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 most solemn truth I tell you that the man who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs over some other way, is a thief and a robber.
2 Indji wa ari zu ko gon tra ahi indji u krju tanba.
But he who enters 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.
To him the porter opens the door, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by their names 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 his own sheep--all of them--he walks at the head of 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 by no means follow, but will run away 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 spoke to them in this figurative language, but they did not understand what He meant.
7 Yesu hla bawu ngari ndi, njanji, njanji, mi hla yiwu, ahi meyi mi inkon tra tanba ba.
Again therefore Jesus said to them, "In most 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 who have come before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep would 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. If any one enters by me, he will find safety, 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 comes only to steal and kill and destroy: I have 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. A 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--one who is not a shepherd and does not own the sheep--no sooner sees the wolf coming than he leaves the sheep and runs away; and the wolf worries and scatters them.
13 A tsutsu nitu wa ahi indji u tie ndu u kenle mba wana ri niwu ni sonron na.
For he is only a hired servant and cares nothing 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 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 am laying 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 also other sheep--which do not belong to this fold. Those also I must bring, and they will listen to my voice; and they shall become one flock under 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 am laying down my life in order to receive it back 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 is taking it away from me, but I myself am laying it down. I am authorized to lay it down, and I am authorized to receive it back again. This is the command 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 because 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 is possessed by 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 argued, "That is not the language of a demoniac: and can a demon open blind men's eyes?"
22 U ton igan Tsakakewa (Tsiratsira) ni Urushelima a ye tsira'a.
The Dedication Festival came on 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 in Solomon's Portico,
24 U yahudawa ba lu hrawu kagon na miyen, “Ani tan mba u chuta chuwo ni mi mire.
when the Jews gathered round Him and kept asking Him, "How long do you mean to keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us so 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 have told you," answered Jesus, "and you do not believe. The deeds that I do in my Father's name--they give testimony about me.
26 Naki bina kpayenme na nitu wa bina tamba mu na.
But you do not believe, because you are not 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.
What my Father has given me is more precious than all besides; and no one is able to wrest anything from 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.
Again the Jews brought stones with which 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 remonstrated with them. "Many good deeds," He said, "have I shown you as coming from the Father; for which of them 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.
"For no good deed," the Jews replied, "are we going to stone you, but for blasphemy, and because you, who are only a man, are making yourself out to be God."
34 Yesu sa ni bawu, bana nha nha zi ni du itron bina, mitre, “Bi rji bi ka viri?”
"Does it not stand 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 God's word was addressed 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?
how is it that you say to one whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am God's Son'?
37 Mi ta na si tie indu u Timu na, bi ka na kpayenme ni me na.
If the deeds I do are not my Father's deeds, 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 they are, then even if you do not believe me, at least believe the deeds, that you may know and see clearly that the Father is in me, and that I am in the Father."
39 U ba tsi kpukpa ndi ba la vu ngari, iwa na bawo rju kado ni wo mba.
This made them once more try to arrest Him, but He withdrew out of their power.
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 He went away again to the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John had been baptizing at first; and there He stayed.
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.
Large numbers of people also came to Him. Their report was, "John did not work any miracle, but all that John said about this Teacher was true."
42 Indji gbugbuwu ba kpanynme niwu ni ki.
And many became believers in Him there.
