Luukos 7
1 Goortuu hadalladiisa ku dhammeeyey dadka dhegaysadkooda ayuu Kafarna'um galay.
After Jesus finished saying this to the people, he went [with his disciples] to Capernaum [town].
2 Boqol-u-taliye addoonkiisii uu jeclaa ayaa bukay oo dhimashuu u dhowaa.
There was a Roman army officer there who had a slave whom he thought highly of. This slave was so sick that he was about to die.
3 Goortuu maqlay wax Ciise ku saabsan, ayuu waayeelladii Yuhuudda u diray isaga, oo ka baryay inuu yimaado oo addoonkiisa bogsiiyo.
When the officer heard about Jesus, he [summoned] some Jewish elders. He told them to go to Jesus and ask him to come and heal his slave.
4 Goortay Ciise u yimaadeen, aad bay u baryeen oo ku yidhaahdeen, Isagu waa istaahilaa inaad waxaas u yeeshid,
When they came to where Jesus was, they earnestly asked Jesus [to return with them]. They said, “This officer deserves that you [(sg)] do this [for him],
5 waayo, quruunteenna ayuu jecel yahay, oo sunagog ayuu noo dhisay.
because he loves us [Jewish] people, and he [paid the money to] build a synagogue for us.”
6 Markaasaa Ciise raacay, oo isagoo aan guriga ka fogayn, ayaa boqol-u-taliyihii saaxiibbo u soo diray oo ku yidhi, Sayidow, ha isdhibin, waayo, anigu ma istaahilo inaad saqafka gurigayga hoostiisa soo gashid.
So Jesus went with them. When he was near the [officer’s] house, the officer [decided that it was not necessary for Jesus to come to his house. So he] summoned some friends. He [told them to] go to Jesus and tell him this: “Lord/Sir, do not bother to come. [Because I am a non-Jew], I am not worthy for you [(sg)], [a Jew], to come into my house [MTY] [and associate with me].
7 Saas aawadeed uma aan malaynaynin inaan istaahilo inaan kuu imaado; laakiin hadal dheh, midiidinkayguna waa bogsan doonaa.
I did not feel worthy to come to you, [either]. But [please] command [that] my servant [be healed], and he will become well!
8 Waayo, anigu waxaan ahay nin laga sarreeyo, oo askar baa iga hoosaysa. Kan waxaan ku idhaahdaa, Tag, wuuna tagaa; mid kalena, Kaalay, wuuna yimaadaa; midiidinkaygana, Waxan samee, wuuna sameeyaa.
[I believe this] because, as for me, there are people who have authority over me [and I obey them]. I also have soldiers under my [authority]. When I say to one of them, ‘Go!’ he goes. When I say to another ‘Come!’ he comes. When I say to my slave, ‘Do this!’ he does it. [And I believe that you speak with a similar kind of authority].”
9 Goortuu Ciise taas maqlay, wuu ka yaabay, oo intuu dadkii la socday ku jeestay ayuu ku yidhi, Waxaan idinku leeyahay, Rumaysad sidaas u weyn oo kale reer binu Israa'iil kama dhex helin.
When [the officer’s friends arrived and] told that to Jesus, he marveled at what [the officer had said]. Then he turned and said to the crowd that was going with him, “I tell you, I have never before found anyone who trusted [in me like this non-Jewish man does]. No one from Israel, [where I would expect people to believe in me], has trusted in me like he has!”
10 Kuwii la soo dirayna kolkay gurigii ku noqdeen, waxay heleen addoonkii oo ladan.
When those men returned to the officer’s house, they found that the slave was well.
11 Markii dambe waxaa noqotay inuu galay magaalada Na'in la odhan jiray; waxaana raacay xertiisii, iyo dad badanba.
Soon after that, Jesus went to a town called Nain. His disciples and a large crowd [of other people] went with him.
12 Oo goortuu iriddii magaalada ku soo dhowaaday, waxaa dibadda loo waday nin meyd ah oo madi u ahaa hooyadiis; iyaduna waxay ahayd carmal. Oo waxaa iyada la jiray dad badan oo magaalada.
As they approached the town gate, the corpse of a young man who had just died was being carried out [on a stretcher] {[people] were carrying out [on a stretcher] the corpse of a young man who had just died}. His mother was a widow, and he was her only son. A large group of people from the town were accompanying them.
13 Rabbigu goortuu arkay iyada, ayuu u naxariistay oo ku yidhi, Ha ooyin.
When the Lord saw her, he pitied her. He said to her, “Do not cry!”
14 Oo intuu ku soo dhowaaday, ayuu taabtay rabrabtii. Kuwii sidayna way joogsadeen. Markaasuu yidhi, Dhallinyarow, waxaan kugu leeyahay, Kac.
Then, [ignoring the Jewish laws about not coming near a corpse], he came close and touched the stretcher [on which the body was lying]. So the men carrying it stood still. He said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!”
15 Kolkaasaa kii dhintay sara fadhiistay oo bilaabay inuu hadlo, oo markaasaa Ciise isagii u dhiibay hooyadiis.
The man sat up and began to talk! Jesus returned him to his mother [to care for her].
16 Kulligood baqdin baa ku wada dhacday, oo Ilaah bay ammaaneen iyagoo leh, Nebi weyn ayaa dhexdeenna ka kacay. Ilaahna waa soo booqday dadkiisa.
Then everyone [there] was amazed/awestruck. They praised God, saying, “A great prophet has come among us!” They also said, “God has come to help his people!”
17 Warkaas isaga ku saabsan ayaa gaadhay Yahuudiya oo dhan iyo dhulka ku wareegsan oo dhan.
[Then they] reported what Jesus [had done] throughout all of Judea [district] and other nearby areas.
18 Yooxanaa xertiisa ayaa waxaas oo dhan uga warrantay.
The disciples of John [the Baptizer went to the prison where John was and] told him about those things.
19 Markaasaa Yooxanaa wuxuu u yeedhay laba xertiisii ah oo Ciise u soo diray, oo ku yidhi, Miyaad tahay kan imanaya mise mid kalaannu dhawrnaa?
So [one day] John summoned two [of his disciples] and [told them] to go to the Lord and ask him: “Are you [the Messiah who the prophets prophesied would come], or is it someone else that we should expect [to come]?”
20 Nimankii goortay u yimaadeen, waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Yooxanaa Baabtiisaha ayaa noo soo kaa diray isagoo leh, Miyaad tahay kan imanaya mise mid kalaannu dhawrnaa?
When those two men came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptizer sent us to ask you [(sg)] this: Are you [the Messiah that] we are expecting [God] to send, or shall we [(exc)] expect someone else?”
21 Saacaddaas qudheeda ayuu dad badan ka bogsiiyey bukaankooda iyo cudurradooda iyo jinniyadooda sharka leh. Indhoolayaal badanna wuxuu ugu roonaaday inay wax arkaan.
At that very time Jesus was healing many people of their diseases and [other] sicknesses, he was [casting out] evil spirits, and he was causing many blind people to be able to see.
22 Markaasaa Ciise u jawaabay oo ku yidhi, Taga oo Yooxanaa uga warrama waxaad aragteen iyo waxaad maqasheen. Kuwii indhaha la'aa wax bay arkaan, kuwii lugahala'aana way socdaan, kuwii baraska qabayna waa la nadiifiyey, kuwii dhegahala'aana wax bay maqlaan, kuwii dhintayna waa la kiciyey, masaakiintana injiilka waa lagu wacdiyaa,
So he answered those two men, “Go back and report to John what you have seen [me doing] and what you have heard [me telling people. I am enabling] blind people to see. [I am enabling] lame people to walk. [I am] healing people who have leprosy. [I am enabling] deaf people to hear. [I am causing] dead people to become alive again, [and I am] telling [God’s] good message to poor people.
23 oo waxaana barakaysan kan aan iga xumaanin.
[Also tell John that God] is pleased with those who do not stop believing in me [because what I do is not what they expect the Messiah to do].”
24 Kuwii Yooxanaa diray goortay tageen, wuxuu bilaabay inuu dadkii badnaa wax uga sheego Yooxanaa. Maxaad cidlada ugu baxdeen? Ma waxay ahayd inaad soo aragtaan cawsduur dabaylu ruxayso?
When the men whom John had sent left, Jesus began to talk to the crowd of people about John. He said to them, “[Think about] what sort of person you went to see in the desolate area [when you went there to see John] [RHQ]. [You did not go there to listen to a man who constantly changed the nature of his message] [MET], [like] a reed that is blown back and forth by the wind [RHQ].
25 Laakiin maxaad u baxdeen? Ma waxay ahayd inaad soo aragtaan nin dhar jilicsan qaba? Kuwa dharka wanaagsan qaba oo hodan ku nool waxay joogaan guryaha boqorrada.
Then what kind of man did you go there to see [RHQ]? Was he [RHQ] a man who wore expensive clothes? No! [You know very well that] people who wear beautiful clothes and live in luxury are in kings’ palaces, [not in the desolate areas]!
26 Laakiin maxaad u baxdeen? Ma waxay ahayd inaad nebi soo aragtaan? Haah, waxaan idinku leeyahay, Mid nebi ka sarreeya.
Then what [kind of person] did you go to see? [Did you] [RHQ] [go there to see John because he was] a prophet? Yes! But I will tell you that [John is] more [important] than an [ordinary] prophet.
27 Kanu waa kii laga qoray, Eeg, waxaan hortaada soo dirayaa wargeeyahayga, Kan jidkaaga ku sii diyaargarayn doona hortaada.
He is the one about whom [these words] that God said to the Messiah have been written {[the prophet Malachi] wrote [these words]} [in the Scriptures]: ‘Listen! I am going to send my messenger ahead of you [(sg)] [SYN]. He will prepare [people] for your coming.’
28 Waxaan idinku leeyahay, Intii dumar ka dhalatay, mid Yooxanaa ka weyn ma jiro, laakiin kan boqortooyada Ilaah ugu yar ayaa ka weyn.
I tell you that from among all the people who have ever lived, [God considers that] no one is greater than John. However, [God considers] everyone who has let God rule their [lives] [MET] to be greater than [John], [even if they are] insignificant [people].”
29 Dadkii maqlay oo dhan iyo cashuurqaadayaashiiba waxay caddeeyeen inuu Ilaah yahay xaq, iyagoo ah kuwii lagu baabtiisay baabtiiskii Yooxanaa.
When they heard [what Jesus said] (OR, [what John preached]), all the people, including tax collectors, [whom many people despised], agreed that God’s way was right. By being baptized by John {By [letting] John baptize them}, [they had agreed that what God required people to do in order to be saved was right].
30 Laakiin Farrisiintii iyo kuwii sharciga yiqiin ayaa waanadii Ilaah naftooda darteed u diiday iyagoo aan Yooxanaa baabtiisin.
But the Pharisees and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws were not baptized by John {did not [let] John baptize them} because they rejected what God wanted them to do.
31 Haddaba maxaan nimanka qarnigan u ekaysiiyaa? Maxay u eg yihiin?
[Then Jesus also said], “[Many of] you people have heard what [John and I] have taught. (I will illustrate what you are like./Do you know what [many of] you people who have heard what [John and I] have taught are like?) [RHQ]
32 Waxay u eg yihiin carruur suuqa fadhida oo isu yeedhyeedhaysa iyagoo leh, Biibiile baannu idiin yeedhinnay, oo waad cayaari weydeen, waannu baroorannay oo waad ooyi weydeen.
You are like children who are [playing games] in an open area. [Some of them] are calling to [the others], saying, ‘We [(exc)] played happy music for you on the flute, but you did not dance! Then we sang sad funeral songs for you, but you did not cry!’
33 Waayo, Yooxanaa Baabtiisaha waa yimid isagoo aan kibis cunaynin oo aan khamri cabbaynin; waxaadna tidhaahdaan, Jinni buu qabaa.
[Similarly, you people are dissatisfied with both John the Baptizer and me]! When John came and [preached to you], he did not eat [ordinary] food [SYN] or drink wine, [like most people do]. But you [rejected him], saying, ‘A demon is controlling him!’
34 Wiilka Aadanahu waa yimid isagoo wax cunaya oo cabbaya, waxaadna tidhaahdaan, Eeg, waa nin cir weyn oo khamriyacab ah oo saaxiib la ah cashuurqaadayaal iyo dembilayaal.
In [contrast], [I], the one who came from heaven, eat [the same food] and drink [wine as others do]. But you [reject me], saying, ‘Look! [This man] eats too much food and drinks too much wine, and he associates with tax collectors and [other] sinners!’
35 Xigmaddu inay xaq tahay waa laga caddeeyey xaggii carruurteeda oo dhan.
But those who are [truly God’s] children [PRS] realize that [what John and I do is truly] wise.”
36 Farrisiinta midkood ayaa weyddiistay inuu wax la cuno, wuuna galay gurigii Farrisiga oo cunto u fadhiistay.
[One day] one of the Pharisees [named Simon] invited Jesus to eat a meal with him. So Jesus went to the man’s house and reclined [to eat].
37 Bal eeg, naag magaalada joogtay oo dembi lahayd goortay ogaatay inuu gurigii Farrisiga cunto u fadhiyo, waxay soo qaadatay weel alabastar ah oo cadar ku jiro.
There was a woman in that city [who many people knew had been] a prostitute [EUP]. She heard that Jesus was eating in the Pharisee’s house. So she went there, taking a stone jar that contained perfume.
38 Way isdaba taagtay cagihiisa agtooda iyadoo ooyaysa, waxayna bilaabtay inay ilmada cagihiisa ku qoyso, oo ay timaha madaxeeda ku tirtirto, oo cagihiisay dhunkatay, oo cadarkii marisay.
[As the people there were reclining to eat], the woman stood behind [Jesus, at his] feet. As she was crying [because she was sorry for her sins, her tears fell on Jesus’ feet]. Then she wiped his feet with her hair, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the perfume.
39 Farrisigii u yeedhay isaga, goortuu arkay, ayuu isla hadlay isagoo leh, Ninkan hadduu nebi yahay, wuu ogaan lahaa naagtan taataabatay cid ay tahay iyo waxay tahay inay tahay dembile.
When the Pharisee who had invited [Jesus] saw that, he thought, “[Prophets know about other people’s lives], [so] if Jesus were a prophet, he would have known who this woman is who is touching him, and what kind of a person she is. He would have known that she is a prostitute! [EUP]”
40 Ciise baa u jawaabay oo ku yidhi, Simoonow, hal baan ku leeyahay. Wuxuu yidhi, Dheh, Macallimow.
Jesus said to him, “Simon, there is something I want to tell you [(sg)].” He replied, “Teacher, what is it?”
41 Waxaa jiray amaahiye laba nin amaah ku lahaa, mid wuxuu ku lahaa shan boqol oo dinaar, midka kalena konton.
Jesus replied, “Two people owed some money to a man who [earned money by] lending [it to others]. One owed him 500 silver coins, and the other owed him 50 silver coins.
42 Goortii ay waayeen waxay bixiyaan, ayuu labadoodiiba u dhaafay. Haddaba iyamaa ahaan doona kan jacayl badan?
Neither of them was able to pay back [what he owed], so the man [very kindly] said that they did not have to pay back anything. So, which of those two men will love that man more?”
43 Simoon baa u jawaabay oo ku yidhi, Waxaan u malaynayaa, kan uu wax badan u dhaafay. Wuxuu ku yidhi, Si hagaagsan baad u qiyaastay.
Simon replied, “I think that the one who owed the most money and did not have to pay it back [will love him more].” Jesus said to him, “That is correct.”
44 Kolkaasuu naagtii u jeestay, oo wuxuu Simoon ku yidhi, Naagtan ma aragtaa? Anigu gurigaagaan galay; biyo cagahayga iima aad siin, laakiin iyadu cagahayga ayay ilmadeeda ku qoysay oo ay timaheeda ku tirtirtay.
Then he turned toward the woman, and said to Simon, “(Think about [what] this woman [has done]!/Do you [(sg)] see [what] this woman [has done]?) [RHQ] When I entered your house, you [did not follow our custom of welcoming guests by] giving me any water [to wash] my feet, but this woman has wet my feet with her tears and then wiped them with her hair!
45 Dhunkasho ima aad dhunkan, iyaduse tan iyo wakhtigaan soo galay kama dayn inay cagahayga dhunkato.
You did not [follow our custom of greeting by] kissing me, but since I came in, this woman has not stopped kissing my feet!
46 Madaxaygana saliid ma aad marin, iyaduse cagahayga ayay cadar marisay.
You did not [follow our custom of welcoming guests by] anointing my head with [olive] oil, but she has anointed my feet with fragrant perfume.
47 Sidaa darteed waxaan kugu leeyahay, Dembiyadeedii badnaa waa cafiyan yihiin, waayo, aad bay u jeclayd. Kii wax yar loo dhaafay, ayaa wax yar jecel.
So I will tell you that even though this woman has sinned very much, she has been forgiven {[I] have forgiven her}. [By what she has done she has shown that] she loves [me] very much. But a person who has [sinned] just a little bit, but whom [I] have forgiven, will love [me just a little bit].”
48 Wuxuu iyada ku yidhi, Dembiyadaadii waa cafiyan yihiin.
Then he said to the woman, “You have been forgiven {[I have] forgiven [you]} [for] your sins.”
49 Kuwii cunto ula fadhiyey waxay bilaabeen inay isku yidhaahdaan, Yuu yahay kan dembiyo cafiya haddana?
Then those who were eating with him said among themselves, “(This man must [think that he is God]!/Who does this man [think that he] is [RHQ]), saying that he can forgive [people for] their sins?”
50 Wuxuu naagtii ku yidhi, Rumaysadkaaga ayaa ku badbaadiyey ee nabad ku tag.
But Jesus said to the woman, “Because you have trusted [PRS] [in me, God] has saved you [from the guilt of your sins]. May [God] give you inner peace as you go!”
