Yanisa Mishiracho 10
1 Ta intes tummu gays, doorssata yire penggerape attin hara baggara guupi geliizaay kaysoone bonqqizzade.
[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.
2 Penggera geliizadey izi doorssata hemmiizade.
The man who enters [the pen] through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 Penggee nagzadey izas penggezza doyees, doorssatka iza qaala syeetes, ba doorssata sunththara sunththara xeeygi keesses.
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].
4 Beyta wursi kessidape guyee istta sinthth adhidi kalethees, doorssatika iza qaala erriza gish iza kaletees.
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.
5 Immatha urra iza qaala errontta gish izafe baqatetes, attin muleka iza kaletena.
But they will never follow a stranger. Instead, they will run away from him, because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.”
6 yesussay hessa lemisoza isttas yootdes, shin istt qasse izi isttas yootdaysa aykoka erribeytena.
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.
7 hessa gish yesussay qasseka isttas hizzgdes, “ta isttas tummu gays doorssat penggey tana.
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].
8 Tape kasse ydayt wuri kaysoone bonqqzayta doorssat gidkoo istt giza siybetena
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.
9 Pengeey tana ta, ta bagara gelizadey wuri attana, gelanane kezana hemmetizasoka demmana.
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].
10 Kaysooy kaysootana wodhanasine dhaysanas xaala yees, ta gidiko intes deyooy dana malane intes kehi darana mala yadsi.
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].
11 Ta loo7o hemmizzade, loo7o hemiizzdey ba shmppo ba doorssata gish aththi immees.
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].
12 Mishshera qaxxaretdii himmizadey gidiko doorssat izas gidoontta gish sudhumey yizza woode doorssaatii yegidii bess baqaates, sudhumeyka doorssata daf daf meesene laales.
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.
13 Baqattza mishshan qaxxarettdadee gidida gishine doorssatas michchetonttagishasa gshasa.
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].
14 Loo7o hemmizadeey tana tani ta doorssata errays, isttika tana erretes.
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
15 Hesika aaway tana errizaysa mala tan ta shemppota doorssata gish aththa immana.
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].
16 Hayssa ha doorssa yren geloonttayt tas hara doorssat deetes, ta isttaskka ha ehanaas tas beeses, isttika ta qaala siyanane issi mehe gidana, hemmiizayskka isadee gidana.
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.
17 Ta zaarada denththanas ta shemppo ta aththa immiza gish ta aaway tana dooses.
The reason [my] Father loves me is that I will sacrifice my life. But [after I do that], I will become alive again.
18 Tani ta shemppo ta dossara aththa immadsi attin oonnika tape woothii ekkeena, ta aththa immanas gidiin woykoo zaara denththans gidiin sheeney tassa, hessa he azazoza ta ta aawape ekkadis.
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.”
19 Hessa he qaalape denddaysan ayhudata garssan qasseka shaketeth medhetdees.
After hearing these words [that Jesus said], the Jews were divided again.
20 Daroo asay “iza bolla daydanthth diza gishine gooshu gidida gish inte izi gizaysa ays syeeti? gida.
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]”
21 Baaggayti qasse “haysii daydanththi dizaddey hayssa mala gideena, daydanthth qooqda ayfe paththi errize? gida.
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]”
22 Yerusalamen xoossa keehta oratho ba77ele boncho woodey gakkides, woodeyka gaalas.
Then it was time for the celebration [to remember when our ancestors] rededicated [the Temple in Jerusalem]. It was in winter.
23 Yesussay Xoossa keethth giibe gidon seloomoney simmeretzaso geetetzasora adhishshin.
Jesus was in the Temple [courtyard], walking in [the place that people called King] Solomon’s porch.
24 Ayhudati iza gidoo aththidi “ne aydee gakanas nu wozzna hirggan gammiisanee? ne Xoos kittidade gidikoo nus qoonccsa yoota gida.
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!”
25 Yesussayka isttas hizzgdees “ta intes yootadiskkoo shin inte qasse ammanibeykeista, ta aawa sunththan ta oththiza malatatii ta gish yootetes.
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].
26 Inte qasse ta doorssata gidoontta gish tana ammanekista.
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].
27 Ta doorssatii ta qaala siyetes, taka istta errays, isttikka tana kaalletes.
[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.
29 Tas istta immida ta aaway wurisofee adhes, ta aawa kushshepe istta oonnika bonqqanas danddaena.
[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].
30 “Tanine ta aaway nu issino.”
[My] father and I are equal.”
31 Ayhudati iza caadanas qasseka shuchchu denththida.
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].
32 Yesussayka “aawape gidida daroo gita malatata ta intena bessads, histtin ha ta besidaytape awari gish tana shuchchara caadeti? gides.
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?”
33 Ayudatiika “nu nena shuchchara caadizay ne coo asi gida dashe nena nerkka xoossu kessada caashsha qaala ne hasaida gishshasape attin ne loo7o ooththidaysa gish gideena” gidii izas zaarida.
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!”
34 Yesussayka isttas hizzgdes “inte wooga gidon (ta intena xoossata gadis) geeteti xaafetibeyne?
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.’
35 Xoossa qaalay isttas yida asata (xoossu gikoone maxaafay sharistanas danddaontta gidikoo.)
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}.
36 Histtin (ta Xoossa na) gida gish aaway ba shaaki dummasidaysane ha duge allame kittidaysa inte ne caayadasa gidi tana wordo aazas mooteti?
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]
37 Ta aaway ooththizaysa ta oosontta aggkoo tanan ammanopite.
If I were not doing the miracles that my Father [told me to do, I would not expect] you to believe in me.
38 Ta izaththo ooththiza gidiko inte tana ammanontta aggikoka ta aaway tanan dizaysa taka izan dizaysa inte errana malane yuush qoopana mala izi ooththida malatan ammanite.”
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.”
39 Qasseka istti iza oykanas paacciida shin izi istta kushshepe keesi ekii bidees.
After they heard that, they tried to seize him again, but he got away from them.
40 Hessafe guye Yesussay, Yanssaay kasse xammaqzasoo gede yoridanosepe he pinthth simmid hen gammides.
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].
41 Daroo asay izako yides, istti qasse “Yanssay issi malataka ooththibeyna, gidoo attin hayssa addeza gish izi yootdaysi wurikka tummuko” gida.
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!”
42 Henkka daroo asay Yesussan ammanides.
Many people [who came] there believed ([that Jesus was the Messiah/that Jesus truly had come from God]).
