John 10
1 A tatak in kong ci hi, tuukhawk sung ah kongkha pan tum ngawl in, mundang pan a kato peuma, nguta le phalak te a hihi.
“Most certainly, I tell you, one who doesn’t enter by the door into the sheep fold, but climbs up some other way, is a thief and a robber.
2 Ahihang kongkha pan a tum sia a hile tuu te i tuucing a hihi.
But one who enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 Kongkha cingpa in ama kong hon a; tuu te in ama aw a za uh hi: taciang ama in tuu te a min taw sam in, pusua pui hi.
The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
4 Taciang a tuu te a pusua zawkciang, ama sia tuu te mai ah pai a, tuu te in zui hi: banghangziam cile tuu te in ama aw a he uh hi.
Whenever he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
5 Amate in ngualdang nung zui ngawl tu uh hi, a kung pan tai zaw tu uh hi: banghangziam cile amate in ngualdang te aw a he bua uh hi, ci hi.
They will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him; for they don’t know the voice of strangers.”
6 Jesus in hi sontena amate tung ah son hi: ahihang amate in bangson ci a he bua uh hi.
Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they didn’t understand what he was telling them.
7 Tua zawkciang in Jesus in amate tung ah, A tatak in kong ci hi, keima in tuu kongpi ka hihi.
Jesus therefore said to them again, “Most certainly, I tell you, I am the sheep’s door.
8 Ka mai ah hongpai sa theampo sia nguta le phalak te a hi uh hi: ahihang tuu te in amate aw a ngai bua hi.
All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn’t listen to them.
9 Keima in kongkha ka hihi: mi khatpo keima tawn in a tum a hile, ki ngum tu hi, taciang in sungtang le pusuak tu a, lono hing a mu tu hi.
I am the door. If anyone enters in by me, he will be saved, and will go in and go out and will find pasture.
10 Nguta in ngu tu, that tu le susia tu bek in hongpai hi: kei ka hile amate in nuntakna a nei thei natu le a dimlet nuntakna a nei thei natu in kongpai hi.
The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.
11 Keima in tuucing pha ka hihi: tuucing pha in a tuu te atu in a nuntakna pia hi.
“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
12 Ahihang tuucing a hi ngawl, tuu nei pa zong hi ngawl, a kicial tawm tuucing pa in, ngia hongpai a mu ciang, tuu te nusia in, taisan hi: taciang ngia in tuu te man a, ki thethang siat hi.
He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who doesn’t own the sheep, sees the wolf coming, leaves the sheep, and flees. The wolf snatches the sheep and scatters them.
13 A kicial tawm tuucing pa sia tai hi, banghangziam cile ama sia sum thalaw hi a, tuu te awlmawk ngawl hi.
The hired hand flees because he is a hired hand and doesn’t care for the sheep.
14 Keima in tuucing pha ka hihi, keima in ka tuu te ka he hi, taciang ka tuu te in zong hong he uh hi.
I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and I’m known by my own;
15 Pa in keima hong heak bang in, keima in zong Pa ka he hi: taciang ka tuu te atu in ka nuntakna ka pia hi.
even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 Taciang hi tuukhawk sung ah a theng ngawl lai tuu dang te ka nei lai hi: amate zong ka paipui tu hi, taciang amate in ka aw ngai tu uh a; tuukhawk khat le tuucing khat suak tu uh hi.
I have other sheep which are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will hear my voice. They will become one flock with one shepherd.
17 Tua ahikom ka Pa in keima hong it hi, banghangziam cile ka nuntakna ka lak kik thei tu in ka pia hi.
Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
18 Ka nuntakna sia kuama in kei tung pan in la ngawl hi, ahihang keima thu in ka piak a hihi. Piak thei natu vangletna ka nei a, lakkik thei natu vangletna zong ka nei hi. Hi thupiak sia ka Pa tung pan in ka nga a hihi, ci hi.
No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down by myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. I received this commandment from my Father.”
19 Hi thu te hang in Judah mite sung ah ki khenna omkik hi.
Therefore a division arose again amongst the Jews because of these words.
20 Mitampi in, Ama in doai vei a, a thin-am hi; banghang in a thu ngai nu ziam? ci uh hi.
Many of them said, “He has a demon and is insane! Why do you listen to him?”
21 Ngual dang te in, hibang te sia doai vei te i kammal te hi ngawl hi. Doai in mittaw te khua musak thei ziam? ci uh hi.
Others said, “These are not the sayings of one possessed by a demon. It isn’t possible for a demon to open the eyes of the blind, is it?”
22 Taciang Jerusalem ah apna poai om a, tua hun sia phalbi hun a hihi.
It was the Feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem.
23 Jesus biakinn sung, Solomon talaap sung ah pai hi.
It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon’s porch.
24 Tua zawkciang in Judah mite hongpai uh a, Jesus kim um uh hi, taciang banghun ciangdong hong lungmangsak lai tu ni ziam? Nangma sia Christ na hile, a thiang in hong son tan, ci uh hi.
The Jews therefore came around him and said to him, “How long will you hold us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.”
25 Jesus in, Kong son zo hi, taciang note in um ngawl nu hi: ka Pa min taw ka vawt nasep te in, keima atu in tettipang hi.
Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you don’t believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name, these testify about me.
26 Ahihang kong son sa bang in, ka tuu te na hi ngawl uh hu in, um ngawl na hi uh hi.
But you don’t believe, because you are not of my sheep, as I told you.
27 Ka tuu te in ka aw hong ngai hi, taciang keima in amate ka he hi, taciang amate in hong zui uh hi.
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
29 Ka tung ah hong pia ka Pa sia na theampo sang in lianzaw hi; taciang amate kuama in ka Pa khut sung pan hong sut thei ngwl tu hi.
My Father who has given them to me is greater than all. No one is able to snatch them out of my Father’s hand.
30 Ka pa le keima sia khat ka hi uh hi, ci hi.
I and the Father are one.”
31 Tua zawkciang in Judah mite in Ama sep tu in suangtum tawm leleau uh hi.
Therefore the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
32 Jesus in amate tung ah, Pa kung pan in nasep pha tampi kong lak zo hi; tua nasep te atu in suangtum taw hong sep na hi uh ziam? ci in zo hi.
Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?”
33 Judah mite in zo kik uh a, nasep pha atu in suangtum taw kong sep bua uh hi; ahihang Pathian min na daisak hang a hihi; taciang mihing hi napi, nangma le nangma Pathian in na ki vawt hi, ci uh hi.
The Jews answered him, “We don’t stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God.”
34 Jesus in amate zo kik a, Na thukham uh sung ah, note sia pathian te na hi uh hi, ci in ki at hi ngawl ziam?
Jesus answered them, “Isn’t it written in your law, ‘I said, you are gods’?
35 Amate tung pan Pathian kammal hongpai a hikom in, pathian te, kici a hile, laithiangtho ki paltan thei ngawl hi.
If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture can’t be broken),
36 Keima sia Pa in hong thiangthosak a, leitung ah hong sawl hi, keima sia Pathian Tapa ka hihi, ka ci hu in Pathian mindaisak ni hi, hong ci na hi uh ziam?
do you say of him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You blaspheme,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?
37 Ka Pa i nasep te ka seam bua a hile, hong um heak vun.
If I don’t do the works of my Father, don’t believe me.
38 Ahihang ka seam a hile, keima nong um bua uh zong, ka nasep te um vun: tabang in Pa sia ka sung ah om a, keima sia Pa sung ah ka om hi, ci na he tu uh a, hong um tu nu hi, ci hi.
But if I do them, though you don’t believe me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.”
39 Tua ahikom amate in Jesus sia mat sawm leleau uh hi: ahihang amate khut pan in Jesus suakta hi,
They sought again to seize him, and he went out of their hand.
40 Taciang Jesus sia Jordan ngun ngal, John in amasabel tuiphumna a piak na mun ah paikik a; tua mun ah taam hi.
He went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was baptising at first, and he stayed there.
41 Taciang mi tampi a kung ah hongpai uh a, John in nalamdang bangma vawt ngawl hi: ahihang hisia pa thu John i son theampo man hi, ci uh hi.
Many came to him. They said, “John indeed did no sign, but everything that John said about this man is true.”
42 Tua mun ah mitampi in Ama um uh hi.
Many believed in him there.
