< John 10 >

1 "In most solemn truth I tell you that the man who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs over some other way, is a thief and a robber.
Aminiayi, aminiayi nikabhajobhela, jhola jhaijhingila lepi kwa kup'etela ndiangu ghwa zizi lya likondoo, lakini ikwela kwa njela jhenge, munu ojhu meji na mmang'anyi.
2 But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
Muene jha ijhingila pa ndiangu ndo n'dimaji ghwa kondoo.
3 To him the porter opens the door, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by their names and leads them out.
Kwamuene mlinzi ghwa ndiangu akan'dendulila. Kondoo bhakajhip'eleka sauti jha muene kwa mahina gha bhene ni kubhahomesiya kwibhala.
4 When he has brought out his own sheep--all of them--he walks at the head of them; and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
Paibetakubhahomesya kwibhala abhu bha bhajhele bha muene, akabhalongolela, ni kondoo bhakan'kesya, kwa ndabha bhajhimanyili sauti jha jha muene.
5 But a stranger they will by no means follow, but will run away from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers."
Bhibetalepi kun'kesya n'geni lakini badala jhiake bhibetakunjepa, kwandabha bhasimanyilepi sauti sya bhahesya.”
6 Jesus spoke to them in this figurative language, but they did not understand what He meant.
Yesu ajobhili mfano obhu kwa bhene, lakini bhaghayelibhu lepi mambo agha ambagho aghajobhaghe kwa bhene.
7 Again therefore Jesus said to them, "In most solemn truth I tell you that I am the Door of the sheep.
Yesu akajobha nabhu kabhele, “Aminiayi, aminiayi, nikabhajobhela, Nene na ndiangu ghwa kondoo.
8 All who have come before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep would not listen to them.
Bhoha bhanilongolili ndo bhaheji ni bhanyang'anyi, lakini kondoo bhamp'elekisi lepi.
9 I am the Door. If any one enters by me, he will find safety, and will go in and out and find pasture.
Nene na ndiangu. Yejhioha jha ijhingila kup'etela kwa nene, ibetakuokolibhwa; ibetakujhingila mgani ni kuhoma, nu muene ibetakwikabhila malisho.
10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy: I have come that they may have Life, and may have it in abundance.
Meji ihidalepi kup'etela kwa nene kuheja kukoma, ni kujhangamisya. Nihidili ili kwamba bhakabhayi bhuzima na bhajhela nabhu tele.
11 "I am the Good Shepherd. A good shepherd lays down his very life for the sheep.
Nene n'dimaji nnofu. N'dimaji nnofu ibhosya bhuhai bhwa muene, kwa ndabha jha kondoo.
12 The hired servant--one who is not a shepherd and does not own the sheep--no sooner sees the wolf coming than he leaves the sheep and runs away; and the wolf worries and scatters them.
N'tumishi jha aajaribhu, na n'dimaji lepi, ambajhe kondoo mali jha muene lepi, akabhabhona mbwa mwitu bhihida ni kubhaleka ni kubhajumba kondoo.
13 For he is only a hired servant and cares nothing for the sheep.
Ni mbwa mwitu bhakabhakamula ni kubhatawanya. Ghijumba kwa ndabha ndo n'tumishi ghwa kuajiribhwa ni kubhajalilepi kondoo.
14 "I am the Good Shepherd. And I know my sheep and my sheep know me,
Nene na n'dimaji nnofu, na nibhamanyili bhabhajhele bha nene, nabhene bhabhajhele bha nene bhanimanyi nene.
15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I am laying down my life for the sheep.
Dadi animanyi nene, nani nimmanyi muene, nani nikambhosya uhai bhwa jhoni kwa ndabha jha kondoo.
16 I have also other sheep--which do not belong to this fold. Those also I must bring, and they will listen to my voice; and they shall become one flock under one Shepherd.
Nijhenabhu kondoo bhangi ambabho sio bhazinzi e'le. Abhu pia, nilondeka kubhaleta, nabhanu bhibhetakujhip'eleka sauti jha nene ili kwamba pajhiaghe ni likundi limonga ni n'dimaji mmonga.
17 For this reason my Father loves me, because I am laying down my life in order to receive it back again.
Ejhe ndo sababu Dadi aniganili: Niubhosiajhi bhuhai bhwa nene halafu niuletayi kabhele.
18 No one is taking it away from me, but I myself am laying it down. I am authorized to lay it down, and I am authorized to receive it back again. This is the command I received from my Father."
Ajhelepi jhaibetakutola kuhomela kwa nene, lakini nene nikaupisya ne muene. Nijhe ni mamlaka gha kupisya, nanijhe ni mamlaka gha kubhuleta pia. Nilijhamb'elili lilaghisu e'le kuhomela kwa Dadi.”
19 Again there arose a division among the Jews because of these words.
Mgawanyiku kabhele ghwibetakuh'omela kati jha bhayahudi kwandabha jha malobhi agha.
20 Many of them said, "He is possessed by a demon and is mad. Why do you listen to him?"
Bhingi bhakajobha, “Ajhe ni pepo na ig'oloka. Kwandabha jhakiki mkampel'ekesya?”
21 Others argued, "That is not the language of a demoniac: and can a demon open blind men's eyes?"
Bhangi bhakajobha, “Agha sio malobhi gha munu ghwa apagawe ni mapepo. Pepo libhwesya kufungula mihu gha kipofu?”
22 The Dedication Festival came on in Jerusalem. It was winter,
Ndipo ikahida Sikukuu jha Kubhekibhwa Wakfu Yerusalemu.
23 and Jesus was walking in the Temple in Solomon's Portico,
Bhwajhele bhwakati bhwa mepu, ni Yesu ajhele igenda mu lihekalu mu ukumbi bhwa Selemani.
24 when the Jews gathered round Him and kept asking Him, "How long do you mean to keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us so plainly."
Ndipo Bhayahudi bho bhan'syonguiki ni kun'jobhela, “Mpaka ndali wibetakutubheka mu mashaka? kama bhebhe ndo Kristu, tujobhilayi wazi.
25 "I have told you," answered Jesus, "and you do not believe. The deeds that I do in my Father's name--they give testimony about me.
Yesu abhajibili, “Nimali kubhajobhela lakini mwikiera lepi mbombo syanibhomba kwa lihina lya Dadi jhangu, esu sishuhudilajuu jha nene.
26 But you do not believe, because you are not my sheep.
Hata naha, mwikiera lepi kwa ndabha muenga sio kondoo bha nene.
27 My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
Kondoo bha nene bhakajhipeleka sauti jha nene; Nibhamanyili, nabho bhakanikesya nene.
28 I give them the Life of the Ages, and they shall never, never perish, nor shall any one wrest them from my hand. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
Nibhapelili uzima bhwa milele; bhibetalepi kujhangamila kamwe, na ajhelepi hata mmonga jhaibetakunyakula kuhoma mumabhoko ghangu. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
29 What my Father has given me is more precious than all besides; and no one is able to wrest anything from my Father's hand.
Dadi jhangu, jhanipelili abhu, ndo mbaha kuliko bhangi bhoha, na ajhelepi ata mmonga jha ajheni bhuwezo bhwa kubhanyakula mu mabhoko gha Dadi.
30 I and the Father are one."
Nene ni Dadi tujhe pamonga.”
31 Again the Jews brought stones with which to stone Him.
Bhakap'enda maganga ili bhampondayi kabhele.
32 Jesus remonstrated with them. "Many good deeds," He said, "have I shown you as coming from the Father; for which of them are you going to stone me?"
Yesu akabhajibu, “Nimalikubhalasya mbombo simehele sinofu kuhomela kwa Dadi. Kwa mbombo seleku kati jha esu mwilonda kuniponda maganga?”
33 "For no good deed," the Jews replied, "are we going to stone you, but for blasphemy, and because you, who are only a man, are making yourself out to be God."
Bhayahudi bhakan'jibu, “Tukupondalepi maganga kwa mbombo jhinofu, lakini kwa kufuru, kwa ndabha bhebhe, ghwe munu ukifuanya kujha Mungu,”
34 "Does it not stand written in your Law," replied Jesus, "'I said, you are gods'?
Yesu akabhajibu, “Jhalembibhu lepi mu sheria jha muenga, 'Najobhili, “Muenga ndo miungu”'?”
35 If those to whom God's word was addressed are called gods (and the Scripture cannot be annulled),
Ikajha abhakutili miungu, kwa bhala ambabho lilobhi lya K'yara lyabhahidili (ni Majhandiku ghibhwesyalepi kubomolibhwa),
36 how is it that you say to one whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am God's Son'?
mwijobha juu jha hola ambajhe Dadi an'homisi ni kundaghisya ku ulimwengu, 'Ghwikufuru,' kwa ndabha najobhili, 'nene na mwana ghwa K' yara'?
37 If the deeds I do are not my Father's deeds, do not believe me.
Ikajhiajhi nibhomba lepi mbombo sya Dadi jhangu, musin'kieri.
38 But if they are, then even if you do not believe me, at least believe the deeds, that you may know and see clearly that the Father is in me, and that I am in the Father."
Hata ivyo, ikajhiajhi nikasibhomba, hata kama mkanikiera lepi, musikierayi mbombo ili kwamba mubhwesyajhi kumanya kwamba Dadi ajhele mugati mwa nene ni nene nijhele mugati mwa Dadi.”
39 This made them once more try to arrest Him, but He withdrew out of their power.
Bhakajaribu kabhele kun'kamula Yesu, lakini akalota kuhoma mumabhoko gha bhene.
40 Then He went away again to the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John had been baptizing at first; and there He stayed.
Yesu akalota kabhele kwiseli jha Yorodani sehemu ambajho Yohana abatisieghe, ni kutama oku.
41 Large numbers of people also came to Him. Their report was, "John did not work any miracle, but all that John said about this Teacher was true."
Bhanu bhingi bhakahida kwa Yesu. Bhakayendelela kujobha, “Yohana kueli abhombilepi ishara jhejhioha, lakini mambo ghoha gha aghajobhili Yohana juu jha munu ojho ni gha bhukweli.”
42 And many became believers in Him there.
Bhanu bhingi bhakamwamini Yesu apu.
