¹And it came to pass, in his being in a certain place praying, as he ceased, a certain one of his disciples said unto him, `Sir, teach us to pray, as also John taught his disciples.`

¹Meel buu ku tukanayay, oo goortuu dhammeeyey, mid xertiisa ka mid ah ayaa ku yidhi, Sayidow, na bar si loo tukado, sida Yooxanaa xertiisa u baray.

²And he said to them, `When ye may pray, say ye: Our Father who art in the heavens; hallowed be Thy name: Thy reign come; Thy will come to pass, as in heaven also on earth;

²Wuxuu ku yidhi, Goortaad tukanaysaan dhaha, Aabbahayaga jannada ku jirow, magacaagu quduus ha ahaado, boqortooyadaadu ha timaado.

³our appointed bread be giving us daily;

³Maalinba maalin kibistayada nagu filan na sii.

⁴and forgive us our sins, for also we ourselves forgive every one indebted to us; and mayest Thou not bring us into temptation; but do Thou deliver us from the evil.`

⁴Oo naga cafi dembiyadayada, waayo, annaguba waa u cafinnaa mid walba oo aannu qaan ku leennahay, oo jirrabaaddana ha noo kaxayn.

⁵And he said unto them, `Who of you shall have a friend, and shall go on unto him at midnight, and may say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves,

⁵Wuxuuna ku yidhi, Kiinnee baa saaxiib leh oo saqdadhexe u tegaya oo ku odhanaya, Saaxiibow, saddex kibsood i amaahi,

⁶seeing a friend of mine came out of the way unto me, and I have not what I shall set before him,

⁶waayo, saaxiibkay ayaa safar iiga yimid, oo waxaan hor dhigo ma hayo.

⁷and he from within answering may say, Do not give me trouble, already the door hath been shut, and my children with me are in the bed, I am not able, having risen, to give to thee.

⁷Kaasaana gudaha ka jawaabaya oo odhanaya, Ha i dhibin. Albaabka waa la xidhay; carruurtayduna sariirtay ila jiiftaa; umana kici karo inaan wax ku siiyo.

⁸`I say to you, even if he will not give to him, having risen, because of his being his friend, yet because of his importunity, having risen, he will give him as many as he doth need;

⁸Waxaan idinku leeyahay, In kastoo aanu kici doonin oo aanu siin doonin saaxiibnimadiisa aawadeed, weliba baryo badnaantiisa aawadeed ayuu u kici doonaa oo u siin doonaa in alla intuu u baahan yahay.

⁹and I say to you, Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you;

⁹Waxaan idinku leeyahay, Weyddiista oo waa laydin siin doonaa; doona oo waad heli doontaan; garaaca oo waa laydinka furi doonaa.

¹⁰for every one who is asking doth receive; and he who is seeking doth find; and to him who is knocking it shall be opened.

¹⁰Waayo, mid kasta oo weyddiista waa la siiyaa; kii doonaana waa helaa; kii garaacana waa laga furi doonaa.

¹¹`And of which of you — the father — if the son shall ask a loaf, a stone will he present to him? and if a fish, will he instead of a fish, a serpent present to him?

¹¹Midkiinnee baa oo aabbe ah haddii wiilkiisu kibis weyddiisto, dhagax siinaya? Ama hadduu kalluun weyddiisto, kalluunka meeshiis abeeso siinaya?

¹²and if he may ask an egg, will he present to him a scorpion?

¹²Ama hadduu ukun weyddiisto, dabaqallooc siinaya?

¹³If, then, ye, being evil, have known good gifts to be giving to your children, how much more shall the Father who is from heaven give the Holy Spirit to those asking Him!`

¹³Haddaba idinka oo shar leh haddaad garanaysaan inaad hadiyado wanaagsan carruurtiinna siisaan, intee ka badan ayaa Aabbihiinna jannada ku jiraa Ruuxa Quduuska ah uu siin doonaa kuwa isaga weyddiista?

¹⁴And he was casting forth a demon, and it was dumb, and it came to pass, the demon having gone forth, the dumb man spake, and the multitudes wondered,

¹⁴Wuxuu saarayay jinni carrab la'. Waxaana dhacay goortuu jinnigii baxay inuu kii carrabka la'aa hadlay, dadkiina way yaabeen.

¹⁵and certain of them said, `By Beelzeboul, ruler of the demons, he doth cast forth the demons;`

¹⁵Laakiin qaarkood ayaa yidhi, wuxuu jinniyada ku saaraa Be'elsebul oo ah madaxda jinniyada.

¹⁶and others, tempting, a sign out of heaven from him were asking.

¹⁶Markaasaa kuwa kale oo jirrabaya waxay ka doonayeen inuu calaamo cirka ka tuso.

¹⁷And he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, `Every kingdom having been divided against itself is desolated; and house against house doth fall;

¹⁷Laakiin isagoo garanaya fikirradooda ayuu ku yidhi, Boqortooyo walba oo kala qaybsantaa, cidla' bay noqotaa, guri guri ka qaybsamaana waa dumaa.

¹⁸and if also the Adversary against himself was divided, how shall his kingdom be made to stand? for ye say, by Beelzeboul is my casting forth the demons.

¹⁸Shayddaankuna hadduu kala qaybsamo, boqortooyadiisu sidee bay u taagnaan doontaa? Waayo, waxaad tidhaahdaan, Waxaad jinniyo ku saartaa Be'elsebul.

¹⁹`But if I by Beelzeboul cast forth the demons — your sons, by whom do they cast forth? because of this your judges they shall be;

¹⁹Anigu haddii aan jinniyada ku saaro Be'elsebul, wiilashiinna yay ku saaraan? Sidaa darteed iyagu waxay ahaanayaan xaakinnadiinna.

²⁰but if by the finger of God I cast forth the demons, then come unawares upon you did the reign of God.

²⁰Laakiin haddaan jinniyada ku saaro farta Ilaah, waxaa idiin timid boqortooyada Ilaah.

²¹`When the strong man armed may keep his hall, in peace are his goods;

²¹Nin xoog leh oo hubaysan markuu ilaalinayo barxaddiisa, alaabtiisu waa nabad gelaysaa.

²²but when the stronger than he, having come upon [him], may overcome him, his whole-armour he doth take away in which he had trusted, and his spoils he distributeth;

²²Laakiin mid ka xoog badan goortuu ku soo baxo oo ka adkaado, wuxuu ka qaadaa hubkiisii uu isku halleeyey, oo wuu qaybiyaa wuxuu ka dhacay.

²³he who is not with me is against me, and he who is not gathering with me doth scatter.

²³Kan aan ila jirin waa iga gees, oo kan aan ila ururin waa firdhiyaa.

²⁴`When the unclean spirit may go forth from the man it walketh through waterless places seeking rest, and not finding, it saith, I will turn back to my house whence I came forth;

²⁴Jinniga wasakhda leh goortuu ninka ka baxo, wuxuu maraa meelo aan biyo lahayn, isagoo nasasho doonaya, oo markuu heli waayo, wuxuu yidhaahdaa, Waxaan ku noqonayaa gurigaygii aan ka baxay.

²⁵and having come, it findeth [it] swept and adorned;

²⁵Oo goortuu yimaado wuxuu helaa isagoo xaaqan oo hagaagsan.

²⁶then doth it go, and take to it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and having entered, they dwell there, and the last of that man becometh worst than the first.`

²⁶Markaasuu tagaa oo wuxuu wataa toddoba jinni oo kale oo ka xunxun isaga, wayna galaan oo halkaas joogaan. Ninkaas wakhtigiisa dambe ayaa ka darnaada wakhtiga hore.

²⁷And it came to pass, in his saying these things, a certain woman having lifted up the voice out of the multitude, said to him, `Happy the womb that carried thee, and the paps that thou didst suck!`

²⁷Waxaa dhacay goortuu waxyaalahaas yidhi, in qof dumar ah oo dadka ka mid ah codkeeda kor u qaadday oo ku tidhi, Waxaa barakaysan uurka ku siday iyo naasihii aad nuugtay.

²⁸And he said, `Yea, rather, happy those hearing the word of God, and keeping [it]!`

²⁸Laakiin wuxuu ku yidhi, Runtaa, laakiin waxaa barakaysan kuwa ereyga Ilaah maqla oo xajiya.

²⁹And the multitudes crowding together upon him, he began to say, `This generation is evil, a sign it doth seek after, and a sign shall not be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet,

²⁹Goortii dadkii badnaa isugu soo ururayeen, wuxuu bilaabay inuu yidhaahdo, Qarniganu waa qarni shareed; calaamo bay doonayaan, lamana siin doono, calaamada Yoonis maahee.

³⁰for as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also shall the Son of Man be to this generation.

³⁰Waayo, sida Yoonis calaamo ugu noqday reer Nineweh, sidaas oo kale ayuu Wiilka Aadanahu calaamo ugu ahaan doonaa qarnigan.

³¹`A queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and shall condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and lo, greater than Solomon here!

³¹Boqoradda koonfureed waxay xisaabta la kici doontaa dadka qarnigan, wayna xukumi doontaa, waayo, waxay ka timid meesha dhulka ugu shishaysa inay xigmadda Sulaymaan maqasho, oo bal eeg, mid Sulaymaan ka weyn ayaa halkan jooga.

³²`Men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it, because they reformed at the proclamation of Jonah; and lo, greater than Jonah here!

³²Nimanka Nineweh waxay xisaabta isla taagi doonaan dadka qarnigan, wayna xukumi doonaan, waayo, waxay ku toobad keeneen wacdigii Yoonis, oo bal eeg, mid Yoonis ka weyn ayaa halkan jooga.

³³`And no one having lighted a lamp, doth put [it] in a secret place, nor under the measure, but on the lamp-stand, that those coming in may behold the light.

³³Ma jiro nin, goortuu ilays shido, dhiga meel qarsoon ama weel hoostiisa, laakiin wuxuu saaraa meeshii ilayska si ay kuwa soo galaa iftiinka u arkaan.

³⁴`The lamp of the body is the eye, when then thine eye may be simple, thy whole body also is lightened; and when it may be evil, thy body also is darkened;

³⁴Ilayska jidhkaagu waa ishaada, ishaaduna markay hagaagsan tahay, jidhkaaga oo dhammu waa iftiimaa, laakiin goortay xun tahay, jidhkaaguna waa gudcur.

³⁵take heed, then, lest the light that [is] in thee be darkness;

³⁵Haddaba iska jir si iftiinka kugu jiraa aanu gudcur u ahaan.

³⁶if then thy whole body is lightened, not having any part darkened, the whole shall be lightened, as when the lamp by the brightness may give thee light.`

³⁶Haddaba haddii jidhkaaga oo dhammu iftiimo, aanuna lahayn meel gudcur ah, waa wada iftiimaa, sida goortii ilayska dhalaalayaa uu kuu iftiimiyo.

³⁷And in [his] speaking, a certain Pharisee was asking him that he might dine with him, and having gone in, he reclined (at meat),

³⁷Goortuu hadlayay, nin Farrisi ah ayaa weyddiistay inuu wax la cuno; wuuna galay gurigiisa, oo cunto u fadhiistay.

³⁸and the Pharisee having seen, did wonder that he did not first baptize himself before the dinner.

³⁸Farrisigii markuu arkay waa yaabay, waayo, cuntada horteed ma uu faraxalan.

³⁹And the Lord said unto him, `Now do ye, the Pharisees, the outside of the cup and of the plate make clean, but your inward part is full of rapine and wickedness;

³⁹Sayidka ayaa ku yidhi, Haddeer idinkoo Farrisiin ah waxaad dusha ka nadiifisaan koobka iyo xeedhada, laakiin xaggiinna hoose waxaa ka buuxa dulun iyo shar.

⁴⁰unthinking! did not He who made the outside also the inside make?

⁴⁰Doqonno yahow, kii dusha sameeyey miyaanu gudahana samaynin?

⁴¹But what ye have give ye [as] alms, and, lo, all things are clean to you.

⁴¹Laakiin waxa gudaha ah sadaqad u bixiya, oo bal eeg, wax walba waa idiin nadiifsan yihiin.

⁴²`But wo to you, the Pharisees, because ye tithe the mint, and the rue, and every herb, and ye pass by the judgment, and the love of God; these things it behoveth to do, and those not to be neglecting.

⁴²Laakiin waa idiin hoog, Farrisiin yahay, waayo, reexaanta iyo kabsarta iyo khodaarta oo dhan toban meelood ayaad meel ka bixisaan, oo waxaad dhaaftaan xukunka iyo jeclaanta Ilaah. Waxaad lahaydeen inaad waxan samaysaan oo aydnaan kuwa kale dhaafin.

⁴³`Wo to you, the Pharisees, because ye love the first seats in the synagogues, and the salutations in the market-places.

⁴³Waa idiin hoog, Farrisiin yahay, waayo, waxaad jeceshihiin kursiyada hore oo sunagogyada, iyo salaanta suuqa.

⁴⁴`Wo to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because ye are as the unseen tombs, and the men walking above have not known.`

⁴⁴Waa idiin hoog, waayo, waxaad tihiin sida xabaalo aan muuqanaynin; nimanka dul marayaana aanay garanaynin.

⁴⁵And one of the lawyers answering, saith to him, `Teacher, these things saying, us also thou dost insult;`

⁴⁵Kuwa sharciga yaqaan midkood ayaa u jawaabay oo ku yidhi, Macallimow, markaad waxaas leedahay, annagana waad na caayaysaa.

⁴⁶and he said, `And to you, the lawyers, wo! because ye burden men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves with one of your fingers do not touch the burdens.

⁴⁶Markaasuu ku yidhi, Idinkana waa idiin hoog, sharciga sheegayaal yahow, waayo, waxaad nimanka ku rartaan wax culus oo qaadiddoodu dhib leedahay; idinkuse farihiinna middood kuma taabataan culaabta.

⁴⁷`Wo to you, because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

⁴⁷Waa idiin hoog, waayo, waxaad dhistaan xabaalaha nebiyada, awowayaashiinse way dileen.

⁴⁸Then do ye testify, and are well pleased with the works of your fathers, because they indeed killed them, and ye do build their tombs;

⁴⁸Haddaba waxaad tihiin markhaatiyaal oo aad oggoshihiin shuqulkii awowayaashiin, waayo, iyagaa dilay, idinkuna waad dhistaan xabaalahooda.

⁴⁹because of this also the wisdom of God said: I will send to them prophets, and apostles, and some of them they shall kill and persecute,

⁴⁹Sidaa darteed xigmadda Ilaah ayaa tidhi, Waxaan u diri doonaa nebiyo iyo rasuullo; qaarkood waa la dili doonaa oo la silcin doonaa,

⁵⁰that the blood of all the prophets, that is being poured forth from the foundation of the world, may be required from this generation;

⁵⁰in qarnigan la weyddiiyo dhiiggii nebiyada oo dhan oo daatay tan iyo aasaaskii dunida,

⁵¹from the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, who perished between the altar and the house; yes, I say to you, It shall be required from this generation.

⁵¹oo laga bilaabo dhiiggii Haabiil ilaa dhiiggii Sakariyas kii ku dhintay meeshii allabariga iyo meesha quduuska ah dhexdooda. Runtii, waxaan idinku leeyahay, Qarnigan ayaa la weyddiin doonaa.

⁵²`Wo to you, the lawyers, because ye took away the key of the knowledge; yourselves ye did not enter; and those coming in, ye did hinder.`

⁵²Waa idiin hoog, sharciga sheegayaal yahow, waayo, furihii garashada ayaad qaaddeen. Idinka qudhiinnu ma gelin, oo kuwii gelayayna ayaad ka hor joogsateen.

⁵³And in his speaking these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began fearfully to urge and to press him to speak about many things,

⁵³Oo kolkuu meeshaas ka baxay, culimmada iyo Farrisiintu waxay bilaabeen inay aad ugu dhirfaan iyo inay wax badan kaga hadlisiiyaan,iyagoo gaadaya inay ku qabtaan wixii afkiisa ka soo baxa.

⁵⁴laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.

⁵⁴iyagoo gaadaya inay ku qabtaan wixii afkiisa ka soo baxa.
