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.
“Most assuredly I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2 “Mkawt üng lutkia khyang cun toksäma kyaki.
But he who enters by the door is a 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 doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads 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.
And whenever he takes out his own sheep he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice.
5 “Acunsepi, khyang kce cun a kthai am ami ksinga kyase, am läk u, dawngin ta khaie” a ti.
But they will not follow a stranger; rather they will run away from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.”
6 Ahina msuimcäpnak Jesuh naw jah mtheh se, i a ti hlü hman am ksing u.
Jesus gave them this illustration, but they did not understand what He was telling them.
7 Acunüng, Jesuh naw, “Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki: kei cun toe phäh mkawta ka kyaki.
Then Jesus addressed them again: “Most assuredly I say to 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 who ever came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to 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. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and 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 comes only in order to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come so that they may have life, and 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 lays down his life on behalf of 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.
But the hired man, not being the shepherd and not owning the sheep, sees the wolf coming and abandons the sheep, and runs away; and the wolf snatches the sheep and scatters them.
13 “Ami ngvaha toksäm cun ngvaha kyase, toe am jah cäi na lü jah dawng taki.
Now the hired man runs away because he is a hired man and it does not matter to him about 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 my own sheep, and I am known by them.
Just as the Father knows me, I also know the Father, and I lay down my life on behalf of 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.
I also have other sheep, that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice; and there will be one flock, one shepherd.
17 “Kei naw ka sak tawn lü, xünnak ka yah be khaia kyase, Pa naw na mhläkphyanaki.
“Because of this the Father loves me, in that I lay down my life so that I may take it up 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 takes it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This command I have received from my Father.”
19 Acuna ngthua phäha Judahea ksunga ngtainak ve lawki.
Therefore there was another division 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.
Many of them were saying: “He has a demon and is raving mad. Why do you listen to 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 were saying: “These are not the sayings of someone who is demonized. A demon cannot open blind people's eyes, can it?”
22 Khawksik khya üng Jerusalem mlüh Temple Kainaka Pawi veki.
Now it was the Feast of Dedication in Jerusalem; and it was winter.
23 Jesuh cun Temple k'um, Solamon Luhnak üng ve hlü se,
And Jesus was walking about 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.
Then the Jews surrounded Him and said to Him: “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are 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 did tell you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name—these testify concerning me.
26 “Acunsepi, ka toea am nami nia phäh, am na jum uki.”
But you do not believe because you are not among my sheep, just like I told you.
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 has given them to me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch out of my 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.
Therefore the Jews picked 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 I have shown you from my Father. For which one of them are you stoning 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 saying, “It is not for a good work that we are stoning you, but for blasphemy; precisely because you, being a man, make yourself 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, you 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’ to 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?
do you say ‘You are blaspheming’ to the One the Father sanctified and sent into the world because I said, ‘I am God's Son’?
37 “Ka Paa ngjak hlü am ka pawh üng, käh na jum kawm uki.
If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not believe me.
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 am doing them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, so that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in Him.”
39 Jesuh man khaiea ami bü be kyaw, acunsepi, ami kut üngka naw lätei betüki.
So they tried again to seize Him, but He escaped from their hand.
40 Jordan Mliktuia caye, Johan naw akcüka Baptican a jah petnak da cit lü acuia veki.
He went away again across the Jordan, to the place where John was baptizing at first; and He remained there.
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 to Him and said, “Though John did not perform any sign, everything John said about this man was true.”
42 Acunüng, acuia khyang khawkän naw Jesuh jumkie.
And many of the people there believed into Him.
