John 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.
“Nʼezie, nʼezie, agwa m unu, onye ọbụla na-adịghị esite nʼọnụ ụzọ aba nʼọgba atụrụ kama ọ na-arị elu ka o site nʼelu ụlọ ahụ wufee, bụ onye ohi bụrụkwa onye na-apụnara mmadụ ihe.
2 But one who enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
Onye na-esite nʼọnụ ụzọ abanye bụ onye ọzụzụ atụrụ.
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.
Onye nche ọnụ ụzọ na-emeghere ya ụzọ, atụrụ ya na-anụkwa olu ya. Ọ na-akpọ atụrụ nke ya aha, ma duru ha pụọ.
4 Whenever he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
Mgbe ọ kpọpụtasịrị ndị niile bụ nke ya, ọ na-aga nʼihu ha. Atụrụ ya na-esokwa ya nʼazụ nʼihi na ha maara olu ya.
5 They will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him; for they do not know the voice of strangers."
Ha agaghị eso onye ọbịa, kama ha gbaara ya ọsọ. Nʼihi na ha amaghị olu onye ọbịa.”
6 Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they did not understand what he was telling them.
Jisọs ji ihe yiri ihe gwa ha okwu. Ma ha aghọtaghị ihe ọ nọ na-agwa ha.
7 Jesus therefore said to them again, "Truly, truly, I tell you, I am the sheep's door.
Ọzọ, Jisọs sịrị, “Nʼezie, nʼezie, ana m agwa unu, mụ onwe m bụ ọnụ ụzọ ọgba atụrụ ahụ.
8 All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.
Ndị niile bịara tupu mụ onwe m abịa bụ ndị ohi na ndị na-apụnara mmadụ ihe nʼike. Ụmụ atụrụ aṅakwaghị ha ntị.
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.
Mụ onwe m bụ ụzọ. Onye ọbụla sitere na m banye, a ga-azọpụta ya. Ọ ga na-apụ na-abata na-achọtakwa nri.
10 The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.
Onye ohi na-abịa naanị ka o zuo ohi, gbuo ma bibiekwa; abịara m ka ha nwe ndụ ma nwebigakwa ya oke.
11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
“Mụ onwe m bụ onye ọzụzụ atụrụ ọma. Ezi onye ọzụzụ atụrụ na-atọgbọ ndụ ya nʼihi atụrụ ya.
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.
Onye e goro ọrụ, nke na-abụghị onye nche atụrụ, onye atụrụ na-abụghị nke ya, ọ na-ahapụ ha gbaa ọsọ mgbe ọ hụrụ agụ ka ọ na-abịa; mgbe ahụ agụ na-achụso atụrụ ahụ chụsasịa ha.
13 And the hired hand flees because he is a hired hand and the sheep means nothing to him.
Onye e goro ọrụ na-agbapụ, nʼihi na ọ bụ onye e goro ọrụ, ọ naghị echegbu onwe ya banyere atụrụ ndị ahụ.
14 I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and my own know me;
“Abụ m onye ọzụzụ atụrụ ọma; amaara m atụrụ m, atụrụ nke m makwaara m.
15 even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.
Dị ka Nna ahụ maara m, mụ onwe m makwa Nna ahụ. Ana m atọgbọ ndụ m nʼihi atụrụ ahụ.
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.
Enwere m ụmụ atụrụ ọzọ ndị na-anọghị nʼọgba atụrụ a. Aghaghị m ịkpọbatakwa ha. Ha onwe ha ga-anụ olu m, a ga-enwekwa otu igwe atụrụ na otu onye ọzụzụ atụrụ.
17 Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
Maka nke a ka Nna jiri hụ m nʼanya, nʼihi na ana m atọgbọ ndụ m, ka m wereghachikwa ya ọzọ.
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."
O nweghị onye ọbụla pụrụ ịnara m ya, kama ana m atọgbọ ya nʼike nke onwe m. Enwere m ikike ịtọgbọ ya, nweekwa ikike iwereghachi ya ọzọ. Anatara m iwu a site nʼaka Nna m.”
19 A division arose again among the Jewish people because of these words.
Ọzọkwa, nkewa batara nʼetiti ndị Juu nʼihi okwu ndị a.
20 Many of them said, "He has a demon, and is insane. Why do you listen to him?"
Ọtụtụ nʼime ha na-ekwu, “Ọ bụ onye mmụọ ọjọọ na-achị ya, onye isi mebiri. Ọ bara uru ige ya ntị?”
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?"
Ma ndị ọzọ na-ekwu, “Okwu ndị a adịghị ka nke onye mmụọ ọjọọ bi nʼime ya. Mmụọ ọjọọ o nwere ike ime ka anya onye kpuru ìsì meghee?”
22 At that time Hanukkah took place in Jerusalem.
Nʼoge ahụ, mmemme icheta mgbe e doro ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ nsọ ruru na Jerusalem. Ọ bụ oge oke oyi,
23 It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon's porch.
ma Jisọs nọ na-ejegharị nʼụlọnsọ ukwu, nʼịba Solomọn.
24 The Jewish leaders therefore came around him and said to him, "How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly."
Ndị Juu gbara ya gburugburu sị ya, “Ruo ole mgbe ka ị ga-edebe anyị nʼọnọdụ olileanya? Ọ bụrụ na ị bụ Kraịst ahụ, gwaghee anyị ọnụ.”
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.
Jisọs zara ha, “Agwara m unu, ma unu ekweghị. Ọrụ m na-arụ nʼaha Nna m na-agba ama banyere m.
26 But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep.
Ma unu ekwenyeghị, nʼihi na unu esoghị nʼigwe atụrụ m.
27 As I said to you, my sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
Atụrụ m na-anụ olu m. Amaara m ha, ha na-esokwa m.
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.
Nna m onye nyere m ha dị ukwuu karịa ihe niile. O nweghị onye nwere ike ịnapụ ha site nʼaka Nna m.
30 I and the Father are one."
Mụ na nna m bụ otu.”
31 Therefore the Jewish leaders took up stones again to stone him.
Ndị Juu tụtụlitekwara nkume ọzọ ịtụ ya.
32 Jesus answered them, "I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of those works do you stone me?"
Ma Jisọs zara ha, “E zila m unu ọtụtụ ọrụ ọma nke sitere nʼaka Nna m, olee nke unu na-achọ ịtụ m nkume nʼihi ya?”
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."
Ndị Juu zara ya, “Anyị achọghị ịtụ gị nkume nʼihi ọrụ ọma ndị a, kama nʼihi nkwulu na nʼihi na gị bụ mmadụ efu, ma ị na-eme onwe gị Chineke.”
34 Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your law, 'I said, you are gods?'
Jisọs zara ha, “Edeghị ya nʼiwu unu, sị, ‘Mụ onwe m sịrị na unu bụ chi’?
35 If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken),
Ọ bụrụ na a kpọrọ ndị ahụ nabatara okwu Chineke ‘chi,’ apụghịkwa imebi ihe e dere nʼakwụkwọ nsọ.
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?'
Unu na-ekwu na onye ahụ Chineke doro nsọ ma zitekwa ya nʼime ụwa na-ekwulu Chineke nʼihi na m sịrị, ‘Abụ m Ọkpara Chineke?’
37 If I do not do the works of my Father, do not believe me.
Unu ekwenyela na m, ma ọ bụrụ na ọ bụghị ọrụ Nna m ka m na-arụ.
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."
Ma ọ bụrụ na m na-arụ ya, a sịkwarị na unu ekweghị na m, kwerenụ nʼọrụ ndị a, ka unu nwee ike mata ma ghọtakwa na Nna ahụ nọ nʼime m, mụ onwe m nọkwa nʼime Nna ahụ.”
39 Now they sought again to seize him, and he went out of their hand.
Ọzọkwa, ha gbalịrị ijide ya ma ọ siri nʼaka ha pụọ.
40 He went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was baptizing at first, and there he stayed.
Mgbe ahụ ọ laghachiri azụ nʼofe osimiri Jọdan, bụ ebe Jọn nọrọ na mbụ mee baptizim, ebe ahụ ka ọ nọdụrụ.
41 Many came to him. They said, "John indeed did no sign, but everything that John said about this man is true."
Ọtụtụ ndị mmadụ bịakwutere ya. Ha na-asị, “Jọn arụghị ọrụ ihe ịrịbama ọbụla, ma ihe niile Jọn kwuru banyere nwoke a bụ eziokwu.”
42 And many believed in him there.
Ọtụtụ mmadụ kwenyekwara na ya nʼebe ahụ.
