¹And it came to pass, on one of those days, as he is teaching the people in the temple, and proclaiming good news, the chief priests and the scribes, with the elders, came upon [him],

¹Maalmahaa middood intuu Ciise dadka macbudkii wax ku barayay oo injiilka kaga dhex wacdiyeyey, waxaa dhacay in wadaaddada sare iyo culimmada ula yimaadeen waayeellada

²and spake unto him, saying, `Tell us by what authority thou dost these things? or who is he that gave to thee this authority?`

²oo la hadleen oo ku yidhaahdeen, Noo sheeg, Amarkee baad waxan ku samaysaa? Oo yuu yahay kan amarkan ku siiyey?

³And he answering said unto them, `I will question you — I also — one thing, and tell me:

³Markaasuu u jawaabay oo ku yidhi, Aniguna hal baan idin weyddiinayaa, iina sheega.

⁴the baptism of John, from heaven was it, or from men?`

⁴Baabtiiskii Yooxanaa ma wuxuu ka yimid xagga jannada mase dadka?

⁵And they reasoned with themselves, saying — `If we may say, From heaven, he will say, Wherefore, then, did ye not believe him?

⁵Dhexdooda ayay iskala hadleen iyagoo leh, Haddaynu nidhaahno, Xagga jannada, wuxuu odhanayaa, Maxaad u rumaysan weydeen?

⁶and if we may say, From men, all the people will stone us, for they are having been persuaded John to be a prophet.`

⁶Laakiin haddii aynu nidhaahno, Xagga dadka, dadka oo dhan ayaa ina dhagxinaya, waayo, waa la aaminsiiyey inuu Yooxanaa nebi ahaa.

⁷And they answered, that they knew not whence [it was],

⁷Markaasay waxay ugu jawaabeen inaanay garan meeshuu ka yimid.

⁸and Jesus said to them, `Neither do I say to you by what authority I do these things.`

⁸Ciisena wuxuu ku yidhi, Aniguna idiin sheegi maayo amarka aan waxan ku sameeyo.

⁹And he began to speak unto the people this simile: `A certain man planted a vineyard, and gave it out to husbandmen, and went abroad for a long time,

⁹Wuxuu bilaabay inuu masaalkan dadka kula hadlo. Nin baa wuxuu beertay beer canab ah, oo niman beerrey ah u kiraystay, markaasuu dal kale tegey, oo wax badan ku maqnaa.

¹⁰and at the season he sent unto the husbandmen a servant, that from the fruit of the vineyard they may give to him, but the husbandmen having beat him, did send [him] away empty.

¹⁰Goortii xilligii yimid, ayuu addoon u soo diray beerreydii inay isaga siiyaan midhaha beerta, laakiin beerreydii ayaa garaacday oo waxla'aan ku dirtay.

¹¹`And he added to send another servant, and they that one also having beaten and dishonoured, did send away empty;

¹¹Haddana wuxuu diray addoon kale, kaasna way garaaceen, oo ceebeeyeen, oo waxla'aan ku direen.

¹²and he added to send a third, and this one also, having wounded, they did cast out.

¹²Haddana mid saddexaad ayuu diray, kaasna way dhaawaceen oo iska tuureen.

¹³`And the owner of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my son — the beloved, perhaps having seen this one, they will do reverence;

¹³Markaasaa sayidka beerta wuxuu yidhi, Maxaan sameeyaa? Waxaan dirayaa wiilkaygaan jeclahay, malaha way maamuusi doonaan.

¹⁴and having seen him, the husbandmen reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir; come, we may kill him, that the inheritance may become ours;

¹⁴Laakiin beerreydii goortay arkeen, waxay isku yidhaahdeen, Kanu waa kii dhaxalka lahaa; aan dilnee, si aynu dhaxalka u lahaanno.

¹⁵and having cast him outside of the vineyard, they killed [him]; what, then, shall the owner of the vineyard do to them?

¹⁵Markaasay beertii canabka ahayd dibaddeeda ku tuureen, wayna dileen. Haddaba sayidkii beerta canabka ah muxuu iyaga ku samayn doonaa?

¹⁶He will come, and destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others.` And having heard, they said, `Let it not be!`

¹⁶Wuu iman doonaa oo beerreydaas dili doonaa, oo dad kale ayuu beerta canabka ah u dhiibi doonaa. Goortay taas maqleen waxay yidhaahdeen, Yaanay noqon.

¹⁷and he, having looked upon them, said, `What, then, is this that hath been written: A stone that the builders rejected — this became head of a corner?

¹⁷Laakiin wuu eegay oo ku yidhi, Haddaba muxuu yahay waxan la qoray, Dhagaxii kuwa wax dhisaa ay diideen, Kaasu wuxuu noqday madaxa rukunka?

¹⁸every one who hath fallen on that stone shall be broken, and on whom it may fall, it will crush him to pieces.`

¹⁸Mid kasta oo dhagaxaas ku dhacaa, wuu jejebi doonaa, laakiin kan uu ku dhoco, wuu burburin doonaa.

¹⁹And the chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him in that hour, and they feared the people, for they knew that against them he spake this simile.

¹⁹Saacaddaas qudheeda ayaa culimmadii iyo wadaaddadii sare dooneen inay isagii qabtaan; laakiin dadkay ka baqeen; waayo, waxay garteen inuu masaalkan iyaga kaga hadlay.

²⁰And, having watched [him], they sent forth liers in wait, feigning themselves to be righteous, that they might take hold of his word, to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor,

²⁰Wayna dayayeen, oo ay u soo direen jaajuusiin iska dhigaya dad xaq ah, si ay hadalkiisa ugu qabtaan, oo ay ugu gacangeliyaan talada iyo amarka taliyaha.

²¹and they questioned him, saying, `Teacher, we have known that thou dost say and teach rightly, and dost not accept a person, but in truth the way of God dost teach;

²¹Markaasay weyddiiyeen oo ku yidhaahdeen, Macallimow, waxaannu og nahay inaad si hagaagsan wax u tidhaahdo oo wax u bartid, oo aanad ninna u eexan, laakiin aad jidka Ilaah run ku bartid.

²²Is it lawful to us to give tribute to Caesar or not?`

²²Ma xalaal baa inaannu cashuur Kaysar siinno ama inaannan siin?

²³And he, having perceived their craftiness, said unto them, `Why me do ye tempt?

²³Laakiin khiyaanadooda wuu gartay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,

²⁴shew me a denary; of whom hath it an image and superscription?` and they answering said, `Of Caesar:`

²⁴Dinaar i tusa. Yaa leh masawirkan iyo qorniinkan ku yaal? Waxay yidhaahdeen, Kaysar baa leh.

²⁵and he said to them, `Give back, therefore, the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God;`

²⁵Markaasuu ku yidhi, Haddaba Kaysar siiya wixii Kaysar leeyahay, Ilaahna siiya wixii Ilaah leeyahay.

²⁶and they were not able to take hold on his saying before the people, and having wondered at his answer, they were silent.

²⁶Hadalkiisa way ku qaban kari waayeen dadka hortiisa, wayna ka yaabeen jawaabtiisa, oo way aamuseen.

²⁷And certain of the Sadducees, who are denying that there is a rising again, having come near, questioned him,

²⁷Waxaa u yimid qaar Sadukiin ah, kuwii odhan jiray, Sarakicidda kuwii dhintay ma jirto.

²⁸saying, `Teacher, Moses wrote to us, If any one`s brother may die, having a wife, and he may die childless — that his brother may take the wife, and may raise up seed to his brother.

²⁸Oo waxay weyddiiyeen oo ku yidhaahdeen, Macallimow, Muuse wuxuu noo qoray, Nin walaalkiis hadduu dhinto isagoo naag leh oo aan carruur lahayn, walaalkiis naagtiisa waa inuu dumaalo oo uu carruur walaalkiis u dhalo.

²⁹`There were, then, seven brothers, and the first having taken a wife, died childless,

²⁹Haddaba waxaa jiray toddoba walaalo ah. Kii ugu horreeyey naag buu qabay, wuuna dhintay carruurla'aan.

³⁰and the second took the wife, and he died childless,

³⁰Kii labaadna wuu guursaday,

³¹and the third took her, and in like manner also the seven — they left not children, and they died;

³¹oo kii saddexaadna waa dumaalay. Sidaasay toddobadii u wada guursadeen, carruurna kama ay tegin, wayna dhinteen.

³²and last of all died also the woman:

³²Kulligood dabadeed naagtiina waa dhimatay.

³³in the rising again, then, of which of them doth she become wife? — for the seven had her as wife.`

³³Haddaba wakhtiga sarakicidda kuwii dhintay, iyaga kee bay naagtiisa ahaan doontaa? Waayo, toddobadu way wada guursadeen.

³⁴And Jesus answering said to them, `The sons of this age do marry and are given in marriage,

³⁴Ciise wuxuu ku yidhi, Wiilashii wakhtigan waa guursadaan, guurna waa la siiyaa,

³⁵but those accounted worthy to obtain that age, and the rising again that is out of the dead, neither marry, nor are they given in marriage;

³⁵laakiin kuwa loo xisaabay inay istaahilaan inay gaadhaan wakhtigaas iyo ka soo sarakicidda kuwii dhintay ma guursadaan, guurna lama siiyo,

³⁶for neither are they able to die any more — for they are like messengers — and they are sons of God, being sons of the rising again.

³⁶waayo, kol dambe ma dhiman karaan, maxaa yeelay, waxay yihiin sida malaa'igaha, oo waxay yihiin wiilashii Ilaah iyagoo ah wiilashii sarakicidda.

³⁷`And that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the Bush, since he doth call the Lord, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob;

³⁷Laakiin in kuwii dhintay la sara kiciyo Muuse ayaa tilmaamay xaggii geedka markuu Rabbiga ugu yeedhay Ilaaha Ibraahim iyo Ilaaha Isxaaq iyo Ilaaha Yacquub.

³⁸and He is not a God of dead men, but of living, for all live to Him.`

³⁸Laakiin isagu ma aha Ilaaha kuwa dhintay, laakiin waa Ilaaha kuwa nool, waayo, dhammaan isagay u nool yihiin.

³⁹And certain of the scribes answering said, `Teacher, thou didst say well;`

³⁹Culimmada qaarkood ayaa u jawaabay oo ku yidhi, Macallimow, si wanaagsan ayaad u hadashay.

⁴⁰and no more durst they question him anything.

⁴⁰Kol dambe kuma ay dhicin inay wax weyddiiyaan.

⁴¹And he said unto them, `How do they say the Christ to be son of David,

⁴¹Wuxuuna ku yidhi, Sidee bay u yidhaahdaan, Masiixu waa ina Daa'uud?

⁴²and David himself saith in the Book of Psalms, The Lord said to my lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

⁴²Daa'uud qudhiisa ayaa kitaabkii Sabuurrada ku leh, Rabbigu wuxuu Sayidkayga ku yidhi, Midigtayda fadhiiso,

⁴³till I shall make thine enemies thy footstool;

⁴³Ilaa aan cadaawayaashaada cagahaaga hoostooda geliyo.

⁴⁴David, then, doth call him lord, and how is he his son?`

⁴⁴Haddaba Daa'uud ayaa ugu yeedhay Sayid, ee sidee buu wiilkiisa u yahay?

⁴⁵And, all the people hearing, he said to his disciples,

⁴⁵Dadkii oo dhan oo maqlaya, ayuu xertiisii ku yidhi,

⁴⁶`Take heed of the scribes, who are wishing to walk in long robes, and are loving salutations in the markets, and first seats in the synagogues, and first couches in the suppers,

⁴⁶Iska jira culimmada oo doonaya inay khamiisyo dhaadheer ku socdaan, oo jecel salaanta suuqa, iyo kursiyada hore oo sunagogyada, iyo meelaha hore oo diyaafadaha,kuwa wada laasta guryaha carmallada, oo tukashooyin dhaadheer istusid u tukada. Kuwaas waxay heli doonaan xisaab aad u daran.

⁴⁷who devour the houses of the widows, and for a pretence make long prayers, these shall receive more abundant judgment.`

⁴⁷kuwa wada laasta guryaha carmallada, oo tukashooyin dhaadheer istusid u tukada. Kuwaas waxay heli doonaan xisaab aad u daran.
