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.
Verily, verily, I say to you, He that enters not in by the door to the fold of the sheep, but mounts up elsewhere, he is a thief and a robber;
2 Nambo jwakwinjilila pa nnango, jwelejo ali jwakuchinga ngondolo.
but he that enters in by the door is [the] shepherd 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.
To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out.
4 Amalaga kusikoposya paasa akusilongolela, nombe ngondolo syo sikunkuya, pakuŵa sikulimanyilila liloŵe lyakwe.
When he has put forth all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
5 Ngondolo syo ngasikombola kunkuya jwannendo, nambo sisimmutuche pakuŵa ngasikumanyilila liloŵe lyakwe.”
But they will not follow a stranger, but will flee from him, because they know not the voice of strangers.
6 Che Yesu ŵaasalile chitagu cho, nambo ŵandu wo nganaimanyilila chasachile kwasalila.
This allegory spoke Jesus to them, but they did not know what it was [of] which he spoke to them.
7 Nipele Che Yesu ŵaŵechete sooni, “Ngunsalila isyene, uneji ndili nnango wa kwinjilila ngondolo.
Jesus therefore said again to them, Verily, verily, 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 whoever came before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not hear 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 one enter in by me, he shall be saved, and shall go in and shall go out and shall find pasture.
10 Jwawiyi akwika achisakaga kwiŵa ni kuulaga ni kujonanga. Uneji iiche kuti akole umi wa usyene, wangaukupungula.”
The thief comes not but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy: I am come that they might have life, and might have [it] abundantly.
11 “Uneji ndili jwakuchinga jwambone. Jwakuchinga jwambone akuutyosya umi wakwe kwa ligongo lya ngondolo syakwe.
I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down 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.
but he who serves for wages, and who is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf seizes them and scatters the sheep.
13 Mundu jo akuutuka pakuŵa ali mundu jwamasengo jwa malipilo ni ngondolo ngaŵa chindu kukwakwe.
Now he who serves for wages flees because he serves for wages, and is not himself concerned about the sheep.
14 Uneji ndili jwakuchinga jwambone. Ngusimanyilila ngondolo syangu ni ngondolo syangu sikuumanyilila une,
I am the good shepherd; and I know those that are mine, and am known of those that are mine,
15 mpela ila Atati yakuti pakuumanyilila, ni uneji inguti pakwamanyilila Atati. Uneji nguutyosya umi wangu kwa ligongo lya ngondolo.
as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down 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 fold: those also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one flock, one shepherd.
17 “Atati akuunonyela une ligongo nguutyosya umi wangu kuti mbochele sooni.
On this account the Father loves me, because I lay down my life 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 from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have authority to lay it down and I have authority to take it again. I have received this commandment of my Father.
19 Kwa ligongo lya maloŵe ga Che Yesu, Ŵayahudi ŵatindene sooni.
There was a division again among the Jews on account of these words;
20 Ŵajinji mwa ŵelewo ŵatite, “Akwete lisoka, ni sooni jwampugwe! Kwachichi nkumpilikanila?”
but many of them said, He has a demon and raves; why do ye hear him?
21 Ŵandu ŵane ŵatite, “Mundu jwakamwilwe ni lisoka ngakukombola kuŵecheta yelei. Ana lisoka likukombola kugaugula meeso ga ŵandu ŵangalola?”
Others said, These sayings are not [those] of one that is possessed by a demon. Can a demon open blind people's eyes?
22 Ku Yelusalemu ko kwaliji ni chindimba chakukumbuchila kujiŵika pajika Nyuumba kwa ligongo lya Ambuje. Ni katema ko kaliji katema ka mbepo.
Now the feast of the dedication was celebrating at Jerusalem, and it was winter.
23 Nombe Che Yesu ŵaliji nkwendajenda pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu pansana pa mwenye Che Selemani.
And Jesus walked in the temple in the porch of Solomon.
24 Nipele Ŵayahudi ŵaasyungwile, ni ŵambusisye, “Ana chintuleche tuli nkuganisya mpaka chakachi? Iŵaga mmwe ndi Kilisito Jwakuwombola, ntusalile uchenene.”
The Jews therefore surrounded him, and said to him, Until when dost thou hold our soul in suspense? If thou art the Christ, say [so] to us openly.
25 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Nansalile, nambo nganimungulupilila. Masengo gingugapanganya kwa ulamusi wa Atati ŵangu gakulosya kuti une ndili jwelejo.
Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye do not believe. The works which I do in my Father's name, these bear witness concerning me:
26 Nambo ŵanyamwe ngankukulupilila pakuŵa ŵanyamwe nganimma ngondolo syangu.
but ye do not believe, for ye are not of my sheep, as I told you.
27 Ngondolo syangu sikupilikana liloŵe lyangu. Uneji ngusimanyilila, nombesyo sikuunguya.
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me;
29 Atati ŵangu juŵambele ngondolo syo ali jwankulu kupunda wose, nombe ngapagwa mundu jwalijose juchakombole kusipokonya mmakono mwa Atati ŵangu.
My Father who has given [them] to me is greater than all, and no one can seize out of the hand of my Father.
30 Uneji ni Atati ŵangu tuli ŵamo.”
I and the Father are one.
31 Nipele Ŵayahudi ŵalokwete sooni maganga kuti ŵaulaje Che Yesu.
The Jews therefore again took stones that they might stone him.
32 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Nannosisye masengo gambone gamajinji gaŵambele Atati ŵangu kuti nagapanganye. Ana masengo chi gambone mwa gelego gankusaka kumulajila?”
Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewn you of my Father; for which work of them do ye stone 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.”
The Jews answered him, For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy, and because thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
34 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ilembekwe Mmalajisyo genu kuti, Akunnungu ŵatite, ‘Ŵanyamwe ndi achiminungu?’
Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
35 Akunnungu ŵaaŵilasile achiminungu aŵala wose ŵaŵasalilwe liloŵe lyao, ni uweji tuimanyi kuti Malembelo ga Akunnungu gakuŵecheta usyene moŵa gose.
If he called them gods to whom the word of God came (and the scripture cannot be broken),
36 Sambano Atati asagwile ni kunduma pachilambo pa. Kwachichi ŵanyamwe kuusalila, ngwatukana Akunnungu, panguti, uneji ndili Mwana jwa Akunnungu.
do ye say of him whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest, because I said, I am Son of God?
37 Iŵaga ngangupanganya masengo gaasachile Atati ŵangu nagapanganye, nkangulupilila une.
If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not;
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 do, even if ye believe not me, believe the works, that ye may know [and believe] that the Father is in me and I in him.
39 Nipele ŵalinjile sooni kwakamula Che Yesu, nambo ŵalikulupwisye ni kutyoka.
They sought therefore again to take him; and he went away from out of their hand
40 Che Yesu ŵajawile sooni pesi lusulo lwa Yolodani, kwiuto kuŵabatisyaga che Yohana ŵandu kula ni kutama kweleko.
and departed again beyond the Jordan to the place where John was baptising at the first: and he abode there.
41 Ŵandu ŵajinji ŵanjaulile ni kuti, “Che Yohana nganaapanganya chimanyisyo chachili chose. Nambo yose yaisasile che Yohana nkati mundu ju ili isyene.”
And many came to him, and said, John did no sign; but all things which John said of this [man] were true.
42 Kweleko ŵandu ŵajinji ŵaakulupilile Che Yesu.
And many believed on him there.
