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.
Panyuma pakendi Yesu walambeti, “Ndamwambilinga cakubinga, muntu labulunga kwingilila pacishinga cambelele nikabwalala kayi nikapondo.
2 But one who enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
Nsombi muntu lengililinga pacishinga endiye mwembeshi wa mbelele.
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.
Mulonda ukute kumucalwila. Mbelele shikute kunyumfwa maswi akendi, kayi ukute kushikuwa maina mbelele shakendi, nekushipulisha.
4 Whenever he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
Ashipulisha ukute kushitangunina, nashoyo shikute kumukonkela, pakwinga shikute kwinshiba maswi akendi.
5 They will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him; for they do not know the voice of strangers.”
Mwensu nkashela kumukonkela sobwe, pakwinga nkashainshi maswi a mwensu. Neco shikute kumufwamba.”
6 Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they did not understand what he was telling them.
Yesu walabambila mukoshano uyu, nsombi nabo baliyakunyumfwishisha ncalikubambila.
7 Jesus therefore said to them again, “Most certainly, I tell you, I am the sheep’s door.
Ecebo cakendi kayi Yesu ncalabambilileti, “Ndamwambilinga cakubinga, ame njame cishinga cambelele.
8 All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.
Bonse balesa kantanjisa nibakabwalala kayi nibakapondo, neco mbelele shiliya kubanyumfwila.
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.
Njame cishinga, bonse balengilinga kupitila mulinjame nibakapuluke. Kupitila mulinjame nibakengilenga ne kupula nekucana cakulya.
10 The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.
Nsombi nendi kabwalala ukute kwishila kwiba, kushina ne kononga. Nomba ame nkandipo ico, ndalesa kupa bantu buyumi, kayi bwakwaninina.”
11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
Ame njame mwembeshi waina. Mwembeshi waina ukute kutaya buyumi bwakendi pacebo cambelele shakendi.
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.
Nomba mwembeshi wakwingisha ncito yakwembela mbelele nte mwembeshi waina pakwinga nte mwine neco abona kaumpe ukute kushishiya nekufwamba, nomba nako kaumpe kakute kwikatapo nashimbi kayi shilashala shikute kupalangana.
13 The hired hand flees because he is a hired hand and does not care for the sheep.
Usa shikulembwa incito ukute kufwamba, pakwinga ntemwinesho, neco nkakute kusukama.
14 I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and I am known by my own;
Ame njame mwembeshi waina. Mbelele shakame ndishinshi, kayi nashoyo shinjishi.
15 even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.
mbuli bata ncobanjishi, nenjame ndibenshi, ndalibambila kutaya buyumi bwakame pacebo cambelele shakame.
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.
Kayi nkute nashimbi mbelele shabula kuba shamucata ici. Nashoyo nishikanyumfwe maswi akame, ninkashilete pamo, nishikabe mulitanga limo kayi ne mwembeshi umo.
17 Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
“Bata bansuni, pakwinga ndalibambila kuyaba buyumi bwakame kwambeti nkabe nabo kayi.
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.”
Kuliya muntu wela kundamuna buyumi bwakame, ndabuyabanga mukuyanda kwakame. Nkute ngofu shakutaya buyumi bwakame, kayi ne ngofu shakubumanta. uwu emulawo ngobalampa Bata.”
19 Therefore a division arose again among the Jews because of these words.
Bantu balatatika kupansana pacebo ca maswi awa.
20 Many of them said, “He has a demon and is insane! Why do you listen to him?”
Bangi pakati pabo balikwambeti, “Ukute mushimu waipa, kayi wakonya. Nicani mulamunyumfwilinga?”
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?”
Nomba bambi balikwambeti, “Maswi awa ntewo amuntu wekatwa ne mushimu waipa. Sena mushimu waipa ngaumubonesha washipilwa kwambeti abone?”
22 It was the Feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem.
Lino calikuba cindi camupewo pakusekekelela kupwa kwa kwibaka Ng'anda ya Lesa ku Yelusalemu.
23 It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon’s porch.
Lino Yesu walinkenda mumukushi wa Nga'nda ya Lesa, walikukwiweti mukushi waSolomoni.
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.”
Lino bamakulene baYuda balamubunganina nekumwipusheti, “Nomba nukatuyubwilile lilyoni nanjobe Mupulushi Walaiwa? Twambile.”
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.
Yesu walambeti, “Ndalamwambila kendi, nsombi nkamulashomonga. Mulimo ngonkute kwinsa mulina lya Bata, eukute kunjishila bukamboni.
26 But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep, as I told you.
Nomba amwe nkamulashomonga, pakwinga nkamulipo mulikoto lyambelele shakame.
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
Mbelele shakame shikute kunyumfwa maswi akame. Ame ndishinshi, kayi shikute kunkonkela.
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.
Bata balampa mbelele isho banene kupita bonse, neco paliya muntu wela kubalamuna mumakasa abo.
30 I and the Father are one.”
Ame neBata tobamo muntu umowa.”
31 Therefore the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
Lino bamakulene baBayuda balabwesa mabwe kwambeti bamupwaye.
32 Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?”
Yesu walabambileti, “Ndamuboneshe mulimo waina walafumina kuli Bata. Nomba nipa ncito shipeyo nshomulayandanga kumpwaila mabwe?”
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.”
Bamakulene ba Baciyuda balamukumbuleti, “Nkatulayandanga kukupwaya mabwe pacebo ca mulimo waina sobwe, nsombi pacebo cakwambeti ulanyanshanga Lesa. Obe omuntu, ulalyelanikinga neLesa.”
34 Jesus answered them, “Is not it written in your law, ‘I said, you are gods’?
Yesu walabakumbuleti, “Sena mu Milawo yenu nkamwalembweti, ‘Ame ndambeti mobalesa?
35 If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken),
Tucinsheti Mabala a Lesa nkela kupwaiwa. Kayi nakubinga, naLesa walikubakuwa, balapewa maswi wakendi eti balesa.”
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’?
“Ngamwabaconi uyo Lesa ngwalaswepesha nekumutuma pacishi capanshi, amwe mulamwambilingeti lanyanshanga Lesa, sena nipacebo cakwambeti njame Mwana wa Lesa?
37 If I do not do the works of my Father, do not believe me.
Nomba na nkandenshinga mulimo ngobalampa Bata, kamutanshoma.
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.”
Nsombi na emulimo ngondenshinga, kamushomani mulimo nambi nkamulanshomonga kwambeti mukonshe kwinshiba nekunyumfwishisha kwambeti ame nkute kwikala muli Bata, nabo Bata bakute kwikala muli njame.”
39 They sought again to seize him, and he went out of their hand.
Popelapo bantu basa balayanda kayi kumwikata, nsombi neye walapushumuka.
40 He went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was baptizing at first, and he stayed there.
Yesu walabwelela kayi kutala kwa mulonga wa Yolodani uko Yohane nkwalikubatishila bantu pakuyamba, lino walekala kopeloko.
41 Many came to him. They said, “John indeed did no sign, but everything that John said about this man is true.”
Bantu bangi balesa kulyendiye, nkabambeti, “Yohane liya kwinsapo byeshikukankamanisha sobwe, nsombi byonse mbyalikwamba pamuntu uyu byalikuba byakubinga.”
42 Many believed in him there.
Kopeloko bantu bangi balashoma Yesu.
