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;
ahaṁ yuṣmānatiyathārthaṁ vadāmi, yo jano dvāreṇa na praviśya kenāpyanyena meṣagṛhaṁ praviśati sa eva steno dasyuśca|
2 and he who is entering through the door is shepherd of the sheep;
yo dvāreṇa praviśati sa eva meṣapālakaḥ|
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;
dauvārikastasmai dvāraṁ mocayati meṣagaṇaśca tasya vākyaṁ śṛṇoti sa nijān meṣān svasvanāmnāhūya bahiḥ kṛtvā nayati|
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;
tathā nijān meṣān bahiḥ kṛtvā svayaṁ teṣām agre gacchati, tato meṣāstasya śabdaṁ budhyante, tasmāt tasya paścād vrajanti|
5 and they will not follow a stranger, but will flee from him, because they have not known the voice of strangers.”
kintu parasya śabdaṁ na budhyante tasmāt tasya paścād vrajiṣyanti varaṁ tasya samīpāt palāyiṣyante|
6 Jesus spoke this allegory to them, and they did not know what the things were that He was speaking to them;
yīśustebhya imāṁ dṛṣṭāntakathām akathayat kintu tena kathitakathāyāstātparyyaṁ te nābudhyanta|
7 Jesus therefore said again to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I AM the door of the sheep;
ato yīśuḥ punarakathayat, yuṣmānāhaṁ yathārthataraṁ vyāharāmi, meṣagṛhasya dvāram ahameva|
8 all, as many as came before Me, are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them;
mayā na praviśya ya āgacchan te stenā dasyavaśca kintu meṣāsteṣāṁ kathā nāśṛṇvan|
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.
ahameva dvārasvarūpaḥ, mayā yaḥ kaścita praviśati sa rakṣāṁ prāpsyati tathā bahirantaśca gamanāgamane kṛtvā caraṇasthānaṁ prāpsyati|
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.
yo janastenaḥ sa kevalaṁ stainyabadhavināśān karttumeva samāyāti kintvaham āyu rdātum arthāt bāhūlyena tadeva dātum āgaccham|
11 I AM the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays His life down for the sheep;
ahameva satyameṣapālako yastu satyo meṣapālakaḥ sa meṣārthaṁ prāṇatyāgaṁ karoti;
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;
kintu yo jano meṣapālako na, arthād yasya meṣā nijā na bhavanti, ya etādṛśo vaitanikaḥ sa vṛkam āgacchantaṁ dṛṣṭvā mejavrajaṁ vihāya palāyate, tasmād vṛkastaṁ vrajaṁ dhṛtvā vikirati|
13 and the hired worker flees because he is a hired worker, and is not caring for the sheep.
vaitanikaḥ palāyate yataḥ sa vetanārthī meṣārthaṁ na cintayati|
14 I AM the good shepherd, and I know My [sheep], and am known by Mine,
ahameva satyo meṣapālakaḥ, pitā māṁ yathā jānāti, ahañca yathā pitaraṁ jānāmi,
15 according as the Father knows Me, and I know the Father, and My life I lay down for the sheep,
tathā nijān meṣānapi jānāmi, meṣāśca māṁ jānānti, ahañca meṣārthaṁ prāṇatyāgaṁ karomi|
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.
aparañca etad gṛhīya meṣebhyo bhinnā api meṣā mama santi te sakalā ānayitavyāḥ; te mama śabdaṁ śroṣyanti tata eko vraja eko rakṣako bhaviṣyati|
17 Because of this the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life, that again I may take it;
prāṇānahaṁ tyaktvā punaḥ prāṇān grahīṣyāmi, tasmāt pitā mayi snehaṁ karoti|
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.”
kaścijjano mama prāṇān hantuṁ na śaknoti kintu svayaṁ tān samarpayāmi tān samarpayituṁ punargrahītuñca mama śaktirāste bhāramimaṁ svapituḥ sakāśāt prāptoham|
19 Therefore, again, there came a division among the Jews, because of these words,
asmādupadeśāt punaśca yihūdīyānāṁ madhye bhinnavākyatā jātā|
20 and many of them said, “He has a demon, and is mad, why do you hear Him?”
tato bahavo vyāharan eṣa bhūtagrasta unmattaśca, kuta etasya kathāṁ śṛṇutha?
21 Others said, “These sayings are not those of a demoniac; is a demon able to open blind men’s eyes?”
kecid avadan etasya kathā bhūtagrastasya kathāvanna bhavanti, bhūtaḥ kim andhāya cakṣuṣī dātuṁ śaknoti?
22 And the Dedication in Jerusalem came, and it was winter,
śītakāle yirūśālami mandirotsargaparvvaṇyupasthite
23 and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the porch of Solomon,
yīśuḥ sulemāno niḥsāreṇa gamanāgamane karoti,
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.”
etasmin samaye yihūdīyāstaṁ veṣṭayitvā vyāharan kati kālān asmākaṁ vicikitsāṁ sthāpayiṣyāmi? yadyabhiṣikto bhavati tarhi tat spaṣṭaṁ vada|
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;
tadā yīśuḥ pratyavadad aham acakathaṁ kintu yūyaṁ na pratītha, nijapitu rnāmnā yāṁ yāṁ kriyāṁ karomi sā kriyaiva mama sākṣisvarūpā|
26 but you do not believe, for you are not of My sheep,
kintvahaṁ pūrvvamakathayaṁ yūyaṁ mama meṣā na bhavatha, kāraṇādasmān na viśvasitha|
27 according as I said to you: My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me,
mama meṣā mama śabdaṁ śṛṇvanti tānahaṁ jānāmi te ca mama paścād gacchanti|
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;
yo mama pitā tān mahyaṁ dattavān sa sarvvasmāt mahān, kopi mama pituḥ karāt tān harttuṁ na śakṣyati|
30 I and the Father are one.”
ahaṁ pitā ca dvayorekatvam|
31 Therefore, again, the Jews took up stones that they may stone Him;
tato yihūdīyāḥ punarapi taṁ hantuṁ pāṣāṇān udatolayan|
32 Jesus answered them, “I showed you many good works from My Father; because of which work of them do you stone Me?”
yīśuḥ kathitavān pituḥ sakāśād bahūnyuttamakarmmāṇi yuṣmākaṁ prākāśayaṁ teṣāṁ kasya karmmaṇaḥ kāraṇān māṁ pāṣāṇairāhantum udyatāḥ stha?
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.”
yihūdīyāḥ pratyavadan praśastakarmmaheto rna kintu tvaṁ mānuṣaḥ svamīśvaram uktveśvaraṁ nindasi kāraṇādasmāt tvāṁ pāṣāṇairhanmaḥ|
34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not having been written in your law: I said, you are gods?
tadā yīśuḥ pratyuktavān mayā kathitaṁ yūyam īśvarā etadvacanaṁ yuṣmākaṁ śāstre likhitaṁ nāsti kiṁ?
35 If He called them gods to whom the word of God came (and the Writing is not able to be broken),
tasmād yeṣām uddeśe īśvarasya kathā kathitā te yadīśvaragaṇā ucyante dharmmagranthasyāpyanyathā bhavituṁ na śakyaṁ,
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?
tarhyāham īśvarasya putra iti vākyasya kathanāt yūyaṁ pitrābhiṣiktaṁ jagati preritañca pumāṁsaṁ katham īśvaranindakaṁ vādaya?
37 If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me;
yadyahaṁ pituḥ karmma na karomi tarhi māṁ na pratīta;
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.”
kintu yadi karomi tarhi mayi yuṣmābhiḥ pratyaye na kṛte'pi kāryye pratyayaḥ kriyatāṁ, tato mayi pitāstīti pitaryyaham asmīti ca kṣātvā viśvasiṣyatha|
39 Therefore they were seeking again to seize Him, and He went forth out of their hand,
tadā te punarapi taṁ dharttum aceṣṭanta kintu sa teṣāṁ karebhyo nistīryya
40 and went away again to the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John was at first immersing, and remained there,
puna ryarddan adyāstaṭe yatra purvvaṁ yohan amajjayat tatrāgatya nyavasat|
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”;
tato bahavo lokāstatsamīpam āgatya vyāharan yohan kimapyāścaryyaṁ karmma nākarot kintvasmin manuṣye yā yaḥ kathā akathayat tāḥ sarvvāḥ satyāḥ;
42 and many believed in Him there.
tatra ca bahavo lokāstasmin vyaśvasan|
