John 10
1 “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter through the gate into the sheep pen, but climbs up some other way, that man is a thief and a robber.
“Le fa e le mang yo o ganang go tsena ka kgoro mo lesakeng la dinku, yo o tlolelang ka lokotswana, o tshwanetse tota a be a le legodu.
2 He who enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.
Gonne modisa o tsena ka kgoro.
3 The gatekeeper opens for him. The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
Motlhokomedi wa kgoro o a e mmulela, mme dinku di utlwa lentswe la gagwe jalo di tle kwa go ene; mme a bitse dinku tsa gagwe ka maina a di etelele pele di ya kwa ntle.
4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
O tsamaya kwa pele ga tsone; mme di mo sale morago, gonne di tlhaloganya lentswe la gagwe.
5 They will not follow a stranger but instead they will avoid him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.”
Ga di kitla di sala moeng morago, mme di tlaa mo phatlalalela, gonne ga di itse lentswe la gagwe.”
6 Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they did not understand what these things were that he was saying to them.
Ba ba neng ba utlwa Jesu a dirisa setshwantsho se ba ne ba seka ba tlhaloganya se a se rayang.
7 Then Jesus said to them again, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the gate of the sheep.
Mme a se ba tlhalosetsa a re, “Ke nna Kgoro ya dinku.
8 Everyone who came before me is a thief and a robber, but the sheep did not listen to them.
Botlhe ba bangwe ba ba tsileng pele ga me e ne e le magodu le dinokwane. Mme dinku tsa boammaaruri ga di ise di ke di ba reetse.
9 I am the gate. If anyone enters in through me, he will be saved; he will go in and out and will find pasture.
Ee, ke nna Kgoro. Ba ba tsenang ka Kgoro ba tlaa bolokwa mme ba tlaa tsena ba bo ba tswa mme ba tlaa bona mafulo a matalana.
10 The thief does not come if he would not steal and kill and destroy. I have come so that they will have life and have it abundantly.
Maikaelelo a legodu ke go utswa, le go bolaya le go senya. Mme nna maikaelelo a me ke go aba botshelo jo bo sa khutleng ka letlotlo.
11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
“Ke Modisa yo o Molemo. Modisa yo o molemo o ntshetsa dinku botshelo jwa gagwe.
12 The hired servant is not a shepherd and does not own the sheep. He sees the wolf coming and abandons the sheep and escapes, and the wolf carries them off and scatters them.
Motho yo o thapilweng o tlaa sia a tlogela dinku fa a bona phiri e tla, gonne ga se tsa gagwe ebile ga se modisa wa tsone. Mme jalo phiri e di tlolele e phatlalatse letsomane.
13 He runs away because he is a hired servant and does not care for the sheep.
Motho yo o thapilweng o sia ka ntlha ya gore o thapilwe, le ka ntlha ya gore ga a kgathalele dinku thata.
14 I am the good shepherd, and I know my own, and my own know me.
“Ke Modisa yo o Molemo ebile ke itse dinku tsa me, le tsone di a nkitse.
15 The Father knows me, and I know the Father, and I lay down my life for the sheep.
Fela jaaka Rara a nkitse le nna ke itse Rara; jalo ke ntshetsa dinku botshelo jwa me.
16 I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also, and they will hear my voice so that there will be one flock and one shepherd.
Ke na le dinku tse dingwe mo lesakeng le lengwe. Le tsone ke tshwanetse go di lere, mme di tlaa utlwa lentswe la me; jalo go tlaa nna letsomane le le lengwe ka fa tlase ga tlhokomelo ya Modisa a le mongwe fela.
17 This is why the Father loves me: I lay down my life so that I may take it again.
“Rara o a nthata gonne ke ntsha botshelo jwa me setlhabelo gore ke tle ke nne le jone gape.
18 No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. I have received this command from my Father.”
Ga go na ope yo o ka mpolayang kwa ntle ga go rata ga me. Ke ntsha botshelo jwa me setlhabelo ka bonna. Gonne ke na le tshwanelo le nonofo ya go bo ntsha setlhabelo fa ke batla le tshwanelo le nonofo ya go bo tsaya gape. Gonne Rara o nneile tshwanelo e.”
19 A division again occurred among the Jews because of these words.
Erile fa a bua jaana, baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba kgaogana mo megopolong gape ka ga gagwe.
20 Many of them said, “He has a demon and is insane. Why do you listen to him?”
Bangwe ba bone ba re, “O na le mowa o o maswe eseng jalo o a tsenwa. Ke eng re reetsa motho yo o ntseng jalo?”
21 Others said, “These are not the words of a demon-possessed man. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”
Ba bangwe ba re, “Mo go rona golo mo ga go utlwale go buiwa ke motho yo o tsenweng ke mowa o o maswe! A mowa o o maswe o ka foufolola matlho a difofu?”
22 Then it was time for the Festival of the Dedication in Jerusalem.
Go ne go le mariga, fa Jesu a le mo Jerusalema ka lebaka lwa Moletlo wa Boshafatso. O ne a le kwa Tempeleng, a raletse golo fa go bidiwang Mathudi a ga Solomone.
23 It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple in the porch of Solomon.
24 Then the Jews surrounded him and said to him, “How long will you hold us doubting? If you are the Christ, tell us openly.”
Baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba mo dikgaganyetsa mme ba mmotsa ba re, “O tlaa re baya mo lefifing la bosena-kitso fitlhelela leng? Fa e le gore o Mesia re bolelele sentle.”
25 Jesus replied to them, “I told you, but you do not believe. The works that I do in the name of my Father, these testify concerning me.
Mme Jesu a ba raya are, “Ke setse ke lo bole-letse, mme ga lo ntumele. Sesupo ke dikgakgamatso tse ke di dirang ka leina la ga Rara.
26 Yet you do not believe because you are not my sheep.
Mme ga lo ntumele gonne ga lo ba letsomane la me.
27 My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me.
Dinku tsa me di itse lentswe la me, le nna ke a di itse, mme dintshala morago.
29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all others, and no one is able to snatch them out of the hand of the Father.
gonne Rara o di nneile, mme o nonofile go feta mongwe le mongwe, jalo he ga go na ope yo o ka di utswang mo go nna.
30 I and the Father are one.”
Nna le Rara re selo se le sengwe.”
31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
Mme gape baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba sela matlapa go mmolaya.
32 Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of those works are you stoning me?”
Jesu a ba raya a re, “E fa kaelong ya Modimo ke dirile dikgakgamatso di le dintsi go thusa batho. Lo mpolaela kgakgamatso efe?”
33 The Jews answered him, “We are not stoning you for any good work, but for blasphemy, because you, a man, are making yourself God.”
Mme ba mo fetola ba re, “Ga re go balaele tiro epe e e siameng, re go bolaela tlhapatso; wena, mothonyana ke wena yo o seng wa sepe o ipiditse gore o Modimo.”
34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, 'I said, “You are gods”'?
Mme a fetola a re, “Mo molaong wa lona gatwe batho ke medimo Jalo he, fa lokwalo, lo lo sa ka keng lwa bua maaka, lo bua ka gore medimo ke batho ba molaetsa wa Modimo o tsileng mo go bone, a lo go bitsa tlhapatso fa yo ene a itshepisitsweng a bile a romilwe mo lefatsheng ke Rara a re, ‘Ke Morwa Modimo?’
35 If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the scripture cannot be broken),
36 do you say to him whom the Father set apart and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God'?
37 If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not believe me.
Se ntumeleng, fa e se fela ke dira dikgakgamatso tsa Modimo.
38 But if I am doing them, even if you do not believe me, believe in the works so that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and that I am in the Father.”
Mme fa ke di dira, di dumeleng lefa lo sa ntumele. Hong lo tlaa dumela tota gore Rara omo go nna, le gore ke mo go Rara.”
39 They tried to seize him again, but he went away out of their hand.
Gape ba leka go mo tshwara. Mme a tsamaya a ba tlogela…
40 He went away again beyond the Jordan to the place where John had first been baptizing, and he stayed there.
Mme a tlhatlogela kwa moseja ga Noka ya Jorodane go nna gaufile lefelo le Johane a neng a kolobeletsa mo go lone lwa ntlha.
41 Many people came to him and they said, “John indeed did no signs, but all the things that John has said about this man are true.”
Mme ba le bantsi ba mo sala morago. Mme ba le bantsi ba mo sala morago. Mme ba dumaduma ba re, “Johane ga a ise a ke a dire dikgakgamatso, mme dipolelelopele tsa gagwe tsotlhe kaga monna yo di diragetse,”
42 Many people believed in him there.
Hong ba le bantsi ba dumela gore ke Mesia.
