Yəhya 10
1 Doğrusunu, doğrusunu sizə deyirəm: qoyun ağılına qapıdan girməyib başqa yerdən aşan oğru və quldurdur.
[Jesus continued by saying to us], “Listen carefully to what I say. Anyone who does not enter [the sheep pen] through the gate, if he climbs in some other way, he is a thief or a bandit.
2 Amma qapıdan girən qoyunların çobanıdır.
The man who enters [the pen] through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 Keşikçi qapını onun üzünə açar və qoyunlar onun səsinə qulaq asar. O da öz qoyunlarını adları ilə çağırar və onları çölə çıxarar.
The man who watches the gate at [night] opens the gate for him. The sheep recognize the shepherd’s voice. He summons his own sheep by [calling out] the names [he has given] them. Then he leads them outside [the pen].
4 Öz qoyunlarının hamısını çölə çıxarandan sonra onların önündə gedər və qoyunlar da ardınca gedər, çünki onun səsini tanıyırlar.
After he has brought out all his own [sheep], he goes in front of them. His sheep follow him because they recognize [and pay attention to] his voice.
5 Amma yad adamın ardınca getməzlər, ondan qaçarlar, çünki yad adamların səsini tanımazlar».
But they will never follow a stranger. Instead, they will run away from him, because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.”
6 İsa bu məsəli onlara söylədi, amma onlar İsanın sözlərinin mənasını anlamadılar.
Jesus said that [MET] [to illustrate the difference between himself and the Pharisees, who were deceiving the people]. But they did not understand what he was telling them.
7 İsa yenə onlara dedi: «Doğrusunu, doğrusunu sizə deyirəm: qoyunların qapısı Mənəm.
So Jesus spoke to them again. He said, “Listen carefully to what I am saying. I am [like] [MET] a gate for the sheep [to enter the sheepfold, because I am the one who allows people to enter God’s presence].
8 Məndən əvvəl gələnlərin hamısı oğru və quldur idi, amma qoyunlar onlara qulaq asmadı.
All of [your religious leaders] who have come previously [without my authority] are [like] [MET] thieves and bandits [because they act violently and dishonestly for their own benefit]. But [just like] sheep do not [obey strangers, God’s people do not] pay attention to them.
9 Qapı Mənəm, kim Məndən girərsə, xilas olar, girib-çıxar və özünə otlaq tapar.
I am [like] a gate. Those will be saved {[God] will save all those} who come [to God] by [trusting in] me. [Just like sheep] go in and out [through the gate safely] to find pasture [MET], [I will provide for them and protect them].
10 Oğru yalnız qarət etmək, öldürmək və tələf etmək üçün gəlir. Mənsə gəldim ki, onlar həyata, bol həyata malik olsun.
Thieves come [to a sheep pen] only to steal or kill or destroy [sheep] [MET]. [Similarly, your religious leaders injure God’s people spiritually]. But I have come in order that people may have [eternal/spiritual] life, and that they may have abundantly [all they need to sustain them spiritually].
11 Yaxşı çoban Mənəm, yaxşı çoban qoyunlar uğrunda canını qurban verər.
I am [like] a good shepherd. A good shepherd [is willing to] die to save the sheep [MET]. [Similarly, I am ready to sacrifice myself to save those who belong to me].
12 Qoyunların çobanı olmayan muzdur isə canavarın gəldiyini görəndə onları atıb qaçar, çünki qoyunların sahibi deyil. Canavar da onları qapıb pərən-pərən salar.
A worker whom someone has hired [to look after the sheep] is not [like] the shepherd or the one who owns the sheep. So when he sees a wolf coming, he leaves the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock of sheep and [seizes one sheep and] causes [the others] to scatter.
13 Muzdur qaçar, çünki muzdurdur, qoyunlar üçün qayğı çəkməz.
The worker runs away because he is [only] a man whom someone has hired. He is not [really] concerned about [what happens to] the sheep [MET]. [Similarly, your religious teachers do not really care what happens to you].
14 Yaxşı çoban Mənəm. Necə ki Ata Məni tanıyır və Mən Atanı tanıyıram, eləcə də özümünküləri tanıyıram, özümünkülər də Məni tanıyır. Mən quzular uğrunda canımı qurban verirəm.
I am [like] a good shepherd. [Just like a good shepherd knows his] sheep [MET], I know those who belong to me, and they know me
in the same way as [my] Father knows me and I know [my] Father. Furthermore, I am [ready to] sacrifice myself for [those who belong to me].
16 Bu ağıldan olmayan başqa quzularım var ki, onları da gətirməliyəm. Onlar da səsimi eşidəcək, beləcə tək sürü, tək Çoban olacaq.
And I have other people [who are not Jews] who [will some day] belong to me. They will be [like] [MET] sheep from another sheep pen. I must bring them [to God/myself] also. They will pay attention to what I say, and eventually [all those who belong to me] will be [like] one flock, and [I] will be [like] [MET] their one shepherd.
17 Buna görə də Ata Məni sevir, çünki Mən canımı qurban verirəm ki, sonra onu geri alım.
The reason [my] Father loves me is that I will sacrifice my life. But [after I do that], I will become alive again.
18 Canımı Məndən heç kəs ala bilməz, amma onu Özüm verirəm. Onu verməyə də, sonra geri almağa da ixtiyarım var. Bu əmri Atamdan almışam».
No one is causing me to die. Instead, I [have chosen to] sacrifice myself. I have authority to sacrifice myself and I have authority to become alive again. That is what my Father has commanded me to do.”
19 Bu sözlər üstündə Yəhudilər arasında yenə fikir ayrılığı düşdü.
After hearing these words [that Jesus said], the Jews were divided again.
20 Onların çoxu dedi: «Onda cin var, dəlidir. Niyə Ona qulaq asırsınız?»
Many of them said, “A demon is [controlling] him and has caused him to become crazy. (It is useless to listen to him!/Why should we listen to him?) [RHQ]”
21 Başqaları isə dedilər: «Bunlar cinə tutulmuş adamın sözləri deyil. Cin heç kor adamın gözlərini aça bilərmi?»
But others said, “What he is saying is not something a man whom a demon is controlling would say. (No demon could enable a blind man to see [like he did!/] How could a demon enable a blind man to see [like he did]?) [RHQ]”
22 O vaxt Yerusəlimdə Təqdis bayramı keçirilirdi. Qış idi.
Then it was time for the celebration [to remember when our ancestors] rededicated [the Temple in Jerusalem]. It was in winter.
23 İsa məbədin həyətində olan Süleymanın eyvanında gəzirdi.
Jesus was in the Temple [courtyard], walking in [the place that people called King] Solomon’s porch.
24 Yəhudilər İsanın ətrafına yığılıb Ona dedilər: «Nə vaxta qədər ürəyimizi intizarda saxlayacaqsan? Əgər Sən Məsihsənsə, bizə açıq söylə».
The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] gathered around him and said, “How long will you keep us from knowing for sure [if you are the Messiah]? If you are the Messiah, tell us clearly!”
25 İsa onlara cavab verdi: «Sizə söylədim, ancaq buna inanmırsınız. Atamın adı ilə gördüyüm işlər Mənim barəmdə şəhadət edir.
Jesus answered them, “I have told you [that I am the Messiah], but you do not believe me! You should know who I am because of the miracles I do with my Father’s authority [MTY].
26 Amma siz inanmırsınız, çünki Mənim quzularımdan deyilsiniz.
But instead, you do not believe in me because you do not belong to [me. You are like] [MET] sheep [who belong to a different shepherd].
27 Quzularım səsimi eşidir, Mən də onları tanıyıram və Mənim ardımca gəlirlər.
[Just like sheep] heed the voice [of their true shepherd] [MET], my [people pay attention to what I say]. I know them, and they have become my disciples.
29 Onları Mənə verən Atam hamıdan böyükdür. Onları heç kim Atanın əlindən qapa bilməz.
[Those] that my Father has given to me are more precious than anything else (OR, My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than anything that opposes them). So no one can pull them away from belonging to him [MTY].
30 Mən və Ata birik».
[My] father and I are equal.”
31 Yəhudilər yenə yerdən daş götürdülər ki, Onu daşqalaq etsinlər.
The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] again picked up stones to throw at Jesus [and kill him because they were angry at his saying that he was equal with God].
32 İsa onlara dedi: «Sizə Atadan gələn çoxlu yaxşı iş göstərdim. Siz bunların hansına görə Məni daşqalaq etmək istəyirsiniz?»
But Jesus said to them, “You have seen me perform many miracles that my Father [told me to do. You should realize from seeing them that I am equal with God]. So, because of which of these miracles [IRO] are you wanting to [kill me by] throwing stones at me?”
33 Yəhudilər Ona cavab verdilər: «Səni yaxşı işinə görə deyil, insan olduğun halda Özünü Allah sayaraq küfr etdiyinə görə daşqalaq edirik».
The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] replied, “We are [wanting to] throw stones at you not because you performed a great miracle. Instead, [we are wanting to do it] because you are dishonoring God. You are just a man, but you are saying that you are God!”
34 İsa onlara dedi: «Məgər sizin öz Qanununuzda yazılmayıb ki, “demişəm: ‹Siz allahlarsınız›”?
Jesus replied to them, “In the Scriptures it is written {([someone/the Psalmist]) has written} [RHQ] [what God said to the rulers whom he had appointed], ‘I have said that you are [like] gods.’
35 Allah Öz kəlamını göndərdiyi adamlara “allahlarsınız” deyir. Müqəddəs Yazı ki pozula bilməz.
God said that [to those leaders when he appointed them. No one objected to that]. And nothing that is in Scripture can be set aside {no one can set aside anything that is in Scripture}.
36 Bəs siz niyə “Allahın Oğluyam” dediyim üçün Mənə – Atanın təqdis edib dünyaya göndərdiyi Şəxsə “küfr edirsən” deyirsiniz?
But I am the one [my] Father set apart to completely belong to him. He sent me here into this world. So (why are you angry with me for saying that [I am equal with God when I say] that I am the man who is also God?/you should not be angry with me for saying that [I am equal with God when I say] that I am the person who is both God and man!) [RHQ]
37 Əgər Atamın işlərini görmürəmsə, Mənə inanmayın.
If I were not doing the miracles that my Father [told me to do, I would not expect] you to believe in me.
38 Amma bu işləri görürəmsə, Mənə inanmasanız da, bunlara inanın. Onda Atanın Məndə, Mənim də Atada olduğumu anlayıb bilərsiniz».
But because I perform these miracles, believe [what] these miracles [show about me], even though you do not believe what I [say]. If you do that, then you will know and understand that [my] Father has a close relationship with me, and I have a close relationship with [my] Father.”
39 Onlar yenə İsanı tutmağa çalışdı, amma O, əllərindən sıyrılıb çıxdı.
After they heard that, they tried to seize him again, but he got away from them.
40 İsa yenə İordanın o biri sahilinə, Yəhyanın əvvəllər vəftiz etdiyi yerə getdi və orada qaldı.
Then Jesus went, along [with us], back across [to the east side of] the Jordan [River]. We went to the place where John was previously baptizing [people]. He/We stayed there [for a few weeks].
41 Çoxlu adam Onun yanına gəlib dedi: «Yəhya heç bir əlamət göstərməsə də, onun bu Adam barədə dediyi bütün sözlər doğru çıxdı».
Many people came to Jesus. They were saying, “John never performed a miracle, [but this man has performed many miracles]! Everything that John said about this man is true!”
42 Bir çox adam da orada İsaya iman etdi.
Many people [who came] there believed ([that Jesus was the Messiah/that Jesus truly had come from God]).
