Yohana 10
1 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Ngunsalila isyene, mundu jwalijose jwakwinjila mu lichinga lya ngondolo pangajinjilila pa nnango, nambo akwinjilila kwine, jwelejo ali jwawiyi ni jwakusumula.
Truly I say to you, He who does not go through the door into the place where the sheep are kept, but gets in by some other way, is a thief and an outlaw.
2 Nambo jwakwinjilila pa nnango, jwelejo ali jwakuchinga ngondolo.
He who goes in by the door is the keeper of the sheep.
3 Jwakulindilila akumbugulila nnango mundu jo, ni ngondolo sikupilikana liloŵe lya jwakuchinga, nombejo akusiŵilanga ngondolo syakwe jwalijose kwa liina lyakwe ni kusikoposya paasa.
The porter lets him in; and the sheep give ear to his voice; he says over the names of the sheep, and takes them out.
4 Amalaga kusikoposya paasa akusilongolela, nombe ngondolo syo sikunkuya, pakuŵa sikulimanyilila liloŵe lyakwe.
When he has got them all out, he goes before them, and the sheep go after him, for they have knowledge of his voice.
5 Ngondolo syo ngasikombola kunkuya jwannendo, nambo sisimmutuche pakuŵa ngasikumanyilila liloŵe lyakwe.”
They will not go after another who is not their keeper, but will go from him in flight, because his voice is strange to them.
6 Che Yesu ŵaasalile chitagu cho, nambo ŵandu wo nganaimanyilila chasachile kwasalila.
In this Jesus was teaching them in the form of a story: but what he said was not clear to them.
7 Nipele Che Yesu ŵaŵechete sooni, “Ngunsalila isyene, uneji ndili nnango wa kwinjilila ngondolo.
So Jesus said again, Truly I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 Ŵane wose ŵaŵanongolele kwika ŵaliji ŵawiyi ni ŵakusumula, nombe ngondolo syo nganisyapilikanila.
All who came before me are thieves and outlaws: but the sheep did not give ear to them.
9 Uneji ndili nnango, mundu jwalijose jwakwinjila mu lichinga kwa kwinjilila kukwangu chakulupuswe, chajinjile ni kukopoka, ni kupata yakulya.
I am the door: if any man goes in through me he will have salvation, and will go in and go out, and will get food.
10 Jwawiyi akwika achisakaga kwiŵa ni kuulaga ni kujonanga. Uneji iiche kuti akole umi wa usyene, wangaukupungula.”
The thief comes only to take the sheep and to put them to death: he comes for their destruction: I have come so that they may have life and have it in greater measure.
11 “Uneji ndili jwakuchinga jwambone. Jwakuchinga jwambone akuutyosya umi wakwe kwa ligongo lya ngondolo syakwe.
I am the good keeper of sheep: the good keeper gives his life for the sheep.
12 Jwamasengo jwanganaŵa jwakuchinga, namose nganaŵa nsyene ngondolo. Pakugawona masogo gali nkwika, akusileka ngondolo ni kuutuka. Nipele masogo gakusikamula ni kusipwilinganya.
He who is a servant, and not the keeper or the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming and goes in flight, away from the sheep; and the wolf comes down on them and sends them in all directions:
13 Mundu jo akuutuka pakuŵa ali mundu jwamasengo jwa malipilo ni ngondolo ngaŵa chindu kukwakwe.
Because he is a servant he has no interest in the sheep.
14 Uneji ndili jwakuchinga jwambone. Ngusimanyilila ngondolo syangu ni ngondolo syangu sikuumanyilila une,
I am the good keeper; I have knowledge of my sheep, and they have knowledge of me,
15 mpela ila Atati yakuti pakuumanyilila, ni uneji inguti pakwamanyilila Atati. Uneji nguutyosya umi wangu kwa ligongo lya ngondolo.
Even as the Father has knowledge of me and I of the Father; and I am giving my life for the sheep.
16 Sooni ngwete ngondolo sine syangaŵa sya lichinga li. Nombesyo ngusachilwa kusiichisya, nombesyo sisipilikane liloŵe lyangu ni chikuŵe mpingo umo ni jwakuchinga jumo.”
And I have other sheep which are not of this field: I will be their guide in the same way, and they will give ear to my voice, so there will be one flock and one keeper.
17 “Atati akuunonyela une ligongo nguutyosya umi wangu kuti mbochele sooni.
For this reason am I loved by the Father, because I give up my life so that I may take it again.
18 Ngapagwa mundu jwakuusumula umi wangu, uneji nguutyosya nansyene. Ngwete ukombole wa kuutyosya ni ukombole wa kuutola. Yelei ni yatite pakulajisya Atati ŵangu mbanganye.”
No one takes it away from me; I give it up of myself. I have power to give it up, and I have power to take it again. These orders I have from my Father.
19 Kwa ligongo lya maloŵe ga Che Yesu, Ŵayahudi ŵatindene sooni.
There was a division again among the Jews because of these words.
20 Ŵajinji mwa ŵelewo ŵatite, “Akwete lisoka, ni sooni jwampugwe! Kwachichi nkumpilikanila?”
And a number of them said, He has an evil spirit and is out of his mind; why do you give ear to him?
21 Ŵandu ŵane ŵatite, “Mundu jwakamwilwe ni lisoka ngakukombola kuŵecheta yelei. Ana lisoka likukombola kugaugula meeso ga ŵandu ŵangalola?”
Others said, These are not the words of one who has an evil spirit. Is it possible for an evil spirit to make blind people see?
22 Ku Yelusalemu ko kwaliji ni chindimba chakukumbuchila kujiŵika pajika Nyuumba kwa ligongo lya Ambuje. Ni katema ko kaliji katema ka mbepo.
Then came the feast of the opening of the Temple in Jerusalem: it was winter;
23 Nombe Che Yesu ŵaliji nkwendajenda pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu pansana pa mwenye Che Selemani.
And Jesus was walking in the Temple, in Solomon's covered way.
24 Nipele Ŵayahudi ŵaasyungwile, ni ŵambusisye, “Ana chintuleche tuli nkuganisya mpaka chakachi? Iŵaga mmwe ndi Kilisito Jwakuwombola, ntusalile uchenene.”
Then the Jews came round him, saying, how long are you going to keep us in doubt? If you are the Christ, say so clearly.
25 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Nansalile, nambo nganimungulupilila. Masengo gingugapanganya kwa ulamusi wa Atati ŵangu gakulosya kuti une ndili jwelejo.
Jesus said in answer, I have said it and you have no belief: the works which I do in my Father's name, these give witness about me.
26 Nambo ŵanyamwe ngankukulupilila pakuŵa ŵanyamwe nganimma ngondolo syangu.
But you have no belief because you are not of my sheep.
27 Ngondolo syangu sikupilikana liloŵe lyangu. Uneji ngusimanyilila, nombesyo sikuunguya.
My sheep give ear to my voice, and I have knowledge of them, and they come after me:
29 Atati ŵangu juŵambele ngondolo syo ali jwankulu kupunda wose, nombe ngapagwa mundu jwalijose juchakombole kusipokonya mmakono mwa Atati ŵangu.
That which my Father has given to me has more value than all; and no one is able to take anything out of the Father's hand.
30 Uneji ni Atati ŵangu tuli ŵamo.”
I and my Father are one.
31 Nipele Ŵayahudi ŵalokwete sooni maganga kuti ŵaulaje Che Yesu.
Then the Jews took up stones again to send at him.
32 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Nannosisye masengo gambone gamajinji gaŵambele Atati ŵangu kuti nagapanganye. Ana masengo chi gambone mwa gelego gankusaka kumulajila?”
Jesus said to them in answer, I have let you see a number of good works from the Father; for which of those works are you stoning me?
33 Ŵayahudi ŵajanjile, “Ngatukumponya maganga kwa ligongo lya masengo gambone, nambo kwa ligongo lya kwatukana Akunnungu! Pakuŵa mmwejo ndi mundu pe, nambo nkulitenda Akunnungu.”
This was their answer: We are not stoning you for a good work but for evil words; because being a man you make yourself God.
34 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ilembekwe Mmalajisyo genu kuti, Akunnungu ŵatite, ‘Ŵanyamwe ndi achiminungu?’
In answer, Jesus said, Is there not a saying in your law, I said, You are gods?
35 Akunnungu ŵaaŵilasile achiminungu aŵala wose ŵaŵasalilwe liloŵe lyao, ni uweji tuimanyi kuti Malembelo ga Akunnungu gakuŵecheta usyene moŵa gose.
If he said they were gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Writings may not be broken),
36 Sambano Atati asagwile ni kunduma pachilambo pa. Kwachichi ŵanyamwe kuusalila, ngwatukana Akunnungu, panguti, uneji ndili Mwana jwa Akunnungu.
Do you say of him whom the Father made holy and sent into the world, Your words are evil; because I said, I am God's Son?
37 Iŵaga ngangupanganya masengo gaasachile Atati ŵangu nagapanganye, nkangulupilila une.
If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not have belief in me;
38 Nambo iŵaga ngugapanganya masengo gao, natamuno munaangulupilile uneji, ngakulupilile masengo gangu. Pelepo chimmanyilile kusyene kuti Atati ali mwangu une ni uneji ndili mwa Atati.”
But if I am doing them, then have belief in the works even if you have no belief in me; so that you may see clearly and be certain that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.
39 Nipele ŵalinjile sooni kwakamula Che Yesu, nambo ŵalikulupwisye ni kutyoka.
Then again they made an attempt to take him; but he got away from them.
40 Che Yesu ŵajawile sooni pesi lusulo lwa Yolodani, kwiuto kuŵabatisyaga che Yohana ŵandu kula ni kutama kweleko.
And he went again to the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John first gave baptism; and he was there for a time.
41 Ŵandu ŵajinji ŵanjaulile ni kuti, “Che Yohana nganaapanganya chimanyisyo chachili chose. Nambo yose yaisasile che Yohana nkati mundu ju ili isyene.”
And a great number of people came to him, saying, John did no sign: but everything John said of this man was true.
42 Kweleko ŵandu ŵajinji ŵaakulupilile Che Yesu.
And a number came to have faith in him there.
