< John 10 >

1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
“Lóòótọ́, lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín, ẹni tí kò bá gba ẹnu-ọ̀nà wọ inú agbo àgùntàn, ṣùgbọ́n tí ó bá gba ibòmíràn gun òkè, òun náà ni olè àti ọlọ́ṣà.
2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó bá ti ẹnu-ọ̀nà wọlé, Òun ni olùṣọ́ àwọn àgùntàn.
3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
Òun ni aṣọ́nà yóò ṣílẹ̀kùn fún; àwọn àgùntàn gbọ́ ohùn rẹ̀, ó sì pe àwọn àgùntàn tirẹ̀ lórúkọ, ó sì ṣe amọ̀nà wọn jáde.
4 When he hath put forth all his own, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
Nígbà tí ó bá sì ti mú àwọn àgùntàn tirẹ̀ jáde, yóò síwájú wọn, àwọn àgùntàn yóò sì máa tọ̀ ọ́ lẹ́yìn, nítorí tí wọ́n mọ ohùn rẹ̀.
5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
Wọn kò jẹ́ tọ àlejò lẹ́yìn, ṣùgbọ́n wọn a sá kúrò lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, nítorí tí wọn kò mọ ohùn àlejò.”
6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
Òwe yìí ni Jesu pa fún wọn, ṣùgbọ́n òye ohun tí nǹkan wọ̀nyí tí ó ń sọ fún wọn kò yé wọn.
7 Jesus therefore said unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
Nítorí náà Jesu tún wí fún wọn pé, “Lóòótọ́, lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín, Èmi ni ìlẹ̀kùn àwọn àgùntàn.
8 All that came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
Olè àti ọlọ́ṣà ni gbogbo àwọn tí ó ti wà ṣáájú mi, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn àgùntàn kò gbọ́ tiwọn.
9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and go out, and shall find pasture.
Èmi ni ìlẹ̀kùn, bí ẹnìkan bá bá ọ̀dọ̀ mi wọlé, òun ni a ó gbàlà, yóò wọlé, yóò sì jáde, yóò sì rí koríko.
10 The thief cometh not, but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy: I came that they may have life, and may have [it] abundantly.
Olè kì í wá bí kò ṣe láti jalè, láti pa, àti láti parun; èmi wá kí wọn lè ní ìyè, àní kí wọn lè ní i lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀.
11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep.
“Èmi ni olùṣọ́-àgùntàn rere, olùṣọ́-àgùntàn rere fi ọkàn rẹ̀ lélẹ̀ nítorí àwọn àgùntàn.
12 He that is a hireling, and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, beholdeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth, and the wolf snatcheth them, and scattereth [them]:
Ṣùgbọ́n alágbàṣe, tí kì í ṣe olùṣọ́-àgùntàn, ẹni tí àwọn àgùntàn kì í ṣe tirẹ̀, ó rí ìkookò ń bọ̀, ó sì fi àgùntàn sílẹ̀, ó sì fọ́n wọn ká kiri.
13 [he fleeth] because he is a hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
Òun sálọ nítorí tí ó jẹ́ alágbàṣe, kò sì náání àwọn àgùntàn.
14 I am the good shepherd; and I know mine own, and mine own know me,
“Èmi ni olùṣọ́-àgùntàn rere, mo sì mọ àwọn tèmi, àwọn tèmi sì mọ̀ mí.
15 even as the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.
Gẹ́gẹ́ bí Baba ti mọ̀ mí, tí èmi sì mọ Baba, mo sì fi ọkàn mi lélẹ̀ nítorí àwọn àgùntàn.
16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and they shall become one flock, one shepherd.
Èmi sì ní àwọn àgùntàn mìíràn, tí kì í ṣe agbo yìí: àwọn ni èmi yóò mú wá pẹ̀lú, wọn yóò sì gbọ́ ohùn mi; wọn ó sì jẹ́ agbo kan, olùṣọ́-àgùntàn kan.
17 Therefore doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
Nítorí náà ni Baba mi ṣe fẹ́ràn mi, nítorí tí mo fi ẹ̀mí mi lélẹ̀, kí èmi lè tún gbà á.
18 No one taketh it away from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment received I from my Father.
Ẹnìkan kò gbà á lọ́wọ́ mi, ṣùgbọ́n mo fi í lélẹ̀, mo sì lágbára láti tún gbà á. Àṣẹ yìí ni mo ti gbà wá láti ọ̀dọ̀ Baba mi.”
19 There arose a division again among the Jews because of these words.
Nítorí náà ìyapa tún wà láàrín àwọn Júù nítorí ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí.
20 And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?
Ọ̀pọ̀ nínú wọn sì wí pé, “Ó ní ẹ̀mí èṣù, orí rẹ̀ sì dàrú; èéṣe tí ẹ̀yin fi ń gbọ́rọ̀ rẹ̀?”
21 Others said, These are not the sayings of one possessed with a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
Àwọn mìíràn wí pé, “Ìwọ̀nyí kì í ṣe ọ̀rọ̀ ẹni tí ó ní ẹ̀mí èṣù. Ẹ̀mí èṣù lè la ojú àwọn afọ́jú bí?”
22 And it was the feast of the dedication at Jerusalem: it was winter;
Àkókò náà sì jẹ́ àjọ̀dún ìyàsímímọ́ ní Jerusalẹmu, ni ìgbà òtútù.
23 and Jesus was walking in the temple in Solomon’s porch.
Jesu sì ń rìn ní tẹmpili, ní ìloro Solomoni.
24 The Jews therefore came round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou hold us in suspense? If thou art the Christ, tell us plainly.
Nítorí náà àwọn Júù wá dúró yí i ká, wọ́n sì wí fún un pé, “Ìwọ ó ti mú wa ṣe iyèméjì pẹ́ tó? Bí ìwọ bá ni Kristi náà, wí fún wa gbangba.”
25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believe not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, these bear witness of me.
Jesu dá wọn lóhùn pé, “Èmi ti wí fún yín, ẹ̀yin kò sì gbàgbọ́; iṣẹ́ tí èmi ń ṣe lórúkọ Baba mi, àwọn ni ó ń jẹ́rìí mi.
26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep.
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin kò gbàgbọ́, nítorí ẹ̀yin kò sí nínú àwọn àgùntàn mi, gẹ́gẹ́ bí mo tí wí fún yín.
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
Àwọn àgùntàn mi ń gbọ́ ohùn mi, èmi sì mọ̀ wọ́n, wọn a sì máa tọ̀ mí lẹ́yìn.
28 and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
Èmi sì fún wọn ní ìyè àìnípẹ̀kun; wọn kì yóò sì ṣègbé láéláé, kò sí ẹni tí ó lè já wọn gbà kúrò lọ́wọ́ mi. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
29 My Father, which hath given [them] unto me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch [them] out of the Father’s hand.
Baba mi, ẹni tí ó fi wọ́n fún mi pọ̀ ju gbogbo wọn lọ; kò sì ṣí ẹni tí ó lè já wọn gbà kúrò lọ́wọ́ Baba mi.
30 I and the Father are one.
Ọ̀kan ni èmi àti Baba mi.”
31 The Jews took up stones again to stone him.
Àwọn Júù sì tún mú òkúta, láti sọ lù ú.
32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from the Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
Jesu dá wọn lóhùn pé, “Ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ iṣẹ́ rere ni mo fihàn yín láti ọ̀dọ̀ Baba mi wá, nítorí èwo nínú iṣẹ́ wọ̀nyí ni ẹ̀yin ṣe sọ mí ní òkúta?”
33 The Jews answered him, For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
Àwọn Júù sì dá a lóhùn pé, “Àwa kò sọ ọ́ lókùúta nítorí iṣẹ́ rere, ṣùgbọ́n nítorí ọ̀rọ̀-òdì, àti nítorí ìwọ tí í ṣe ènìyàn ń fi ara rẹ pe Ọlọ́run.”
34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
Jesu dá wọn lóhùn pé, “A kò ha tí kọ ọ́ nínú òfin yín pé, ‘Mo ti wí pé, Ọlọ́run ni ẹ̀yin jẹ́’?
35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came (and the scripture cannot be broken),
Bí ó bá pè wọ́n ní ‘ọlọ́run,’ àwọn ẹni tí a fi ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run fún, a kò sì lè ba ìwé mímọ́ jẹ́.
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?
Kín ni ẹyin ha ń wí ní ti ẹni tí Baba yà sọ́tọ̀, tí ó sì rán sí ayé kín lo de ti ẹ fi ẹ̀sùn kàn mi pé mò ń sọ̀rọ̀-òdì nítorí pé mo sọ pé, ‘Èmi ni Ọmọ Ọlọ́run.’
37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
Bí èmi kò bá ṣe iṣẹ́ Baba mi, ẹ má ṣe gbà mí gbọ́.
38 But if I do them, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.
Ṣùgbọ́n bí èmi bá ṣe wọ́n, bí ẹ̀yin kò tilẹ̀ gbà mí gbọ́, ẹ gbà iṣẹ́ náà gbọ́, kí ẹ̀yin ba à lè mọ̀, kí ó sì lè yé yín pé, Baba wà nínú mi, èmi sì wà nínú rẹ̀.”
39 They sought again to take him: and he went forth out of their hand.
Wọ́n sì tún ń wá ọ̀nà láti mú un: ó sì bọ́ lọ́wọ́ wọn.
40 And he went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John was at the first baptizing; and there he abode.
Ó sì tún kọjá lọ sí apá kejì Jordani sí ibi tí Johanu ti kọ́kọ́ ń bamitiisi; níbẹ̀ ni ó sì jókòó.
41 And many came unto him; and they said, John indeed did no sign: but all things whatsoever John spake of this man were true.
Àwọn ènìyàn púpọ̀ sì wá sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, wọ́n sì wí pé, “Johanu kò ṣe iṣẹ́ àmì kan, Ṣùgbọ́n òtítọ́ ni ohun gbogbo tí Johanu sọ nípa ti ọkùnrin yìí.”
42 And many believed on him there.
Àwọn ènìyàn púpọ̀ níbẹ̀ sì gbà á gbọ́.
