea ne kurkǝnǝng.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.

37Pate one ne lye na komana one tii, na atoma kurki ma ngmeskarong maaka ma lyǝ nama panza makende ma moole sondaare.They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

38O gongha aromo aaka ne lye epaolya me ne dukǝ andaleme magu ma naaze bangka andaye kaa ayana.A total of four thousand men were fed, besides women and children.

39Malo arnang ka aromo me, naka zale o onggo o taara manyi naka ale a makeke ma magadan.After Jesus had dismissed the crowds, He got into the boat and went to the region of Magadan.
