Luukos 18
1 Si Ciise u tuso inay waajib ku tahay iyaga inay mar walba tukadaan oo aanay ka qalbi jabin, wuxuu iyaga kula hadlay masaal isagoo leh,
[Jesus] told [his disciples] a parable to teach them that they always ought to pray confidently and not be discouraged [if God does not immediately answer their prayers].
2 Waxaa magaalo joogay xaakin aan Ilaah ka baqi jirin, ninnana aan danayn jirin.
He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who did not revere God, and did not care about people, either.
3 Waxaana magaaladaas joogtay carmal ninkeedii ka dhintay, marar badanna way u timid, iyadoo ku leh, Cadowgayga iga xaq sii.
There was a widow in that city who kept coming to him, saying, ‘Please decide what is just [in the dispute between me and] the man who is opposing me [in court!’]
4 Intii wakhti ah ayuu yeeli waayay, laakiin dabadeed wuxuu isku yidhi, In kastoo aanan Ilaah ka baqin, oo aanan ninna danayn,
For a long time the judge refused [to help her]. But later he thought to himself, ‘I do not revere God and I do not care about people,
5 weliba dhibta ay carmalkan i dhibayso aawadeed, waan xaq siin doonaa, si aanay marar badan iigu soo noqnoqon oo ii daalin.
but this widow keeps bothering me! So I will make sure that she is treated justly. [If I do not do that], she will exhaust me by continually coming to me!’”
6 Markaasaa Rabbigu yidhi, Maqla wixii xaakinkii xaqa darnaa yidhi.
Then the Lord [Jesus] said, “[Even though] the judge was not a righteous man, think carefully about what he said!
7 Ilaahna miyaanu xaq siin doonin kuwuu doortay oo habeen iyo maalinba u qayliya; oo miyaanu u dulqaadan doonin?
[Similarly], (God will certainly show that [what you] have done has been right!/will God not show that [what you] have done has been right?) [RHQ] He will do this for you whom he has chosen. [He will do this for you] who pray earnestly to him night and day, asking him to [help you]. He may delay [helping you].
8 Waxaan idinku leeyahay, Dhaqsoba wuu u xaq siin doonaa; hase ahaatee goortuu Wiilka Aadanahu yimaado, markaas rumaysad ma ka heli doonaa dhulka?
But I tell you, [some day] he will show that what you did was right, and he will do it quickly. But when [I], the one who came from heaven, return to earth, (there may not be [many people who will still] be trusting [that I will vindicate them] (OR, who will still be trusting in me)./will there be [many people who will still] be trusting [that I will vindicate them] (OR, who will still be trusting in me)?) [RHQ]”
9 Masaalkan ayuu kula hadlay qaar ismoodayay inay xaq yihiin oo kuwa kale quudhsaday.
[Jesus] also told a parable [to warn] people who mistakenly thought that they were doing things that made them acceptable to God. Besides, they also despised other people.
10 Laba nin ayaa tegey inay macbudka ku tukadaan; mid Farrisi buu ahaa, kan kalena cashuurqaade.
[He said this]: “Two men went up to the Temple [in Jerusalem] to pray. One was a Pharisee. The other was a tax collector.
11 Farrisigii intuu istaagay ayuu waxyaalahan isugu tukaday, Ilaahow, waxaan kuugu mahadnaqayaa inaanan ahayn sida nimanka kale oo wax dulma, iyo kuwa xaqa daran, iyo dhillayaasha, ama xataa sida cashuurqaadahan.
The Pharisee stood and prayed silently, ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men. [Some] extort money [from others]; some treat others unjustly; some commit adultery. [I do not do such things. And I am certainly not] like this tax collector [who cheats people]!
12 Toddobaadkiiba laba kol ayaan soomaa, waxaan haysta oo dhanna toban meelood ayaan meel ka bixiyaa.
[Our law says that we(exc) should] (fast/abstain from food) [once a week], [but I do more than that. I] fast twice a week! I give [you] ten percent of all that I earn!’
13 Laakiin 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.
But the tax collector stood far [from the other people in the Temple courtyard because he felt very unworthy]. He would not even look up toward heaven. Instead, he beat on his chest [to show that he was sorry for his sin]. He said, ‘God, I am a sinner; be merciful to me [and forgive me]!’”
14 Waxaan 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.
[Then Jesus said], “I tell you [(pl)] that as the tax collector went home, the record of his sins was erased {[God] erased the record of his sins}, not that of the Pharisee. [Remember this]: Those who exalt themselves will be humbled {[God] will humble all those who exalt themselves}, but those who humble themselves will be exalted {[he] will exalt those who humble themselves}.”
15 Ilmo yaryar ayay u keeneen inuu taabto, laakiin goortii xertii aragtay, ayay canaanteen.
[One day when many people were coming to Jesus], they were also bringing small children. They wanted him to put his hands on [the children and bless them]. When the disciples saw that, they rebuked [those who were bringing those children].
16 Laakiin 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.
But Jesus called the children [to come to him]. He said to his disciples, “Let the children come to me! Do not stop them! It is people who are [humble and trusting] like they are who can experience God ruling [their lives].
17 Runtii waxaan idinku leeyahay, Ku alla kii aan boqortooyada Ilaah u aqbalin sida ilmo yar oo kale, meeshaas ma uu geli doono.
Note this: Those who do not [trust God and] allow him to direct [their lives], as children [do], will not enter the [MET] place where God rules.”
18 Taliye ayaa weyddiiyey isagoo leh, Macallin wanaagsanow, maxaan sameeyaa inaan nolosha weligeed ah dhaxlo? (aiōnios g166)
A [Jewish] leader asked [Jesus], “Good teacher, what shall I do in order to have eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
19 Markaasaa Ciise ku yidhi, Maxaad iigu yeedhaysaa wanaagsanow? Mid wanaagsan ma jiro mid maahee, kaasuna waa Ilaah.
Jesus said to him, “Only God is good! No one [else] is good! (So you(sg) should consider carefully what [you are implying by] calling me good!/[Do you realize that you are implying that I am God by] calling me good?) [RHQ]
20 Qaynuunnada waad taqaan, Waa inaanad sinaysan, Waa inaanad qudh gooyn, Waa inaanad wax xadin, Waa inaanad marag been ah furin, Aabbahaa iyo hooyadaana maamuus.
[But to answer your question], you [(sg)] know the commandments that [God gave Moses. He commanded such things as] ‘do not commit adultery, do not commit murder, do not steal, do not testify falsely [about what you have seen or heard], honor your father and mother.’”
21 Markaasuu yidhi, Kuwaas oo dhan tan iyo yaraantaydii waan dhawray.
The man said, “I have obeyed all those [commandments] ever since I was young. [So] ([there must be something else I have not done./is that enough]?)”
22 Ciise 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.
When Jesus heard [him say] that, he replied to him, “There is one thing that you [(sg)] have not [done] yet. Sell all that you own. Then give [the money] to poor people. [The result will be that] you will have [spiritual] riches in heaven. Then come and be my disciple!”
23 Laakiin goortuu waxaas maqlay ayuu aad uga caloolxumaaday, waayo, aad buu hodan u ahaa.
The man became sad when he heard that, because he was very rich [and he did not want to give everything away].
24 Ciise goortuu arkay, wuxuu yidhi, Kuwa hodanka ah waa ku adag tahay inay boqortooyada Ilaah galaan,
Jesus looked at the man [as he left], and said, “It is very difficult for those who are wealthy [to decide] to let God rule [MET] their [lives].
25 waayo, nin hodan ah inuu boqortooyada Ilaah galo waxaa ka hawl yar in awr irbad daloolkeeda ka duso.
[You would say] that it is impossible for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. It is [almost] as difficult [HYP] for rich people [to decide] to let God rule their [lives].”
26 Markaasaa kuwa maqlay waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Haddaba yaa badbaadi kara?
[The Jews thought that God favored rich people, so they thought that if God did not save rich people, he would not save others, either]. So [one of the disciples] who heard him say that replied, “If that is so, it seems that no one will be saved {[that God] will not save anyone} [RHQ]!”
27 Wuxuuse ku yidhi, Waxa aan dadka u suurtoobin, Ilaah waa u suurtoobaan.
But Jesus said, “It is impossible for people [to save themselves]. But [God can save them, because] God can do anything!”
28 Butros ayaa ku yidhi, Bal eeg, waxayagii ayaannu ka tagnay, waana ku raacnay.
Then Peter said, “[You know that we(exc) have left] everything we had and have become your disciples [RHQ]. [So what about us?] (OR, [So will God accept/save us?]”)
29 Wuxuuna ku yidhi, Runtii waxaan idinku leeyahay. Ma jiro nin boqortooyada Ilaah aawadeed uga tegey guri, ama afo, ama walaalo, ama waalid, ama carruur,
He said to them, “Keep this in mind: Those who have left [their] homes, [their] wives, [their] brothers, [their] parents, [their] children, [or any other family members], [to tell others] about how God wants to rule [MET] [people’s lives],
31 Laba-iyo-tobankii ayuu watay oo ku yidhi, Waxaynu ku soconnaa Yeruusaalem, oo wax walba oo nebiyadu qoreen ayaa Wiilka Aadanaha u noqon doona.
[Jesus] took the twelve [disciples] to a place by themselves and said to them, “Listen carefully! We [(inc)] are [now] going up to Jerusalem. [While we are there], everything that has been written by the prophets {that the prophets have written} about [me], the one who came from heaven, will be fulfilled {will occur}.
32 Waayo, isaga waxaa loo dhiibi doonaa dadka aan Yuhuudda ahayn, waana lagu kajami doonaa, oo la caayi doonaa, oo lagu tufi doonaa,
I will be put into the hands of {[My enemies] will hand me over to} non-Jews. [The non-Jews] will make fun of me and mistreat me and spit on me.
33 wayna karbaashi doonaan oo dili doonaan, maalinta saddexaadna wuu soo sara kici doonaa.
They will whip me, and [then] they will kill me. But on the third day [after that] I will become alive again.”
34 Laakiin waxyaalahaas waxba kama ay garan, hadalkaasna waa ka qarsoonaa, mana ay garan wixii la yidhi.
But [the disciples] did not understand any of those things that [he said]. They were prevented {[Something] prevented them} from understanding the meaning of what [he] was telling [them].
35 Waxaa noqotay markuu Yerixoo ku soo dhowaaday, in nin indha la' jidka ag fadhiyey oo dawarsanayay,
As [Jesus and his disciples] came near to Jericho [city], a blind man was sitting beside the road. [He was] begging [for money].
36 oo goortuu maqlay dadka badan oo ag maraya ayuu weyddiiyey waxaas waxay ahaayeen.
When he heard the crowd [of people] passing by, he asked someone, “What is happening?”
37 Waxay u sheegeen in Ciisihii Reer Naasared ag marayo.
They told him, “Jesus, [the man] from Nazareth [town], is passing by.”
38 Markaasuu qayliyey isagoo leh, Ciise, ina Daa'uudow, ii naxariiso.
He shouted, “Jesus, [you who are] descended from [King] David, [the Messiah], pity me!”
39 Kuwa hor marayay ayaa canaantay si uu u aamuso, laakiin si ka badan ayuu ugu qayliyey, Ina Daa'uudow, ii naxariiso.
Those who were [walking] at the front [of the crowd] scolded the man [and] told him to be quiet. But he shouted more loudly, “You who are descended from [King] David, [the Messiah], pity me!”
40 Markaasaa Ciise joogsaday oo wuxuu ku amray in loo keeno, oo goortuu u soo dhowaaday ayuu weyddiiyey, oo ku yidhi,
Jesus stopped and told [people] to bring the man to him. When [the blind man] came near, Jesus asked him,
41 Maxaad doonaysaa inaan kuu sameeyo? Wuxuu ku yidhi, Sayidow, inaan wax arko.
“What do you [(sg)] want me to do for you?” He replied, “Lord, enable me to see [again]!”
42 Markaasaa Ciise ku yidhi, Wax arag; rumaysadkaaga ayaa ku bogsiiyey.
Jesus said to him, “[Then] see! Because you have trusted [PRS] [in me], [I] have healed you!”
43 Kolkiiba ayuu wax arkay, wuuna raacay oo Ilaah ammaanay. Dadkii oo dhanna goortay arkeen, ayay Ilaah ammaaneen.
Immediately he was able to see! And he went with [Jesus], praising God. And when all the people who were [going with Jesus] saw it, they also praised God.
