John 10
1 Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter in by the door into the fold of the sheep, but goes up some other way, that man is a thief and a robber.
“Le fa e le mang yo o ganang go tsena ka kgoro mo lesakeng la dinku, yo o tlolelang ka lokotswana, o tshwanetse tota a be a le legodu.
2 But he who enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
Gonne modisa o tsena ka kgoro.
3 The gatekeeper opens to this man. And the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out.
Motlhokomedi wa kgoro o a e mmulela, mme dinku di utlwa lentswe la gagwe jalo di tle kwa go ene; mme a bitse dinku tsa gagwe ka maina a di etelele pele di ya kwa ntle.
4 And when he puts forth his own sheep, he goes before them. And the sheep follow him because they know his voice.
O tsamaya kwa pele ga tsone; mme di mo sale morago, gonne di tlhaloganya lentswe la gagwe.
5 And they will, no, not follow a stranger, but will flee from him, because they do not recognize the voice of strangers.
Ga di kitla di sala moeng morago, mme di tlaa mo phatlalalela, gonne ga di itse lentswe la gagwe.”
6 Jesus spoke this allegory to them, but those men did not understand what it was that he spoke to them.
Ba ba neng ba utlwa Jesu a dirisa setshwantsho se ba ne ba seka ba tlhaloganya se a se rayang.
7 Jesus therefore said to them again, Truly, truly, I say to you, that I am the door of the sheep.
Mme a se ba tlhalosetsa a re, “Ke nna Kgoro ya dinku.
8 All, as many as came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.
Botlhe ba bangwe ba ba tsileng pele ga me e ne e le magodu le dinokwane. Mme dinku tsa boammaaruri ga di ise di ke di ba reetse.
9 I am the door. If any man enters in by me, he will be saved, and will come in and go out, and will find pasture.
Ee, ke nna Kgoro. Ba ba tsenang ka Kgoro ba tlaa bolokwa mme ba tlaa tsena ba bo ba tswa mme ba tlaa bona mafulo a matalana.
10 The thief comes not, except that he might steal and kill and destroy. I came so that they might have life, and have it more abundantly.
Maikaelelo a legodu ke go utswa, le go bolaya le go senya. Mme nna maikaelelo a me ke go aba botshelo jo bo sa khutleng ka letlotlo.
11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
“Ke Modisa yo o Molemo. Modisa yo o molemo o ntshetsa dinku botshelo jwa gagwe.
12 But the hired man, and not being the shepherd, whose sheep are not his own, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees. And the wolf catches them, and scatters the sheep.
Motho yo o thapilweng o tlaa sia a tlogela dinku fa a bona phiri e tla, gonne ga se tsa gagwe ebile ga se modisa wa tsone. Mme jalo phiri e di tlolele e phatlalatse letsomane.
13 But the hireling flees because he is a hireling, and it is no care to him about the sheep.
Motho yo o thapilweng o sia ka ntlha ya gore o thapilwe, le ka ntlha ya gore ga a kgathalele dinku thata.
14 I am the good shepherd, and I know mine, and I am known by mine.
“Ke Modisa yo o Molemo ebile ke itse dinku tsa me, le tsone di a nkitse.
15 Just as the Father knows me, I also know the Father, and I lay down my life for the sheep.
Fela jaaka Rara a nkitse le nna ke itse Rara; jalo ke ntshetsa dinku botshelo jwa me.
16 And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring those also, and they will hear my voice. And there will become one flock, one shepherd.
Ke na le dinku tse dingwe mo lesakeng le lengwe. Le tsone ke tshwanetse go di lere, mme di tlaa utlwa lentswe la me; jalo go tlaa nna letsomane le le lengwe ka fa tlase ga tlhokomelo ya Modisa a le mongwe fela.
17 Because of this the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, so that I may take it again.
“Rara o a nthata gonne ke ntsha botshelo jwa me setlhabelo gore ke tle ke nne le jone gape.
18 No man takes it 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.
Ga go na ope yo o ka mpolayang kwa ntle ga go rata ga me. Ke ntsha botshelo jwa me setlhabelo ka bonna. Gonne ke na le tshwanelo le nonofo ya go bo ntsha setlhabelo fa ke batla le tshwanelo le nonofo ya go bo tsaya gape. Gonne Rara o nneile tshwanelo e.”
19 Therefore again there became a division among the Jews because of these words.
Erile fa a bua jaana, baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba kgaogana mo megopolong gape ka ga gagwe.
20 And many of them said, He has a demon, and is mad. Why do ye listen to him?
Bangwe ba bone ba re, “O na le mowa o o maswe eseng jalo o a tsenwa. Ke eng re reetsa motho yo o ntseng jalo?”
21 Others said, These are not the sayings of a man possessed with a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?
Ba bangwe ba re, “Mo go rona golo mo ga go utlwale go buiwa ke motho yo o tsenweng ke mowa o o maswe! A mowa o o maswe o ka foufolola matlho a difofu?”
22 And the feast of the dedication happened at Jerusalem, and it was winter.
Go ne go le mariga, fa Jesu a le mo Jerusalema ka lebaka lwa Moletlo wa Boshafatso. O ne a le kwa Tempeleng, a raletse golo fa go bidiwang Mathudi a ga Solomone.
23 And Jesus was walking in the temple in Solomon's porch.
24 The Jews therefore surrounded him, and said to him, When do thou lift up our soul? If thou are the Christ, tell us plainly.
Baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba mo dikgaganyetsa mme ba mmotsa ba re, “O tlaa re baya mo lefifing la bosena-kitso fitlhelela leng? Fa e le gore o Mesia re bolelele sentle.”
25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye did not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name, these testify about me.
Mme Jesu a ba raya are, “Ke setse ke lo bole-letse, mme ga lo ntumele. Sesupo ke dikgakgamatso tse ke di dirang ka leina la ga Rara.
26 But ye do not believe, for ye are not of my sheep, as I said to you.
Mme ga lo ntumele gonne ga lo ba letsomane la me.
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
Dinku tsa me di itse lentswe la me, le nna ke a di itse, mme dintshala morago.
29 My Father who has given to me, is greater than all, and not one is able to snatch out of my Father's hand.
gonne Rara o di nneile, mme o nonofile go feta mongwe le mongwe, jalo he ga go na ope yo o ka di utswang mo go nna.
30 I and the Father are one.
Nna le Rara re selo se le sengwe.”
31 Therefore again the Jews took up stones so that they might stone him.
Mme gape baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba sela matlapa go mmolaya.
32 Jesus answered them, I have shown you many good works from my Father. Because of them, which work do ye stone me?
Jesu a ba raya a re, “E fa kaelong ya Modimo ke dirile dikgakgamatso di le dintsi go thusa batho. Lo mpolaela kgakgamatso efe?”
33 The Jews answered him, saying, We stone thee not about a good work, but about blasphemy, and because thou, being a man, make thyself God.
Mme ba mo fetola ba re, “Ga re go balaele tiro epe e e siameng, re go bolaela tlhapatso; wena, mothonyana ke wena yo o seng wa sepe o ipiditse gore o Modimo.”
34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, ye are gods?
Mme a fetola a re, “Mo molaong wa lona gatwe batho ke medimo Jalo he, fa lokwalo, lo lo sa ka keng lwa bua maaka, lo bua ka gore medimo ke batho ba molaetsa wa Modimo o tsileng mo go bone, a lo go bitsa tlhapatso fa yo ene a itshepisitsweng a bile a romilwe mo lefatsheng ke Rara a re, ‘Ke Morwa Modimo?’
35 If he designated those men gods, for whom the word of God came to be (and the scripture cannot be broken),
36 whom the Father made holy and sent into the world, do ye say, Thou blaspheme, because I said, I am the Son of God?
37 If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not believe me.
Se ntumeleng, fa e se fela ke dira dikgakgamatso tsa Modimo.
38 But if I am doing them, even though ye do not believe me, believe the works, that ye may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in him.
Mme fa ke di dira, di dumeleng lefa lo sa ntumele. Hong lo tlaa dumela tota gore Rara omo go nna, le gore ke mo go Rara.”
39 Therefore they sought again to take him, and he went forth out of their hand.
Gape ba leka go mo tshwara. Mme a tsamaya a ba tlogela…
40 And he departed again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was first immersing, and he stayed there.
Mme a tlhatlogela kwa moseja ga Noka ya Jorodane go nna gaufile lefelo le Johane a neng a kolobeletsa mo go lone lwa ntlha.
41 And many came to him, and they said, John indeed did not one sign, but all, as many things as John spoke about this man, were true.
Mme ba le bantsi ba mo sala morago. Mme ba le bantsi ba mo sala morago. Mme ba dumaduma ba re, “Johane ga a ise a ke a dire dikgakgamatso, mme dipolelelopele tsa gagwe tsotlhe kaga monna yo di diragetse,”
42 And many believed in him there.
Hong ba le bantsi ba dumela gore ke Mesia.
