John 10
1 Truly, truly do I say to you, He that entereth not through the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber;
Kyang'haani nikuvavuula, umuunhu juno ikwingila muluvagha lwa ng'holo kisila kukilila pa mulyango, neke ikilila pavunge, ujuo mhiji kange mhijim'budi.
2 but he that entereth through the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
Looli juno ikilila pa mulyango, ujuo ghwe ndiimi ghwa ng'holo.
3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice; and his own sheep he calleth by name, and leadeth them out.
Umuloleleli ghwa luvagha ikun'dindulila umulyango, nasi ng'holo sipulika ilisio ilya n'diimi ujuo. Ghwope ikusikemeela ing'holo saake nijingi nilitavua lyake na kukusihumia kunji.
4 When he hath put forth all his own, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
Kyande asihumisie ing'holo saake sooni, umwene ilongola, iseene sikum'bingilila, ulwakuva silikagwile ilisio lyake.
5 But a stranger they will not follow, but will flee from him; because they know not the voice of strangers.
Ing'holo nasingam'bingilile umuunhu umhesia, ulwene sikunkimbila ulwakuva nasilimanyile ilisio lyake.”
6 This parable Jesus spoke to them; but they did not understand what the things were which he spoke to them.
UYesu alyavavulile aveene ikihwanikisio iki, neke aveene navalyasitanghinie sino ikuvavuula.
7 Jesus therefore said, Truly, truly do I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
Pe u Yesu akavavuula kange akati. Kyang'haani nikuvavuula, une nene mulyango ghwa luvagha pano sikwingilila ing'holo.
8 All those who came are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not hear them.
Avaanhu vooni vano valyatalile kulyune kuuva vadiimi va ng'holo, valyale vahiji kange vahiijivabudi, nasing'holo nasikavapulikagha.
9 I am the door; if any one enter through me, he will be saved, and will go in and out, and find pasture.
Une neene mulyango, umuunhu juno ikwingila kukilila une ipokua. Kukilila une ikwingilagha na kuhuma na kuuva ni kyakulia.
10 The thief cometh not but to steal, and to kill, and to destroy; I came that they might have life, and have abundance.
Umhiiji ikwisa nu vufumbue vwa kuhija, kubuda na kunangania. Une nisile kuuti avaanhu vave nu vwumi, vave navwo ifighono fyoni.
11 I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
Une nili ndiimi nnofu. Undiimi unnofu, anoghile kufua vwimila ing'holo saake.
12 He that is a hireling and not a shepherd, nor the owner of the sheep, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth; and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep;
Umuunhu juno idiima ing'holo vwimila uluhombo, ujuo na ndiimi ghwa ng'holo, kange ing'holo nasaake, angavone ing'hekeeva jikwisa, ikimbila na kukusileka ing'holo seene. Pe ing'hekeeva jikwalukila ing'holo na kupalanisia.
13 because he is a hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
Umuunhu ujuo ikimbila ulwakuva uvufumbue vwake lwe luhombo, ing'holo na kiinu kwa mwene.
14 I am the good shepherd, and I know my sheep, and they know me,
Une nili n'diimi nnofu. Ing'holo sango nisikagwile, soope sing'hagwile.
15 even as the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father; and I give my life for the sheep.
n'davule uNhaata vule ang'hagwile une, na juune vule ninkagwile umwene. Une nitavula uvwumi vwanga vwimila ing'holo.
16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold; them also I must bring; and they will hear my voice, and there will be one flock, one shepherd.
Nili ni ng'holo isingi sino nasili muluvagha ulu. Soope isio nilonda kukusileeta, soope sikumhulikagha. Apuo kiiva kipugha kimo, nu ndiimi jumo.
17 On this account the Father loveth me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
Ulu, fyenambe uNhaata anganile: Nitavwile kufua, neke niiva mwumi kange.
18 No one taketh 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; this charge I received from my Father.
Nakwale umuunhu juno ndepoonu ivusia uvwumi vwango, looli une nitavwile june kufua. Une nilinuvutavulilua uvwa kuvusia uvwumi vwango, kange nili nu vutavulilua uvwa kuvugomosia. Nuupile ululaghilo ulu kuhuma kwa Nhaata.”
19 Again there arose a division among the Jews on account of these words.
Amasio aghuo ghakapelela aVayahudi kulekeng'hana.
20 Many of them said, He hath a demon, and is mad; why do ye hear him?
Vinga mu veene vakati, “Uju ali ni lipepo, kange apelwike. Lwakiki kukumpulikisia?”
21 Others said, These are not the words of one that hath a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?
Avange vakava viiti, “Amasio aghuo naghihuma mwa muunhu unya lipepo. Asi, ilipepo ndepoonu likumpelela um'bofu amaaso kulola?”
22 And the feast of the dedication came at Jerusalem. It was winter;
Pe ghukafika unsiki ughwa kikulukulu ikya kwimika ku Yelusalemu.
23 and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon's porch.
Pe pano aVayahudi vamonga Unsiki ughuo ghulyale ghwa mhepo, uYesu alyale mu nyumba inyimike ija kufunyila, ighenda ghenda mu luviika luno lukatambulwagha, “Luviika lwa Solomoni.”
24 Then came the Jews around him, and said to him, How long dost thou hold our minds in suspense? If thou art the Christ, tell us plainly.
Pe pano aVayahudi vamonga vakankong'hanila, vakam'buula vakati, “Ghukutuviika mu nganighani mpaka liighi? Nave veeve Kilisite tuvuule pa vuvalafu!”
25 Jesus answered them, I have told you, and ye do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name, these bear witness of me.
UYesu akavamula akati, “Une nivavulile kuuti neene veeni, neke umue namukwitika. Sino nivomba mu litavua lya Nhaata, sihufia kuuti neene veeni.
26 But ye do not believe, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said to you.
Neke umue namukwitika ulwakuva namuli ng'holo sango.
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me;
Ing'holo sango sipulika ilisio lyango, na juune nisikagwile, soope sikumbingilila.
29 That which my Father hath given me is greater than all; and no one is able to tear [[them]] out of the Father's hand.
UNhaata ghwango juno amheliile ing'holo isio, m'baha kukila vooni, kange nakwale umuunhu juno ndepoonu ikusivusia mu mavoko ghaake.
30 I and the Father are one.
Une nu Nhaata tuli vumo.”
31 The Jews again took up stones to stone him.
Ye vapuliike isio, vakahola kange amavue kuuti vantove.
32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shown you from the Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
Neke uYesu akavavuula akati, “Nivombile imbombo nyinga inofu pamaaso ghiinu. Imbombo isio nivombile ku ngufu sa Nhaata. Lino, mu sino nivombile, lukilu luno lukuvapelela kukunhova na mavue?”
33 The Jews answered him, Not for a good work do we stone thee, but for blasphemy, and because thou, who art a man, makest thyself God.
AVayahudi vakamwamula bakati, “Natulonda kukukutova na mavue vwimila imbombo inofu sino uvombile, ulwene tukukutova ulwakuva ghukumuligha uNguluve. Ghukuviika uli Nguluve napano uli muunhu ndavule avaanhu avange!”
34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your Law, “I said, ye are gods”?
UYesu akavamula akati, “Nalilembilue mufitabu fiinu ifya ndaghilo kuuti, 'Umue muli manguluve”'?”
35 If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came, and the Scripture cannot be made void,
Nave alyavatambwile manguluve, avaanu vano valyapuliike ilisio lyake (kange aMalembe aMimike ifighono fyoni ghijova isa kyang'haani),
36 say ye of him whom the Father sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest, because I said, I am the Son of God?
lino mujova kwa juno uNhaata alyantavwile akansung'ha mu iisi mwiti, 'nikumaligha u Nguluve,' pano niiti 'Une nili Mwana ghwa Nguluve'?
37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
Nave nanivomba imbombo isa Nhaata, namunganyiti kange.
38 But if I do them, though ye believe not me, believe the works; that ye may learn and know that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.
Neke nave nivomba, nambe namukunyitika, mwitikaghe vwimila imbombo isio neke mukagule na kukulutanghania kuuti uNhaata ali mulyune, najuune nili mwa Nhaata.”
39 They sought therefore to seize him; and he went forth out of their hands.
Neke vakava vilonda pikunkola kange, neke uYesu akavatyegha.
40 And he went away again beyond the Jordan, to the place where John was at first baptizing; and there he abode.
U Yesu akaluta kange imwambo ija ikya Yolidani, pano uYohani alyale ikwofugha avaanhu, akava ukuo ifighono fidebe.
41 And many came to him, and said, John indeed wrought no sign; but everything that John said of this man was true.
Ye ali kula, avaanhu vinga vakaluta kwa mwene viiti, “UYohani naalyavombile nambe ikivalilo kimo, neke imhola sooni sino alyajovile vwimila umuunhu uju, sa kyang'haani.
42 And many believed in him there.
Ukuo avaanhu vinga vakamwitika uYesu.
