John 10
1 [Jesus continued by saying to us], “Listen carefully to what I say. Anyone who does not enter [the sheep pen] through the gate, if he climbs in some other way, he is a thief or a bandit.
Manatse tuut Iyesus hank'o bíeti, «Ariko arikone etirwe itsha, mererwots kúrots fengeshon kindraawo k'osh weeron kinditwo ump'etsonat wombedewotsne.
2 The man who enters [the pen] through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.
Fengeshon kinditwonmó mererwotsi jintsoniye.
3 The man who watches the gate at [night] opens the gate for him. The sheep recognize the shepherd’s voice. He summons his own sheep by [calling out] the names [he has given] them. Then he leads them outside [the pen].
Bíshe fengesh kotirwo k'eshitwe, mererwotswere b́ k'aaro shishetune, bi were b́ took mererwotsi boshutson s'eegetwe, jishde'ernwere ametuwee.
4 After he has brought out all his own [sheep], he goes in front of them. His sheep follow him because they recognize [and pay attention to] his voice.
B́took mereer jamwotsi b́ kishihakon bo shin shinatse sha'itwe, b́ mererwotswere b́ k'aaro bo dantsotse b́ shuutso shoydeniye bo sha'iti.
5 But they will never follow a stranger. Instead, they will run away from him, because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.”
K'osho k'aaronmó bodanawotse bíyatse oka bowos'eti bako b́jámon b́ shuutso amatsne.»
6 Jesus said that [MET] [to illustrate the difference between himself and the Pharisees, who were deceiving the people]. But they did not understand what he was telling them.
Iyesuswere jewraan boosh b́keewi, bomo boosh b́keewetso t'iwintsratsno.
7 So Jesus spoke to them again. He said, “Listen carefully to what I am saying. I am [like] [MET] a gate for the sheep [to enter the sheepfold, because I am the one who allows people to enter God’s presence].
Mansh Iyesus ando aani hank'o boosh bíet, «Arikon arikoniye itsh ti etiriye taa mererwots fengesh taane,
8 All of [your religious leaders] who have come previously [without my authority] are [like] [MET] thieves and bandits [because they act violently and dishonestly for their own benefit]. But [just like] sheep do not [obey strangers, God’s people do not] pay attention to them.
Taayere shin waats jametswots úmp'etswotsnat bik'knee, mererwotsu bon shiyatsne.
9 I am [like] a gate. Those will be saved {[God] will save all those} who come [to God] by [trusting in] me. [Just like sheep] go in and out [through the gate safely] to find pasture [MET], [I will provide for them and protect them].
Fengesho taane, tweeron kinditwo kashitwe, kinditwe, keshetwe, jinokono daatsitwe.
10 Thieves come [to a sheep pen] only to steal or kill or destroy [sheep] [MET]. [Similarly, your religious leaders injure God’s people spiritually]. But I have come in order that people may have [eternal/spiritual] life, and that they may have abundantly [all they need to sustain them spiritually].
Úmp'etsonmo b́ weyiŕ úmp'isha, shukonat t'afiyon s'uzsha, taamo t waa boowere kasho daatsr s'eent s'eenk kasho bodetsetwok'owe.
11 I am [like] a good shepherd. A good shepherd [is willing to] die to save the sheep [MET]. [Similarly, I am ready to sacrifice myself to save those who belong to me].
«Jints sheengo taane, jints sheengo b́ kasho b́ mererwotssha err beshide imetwe.
12 A worker whom someone has hired [to look after the sheep] is not [like] the shepherd or the one who owns the sheep. So when he sees a wolf coming, he leaves the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock of sheep and [seizes one sheep and] causes [the others] to scatter.
Btokk woteraw mereer jintso b́ jinish keeweka bako ari jints woterawonu lawuwo b́ waare b́bek'or mereruwotsi k'ak'rarni b́wos'eti, lawuwonwere mererwotsi bi'ide bad'ib́k'riti.
13 The worker runs away because he is [only] a man whom someone has hired. He is not [really] concerned about [what happens to] the sheep [MET]. [Similarly, your religious teachers do not really care what happens to you].
Jintsman k'az b́wos'irwe keewek b́wottsonat mererwotssh kis'odeshawo b́wottsone.
14 I am [like] a good shepherd. [Just like a good shepherd knows his] sheep [MET], I know those who belong to me, and they know me
Jints sheengo taane, taa t mererwotsi danfee, t mererwotswere taan danfnee.
15 in the same way as [my] Father knows me and I know [my] Father. Furthermore, I am [ready to] sacrifice myself for [those who belong to me].
Taa boon t daniru niho taan b́dantsok'o dani naaronat taawere niho t dantsi naaronee, taa t mererwotssh t kasho beshide imetwe.
16 And I have other people [who are not Jews] who [will some day] belong to me. They will be [like] [MET] sheep from another sheep pen. I must bring them [to God/myself] also. They will pay attention to what I say, and eventually [all those who belong to me] will be [like] one flock, and [I] will be [like] [MET] their one shepherd.
Mereer s'eenanitse woterawo k'oshuwotsitse wotts mererwotsi detsfe, bonowere jisho taash geyife, boowere t k'ááro shishetune, ikoki mereer s'eene bowotiti, jinirwonwere ike b́ wotiti.
17 The reason [my] Father loves me is that I will sacrifice my life. But [after I do that], I will become alive again.
«Aani tdek'et kashú ti ímetwotse t nih taan shunfee.
18 No one is causing me to die. Instead, I [have chosen to] sacrifice myself. I have authority to sacrifice myself and I have authority to become alive again. That is what my Father has commanded me to do.”
Taa t kashu tshunon imetuwe bako tiatse konwor bin dek'etwo aaliye, t kashu imr aninuwe dek'osh alo detsfe, tzaziman tdek'were t nihoknee.»
19 After hearing these words [that Jesus said], the Jews were divided again.
B́ keewtsmanatse tuutson ayhudiwots dagotse k'osh k'oshewo wotbwtsi.
20 Many of them said, “A demon is [controlling] him and has caused him to become crazy. (It is useless to listen to him!/Why should we listen to him?) [RHQ]”
Boyitsnowere ayuwots, «Bí bíatse fo'erawoniye fa'oni, geewtsere, eegishe bín itk'ebiri?» boeti.
21 But others said, “What he is saying is not something a man whom a demon is controlling would say. (No demon could enable a blind man to see [like he did!/] How could a demon enable a blind man to see [like he did]?) [RHQ]”
K'oshuwotsuwere, «B́keew keewan fo'erawo detsts ash nonotse keshetkaliye, fo'erawo bo ááwu dogwots aawo k'eshosh falituwa?» bo eti.
22 Then it was time for the celebration [to remember when our ancestors] rededicated [the Temple in Jerusalem]. It was in winter.
Iyerusalemitse Ik' maa nato bíhandrtsi worwoti bali aawo b́bodi, manoronwe joosha b́tesh.
23 Jesus was in the Temple [courtyard], walking in [the place that people called King] Solomon’s porch.
Iyesus Ik' mootse Solomon bí anaanef werindatsna bí ananefer b́tesh.
24 The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] gathered around him and said, “How long will you keep us from knowing for sure [if you are the Messiah]? If you are the Messiah, tell us clearly!”
Manoor ayhudiwots b́ ganok ko'edek't, «Awurish b́ borfetsone git nibon noon nja'iti? Nee Krsttosi n wotok'o danide noosh keewwe» boeti.
25 Jesus answered them, “I have told you [that I am the Messiah], but you do not believe me! You should know who I am because of the miracles I do with my Father’s authority [MTY].
Iyesusu hank'o ett boosh bíaaniy, «Taa itsh keewre, itmó amaneratste, t nih shútson tfiniru fino t jangosh gawitwe.
26 But instead, you do not believe in me because you do not belong to [me. You are like] [MET] sheep [who belong to a different shepherd].
Itmó t mererwotsitse woto itk'aztsosh amaneratste.
27 [Just like sheep] heed the voice [of their true shepherd] [MET], my [people pay attention to what I say]. I know them, and they have become my disciples.
T mererwots t k'aaro shishetune, taawere boon danfee, boowere t shuutso sha'itúne.
29 [Those] that my Father has given to me are more precious than anything else (OR, My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than anything that opposes them). So no one can pull them away from belonging to him [MTY].
Boon taash imtso t nih jamoniyere bogfe. Tnih kishotse boon bi'dek'o falitwo konwor aaliye.
30 [My] father and I are equal.”
Taana ett Aabn ik noone.»
31 The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] again picked up stones to throw at Jesus [and kill him because they were angry at his saying that he was equal with God].
Ayhudiwotś manoor ando aani bín togosh shútso k'a'ubodek'i.
32 But Jesus said to them, “You have seen me perform many miracles that my Father [told me to do. You should realize from seeing them that I am equal with God]. So, because of which of these miracles [IRO] are you wanting to [kill me by] throwing stones at me?”
Iyesuswere, «T nihoke sheeng fin ayuwotsi itsh kitsre, eshe it taan it togir t fints hanotsitse aawsha etatniya?» bí eti.
33 The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] replied, “We are [wanting to] throw stones at you not because you performed a great miracle. Instead, [we are wanting to do it] because you are dishonoring God. You are just a man, but you are saying that you are God!”
Bowere, «Noo neen notogir Ik'o nc'ashirwosha bako n fints sheeng finoshaliye, manwere nee ash wotefetsat́ n tooko Ik' n woshtsoshee» ett bísh boaaniyi.
34 Jesus replied to them, “In the Scriptures it is written {([someone/the Psalmist]) has written} [RHQ] [what God said to the rulers whom he had appointed], ‘I have said that you are [like] gods.’
Iyesuswere hank'o boosh bíet, «It nemotse ‹Itiye ik'wots it nee, eteere› ett guut'etso aalneya?
35 God said that [to those leaders when he appointed them. No one objected to that]. And nothing that is in Scripture can be set aside {no one can set aside anything that is in Scripture}.
Eshe S'ayin mas'aafo sharosh faleratse, boosh waats Ik'i aap'o S'ayin mas'afo Izar Izewerotsi ett s'eegere.
36 But I am the one [my] Father set apart to completely belong to him. He sent me here into this world. So (why are you angry with me for saying that [I am equal with God when I say] that I am the man who is also God?/you should not be angry with me for saying that [I am equal with God when I say] that I am the person who is both God and man!) [RHQ]
Eshe, Niho S'ayntst datso maantsan b́ doyitso ‹Ik' na'o taane› bí ettsosh eegoshe ‹Ik'o c'ashre› it etiri?
37 If I were not doing the miracles that my Father [told me to do, I would not expect] you to believe in me.
Taa t nih fino fineratse wotiyal taan amank'ayere.
38 But because I perform these miracles, believe [what] these miracles [show about me], even though you do not believe what I [say]. If you do that, then you will know and understand that [my] Father has a close relationship with me, and I have a close relationship with [my] Father.”
T nih finirwoni t finiri wotiyalmo taan dab́ amano it k'azalor t finiru finon amanore, hank'on niho taanton b́ wottsok'onat taawe nihonton twottsok'o shengshde danetute.»
39 After they heard that, they tried to seize him again, but he got away from them.
Bowere ando aani bín detsosh bogeyi, bímó bo kishotse kesht k'az bí'ami.
40 Then Jesus went, along [with us], back across [to the east side of] the Jordan [River]. We went to the place where John was previously baptizing [people]. He/We stayed there [for a few weeks].
Iyesus ando aani Yordanos fokoniye kimt Yohanis bali b́ gupfok bíami, manoknowere b́ teshi.
41 Many people came to Jesus. They were saying, “John never performed a miracle, [but this man has performed many miracles]! Everything that John said about this man is true!”
Ay ashuwots bíyok wáát́, «Yohanis adits fino egoŕ fineratse, ernmó Yohanis ashaan jango b́ keewts jamo aree b́ teshi» bo et.
42 Many people [who came] there believed ([that Jesus was the Messiah/that Jesus truly had come from God]).
Manoknowere ay ashuwots bín bo amani.
