يوحنَّا 10

١ 1 «الْحَقَّ الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ مَنْ يَدْخُلُ إِلَى حَظِيرَةِ الْخِرَافِ مِنْ غَيْرِ بَابِهَا فَيَتَسَلَّقُ إِلَيْهَا مِنْ طَرِيقٍ آخَرَ، هُوَ سَارِقٌ وَلِصٌّ.

“Most assuredly I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

٢ 2 أَمَّا الَّذِي يَدْخُلُ مِنَ الْبَابِ فَهُوَ رَاعِي الْخِرَافِ،

But he who enters by the door is a shepherd of the sheep.

٣ 3 وَالْبَوَّابُ يَفْتَحُ لَهُ، وَالْخِرَافُ تُصْغِي إِلَى صَوْتِهِ، فَيُنَادِي خِرَافَهُ الْخَاصَّةَ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ بِاسْمِهِ، وَيَقُودُهَا إِلَى خَارِجِ الْحَظِيرَةِ.

To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

٤ 4 وَمَتَى أَخْرَجَهَا كُلَّهَا، يَسِيرُ أَمَامَهَا وَهِيَ تَتْبَعُهُ، لأَنَّهَا تَعْرِفُ صَوْتَهُ.

And whenever he takes out his own sheep he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice.

٥ 5 وَهِيَ لَا تَتْبَعُ مَنْ كَانَ غَرِيباً، بَلْ تَهْرُبُ مِنْهُ، لأَنَّهَا لَا تَعْرِفُ صَوْتَ الْغُرَبَاءِ».

But they will not follow a stranger; rather they will run away from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.”

٦ 6 ضَرَبَ يَسُوعُ لَهُمْ هَذَا الْمَثَلَ، وَلكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَفْهَمُوا مَغْزَى كَلامِهِ.

Jesus gave them this illustration, but they did not understand what He was telling them.

٧ 7 لِذلِكَ عَادَ فَقَالَ: «الْحَقَّ الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: أَنَا بَابُ الْخِرَافِ.

Then Jesus addressed them again: “Most assuredly I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.

٨ 8 جَمِيعُ الَّذِينَ جَاءُوا قَبْلِي كَانُوا لُصُوصاً وَسُرَّاقاً، وَلكِنَّ الْخِرَافَ لَمْ تُصْغِ إِلَيْهِمْ.

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

٩ 9 أَنَا الْبَابُ. مَنْ دَخَلَ بِي يَخْلُصْ، فَيَدْخُلُ وَيَخْرُجُ وَيَجِدُ الْمَرْعَى.

I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.

١٠ 10 السَّارِقُ لَا يَأْتِي إِلّا لِيَسْرِقَ وَيَذْبَحَ وَيُهْلِكَ. أَمَّا أَنَا فَقَدْ أَتَيْتُ لِتَكُونَ لَهُمْ حَيَاةٌ، بَلْ مِلْءُ الْحَيَاةِ!

The thief comes only in order to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come so that they may have life, and have it abundantly.

١١ 11 أَنَا الرَّاعِي الصَّالِحُ، وَالرَّاعِي الصَّالِحُ يَبْذِلُ حَيَاتَهُ فِدَى خِرَافِهِ.

“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life on behalf of the sheep.

١٢ 12 وَلَيْسَ الأَجِيرُ كَالرَّاعِي، لأَنَّ الْخِرَافَ لَيْسَتْ مِلْكَهُ. فَعِنْدَمَا يَرَى الذِّئْبَ قَادِماً، يَتْرُكُ الْخِرَافَ لِيَنْجُوَ بِنَفْسِهِ، فَيَخْطَفُ الذِّئْبُ الْخِرَافَ وَيُبَدِّدُهَا.

But the hired man, not being the shepherd and not owning the sheep, sees the wolf coming and abandons the sheep, and runs away; and the wolf snatches the sheep and scatters them.

١٣ 13 إِنَّهُ يَهْرُبُ لأَنَّهُ أَجِيرٌ وَلا يُبَالِي بِالْخِرَافِ!

Now the hired man runs away because he is a hired man and it does not matter to him about the sheep.

١٤ 14 أَمَّا أَنَا فَإِنِّي الرَّاعِي الصَّالِحُ، وَأَعْرِفُ خِرَافِي، وَخِرَافِي تَعْرِفُنِي،

“I am the good shepherd, and I know my own sheep, and I am known by them.

١٥ 15 مِثْلَمَا يَعْرِفُنِي الآبُ وَأَنَا أَعْرِفُهُ. وَأَنَا أَبْذِلُ حَيَاتِي فِدَى خِرَافِي.

Just as the Father knows me, I also know the Father, and I lay down my life on behalf of the sheep.

١٦ 16 وَلِي خِرَافٌ أُخْرَى لَا تَنْتَمِي إِلَى هذِهِ الْحَظِيرَةِ، لابُدَّ أَنْ أَجْمَعَهَا إِلَيَّ أَيْضاً، وَتُصْغِيَ لِصَوْتِي؛ فَيَكُونَ هُنَاكَ قَطِيعٌ وَاحِدٌ وَرَاعٍ وَاحِدٌ.

I also have other sheep, that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice; and there will be one flock, one shepherd.

١٧ 17 إِنَّ الآبَ يُحِبُّنِي لأَنِّي أَبْذِلُ حَيَاتِي لِكَيْ أَسْتَرِدَّهَا.

“Because of this the Father loves me, in that I lay down my life so that I may take it up again.

١٨ 18 لَا أَحَدَ يَنْتَزِعُ حَيَاتِي مِنِّي، بَلْ أَنَا أَبْذِلُهَا بِاخْتِيَارِي. فَلِي السُّلْطَةُ أَنْ أَبْذِلَهَا وَلِيَ السُّلْطَةُ أَنْ أَسْتَرِدَّهَا. هذِهِ الْوَصِيَّةُ تَلَقَّيْتُهَا مِنْ أَبِي».

No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This command I have received from my Father.”

١٩ 19 فَانْقَسَمَ الْيَهُودُ فِي الرَّأْيِ حَوْلَ هَذَا الْكَلامِ.

Therefore there was another division among the Jews because of these words.

٢٠ 20 فَقَالَ كَثِيرُونَ مِنْهُمْ: «إِنَّ شَيْطَاناً يَسْكُنُهُ، وَهُوَ يَهْذِي. فَلِمَاذَا تَسْتَمِعُونَ إِلَيْهِ؟»

Many of them were saying: “He has a demon and is raving mad. Why do you listen to him?”

٢١ 21 وَقَالَ آخَرُونَ: «لَيْسَ هَذَا كَلامَ مَنْ يَسْكُنُهُ شَيْطَانٌ. أَيَسْتَطِيعُ الشَّيْطَانُ أَنْ يَفْتَحَ عُيُونَ الْعُمْيَانِ؟»

Others were saying: “These are not the sayings of someone who is demonized. A demon cannot open blind people's eyes, can it?”

٢٢ 22 وَفِي أَثْنَاءِ الاِحْتِفَالِ بِعِيدِ تَجْدِيدِ الْهَيْكَلِ، فِي الشِّتَاءِ،

Now it was the Feast of Dedication in Jerusalem; and it was winter.

٢٣ 23 كَانَ يَسُوعُ يَتَمَشَّى فِي الْهَيْكَلِ فِي قَاعَةِ سُلَيْمَانَ.

And Jesus was walking about in the temple, in Solomon's porch.

٢٤ 24 فَتَجَمَّعَ حَوْلَهُ الْيَهُودُ وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «حَتَّى مَتَى تُبْقِينَا حَائِرِينَ بِشَأْنِكَ؟ إِنْ كُنْتَ أَنْتَ الْمَسِيحَ حَقّاً، فَقُلْ لَنَا صَرَاحَةً».

Then the Jews surrounded Him and said to Him: “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.”

٢٥ 25 فَأَجَابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «قُلْتُ لَكُمْ، وَلكِنَّكُمْ لَا تُصَدِّقُونَ. وَالأَعْمَالُ الَّتِي أَعْمَلُهَا بِاسْمِ أَبِي، هِيَ تَشْهَدُ لِي.

Jesus answered them: “I did tell you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name—these testify concerning me.

٢٦ 26 وَلكِنَّكُمْ لَا تُصَدِّقُونَ لأَنَّكُمْ لَسْتُمْ خِرَافِي.

But you do not believe because you are not among my sheep, just like I told you.

٢٧ 27 فَخِرَافِي تُصْغِي لِصَوْتِي، وَأَنَا أَعْرِفُهَا وَهِيَ تَتْبَعُنِي،

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.

٢٨ 28 وَأُعْطِيهَا حَيَاةً أَبَدِيَّةً، فَلا تَهْلِكُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَلا يَنْتَزِعُهَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ يَدِي. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)

And I give them eternal life, and they will never ever be wasted; and no one will snatch them out of my hand. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)

٢٩ 29 إِنَّ الآبَ الَّذِي أَعْطَانِي إِيَّاهَا هُوَ أَعْظَمُ مِنَ الْجَمِيعِ، وَلا يَقْدِرُ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَنْتَزِعَ مِنْ يَدِ الآبِ شَيْئاً.

My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch out of my Father's hand.

٣٠ 30 أَنَا وَالآبُ وَاحِدٌ!»

I and the Father are one.”

٣١ 31 فَرَفَعَ الْيَهُودُ، مَرَّةً ثَانِيَةً، حِجَارَةً لِيَرْجُمُوهُ.

Therefore the Jews picked up stones again to stone Him.

٣٢ 32 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أَرَيْتُكُمْ أَعْمَالاً صَالِحَةً كَثِيرَةً مِنْ عِنْدِ أَبِي، فَبِسَبَبِ أَيِّ عَمَلٍ مِنْهَا تَرْجُمُونَنِي؟»

Jesus answered them: “Many good works I have shown you from my Father. For which one of them are you stoning me?”

٣٣ 33 أَجَابُوهُ: «لا نَرْجُمُكَ بِسَبَبِ أَيِّ عَمَلٍ صَالِحٍ، بَلْ بِسَبَبِ تَجْدِيفِكَ: لأَنَّكَ تَجْعَلُ نَفْسَكَ اللهَ، وَأَنْتَ إِنْسَانٌ!»

The Jews answered Him saying, “It is not for a good work that we are stoning you, but for blasphemy; precisely because you, being a man, make yourself God!”

٣٤ 34 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أَلَيْسَ مَكْتُوباً فِي شَرِيعَتِكُمْ: أَنَا قُلْتُ إِنَّكُمْ آلِهَةٌ؟

Jesus answered them: “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, you are gods’?

٣٥ 35 فَإِذَا كَانَتِ الشَّرِيعَةُ تَدْعُو أُولئِكَ الَّذِينَ نَزَلَتْ إِلَيْهِمْ كَلِمَةُ اللهِ آلِهَةً وَالْكِتَابُ لَا يُمْكِنُ أَنْ يُنْقَضَ

If He called them ‘gods’ to whom the Word of God came—and the Scripture cannot be broken—

٣٦ 36 فَهَلْ تَقُولُونَ لِمَنْ قَدَّسَهُ الآبُ وَبَعَثَهُ إِلَى الْعَالَمِ: أَنْتَ تُجَدِّفُ، لأَنِّي قُلْتُ: أَنَا ابْنُ اللهِ؟

do you say ‘You are blaspheming’ to the One the Father sanctified and sent into the world because I said, ‘I am God's Son’?

٣٧ 37 إِنْ كُنْتُ لَا أَعْمَلُ أَعْمَالَ أَبِي، فَلا تُصَدِّقُونِي.

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

٣٨ 38 أَمَّا إِنْ كُنْتُ أَفْعَلُ ذلِكَ، فَصَدِّقُوا تِلْكَ الأَعْمَالَ، إِنْ كُنْتُمْ لَا تُصَدِّقُونَنِي أَنَا. عِنْدَئِذٍ تَعْرِفُونَ وَيَتَأَكَّدُ لَكُمْ أَنَّ الآبَ فِيَّ وَأَنَا فِيهِ».

But if I am doing them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, so that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in Him.”

٣٩ 39 فَأَرَادُوا ثَانِيَةً أَنْ يُلْقُوا الْقَبْضَ عَلَيْهِ، وَلَكِنَّهُ أَفْلَتَ مِنْ أَيْدِيهِمْ،

So they tried again to seize Him, but He escaped from their hand.

٤٠ 40 وَرَجَعَ إِلَى الضَّفَّةِ الْمُقَابِلَةِ مِنْ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ، حَيْثُ كَانَ يُوحَنَّا يُعَمِّدُ مِنْ قَبْلُ، وَأَقَامَ هُنَاكَ.

He went away again across the Jordan, to the place where John was baptizing at first; and He remained there.

٤١ 41 فَجَاءَ إِلَيْهِ كَثِيرُونَ وَهُمْ يَقُولُونَ: «مَا عَمِلَ يُوحَنَّا آيَةً وَاحِدَةً، وَلكِنَّ كُلَّ مَا قَالَهُ عَنْ هَذَا الرَّجُلِ كَانَ حَقّاً!»

And many came to Him and said, “Though John did not perform any sign, everything John said about this man was true.”

٤٢ 42 وَآمَنَ بِهِ كَثِيرُونَ هُنَاكَ.

And many of the people there believed into Him.
