Yanisa Mishiracho 10
1 Ta intes tummu gays, doorssata yire penggerape attin hara baggara guupi geliizaay kaysoone bonqqizzade.
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;
2 Penggera geliizadey izi doorssata hemmiizade.
but the man who goes in through the door is shepherd to the sheep.
3 Penggee nagzadey izas penggezza doyees, doorssatka iza qaala syeetes, ba doorssata sunththara sunththara xeeygi keesses.
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.
4 Beyta wursi kessidape guyee istta sinthth adhidi kalethees, doorssatika iza qaala erriza gish iza kaletees.
When he has brought them all out, he walks in front of them, and his sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
5 Immatha urra iza qaala errontta gish izafe baqatetes, attin muleka iza kaletena.
They will not follow a stranger, but will run away from him; because they do not know a stranger’s voice.”
6 yesussay hessa lemisoza isttas yootdes, shin istt qasse izi isttas yootdaysa aykoka erribeytena.
This was the allegory that Jesus told them, but they did not understand of what he was speaking.
7 hessa gish yesussay qasseka isttas hizzgdes, “ta isttas tummu gays doorssat penggey tana.
So he continued: “In truth I tell you, I am the Door for the sheep.
8 Tape kasse ydayt wuri kaysoone bonqqzayta doorssat gidkoo istt giza siybetena
All who came before me were thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not listen to them.
9 Pengeey tana ta, ta bagara gelizadey wuri attana, gelanane kezana hemmetizasoka demmana.
I am the Door; he who goes in through me will be safe, and he will go in and out and find pasture.
10 Kaysooy kaysootana wodhanasine dhaysanas xaala yees, ta gidiko intes deyooy dana malane intes kehi darana mala yadsi.
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.
11 Ta loo7o hemmizzade, loo7o hemiizzdey ba shmppo ba doorssata gish aththi immees.
I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down his life for his sheep.
12 Mishshera qaxxaretdii himmizadey gidiko doorssat izas gidoontta gish sudhumey yizza woode doorssaatii yegidii bess baqaates, sudhumeyka doorssata daf daf meesene laales.
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.
13 Baqattza mishshan qaxxarettdadee gidida gishine doorssatas michchetonttagishasa gshasa.
He does this because he is only a hired man and does not care about the sheep.
14 Loo7o hemmizadeey tana tani ta doorssata errays, isttika tana erretes.
I am the Good Shepherd; and I know my sheep, and my sheep know me —
15 Hesika aaway tana errizaysa mala tan ta shemppota doorssata gish aththa immana.
Just as the Father knows me and I know the Father — and I lay down my life for the sheep.
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.
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.’
17 Ta zaarada denththanas ta shemppo ta aththa immiza gish ta aaway tana dooses.
This is why the Father loves me, because I lay down my life — to receive it 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 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.”
19 Hessa he qaalape denddaysan ayhudata garssan qasseka shaketeth medhetdees.
In consequence of these words a difference of opinion again arose among the Jews.
20 Daroo asay “iza bolla daydanthth diza gishine gooshu gidida gish inte izi gizaysa ays syeeti? gida.
Many of them said: “He is possessed by a demon and is mad; why do you listen to him?”
21 Baaggayti qasse “haysii daydanththi dizaddey hayssa mala gideena, daydanthth qooqda ayfe paththi errize? gida.
Others said: “This is not the teaching of one who is possessed by a demon. Can a demon give sight to the blind?”
22 Yerusalamen xoossa keehta oratho ba77ele boncho woodey gakkides, woodeyka gaalas.
Soon after this the Festival of the Re-dedication was held at Jerusalem.
23 Yesussay Xoossa keethth giibe gidon seloomoney simmeretzaso geetetzasora adhishshin.
It was winter; and Jesus was walking in the Temple Courts, in the Colonnade of Solomon,
24 Ayhudati iza gidoo aththidi “ne aydee gakanas nu wozzna hirggan gammiisanee? ne Xoos kittidade gidikoo nus qoonccsa yoota gida.
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.”
25 Yesussayka isttas hizzgdees “ta intes yootadiskkoo shin inte qasse ammanibeykeista, ta aawa sunththan ta oththiza malatatii ta gish yootetes.
“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.
26 Inte qasse ta doorssata gidoontta gish tana ammanekista.
But you do not believe me, because you are not of my flock.
27 Ta doorssatii ta qaala siyetes, taka istta errays, isttikka tana kaalletes.
My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me;
29 Tas istta immida ta aaway wurisofee adhes, ta aawa kushshepe istta oonnika bonqqanas danddaena.
What my Father has entrusted to me is more than all else; and no one can snatch anything out of the Father’s hands.
30 “Tanine ta aaway nu issino.”
The Father and I are one.”
31 Ayhudati iza caadanas qasseka shuchchu denththida.
The Jews again brought stones to throw at him;
32 Yesussayka “aawape gidida daroo gita malatata ta intena bessads, histtin ha ta besidaytape awari gish tana shuchchara caadeti? gides.
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?”
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.
“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.”
34 Yesussayka isttas hizzgdes “inte wooga gidon (ta intena xoossata gadis) geeteti xaafetibeyne?
“Are there not,” replied Jesus, “these words in your Law — ‘I said “Ye are gods”’?
35 Xoossa qaalay isttas yida asata (xoossu gikoone maxaafay sharistanas danddaontta gidikoo.)
If those to whom God’s word were addressed were said to be ‘gods’ — and Scripture cannot be set aside —
36 Histtin (ta Xoossa na) gida gish aaway ba shaaki dummasidaysane ha duge allame kittidaysa inte ne caayadasa gidi tana wordo aazas mooteti?
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’?
37 Ta aaway ooththizaysa ta oosontta aggkoo tanan ammanopite.
If I am not doing the work that my Father is doing, do not believe 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.”
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.”
39 Qasseka istti iza oykanas paacciida shin izi istta kushshepe keesi ekii bidees.
Upon this the Jews again sought to arrest him; but he escaped their hands.
40 Hessafe guye Yesussay, Yanssaay kasse xammaqzasoo gede yoridanosepe he pinthth simmid hen gammides.
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.
41 Daroo asay izako yides, istti qasse “Yanssay issi malataka ooththibeyna, gidoo attin hayssa addeza gish izi yootdaysi wurikka tummuko” gida.
“John gave no sign of his mission,” they said; “but everything that he said about this man was true.”
42 Henkka daroo asay Yesussan ammanides.
And many learned to believe in Jesus there.
