¹At that hour came the disciples near to Jesus, saying, `Who, now, is greater in the reign of the heavens?`

¹Saacaddaas ayaa xertii u timid Ciise oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Yaa haddaba boqortooyada jannada ugu weyn?

²And Jesus having called near a child, did set him in the midst of them,

²Markaasuu wuxuu u yeedhay ilmo yar, oo dhexdooda ayuu joojiyey oo yidhi,

³and said, `Verily I say to you, if ye may not be turned and become as the children, ye may not enter into the reign of the heavens;

³Runtii waxaan idinku leeyahay, Haddaydnan soo jeesan oo aydnaan noqon sida carruur oo kale, boqortooyada jannada ma geli doontaan.

⁴whoever then may humble himself as this child, he is the greater in the reign of the heavens.

⁴Ku alla kii haddaba isu hoosaysiiya sida ilmahan oo kale, kaas ayaa ugu weyn boqortooyada jannada,

⁵`And he who may receive one such child in my name, doth receive me,

⁵oo ku alla kii magacayga ilmahan oo kale ku aqbalaa, wuu i aqbalaa.

⁶and whoever may cause to stumble one of those little ones who are believing in me, it is better for him that a weighty millstone may be hanged upon his neck, and he may be sunk in the depth of the sea.

⁶Laakiin ku alla kii xumeeya yaryarkan i rumaystay midkood, waxaa u roon in dhagaxshiid luqunta looga lalmiyo oo badda moolkeeda lagu hafiyo.

⁷`Wo to the world from the stumbling-blocks! for there is a necessity for the stumbling-blocks to come, but wo to that man through whom the stumbling-block doth come!

⁷Waa u hoog dunida xumaanta aawadeed! Xumaantu waa inay timaado, laakiin waa u hoog ninka ay xumaantu ka timaado.

⁸`And if thy hand or thy foot doth cause thee to stumble, cut them off and cast from thee; it is good for thee to enter into the life lame or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet, to be cast to the fire the age-during.

⁸Haddii gacantaadu ama cagtaadu ku xumayso, iska jar, oo iska tuur. Waxaa kuu wanaagsan inaad gacanla'aan iyo lugla'aan nolosha ku gashid intii adigoo laba gacmood iyo laba cagood leh lagugu tuuri lahaa dabka weligiis ah.

⁹`And if thine eye doth cause thee to stumble, pluck it out and cast from thee; it is good for thee one-eyed to enter into the life, rather than having two eyes to be cast to the gehenna of the fire.

⁹Haddii ishaaduna ku xumayso iska bixi oo iska tuur. Waxaa kuu wanaagsan inaad il keliya nolosha ku gashid intii adigoo laba indhood leh lagugu tuuri lahaa jahannamada dabka ah.

¹⁰`Beware! — ye may not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you, that their messengers in the heavens do always behold the face of my Father who is in the heavens,

¹⁰Iska jira inaydnaan yaryarkan midkood quudhsan, waayo, waxaan idinku leeyahay, Mar walba malaa'igahooda jannada ku jira ayaa wejiga Aabbahayga jannada ku jira eegaya.

¹¹for the Son of Man did come to save the lost.

¹¹Waayo, Wiilka Aadanahu wuxuu u yimid inuu badbaadsho kii lumay.

¹²`What think ye? if a man may have an hundred sheep, and there may go astray one of them, doth he not — having left the ninety-nine, having gone on the mountains — seek that which is gone astray?

¹²Maxay idinla tahay, Nin hadduu tiro ido ah leeyahay oo middood ay ka hallowdo, miyaanu sagaal iyo sagaashanka buuraha dushooda kaga tegin oo doonin tii hallowday?

¹³and if it may come to pass that he doth find it, verily I say to you, that he doth rejoice over it more than over the ninety-nine that have not gone astray;

¹³Oo hadday noqoto inuu helo, runtii waxaan idinku leeyahay, taas aad buu ugu farxaa si uusan ugu farxin sagaal iyo sagaashankii aan hallaabin.

¹⁴so it is not will in presence of your Father who is in the heavens, that one of these little ones may perish.

¹⁴Sidaas oo kale, ma aha doonista Aabbihiinna jannada ku jira in yaryarkan midkood lumo.

¹⁵`And if thy brother may sin against thee, go and show him his fault between thee and him alone, if he may hear thee, thou didst gain thy brother;

¹⁵Oo haddii walaalkaa kugu dembaabo, u tag oo canaano, adiga iyo isaga keli ahaantiinna. Hadduu ku maqlo, walaalkaa waad soo ceshatay.

¹⁶and if he may not hear, take with thee yet one or two, that by the mouth of two witnesses or three every word may stand.

¹⁶Laakiin hadduu ku maqli waayo, mid ama laba kale wado, si hadal walba loogu adkeeyo afka laba ama saddex markhaati.

¹⁷`And if he may not hear them, say [it] to the assembly, and if also the assembly he may not hear, let him be to thee as the heathen man and the tax-gatherer.

¹⁷Oo hadduu iyaga maqli waayo, dadka kiniisadda u sheeg, oo hadduu dadka kiniisadda maqli waayona, ha kuu ahaado sida qof aan Ilaah aaminin iyo cashuurqaade.

¹⁸`Verily I say to you, Whatever things ye may bind upon the earth shall be having been bound in the heavens, and whatever things ye may loose on the earth shall be having been loosed in the heavens.

¹⁸Runtii waxaan idinku leeyahay, Wax alla wixii aad dhulka ku xidhaan ayaa jannada ku xidhnaan doona, oo wax alla wixii aad dhulka ku furtaan ayaa jannada ku furnaan doona.

¹⁹`Again, I say to you, that, if two of you may agree on the earth concerning anything, whatever they may ask — it shall be done to them from my Father who is in the heavens,

¹⁹Weliba waxaan idinku leeyahay, Haddii laba idinka mid ahu dhulka ku heshiiyaan wax kastoo ay baryaan, way uga noqon doontaa xagga Aabbahayga jannada ku jira.

²⁰for where there are two or three gathered together — to my name, there am I in the midst of them.`

²⁰Waayo, meeshii laba ama saddex qof ay magacayga isugu soo ururaan, halkaas anigu dhexdoodaan joogaa.

²¹Then Peter having come near to him, said, `Sir, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him — till seven times?`

²¹Markaas Butros ayaa u yimid oo ku yidhi, Sayidow, immisa goor baan cafiyaa walaalkay hadduu igu dembaabo? Ma ilaa toddoba goor baa?

²²Jesus saith to him, `I do not say to thee till seven times, but till seventy times seven.

²²Ciise ayaa ku yidhi, Kugu odhan maayo, Ilaa toddoba goor, laakiin, Ilaa toddobaatan goor oo toddoba ah.

²³`Because of this was the reign of the heavens likened to a man, a king, who did will to take reckoning with his servants,

²³Sidaa darteed boqortooyada jannada waxaa loo ekaysiiyaa nin boqor ah oo doonayay inuu addoommadiisa ka xisaab qaato.

²⁴and he having begun to take account, there was brought near to him one debtor of a myriad of talents,

²⁴Goortuu bilaabay inuu xisaab qaato waxaa loo keenay nin toban kun oo talanti uu ku lahaa.

²⁵and he having nothing to pay, his lord did command him to be sold, and his wife, and the children, and all, whatever he had, and payment to be made.

²⁵Laakiin wuxuu ku bixiyo ma uu haysan. Markaasaa sayidkii wuxuu ku amray in la iibiyo isaga iyo naagtiisa iyo carruurtiisa iyo wuxuu lahaa oo dhan, oo lagu bixiyo.

²⁶The servant then, having fallen down, was bowing to him, saying, Sir, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all;

²⁶Addoonkii haddaba wuu dhacay, oo intuu sujuuday, ayuu wuxuu ku yidhi, Ii dulqaado, anna waan wada bixin doonaaye.

²⁷and the lord of that servant having been moved with compassion did release him, and the debt he forgave him.

²⁷Markaasaa addoonkaas sayidkiisii u naxariistay, wuuna sii daayay, oo amaahdii wuu u dhaafay.

²⁸`And, that servant having come forth, found one of his fellow-servants who was owing him an hundred denaries, and having laid hold, he took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that which thou owest.

²⁸Laakiin addoonkaas ayaa baxay oo helay mid ka mid ah addoommadii uu la shaqayn jiray, kii uu ku lahaa boqol dinaar. Wuu qabtay oo intuu ceejiyey ayuu ku yidhi, Bixi waxa lagugu leeyahay.

²⁹His fellow-servant then, having fallen down at his feet, was calling on him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all;

²⁹Addoonkii uu la shaqayn jiray ayaa haddaba cagihiisii isku riday oo baryay, oo ku yidhi, Ii dulqaado, anna waan bixin doonaaye.

³⁰and he would not, but having gone away, he cast him into prison, till he might pay that which was owing.

³⁰Isaguse ma uu doonaynin, laakiin wuu baxay oo xabsiga ku tuuray ilaa uu bixiyo wixii lagu lahaa.

³¹`And his fellow-servants having seen the things that were done, were grieved exceedingly, and having come, shewed fully to their lord all the things that were done;

³¹Haddaba kuwii la shaqayn jiray, goortay arkeen wixii dhacay, aad bay u calool xumaadeen, oo intay sayidkooda u yimaadeen, ayay u sheegeen wixii dhacay oo dhan.

³²then having called him, his lord saith to him, Evil servant! all that debt I did forgive thee, seeing thou didst call upon me,

³²Markaasaa sayidkiisii u yeedhay oo ku yidhi, Addoon yahow sharkaluhu! Waxaan kugu lahaa oo dhan waan kuu dhaafay, waayo, waad i bariday.

³³did it not behove also thee to have dealt kindly with thy fellow-servant, as I also dealt kindly with thee?

³³Miyaanad lahayn inaad kii kula shaqayn jiray u naxariisatid sidaan anigu kuugu naxariistay?

³⁴`And having been wroth, his lord delivered him to the inquisitors, till he might pay all that was owing to him;

³⁴Markaasaa sayidkiisu cadhooday oo u dhiibay kuwa dadka silciya ilaa uu bixiyo wixii lagu lahaa oo dhan.Sidaas oo kalena ayaa Aabbahayga jannada ku jiraa idinku samayn doonaa, haddaan midkiin waliba qalbiga ka cafiyin walaalkiis.

³⁵so also my heavenly Father will do to you, if ye may not forgive each one his brother from your hearts their trespasses.`

³⁵Sidaas oo kalena ayaa Aabbahayga jannada ku jiraa idinku samayn doonaa, haddaan midkiin waliba qalbiga ka cafiyin walaalkiis.
