John 10
1 Verily, verily, I say unto you: —He that entereth not, through the door, into the fold of the sheep, but goeth up from another place, that man, is, a thief, and, a robber.
Nkasimpe, nkasimpe, ndamwambila, utanjili akwinda amulyango wachaata chambelele, pele ulatanta mujulu ayimbi nzila, ooyo muntu mubbi asikunyanga.
2 But, he that entereth through the door, is, shepherd, of the sheep:
Ooyo unjila akwinda amulyango ngusikwembela mbelele.
3 To him, the porter openeth, and, the sheep, unto his voice, hearken: and, his own sheep, he calleth by name, and leadeth them forth.
Uubamba mulyango ulamujulila. Mbelele zilamvwa ijwi lyakwe, aboobo ulazyita mbelele zyakwe amazina azyo, akuzitola anze.
4 As soon as, all his own, he hath put forth, before them, he moveth on, and, the sheep, follow him, because they know his voice;
Chiindi nazigwisizya anze zyoonse zyakwe, ulinka kunembo lyazyo, abbobo mbelele ziyomutobela, nkambo zililizi ijwi lyakwe.
5 But, a stranger, will they in nowise follow, but will flee from him, because they know not the voice, of strangers.
Tazikoyo tobela mwenzu nguzitazi pesi anukuti ziyomuchija, nkambo tazilizi pe ijwi lyamwenzu ngozitazi.
6 This similitude, spake Jesus unto them; but, those men, understood not what the things were which he was speaking unto them.
Jesu wakamba aya mambilambali kulimbabo, pesi takwe nibakamvwisisya kuti ezi zintu zyakali nzizyo nzyakali kubaambila.
7 Jesus, therefore, said, again—Verily, verily, I say unto you: —I, am the door of the sheep:
Aboobo Jesu wakabambila lubo, “nchobeni, nchobeni ndamwambila, ndime, mulyango wambelele.
8 All, as many as came before me, are thieves, and, robbers: but the sheep hearkened nor unto them.
Boonse bakasika nkesina sika mbabbi abasikunyanga, pesi mbelele tezyakabaswilila.
9 I, am the door: through me, if anyone enter, he shall be saved, and shall come in and go out, and, pasture, shall find.
Ndime mulyango. Kuti umwii unjila akwiinda mulindime, uyoo futulwa, uyoo njila akuzwa akujana machelelo.
10 The thief, cometh not, save that he may thieve and slay and destroy: I, came, that, life, they might have, and, above measure, might have.
Mubbi tazi kupela pe kunze kwakubba, kujaya akunyonyona. Ndaza kuti babe abuumi akuti buvule.
11 I, am the good shepherd: The good shepherd, his life, layeth down, for the sheep.
Ndime sikwembela mubotu. Sikwembela mubotu ulapeda buumi bwakwe kumbelele.
12 The hireling, even because he is no shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, vieweth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth, —and, the wolf, seizeth them and scattereth, —
Oyoo mubelesi ubbadalwa tensi ngusikwembela pe aboobo tazilizyakwe mbelele. A bona wumpe ulaza aboobo ulazisiya mbelele akuchija, elyo wumpe uyoziluma akuzimwayisya.
13 Because, a hireling, he is, and hath no care for the sheep.
Ulachija nkambo mubelesi sikubbadalwa aboobo talikatazyi ambelele.
14 I, am the good shepherd, and know my own, and, my own, know me, —
Ndime sikwembela mubotu, aboobo zyangu zilindizi.
15 Just as, the Father, knoweth me, and, I, know, the Father; and, my life, I lay down for the sheep.
Taata ulindizi, andime ndilimwizi Taata, aboobo ndilapeda buumi bwangu kumbelele.
16 And, other sheep, have I, which are not of this fold: those also, I must needs bring, and, unto my voice, will they hearken, and there shall come to be, One flock, One shepherd.
Ndilijisi zimwi mbelele zitali zyamuchata chambelele echino. Aboobo ndilelede kuzyeta azilazyo, alimwi ziyolimvwa ijwi lyangu elyo ziyoba taanga lyomwe asikwembela omwe.
17 Therefore, doth the Father, love, me, because, I, lay down my life, that, again, I may receive it: —
Echi nchenchicho Taata nchandiyandila. Ndilapeda buumi bwangu elyo njobubweza lubo.
18 No one, forced it from me, but, I, lay it down, of myself, —Authority, have I, to lay it down, and, authority, have I, again, to receive it: This commandment, received I, from my Father.
Takwe naba omwe uyobubweza kuzwa kuli ndime, pesi ndabupeda ndemwini. Ndila chelelo chakubupeda ndemwini. Ndila chelelo chakubupeda, aboobo ndilachelelo chakubu bweza lubo. Ndakatambula malayilile aya kuzwa kuli Taata”
19 A division, again, took place among the Jews, because of these words.
Kwanzana lubo kwaka akati kama Juda nkambo kamajwi aya.
20 But many from among them were saying—A demon, he hath, and is raving, —Why, unto him, do ye hearken?
Biingi babo bakati “Ulijisi dimoni abobo ulisuwidwe. Nkambonzi nmumuswilila?”
21 Others, said—These sayings, are not those of one demonized, —Can, a demon, open the eyes of, the blind?
Bamwi bakati, “Aya tensi majwi amuntu unjidwe dimoni. Sena dimoni lilakonzya kujula meso amoofu”?
22 The feast of dedication took place at that time, in Jerusalem: it was, winter,
Kwakali kuchindi chakusalazigwa mu Jelusalemu. Kwakali lya mpeyo,
23 and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the porch of Solomon.
aboobo Jesu wakali kuyowenda mu mutempele mu kota lya Solomon.
24 The Jews, therefore, surrounded him, and were saying unto him—How long, holdest thou, our lives, in suspense? If, thou, art the Christ, tell us, plainly.
Pesi ba Juda bakamuzyunguluka akwamba kuti kuli nguwe, “Kukabe lili kojisi nkotwena? Kuti na nduwe Kilisito, twambile antanganana”.
25 Jesus answered them—I told you, and ye believe not: The works which, I, am doing in the name of my Father, the same, bear witness concerning me.
Jesu wakabasandula, “Ndakamwambila, pesi tamusyomi pe. Milimu eyo njenchita muzina lya Taata njindipandulula lwangu me.
26 But, ye, believe not, because ye are not of my sheep.
Pesi tamusyomi nkambo tamuli mbelele zyangu.
27 My sheep, unto my voice, hearken, —and, I, know, them, and they follow me, —
Mbelele zyangu zilamvwa ijwi lyangu. Ndilizizi aboobo zilanditobela me.
29 What, my Father, hath given me, is, something greater than all, and, no one, can carry off out of the hand of my Father: —
Taata wangu wakazipa ndime, mupati kwinda bamwi boonse takwe naba omwe uyokonzya kuzikwempya kuzwa mujanza lya Taata.
30 I and the Father, are, one.
Ime a Taata tuli umwi”.
31 The Jews again lifted up stones, that they might stone him.
Nkabela ma Juda bakabweza mabwe lubo kuti bamutulule
32 Jesus answered them—Many works, have I showed you, noble ones, from my Father: For which of those works are ye stoning me?
Jesu wakabasandula, “Ndamutondezya milimu myingi mibotu izwa kuli Taata. Pesi nguli wamilimu awa ngumunditulwida?”
33 The Jews answered him—Concerning a noble work, are we not stoning thee; but concerning profane speech, —and because, thou, being, a man, art making thyself, God.
Ba Juda bakamusandula, “Tetwakutulula nkambo kamilimu mibotu pe, pesi nkambo kakusampawula, nkambo webo, ulimuntu, ulichita Leza lwakwe”.
34 Jesus answered them—Is it not written in your law: I, said, Ye are, gods?
Jesu wakasandula “Sa tazilembedwe na mumulawu wanu, 'Ndati, “muli baleza”?
35 If, those, he called gods, unto whom, the word of God, came—and the Scripture cannot be broken—
Kuti bategwa mbaleza, ooyo ngulyakazida ijwi lya Leza ( aboobo malembe takoyotyolwa),
36 Of him whom, the Father, hallowed and sent forth into the world, are, ye, saying—Thou speakest profanely, because I said, Son of God, I am?
uwamba kuli ooyo ngwakasala Taata akumutuma munyika, Muloku sampawula. nkambo ndamba kuti ndii mwana wa Leza?
37 If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not believe in me;
Kuti na nsili kuchita milimu ya Taata, mutandisyomi.
38 But, if I am doing them, even though, in me, ye believe not, in the works, believe, —that ye may get to know and go on to know, that the Father is, in me, and, I, am, in the Father.
Pesi na ndikuchita, nansya kuti temwandisyoma, musyome mumilimu kuchitila kuti mukazibe akumvwisisisya kuti Taata ulimulindime aboobo ambebo ndimuli Taata”.
39 They were [therefore] again seeking to take him; and he went forth out of their hand.
Bakezya kumujata lubo, pesi wakapuzuka kuzwa kumanza abo.
40 And he went away again, beyond the Jordan, unto the place where John was at the first, immersing; and he abode there.
Wakabweda lubo mutaala Jodani kubusena oko Joni nkwakatalikila kubbabbatizya, aboobo wakakukkala nkukoko.
41 And, many, came unto him, and were saying—John, indeed, did not so much as, one sign; but, all things, whatsoever John said concerning this one, were, true.
Bantu biingi bakasika kulinguwe alimwi bakati, “Joni nchobeni takwe nakachita zitondezyo, pesi zyonse zintu Joni nzyakamba atala ayoyu mwalumi nzyakasimpe”.
42 And, many, believed on him there.
Bantu biingi bakamusyoma mpawawo.
