¹Si Ciise u tuso inay waajib ku tahay iyaga inay mar walba tukadaan oo aanay ka qalbi jabin, wuxuu iyaga kula hadlay masaal isagoo leh,

¹And he spake also a simile to them, that it behoveth [us] always to pray, and not to faint,

²Waxaa magaalo joogay xaakin aan Ilaah ka baqi jirin, ninnana aan danayn jirin.

²saying, `A certain judge was in a certain city — God he is not fearing, and man he is not regarding —

³Waxaana magaaladaas joogtay carmal ninkeedii ka dhintay, marar badanna way u timid, iyadoo ku leh, Cadowgayga iga xaq sii.

³and a widow was in that city, and she was coming unto him, saying, Do me justice on my opponent,

⁴Intii wakhti ah ayuu yeeli waayay, laakiin dabadeed wuxuu isku yidhi, In kastoo aanan Ilaah ka baqin, oo aanan ninna danayn,

⁴and he would not for a time, but after these things he said in himself, Even if God I do not fear, and man do not regard,

⁵weliba dhibta ay carmalkan i dhibayso aawadeed, waan xaq siin doonaa, si aanay marar badan iigu soo noqnoqon oo ii daalin.

⁵yet because this widow doth give me trouble, I will do her justice, lest, perpetually coming, she may plague me.`

⁶Markaasaa Rabbigu yidhi, Maqla wixii xaakinkii xaqa darnaa yidhi.

⁶And the Lord said, `Hear ye what the unrighteous judge saith:

⁷Ilaahna miyaanu xaq siin doonin kuwuu doortay oo habeen iyo maalinba u qayliya; oo miyaanu u dulqaadan doonin?

⁷and shall not God execute the justice to His choice ones, who are crying unto Him day and night — bearing long in regard to them?

⁸Waxaan idinku leeyahay, Dhaqsoba wuu u xaq siin doonaa; hase ahaatee goortuu Wiilka Aadanahu yimaado, markaas rumaysad ma ka heli doonaa dhulka?

⁸I say to you, that He will execute the justice to them quickly; but the Son of Man having come, shall he find the faith upon the earth?`

⁹Masaalkan ayuu kula hadlay qaar ismoodayay inay xaq yihiin oo kuwa kale quudhsaday.

⁹And he spake also unto certain who have been trusting in themselves that they were righteous, and have been despising the rest, this simile:

¹⁰Laba nin ayaa tegey inay macbudka ku tukadaan; mid Farrisi buu ahaa, kan kalena cashuurqaade.

¹⁰`Two men went up to the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax-gatherer;

¹¹Farrisigii intuu istaagay ayuu waxyaalahan isugu tukaday, Ilaahow, waxaan kuugu mahad naqayaa inaanan ahayn sida nimanka kale oo wax dulma, iyo kuwa xaqa daran, iyo dhillayaasha, ama xataa sida cashuurqaadahan.

¹¹the Pharisee having stood by himself, thus prayed: God, I thank Thee that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unrighteous, adulterers, or even as this tax-gatherer;

¹²Toddobaadkiiba laba kol ayaan soomaa, waxaan haysta oo dhanna toban meelood ayaan meel ka bixiyaa.

¹²I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all things — as many as I possess.

¹³Laakiin cashuurqaadihii meel fog ayuu ka istaagay, ma uuna doonaynin inuu indhihiisa cirka u qaado, laakiin laabtiisa ayuu garaacay isagoo leh, Ilaahow, ii naxariiso anigoo dembi leh.

¹³`And the tax-gatherer, having stood afar off, would not even the eyes lift up to the heaven, but was smiting on his breast, saying, God be propitious to me — the sinner!

¹⁴Waxaan idinku leeyahay, Kan iyo kii kale, kan baa gurigiisa tegey isagoo la caddeeyey inuu xaq yahay; waayo, mid kasta oo isa sarraysiiya waa la hoosaysiin doonaa, oo kii is-hoosaysiiyana waa la sarraysiin doonaa.

¹⁴I say to you, this one went down declared righteous, to his house, rather than that one: for every one who is exalting himself shall be humbled, and he who is humbling himself shall be exalted.`

¹⁵Ilmo yaryar ayay u keeneen inuu taabto, laakiin goortii xertii aragtay, ayay canaanteen.

¹⁵And they were bringing near also the babes, that he may touch them, and the disciples having seen did rebuke them,

¹⁶Laakiin Ciise ayaa u yeedhay oo ku yidhi, Ilmaha yaryar daaya, ha ii yimaadeene, hana diidina, waayo, kuwan oo kale ayaa ka mid ah boqortooyada Ilaah.

¹⁶and Jesus having called them near, said, `Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the reign of God;

¹⁷Runtii waxaan idinku leeyahay, Ku alla kii aan boqortooyada Ilaah u aqbalin sida ilmo yar oo kale, meeshaas ma uu geli doono.

¹⁷verily I say to you, Whoever may not receive the reign of God as a little child, may not enter into it.`

¹⁸Taliye ayaa weyddiiyey isagoo leh, Macallin wanaagsanow, maxaan sameeyaa inaan nolosha weligeed ah dhaxlo?

¹⁸And a certain ruler questioned him, saying, `Good teacher, what having done — shall I inherit life age-during?`

¹⁹Markaasaa Ciise ku yidhi, Maxaad iigu yeedhaysaa wanaagsanow? Mid wanaagsan ma jiro mid maahee, kaasuna waa Ilaah.

¹⁹And Jesus said to him, `Why me dost thou call good? no one [is] good, except One — God;

²⁰Qaynuunnada waad taqaan, Waa inaanad sinaysan, Waa inaanad qudh gooyn, Waa inaanad wax xadin, Waa inaanad marag been ah furin, Aabbahaa iyo hooyadaana maamuus.

²⁰the commands thou hast known: Thou mayest not commit adultery, Thou mayest do no murder, Thou mayest not steal, Thou mayest not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.`

²¹Markaasuu yidhi, Kuwaas oo dhan tan iyo yaraantaydii waan dhawray.

²¹And he said, `All these I did keep from my youth;`

²²Ciise goortuu waxaas maqlay ayuu ku yidhi, Weli wax keliya ayaa kuu dhiman. Waxaad haysatid oo dhan iibi, oo masaakiinta u qaybi, oo waxaad jannada ku lahaan doontaa maal, ee kaalay oo i soo raac.

²²and having heard these things, Jesus said to him, `Yet one thing to thee is lacking; all things — as many as thou hast — sell, and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven, and come, be following me;`

²³Laakiin goortuu waxaas maqlay ayuu aad uga caloolxumaaday, waayo, aad buu hodan u ahaa.

²³and he, having heard these things, became very sorrowful, for he was exceeding rich.

²⁴Ciise goortuu arkay, wuxuu yidhi, Kuwa hodanka ah waa ku adag tahay inay boqortooyada Ilaah galaan,

²⁴And Jesus having seen him become very sorrowful, said, `How hardly shall those having riches enter into the reign of God!

²⁵waayo, nin hodan ah inuu boqortooyada Ilaah galo waxaa ka hawl yar in awr irbad daloolkeeda ka duso.

²⁵for it is easier for a camel through the eye of a needle to enter, than for a rich man into the reign of God to enter.`

²⁶Markaasaa kuwa maqlay waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Haddaba yaa badbaadi kara?

²⁶And those who heard, said, `And who is able to be saved?`

²⁷Wuxuuse ku yidhi, Waxa aan dadka u suurtoobin, Ilaah waa u suurtoobaan.

²⁷and he said, `The things impossible with men are possible with God.`

²⁸Butros ayaa ku yidhi, Bal eeg, waxayagii ayaannu ka tagnay, waana ku raacnay.

²⁸And Peter said, `Lo, we left all, and did follow thee;`

²⁹Wuxuuna ku yidhi, Runtii waxaan idinku leeyahay. Ma jiro nin boqortooyada Ilaah aawadeed uga tegey guri, ama afo, ama walaalo, ama waalid, ama carruur,

²⁹and he said to them, `Verily I say to you, that there is not one who left house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children, for the sake of the reign of God,

³⁰oo aan haatan helayn labanlaab badan, wakhtiga imanayana nolosha weligeed ah.

³⁰who may not receive back manifold more in this time, and in the coming age, life age-during.`

³¹Laba-iyo-tobankii ayuu watay oo ku yidhi, Waxaynu ku soconnaa Yeruusaalem, oo wax walba oo nebiyadu qoreen ayaa Wiilka Aadanaha u noqon doona.

³¹And having taken the twelve aside, he said unto them, `Lo, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things shall be completed — that have been written through the prophets — to the Son of Man,

³²Waayo, isaga waxaa loo dhiibi doonaa dadka aan Yuhuudda ahayn, waana lagu kajami doonaa, oo la caayi doonaa, oo lagu tufi doonaa,

³²for he shall be delivered up to the nations, and shall be mocked, and insulted, and spit upon,

³³wayna karbaashi doonaan oo dili doonaan, maalinta saddexaadna wuu soo sara kici doonaa.

³³and having scourged they shall put him to death, and on the third day he shall rise again.`

³⁴Laakiin waxyaalahaas waxba kama ay garan, hadalkaasna waa ka qarsoonaa, mana ay garan wixii la yidhi.

³⁴And they none of these things understood, and this saying was hid from them, and they were not knowing the things said.

³⁵Waxaa noqotay markuu Yerixoo ku soo dhowaaday, in nin indha la' jidka ag fadhiyey oo dawarsanayay,

³⁵And it came to pass, in his coming nigh to Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting beside the way begging,

³⁶oo goortuu maqlay dadka badan oo ag maraya ayuu weyddiiyey waxaas waxay ahaayeen.

³⁶and having heard a multitude going by, he was inquiring what this may be,

³⁷Waxay u sheegeen in Ciisihii Reer Naasared ag marayo.

³⁷and they brought him word that Jesus the Nazarene doth pass by,

³⁸Markaasuu qayliyey isagoo leh, Ciise, ina Daa'uudow, ii naxariiso.

³⁸and he cried out, saying, `Jesus, Son of David, deal kindly with me;`

³⁹Kuwa hor marayay ayaa canaantay si uu u aamuso, laakiin si ka badan ayuu ugu qayliyey, Ina Daa'uudow, ii naxariiso.

³⁹and those going before were rebuking him, that he might be silent, but he was much more crying out, `Son of David, deal kindly with me.`

⁴⁰Markaasaa Ciise joogsaday oo wuxuu ku amray in loo keeno, oo goortuu u soo dhowaaday ayuu weyddiiyey, oo ku yidhi,

⁴⁰And Jesus having stood, commanded him to be brought unto him, and he having come nigh, he questioned him,

⁴¹Maxaad doonaysaa inaan kuu sameeyo? Wuxuu ku yidhi, Sayidow, inaan wax arko.

⁴¹saying, `What wilt thou I shall do to thee?` and he said, `Sir, that I may receive sight.`

⁴²Markaasaa Ciise ku yidhi, Wax arag; rumaysadkaaga ayaa ku bogsiiyey.Kolkiiba ayuu wax arkay, wuuna raacay oo Ilaah ammaanay. Dadkii oo dhanna goortay arkeen, ayay Ilaah ammaaneen.

⁴²And Jesus said to him, `Receive thy sight; thy faith hath saved thee;`

⁴³Kolkiiba ayuu wax arkay, wuuna raacay oo Ilaah ammaanay. Dadkii oo dhanna goortay arkeen, ayay Ilaah ammaaneen.

⁴³and presently he did receive sight, and was following him, glorifying God; and all the people, having seen, did give praise to God.
