< John 10 >

1 In truth I tell you, whoever does not go into the sheepfold through the door, but climbs up at some other place, that man is a thief and a robber;
«اَلْحَقَّ ٱلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ ٱلَّذِي لَا يَدْخُلُ مِنَ ٱلْبَابِ إِلَى حَظِيرَةِ ٱلْخِرَافِ، بَلْ يَطْلَعُ مِنْ مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ، فَذَاكَ سَارِقٌ وَلِصٌّ.١
2 but the man who goes in through the door is shepherd to the sheep.
وَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِي يَدْخُلُ مِنَ ٱلْبَابِ فَهُوَ رَاعِي ٱلْخِرَافِ.٢
3 For him the watchman opens the door; and the sheep listen to his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out.
لِهَذَا يَفْتَحُ ٱلْبَوَّابُ، وَٱلْخِرَافُ تَسْمَعُ صَوْتَهُ، فَيَدْعُو خِرَافَهُ ٱلْخَاصَّةَ بِأَسْمَاءٍ وَيُخْرِجُهَا.٣
4 When he has brought them all out, he walks in front of them, and his sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
وَمَتَى أَخْرَجَ خِرَافَهُ ٱلْخَاصَّةَ يَذْهَبُ أَمَامَهَا، وَٱلْخِرَافُ تَتْبَعُهُ، لِأَنَّهَا تَعْرِفُ صَوْتَهُ.٤
5 They will not follow a stranger, but will run away from him; because they do not know a stranger’s voice.”
وَأَمَّا ٱلْغَرِيبُ فَلَا تَتْبَعُهُ بَلْ تَهْرُبُ مِنْهُ، لِأَنَّهَا لَا تَعْرِفُ صَوْتَ ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ».٥
6 This was the allegory that Jesus told them, but they did not understand of what he was speaking.
هَذَا ٱلْمَثَلُ قَالَهُ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ، وَأَمَّا هُمْ فَلَمْ يَفْهَمُوا مَا هُوَ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ يُكَلِّمُهُمْ بِهِ.٦
7 So he continued: “In truth I tell you, I am the Door for the sheep.
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ أَيْضًا: «ٱلْحَقَّ ٱلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنِّي أَنَا بَابُ ٱلْخِرَافِ.٧
8 All who came before me were thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not listen to them.
جَمِيعُ ٱلَّذِينَ أَتَوْا قَبْلِي هُمْ سُرَّاقٌ وَلُصُوصٌ، وَلَكِنَّ ٱلْخِرَافَ لَمْ تَسْمَعْ لَهُمْ.٨
9 I am the Door; he who goes in through me will be safe, and he will go in and out and find pasture.
أَنَا هُوَ ٱلْبَابُ. إِنْ دَخَلَ بِي أَحَدٌ فَيَخْلُصُ وَيَدْخُلُ وَيَخْرُجُ وَيَجِدُ مَرْعًى.٩
10 The thief comes only to steal, to kill, and to destroy; I have come that they may have Life, and may have it in greater fullness.
اَلسَّارِقُ لَا يَأْتِي إِلَّا لِيَسْرِقَ وَيَذْبَحَ وَيُهْلِكَ، وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَقَدْ أَتَيْتُ لِتَكُونَ لَهُمْ حَيَاةٌ وَلِيَكُونَ لَهُمْ أَفْضَلُ.١٠
11 I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down his life for his sheep.
أَنَا هُوَ ٱلرَّاعِي ٱلصَّالِحُ، وَٱلرَّاعِي ٱلصَّالِحُ يَبْذِلُ نَفْسَهُ عَنِ ٱلْخِرَافِ.١١
12 The hired man who is not a shepherd, and who does not own the sheep, when he sees a wolf coming, leaves them and runs away; then the wolf seizes them, and scatters the flock.
وَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِي هُوَ أَجِيرٌ، وَلَيْسَ رَاعِيًا، ٱلَّذِي لَيْسَتِ ٱلْخِرَافُ لَهُ، فَيَرَى ٱلذِّئْبَ مُقْبِلًا وَيَتْرُكُ ٱلْخِرَافَ وَيَهْرُبُ، فَيَخْطَفُ ٱلذِّئْبُ ٱلْخِرَافَ وَيُبَدِّدُهَا.١٢
13 He does this because he is only a hired man and does not care about the sheep.
وَٱلْأَجِيرُ يَهْرُبُ لِأَنَّهُ أَجِيرٌ، وَلَا يُبَالِي بِٱلْخِرَافِ.١٣
14 I am the Good Shepherd; and I know my sheep, and my sheep know me —
أَمَّا أَنَا فَإِنِّي ٱلرَّاعِي ٱلصَّالِحُ، وَأَعْرِفُ خَاصَّتِي وَخَاصَّتِي تَعْرِفُنِي،١٤
15 Just as the Father knows me and I know the Father — and I lay down my life for the sheep.
كَمَا أَنَّ ٱلْآبَ يَعْرِفُنِي وَأَنَا أَعْرِفُ ٱلْآبَ. وَأَنَا أَضَعُ نَفْسِي عَنِ ٱلْخِرَافِ.١٥
16 I have other sheep besides, which do not belong to this fold; I must lead them also, and they will listen to my voice; and they shall become one flock under ‘one Shepherd.’
وَلِي خِرَافٌ أُخَرُ لَيْسَتْ مِنْ هَذِهِ ٱلْحَظِيرَةِ، يَنْبَغِي أَنْ آتِيَ بِتِلْكَ أَيْضًا فَتَسْمَعُ صَوْتِي، وَتَكُونُ رَعِيَّةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ وَرَاعٍ وَاحِدٌ.١٦
17 This is why the Father loves me, because I lay down my life — to receive it again.
لِهَذَا يُحِبُّنِي ٱلْآبُ، لِأَنِّي أَضَعُ نَفْسِي لِآخُذَهَا أَيْضًا.١٧
18 No one took it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to receive it again. This is the command which I received from my Father.”
لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يَأْخُذُهَا مِنِّي، بَلْ أَضَعُهَا أَنَا مِنْ ذَاتِي. لِي سُلْطَانٌ أَنْ أَضَعَهَا وَلِي سُلْطَانٌ أَنْ آخُذَهَا أَيْضًا. هَذِهِ ٱلْوَصِيَّةُ قَبِلْتُهَا مِنْ أَبِي».١٨
19 In consequence of these words a difference of opinion again arose among the Jews.
فَحَدَثَ أَيْضًا ٱنْشِقَاقٌ بَيْنَ ٱلْيَهُودِ بِسَبَبِ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ.١٩
20 Many of them said: “He is possessed by a demon and is mad; why do you listen to him?”
فَقَالَ كَثِيرُونَ مِنْهُمْ: «بِهِ شَيْطَانٌ وَهُوَ يَهْذِي. لِمَاذَا تَسْتَمِعُونَ لَهُ؟».٢٠
21 Others said: “This is not the teaching of one who is possessed by a demon. Can a demon give sight to the blind?”
آخَرُونَ قَالُوا: «لَيْسَ هَذَا كَلَامَ مَنْ بِهِ شَيْطَانٌ. أَلَعَلَّ شَيْطَانًا يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَفْتَحَ أَعْيُنَ ٱلْعُمْيَانِ؟».٢١
22 Soon after this the Festival of the Re-dedication was held at Jerusalem.
وَكَانَ عِيدُ ٱلتَّجْدِيدِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَكَانَ شِتَاءٌ.٢٢
23 It was winter; and Jesus was walking in the Temple Courts, in the Colonnade of Solomon,
وَكَانَ يَسُوعُ يَتَمَشَّى فِي ٱلْهَيْكَلِ فِي رِوَاقِ سُلَيْمَانَ،٢٣
24 when the Jews gathered round him, and said: “How long are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us so frankly.”
فَٱحْتَاطَ بِهِ ٱلْيَهُودُ وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «إِلَى مَتَى تُعَلِّقُ أَنْفُسَنَا؟ إِنْ كُنْتَ أَنْتَ ٱلْمَسِيحَ فَقُلْ لَنَا جَهْرًا».٢٤
25 “I have told you so,” replied Jesus, “and you do not believe me. The work that I am doing in my Father’s name bears testimony to me.
أَجَابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «إِنِّي قُلْتُ لَكُمْ وَلَسْتُمْ تُؤْمِنُونَ. اَلْأَعْمَالُ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا أَعْمَلُهَا بِٱسْمِ أَبِي هِيَ تَشْهَدُ لِي.٢٥
26 But you do not believe me, because you are not of my flock.
وَلَكِنَّكُمْ لَسْتُمْ تُؤْمِنُونَ لِأَنَّكُمْ لَسْتُمْ مِنْ خِرَافِي، كَمَا قُلْتُ لَكُمْ.٢٦
27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me;
خِرَافِي تَسْمَعُ صَوْتِي، وَأَنَا أَعْرِفُهَا فَتَتْبَعُنِي.٢٧
28 and I give them Immortal Life, and they shall not be lost; nor shall any one snatch them out of my hands. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
وَأَنَا أُعْطِيهَا حَيَاةً أَبَدِيَّةً، وَلَنْ تَهْلِكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، وَلَا يَخْطَفُهَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ يَدِي. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)٢٨
29 What my Father has entrusted to me is more than all else; and no one can snatch anything out of the Father’s hands.
أَبِي ٱلَّذِي أَعْطَانِي إِيَّاهَا هُوَ أَعْظَمُ مِنَ ٱلْكُلِّ، وَلَا يَقْدِرُ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَخْطَفَ مِنْ يَدِ أَبِي.٢٩
30 The Father and I are one.”
أَنَا وَٱلْآبُ وَاحِدٌ».٣٠
31 The Jews again brought stones to throw at him;
فَتَنَاوَلَ ٱلْيَهُودُ أَيْضًا حِجَارَةً لِيَرْجُمُوهُ.٣١
32 and seeing this, Jesus said: “I have done before your eyes many good actions, inspired by the Father; for which of them would you stone me?”
أَجَابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أَعْمَالًا كَثِيرَةً حَسَنَةً أَرَيْتُكُمْ مِنْ عِنْدِ أَبِي. بِسَبَبِ أَيِّ عَمَلٍ مِنْهَا تَرْجُمُونَنِي؟».٣٢
33 “It is not for any good action that we would stone you,” answered the Jews, “but for blasphemy; and because you, who are only a man, make yourself out to be God.”
أَجَابَهُ ٱلْيَهُودُ قَائِلِينَ: «لَسْنَا نَرْجُمُكَ لِأَجْلِ عَمَلٍ حَسَنٍ، بَلْ لِأَجْلِ تَجْدِيفٍ، فَإِنَّكَ وَأَنْتَ إِنْسَانٌ تَجْعَلُ نَفْسَكَ إِلَهًا».٣٣
34 “Are there not,” replied Jesus, “these words in your Law — ‘I said “Ye are gods”’?
أَجَابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أَلَيْسَ مَكْتُوبًا فِي نَامُوسِكُمْ: أَنَا قُلْتُ إِنَّكُمْ آلِهَةٌ؟٣٤
35 If those to whom God’s word were addressed were said to be ‘gods’ — and Scripture cannot be set aside —
إِنْ قَالَ آلِهَةٌ لِأُولَئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ صَارَتْ إِلَيْهِمْ كَلِمَةُ ٱللهِ، وَلَا يُمْكِنُ أَنْ يُنْقَضَ ٱلْمَكْتُوبُ،٣٥
36 Do you say of one whom the Father has consecrated and sent as his Messenger to the world ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said ‘I am God’s Son’?
فَٱلَّذِي قَدَّسَهُ ٱلْآبُ وَأَرْسَلَهُ إِلَى ٱلْعَالَمِ، أَتَقُولُونَ لَهُ: إِنَّكَ تُجَدِّفُ، لِأَنِّي قُلْتُ: إِنِّي ٱبْنُ ٱللهِ؟٣٦
37 If I am not doing the work that my Father is doing, do not believe me;
إِنْ كُنْتُ لَسْتُ أَعْمَلُ أَعْمَالَ أَبِي فَلَا تُؤْمِنُوا بِي.٣٧
38 if I am doing it, even though you do not believe me, believe what that work shows; so that you may understand, and understand more and more clearly, that the Father is in union with me, and I with the Father.”
وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كُنْتُ أَعْمَلُ، فَإِنْ لَمْ تُؤْمِنُوا بِي فَآمِنُوا بِٱلْأَعْمَالِ، لِكَيْ تَعْرِفُوا وَتُؤْمِنُوا أَنَّ ٱلْآبَ فِيَّ وَأَنَا فِيهِ».٣٨
39 Upon this the Jews again sought to arrest him; but he escaped their hands.
فَطَلَبُوا أَيْضًا أَنْ يُمْسِكُوهُ فَخَرَجَ مِنْ أَيْدِيهِمْ،٣٩
40 Then Jesus again crossed the Jordan to the place where John used to baptize at first, and stayed there some time, during which many people came to see him.
وَمَضَى أَيْضًا إِلَى عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ إِلَى ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ يُوحَنَّا يُعَمِّدُ فِيهِ أَوَّلًا وَمَكَثَ هُنَاكَ.٤٠
41 “John gave no sign of his mission,” they said; “but everything that he said about this man was true.”
فَأَتَى إِلَيْهِ كَثِيرُونَ وَقَالُوا: «إِنَّ يُوحَنَّا لَمْ يَفْعَلْ آيَةً وَاحِدَةً، وَلَكِنْ كُلُّ مَا قَالَهُ يُوحَنَّا عَنْ هَذَا كَانَ حَقًّا».٤١
42 And many learned to believe in Jesus there.
فَآمَنَ كَثِيرُونَ بِهِ هُنَاكَ.٤٢
