يوحنَّا 10

١ 1 «اَلْحَقَّ ٱلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ ٱلَّذِي لَا يَدْخُلُ مِنَ ٱلْبَابِ إِلَى حَظِيرَةِ ٱلْخِرَافِ، بَلْ يَطْلَعُ مِنْ مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ، فَذَاكَ سَارِقٌ وَلِصٌّ.

"In solemn truth I tell you that whoever does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, that man is a thief and a robber;

٢ 2 وَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِي يَدْخُلُ مِنَ ٱلْبَابِ فَهُوَ رَاعِي ٱلْخِرَافِ.

"but he who comes in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

٣ 3 لِهَذَا يَفْتَحُ ٱلْبَوَّابُ، وَٱلْخِرَافُ تَسْمَعُ صَوْتَهُ، فَيَدْعُو خِرَافَهُ ٱلْخَاصَّةَ بِأَسْمَاءٍ وَيُخْرِجُهَا.

"The porter opens the door for him; the sheep listen to his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out.

٤ 4 وَمَتَى أَخْرَجَ خِرَافَهُ ٱلْخَاصَّةَ يَذْهَبُ أَمَامَهَا، وَٱلْخِرَافُ تَتْبَعُهُ، لِأَنَّهَا تَعْرِفُ صَوْتَهُ.

"When he has brought all his own sheep, he walks before them and the sheep follow him because they know his voice.

٥ 5 وَأَمَّا ٱلْغَرِيبُ فَلَا تَتْبَعُهُ بَلْ تَهْرُبُ مِنْهُ، لِأَنَّهَا لَا تَعْرِفُ صَوْتَ ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ».

"But a stranger they will not follow, but flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers."

٦ 6 هَذَا ٱلْمَثَلُ قَالَهُ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ، وَأَمَّا هُمْ فَلَمْ يَفْهَمُوا مَا هُوَ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ يُكَلِّمُهُمْ بِهِ.

Jesus told them this parable, but they did not understand what he was talking about; so he said to them again.

٧ 7 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ أَيْضًا: «ٱلْحَقَّ ٱلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنِّي أَنَا بَابُ ٱلْخِرَافِ.

"In solemn truth I tell you that I am the Door of the sheep.

٨ 8 جَمِيعُ ٱلَّذِينَ أَتَوْا قَبْلِي هُمْ سُرَّاقٌ وَلُصُوصٌ، وَلَكِنَّ ٱلْخِرَافَ لَمْ تَسْمَعْ لَهُمْ.

"All that came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.

٩ 9 أَنَا هُوَ ٱلْبَابُ. إِنْ دَخَلَ بِي أَحَدٌ فَيَخْلُصُ وَيَدْخُلُ وَيَخْرُجُ وَيَجِدُ مَرْعًى.

"I am the Door. Whoever enters by me shall be saved, and he shall go in and come out and find pasture.

١٠ 10 اَلسَّارِقُ لَا يَأْتِي إِلَّا لِيَسْرِقَ وَيَذْبَحَ وَيُهْلِكَ، وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَقَدْ أَتَيْتُ لِتَكُونَ لَهُمْ حَيَاةٌ وَلِيَكُونَ لَهُمْ أَفْضَلُ.

"The thief never comes except to steal and kill and destroy. I am come that they may have life, and may have it in abundance.

١١ 11 أَنَا هُوَ ٱلرَّاعِي ٱلصَّالِحُ، وَٱلرَّاعِي ٱلصَّالِحُ يَبْذِلُ نَفْسَهُ عَنِ ٱلْخِرَافِ.

"I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his very life for the sheep.

١٢ 12 وَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِي هُوَ أَجِيرٌ، وَلَيْسَ رَاعِيًا، ٱلَّذِي لَيْسَتِ ٱلْخِرَافُ لَهُ، فَيَرَى ٱلذِّئْبَ مُقْبِلًا وَيَتْرُكُ ٱلْخِرَافَ وَيَهْرُبُ، فَيَخْطَفُ ٱلذِّئْبُ ٱلْخِرَافَ وَيُبَدِّدُهَا.

"The hired servant, since he is not a shepherd and does not own his sheep, leaves the sheep and flees when he sees a wolf coming - and the wolf worries them and scatters them.

١٣ 13 وَٱلْأَجِيرُ يَهْرُبُ لِأَنَّهُ أَجِيرٌ، وَلَا يُبَالِي بِٱلْخِرَافِ.

"He is only a hired servant, and the sheep are no care to him.

١٤ 14 أَمَّا أَنَا فَإِنِّي ٱلرَّاعِي ٱلصَّالِحُ، وَأَعْرِفُ خَاصَّتِي وَخَاصَّتِي تَعْرِفُنِي،

"I am the good shepherd. I know my sheep, and my sheep know me;

١٥ 15 كَمَا أَنَّ ٱلْآبَ يَعْرِفُنِي وَأَنَا أَعْرِفُ ٱلْآبَ. وَأَنَا أَضَعُ نَفْسِي عَنِ ٱلْخِرَافِ.

just as the Father knows me, I know the Father, and I lay down my life for the sheep.

١٦ 16 وَلِي خِرَافٌ أُخَرُ لَيْسَتْ مِنْ هَذِهِ ٱلْحَظِيرَةِ، يَنْبَغِي أَنْ آتِيَ بِتِلْكَ أَيْضًا فَتَسْمَعُ صَوْتِي، وَتَكُونُ رَعِيَّةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ وَرَاعٍ وَاحِدٌ.

"I have other sheep also, which do not belong to this fold. I must bring them too, and they will listen to my voice, and they will become one flock, one shepherd.

١٧ 17 لِهَذَا يُحِبُّنِي ٱلْآبُ، لِأَنِّي أَضَعُ نَفْسِي لِآخُذَهَا أَيْضًا.

"The Father loves me for this, because I am laying down my life that I may take it again.

١٨ 18 لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يَأْخُذُهَا مِنِّي، بَلْ أَضَعُهَا أَنَا مِنْ ذَاتِي. لِي سُلْطَانٌ أَنْ أَضَعَهَا وَلِي سُلْطَانٌ أَنْ آخُذَهَا أَيْضًا. هَذِهِ ٱلْوَصِيَّةُ قَبِلْتُهَا مِنْ أَبِي».

"No man is taking it away from me. I am laying it down on my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it again. I received this commandment from my Father."

١٩ 19 فَحَدَثَ أَيْضًا ٱنْشِقَاقٌ بَيْنَ ٱلْيَهُودِ بِسَبَبِ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ.

The Jews were again divided over these words.

٢٠ 20 فَقَالَ كَثِيرُونَ مِنْهُمْ: «بِهِ شَيْطَانٌ وَهُوَ يَهْذِي. لِمَاذَا تَسْتَمِعُونَ لَهُ؟».

Many of them kept saying. "He has a demon and is mad! Why do you listen to him?"

٢١ 21 آخَرُونَ قَالُوا: «لَيْسَ هَذَا كَلَامَ مَنْ بِهِ شَيْطَانٌ. أَلَعَلَّ شَيْطَانًا يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَفْتَحَ أَعْيُنَ ٱلْعُمْيَانِ؟».

Others were saying. "These are not the words of one demon-possessed. Can a demoniac open the eyes of the blind?"

٢٢ 22 وَكَانَ عِيدُ ٱلتَّجْدِيدِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَكَانَ شِتَاءٌ.

Then came the feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem.

٢٣ 23 وَكَانَ يَسُوعُ يَتَمَشَّى فِي ٱلْهَيْكَلِ فِي رِوَاقِ سُلَيْمَانَ،

It was winter, and Jesus used to walk in the Temple, in Solomon’s Portico.

٢٤ 24 فَٱحْتَاطَ بِهِ ٱلْيَهُودُ وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «إِلَى مَتَى تُعَلِّقُ أَنْفُسَنَا؟ إِنْ كُنْتَ أَنْتَ ٱلْمَسِيحَ فَقُلْ لَنَا جَهْرًا».

Then all the Jews encircled him and kept asking him. "How long are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly."

٢٥ 25 أَجَابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «إِنِّي قُلْتُ لَكُمْ وَلَسْتُمْ تُؤْمِنُونَ. اَلْأَعْمَالُ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا أَعْمَلُهَا بِٱسْمِ أَبِي هِيَ تَشْهَدُ لِي.

Jesus answered them. "I have told you, and you do not believe. The works which I am doing in my Father’s name, these bear witness concerning me.

٢٦ 26 وَلَكِنَّكُمْ لَسْتُمْ تُؤْمِنُونَ لِأَنَّكُمْ لَسْتُمْ مِنْ خِرَافِي، كَمَا قُلْتُ لَكُمْ.

"But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep.

٢٧ 27 خِرَافِي تَسْمَعُ صَوْتِي، وَأَنَا أَعْرِفُهَا فَتَتْبَعُنِي.

"My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them and they follow me.

٢٨ 28 وَأَنَا أُعْطِيهَا حَيَاةً أَبَدِيَّةً، وَلَنْ تَهْلِكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، وَلَا يَخْطَفُهَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ يَدِي. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)

"I am giving them eternal life, and they shall never perish, nor shall any one snatch them out of my hand. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)

٢٩ 29 أَبِي ٱلَّذِي أَعْطَانِي إِيَّاهَا هُوَ أَعْظَمُ مِنَ ٱلْكُلِّ، وَلَا يَقْدِرُ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَخْطَفَ مِنْ يَدِ أَبِي.

"My Father who has given them to me is stronger than all, and no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand.

٣٠ 30 أَنَا وَٱلْآبُ وَاحِدٌ».

"I and my Father are one."

٣١ 31 فَتَنَاوَلَ ٱلْيَهُودُ أَيْضًا حِجَارَةً لِيَرْجُمُوهُ.

The Jews again took stones with which to stone him. Jesus said to them.

٣٢ 32 أَجَابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أَعْمَالًا كَثِيرَةً حَسَنَةً أَرَيْتُكُمْ مِنْ عِنْدِ أَبِي. بِسَبَبِ أَيِّ عَمَلٍ مِنْهَا تَرْجُمُونَنِي؟».

"I have shown you many good deeds from my Father. For which of these are you going to stone me?"

٣٣ 33 أَجَابَهُ ٱلْيَهُودُ قَائِلِينَ: «لَسْنَا نَرْجُمُكَ لِأَجْلِ عَمَلٍ حَسَنٍ، بَلْ لِأَجْلِ تَجْدِيفٍ، فَإِنَّكَ وَأَنْتَ إِنْسَانٌ تَجْعَلُ نَفْسَكَ إِلَهًا».

"We are not going to stone you for a good deed," answered the Jews, "but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, are making yourself God."

٣٤ 34 أَجَابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أَلَيْسَ مَكْتُوبًا فِي نَامُوسِكُمْ: أَنَا قُلْتُ إِنَّكُمْ آلِهَةٌ؟

"Is it written in your law," replied Jesus, "I said, You are gods?

٣٥ 35 إِنْ قَالَ آلِهَةٌ لِأُولَئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ صَارَتْ إِلَيْهِمْ كَلِمَةُ ٱللهِ، وَلَا يُمْكِنُ أَنْ يُنْقَضَ ٱلْمَكْتُوبُ،

"If those to whom the word of God came are called gods (and the Scripture cannot be annulled),

٣٦ 36 فَٱلَّذِي قَدَّسَهُ ٱلْآبُ وَأَرْسَلَهُ إِلَى ٱلْعَالَمِ، أَتَقُولُونَ لَهُ: إِنَّكَ تُجَدِّفُ، لِأَنِّي قُلْتُ: إِنِّي ٱبْنُ ٱللهِ؟

do you mean to tell me, whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?

٣٧ 37 إِنْ كُنْتُ لَسْتُ أَعْمَلُ أَعْمَالَ أَبِي فَلَا تُؤْمِنُوا بِي.

"If I am not doing the deeds of my Father, do not believe me.

٣٨ 38 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كُنْتُ أَعْمَلُ، فَإِنْ لَمْ تُؤْمِنُوا بِي فَآمِنُوا بِٱلْأَعْمَالِ، لِكَيْ تَعْرِفُوا وَتُؤْمِنُوا أَنَّ ٱلْآبَ فِيَّ وَأَنَا فِيهِ».

"But if I am doing them, then though you believe not me, believe the deeds, in order that you may come to know and keep on clearly understanding that the Father is in me and I am in the Father."

٣٩ 39 فَطَلَبُوا أَيْضًا أَنْ يُمْسِكُوهُ فَخَرَجَ مِنْ أَيْدِيهِمْ،

Then again they attempted to seize him, but he escaped out of their hands,

٤٠ 40 وَمَضَى أَيْضًا إِلَى عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ إِلَى ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ يُوحَنَّا يُعَمِّدُ فِيهِ أَوَّلًا وَمَكَثَ هُنَاكَ.

and went away again across the Jordan to the place where John had been baptizing at first, and there he remained.

٤١ 41 فَأَتَى إِلَيْهِ كَثِيرُونَ وَقَالُوا: «إِنَّ يُوحَنَّا لَمْ يَفْعَلْ آيَةً وَاحِدَةً، وَلَكِنْ كُلُّ مَا قَالَهُ يُوحَنَّا عَنْ هَذَا كَانَ حَقًّا».

Many who came to him said, "John did not perform any signs, but everything he said about this man was true."

٤٢ 42 فَآمَنَ كَثِيرُونَ بِهِ هُنَاكَ.

And many believed on him there.
