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.
“Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever does not enter the sheepfold by the gate, but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber.
2 Indji wa ari zu ko gon tra ahi indji u krju tanba.
But the one who enters by the gate 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.
The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen for his voice. 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.
When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.
5 Bana hu indji u tsri na, se ba kulu ni wa bana to itre ma na.”
But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will flee from him because they do not recognize his voice.”
6 Yesu tre bawu ni misali yi, u ba na to tu tre wa asi hla ni bawu na.
Jesus spoke to them using this illustration, but they did not understand what He was telling them.
7 Yesu hla bawu ngari ndi, njanji, njanji, mi hla yiwu, ahi meyi mi inkon tra tanba ba.
So He said to them again, “Truly, truly, I tell you, I am the gate for 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 who came before Me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to 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 gate. If anyone enters through Me, he will be saved. He will come in and go 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 all its fullness.
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.
The hired hand is not the shepherd, and the sheep are not his own. When he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf pounces on them and scatters the flock.
13 A tsutsu nitu wa ahi indji u tie ndu u kenle mba wana ri niwu ni sonron na.
The man runs away because he is a hired servant and is unconcerned 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. I know My sheep and My sheep know Me,
15 Iti'a ato Me, Ime mi toh Iti'a, mi ka re (iviri) mu no nitu tanba ba.
just as the Father knows Me and I 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.
I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them in as well, and they will listen to My voice. Then there will be one flock and one shepherd.
17 Ni tu kima, Iti'a ni son me, mi no re mu (iviri) ni ndu mi la ffe ngari.
The reason the Father loves Me is that I lay down My life in order to take it up 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 My own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from My Father.”
19 Ga kpa la lunde ni mi tsutsu Yahudawa nitu lan biyi.
Again there was division among the Jews because of Jesus’ message.
20 Gbugbu'u ni mi mba ba tre, aheni brji, ahi indji u siran ngari ani tunge bisi wowu?”
Many of them said, “He is demon-possessed and insane. Why would you listen to 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?
But others replied, “These are not the words of a man possessed by a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”
22 U ton igan Tsakakewa (Tsiratsira) ni Urushelima a ye tsira'a.
At that time the Feast of Dedication took place in Jerusalem. 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 courts in Solomon’s Colonnade.
24 U yahudawa ba lu hrawu kagon na miyen, “Ani tan mba u chuta chuwo ni mi mire.
So the Jews gathered around Him and demanded, “How long will 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.
“I already told you,” Jesus replied, “but you did not believe. The works I do in My Father’s name testify on My behalf.
26 Naki bina kpayenme na nitu wa bina tamba mu na.
But because you are not My sheep, you refuse to believe.
27 Itanba mu ba wo me, mi to ba, ba hu me.
My sheep listen to My voice; 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 has given them to Me is greater than all. No one can snatch them out of My Father’s hand.
30 Ime ni Iti'a ki riri me.”
I and the Father are one.”
31 U Yahudawa ba la vu tita ndi ba ta.
At this, the Jews again picked up stones 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?”
But Jesus responded, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these 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.
“We are not stoning You for any good work,” said the Jews, “but for blasphemy, because You, who are a man, declare Yourself to be God.”
34 Yesu sa ni bawu, bana nha nha zi ni du itron bina, mitre, “Bi rji bi ka viri?”
Jesus replied, “Is it not written in your Law: ‘I have 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 came—and the Scripture cannot be broken—
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?
then what about the One whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world? How then can you accuse Me of blasphemy for stating that 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 am not doing the works of My Father, then do not believe Me.
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 am doing them, even though you do not believe Me, believe the works themselves, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I am in the Father.”
39 U ba tsi kpukpa ndi ba la vu ngari, iwa na bawo rju kado ni wo mba.
At this, they tried again to seize Him, but He escaped their grasp.
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.
Then Jesus went back across the Jordan to the place where John had first been baptizing, and He stayed there.
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.
Many came to Him and said, “Although John never performed a sign, everything he said about this man was true.”
42 Indji gbugbuwu ba kpanynme niwu ni ki.
And many in that place believed in Jesus.
