< Yochanan 10 >

1 "Truly, truly, I tell you, one who does not enter by the door into the sheepfold, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܡܢ ܕܠܐ ܥܐܠ ܡܢ ܬܪܥܐ ܠܛܝܪܐ ܕܥܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܤܠܩ ܡܢ ܕܘܟܐ ܐܚܪܢܝܐ ܗܘ ܓܢܒܐ ܗܘ ܘܓܝܤܐ
2 But one who enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܕܥܐܠ ܡܢ ܬܪܥܐ ܪܥܝܐ ܗܘ ܕܥܢܐ
3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out.
ܘܠܗܢܐ ܢܛܪ ܬܪܥܐ ܦܬܚ ܠܗ ܬܪܥܐ ܘܥܢܐ ܫܡܥܐ ܩܠܗ ܘܥܪܒܘܗܝ ܩܪܐ ܒܫܡܗܝܗܘܢ ܘܡܦܩ ܠܗܘܢ
4 Whenever he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
ܘܡܐ ܕܐܦܩ ܥܢܗ ܩܕܡܝܗ ܐܙܠ ܘܥܪܒܘܗܝ ܕܝܠܗ ܐܙܠܝܢ ܒܬܪܗ ܡܛܠ ܕܝܕܥܝܢ ܩܠܗ
5 They will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him; for they do not know the voice of strangers."
ܒܬܪ ܢܘܟܪܝܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܐܙܠܐ ܥܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܥܪܩܐ ܡܢܗ ܕܠܐ ܝܕܥܐ ܩܠܗ ܕܢܘܟܪܝܐ
6 Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they did not understand what he was telling them.
ܗܕܐ ܦܠܐܬܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܘ ܡܢܐ ܡܠܠ ܥܡܗܘܢ
7 Jesus therefore said to them again, "Truly, truly, I tell you, I am the sheep's door.
ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܬܘܒ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܬܪܥܗ ܕܥܢܐ
8 All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.
ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܬܘ ܓܢܒܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܓܝܤܐ ܐܠܐ ܠܐ ܫܡܥܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܥܢܐ
9 I am the door. If anyone enters in by me, he will be saved, and will go in and go out, and will find pasture.
ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܬܪܥܐ ܘܒܝ ܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܢܥܘܠ ܢܚܐ ܘܢܥܘܠ ܘܢܦܘܩ ܘܪܥܝܐ ܢܫܟܚ
10 The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.
ܓܢܒܐ ܠܐ ܐܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܕܢܓܢܘܒ ܘܕܢܩܛܘܠ ܘܕܢܘܒܕ ܐܢܐ ܐܬܝܬ ܕܚܝܐ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܡܕܡ ܕܝܬܝܪ ܢܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ
11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܪܥܝܐ ܛܒܐ ܪܥܝܐ ܛܒܐ ܢܦܫܗ ܤܐܡ ܚܠܦ ܥܢܗ
12 He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away; and the wolf snatches them and scatters them.
ܐܓܝܪܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܪܥܝܐ ܘܠܘ ܕܝܠܗ ܐܢܘܢ ܥܪܒܐ ܡܐ ܕܚܙܐ ܕܐܒܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܫܒܩ ܥܢܐ ܘܥܪܩ ܘܐܬܐ ܕܐܒܐ ܚܛܦ ܘܡܒܕܪ ܠܗ ܠܥܢܐ
13 And the hired hand flees because he is a hired hand and the sheep means nothing to him.
ܐܓܝܪܐ ܕܝܢ ܥܪܩ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܓܝܪܐ ܗܘ ܘܠܐ ܒܛܝܠ ܠܗ ܥܠ ܥܢܐ
14 I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and my own know me;
ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܪܥܝܐ ܛܒܐ ܘܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܠܕܝܠܝ ܘܡܬܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܡܢ ܕܝܠܝ
15 even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.
ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܝܕܥ ܠܝ ܐܒܝ ܘܐܢܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܠܐܒܝ ܘܢܦܫܝ ܤܐܡ ܐܢܐ ܚܠܦ ܥܢܐ
16 I have other sheep, which are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will hear my voice. They will become one flock with one shepherd.
ܐܝܬ ܠܝ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܥܪܒܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܘ ܡܢ ܛܝܪܐ ܗܢܐ ܘܐܦ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܠܝ ܠܡܝܬܝܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܢܫܡܥܘܢ ܩܠܝ ܘܬܗܘܐ ܥܢܐ ܟܠܗ ܚܕܐ ܘܚܕ ܪܥܝܐ
17 Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܒܝ ܪܚܡ ܠܝ ܕܐܢܐ ܤܐܡ ܐܢܐ ܢܦܫܝ ܕܬܘܒ ܐܤܒܝܗ
18 No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down by myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. I received this commandment from my Father."
ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܐܢܫ ܫܩܠ ܠܗ ܡܢܝ ܐܠܐ ܐܢܐ ܤܐܡ ܐܢܐ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܨܒܝܢܝ ܫܠܝܛ ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܤܝܡܝܗ ܘܫܠܝܛ ܐܢܐ ܕܬܘܒ ܐܤܒܝܗ ܕܗܢܐ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܩܒܠܬ ܡܢ ܐܒܝ
19 A division arose again among the Jewish people because of these words.
ܘܗܘܬ ܬܘܒ ܦܠܓܘܬܐ ܒܝܢܝ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܡܛܠ ܡܠܐ ܗܠܝܢ
20 Many of them said, "He has a demon, and is insane. Why do you listen to him?"
ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܕܕܝܘܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܘܡܫܢܐ ܫܢܐ ܡܢܐ ܫܡܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܗ
21 Others said, "These are not the sayings of one possessed by a demon. It is not possible for a demon to open the eyes of the blind, is it?"
ܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܗܠܝܢ ܡܠܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܝ ܕܕܝܘܢܐ ܠܡܐ ܕܝܘܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܥܝܢܐ ܕܤܡܝܐ ܠܡܦܬܚܘ
22 At that time Hanukkah took place in Jerusalem.
ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܥܐܕܐ ܕܚܘܕܬܐ ܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܤܬܘܐ ܗܘܐ
23 It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon's porch.
ܘܡܗܠܟ ܗܘܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܗܝܟܠܐ ܒܐܤܛܘܐ ܕܫܠܝܡܘܢ
24 The Jewish leaders therefore came around him and said to him, "How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly."
ܘܚܕܪܘܗܝ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܐܡܬܝ ܢܤܒ ܐܢܬ ܢܦܫܢ ܐܢ ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܢ ܓܠܝܐܝܬ
25 Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name, these testify about me.
ܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܡܪܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܥܒܕܐ ܕܐܢܐ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ ܒܫܡܗ ܕܐܒܝ ܗܢܘܢ ܤܗܕܝܢ ܥܠܝ
26 But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep.
ܐܠܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܥܪܒܝ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܡܪܬ ܠܟܘܢ
27 As I said to you, my sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
ܥܪܒܐ ܕܝܠܝ ܩܠܝ ܫܡܥܝܢ ܘܐܢܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܐܬܝܢ ܒܬܪܝ
28 I give everlasting life to them. They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
ܘܐܢܐ ܝܗܒ ܐܢܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܘܠܐ ܢܐܒܕܘܢ ܠܥܠܡ ܘܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܢܚܛܘܦ ܐܢܘܢ ܡܢ ܐܝܕܝ (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all. No one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand.
ܐܒܝ ܓܝܪ ܕܝܗܒ ܠܝ ܡܢ ܟܠ ܪܒ ܗܘ ܘܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܡܫܟܚ ܕܡܢ ܐܝܕܗ ܕܐܒܝ ܢܚܛܘܦ
30 I and the Father are one."
ܐܢܐ ܘܐܒܝ ܚܕ ܚܢܢ
31 Therefore the Jewish leaders took up stones again to stone him.
ܘܫܩܠܘ ܬܘܒ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܟܐܦܐ ܠܡܪܓܡܗ
32 Jesus answered them, "I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of those works do you stone me?"
ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܥܒܕܐ ܫܦܝܪܐ ܡܢ ܠܘܬ ܐܒܝ ܚܘܝܬܟܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܐܝܢܐ ܥܒܕܐ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܪܓܡܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܝ
33 The Jewish leaders answered him, "We do not stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy: because you, being a man, make yourself God."
ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܛܠ ܥܒܕܐ ܫܦܝܪܐ ܪܓܡܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܠܟ ܐܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܓܕܦ ܐܢܬ ܘܟܕ ܐܝܬܝܟ ܒܪ ܐܢܫܐ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܬ ܢܦܫܟ ܐܠܗܐ
34 Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your law, 'I said, you are gods?'
ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܟܬܝܒ ܒܢܡܘܤܟܘܢ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܡܪܬ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ
35 If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken),
ܐܢ ܠܗܢܘܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܠܗܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܗܘܬ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܟܬܒܐ ܕܢܫܬܪܐ
36 do you say of him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, 'You blaspheme,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God?'
ܠܐܝܢܐ ܕܐܒܐ ܩܕܫܗ ܘܫܕܪܗ ܠܥܠܡܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܡܓܕܦ ܐܢܬ ܥܠ ܕܐܡܪܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܒܪܗ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ
37 If I do not do the works of my Father, do not believe me.
ܐܠܐ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܐܒܝ ܠܐ ܬܗܝܡܢܘܢܢܝ
38 But if I do them, though you do not believe me, believe the works; that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father."
ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ ܐܦܢ ܠܝ ܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܥܒܕܐ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܕܬܕܥܘܢ ܘܬܗܝܡܢܘܢ ܕܐܒܝ ܒܝ ܘܐܢܐ ܒܐܒܝ
39 Now they sought again to seize him, and he went out of their hand.
ܘܒܥܘ ܗܘܘ ܬܘܒ ܕܢܐܚܕܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܢܦܩ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܐܝܕܝܗܘܢ
40 He went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was baptizing at first, and there he stayed.
ܘܐܙܠ ܠܗ ܠܥܒܪܐ ܕܝܘܪܕܢܢ ܠܕܘܟܬܐ ܐܝܟܐ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܟܕ ܡܥܡܕ ܗܘܐ ܘܗܘܐ ܬܡܢ
41 Many came to him. They said, "John indeed did no sign, but everything that John said about this man is true."
ܘܐܬܘ ܐܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܠܘܬܗ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܚܕܐ ܐܬܐ ܥܒܕ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܡܪ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܥܠ ܓܒܪܐ ܗܢܐ ܫܪܝܪ ܗܘ
42 And many believed in him there.
ܘܤܓܝܐܐ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܒܗ
