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.
Verily, verily I say unto you, He that entreth not into the sheep-fold by the door, but climbeth up some other way, is a thief and a robber.
2 Indji wa ari zu ko gon tra ahi indji u krju tanba.
But he that cometh 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.
To him the porter openeth, and the sheep hear his voice; and He calleth his own sheep 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.
And when he bringeth forth his sheep, 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 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.
This parable Jesus spake unto them; but they did not understand what He said to them.
7 Yesu hla bawu ngari ndi, njanji, njanji, mi hla yiwu, ahi meyi mi inkon tra tanba ba.
Jesus therefore said unto them again, Verily, verily 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 regard 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: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved; and shall 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 only to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they may have life, and may have it in perfection.
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 layeth 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.
But the hireling, that is not the true shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf seizeth them, and disperseth the sheep.
13 A tsutsu nitu wa ahi indji u tie ndu u kenle mba wana ri niwu ni sonron na.
Now the hireling fleeth, because he is an 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 own sheep, and am known by them.
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 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.
And I have other sheep, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they will hear my voice; so 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.
For this doth the Father love 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.”
None taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself: I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment I have received from my Father.
19 Ga kpa la lunde ni mi tsutsu Yahudawa nitu lan biyi.
There was a division therefore again 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?”
And many of them said, He is a demoniac, 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 a demoniac; can a demon open the eyes of the blind?
22 U ton igan Tsakakewa (Tsiratsira) ni Urushelima a ye tsira'a.
Now it was the feast of dedication at 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 about 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 the Jews came round Him, and said unto Him, How long dost thou hold us in suspense? If thou be the Messiah, 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 me: though the works that I do in the name of my Father, testify of me.
26 Naki bina kpayenme na nitu wa bina tamba mu na.
But ye believe not; because ye are not of my sheep: for as I said unto you, my sheep hear my voice,
27 Itanba mu ba wo me, mi to ba, ba hu me.
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 gave them to me, is greater than all: and therefore none is able to force them out of my Father's hand.
30 Ime ni Iti'a ki riri me.”
I and the Father are one. Then the Jews again took up stones to stone Him.
31 U Yahudawa ba la vu tita ndi ba ta.
But Jesus said unto 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?”
Many good works have I shewn you from my 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, saying, We do not go about to stone thee for a good work, but for blasphemy; and because thou being 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 replied, Is it not written in your law, "I have said, ye are gods?"
35 Ani ta yo ba Irji biwa itre Rji ye ni ba (bana ya karya na si na, )
And if it stiled 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?
do ye say of Him, whom the Father hath 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, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in Him.
39 U ba tsi kpukpa ndi ba la vu ngari, iwa na bawo rju kado ni wo mba.
Therefore they sought again to seize Him; but He escaped out of their hand, and went away again beyond Jordan,
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.
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 resorted to Him, and said, John wrought no miracle, but all that he said concerning this man, was true.
42 Indji gbugbuwu ba kpanynme niwu ni ki.
And many there believed on Him.
