John 10
1 “Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever does not enter the sheepfold by the gate, but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber.
Jesuh naw“Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki: to ngvawng mkawt üng käh lut lü, akce üngka naw kai lü lutki cun mpyukeiea ja tome manei hlükiea kyaki.
2 But the one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.
“Mkawt üng lutkia khyang cun toksäma kyaki.
3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen for his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
“Mkawt mtät naw ani cun mkawt nghmawn pet se, toe naw a kthai ksing khawikie; amäta toe ami ngming phähphäh am jah khü lü kpunga jah ceh püi khawiki.
4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.
“Kpunga a jah khü üng, ami hmaia cit lü lam jah msüm se ani cun läk khawikie. Isetiakyaküng, a kthai cun a toe naw ksingki he.
5 But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will flee from him because they do not recognize his voice.”
“Acunsepi, khyang kce cun a kthai am ami ksinga kyase, am läk u, dawngin ta khaie” a ti.
6 Jesus spoke to them using this illustration, but they did not understand what He was telling them.
Ahina msuimcäpnak Jesuh naw jah mtheh se, i a ti hlü hman am ksing u.
7 So He said to them again, “Truly, truly, I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep.
Acunüng, Jesuh naw, “Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki: kei cun toe phäh mkawta ka kyaki.
8 All who came before Me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.
Keia hmaia law maki naküt cun mpyukei ja tome manei hlükiea kyaki he, to naw pi a kthai am jah ngja.
9 I am the gate. If anyone enters through Me, he will be saved. He will come in and go out and find pasture.
“Kei mkawta ka kyaki. Kei üngkhyüh lutki naküt naw küikyanak yah khai; a k’uma lut lü, akpunga lut law lü, a ei vai hmu khai.
10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come that they may have life, and have it in all its fullness.
“Mpyukei cun mpyu khai, hnim khai ja kpye khaia va law khawiki. Kei cun xünnak ami yahnak vai däka am kya lü kümkawikia xünnak ami yah vaia phäha ka lawki ni.
11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.
“Kei toksäm kdawa ka kyaki; toksäm kdaw naw toea phäha a sak tawn khawhki.
12 The hired hand is not the shepherd, and the sheep are not his own. When he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf pounces on them and scatters the flock.
“Toksäm am niki, ami ngvaha toksäm naw mhnge law se a hmuh üng toe jah hawih lü jah dawng ta se, mhnge naw toe jah hutei lü jah kpyang khawiki.
13 The man runs away because he is a hired servant and is unconcerned for the sheep.
“Ami ngvaha toksäm cun ngvaha kyase, toe am jah cäi na lü jah dawng taki.
14 I am the good shepherd. I know My sheep and My sheep know Me,
“Kei cun dawkia toksäm ni. Pa naw na ksing se kei naw pi Pa ka ksinga mäiha, ka toe ka jah ksingki. Ka toe naw pi na ksingki he. “Ami phäha ta ka thih khawhki.
15 just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father. And I lay down My life for the sheep.
16 I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them in as well, and they will listen to My voice. Then there will be one flock and one shepherd.
“Ahina to ngvawnga k'uma am veki toe pi ka jah ta hamki. Acun he pi ka jah lawpüi khai. Acun he naw pi ka kthai ngai u se, to pä mat, toksäm mat däka kya law khai.
17 The reason the Father loves Me is that I lay down My life in order to take it up again.
“Kei naw ka sak tawn lü, xünnak ka yah be khaia kyase, Pa naw na mhläkphyanaki.
18 No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of My own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from My Father.”
“U naw ka sak am lak thei. Kamäta hlüeia ka sak ka pet ni. Ka sak cun pe lü, ka loei be khawhnaka khyaibahnak ka taki. Ahina ngthupet hin ka Paa veia ka yaha kyaki,” a ti.
19 Again there was division among the Jews because of Jesus’ message.
Acuna ngthua phäha Judahea ksunga ngtainak ve lawki.
20 Many of them said, “He is demon-possessed and insane. Why would you listen to Him?”
Aknung bawk naw, “Ani üng khawyai umki ni, yawki ni; ise a ngthu nami ngaiki ni?” ami ti.
21 But others replied, “These are not the words of a man possessed by a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”
Avang naw, “Khawyaia venak naw ahin he am jah pyen thei. Khawyai naw ihawkba amikmüe jah vaisak be khawh khai ni? ami ti.
22 At that time the Feast of Dedication took place in Jerusalem. It was winter,
Khawksik khya üng Jerusalem mlüh Temple Kainaka Pawi veki.
23 and Jesus was walking in the temple courts in Solomon’s Colonnade.
Jesuh cun Temple k'um, Solamon Luhnak üng ve hlü se,
24 So the Jews gathered around Him and demanded, “How long will You keep us in suspense? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly.”
Judahe naw a peia ngbäm law u lü, “Am ngsingngkyaikia i vei na ve ham khai ni? Mesijah na kyak üng angsinga jah mtheha,” ti lü kthähkie.
25 “I already told you,” Jesus replied, “but you did not believe. The works I do in My Father’s name testify on My behalf.
Jesuh naw, “Ka ning jah mtheh päng ni, am nami jumki; ka Paa ngming am khut ka pawhe cun ka saksie ni.
26 But because you are not My sheep, you refuse to believe.
“Acunsepi, ka toea am nami nia phäh, am na jum uki.”
27 My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me.
“Ka toe naw ka kthai ksing khawikie, kei naw jah ksing ngü se, na läk law khawikie.
29 My Father who has given them to Me is greater than all. No one can snatch them out of My Father’s hand.
“Amimi na jah pekia ka Pa cun anaküta kthaka hlüngtai bawki; u naw pi Paa kut üngka am loei thei.
30 I and the Father are one.”
“Kei ja ka Pa cun mata kani kyaki,” a ti.
31 At this, the Jews again picked up stones to stone Him.
Judahe naw ami khawngnak vaia lung loei betükie.
32 But Jesus responded, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone Me?”
Cunsepi Jesuh naw jah msang lü, “Nami hmuha Pa naw a na pet khut akdaw khawhah ka pawhki ni, ia phäha lung am nami na khawng hlüki ni?” a ti.
33 “We are not stoning You for any good work,” said the Jews, “but for blasphemy, because You, who are a man, declare Yourself to be God.”
Judahe naw, “Khut akdaw na pawha phäha lung am kami ning khawng hlüki am ni. Pa na pyenkse ja, nang nghngicim khyanga kya kphei lü Mhnama na ngsuieia phäh ni,” ti lü, ami msang.
34 Jesus replied, “Is it not written in your Law: ‘I have said you are gods’?
Jesuh naw, “Namimäta Thum üng, ‘Nangmi cun mhnamea nami kyaki ka ti’ ti lü am ng’yuk mä?
35 If he called them gods to whom the word of God came—and the Scripture cannot be broken—
“Cangcima pyen naküt cun anghläia cangki ti mi ksingki. Pamhnam naw mhnamea a jah suia khyange üng a ngthu jah peki.
36 then what about the One whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world? How then can you accuse Me of blasphemy for stating that I am the Son of God?
“Pa naw mcawn lü khawmdek khana a na tüih law kei naw, ‘Kei Mhnama Capa ka tia phäha, ‘Mhnam na pyenkseki’ nami na tinaki aw?
37 If I am not doing the works of My Father, then do not believe Me.
“Ka Paa ngjak hlü am ka pawh üng, käh na jum kawm uki.
38 But if I am doing them, even though you do not believe Me, believe the works themselves, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I am in the Father.”
“Acunsepi, ka Pa a khut ka pawh üng ta, kei am nami na jum üng pi, Pa kei üng a ve ja Pa üng kei ka vea mawng ahun nami ksing hin anglät cäng khaia, ka pawhmsahea hleng ta nami jum vai sü” ti lü, a jah msang.
39 At this, they tried again to seize Him, but He escaped their grasp.
Jesuh man khaiea ami bü be kyaw, acunsepi, ami kut üngka naw lätei betüki.
40 Then Jesus went back across the Jordan to the place where John had first been baptizing, and He stayed there.
Jordan Mliktuia caye, Johan naw akcüka Baptican a jah petnak da cit lü acuia veki.
41 Many came to Him and said, “Although John never performed a sign, everything he said about this man was true.”
Khyang khawkän a veia law u lü, “Johan naw müncankse i am pawh; acunsepi Johan naw hina mawng a pyen naküt cang ve” tikie.
42 And many in that place believed in Jesus.
Acunüng, acuia khyang khawkän naw Jesuh jumkie.
