Yohana 10
1 Njanji, njanji, mi hla yiwu, indji wa ana ri zu ni gontra hi ni gran tan ba ba na, na hon hu igon ri, indji mba a ndji u yibi na ni kri ni kon.
Verily, verily I say to you, he that goes not through the door into the sheepfold, but climbs up some other way, he is a thief, and a robber.
2 Indji wa ari zu ko gon tra ahi indji u krju tanba.
But he that enters through the door, is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 Indji u gben a bu'u gon tra niwu. Itanba ba ba wo tre ma, ani yo tanba ba ni nde mba, na nji ba hi kora.
To him the door-keeper opens; and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out.
4 Ani ta nji ba hi kora, ani guci u tanba ba ba hu nitu wa ba to tre ma.
And when he puts his own sheep out, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him; for they know his voice.
5 Bana hu indji u tsri na, se ba kulu ni wa bana to itre ma na.”
And a stranger they will not follow, but will flee from him; for they know not the voice of strangers.
6 Yesu tre bawu ni misali yi, u ba na to tu tre wa asi hla ni bawu na.
This parable spoke Jesus to them; but they knew not the meaning of the things which he spoke to them.
7 Yesu hla bawu ngari ndi, njanji, njanji, mi hla yiwu, ahi meyi mi inkon tra tanba ba.
Therefore Jesus spoke again to them: Verily, verily I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 Biwa ba ye guci ni mu'a wawu mba wu ba bi yibi ni bi kri ni nokn, u itanba ba bana wo bana.
All that came before me were thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not hear them.
9 Ime yi mi gon tra, indji wa ari zu niki ni nkon mu, ani nawo, ani hi na rju na fe bubu u ri.
I am the door: if any one enters through me, he shall be saved; and he shall go in and out, and find pasture.
10 Indji u yibi na ya yena nitu wa a yibi, a wu na su indji tu. Mi ye ni ndu ba fe re (iviri) na fe re (iviri) u babran.
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come that they may have life, and have it in abundance.
11 Ime yi mi indji u krju ndindima. Indji u krju ndindi ma ani ka re (iviri) ma no nitu tanba ma.
I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
12 Indji wa ahi vren u ton ndu'a, ana indji u krju na, wa na indji u tanba ba na, ani ta to ya niye, ani kaba chuwo na tsutsu, u iya ka vu ba na vraba ti nkankan.
But he that is a hireling, and not the shepherd, to whom the sheep do not belong, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep, and scatters them.
13 A tsutsu nitu wa ahi indji u tie ndu u kenle mba wana ri niwu ni sonron na.
The hireling flees because he is a hireling, and cares not for the sheep.
14 A me hi me yi mi indji u krju ndindi ma, mi toh bimu, bimu ba toh me.
I am the good shepherd, and I know my sheep, and am known by mine.
15 Iti'a ato Me, Ime mi toh Iti'a, mi ka re (iviri) mu no nitu tanba ba.
As the Father knows me, I also know the Father, and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 Me he ni tanba bari wa bana u gran yi na. Dole dun mi nji ba ye ngame, u ba wo lan mu u ntma ba ba he ni bubu rhirhi nda he ni ndji u krju ba rhirhi.
And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold; those, also, must I bring, and they will hear my voice: and there shall be one flock, one shepherd.
17 Ni tu kima, Iti'a ni son me, mi no re mu (iviri) ni ndu mi la ffe ngari.
For this reason, my Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it again.
18 Idiori na ya ban ni me na, ime mi no ni tumu, mi he ni gbengbenle u no, ni he ni gbengbenle u bawu ngari. Mi kpa umurni rji ni Timu.”
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 again. This commandment I have received from my Father.
19 Ga kpa la lunde ni mi tsutsu Yahudawa nitu lan biyi.
Again, therefore, there was a division among the Jews, on account of these words.
20 Gbugbu'u ni mi mba ba tre, aheni brji, ahi indji u siran ngari ani tunge bisi wowu?”
And many of them said: He has a demon, and is mad; why do you hear him?
21 Bari ba tre, biyi bana lan tre biwa ba he ni brji na. Ka indji u brji ni ya bu'u shishi indji u fyen?
Others said: These are not the words of one that has a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?
22 U ton igan Tsakakewa (Tsiratsira) ni Urushelima a ye tsira'a.
And the feast of the dedication was celebrated in Jerusalem, and it was winter:
23 Ana iton u ma lu, u Yesu zren si hi ni mi hekeli Suleimanu, wa ba me mu me ziye'a.
and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon’s porch.
24 U yahudawa ba lu hrawu kagon na miyen, “Ani tan mba u chuta chuwo ni mi mire.
Then the Jews came round him, and said to him: How long do you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.
25 Yesu hla bawu, “Mi hla ni yiwu, u bina kpa yenmen na, indu wa mi si tie ni mi nde Bachi, ba tsoro igban mu.
Jesus answered them: I have told you, and you do not believe. The works which I do in my Father’s name, these testify of me.
26 Naki bina kpayenme na nitu wa bina tamba mu na.
But you believe not, because you are not of my sheep. As I said to you,
27 Itanba mu ba wo me, mi to ba, ba hu me.
my sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
29 Iti mu, iwa Ane ba, a zan ndji nikon wawu, idiori na ya u kpa ni wo Ti'a na.
My Father, who gave them to me, is greater than all; and no one is able to take them out of my Father’s hand.
30 Ime ni Iti'a ki riri me.”
I and my Father are one.
31 U Yahudawa ba la vu tita ndi ba ta.
Then the Jews took up stones again, to stone him.
32 Yesu sa bawu, “Mi tsoro yi indu bi babran ma rji ni Ti'a. Nitu iri ni mi indu'a bi ki tame?”
Jesus answered them: Many good works have I showed you from my Father: for which of these works do you stone me?
33 U Yahudawa ba sa niwu, “Ana nitu indu iri u ndindi ma mba ki si ta na. Ani tu kpande ti meme nitu. u indji ni kaban ni ban tume na Rji.
The Jews answered and said to him: We do not stone you for a good work, but for your impious words; and because you, being man, make yourself God.
34 Yesu sa ni bawu, bana nha nha zi ni du itron bina, mitre, “Bi rji bi ka viri?”
Jesus answered them: Is it not written in your law, I said, you are gods?
35 Ani ta yo ba Irji biwa itre Rji ye ni ba (bana ya karya na si na, )
If he called them gods, to whom the word of God was committed, (and the scripture can not be made void, )
36 Bi si hla ni indji wa Iti a zi na ton ndu ni gbungbulu'a, u se latre, (kpa nde tie meme) nitu wa mi tre, Ime mi Vren Rji'a?
do you say of him, whom the Father has sanctified, and sent into the world, You speak impiously, because I said, I am the Son of God?
37 Mi ta na si tie indu u Timu na, bi ka na kpayenme ni me na.
If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not;
38 Ide mi siti bika, u bi na kpa yenme me na, kpa yenme ni ndu ni to ni ndi Iti he ni me i mi he ni Ti.
but if I do, though you believe not me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in him.
39 U ba tsi kpukpa ndi ba la vu ngari, iwa na bawo rju kado ni wo mba.
Then they sought again to take him, but he escaped from their hands.
40 Wa hi kpama ni koshishi ni inne Urdun hi ni bubu wa Yahaya ta ti batisma ni sen'a. na ka son ni ki.
And he went away again beyond the Jordan, to the place where John first immersed, and there he abode.
41 Indji gbugbuwu ba ye niwu, “Njanji Yahaya na ti ba gban kperina (alamu) wawu ikpe wa Yahaya ta tre nitu gu yi'a ba njanji.
And many came to him, and said: John did no sign; but all things that John said of this man were true.
42 Indji gbugbuwu ba kpanynme niwu ni ki.
And many who were there believed on him.
