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 unto you, He that entreth not into the sheep-fold by the door, but climbeth up some other way, is a thief and a robber.
2 Nambo jwakwinjilila pa nnango, jwelejo ali jwakuchinga ngondolo.
But he that cometh 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 openeth, and the sheep hear his voice; and He calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
4 Amalaga kusikoposya paasa akusilongolela, nombe ngondolo syo sikunkuya, pakuŵa sikulimanyilila liloŵe lyakwe.
And when he bringeth forth his sheep, he goeth 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 parable Jesus spake unto them; but they did not understand what He said to them.
7 Nipele Che Yesu ŵaŵechete sooni, “Ngunsalila isyene, uneji ndili nnango wa kwinjilila ngondolo.
Jesus therefore said unto them again, Verily, verily I tell you, that I am the door of the sheep.
8 Ŵane wose ŵaŵanongolele kwika ŵaliji ŵawiyi ni ŵakusumula, nombe ngondolo syo nganisyapilikanila.
All that came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not regard them.
9 Uneji ndili nnango, mundu jwalijose jwakwinjila mu lichinga kwa kwinjilila kukwangu chakulupuswe, chajinjile ni kukopoka, ni kupata yakulya.
I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved; and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
10 Jwawiyi akwika achisakaga kwiŵa ni kuulaga ni kujonanga. Uneji iiche kuti akole umi wa usyene, wangaukupungula.”
The thief cometh only to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they may have life, and may have it in perfection.
11 “Uneji ndili jwakuchinga jwambone. Jwakuchinga jwambone akuutyosya umi wakwe kwa ligongo lya ngondolo syakwe.
I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd layeth 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 the hireling, that is not the true shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf seizeth them, and disperseth the sheep.
13 Mundu jo akuutuka pakuŵa ali mundu jwamasengo jwa malipilo ni ngondolo ngaŵa chindu kukwakwe.
Now the hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
14 Uneji ndili jwakuchinga jwambone. Ngusimanyilila ngondolo syangu ni ngondolo syangu sikuumanyilila une,
I am the good shepherd, and I know my own sheep, and am known by them.
15 mpela ila Atati yakuti pakuumanyilila, ni uneji inguti pakwamanyilila Atati. Uneji nguutyosya umi wangu kwa ligongo lya ngondolo.
Even as the Father knoweth 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: them also I must bring, and they will hear my voice; so there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
17 “Atati akuunonyela une ligongo nguutyosya umi wangu kuti mbochele sooni.
For this doth the Father love 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.”
None taketh it 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 I have received from my Father.
19 Kwa ligongo lya maloŵe ga Che Yesu, Ŵayahudi ŵatindene sooni.
There was a division therefore again among the Jews on account of these words.
20 Ŵajinji mwa ŵelewo ŵatite, “Akwete lisoka, ni sooni jwampugwe! Kwachichi nkumpilikanila?”
And many of them said, He is a demoniac, and is mad; 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 are not the words of a demoniac; can a demon open the eyes of the blind?
22 Ku Yelusalemu ko kwaliji ni chindimba chakukumbuchila kujiŵika pajika Nyuumba kwa ligongo lya Ambuje. Ni katema ko kaliji katema ka mbepo.
Now it was the feast of dedication at Jerusalem, and it was winter.
23 Nombe Che Yesu ŵaliji nkwendajenda pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu pansana pa mwenye Che Selemani.
And Jesus was walking about the temple, in Solomon's portico.
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, and said unto Him, How long dost thou hold us in suspense? If thou be the Messiah, tell us plainly.
25 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Nansalile, nambo nganimungulupilila. Masengo gingugapanganya kwa ulamusi wa Atati ŵangu gakulosya kuti une ndili jwelejo.
Jesus answered them, I have told you, and ye do not believe me: though the works that I do in the name of my Father, testify of me.
26 Nambo ŵanyamwe ngankukulupilila pakuŵa ŵanyamwe nganimma ngondolo syangu.
But ye believe not; because ye are not of my sheep: for as I said unto you, my sheep hear my voice,
27 Ngondolo syangu sikupilikana liloŵe lyangu. Uneji ngusimanyilila, nombesyo sikuunguya.
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 gave them to me, is greater than all: and therefore none is able to force them out of my Father's hand.
30 Uneji ni Atati ŵangu tuli ŵamo.”
I and the Father are one. Then the Jews again took up stones to stone Him.
31 Nipele Ŵayahudi ŵalokwete sooni maganga kuti ŵaulaje Che Yesu.
But Jesus said unto them,
32 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Nannosisye masengo gambone gamajinji gaŵambele Atati ŵangu kuti nagapanganye. Ana masengo chi gambone mwa gelego gankusaka kumulajila?”
Many good works have I shewn you from my Father; for which of those works 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, saying, We do not go about to stone thee for a good work, 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 replied, Is it not written in your law, "I have said, ye are gods?"
35 Akunnungu ŵaaŵilasile achiminungu aŵala wose ŵaŵasalilwe liloŵe lyao, ni uweji tuimanyi kuti Malembelo ga Akunnungu gakuŵecheta usyene moŵa gose.
And if it stiled them gods, to whom the word of God came, (and the scripture cannot be made void, )
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 hath sanctified, and sent into the world, thou blasphemest, because I said, I am the 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, though 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.
Therefore they sought again to seize Him; but He escaped out of their hand, and went away again beyond Jordan,
40 Che Yesu ŵajawile sooni pesi lusulo lwa Yolodani, kwiuto kuŵabatisyaga che Yohana ŵandu kula ni kutama kweleko.
to the place where John was at first baptizing, and there He abode.
41 Ŵandu ŵajinji ŵanjaulile ni kuti, “Che Yohana nganaapanganya chimanyisyo chachili chose. Nambo yose yaisasile che Yohana nkati mundu ju ili isyene.”
And many resorted to Him, and said, John wrought no miracle, but all that he said concerning this man, was true.
42 Kweleko ŵandu ŵajinji ŵaakulupilile Che Yesu.
And many there believed on Him.
