Johan 10
1 Jesuh naw“Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki: to ngvawng mkawt üng käh lut lü, akce üngka naw kai lü lutki cun mpyukeiea ja tome manei hlükiea kyaki.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2 “Mkawt üng lutkia khyang cun toksäma kyaki.
But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 “Mkawt mtät naw ani cun mkawt nghmawn pet se, toe naw a kthai ksing khawikie; amäta toe ami ngming phähphäh am jah khü lü kpunga jah ceh püi khawiki.
To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
4 “Kpunga a jah khü üng, ami hmaia cit lü lam jah msüm se ani cun läk khawikie. Isetiakyaküng, a kthai cun a toe naw ksingki he.
When he hath put forth all his own, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
5 “Acunsepi, khyang kce cun a kthai am ami ksinga kyase, am läk u, dawngin ta khaie” a ti.
And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
6 Ahina msuimcäpnak Jesuh naw jah mtheh se, i a ti hlü hman am ksing u.
This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
7 Acunüng, Jesuh naw, “Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki: kei cun toe phäh mkawta ka kyaki.
Jesus therefore said unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 Keia hmaia law maki naküt cun mpyukei ja tome manei hlükiea kyaki he, to naw pi a kthai am jah ngja.
All that came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
9 “Kei mkawta ka kyaki. Kei üngkhyüh lutki naküt naw küikyanak yah khai; a k’uma lut lü, akpunga lut law lü, a ei vai hmu khai.
I am the door; by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and go out, and shall find pasture.
10 “Mpyukei cun mpyu khai, hnim khai ja kpye khaia va law khawiki. Kei cun xünnak ami yahnak vai däka am kya lü kümkawikia xünnak ami yah vaia phäha ka lawki ni.
The thief cometh not, but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy: I came that they may have life, and may have [it] abundantly.
11 “Kei toksäm kdawa ka kyaki; toksäm kdaw naw toea phäha a sak tawn khawhki.
I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep.
12 “Toksäm am niki, ami ngvaha toksäm naw mhnge law se a hmuh üng toe jah hawih lü jah dawng ta se, mhnge naw toe jah hutei lü jah kpyang khawiki.
He that is a hireling, and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, beholdeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth, and the wolf snatcheth them, and scattereth [them]:
13 “Ami ngvaha toksäm cun ngvaha kyase, toe am jah cäi na lü jah dawng taki.
[he fleeth] because he is a hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
14 “Kei cun dawkia toksäm ni. Pa naw na ksing se kei naw pi Pa ka ksinga mäiha, ka toe ka jah ksingki. Ka toe naw pi na ksingki he. “Ami phäha ta ka thih khawhki.
I am the good shepherd; and I know mine own, and mine own know me,
even as the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 “Ahina to ngvawnga k'uma am veki toe pi ka jah ta hamki. Acun he pi ka jah lawpüi khai. Acun he naw pi ka kthai ngai u se, to pä mat, toksäm mat däka kya law khai.
And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and they shall become one flock, one shepherd.
17 “Kei naw ka sak tawn lü, xünnak ka yah be khaia kyase, Pa naw na mhläkphyanaki.
Therefore doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
18 “U naw ka sak am lak thei. Kamäta hlüeia ka sak ka pet ni. Ka sak cun pe lü, ka loei be khawhnaka khyaibahnak ka taki. Ahina ngthupet hin ka Paa veia ka yaha kyaki,” a ti.
No one taketh it away 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 received I from my Father.
19 Acuna ngthua phäha Judahea ksunga ngtainak ve lawki.
There arose a division again among the Jews because of these words.
20 Aknung bawk naw, “Ani üng khawyai umki ni, yawki ni; ise a ngthu nami ngaiki ni?” ami ti.
And many of them said, He hath a demon, and is mad; why hear ye him?
21 Avang naw, “Khawyaia venak naw ahin he am jah pyen thei. Khawyai naw ihawkba amikmüe jah vaisak be khawh khai ni? ami ti.
Others said, These are not the sayings of one possessed with a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?
22 Khawksik khya üng Jerusalem mlüh Temple Kainaka Pawi veki.
And it was the feast of the dedication at Jerusalem:
23 Jesuh cun Temple k'um, Solamon Luhnak üng ve hlü se,
it was winter; and Jesus was walking in the temple in Solomon’s porch.
24 Judahe naw a peia ngbäm law u lü, “Am ngsingngkyaikia i vei na ve ham khai ni? Mesijah na kyak üng angsinga jah mtheha,” ti lü kthähkie.
The Jews therefore came round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou hold us in suspense? If thou art the Christ, tell us plainly.
25 Jesuh naw, “Ka ning jah mtheh päng ni, am nami jumki; ka Paa ngming am khut ka pawhe cun ka saksie ni.
Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believe not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, these bear witness of me.
26 “Acunsepi, ka toea am nami nia phäh, am na jum uki.”
But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep.
27 “Ka toe naw ka kthai ksing khawikie, kei naw jah ksing ngü se, na läk law khawikie.
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
29 “Amimi na jah pekia ka Pa cun anaküta kthaka hlüngtai bawki; u naw pi Paa kut üngka am loei thei.
My Father, who hath given [them] unto me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch [them] out of the Father’s hand.
30 “Kei ja ka Pa cun mata kani kyaki,” a ti.
I and the Father are one.
31 Judahe naw ami khawngnak vaia lung loei betükie.
The Jews took up stones again to stone him.
32 Cunsepi Jesuh naw jah msang lü, “Nami hmuha Pa naw a na pet khut akdaw khawhah ka pawhki ni, ia phäha lung am nami na khawng hlüki ni?” a ti.
Jesus answered them, Many good works have I showed you from the Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
33 Judahe naw, “Khut akdaw na pawha phäha lung am kami ning khawng hlüki am ni. Pa na pyenkse ja, nang nghngicim khyanga kya kphei lü Mhnama na ngsuieia phäh ni,” ti lü, ami msang.
The Jews answered him, For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
34 Jesuh naw, “Namimäta Thum üng, ‘Nangmi cun mhnamea nami kyaki ka ti’ ti lü am ng’yuk mä?
Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
35 “Cangcima pyen naküt cun anghläia cangki ti mi ksingki. Pamhnam naw mhnamea a jah suia khyange üng a ngthu jah peki.
If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came (and the scripture cannot be broken),
36 “Pa naw mcawn lü khawmdek khana a na tüih law kei naw, ‘Kei Mhnama Capa ka tia phäha, ‘Mhnam na pyenkseki’ nami na tinaki aw?
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 “Ka Paa ngjak hlü am ka pawh üng, käh na jum kawm uki.
If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
38 “Acunsepi, ka Pa a khut ka pawh üng ta, kei am nami na jum üng pi, Pa kei üng a ve ja Pa üng kei ka vea mawng ahun nami ksing hin anglät cäng khaia, ka pawhmsahea hleng ta nami jum vai sü” ti lü, a jah msang.
But if I do them, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.
39 Jesuh man khaiea ami bü be kyaw, acunsepi, ami kut üngka naw lätei betüki.
They sought again to take him: and he went forth out of their hand.
40 Jordan Mliktuia caye, Johan naw akcüka Baptican a jah petnak da cit lü acuia veki.
And he went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was at the first baptizing; and there he abode.
41 Khyang khawkän a veia law u lü, “Johan naw müncankse i am pawh; acunsepi Johan naw hina mawng a pyen naküt cang ve” tikie.
And many came unto him; and they said, John indeed did no sign: but all things whatsoever John spake of this man were true.
42 Acunüng, acuia khyang khawkän naw Jesuh jumkie.
And many believed on him there.
