Johan 10
1 “Nangmih taengah rhep rhep kan thui, thohka lamloh tu vongup khuila kun pawt tih a hloeh la aka yoeng tah hlanghuen neh dingca ni.
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 Tedae tu kah tudawn la aka om tah thohka longah kun.
But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 Anih te imtawt loh thohka a ong pah tih tu loh a ol te a yaak. Amah kah tu te khaw a ming neh a khue tih a mawt.
To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
4 Amah kah te boeih a hlah vaengah a hmaiah cet tih tu rhoek loh a ol te a hmat uh dongah anih te a vai uh.
When he hath put forth all his own, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
5 Tedae hlanglang tah vai uh loengloeng pawt vetih hlanglang kah ol te a hmat uh pawt dongah anih taeng lamloh rhaelrham uh ni,” a ti nah.
And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
6 Hekah thuidoeknah he amih taengah Jesuh loh a thui dae amih taengah a thui te metla a om khaw tekah rhoek loh ming uh pawh.
This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
7 Te donagah Jesuh loh, “Nangmih taengah rhep rhep kan thui, Kai tah tu thohka la ka om.
Jesus therefore said unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 Kai hmaikah aka pawk boeih tah hlanghuen neh dingca rhoek ni. Tedae tu loh amih ol te a hnatun moenih.
All that came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
9 Kai tah thohka la ka om, u khaw kai lamloh a kun atah daem vetih a voei a bal ah rhamtlim a hmuh ni.
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 Hlanghuen tah huen ham, ngawn ham neh poci sak ham pawt atah ha pawk moenih. Kai tah hingnah a khueh uh phoeiah a puehsoi dang sak ham ka pawk.
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 Kai tah tudawn then la ka om. Tudawn then loh a hinglu te tu rhoek ham a hmoel.
I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep.
12 Kutloh tah tudawn lam khaw om pawh. A tu khaw amah kah om pawh. Uithang ha pawk te a hmuh vaengah tu a hno tih a rhaelrham tak dongah uithang loh a poelyoe tih a thaek.
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 Kutloh la a om dongah tu ham anih a ngaihuet pawh.
[he fleeth] because he is a hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
14 Kai tah tudawn then la ka om dongah kamah kah rhoek te ka ming tih kamah kah rhoek loh kai m'ming uh.
I am the good shepherd; and I know mine own, and mine own know me,
15 Pa loh kai m'ming tih kai loh pa te ka ming vanbangla ka hinglu te khaw tu rhoek ham ka hmoel.
even as the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 Tedae hekah vongup ah aka om mueh tu a tloe rhoek te ka khueh pueng. Amih khaw ka khue ham a kuek. Te vaengah kai ol te a yaak uh vetih tuping pakhat, tudawn pakhat la om uh ni.
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 Kai loh ka hinglu te koep dang ham ka voeih dongah pa loh kai n'lungnah.
Therefore doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
18 Kai lamkah hingnah te a rhawt uh thai moenih. Tedae te te kai kamah lamkah ni ka voeih. Te te voeih ham saithainah ka khueh tih koep lat ham khaw saithainah ka khueh. Hekah olpaek he a pa taeng lamkah ka dang,” koep a ti nah.
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 Hekah olka kongah Judah rhoek khuiah paekboenah koep om.
There arose a division again among the Jews because of these words.
20 Te dongah amih khuikah a kumngai loh, “Rhaithae a kaem tih ang coeng, balae tih anih ol na hnatun uh?” a ti uh.
And many of them said, He hath a demon, and is mad; why hear ye him?
21 A tloe rhoek loh, “He tah rhaithae aka kaem kah olka la om mahpawh. Rhaithae loh mikdael kah mik tueng sak thai pawt maco?” a ti uh.
Others said, These are not the sayings of one possessed with a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?
22 Te vaengah sikca la om tih Jerusalem ah imciim khotue te om.
And it was the feast of the dedication at Jerusalem:
23 Te vaengah Jesuh tah Bawkim kah Solomon impup ah pongpa.
it was winter; and Jesus was walking in the temple in Solomon’s porch.
24 Te vaengah Judah rhoek loh amah te a vael uh tih, “Mevaeng duela kaimih kah hinglu te na ngaihlih sak eh? Khrih la na om atah kaimih taengah sayalh la thui lah,” a ti nauh.
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 loh amih te, “Nangmih taengah ka thui dae na tangnah uh pawh. A pa ming neh ka bibi saii long te kai kawng a phong.
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 Tedae kai kah tu khuiah na om uh pawt dongah na tangnah uh pawh.
But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep.
27 Ka tu rhoek tah ka ol te a yaak uh tih kai long khaw amih te ka ming dongah kai m'vai uh.
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
29 A pa loh kai m'paek coeng te tah tanglue la boeih om tih pa kut lamkah te a poelyoe thai moenih.
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 Kai neh pa tah pakhat ni,” a ti nah.
I and the Father are one.
31 Judah rhoek loh amah te dae ham lungto koep a muk uh.
The Jews took up stones again to stone him.
32 Jesuh loh amih te, “Pa lamkah khoboe then te nangmih muep kan tueng coeng. Te khuiah mebang khoboe nen nim kai nan dae uh eh,” a ti nah.
Jesus answered them, Many good works have I showed you from the Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
33 Judah rhoek loh amah te, “Khoboe then dongah pawt tih soehsalnah neh nang hlang la aka om loh Pathen la namah te na sa uh dongah nang te kan dae uh,” a ti nauh.
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 Amih te Jesuh loh, “Nangmih taengah ka thui dae na tangnah uh pawh. A pa ming neh ka bibi saii long te kai kawng a phong.
Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
35 Pathen kah olka aka dang te Pathen rhoek la a khue atah cacim te a phae thai moenih.
If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came (and the scripture cannot be broken),
36 Pa loh a cil tih diklai la a tueih loh, ' Kai Pathen capa ni,' ka ti dongah a salpham tila na thui uh a?
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 A pa kah bibi te ka saii pawt atah kai n'tangnah uh boeh.
If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
38 Tedae ka saii atah kai nan tangnah uh pawt cakhaw kai ah a pa om tih kai khaw a pa dongah ka om tila na ming uh tih phat om ham bibi te tangnah uh,” a,” a ti nah.
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 Te dongah amah te tuuk ham koep a mae uh dae amih kut lamkah loh vik cet.
They sought again to take him: and he went forth out of their hand.
40 Te phoeiah Jordan rhalvangan la koep cet tih pahoi naeh. Te hmuen ah te Johan om lamhma tih a nuem.
And he went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was at the first baptizing; and there he abode.
41 Te vaengah a taengla muep a paan uh tih, “Johan loh miknoek saii ngawn pawt dae Johan loh anih kawng a thui boeih te thuem,” a ti uh.
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 Te dongah tekah rhoek loh amah te muep a tangnah uh.
And many believed on him there.
