John 10
1 Verily, verily, I say to you, He that enters not in by the door to the fold of the sheep, but mounts up elsewhere, he is a thief and a robber;
“Yesu kawagambira, yoseri yakingira ndiri mulizizi lya kondolu kwa kupitira mlyangu, ira mulupenu na kwingira kwa njira yimonga, ayu ndo mwivi na mkwepula.
2 but he that enters in by the door is [the] shepherd of the sheep.
Muntu yakingira kwa kupitira pamulyangu, ayu ndo mweni mlolera gwa kondolu.
3 To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out.
Mlolera mlyangu kamvugulira yomberi, kondolu wapikinira liziwu lyakuwi, nayomberi kawashema kondolu wakuwi kila yumu litawu lyakuwi na kuwalonguziya kunja.
4 When he has put forth all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
Pakawalavia kunja kawalongulera palongolu, nawomberi kondolu wamfata, kwani walimana liziwu lyakuwi.
5 But they will not follow a stranger, but will flee from him, because they know not the voice of strangers.
Kondolu awa hapeni wawezi kumfata muntu gwingi, ira watuga toziya walimana ndiri liziwu lyakuwi.”
6 This allegory spoke Jesus to them, but they did not know what it was [of] which he spoke to them.
Yesu kawagambiriti mfanu agu, kumbiti womberi wavimana ndiri shakafiriti kuwagambira.
7 Jesus therefore said again to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
Su, Yesu katakula kayi, “Nakaka nuwagambireni, neni ndo mlyangu gwa kondolu.
8 All whoever came before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not hear them.
Wamonga woseri walii wiziti pamberi pa neni ndo wivi na wakwepula, kumbiti kondolu wawapikinira ndiri.
9 I am the door: if any one enter in by me, he shall be saved, and shall go in and shall go out and shall find pasture.
Neni ndo mlyangu. Yakingira kupitira neni hakalopoziwi, hakingiri na kulawa na hakapati maliziwu.
10 The thief comes not but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy: I am come that they might have life, and might have [it] abundantly.
Mwivi kizaga su kiwi na kalagi na kahalabisiyi. Neni niza mpati kuwera na ukomu, ukomu ukamilika.
11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep:
“Neni ndo mlolera muheri. Mlolera muheri kalaviyaga ukomu wakuwi kwa kondolu wakuwi.
12 but he who serves for wages, and who is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf seizes them and scatters the sheep.
Muntu gwa shibenamgongu, yomberi mlolera ndiri na wala kondolu wakuwi ndiri, pakamuwona liminyi kankwiza, kaleka kondolu na kutuga, liminyi kawabata wakondolu na kuwapalasiyanga.
13 Now he who serves for wages flees because he serves for wages, and is not himself concerned about the sheep.
Muntu gwa shibenamgongu katuga toziya yomberi gwa shibenamgongu hera, hapeni kawaloleri wakondolu.
14 I am the good shepherd; and I know those that are mine, and am known of those that are mine,
Neni ndo mlolera muheri. Nuwamana wakondolu wangu nawomberi wamana neni,
15 as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.
gambira Tati ntambu yakamana neni, naneni ntambu yanummana Tati. Neni ndaviya ukomu wangu kwajili ya womberi.
16 And I have other sheep which are not of this fold: those also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one flock, one shepherd.
Nana wakondolu wamonga yawaweriti ndiri mulizizi ali. Inazimu kuwajega viraa, womberi hawalipikiniri liziwu lya neni, na hakuweri shipinga shimu na mlolera yumu.
17 On this account the Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it again.
“Tati kanfira neni toziya ndaviya ukomu wangu, su mpati kuwuwanka kayi.
18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have authority to lay it down and I have authority to take it again. I have received this commandment of my Father.
Kwahera muntu yakampoka ukomu wangu, neni nuwulaviya mweni. Nana uwezu wa kuwulaviya na kuwutola kayi. Hangu ndo Tati kandagaliriti ntendi.”
19 There was a division again among the Jews on account of these words;
Kuwera kayi na malekaniru pakati pa Wayawudi toziya ya visoweru avi.
20 but many of them said, He has a demon and raves; why do ye hear him?
Wantu wavuwa watakuliti, “Kana shamshera, kayi kanalukwali! Gwa shishi kumpikinira?”
21 Others said, These sayings are not [those] of one that is possessed by a demon. Can a demon open blind people's eyes?
Wamonga walonga, “Shisoweru ashi sha muntu kana shamshera ndiri. Hashi, shamshera kaweza ashi kuponiziya muntu kana lwisi?”
22 Now the feast of the dedication was celebrating at Jerusalem, and it was winter.
Aku Yerusalemu kuweriti na msambu gwa kumlavilira Mlungu Numba nkulu ya Mlungu, shipindi ashi shiweriti sha mpepu.
23 And Jesus walked in the temple in the porch of Solomon.
Yesu kaweriti kankugendagenda Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu pahala wapashemiti Mdamu gwa Selemani.
24 The Jews therefore surrounded him, and said to him, Until when dost thou hold our soul in suspense? If thou art the Christ, say [so] to us openly.
Su, Wayawudi wamzyengeta Yesu, wamkosiya, “Hagutuleki pota na nakaka mpaka ndii? Gutugambiri nakaka pota kufifa, Hashi, gwenga ndo Kristu?”
25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye do not believe. The works which I do in my Father's name, these bear witness concerning me:
Yesu kawankula, “Nuwagambireni kala, kumbiti mnjimira ndiri. Lihengu lyantenda neni kwa uwezu wa Tati gwangu wakuntakuziya.
26 but ye do not believe, for ye are not of my sheep, as I told you.
Kumbiti mwenga mnjimira ndiri toziya mwenga mwa kondolu wa neni ndiri.
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me;
Wakondolu wangu wapikinira liziwu lyangu, neni nuwamana, nawomberi wanfati.
29 My Father who has given [them] to me is greater than all, and no one can seize out of the hand of my Father.
Tati gwangu ndo mweni yakanupiti hawa nayomberi ndo mkulu kuliku woseri. Kwahera yakaweza kuwawusiya mmawoku mwakuwi.
30 I and the Father are one.
Neni na Tati, twayumu.”
31 The Jews therefore again took stones that they might stone him.
Su, Wayawudi watola mabuwi wamgumi.
32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewn you of my Father; for which work of them do ye stone me?
Yesu kawagambira, “Nuwalanguziyeni mahengu gavuwa kulawa kwa Tati. Nuwatendera shishi shamfira kung'uma na mabuwi?”
33 The Jews answered him, For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy, and because thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
Wayawudi wamwankula, “Hapeni tukugumi kwajili ya matendu maheri, kumbiti kwa kumwigilanga Mlungu! Gwenga ndo muntu hera kumbiti mweni gwenga gulitenda kuwera Mlungu.”
34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
Yesu kawankula, “Walembiti Mumalagaliru genu, Neni nonga, ‘mwenga ndo milungu?’
35 If he called them gods to whom the word of God came (and the scripture cannot be broken),
Mlungu kawashemiti milungu walii wawapanana ujumbi wakuwi, natwenga tuvimana handa Malembu Mananagala gatakula nakaka mashaka goseri.
36 do ye say of him whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest, because I said, I am Son of God?
Kumbiti neni, Tati ndo kansyaguliti na kantumiti pasipanu. Iwera ashi mung'ambira neni nigilanga toziya ntakuliti ‘Neni Namwana gwa Mlungu?’
37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not;
Namunjimira neni, pamwona ntenda ndiri vitwatira vya Tati gwangu.
38 but if I do, even if ye believe not me, believe the works, that ye may know [and believe] that the Father is in me and I in him.
Kumbiti pantenda vitwatira avi, ata pamunjimira ndiri neni, muvijimiri ata vitwatira vyantenda, su mpati kuvimana nakaka kulonga Tati ka mngati mwangu na neni namngati mwa Tati.”
39 They sought therefore again to take him; and he went away from out of their hand
Wajeriti kayi kumbata Yesu kumbiti kawukiti pakati pawu.
40 and departed again beyond the Jordan to the place where John was baptising at the first: and he abode there.
Yesu kagenda kayi kumwambu ku lushemba Yoridani, pahala Yohani pakaweriti kankubatiza, kalikaliti aku.
41 And many came to him, and said, John did no sign; but all things which John said of this [man] were true.
Wantu wavuwa wamgenderiti pawalonga, “Yohani katenda ndiri liuzauza lyoseri, ira goseri Yohani gakatakuliti kuusu muntu ayu ndo nakaka.”
42 And many believed on him there.
Na wantu wavuwa pahala palii wamjimira.
