¹And it came to pass, when Jesus ended directing his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.

¹Goortii Ciise amarkiisa u dhammeeyey laba iyo tobankii xertiisa ahaa, waxaa dhacay inuu meeshaas ka noqday inuu magaalooyinkooda wax ku baro oo ku wacdiyo.

²And John having heard in the prison the works of the Christ, having sent two of his disciples,

²Goortii Yooxanaa xabsiga ka maqlay shuqulladii Masiixa, laba xertiisii ah ayuu u soo diray

³said to him, `Art thou He who is coming, or for another do we look?`

³oo ku yidhi, Miyaad tahay kan imanaya mise mid kale aannu dhawrnaa?

⁴And Jesus answering said to them, `Having gone, declare to John the things that ye hear and see,

⁴Markaasaa Ciise u jawaabay oo ku yidhi, Taga oo Yooxanaa uga warrama waxaad aragteen iyo waxaad maqasheen.

⁵blind receive sight, and lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and deaf hear, dead are raised, and poor have good news proclaimed,

⁵Kuwii indhaha la'aa wax bay arkaan, kuwii lugahala'aana way socdaan, kuwii baraska qabayna waa la nadiifiyey, kuwii dhegahala'aana wax bay maqlaan, kuwii dhintayna waa la kiciyey, masaakiintana injiilka waa lagu wacdiyaa,

⁶and happy is he who may not be stumbled in me.`

⁶oo waxaana barakaysan kan aan iga xumaanin.

⁷And as they are going, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, `What went ye out to the wilderness to view? — a reed shaken by the wind?

⁷Markay tageen, Ciise wuxuu bilaabay inuu dadkii badnaa wax uga sheego Yooxanaa oo wuxuu yidhi, Maxaad cidlada ugu baxdeen? Ma waxay ahayd inaad soo aragtaan cawsduur dabaylu ruxayso?

⁸`But what went ye out to see? — a man clothed in soft garments? lo, those wearing the soft things are in the kings` houses.

⁸Laakiin maxaad u baxdeen? Ma waxay ahayd inaad soo aragtaan nin dhar jilicsan qaba? Kuwa dharka jilicsan qaba waxay joogaan guryaha boqorrada.

⁹`But what went ye out to see? — a prophet? yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet,

⁹Laakiin maxaad u baxdeen? Ma waxay ahayd inaad nebi soo aragtaan? Haah, waxaan idinku leeyahay, mid nebi ka sarreeya.

¹⁰for this is he of whom it hath been written, Lo, I do send My messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.

¹⁰Kanu waa kii laga qoray, Eeg, waxaan hortaada soo dirayaa wargeeyahayga, Kan jidkaaga kuu sii diyaargarayn doona hortaada.

¹¹Verily I say to you, there hath not risen, among those born of women, a greater than John the Baptist, but he who is least in the reign of the heavens is greater than he.

¹¹Runtii waxaan idinku leeyahay, Intii dumar ka dhalatay, mid Yooxanaa Baabtiisaha ka weyn kama dhex kicin, laakiin kan boqortooyadii jannada ugu yar ayaa ka weyn.

¹²`And, from the days of John the Baptist till now, the reign of the heavens doth suffer violence, and violent men do take it by force,

¹²Tan iyo wakhtigii Yooxanaa Baabtiisaha boqortooyada jannada waa la xoogay, oo kuwii xoogayna ayaa qaatay.

¹³for all the prophets and the law till John did prophesy,

¹³Waayo, nebiyadii iyo sharcigu waxay wax sii sheegeen ilaa Yooxanaa.

¹⁴and if ye are willing to receive [it], he is Elijah who was about to come;

¹⁴Haddii aad doonaysaan inaad tan aqbashaan, Kanu waa Eliyaas kan iman lahaa.

¹⁵he who is having ears to hear — let him hear.

¹⁵Kan dhego wax lagu maqlo lahu ha maqlo.

¹⁶`And to what shall I liken this generation? it is like little children in market-places, sitting and calling to their comrades,

¹⁶Maxaan qarnigan u ekaysiiyaa? Wuxuu u eg yahay carruur suuqa fadhida oo kuwa kale u yeedhaysa,

¹⁷and saying, We piped unto you, and ye did not dance, we lamented to you, and ye did not smite the breast.

¹⁷iyagoo leh, Biibiile baannu idiin yeedhinnay, oo waad cayaari weydeen, waannu baroorannay oo waad calaacali weydeen.

¹⁸`For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a demon;

¹⁸Waayo, Yooxanaa waa yimid isagoo aan waxba cunaynin oo cabbaynin, oo waxay yidhaahdaan, Jinni buu qabaa.

¹⁹the Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, Lo, a man, a glutton, and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax-gatherers and sinners, and wisdom was justified of her children.`

¹⁹Wiilka Aadanahuse waa yimid isagoo wax cunaya oo cabbaya, oo waxay yidhaahdaan, Eeg, waa nin cir weyn oo khamriyacab ah oo saaxiib la ah cashuurqaadayaal iyo dembilayaal. Xigmaddu inay xaq tahay waa lagu caddeeyaa shuqulladeeda.

²⁰Then began he to reproach the cities in which were done most of his mighty works, because they did not reform.

²⁰Dabadeed wuxuu bilaabay inuu canaanto magaalooyinkii uu shuqulladiisa xoogga leh badidooda ku dhex sameeyey, waayo, ma ay toobad keenin.

²¹`Wo to thee, Chorazin! wo to thee, Bethsaida! because, if in Tyre and Sidon had been done the mighty works that were done in you, long ago in sackcloth and ashes they had reformed;

²¹Waa kuu hoog, Khorasinay; waa kuu hoog, Beytsayday; waayo, shuqulladii xoogga lahaa oo laydinku dhex sameeyey, haddii Turos iyo Siidoon lagu samayn lahaa, goor horay toobad keeni lahaayeen, iyagoo dhar joonyad ah gashan oo dambas ku fadhiya.

²²but I say to you, to Tyre and Sidon it shall be more tolerable in a day of judgment than for you.

²²Laakiin waxaan idinku leeyahay, Maalinta xisaabta Turos iyo Siidoon waa idinka xisaab fududaan doonaan.

²³`And thou, Capernaum, which unto the heaven wast exalted, unto hades shalt be brought down, because if in Sodom had been done the mighty works that were done in thee, it had remained unto this day;

²³Adiguna Kafarna'umay, samada ma laguu sarraysiin doonaa? Waxaad ku degi doontaa Haadees, waayo, haddii shuqulladii xoogga lahaa oo lagugu dhex sameeyey, Sodom lagu samayn lahaa, ilaa maanta way joogi lahayd.

²⁴but I say to you, to the land of Sodom it shall be more tolerable in a day of judgment than to thee.`

²⁴Laakiin waxaan idinku leeyahay, Maalinta xisaabta, dalka Sodom ayaa kaa xisaab fududaan doona.

²⁵At that time Jesus answering said, `I do confess to Thee, Father, Lord of the heavens and of the earth, that thou didst hide these things from wise and understanding ones, and didst reveal them to babes.

²⁵Wakhtigaas Ciise ayaa hadalkan yidhi, Aabbow, Rabbiga samada iyo dhulkow, waan kugu mahad naqayaa, waayo, waxyaalahan ayaad kuwa caqliga iyo garashada leh ka qarisay, oo waxaad u muujisay ilma yaryar.

²⁶Yes, Father, because so it was good pleasure before Thee.

²⁶Haah, Aabbow, waayo, sidaas ayaa kaa farxisay.

²⁷`All things were delivered to me by my Father, and none doth know the Son, except the Father, nor doth any know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son may wish to reveal [Him].

²⁷Aabbahay wax walbaba waa ii dhiibay; oo ninna Wiilka garan maayo Aabbaha maahee, oo ninna Aabbaha garan maayo Wiilka maahee iyo kii Wiilku doonayo inuu u muujiyo.

²⁸`Come unto me, all ye labouring and burdened ones, and I will give you rest,

²⁸Ii kaalaya kulligiin kuwiinna hawshaysan oo culaabaysanow, oo anigu waan idin nasin doonaa.

²⁹take up my yoke upon you, and learn from me, because I am meek and humble in heart, and ye shall find rest to your souls,

²⁹Harqoodkayga dushiinna ku qaata oo wax iga barta; waayo, waan qaboobahay, qalbigayguna waa hooseeyaa, oo naftiinna nasashaad u heli doontaan.Waayo, harqoodkaygu waa dhib yar yahay, oo rarkayguna waa fudud yahay.

³⁰for my yoke [is] easy, and my burden is light.`

³⁰Waayo, harqoodkaygu waa dhib yar yahay, oo rarkayguna waa fudud yahay.
