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.
"In solemn truth I tell you that whoever does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, that man is a thief and a robber;
2 Indji wa ari zu ko gon tra ahi indji u krju tanba.
"but he who comes in by 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.
"The porter opens the door for him; the sheep listen to 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 has brought all his own sheep, he walks 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 a stranger they will not follow, but flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers."
6 Yesu tre bawu ni misali yi, u ba na to tu tre wa asi hla ni bawu na.
Jesus told them this parable, but they did not understand what he was talking about; so he said to them again.
7 Yesu hla bawu ngari ndi, njanji, njanji, mi hla yiwu, ahi meyi mi inkon tra tanba ba.
"In solemn truth I tell 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 that came before me are 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 Door. Whoever enters by me shall be saved, and 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 never comes except to steal and kill and destroy. I am come that they may have life, and may 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 very 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 servant, since he is not a shepherd and does not own his sheep, leaves the sheep and flees when he sees a wolf coming - and the wolf worries them and scatters them.
13 A tsutsu nitu wa ahi indji u tie ndu u kenle mba wana ri niwu ni sonron na.
"He is only a hired servant, and the sheep are no care to him.
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, 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 also, which do not belong to this fold. I must bring them too, and they will listen to my voice, and they will become one flock, one shepherd.
17 Ni tu kima, Iti'a ni son me, mi no re mu (iviri) ni ndu mi la ffe ngari.
"The Father loves me for this, because I am laying 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 man is taking it away from me. I am laying it down on my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it again. I received this commandment from my Father."
19 Ga kpa la lunde ni mi tsutsu Yahudawa nitu lan biyi.
The Jews were again divided over these words.
20 Gbugbu'u ni mi mba ba tre, aheni brji, ahi indji u siran ngari ani tunge bisi wowu?”
Many of them kept saying. "He has a demon and is mad! Why do 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?
Others were saying. "These are not the words of one demon-possessed. Can a demoniac open the eyes of the blind?"
22 U ton igan Tsakakewa (Tsiratsira) ni Urushelima a ye tsira'a.
Then came the feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem.
23 Ana iton u ma lu, u Yesu zren si hi ni mi hekeli Suleimanu, wa ba me mu me ziye'a.
It was winter, and Jesus used to walk in the Temple, in Solomon’s Portico.
24 U yahudawa ba lu hrawu kagon na miyen, “Ani tan mba u chuta chuwo ni mi mire.
Then all the Jews encircled him and kept asking him. "How long are you going to 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 am doing in my Father’s name, these bear witness 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 listen to 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 has given them to me is stronger than all, and no one can snatch 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.
The Jews again took stones with which to stone him. Jesus said to them.
32 Yesu sa bawu, “Mi tsoro yi indu bi babran ma rji ni Ti'a. Nitu iri ni mi indu'a bi ki tame?”
"I have shown you many good deeds from my Father. For which of these are you going to 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 going to stone you for a good deed," answered the Jews, "but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, are making yourself God."
34 Yesu sa ni bawu, bana nha nha zi ni du itron bina, mitre, “Bi rji bi ka viri?”
"Is it written in your law," replied Jesus, "I said, You are gods?
35 Ani ta yo ba Irji biwa itre Rji ye ni ba (bana ya karya na si na, )
"If those to whom the word of God came are called gods (and the Scripture cannot be annulled),
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 mean to tell me, whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ 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 am not doing the deeds of my Father, 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, then though you believe not me, believe the deeds, in order that you may come to know and keep on clearly understanding 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.
Then again they attempted to seize him, but he escaped out of 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 went away again across the Jordan to the place where John had been baptizing at first, and there he remained.
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 who came to him said, "John did not perform any signs, but everything he said about this man was true."
42 Indji gbugbuwu ba kpanynme niwu ni ki.
And many believed on him there.
