Yohane 10
1 “Zoonadi, Ine ndikukuwuzani inu Afarisi, kuti munthu amene salowera pa khomo mʼkhola la nkhosa, koma amalowera pena pake ndi wakuba ndi wachifwamba.
Verily, verily, I say unto you: —He that entereth not, through the door, into the fold of the sheep, but goeth up from another place, that man, is, a thief, and, a robber.
2 Munthu amene amalowera pa khomo ndi mʼbusa wankhosazo.
But, he that entereth through the door, is, shepherd, of the sheep:
3 Mlonda amamutsekulira khomo, ndipo nkhosa zimamvera mawu ake. Iye amaziyitana mayina nkhosa zakezo, nazitulutsa.
To him, the porter openeth, and, the sheep, unto his voice, hearken: and, his own sheep, he calleth by name, and leadeth them forth.
4 Akazitulutsa nkhosa zake zonse, iye amazitsogolera, ndipo nkhosa zakezo zimamutsata chifukwa zimadziwa mawu ake.
As soon as, all his own, he hath put forth, before them, he moveth on, and, the sheep, follow him, because they know his voice;
5 Koma nkhosazo sizidzatsatira mlendo. Izo zidzamuthawa chifukwa sizizindikira mawu a mlendo.”
But, a stranger, will they in nowise follow, but will flee from him, because they know not the voice, of strangers.
6 Yesu ananena mawu ophiphiritsawa, koma Afarisi sanazindikire zimene ankawawuza.
This similitude, spake Jesus unto them; but, those men, understood not what the things were which he was speaking unto them.
7 Choncho Yesu anatinso, “Zoonadi, Ine ndikukuwuzani kuti Ine ndine khomo la nkhosa.
Jesus, therefore, said, again—Verily, verily, I say unto you: —I, am the door of the sheep:
8 Onse amene anadza ndisanabwere Ine ndi akuba ndi achifwamba, ndipo nkhosa sizinawamvere.
All, as many as came before me, are thieves, and, robbers: but the sheep hearkened nor unto them.
9 Ine ndine khomo, aliyense amene alowa kudzera mwa Ine adzapulumuka. Iye adzalowa ndi kutuluka ndi kupeza msipu.
I, am the door: through me, if anyone enter, he shall be saved, and shall come in and go out, and, pasture, shall find.
10 Mbala sibwera chabe koma kuti idzabe, kupha ndi kuwononga. Ine ndabwera kuti iwo akhale ndi moyo, ndi kukhala nawo wochuluka.
The thief, cometh not, save that he may thieve and slay and destroy: I, came, that, life, they might have, and, above measure, might have.
11 “Ine ndine Mʼbusa wabwino. Mʼbusa wabwino amataya moyo wake chifukwa cha nkhosa zake.
I, am the good shepherd: The good shepherd, his life, layeth down, for the sheep.
12 Wantchito ndi mʼbusa amene nkhosazo si zake. Choncho, pamene aona mmbulu ukubwera, iye amazisiya nkhosazo ndi kuthawa. Ndipo mmbulu umagwira nkhosazo ndikuzibalalitsa.
The hireling, even because he is no shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, vieweth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth, —and, the wolf, seizeth them and scattereth, —
13 Munthuyo amathawa chifukwa ndi wantchito ndipo sasamalira chilichonse cha nkhosazo.
Because, a hireling, he is, and hath no care for the sheep.
14 “Ine ndine mʼbusa wabwino. Ine ndimazidziwa nkhosa zanga ndipo nkhosa zangazo zimandidziwa,
I, am the good shepherd, and know my own, and, my own, know me, —
15 monga momwe Atate amandidziwa Ine, ndiponso Ine kudziwira Atatewo. Ndimapereka moyo wanga chifukwa cha nkhosa.
Just as, the Father, knoweth me, and, I, know, the Father; and, my life, I lay down for the sheep.
16 Ine ndili ndi nkhosa zina zimene sizili za gulu ili. Ine ndiyenera kuzibweretsanso. Izonso zidzamvera mawu anga, ndipo zidzakhala gulu limodzi ndi mʼbusa mmodzi.
And, other sheep, have I, which are not of this fold: those also, I must needs bring, and, unto my voice, will they hearken, and there shall come to be, One flock, One shepherd.
17 Nʼchifukwa chake Atate anga amandikonda, popeza Ine ndikupereka moyo wanga kuti ndiwutengenso.
Therefore, doth the Father, love, me, because, I, lay down my life, that, again, I may receive it: —
18 Palibe amene angawuchotse mwa Ine, koma ndikuwupereka mwakufuna kwanga. Ine ndili ndi ulamuliro wa kuwupereka ndi ulamuliro wakuwutenganso. Lamulo ili ndinalandira kwa Atate anga.”
No one, forced it from me, but, I, lay it down, of myself, —Authority, have I, to lay it down, and, authority, have I, again, to receive it: This commandment, received I, from my Father.
19 Pa mawu awa Ayuda anagawikananso.
A division, again, took place among the Jews, because of these words.
20 Ambiri a iwo anati, “Iye ndi wogwidwa ndi ziwanda ndi wamisala. Chifukwa chiyani mukumvera Iye?”
But many from among them were saying—A demon, he hath, and is raving, —Why, unto him, do ye hearken?
21 Koma ena anati, “Awa si mawu a munthu wogwidwa ndi ziwanda. Kodi ziwanda zingathe bwanji kutsekula maso a wosaona?”
Others, said—These sayings, are not those of one demonized, —Can, a demon, open the eyes of, the blind?
22 Ku Yerusalemu kunali chikondwerero chokumbukira kupatulidwa kwa Nyumba ya Mulungu. Inali nthawi yozizira,
The feast of dedication took place at that time, in Jerusalem: it was, winter,
23 ndipo Yesu ankayenda mʼbwalo la Nyumbayo ku malo a Solomoni.
and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the porch of Solomon.
24 Ayuda anamuzungulira Iye akunena kuti, “Kodi iwe udzazunguza malingaliro athu mpaka liti? Ngati iwe ndi Khristu, tiwuze momveka.”
The Jews, therefore, surrounded him, and were saying unto him—How long, holdest thou, our lives, in suspense? If, thou, art the Christ, tell us, plainly.
25 Yesu anayankha kuti, “Ine ndimakuwuzani, koma inu simukhulupirira. Ntchito zimene ndikuchita mʼdzina la Atate anga zikundichitira umboni,
Jesus answered them—I told you, and ye believe not: The works which, I, am doing in the name of my Father, the same, bear witness concerning me.
26 koma inu simukhulupirira chifukwa simuli a gulu lankhosa zanga.
But, ye, believe not, because ye are not of my sheep.
27 Nkhosa zanga zimamva mawu anga, Ine ndimazidziwa, ndipo zimanditsata Ine.
My sheep, unto my voice, hearken, —and, I, know, them, and they follow me, —
29 Atate anga, amene anandipatsa Ine, ndi akulu kuposa onse. Palibe amene angazikwatule mʼdzanja la Atate anga.
What, my Father, hath given me, is, something greater than all, and, no one, can carry off out of the hand of my Father: —
30 Ine ndi Atate ndife amodzi.”
I and the Father, are, one.
31 Ayuda anatolanso miyala kuti amugende Iye,
The Jews again lifted up stones, that they might stone him.
32 koma Yesu anawawuza kuti, “Ine ndakuonetsani zinthu zambiri zabwino zodabwitsa kuchokera kwa Atate. Nʼchifukwa chiti mwa izi chimene mukundigendera?”
Jesus answered them—Many works, have I showed you, noble ones, from my Father: For which of those works are ye stoning me?
33 Ayuda anayankha kuti, “Ife sitikukugenda chifukwa cha izi, koma popeza ukunyoza Mulungu, chifukwa iwe, munthu wamba, ukuti ndiwe Mulungu.”
The Jews answered him—Concerning a noble work, are we not stoning thee; but concerning profane speech, —and because, thou, being, a man, art making thyself, God.
34 Yesu anawayankha kuti, “Kodi sizinalembedwa mʼmalamulo anu kuti, ‘Ine ndanena kuti ndinu milungu?’
Jesus answered them—Is it not written in your law: I, said, Ye are, gods?
35 Ngati anawatcha milungu anthu amene analandira mawu a Mulungu, pajatu Malemba sangasweke,
If, those, he called gods, unto whom, the word of God, came—and the Scripture cannot be broken—
36 nanga bwanji uyu amene Atate anamuyika padera monga wake weniweni ndi kumutuma ku dziko lapansi? Nanga ndi chifukwa chiyani mukundinena Ine kuti ndikuchita chipongwe? Kodi nʼchifukwa choti ndanena kuti, ‘Ine ndine Mwana wa Mulungu?’
Of him whom, the Father, hallowed and sent forth into the world, are, ye, saying—Thou speakest profanely, because I said, Son of God, I am?
37 Musandikhulupirire Ine ngati sindichita ntchito za Atate anga.
If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not believe in me;
38 Koma ngati Ine ndikuchita zimenezi, ngakhale kuti simundikhulupirira, khulupirirani ntchito zodabwitsazo, ndipo mudziwe ndi kuzindikira kuti Atate ali mwa Ine, ndiponso Ine ndili mwa Atate.”
But, if I am doing them, even though, in me, ye believe not, in the works, believe, —that ye may get to know and go on to know, that the Father is, in me, and, I, am, in the Father.
39 Iwo anafuna kumugwiranso koma anawapulumuka mʼmanja mwawo.
They were [therefore] again seeking to take him; and he went forth out of their hand.
40 Kenaka Yesu anabwereranso kutsidya la mtsinje wa Yorodani kumalo kumene Yohane ankabatiza mʼmasiku akale. Iye anakhala kumeneko
And he went away again, beyond the Jordan, unto the place where John was at the first, immersing; and he abode there.
41 ndipo anthu ambiri anabwera kwa Iye. Iwo anati, “Ngakhale kuti Yohane sanachite chizindikiro chodabwitsa, zonse zimene Yohane ananena za munthu uyu zinali zoona.”
And, many, came unto him, and were saying—John, indeed, did not so much as, one sign; but, all things, whatsoever John said concerning this one, were, true.
42 Ndipo pamalo amenewo ambiri anakhulupirira Yesu.
And, many, believed on him there.
