VII.
Ļaužu lykumi.
1 Pi Jō sasapuļcēja farizeji un daži nu Jeruzalemas atgōjušī Rokstim mōceitī. 2 Jī redzēja, ka daži mōcekli, nateirom rūkom byudami, tys ir nanūmozgōtom rūkom, ēde maizi. 3 Bet farizeji un jūdi, pīsaturūt vacōkūs īroduma, nikod naēde, īprīkš ryupeigi nanūmozgōjuši rūku. 4 Pat nu tērga atgōjuši, jī naēde, īprīkš naapslapynōjuši sevis ar yudini. Ir vēļ daudz cyta, pi kō jim, saskaņā ar īrodumu, jōpīsatur, kai bikeru, skrūžu, pūdu un gultu mozgōšonas.
5 Tad farizeji un Rokstim mōceitī vaicōja nu Jō: Kōpēc tovi mōcekli napylda vacōkūs īrodumu un ād maizi nateirom rūkom? 6 Bet Jys tim atbiļdēja: Izaja labi pravītōja par jums līkulim, kai ir raksteits:
Šytei tauta Mani gūdynoj tikai ar lyupom;
bet jōs sirds ir tōli nu Manis.
7 Bet veļteiga ir Manis gūdynōšona,
mōcūt tikai tū, kas ir cylvāku lykums.
8 Atmatuši Dīva lykumu, jyus pyldat cylvāku īrodumus. Skrūžu un bikeru mozgōšonas, kai ari daudz cytu tam leidzeigu lītu jyus pīsaturat.
9 Tōļōk jim saceja: Jyus mōkat veikli atmest Dīva lykumu, lai tik izpiļdeitu sovas īrašas. 10 Moizešs saceja: Tev byus sovu tāvu un mōti gūdā turēt, un: Kas lōd tāvu vai mōti, tys lai mērst. 11 Bet jyus sokat: Jo cylvāks tāvam vai mōtei pasaceitu: Korban, tys ir: upuram ir pazeimōts tys, kas tev nu manis kai atbolsts pīkrytsu, 12 tad jyus napīsokat sova tāva un mōtes lobā nikō dareit. 13 Jyus sovu īrodumu dēļ, kuru pīsaturat, atmatat Dīva lykumu. Un tam leidzeiga jyus daudz kō dorat.
14 Tad otkon pasaucis klōt ļaudis, tim saceja: Klausatēs Manis visi un saprūtat. 15 Nikō nava taida, kas nu ōrīnes īejūt cylvākā, varātu jū padareit nateiru; bet kas nu cylvāka izīt, tys gon var jū padareit nateiru. 16 Kam ausis ir dzērdēšonai, tys lai klausās.
17 Kad Jys, pametis ļaudis, nūgōja uz sātu, tad Jō mōcekli klause nu Jō par pīleidzeibu. 18 Un Jys tim saceja: Vai tad ari jums veļ tryukst saprasšonas? Vai jyus nazynat, ka vyss tys, kas nu ōrīnes īīt cylvākā, navar jō padareit nateira? 19 Tys taču naīīt jō sirdī, bet īīt mōgā un īt dabyskū ceļu, atteirejūt ikvīnu ēdīni.
20 Bet kas nu cylvāka izīt, saceja Jys tōļōk, tys padora jū nateiru. 21 Jo nu īškas, nu cylvāka sirds izīt ļaunōs gōdōšonas, palaidneiba, zagšona, slapkaveiba, 22 lauleibas lauzšona, montkōreiba, ļauneiba, viļteiba, nakauneiba, skaudeiba, saimōšona, lepneiba un naprōteiba. 23 Šytys vyss ļaunais izīt nu īkšīnes un padora cylvāku nateiru.
K. Jezus un pogōnīte.
24 Atstōjis turīni, Jys aizgōja uz Tyra un Sydona apvydu. Un īgōjis vīnā mōjā, gribēja, ka nikas par Jū nazynōtu, bet nazynoms navarēja palikt.
25 Jo tikkū beja izdzērduse par Jū kaida sīvīte, kuras meitai beja naškeistais gors, atnōce un nūkryta pi Jō kōjom. 26 Tei sīvīte beja pogōnīte nu Syrofenicijas. Jei lyudze, ka Jys izdzeitu nu jōs meitas valnu. 27 Bet Jys atbiļdēja: Ļauņ pyrmōk bārnim pasaseitynōt; jo tadei nav labi jimt nūst bārnim maizi un mest tū sunānim. 28 Bet jei atbiļdēja: Tai gon, Kungs, bet ari sunāni zam golda ād bārnu druponas. 29 Tad Jys jai saceja: Šytō vōrda dēļ ej: ļaunais gors tovu meitu jau pamete. 30 Un jei, nūgōjuse uz sovu sātu, atroda meitu guļūt uz gultas. Ļaunais gors jū jau beja pametis.
Kūrlmāmō izveseļōšona.
31 Jys, izgōjis nu Tyra rūbežim, nūgōja par Sydonu uz Galilejas jyurmolu, pōrīdams pa Dekapoles apgobola vydu.
32 Te atvede pi Jō vīnu kūrlmāmū un lyudze, ka Jys uzlyktu uz jō rūku. 33 Pajēmis jū nūmaļ nu ļaudim, Jys īlyka jō ausīs sovus pērstus un ar slīkom pīsadyure pi jō mēles. 34 Tad, pasavēris uz dabasim, gryuši nūsapyute un jam saceja: Effeta, tys ir: atsadori vaļā. 35 Un tyuleņ atsadareja jō ausis, un jō mēles saišks atsaraiseja, un jys sōce runōt.
36 Un Jys pīsaceja, ka nikam par tū nastōsteitu, bet kū styprōk nūlīdze, tū vairōk jī tū izdaudzynōja. 37 Jī ļūti breinōjōs un saceja: Jys vysu dora labi; kūrlūs Jys padora dzērdūšus un māmūs runojūšus.
The Teaching of the Ancestors
(Matthew 15.1-9)1 Some Pharisees and several teachers of the Law of Moses from Jerusalem came and gathered around Jesus. 2 They noticed that some of his disciples ate without first washing their hands.
3 The Pharisees and many others obey the teachings of their ancestors. They always wash their hands in the proper way before eating. 4 None of them will eat anything they buy in the market until it is washed. They also follow a lot of other teachings, such as washing cups, pitchers, and bowls.
5 The Pharisees and teachers asked Jesus, “Why don't your disciples obey what our ancestors taught us to do? Why do they eat without washing their hands?”
6 Jesus replied:
You are nothing but show-offs! The prophet Isaiah was right when he wrote that God had said,
“All of you praise me
with your words,
but you never really
think about me.
7 It is useless for you
to worship me,
when you teach rules
made up by humans.”
8 You disobey God's commands in order to obey what humans have taught. 9 You are good at rejecting God's commands so that you can follow your own teachings! 10 Didn't Moses command you to respect your father and mother? Didn't he tell you to put to death all who curse their parents? 11 But you let people get by without helping their parents when they should. You let them say that what they own has been offered to God. 12 You won't let those people help their parents. 13 And you ignore God's commands in order to follow your own teaching. You do a lot of other things just as bad.
What Really Makes People Unclean
(Matthew 15.10-20)14 Jesus called the crowd together again and said, “Pay attention and try to understand what I mean. 15-16 The food that you put into your mouth doesn't make you unclean and unfit to worship God. The bad words that come out of your mouth are what make you unclean.”
17 After Jesus and his disciples had left the crowd and gone into the house, they asked him what these sayings meant. 18 He answered, “Don't you know what I am talking about by now? You surely know that the food you put into your mouth cannot make you unclean. 19 It doesn't go into your heart, but into your stomach, and then out of your body.” By saying this, Jesus meant that all foods were fit to eat.
20 Then Jesus said:
What comes from your heart is what makes you unclean. 21 Out of your heart come evil thoughts, vulgar deeds, stealing, murder, 22 unfaithfulness in marriage, greed, meanness, deceit, indecency, envy, insults, pride, and foolishness. 23 All of these come from your heart, and they are what make you unfit to worship God.
A Woman's Faith
(Matthew 15.21-28)24 Jesus left and went to the region near the town of Tyre, where he stayed in someone's home. He did not want people to know he was there, but they found out anyway. 25 A woman whose daughter had an evil spirit in her heard where Jesus was. And at once she came and knelt down at his feet. 26 The woman was Greek and had been born in the part of Syria known as Phoenicia. She begged Jesus to force the demon out of her daughter. 27 But Jesus said, “The children must first be fed! It isn't right to take away their food and feed it to dogs.”
28 The woman replied, “Lord, even puppies eat the crumbs that children drop from the table.”
29 Jesus answered, “That's true! You may go now. The demon has left your daughter.” 30 When the woman got back home, she found her child lying on the bed. The demon had gone.
Jesus Heals a Man Who Was Deaf and Could Hardly Talk
31 Jesus left the region around Tyre and went by way of Sidon toward Lake Galilee. He went through the land near the ten cities known as Decapolis. 32 Some people brought to him a man who was deaf and could hardly talk. They begged Jesus just to touch him.
33 After Jesus had taken him aside from the crowd, he stuck his fingers in the man's ears. Then he spit and put it on the man's tongue. 34 Jesus looked up toward heaven, and with a groan he said, “Effatha!” which means “Open up!” 35 At once the man could hear, and he had no more trouble talking clearly.
36 Jesus told the people not to say anything about what he had done. But the more he told them, the more they talked about it. 37 They were completely amazed and said, “Everything he does is good! He even heals people who cannot hear or talk.”
