< 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.
“साँचो, साँचो म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, जो भेडाको खोरको ढोकाबाट प्रवेश गर्दैन, तर अरू नै मार्गहरूबाट चढ्छ, त्यो मानिस चोर र डाँकु हो ।
2 But the one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.
ढोकाबाट प्रवेश गर्ने नै भेडाको गोठालो हो ।
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.
ढोकाको पालेले उसको निम्ति ढोका खोलिदिन्छ । भेडाहरूले उसको सोर सुन्छन् र उसले आफ्ना भेडाहरूलाई नाउँ काढेर बोलाउँछन् र बाहिर लान्छन् ।
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.
उसले आफ्ना सबै भेडाहरूलाई बाहिर निकालेपछि, ऊ तिनीहरूको अगिअगि जान्छ र भेडाहरूले उसलाई पछ्याउँछ्न्, किनकि तिनीहरूले उसको सोर चिन्‍छन् ।”
5 But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will flee from him because they do not recognize his voice.”
तिनीहरूले अपरिचित मानिसलाई पछ्याउनेछैनन्, बरु तिनीहरू त्योदेखि टाढिनेछन्, किनकि तिनीहरूले अपरिचितको सोर चिन्दैनन् ।”
6 Jesus spoke to them using this illustration, but they did not understand what He was telling them.
येशूले यो दृष्‍टान्त उनीहरूलाई सुनाउनुभयो, तर उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई बताइरहनुभएका कुराहरू के थिए भनी तिनीहरूले बुझेनन् ।
7 So He said to them again, “Truly, truly, I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep.
त्यसपछि येशूले तिनीहरूलाई फेरि भन्‍नुभयो, “साँचो, साँचो म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, म नै भेडाहरूको ढोका हुँ ।”
8 All who came before Me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.
मभन्दा अगि आउनेहरू सबै चोर र डाँकु हुन्, तर भेडाहरूले तिनीहरूका कुरा सुनेनन् ।
9 I am the gate. If anyone enters through Me, he will be saved. He will come in and go out and find pasture.
म ढोका हुँ । यदि कोही मद्वारा भएर भित्र पस्छ भने, त्यो बचाइनेछ; त्यो भित्र र बाहिर जानेछ र त्यसले चर्ने मैदान भेट्टाउनेछ ।
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.
यदि चोरले नचोर्ने, नमार्ने र नष्‍ट नगर्ने भए, त्यो आउँदैन नै । म आएको छु, ताकि तिनीहरूले जीवन पाऊन् र यो प्रशस्त मात्रामा पाऊन् ।
11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.
म असल गोठालो हुँ । असल गोठालोले आफ्ना भेडाहरूका लागि आफ्नो ज्यान पनि दिन्छ ।
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.
भाडामा लिएको नोकर गोठालो हुँदैन, र त्यसका भेडाहरू हुँदैनन् । त्यसले ब्वाँसाहरू आउँदै गरेको देख्छ, अनि भेडाहरूलाई छोड्छ, र भाग्छ । अनि ब्‍वाँसाहरूले तिनीहरूलाई पक्रन्छन् र तिनीलाई तितर बितर पार्छन् ।
13 The man runs away because he is a hired servant and is unconcerned for the sheep.
त्यो भाडामा लिएको हुनाले भाग्छ र त्यसले भेडाहरूको हेरचाह गर्दैन ।
14 I am the good shepherd. I know My sheep and My sheep know Me,
म असल गोठालो हुँ र मैले मेरा आफ्नालाई चिन्छु र मेरा आफ्नाले मलाई चिन्छ्न् ।
15 just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father. And I lay down My life for the sheep.
पिताले मलाई चिन्‍नुहुन्छ र म पितालाई चिन्छु र मेरा भेडाहरूका लागि म मेरो ज्यान पनि दिन्छु ।
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.
मेरा अरू भेडाहरू छन् जो यो भेडाको खोरका होइनन् । मैले तिनीहरूलाई पनि ल्याउनुपर्छ र तिनीहरूले मेरो सोर सुन्‍नेछन्, ताकि त्यहाँ एउटै बगाल र एउटै गोठालो हुन सकोस् ।
17 The reason the Father loves Me is that I lay down My life in order to take it up again.
त्यसैकारण, पिताले मलाई प्रेम गर्नुहुन्छः म मेरो ज्यान पनि दिन्छु, ताकि मैले यसलाई फेरि लिन सकूँ ।
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.”
यो मबाट कसैले खोसेर लान सक्दैन, तर यो म आफैँ अर्पण गर्छु । यसलाई अर्पण गर्ने अधिकार मसँग छ, र यसलाई फेरि लिने अधिकार मसँग छ । यो आज्ञा मैले मेरा पिताबाट पाएको छु ।”
19 Again there was division among the Jews because of Jesus’ message.
यी वचनहरूको कारण फेरि यहूदीहरू माझ विभाजन देखियो ।
20 Many of them said, “He is demon-possessed and insane. Why would you listen to Him?”
तिनीहरूमध्ये धेरैले भने, “यसलाई भूत लागेको छ र यो पागल हो । तिमीहरू उसको कुरा किन सुन्छौ?”
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?”
अरूहरूले भने, “यी वचनहरू भूत लागेका व्यक्‍तिका होइनन् । के भूतले कसैका आँखा खोलिदिन सक्छ र?”
22 At that time the Feast of Dedication took place in Jerusalem. It was winter,
त्यसपछि यरूशलेममा समर्पणको चाडको समय थियो ।
23 and Jesus was walking in the temple courts in Solomon’s Colonnade.
यो हिउँदको समय थियो र येशू मन्दिरमा सोलोमनको दलानमा हिँडिरहनुभएको थियो ।
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.”
तब यहूदीहरूले उहाँलाई घेरे र भने, “तपाईंले हामीलाई कहिलेसम्म दोधारमा राख्‍नुहुनेछ? यदि तपाईं ख्रीष्‍ट हुनुहुन्छ भने हामीलाई खुलमखुला बताउनुहोस् ।”
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.
येशूले तिनीहरूलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो, “मैले तिमीहरूलाई बताइसकेँ, तर तिमीहरू विश्‍वास गर्दैनौ । मैले मेरा पिताको नाउँमा गरेका यी कामहरूले मेरो विषयमा गवाही दिन्‍छन् ।
26 But because you are not My sheep, you refuse to believe.
तरै पनि तिमीहरू विश्‍वास गर्दैनौ, किनकि तिमीहरू मेरा भेडाहरू होइनौ ।
27 My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me.
मेरा भेडाहरूले मेरो सोर सुन्‍छन्, म तिनीहरूलाई चिन्‍छु र तिनीहरूले मलाई पछ्याउँछन् ।
28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them out of My hand. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
म तिनीहरूलाई अनन्‍त जीवन दिन्‍छु; तिनीहरू कहिल्‍यै मर्नेछैनन् र मेरो हातबाट तिनीहरूलाई कसैले खोसेर लैजान सक्‍नेछैन । (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
29 My Father who has given them to Me is greater than all. No one can snatch them out of My Father’s hand.
तिनीहरू मलाई दिनुहुने मेरा पिता अरूहरू सबैभन्‍दा महान् हुनुहुन्‍छ, र कोही पनि तिनीहरूलाई मेरा पिताको हातबाट खोसेर लैजान सक्षम छैन ।
30 I and the Father are one.”
म र पिता एक हौँ ।”
31 At this, the Jews again picked up stones to stone Him.
तब यहूदीहरूले उहाँलाई हान्‍न फेरि ढुङ्गाहरू टिपे ।
32 But Jesus responded, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone Me?”
येशूले तिनीहरूलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो, “मैले पिताका धेरै असल कामहरू तिमीहरूलाई देखाएको छु । ती कुनचाहिँ कुराहरूका लागि तिमीहरू मलाई ढुङ्गाले हान्‍दै छौ?”
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.”
यहूदीहरूले उहाँलाई जवाफ दिए, “हामी तिमीलाई कुनै पनि असल कामहरूका लागि ढुङ्गाले हान्दै छैनौँ, तर ईश्‍वर-निन्दाको निम्ति हो, किनकि तिमी मानिस भएर आफैँलाई परमेश्‍वर बनाइरहेका छौ ।”
34 Jesus replied, “Is it not written in your Law: ‘I have said you are gods’?
येशूले तिनीहरूलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो, “‘मैले भनेँ, ‘तिमीहरू ईश्‍वरहरू हौ’ भन्‍ने के तिमीहरूका व्यवस्थामा लेखिएको छैन?”
35 If he called them gods to whom the word of God came—and the Scripture cannot be broken—
यदि उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई ईश्‍वरहरू भन्‍नुभयो भने परमेश्‍वरको वचन कसकहाँ आयो? (अनि धर्मशास्‍त्रलाई भङ्ग गर्न सकिँदैन ।)
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?
के तिमीहरू पिताले अलग गर्नुभएको, र संसारमा पठाउनुभएको जनलाई मैले, ‘म परमेश्‍वरको पुत्र हुँ’ भनेकोले ‘तैँले ईश्‍वर-निन्दा गरिरहेको छस्’ भन्छौ?
37 If I am not doing the works of My Father, then do not believe Me.
यदि मैले पिताका कामहरू गरिरहेको छैनँ भने मलाई विश्‍वास नगर ।
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.”
तर यदि मैले ती काम नै गरिरहेको छु भने, तिमीहरूले मलाई विश्‍वास नगरे तापनि कामहरूमा त विश्‍वास गर, ताकि पिता ममा हुनुहुन्छ र म पितामा छु भन्‍ने तिमीहरूले जान्‍न र बुझ्‍न सक ।”
39 At this, they tried again to seize Him, but He escaped their grasp.
तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई फेरि पनि पक्रने प्रयास गरे, तर उहाँ तिनीहरूका हातबाट फुत्कनुभयो ।
40 Then Jesus went back across the Jordan to the place where John had first been baptizing, and He stayed there.
उहाँ फेरि यूहन्‍नाले पहिलो पटक बप्‍तिस्‍मा दिएको ठाउँ यर्दनको पारिपट्टि जानुभयो र उहाँ त्यहीँ रहनुभयो ।
41 Many came to Him and said, “Although John never performed a sign, everything he said about this man was true.”
धेरै मानिसहरू उहाँकहाँ आए, र तिनीहरूले भने, “वास्तवमा यूहन्‍नाले चिह्न‍हरू देखाएनन्, तर उनले यी मानिसबारे भनेका सबै कुराहरू सत्य रहेछन् ।”
42 And many in that place believed in Jesus.
त्यहाँ धेरैले उहाँमाथि विश्‍वास गरे ।
