< John 10 >

1 “Most certainly, I tell you, one who does not enter by the door into the sheep fold, but climbs up some other way, is a thief and a robber.
我實實在在告訴你們:凡不由門進入羊棧,而由別處爬進去的,便是賊,便是強盜。
2 But one who enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
由門進去的,才是羊的牧人。
3 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.
看門的給他開門,羊聽他的聲音;他按著名字呼喚自己的羊,並引領出來。
4 Whenever he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
當他把羊放出來以後,就走在羊前面,羊也跟隨他,因為認得他的聲音。
5 They will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him; for they do not know the voice of strangers.”
羊決不跟隨陌生人,反而逃避他,因為羊不認得陌生人的聲音。」
6 Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they did not understand what he was telling them.
耶穌給他們講了這個比喻,他們卻不明白給他們所講的是什麼。
7 Jesus therefore said to them again, “Most certainly, I tell you, I am the sheep’s door.
於是耶穌又對他們說: 「我實實在在告訴你們: 我是羊的門;
8 All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.
凡在我以先來的,都是賊和強盜,沒有聽從他們。
9 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.
我就是門,誰若經過我進來,必可得安全;可以進,可以出,可以找到草場。
10 The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.
賊來,無非是為偷竊、殺害、毀滅; 我來,卻是為叫他們獲得生命,且獲得更豐富的生命。
11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
我是善牧: 善牧為羊捨掉自己的性命。
12 He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming, leaves the sheep, and flees. The wolf snatches the sheep and scatters them.
傭工,因不是牧人,羊也不是他自己的,一看見狼來,便棄羊逃跑──狼就抓住羊,把羊趕散了,
13 The hired hand flees because he is a hired hand and does not care for the sheep.
因為他是傭工,對羊漠不關心。
14 I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and I am known by my own;
我是善牧,我認識我的羊,我的羊也認識我,
15 even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.
正如父認識我,我也認識父一樣;我並且為羊捨掉我的性命。
16 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.
我還有別的羊,不屬於這一棧,我也該把他們引來,他們要聽我的聲音,這樣,將只有一個羊群,一個牧人。
17 Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
父愛我,因為我捨掉我的性命,為再取回它來:
18 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.”
誰也不能痔去我的性命,而我是甘心情願捨掉它;我有權捨掉它,我也有權再取回它來:這是我由我父接受的命令。」
19 Therefore a division arose again among the Jews because of these words.
因了這些話,猶太人中間又發生了紛爭;
20 Many of them said, “He has a demon and is insane! Why do you listen to him?”
他們中有許人說: 「他附魔發瘋,為什麼還聽他呢?」
21 Others said, “These are not the sayings of one possessed by a demon. It is not possible for a demon to open the eyes of the blind, is it?”
另有些人說: 「這話不是附魔的人所能說的;難道魔鬼能開瞎子的眼睛麼?」
22 It was the Feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem.
那時,在耶路撒冷舉行重建節,正是冬天。
23 It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon’s porch.
耶穌徘徊於聖殿撒羅滿遊廊下。
24 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.”
猶太人圍起他來,向他說:「你使我們的心神懸疑不定,要到幾時呢?你如果是默西亞,就坦白告訴我們罷!」
25 Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name, these testify about me.
耶穌答覆說: 「我已經告訴了你們,你們卻不相信;我以我父的名所作的工作,為我作證,
26 But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep, as I told you.
但你們還是不信,因為你們不是屬於我的羊。
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
我的羊聽我的聲音,我也認識他們,他們也跟隨我;
28 I give consummate (aiōnios g166) life to them. They will never perish in this age (aiōn g165), and no one will snatch them out of my hand.
我賜與他們永生,他們永遠不會喪亡;誰也不能從我手中把他們奪去。 (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
29 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.
那賜給我羊群的父,超越一切,為此,誰也不能從我父手裏將他們奪去。
30 I and the Father are one.”
我與父原是一體。」
31 Therefore the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
猶太人又拿起石頭來,要砸死他。
32 Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?”
耶穌向他們說: 「我賴我父給你們顯示了許多善事,為了那一件,你們要砸死我呢?」
33 The Jews answered him, “We do not stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God.”
猶太人回答說:「為了善事,我們不會砸死你;而是為了褻瀆話,為你是人,卻把你自己當作是天主。」
34 Jesus answered them, “Is not it written in your law, ‘I said, you are gods’?
耶穌卻向他們說: 「在你們的法律上不是記載著:『我說過: 你們是神麼』?
35 If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken),
如果,那些承受天主的話,天主尚且稱他們為神──而經書是不能廢棄的──
36 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’?
那麼,父所祝聖並派遣到世界上來的,因為說過: 我是天主子,你們就說: 你說褻瀆的話麼?
37 If I do not do the works of my Father, do not believe me.
假使我不做我父的工作,你們就不必信我;
38 But if I do them, though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.”
但若是我做了,你們縱然不肯信我,至少要信這些工作,如此你們必定認出父在我內,我在父內。」
39 They sought again to seize him, and he went out of their hand.
他們又企圖捉拿他,他卻從他們手中走脫了。
40 He went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was baptizing at first, and he stayed there.
耶穌又到約旦河對岸,若翰先前施洗的地方去了,並住在那裏。
41 Many came to him. They said, “John indeed did no sign, but everything that John said about this man is true.”
有許多人到他那裏說:「若翰固然沒有行過神跡,但若翰關於這人所說的一切,都是真的。」
42 Many believed in him there.
許多人就在那裏信了耶穌。
