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 say unto you, the one coming not in through the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbing up some other way, he is a thief and a robber.
2 Indji wa ari zu ko gon tra ahi indji u krju tanba.
And the one coming in 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 porter 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.
When He may put out all his own, he goes before them, and the 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 not follow a stranger, but will flee from him: because 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.
He spoke this parable to them: but they did not know what things He was speaking to them.
7 Yesu hla bawu ngari ndi, njanji, njanji, mi hla yiwu, ahi meyi mi inkon tra tanba ba.
Then Jesus said, Truly, truly, I say unto you, that 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 so many as came 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 may enter in through me, he shall be saved; he shall go in and come 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 does not come, but that he may steal, and slay, and destroy: I came that they may have life, and have it more abundantly.
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 hireling, and the one not being the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and flees away, and the wolf seizes and scatters them:
13 A tsutsu nitu wa ahi indji u tie ndu u kenle mba wana ri niwu ni sonron na.
because he is a hireling and there is not a care to him 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 mine, and mine know me,
15 Iti'a ato Me, Ime mi toh Iti'a, mi ka re (iviri) mu no nitu tanba ba.
as the Father knows Me, and I know the Father; and I lay down My soul 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 I have other sheep which are not of this fold: and it behooves me to bring them and they shall hear my voice, and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
17 Ni tu kima, Iti'a ni son me, mi no re mu (iviri) ni ndu mi la ffe ngari.
Therefore my Father loves Me, because I lay down my soul, 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 power to lay it down, and power to receive it again. I received this commandment from my Father.
19 Ga kpa la lunde ni mi tsutsu Yahudawa nitu lan biyi.
Again there was a schism 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?”
Then many of them were saying, He has a demon, and is gone mad; why do you hear Him? Others were saying,
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?
These are not the words of a demonized man. Whether is a demon able to open the eyes of the blind?
22 U ton igan Tsakakewa (Tsiratsira) ni Urushelima a ye tsira'a.
And it was the feast of dedication 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 surrounded Him, and said to Him, How long do you take away our soul?
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.
If thou art the Christ, tell us openly. Jesus responded, I told you, and you do not believe: the works which I do in the name of my Father, these testify concerning me.
26 Naki bina kpayenme na nitu wa bina tamba mu na.
But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep.
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.
The Father, who has given them unto me, is greater than all; and no one is able to pluck them out of the hand of the Father.
30 Ime ni Iti'a ki riri me.”
I and the Father are one.
31 U Yahudawa ba la vu tita ndi ba ta.
Again the Jews took up stones, that they might 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 responded to them, I have shown unto you many beautiful works from the Father; on account of 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.
The Jews responded to Him, We do not stone Thee for good work, but for blasphemy; because Thou, being a man, art making Thyself God.
34 Yesu sa ni bawu, bana nha nha zi ni du itron bina, mitre, “Bi rji bi ka viri?”
And Jesus responded to them, Is it not written in your law, that I said, Ye 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 is not able to 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?
whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, do you say; Thou blasphemest; 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.
If I do, believe not me, believe the works: that you may know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father.
39 U ba tsi kpukpa ndi ba la vu ngari, iwa na bawo rju kado ni wo mba.
They sought again to take Him: and He passed out of their hand.
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 again He departed beyond the Jordan into the place where John was first baptizing; and remained 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.
and many came to Hint, and said, that John indeed did no miracle; but all things so many as John spoke concerning this One are true.
42 Indji gbugbuwu ba kpanynme niwu ni ki.
And many believed on Him there.
