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 do I say to you, He that entereth not through the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber;
2 Indji wa ari zu ko gon tra ahi indji u krju tanba.
but he that entereth 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 openeth; and the sheep hear his voice; and his own sheep he calleth by name, and leadeth them out.
4 Ani ta nji ba hi kora, ani guci u tanba ba ba hu nitu wa ba to tre ma.
When he hath put forth all his own, he goeth 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 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.
This parable Jesus spoke to them; but they did not understand what the things were which he spoke to them.
7 Yesu hla bawu ngari ndi, njanji, njanji, mi hla yiwu, ahi meyi mi inkon tra tanba ba.
Jesus therefore said, Truly, truly do 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 those who came are 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 enter through me, he will be saved, and will 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 cometh not but to steal, and to kill, and to destroy; I came that they might have life, and have 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 giveth 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.
He that is a hireling and not a shepherd, nor the owner of the sheep, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth; and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep;
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 careth 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 they know me,
15 Iti'a ato Me, Ime mi toh Iti'a, mi ka re (iviri) mu no nitu tanba ba.
even as the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father; and I give 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; them also I must bring; and they will hear my voice, and there will 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.
On this account the Father loveth 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 taketh 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 charge I received from my Father.
19 Ga kpa la lunde ni mi tsutsu Yahudawa nitu lan biyi.
Again there arose 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?”
Many of them said, He hath a demon, and is mad; why do ye 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 hath 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 came at 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, in Solomon's porch.
24 U yahudawa ba lu hrawu kagon na miyen, “Ani tan mba u chuta chuwo ni mi mire.
Then came the Jews around him, and said to him, How long dost thou hold our minds in suspense? If thou art 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 ye do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name, these bear witness of me.
26 Naki bina kpayenme na nitu wa bina tamba mu na.
But ye do not believe, because ye 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.
That which my Father hath given me is greater than all; and no one is able to tear [[them]] out of the 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.
The Jews again took 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?”
Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shown you from the Father; for which of those works do ye 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 him, Not for a good work do we stone thee, but for blasphemy, and because thou, who art a man, makest thyself 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, 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 cannot 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?
say ye of him whom the Father sanctified, and sent into the world, 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.
But if I do them, though ye believe not me, believe the works; that ye may learn and know 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 therefore to seize him; and he went forth 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 he went away again beyond the Jordan, to the place where John was at first baptizing; 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 indeed wrought no sign; but everything that John said of this man was true.
42 Indji gbugbuwu ba kpanynme niwu ni ki.
And many believed in him there.
