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 to you, He who is not entering through the door to the fold of the sheep, but is going up from another side, that one is a thief and a robber;
2 Indji wa ari zu ko gon tra ahi indji u krju tanba.
and he who is entering through the door is 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 this one the doorkeeper doth open, and the sheep hear his voice, and his own sheep he doth call by name, and doth lead them forth;
4 Ani ta nji ba hi kora, ani guci u tanba ba ba hu nitu wa ba to tre ma.
and when his own sheep he may put forth, before them he goeth on, and the sheep follow him, because they have known his voice;
5 Bana hu indji u tsri na, se ba kulu ni wa bana to itre ma na.”
and a stranger they will not follow, but will flee from him, because they have not known the voice of strangers.'
6 Yesu tre bawu ni misali yi, u ba na to tu tre wa asi hla ni bawu na.
This similitude spake Jesus to them, and they knew not what the things were that he was speaking to them;
7 Yesu hla bawu ngari ndi, njanji, njanji, mi hla yiwu, ahi meyi mi inkon tra tanba ba.
Jesus said therefore again to them, 'Verily, verily, 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, as many as came before me, 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, through me if any one may come in, he shall be saved, and he shall come in, and go 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 doth not come, except that he may steal, and kill, and destroy; I came that they may have life, and may have [it] 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 his life layeth down 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.
and the hireling, and not being a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, doth behold the wolf coming, and doth leave the sheep, and doth flee; 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.
and the hireling doth flee because he is an hireling, and is not caring 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 am known by mine,
15 Iti'a ato Me, Ime mi toh Iti'a, mi ka re (iviri) mu no nitu tanba ba.
according as the Father doth know me, and I know the Father, and my life I lay down 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 that are not of this fold, these also it behoveth me to bring, and my voice they will hear, and there shall 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.
'Because of this doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that again I may take it;
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 doth take it from me, but I lay it down of myself; authority I have to lay it down, and authority I have again to take it; this command I received from my Father.'
19 Ga kpa la lunde ni mi tsutsu Yahudawa nitu lan biyi.
Therefore, again, there came 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?”
and 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 sayings are not those of a demoniac; is a demon able blind men's eyes to open?'
22 U ton igan Tsakakewa (Tsiratsira) ni Urushelima a ye tsira'a.
And the dedication in Jerusalem came, 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 the porch of Solomon,
24 U yahudawa ba lu hrawu kagon na miyen, “Ani tan mba u chuta chuwo ni mi mire.
the Jews, therefore, came round about him, and said to him, 'Till when our soul dost thou hold in suspense? if thou art the Christ, tell us freely.'
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 told you, and ye do not believe; the works that I do in the name of my Father, these testify concerning me;
26 Naki bina kpayenme na nitu wa bina tamba mu na.
but ye do not believe, for ye are not of my sheep,
27 Itanba mu ba wo me, mi to ba, ba hu me.
according as I said to you: My sheep my voice do hear, 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 hath given to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to pluck out of the hand of my 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.
Therefore, again, did the Jews take up stones that they may 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 did I shew you from my Father; because of which work of them 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, 'For a good work we do not stone thee, but for evil speaking, and because thou, being a man, dost make 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 having been 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 them he did call gods unto whom the word of God came, (and the Writing 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?
of him whom the Father did sanctify, and send to the world, do ye say — Thou speakest evil, because I said, Son of God I am?
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, 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.
and if I do, even if me ye may not believe, the works believe, that ye may know and may believe that in me [is] the Father, and I in Him.'
39 U ba tsi kpukpa ndi ba la vu ngari, iwa na bawo rju kado ni wo mba.
Therefore were they seeking again to seize him, and he went forth 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 went away again to the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John was at 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 unto him, and said — 'John, indeed, did no sign, and all things, as many as John said about this one were true;'
42 Indji gbugbuwu ba kpanynme niwu ni ki.
and many did believe in him there.
