Luukos 11
1 Meel buu ku tukanayay, oo goortuu dhammeeyey, mid xertiisa ka mid ah ayaa ku yidhi, Sayidow, na bar si loo tukado, sida Yooxanaa xertiisa u baray.
One day Jesus was somewhere praying. When he finished [praying], one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us [what to say when] we [(exc)] pray, as John [the Baptizer] taught his disciples!”
2 Wuxuu ku yidhi, Goortaad tukanaysaan dhaha, Aabbahayaga jannada ku jirow, magacaagu quduus ha ahaado, boqortooyadaadu ha timaado.
He said to them, “When you pray, say [things like this]: ‘Father, we want you [(sg)] [MTY] to be honored/revered. [We want people to let you(sg)] [MTY, MET] rule over their lives.
3 Maalinba maalin kibistayada nagu filan na sii.
Give us [(exc)] each day the food [SYN] that we need.
4 Oo naga cafi dembiyadayada, waayo, annaguba waa u cafinnaa mid walba oo aannu qaan ku leennahay, oo jirrabaaddana ha noo kaxayn.
Forgive us [for] the wrong things that we have done, because we forgive people for the wrong things that they do to us. Do not let us do wrong things when we are tempted {[someone or something] tempts us}.’”
5 Wuxuuna ku yidhi, Kiinnee baa saaxiib leh oo saqdadhexe u tegaya oo ku odhanaya, Saaxiibow, saddex kibsood i amaahi,
Then he said to them, “Suppose that one of you goes to the house of a friend at midnight. Suppose that you [(sg) stand outside and] call out to him, ‘My friend, please lend me three buns!
6 waayo, saaxiibkay ayaa safar iiga yimid, oo waxaan hor dhigo ma hayo.
Another friend of mine who is traveling has just arrived [at my house], but I have no food [ready] to give to him!’
7 Kaasaana gudaha ka jawaabaya oo odhanaya, Ha i dhibin. Albaabka waa la xidhay; carruurtayduna sariirtay ila jiiftaa; umana kici karo inaan wax ku siiyo.
Suppose that he answers you from inside [his house], ‘Do not bother me! The door has been locked {[We(exc)] have locked the door} and all my family are in bed. [So] I cannot get up and give you [(sg)] anything!’
8 Waxaan idinku leeyahay, In kastoo aanu kici doonin oo aanu siin doonin saaxiibnimadiisa aawadeed, weliba baryo badnaantiisa aawadeed ayuu u kici doonaa oo u siin doonaa in alla intuu u baahan yahay.
I will tell you that even if he does not [want to] get up and give you [any food], to avoid being ashamed [for not helping you] because you are his friend (OR, if without being ashamed you continue asking him to do that), he certainly will get up and give you whatever you need.
9 Waxaan idinku leeyahay, Weyddiista oo waa laydin siin doonaa; doona oo waad heli doontaan; garaaca oo waa laydinka furi doonaa.
So I tell you this: Keep asking [God for what you need]. If you do that, [he] will give it to you [(pl)]. Confidently keep expecting [God to give you the things that you need], and [he] will give them to you [MET]. [It will be like] looking for what you need and finding it. Keep on [praying urgently to God. Then God will answer you. It will be like] knocking [on a door] so that [God] will open [the way] for you [to get what you pray for].
10 Waayo, mid kasta oo weyddiista waa la siiyaa; kii doonaana waa helaa; kii garaacana waa laga furi doonaa.
Remember that [God] will give things to everyone who continues to ask [him for them]. [He] will give things to whoever confidently keeps asking. [He] will open [the way] for people [to get the things that they keep urgently praying for].
11 Midkiinnee baa oo aabbe ah haddii wiilkiisu kibis weyddiisto, dhagax siinaya? Ama hadduu kalluun weyddiisto, kalluunka meeshiis abeeso siinaya?
If one of you had a son who asked you [(sg)] for a fish [to eat], (you [(sg)] certainly would not give him a [poisonous] snake instead!/would you give him a [poisonous] snake instead?) [RHQ]
12 Ama hadduu ukun weyddiisto, dabaqallooc siinaya?
If he asked you for an egg, (you [(sg)] certainly would not give him a scorpion!/would you give him a scorpion?) [RHQ]
13 Haddaba idinka oo shar leh haddaad garanaysaan inaad hadiyado wanaagsan carruurtiinna siisaan, intee ka badan ayaa Aabbihiinna jannada ku jiraa Ruuxa Quduuska ah uu siin doonaa kuwa isaga weyddiista?
Even though you people are evil, you know how to give good things to your children. So your Father in heaven will certainly [give good things] to those who ask him, [including] giving the Holy Spirit, [who is the best gift].”
14 Wuxuu saarayay jinni carrab la'. Waxaana dhacay goortuu jinnigii baxay inuu kii carrabka la'aa hadlay, dadkiina way yaabeen.
[One day there was a man there who, because a demon controlled him] [MTY], was unable to speak. After [Jesus expelled] the demon, the man [began to] talk. [Most of] the people [there] were amazed.
15 Laakiin qaarkood ayaa yidhi, wuxuu jinniyada ku saaraa Be'elsebul oo ah madaxda jinniyada.
But some of them said, “It is Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons, who enables [this man] to expel demons!”
16 Markaasaa kuwa kale oo jirrabaya waxay ka doonayeen inuu calaamo cirka ka tuso.
Other [people there] asked Jesus to perform a miracle [to prove (he was the Messiah/that he had come] from God) [MTY/EUP]. They wanted to trap him [into not being able to perform a miracle or into doing something ridiculous].
17 Laakiin isagoo garanaya fikirradooda ayuu ku yidhi, Boqortooyo walba oo kala qaybsantaa, cidla' bay noqotaa, guri guri ka qaybsamaana waa dumaa.
But Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said to them, “If [the people in] one nation fight against each other, their nation will be destroyed {[they] will destroy their nation}. If [the people in] [MTY] one house are divided, they will cease to remain as one [family].
18 Shayddaankuna hadduu kala qaybsamo, boqortooyadiisu sidee bay u taagnaan doontaa? Waayo, waxaad tidhaahdaan, Waxaad jinniyo ku saartaa Be'elsebul.
[Similarly], if Satan [and his demons] were fighting against each other, (his rule over them would [certainly] not last!/how would his rule over them last?) [RHQ] [I say this] because you are saying that I am expelling demons by [the power of] the ruler of [his own demons]
19 Anigu haddii aan jinniyada ku saaro Be'elsebul, wiilashiinna yay ku saaraan? Sidaa darteed iyagu waxay ahaanayaan xaakinnadiinna.
Furthermore, if [it is true that] Satan enables me to expel demons, [is it also true that] your disciples [who] expel demons [do so] by [Satan’s] power [RHQ]? [No, that is not true]. So they will show that you [are not thinking logically].
20 Laakiin haddaan jinniyada ku saaro farta Ilaah, waxaa idiin timid boqortooyada Ilaah.
But because it is by the power [MTY] of God [that I expel demons], I am showing you [that the power of] God to [MET] rule [people’s lives] has come to you.”
21 Nin xoog leh oo hubaysan markuu ilaalinayo barxaddiisa, alaabtiisu waa nabad gelaysaa.
Then, [to show that by expelling evil spirits he was making it clear that he was much more powerful than Satan, Jesus said] [MET], “When a strong man who has many weapons guards his own house, no one can steal the things in his house.
22 Laakiin mid ka xoog badan goortuu ku soo baxo oo ka adkaado, wuxuu ka qaadaa hubkiisii uu isku halleeyey, oo wuu qaybiyaa wuxuu ka dhacay.
But when someone else who is stronger attacks that man and subdues him, he is able to take away the weapons in which the man trusted. Then he can take from that man’s house anything he [wants to].
23 Kan aan ila jirin waa iga gees, oo kan aan ila ururin waa firdhiyaa.
[No one can be neutral]. Those who do not help me [are opposing] me, and those who do not gather [people to become] my [disciples] are causing [those people] to go away [from me].”
24 Jinniga wasakhda leh goortuu ninka ka baxo, wuxuu maraa meelo aan biyo lahayn, isagoo nasasho doonaya, oo markuu heli waayo, wuxuu yidhaahdaa, Waxaan ku noqonayaa gurigaygii aan ka baxay.
[Then Jesus said this]: “[Sometimes when] an evil spirit leaves someone, it wanders around in desolate areas seeking [someone in whom it can] rest. If it does not find anyone, it says [to itself], ‘I will return to the person in whom I used to live!’
25 Oo goortuu yimaado wuxuu helaa isagoo xaaqan oo hagaagsan.
So it goes back and finds that [the Spirit of God is not in control of that person’s life. The person’s life is like] a house that has been {that someone has} swept clean and everything put {put everything} in order, [but a house that is empty].
26 Markaasuu tagaa oo wuxuu wataa toddoba jinni oo kale oo ka xunxun isaga, wayna galaan oo halkaas joogaan. Ninkaas wakhtigiisa dambe ayaa ka darnaada wakhtiga hore.
Then [this evil spirit] goes and gets seven other spirits that are [even] more evil than it is. They [all] enter [that person] and [begin] living there. [So], [although] that person’s condition [was bad] before, it became much worse.”
27 Waxaa dhacay goortuu waxyaalahaas yidhi, in qof dumar ah oo dadka ka mid ah codkeeda kor u qaadday oo ku tidhi, Waxaa barakaysan uurka ku siday iyo naasihii aad nuugtay.
When Jesus said that, a woman who was listening called out [to him], “[God is] pleased with the woman who gave birth to you [(sg)] and let you nurse [at her breasts]!”
28 Laakiin wuxuu ku yidhi, Runtaa, laakiin waxaa barakaysan kuwa ereyga Ilaah maqla oo xajiya.
But he replied, “God [is] much more pleased with those who hear his message and obey it!”
29 Goortii dadkii badnaa isugu soo ururayeen, wuxuu bilaabay inuu yidhaahdo, Qarniganu waa qarni shareed; calaamo bay doonayaan, lamana siin doono, calaamada Yoonis maahee.
When the group of people around [Jesus] got larger, he said, “[Many of] you people who have been observing my ministry are evil. You want [me to perform] a miracle [to prove that I have come from God], but the only miracle that [I] will perform for you is one [like happened to] Jonah.
30 Waayo, sida Yoonis calaamo ugu noqday reer Nineweh, sidaas oo kale ayuu Wiilka Aadanahu calaamo ugu ahaan doonaa qarnigan.
[After Jonah was inside a huge fish for three days, God performed] a miracle [to restore] Jonah. [Jonah then went and testified about that] to the people in Nineveh [city. God will perform] a similar miracle [for me], the one who came from heaven. [When you people have seen that miracle, you will believe my message].
31 Boqoradda koonfureed waxay xisaabta la kici doontaa dadka qarnigan, wayna xukumi doontaa, waayo, waxay ka timid meesha dhulka ugu shishaysa inay xigmadda Sulaymaan maqasho, oo bal eeg, mid Sulaymaan ka weyn ayaa halkan jooga.
[Long ago the] queen from [Sheba], [far] south [of Israel, traveled a long distance to hear Solomon speak many] wise things. But now [I, a man] who [is much] greater [and wiser] than Solomon, am here, [but you have not listened to what I have told you]. Therefore, at the time when [God] judges [all people], the queen from [Sheba] will stand there, [along] with you people, and will condemn you.
32 Nimanka Nineweh waxay xisaabta isla taagi doonaan dadka qarnigan, wayna xukumi doonaan, waayo, waxay ku toobadkeeneen wacdigii Yoonis, oo bal eeg, mid Yoonis ka weyn ayaa halkan jooga.
The people who lived in Nineveh [city] turned from their sinful ways when Jonah preached to them. But now I, who am greater than Jonah, have come [and preached to you], [but you have not turned from your sinful ways]. Therefore, at the time when God judges [all people], the people who lived in Nineveh will stand there with you and condemn you.”
33 Ma jiro nin, goortuu ilays shido, dhiga meel qarsoon ama weel hoostiisa, laakiin wuxuu saaraa meeshii ilayska si ay kuwa soo galaa iftiinka u arkaan.
[Then, to show them that they did not need more miracles, but that they needed only to understand better what he had already told them, he said to them] [MET], “People who light a lamp do not then hide it, or put it under a basket. Instead, they put it on a lampstand so that those who enter [their house] can see [things from] its light. [Similarly, I have not concealed God’s truth. I have revealed it to you].
34 Ilayska jidhkaagu waa ishaada, ishaaduna markay hagaagsan tahay, jidhkaaga oo dhammu waa iftiimaa, laakiin goortay xun tahay, jidhkaaguna waa gudcur.
Your eyes [MET] are like a lamp for your body, because they enable you to see things. If your eyes are healthy, you are able to see everything well [MET]. [Similarly, if you(sg) accept my teaching, you will be able to know all that God wants you to know]. But if your eyes are bad, you are not able to see anything. It is like being in darkness [MET]. [And similarly, if you(pl) do not accept what I teach, you will not be able to know all the things that God wants you to know].
35 Haddaba iska jir si iftiinka kugu jiraa aanu gudcur u ahaan.
Therefore, [you(pl) do not need to see more miracles. You need to think carefully about what I have already] told you, so that the things that you have heard from others do not cause you to remain in spiritual darkness [MET].
36 Haddaba haddii jidhkaaga oo dhammu iftiimo, aanuna lahayn meel gudcur ah, waa wada iftiimaa, sida goortii ilayska dhalaalayaa uu kuu iftiimiyo.
If you [live completely according to God’s truth, you will be able to know everything that God wants you to know. It will be like] being in a room with a lamp shining brightly, enabling you to see everything clearly.”
37 Goortuu hadlayay, nin Farrisi ah ayaa weyddiistay inuu wax la cuno; wuuna galay gurigiisa, oo cunto u fadhiistay.
While Jesus finished saying those things, a Pharisee invited him to eat a meal with him. So Jesus went to [his house] and ate with him.
38 Farrisigii markuu arkay waa yaabay, waayo, cuntada horteed ma uu faraxalan.
The Pharisee was surprised when he saw that Jesus did not follow the Pharisees’ ritual by washing his hands before eating. [The Pharisees washed their hands in a certain way to be cleansed from anything that might have contaminated them. They were afraid that God might reject them if they] had [touched something unacceptable to God].
39 Sayidka ayaa ku yidhi, Haddeer idinkoo Farrisiin ah waxaad dusha ka nadiifisaan koobka iyo xeedhada, laakiin xaggiinna hoose waxaa ka buuxa dulun iyo shar.
The Lord [Jesus] said to him, “You Pharisees are [concerned about things that are outside your bodies, not with what is in your] ([inner beings/hearts]) [MET]. You wash the outside of cups and dishes [before you eat because you think that doing that will make you acceptable to God], but within yourselves you are very greedy and wicked.
40 Doqonno yahow, kii dusha sameeyey miyaanu gudahana samaynin?
You foolish people! [God] is concerned about things that are outside [our bodies], but (he is certainly also concerned about our inner [beings]!/isn’t he also concerned about our hearts?) [RHQ]
41 Laakiin waxa gudaha ah sadaqad u bixiya, oo bal eeg, wax walba waa idiin nadiifsan yihiin.
Give [money] to those who are poor. [Give according to what you know within] your (inner [/heart]) [that you should give]. Then you [will be surprised to realize that] you will be acceptable [to God without having to perform all those rituals about washing].
42 Laakiin waa idiin hoog, Farrisiin yahay, waayo, reexaanta iyo kabsarta iyo khodaarta oo dhan toban meelood ayaad meel ka bixisaan, oo waxaad dhaaftaan xukunka iyo jeclaanta Ilaah. Waxaad lahaydeen inaad waxan samaysaan oo aydnaan kuwa kale dhaafin.
But there will be terrible punishment for you Pharisees! You give to God a tenth of [all you produce, even] the various herbs that you grow, but you do not [remember that you must act] justly [toward others] and love God! It is good to [give a tenth of your income to God], but you ought to do these other things also!
43 Waa idiin hoog, Farrisiin yahay, waayo, waxaad jeceshihiin kursiyada hore oo sunagogyada, iyo salaanta suuqa.
There will be terrible punishment for you Pharisees, because you like [to sit in] the best seats in our worship places [so that people will think highly of you], and you like people to greet you [respectfully] in the marketplaces.
44 Waa idiin hoog, waayo, waxaad tihiin sida xabaalo aan muuqanaynin; nimanka dul marayaana aanay garanaynin.
There will be terrible punishment for you, because you are like ground where there is no marker [to indicate that there is a] grave [underneath]. People walk there, but they cannot see [what is rotten down below] [MET]! [Similarly, people who see you do not realize how polluted you are within yourselves].”
45 Kuwa sharciga yaqaan midkood ayaa u jawaabay oo ku yidhi, Macallimow, markaad waxaas leedahay, annagana waad na caayaysaa.
One of those who taught the [Jewish] laws replied, “Teacher, by saying this you [(sg)] are criticizing us [also]!”
46 Markaasuu ku yidhi, Idinkana waa idiin hoog, sharciga sheegayaal yahow, waayo, waxaad nimanka ku rartaan wax culus oo qaadiddoodu dhib leedahay; idinkuse farihiinna middood kuma taabataan culaabta.
Jesus said, “It will be terrible also for you who teach the [Jewish] laws! You require people [to obey many rules that are difficult to obey] [MET]. [That is like making them] carry heavy burdens on their backs. But you yourselves do not obey the laws [that you require others to obey]. (OR, you do not do anything to help [others to obey the laws].)
47 Waa idiin hoog, waayo, waxaad dhistaan xabaalaha nebiyada, awowayaashiinse way dileen.
There will be terrible punishment for you! You decorate the tombs of the prophets whom your ancestors killed, [but you do not live according to what the prophets taught].
48 Haddaba waxaad tihiin markhaatiyaal oo aad oggoshihiin shuqulkii awowayaashiin, waayo, iyagaa dilay, idinkuna waad dhistaan xabaalahooda.
So you are declaring that you approve of what your ancestors did. They killed the prophets, and you [are not honoring the prophets! You just] decorate their tombs!
49 Sidaa darteed xigmadda Ilaah ayaa tidhi, Waxaan u diri doonaa nebiyo iyo rasuullo; qaarkood waa la dili doonaa oo la silcin doonaa,
So God, who is very wise [PRS], said, ‘I will send prophets and apostles [to you Jews]. [You] will kill some of them and cause some of them to suffer greatly.
50 in qarnigan la weyddiiyo dhiiggii nebiyada oo dhan oo daatay tan iyo aasaaskii dunida,
[As a result, I] will consider that many of you people [who have observed my Son’s ministry] will be guilty [MTY] [of murder, as if you had] killed all the prophets that other people have killed, from the time I created the world,
51 oo laga bilaabo dhiiggii Haabiil ilaa dhiiggii Sakariyas kii ku dhintay meeshii allabariga iyo meesha quduuska ah dhexdooda. Runtii, waxaan idinku leeyahay, Qarnigan ayaa la weyddiin doonaa.
starting from [Adam’s son Cain] killing [his brother] Abel and continuing until they killed the prophet Zechariah [in the holy place] between the altar and the temple.’ Yes, what I am saying [is true] [MTY]. [God] will punish you people who have observed my ministry, you people whom [he] considers to be guilty [MTY] for [killing] all those prophets!
52 Waa idiin hoog, sharciga sheegayaal yahow, waayo, furihii garashada ayaad qaaddeen. Idinka qudhiinnu ma gelin, oo kuwii gelayayna ayaad ka hor joogsateen.
There will be terrible punishment for you men who teach the [Jewish] laws, because you have [not let people] know [God’s truth] [MET]! [It is as though you are] taking away a key [to a house]. You are not going into [the house] yourselves, and you are not letting other people enter it, either.”
53 Oo kolkuu meeshaas ka baxay, culimmada iyo Farrisiintu waxay bilaabeen inay aad ugu dhirfaan iyo inay wax badan kaga hadlisiiyaan,
After Jesus finished saying those things, he left there. Then the men who taught the [Jewish] laws and the Pharisees began to act in a very hostile way toward him. They tried to make him say what he thought about many things.
54 iyagoo gaadaya inay ku qabtaan wixii afkiisa ka soo baxa.
They kept waiting for him to say something [wrong] for which they could accuse him.
