Vangelo secondo Matteo - Matthew 15

GREEK BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Τοτε προσερχονται προς τον Ιησουν οι απο Ιεροσολυμων γραμματεις και Φαρισαιοι, λεγοντες?	1 Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said,
2 Δια τι οι μαθηται σου παραβαινουσιν την παραδοσιν των πρεσβυτερων; διοτι δεν νιπτονται τας χειρας αυτων οταν τρωγωσιν αρτον.	2 "Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They do not wash (their) hands when they eat a meal."
3 Ο δε αποκριθεις ειπε προς αυτους? Δια τι και σεις παραβαινετε την εντολην του Θεου δια την παραδοσιν σας;	3 He said to them in reply, "And why do you break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?
4 Διοτι ο Θεος προσεταξε, λεγων? Τιμα τον πατερα σου και την μητερα? και, Ο κακολογων πατερα η μητερα εξαπαντος να θανατονηται?	4 For God said, 'Honor your father and your mother,' and 'Whoever curses father or mother shall die.'
5 σεις ομως λεγετε? Οστις ειπη προς τον πατερα η προς την μητερα, Δωρον ειναι ο, τι ηθελες ωφεληθη εξ εμου, αρκει, και δυναται να μη τιμηση τον πατερα αυτου η την μητερα αυτου?	5 But you say, 'Whoever says to father or mother, "Any support you might have had from me is dedicated to God,"
6 και ηκυρωσατε την εντολην του Θεου δια την παραδοσιν σας.	6 need not honor his father.' You have nullified the word of God for the sake of your tradition.
7 Υποκριται, καλως προεφητευσε περι υμων ο Ησαιας, λεγων?	7 Hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy about you when he said:
8 Ο λαος ουτος με πλησιαζει με το στομα αυτων και με τα χειλη με τιμα, η δε καρδια αυτων μακραν απεχει απ' εμου.	8 'This people honors me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me;
9 Εις ματην δε με σεβονται, διδασκοντες διδασκαλιας, ενταλματα ανθρωπων.	9 in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines human precepts.'"
10 Και προσκαλεσας τον οχλον, ειπε προς αυτους? Ακουετε και νοειτε.	10 He summoned the crowd and said to them, "Hear and understand.
11 Δεν μολυνει τον ανθρωπον το εισερχομενον εις το στομα, αλλα το εξερχομενον εκ του στοματος τουτο μολυνει τον ανθρωπον.	11 It is not what enters one's mouth that defiles that person; but what comes out of the mouth is what defiles one."
12 Τοτε προσελθοντες οι μαθηται αυτου, ειπον προς αυτον? Εξευρεις οτι οι Φαρισαιοι ακουσαντες τον λογον τουτον εσκανδαλισθησαν;	12 Then his disciples approached and said to him, "Do you know that the Pharisees took offense when they heard what you said?"
13 Ο δε αποκριθεις ειπε? Πασα φυτεια, την οποιαν δεν εφυτευσεν ο Πατηρ μου ο ουρανιος, θελει εκριζωθη.	13 He said in reply, "Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted.
14 Αφησατε αυτους? ειναι οδηγοι τυφλοι τυφλων? τυφλος δε τυφλον εαν οδηγη, αμφοτεροι εις βοθρον θελουσι πεσει.	14 Let them alone; they are blind guides (of the blind). If a blind person leads a blind person, both will fall into a pit."
15 Αποκριθεις δε ο Πετρος ειπε προς αυτον? Εξηγησον εις ημας την παραβολην ταυτην.	15 Then Peter said to him in reply, "Explain (this) parable to us."
16 Και ο Ιησους ειπεν? Ετι και σεις ασυνετοι εισθε;	16 He said to them, "Are even you still without understanding?
17 Δεν εννοειτε ετι οτι παν το εισερχομενον εις το στομα καταβαινει εις την κοιλιαν και εκβαλλεται εις αφεδρωνα;	17 Do you not realize that everything that enters the mouth passes into the stomach and is expelled into the latrine?
18 Τα δε εξερχομενα εκ του στοματος εκ της καρδιας εξερχονται, και εκεινα μολυνουσι τον ανθρωπον.	18 But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile.
19 Διοτι εκ της καρδιας εξερχονται διαλογισμοι πονηροι, φονοι, μοιχειαι, πορνειαι, κλοπαι, ψευδομαρτυριαι, βλασφημιαι.	19 For from the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, unchastity, theft, false witness, blasphemy.
20 Ταυτα ειναι τα μολυνοντα τον ανθρωπον? το δε να φαγη τις με ανιπτους χειρας δεν μολυνει τον ανθρωπον.	20 These are what defile a person, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile."
21 Και εξελθων εκειθεν ο Ιησους ανεχωρησεν εις τα μερη Τυρου και Σιδωνος.	21 Then Jesus went from that place and withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon.
22 Και ιδου, γυνη Χαναναια, εξελθουσα απο των οριων εκεινων, εκραυγασε προς αυτον λεγουσα? Ελεησον με, Κυριε, υιε του Δαβιδ? η θυγατηρ μου κακως δαιμονιζεται.	22 And behold, a Canaanite woman of that district came and called out, "Have pity on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is tormented by a demon."
23 Ο δε δεν απεκριθη προς αυτην λογον. Και προσελθοντες οι μαθηται αυτου, παρεκαλουν αυτον, λεγοντες? Απολυσον αυτην, διοτι κραζει οπισθεν ημων.	23 But he did not say a word in answer to her. His disciples came and asked him, "Send her away, for she keeps calling out after us."
24 Ο δε αποκριθεις ειπε? Δεν απεσταλην ειμη εις τα προβατα τα απολωλοτα του οικου Ισραηλ.	24 He said in reply, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
25 Η δε ελθουσα προσεκυνει αυτον, λεγουσα? Κυριε, βοηθει μοι.	25 But the woman came and did him homage, saying, "Lord, help me."
26 Ο δε αποκριθεις ειπε? Δεν ειναι καλον να λαβη τις τον αρτον των τεκνων και να ριψη εις τα κυναρια.	26 He said in reply, "It is not right to take the food of the children and throw it to the dogs."
27 Η δε ειπε? Ναι, Κυριε? αλλα και τα κυναρια τρωγουσιν απο των ψιχιων των πιπτοντων απο της τραπεζης των κυριων αυτων.	27 She said, "Please, Lord, for even the dogs eat the scraps that fall from the table of their masters."
28 Τοτε αποκριθεις ο Ιησους ειπε προς αυτην? Ω γυναι, μεγαλη σου η πιστις? ας γεινη εις σε ως θελεις. Και ιατρευθη η θυγατηρ αυτης απο της ωρας εκεινης.	28 Then Jesus said to her in reply, "O woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you wish." And her daughter was healed from that hour.
29 Και μεταβας εκειθεν ο Ιησους, ηλθε παρα την θαλασσαν της Γαλιλαιας, και αναβας εις το ορος εκαθητο εκει.	29 Moving on from there Jesus walked by the Sea of Galilee, went up on the mountain, and sat down there.
30 Και ηλθον προς αυτον οχλοι πολλοι εχοντες μεθ' εαυτων χωλους, τυφλους, κωφους, κουλλους και αλλους πολλους? και ερριψαν αυτους εις τους ποδας του Ιησου, και εθεραπευσεν αυτους?	30 Great crowds came to him, having with them the lame, the blind, the deformed, the mute, and many others. They placed them at his feet, and he cured them.
31 ωστε οι οχλοι εθαυμασαν βλεποντες κωφους λαλουντας, κουλλους υγιεις, χωλους περιπατουντας και τυφλους βλεποντας? και εδοξασαν τον Θεον του Ισραηλ.	31 The crowds were amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the deformed made whole, the lame walking, and the blind able to see, and they glorified the God of Israel.
32 Ο δε Ιησους, προσκαλεσας τους μαθητας αυτου, ειπε? Σπλαγχνιζομαι δια τον οχλον, διοτι τρεις ηδη ημερας μενουσι πλησιον μου και δεν εχουσι τι να φαγωσι? και να απολυσω αυτους νηστεις δεν θελω, μηποτε αποκαμωσι καθ' οδον.	32 Jesus summoned his disciples and said, "My heart is moved with pity for the crowd, for they have been with me now for three days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry, for fear they may collapse on the way."
33 Και λεγουσι προς αυτον οι μαθηται αυτου? Ποθεν εις ημας εν τη ερημια αρτοι τοσοι, ωστε να χορτασωμεν τοσον οχλον;	33 The disciples said to him, "Where could we ever get enough bread in this deserted place to satisfy such a crowd?"
34 Και λεγει προς αυτους ο Ιησους? Ποσους αρτους εχετε; οι δε ειπον? Επτα, και ολιγα οψαρακια.	34 Jesus said to them, "How many loaves do you have?" "Seven," they replied, "and a few fish."
35 Και προσεταξε τους οχλους να καθησωσιν επι την γην.	35 He ordered the crowd to sit down on the ground.
36 Και λαβων τους επτα αρτους και τα οψαρια, αφου ευχαριστησεν, εκοψε και εδωκεν εις τους μαθητας αυτου, οι δε μαθηται εις τον οχλον.	36 Then he took the seven loaves and the fish, gave thanks, broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, who in turn gave them to the crowds.
37 Και εφαγον παντες και εχορτασθησαν, και εσηκωσαν το περισσευμα των κλασματων επτα σπυριδας πληρεις?	37 They all ate and were satisfied. They picked up the fragments left over--seven baskets full.
38 οι δε τρωγοντες ησαν τετρακισχιλιοι ανδρες εκτος γυναικων και παιδιων.	38 Those who ate were four thousand men, not counting women and children.
39 Αφου δε απελυσε τους οχλους, εισηλθεν εις το πλοιον και ηλθεν εις τα ορια Μαγδαλα.	39 And when he had dismissed the crowds, he got into the boat and came to the district of Magadan.
