John 10
1 “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who is not entering through the door to the fold of the sheep, but is going up from another side, that one is a thief and a robber;
Yesu akavajovela, “Chakaka nikuvajovela, mundu yoyoha yula mweangayingila muchivaya cha mambelele kwa kupitila pamlyangu uvaha nambu iholota na kuyingila kwa pandu pangi, mwenuyo ndi muhiji na mnyagaji.
2 and he who is entering through the door is shepherd of the sheep;
Nambu mundu yula mweiyingila kupitila mlyangu, mwenuyo ndi mdimaji wa mambelele.
3 the doorkeeper opens to this one, and the sheep hear his voice, and his own sheep he calls by name, and leads them forth;
Mlonda wa mlyangu wa chivaya akumdindulila mlyangu mdimaji. Na mambelele giyuwana lwami lwa mdimaji, namwene akugakemela kwa mahina gavi kila limonga na kugawusa kuvala.
4 and when he may put forth his own sheep, he goes on before them, and the sheep follow him, because they have known his voice;
Akamala kugawusa kuvala, mwene akugalongolela kulongolo, na mambelele gakumlanda, ndava gakulumanya lwami lwaki.
5 and they will not follow a stranger, but will flee from him, because they have not known the voice of strangers.”
Nambu gakumlanda lepi myehe, ndi gakumtila ndava nakulumanya lwami lwaki.”
6 Jesus spoke this allegory to them, and they did not know what the things were that He was speaking to them;
Yesu avajovili kwa luhumu ulu, nambu vene vamanyili lepi cheaganili kuvajovela.
7 Jesus therefore said again to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I AM the door of the sheep;
Hinu Yesu akajova kavili, chakaka nikuvajovela nene ndi mlyangu wa chivaya cha mambelele.
8 all, as many as came before Me, are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them;
Voha vevanilongolili nene, ndi vahiji na vanyagaji, na mambelele nakuvayuwanila.
9 I AM the door, if anyone may come in through Me, he will be saved, and he will come in, and go out, and find pasture.
Nene ndi mlyangu. Mweiyingila munjila yangu yati isanguliwa, yati iyingila na kuhuma na kupewa chakulya.
10 The thief does not come, except that he may steal, and kill, and destroy; I came that they may have life, and may have [it] abundantly.
Mhiji ibwela muni ayivayi, na kukoma na kuhalabisa. Nene nibwelili muni mupatayi wumi wa chakaka weumemili.
11 I AM the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays His life down for the sheep;
Nene ndi mdimaji mbwina. Mdimaji mbwina ajitendekili hati kufwa ndava ya mambelele gaki.
12 and the hired worker, and not being a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, beholds the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and flees; and the wolf snatches them, and scatters the sheep;
Mhenga lihengu wa luhuna mdimaji lepi, mambelele gaki lepi. Peiwona libwa la kudahi libwela. Ileka mambelele na kutila, kangi libwa la kudahi likamula na kugapechengana.
13 and the hired worker flees because he is a hired worker, and is not caring for the sheep.
Mundu mwenuyo itila na iyangalila lepi mambelele, ndava mwene ndi mundu wa luhuna ndu.
14 I AM the good shepherd, and I know My [sheep], and am known by Mine,
Nene ndi mdimaji mbwina nigamanyili mambelele gangu, na mambelele gegavi gangu ganimanyili.
15 according as the Father knows Me, and I know the Father, and My life I lay down for the sheep,
Ngati Dadi cheanimanyili nene, na nene chenimmanyili Dadi. Niwusa wumi wangu hati kufwa ndava ya mambelele.
16 and other sheep I have that are not of this fold, these also it is necessary for Me to bring, and My voice they will hear, and there will become one flock—one shepherd.
Kangi nivii na mambelele gangi ga chivaya ichi lepi. Yikunigana mewa kugaleta, na gene yati giyuwana lwami lwangu, yati kwivya na msambi umonga na mdimaji mmonga.
17 Because of this the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life, that again I may take it;
“Dadi akunigana ndava nikuuwusa wumi wangu muni niupokelayi kavili.
18 no one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself; authority I have to lay it down, and authority I have again to take it; this command I received from My Father.”
Kawaka mundu mweakuninyaga wumi wangu, nambu nikuuwusa kwa kugana kwangu namwene. Nivii na uhotola wa kuuwusa wumi wangu na mewa nivii na uhotola wa kuutola kavili. Chenichi ndi Dadi cheanilagizi kukita.”
19 Therefore, again, there came a division among the Jews, because of these words,
Ndava ya malovi genago ukahumila mpechenganu kavili pagati ya Vayawudi.
20 and many of them said, “He has a demon, and is mad, why do you hear Him?”
Vangi vamahele vakajova, “Mwenuyu ana mzuka! Mewa ana lupengu Ndava kyani kumyuwanila?”
21 Others said, “These sayings are not those of a demoniac; is a demon able to open blind men’s eyes?”
Nambu vangi vakajova, “Malovi aga lepi ga mundu ana mzuka. Wu, mzuka uhotola kudindula mihu ga vangalola?”
22 And the Dedication in Jerusalem came, and it was winter,
Ku Yelusalemu kwenuko kwavili na mselebuko wa kukumbuka kuyibagula Nyumba ndava ya Bambu. Lukumbi lwenulo lwavi lwa mbepu.
23 and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the porch of Solomon,
Yesu mwene avi igenda Munyumba ya Chapanga mu libanji la Solomoni.
24 the Jews, therefore, came around Him and said to Him, “Until when do You hold our soul in suspense? If You are the Christ, tell us freely.”
Vayawudi vamtindili, kumkota, “Ukutileka na maholo mbaka ndali? Ngati veve ndi Kilisitu Msangula, hinu utijovela hotohoto.”
25 Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe; the works that I do in the Name of My Father, these testify concerning Me;
Yesu akavayangula, “Nivajovili, nambu nyenye nakunisadika. Mahengu genihenga nene kwa liina la Dadi wangu gilangisa nene ndi yani.
26 but you do not believe, for you are not of My sheep,
Nambu nyenye mwisadika lepi, ndava nyenye lepi mambelele gangu.
27 according as I said to you: My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me,
Mambelele gangu giyuwana lwami lwangu. Nene nigamanyili na gene gakunilanda.
29 My Father, who has given to Me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch out of the hand of My Father;
Dadi wangu ndi mkulu kuliku vyoha, na kawaka mundu wa kuhotola kuvanyaga mu mawoko ga Dadi wangu.
30 I and the Father are one.”
Nene na Dadi, tavamonga.”
31 Therefore, again, the Jews took up stones that they may stone Him;
Hinu, Vayawudi vakanonga maganga muni vamkomayi Yesu.
32 Jesus answered them, “I showed you many good works from My Father; because of which work of them do you stone Me?”
Yesu akavajovela, “Nivalangisi mahengu gamahele kuhuma kwa Dadi. Wu, lihengu loki lelikuvakita nyenye munikoma kwa maganga?”
33 The Jews answered Him, saying, “We do not stone You for a good work, but for slander, and because You, being a man, make Yourself God.”
Vayawudi vakamyangula, “Tikukoma lepi kwa maganga ndava ya mahengu gabwina gehuhengili, nambu ndava ukumliga Chapanga, veve wa mundu ndu nambu ukujikita wa Chapanga.”
34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not having been written in your law: I said, you are gods?
Yesu akavajovela, “Yiyandikwi mu malagizu ginu, ‘Nene nijovili, nyenye ndi vachapanga?’
35 If He called them gods to whom the word of God came (and the Writing is not able to be broken),
Chapanga avakemili vandu vala vevapewili ujumbi waki ndi vachapanga, na tete timanyili kuvya Mayandiku Gamsopi gijova chakaka magono goha.
36 of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, do you say—You slander, because I said, I am [the] Son of God?
Dadi anihagwili na kunituma pamulima. Ndava kyani nyenye mukunijovela, nikumliga Chapanga. Penijova nene Mwana wa Chapanga?
37 If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me;
Ngati nikugahenga lepi mahengu ga Dadi wangu, mkoto kunisadika.
38 and if I do, even if you may not believe Me, believe the works, that you may know and may believe that the Father [is] in Me, and I in Him.”
Ngati nikugahenga, hati ngati mukunisadika lepi, hinu mugasadika mahengu genago. Muhotola kumanya chakaka kuvya Dadi avi mugati yangu, na nene nivii mugati yaki.”
39 Therefore they were seeking again to seize Him, and He went forth out of their hand,
Vakalinga kavili kumkamula Yesu nambu akavalema mu mawoko gavi.
40 and went away again to the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John was at first immersing, and remained there,
Yesu akahamba kangi kumwambu ya mfuleni Yoludani, pandu peavi Yohani ibatiza, akatama kwenuko.
41 and many came to Him and said, “John, indeed, did no sign, and all things, as many as John said about this One were true”;
Vandu vamahele vambwelili Yesu na kujova Yohani ahengili lepi gachinamtiti gogoha, “Nambu goha geajovili kumvala mundu uyu ndi chakaka neju.”
42 and many believed in Him there.
Vandu vamahele pandu penapo vakamsadika Yesu.
