¹Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.

¹Waxaa Ciise u soo dhowaanayay cashuurqaadayaasha iyo dembilayaasha oo dhan inay maqlaan.

²And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.

²Kolkaasay Farrisiintii iyo culimmadiiba gunuunaceen, iyagoo leh, Ninkanu dembilayaashuu soo dhoweeyaa oo wax la cunaa.

³And he spake this parable unto them, saying,

³Markaasuu masaalkan kula hadlay, oo ku yidhi,

⁴What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?

⁴Ninkiinnee baa tiro ido ah leh, oo middood ka hallowday, aan sagaal iyo sagaashanka cidlada kaga tegin, oo aan tii hallowday ka daba tegin, ilaa uu soo helo?

⁵And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

⁵Oo goortuu soo helo, aan garbihiisa saarin, isagoo faraxsan.

⁶And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.

⁶Oo goortuu guriga yimaado, aan isugu yeedhin saaxiibbadiisa iyo derisyadiisa, isagoo ku leh, Ila farxa, waayo, waxaan helay laxdaydii iga hallowday?

⁷I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.

⁷Waxaan idinku leeyahay, Sidaas oo kale, farxad ayaa jannada kaga jiri doonta dembile toobad keena in ka badan sagaal iyo sagaashan xaq ah oo aan toobadkeen u baahnayn.

⁸Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?

⁸Ama naagtee baa toban daraakmo oo lacag ah leh, oo hadday daraakmo lumiso, aan laambad shidin, oo aan guriga xaaqin, oo aan dadaal ku doonin ilaa ay hesho?

⁹And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.

⁹Oo markay hesho, aan saaxiibbadeeda iyo derisyadeeda isugu yeedhin iyadoo ku leh, Ila farxa, waayo, waxaan helay daraakmadii iga luntay.

¹⁰Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

¹⁰Waxaan idinku leeyahay, Sidaas oo kale markii mid dembi leh toobad keenoba, farxad ayaa kaga jirta malaa'igaha Ilaah hortooda.

¹¹And he said, A certain man had two sons:

¹¹Wuxuuna yidhi, Nin baa laba wiil lahaa.

¹²And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.

¹²Kii yaraa ayaa aabbihii ku yidhi, Aabbow, waxaaga qaybtii aan heli lahaa i sii. Markaasuu iyaga u qaybiyey wuxuu ku noolaa.

¹³And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.

¹³Maalmo aan badnayn dabadeed wiilkii yaraa waa wada urursaday wax walbaba, oo dhul fog ayuu u safray, halkaas ayuuna wixiisii ku khasaariyey, isagoo iska tumaya.

¹⁴And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.

¹⁴Goortuu wada bixiyey dabadeed ayaa abaar daran dhulkaas ka dhacday, wuuna bilaabay inuu baahdo.

¹⁵And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.

¹⁵Goortaasuu tegey oo isku daray nin dadka dhulkaas ah, kan u diray beerihiisa inuu doofaarro daajiyo.

¹⁶And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.

¹⁶Wuxuu damcay inuu calooshiisa ka buuxiyo buunshihii doofaarradu ay cunayeen, ninnana waxba ma uu siin.

¹⁷And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!

¹⁷Goortuu isgartay ayuu yidhi, Intee baa kuwa aabbahay kiraystay haysata kibis ka badan in ku filan, aniguna macaluul baan halkan ugu bakhtiyayaa.

¹⁸I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,

¹⁸Waan kici oo aan aabbahay u tegi, oo waxaan ku odhan, Aabbow, waxaan ku dembaabay jannada iyo hortaadaba.

¹⁹And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.

¹⁹Kol dambe ma istaahilo in laygu yeedho wiilkaaga, ee iga dhig sida kuwa aad kiraysatay midkood oo kale.

²⁰And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.

²⁰Markaasuu kacay, oo wuxuu u yimid aabbihii, laakiin intuu weli ka fogaa ayaa aabbihiis arkay, waana u naxariistay, oo ku soo orday oo qoortuu iskaga duubay, oo dhunkaday.

²¹And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.

²¹Markaasaa wiilkii ku yidhi, Aabbow, waxaan ku dembaabay jannada iyo hortaadaba; kol dambe ma istaahilo in laygu yeedho wiilkaaga.

²²But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:

²²Laakiin aabbihii ayaa addoommadiisii ku yidhi, Dhaqso u soo bixiya khamiiska ugu wanaagsan oo u geliya, kaatunna gacanta u geliya, kabona cagaha u geliya.

²³And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:

²³Dibigii yaraa ee la shishleeyey keena oo gowraca, aynu cunno oo faraxno,

²⁴For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.

²⁴waayo, wiilkaygan wuu dhintay, wuuna soo noolaaday; wuu lumay, waana la helay. Markaasay bilaabeen inay farxaan.

²⁵Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.

²⁵Laakiin wiilkiisii weynaa beerta buu ku jiray, oo intuu soo socday oo guriga u soo dhowaanayay, wuxuu maqlay muusika iyo cayaar.

²⁶And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.

²⁶Markaasuu midiidinyada midkood u yeedhay oo weyddiiyey, Waa maxay waxaas?

²⁷And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.

²⁷Markaasuu ku yidhi, Walaalkaa ayaa yimid, aabbahaana dibigii yaraa ee la shishleeyey ayuu u gowracay, waayo, ladnaan buu ku helay.

²⁸And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.

²⁸Laakiin wuu cadhooday, oo inuu galo ma doonayn, markaasaa aabbihiis soo baxay oo baryay.

²⁹And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:

²⁹Laakiin wuu u jawaabay, oo wuxuu aabbihiis ku yidhi, Bal eeg, intaas oo sannadood ayaan kuu shaqaynayay, oo weligay amarkaaga kama aan xadgudbin, oo weligaa waxar iima aad siin inaan saaxiibbadayda la farxo,

³⁰But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.

³⁰Laakiin goortii uu yimid wiilkaagani waxaagii aad ku noolayd dhillooyin la cunay, waxaad u gowracday dibigii yaraa ee la shishleeyey.

³¹And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.

³¹Markaasuu ku yidhi, Wiilkaygiiyow, weligaa waad ila joogtaa, oo waxayga oo dhan adigaa leh,laakiin waxaa inoo wanaagsanayd inaynu rayrayno oo faraxno, waayo, waalaalkaagani waa dhintay, wuuna soo noolaaday; wuu lumay, waana la helay.

³²It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.

³²laakiin waxaa inoo wanaagsanayd inaynu rayrayno oo faraxno, waayo, waalaalkaagani waa dhintay, wuuna soo noolaaday; wuu lumay, waana la helay.
