¹Waxaa Ciise u soo dhowaanayay cashuurqaadayaasha iyo dembilayaasha oo dhan inay maqlaan.

¹Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming close to him to hear him.

²Kolkaasay Farrisiintii iyo culimmadiiba gunuunaceen, iyagoo leh, Ninkanu dembilayaashuu soo dhoweeyaa oo wax la cunaa.

²The Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, “This man welcomes sinners, and eats with them.”

³Markaasuu masaalkan kula hadlay, oo ku yidhi,

³He told them this parable.

⁴Ninkiinnee baa tiro ido ah leh, oo middood ka hallowday, aan sagaal iyo sagaashanka cidlada kaga tegin, oo aan tii hallowday ka daba tegin, ilaa uu soo helo?

⁴ “Which of you men, if you had one hundred sheep, and lost one of them, wouldn’t leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one that was lost, until he found it?

⁵Oo goortuu soo helo, aan garbihiisa saarin, isagoo faraxsan.

⁵ When he has found it, he carries it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

⁶Oo goortuu guriga yimaado, aan isugu yeedhin saaxiibbadiisa iyo derisyadiisa, isagoo ku leh, Ila farxa, waayo, waxaan helay laxdaydii iga hallowday?

⁶ When he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’

⁷Waxaan idinku leeyahay, Sidaas oo kale, farxad ayaa jannada kaga jiri doonta dembile toobad keena in ka badan sagaal iyo sagaashan xaq ah oo aan toobadkeen u baahnayn.

⁷ I tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance.

⁸Ama naagtee baa toban daraakmo oo lacag ah leh, oo hadday daraakmo lumiso, aan laambad shidin, oo aan guriga xaaqin, oo aan dadaal ku doonin ilaa ay hesho?

⁸ Or what woman, if she had ten drachma A drachma coin was worth about 2 days wages for an agricultural laborer. coins, if she lost one drachma coin, wouldn’t light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she found it?

⁹Oo markay hesho, aan saaxiibbadeeda iyo derisyadeeda isugu yeedhin iyadoo ku leh, Ila farxa, waayo, waxaan helay daraakmadii iga luntay.

⁹ When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma which I had lost.’

¹⁰Waxaan idinku leeyahay, Sidaas oo kale markii mid dembi leh toobad keenoba, farxad ayaa kaga jirta malaa'igaha Ilaah hortooda.

¹⁰ Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting.”

¹¹Wuxuuna yidhi, Nin baa laba wiil lahaa.

¹¹He said, “A certain man had two sons.

¹²Kii yaraa ayaa aabbihii ku yidhi, Aabbow, waxaaga qaybtii aan heli lahaa i sii. Markaasuu iyaga u qaybiyey wuxuu ku noolaa.

¹² The younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of your property.’ He divided his livelihood between them.

¹³Maalmo aan badnayn dabadeed wiilkii yaraa waa wada urursaday wax walbaba, oo dhul fog ayuu u safray, halkaas ayuuna wixiisii ku khasaariyey, isagoo iska tumaya.

¹³ Not many days after, the younger son gathered all of this together and traveled into a far country. There he wasted his property with riotous living.

¹⁴Goortuu wada bixiyey dabadeed ayaa abaar daran dhulkaas ka dhacday, wuuna bilaabay inuu baahdo.

¹⁴ When he had spent all of it, there arose a severe famine in that country, and he began to be in need.

¹⁵Goortaasuu tegey oo isku daray nin dadka dhulkaas ah, kan u diray beerihiisa inuu doofaarro daajiyo.

¹⁵ He went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed pigs.

¹⁶Wuxuu damcay inuu calooshiisa ka buuxiyo buunshihii doofaarradu ay cunayeen, ninnana waxba ma uu siin.

¹⁶ He wanted to fill his belly with the husks that the pigs ate, but no one gave him any.

¹⁷Goortuu isgartay ayuu yidhi, Intee baa kuwa aabbahay kiraystay haysata kibis ka badan in ku filan, aniguna macaluul baan halkan ugu bakhtiyayaa.

¹⁷ But when he came to himself he said, ‘How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough to spare, and I’m dying with hunger!

¹⁸Waan kici oo aan aabbahay u tegi, oo waxaan ku odhan, Aabbow, waxaan ku dembaabay jannada iyo hortaadaba.

¹⁸ I will get up and go to my father, and will tell him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight.

¹⁹Kol dambe ma istaahilo in laygu yeedho wiilkaaga, ee iga dhig sida kuwa aad kiraysatay midkood oo kale.

¹⁹ I am no more worthy to be called your son. Make me as one of your hired servants.”’

²⁰Markaasuu kacay, oo wuxuu u yimid aabbihii, laakiin intuu weli ka fogaa ayaa aabbihiis arkay, waana u naxariistay, oo ku soo orday oo qoortuu iskaga duubay, oo dhunkaday.

²⁰ “He arose, and came to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.

²¹Markaasaa wiilkii ku yidhi, Aabbow, waxaan ku dembaabay jannada iyo hortaadaba; kol dambe ma istaahilo in laygu yeedho wiilkaaga.

²¹ The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

²²Laakiin aabbihii ayaa addoommadiisii ku yidhi, Dhaqso u soo bixiya khamiiska ugu wanaagsan oo u geliya, kaatunna gacanta u geliya, kabona cagaha u geliya.

²² “But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe, and put it on him. Put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet.

²³Dibigii yaraa ee la shishleeyey keena oo gowraca, aynu cunno oo faraxno,

²³ Bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let us eat, and celebrate;

²⁴waayo, wiilkaygan wuu dhintay, wuuna soo noolaaday; wuu lumay, waana la helay. Markaasay bilaabeen inay farxaan.

²⁴ for this, my son, was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is found.’ They began to celebrate.

²⁵Laakiin wiilkiisii weynaa beerta buu ku jiray, oo intuu soo socday oo guriga u soo dhowaanayay, wuxuu maqlay muusika iyo cayaar.

²⁵ “Now his elder son was in the field. As he came near to the house, he heard music and dancing.

²⁶Markaasuu midiidinyada midkood u yeedhay oo weyddiiyey, Waa maxay waxaas?

²⁶ He called one of the servants to him, and asked what was going on.

²⁷Markaasuu ku yidhi, Walaalkaa ayaa yimid, aabbahaana dibigii yaraa ee la shishleeyey ayuu u gowracay, waayo, ladnaan buu ku helay.

²⁷ He said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and healthy.’

²⁸Laakiin wuu cadhooday, oo inuu galo ma doonayn, markaasaa aabbihiis soo baxay oo baryay.

²⁸ But he was angry, and would not go in. Therefore his father came out, and begged him.

²⁹Laakiin wuu u jawaabay, oo wuxuu aabbihiis ku yidhi, Bal eeg, intaas oo sannadood ayaan kuu shaqaynayay, oo weligay amarkaaga kama aan xadgudbin, oo weligaa waxar iima aad siin inaan saaxiibbadayda la farxo,

²⁹ But he answered his father, ‘Behold, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed a commandment of yours, but you never gave me a goat, that I might celebrate with my friends.

³⁰Laakiin goortii uu yimid wiilkaagani waxaagii aad ku noolayd dhillooyin la cunay, waxaad u gowracday dibigii yaraa ee la shishleeyey.

³⁰ But when this, your son, came, who has devoured your living with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.’

³¹Markaasuu ku yidhi, Wiilkaygiiyow, weligaa waad ila joogtaa, oo waxayga oo dhan adigaa leh,laakiin waxaa inoo wanaagsanayd inaynu rayrayno oo faraxno, waayo, waalaalkaagani waa dhintay, wuuna soo noolaaday; wuu lumay, waana la helay.

³¹ “He said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.

³²laakiin waxaa inoo wanaagsanayd inaynu rayrayno oo faraxno, waayo, waalaalkaagani waa dhintay, wuuna soo noolaaday; wuu lumay, waana la helay.

³² But it was appropriate to celebrate and be glad, for this, your brother, was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is found.’”
