< Johana 10 >
1 “Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, mũndũ ũrĩa ũtatoonyaga gĩcegũ kĩa ngʼondu agereire kĩhingo-inĩ, no akahaicĩra handũ hangĩ-rĩ, ũcio nĩ mũici na nĩ mũtunyani.
Verely, verely I say vnto you, Hee that entreth not in by the doore into the sheepefolde, but climeth vp another way, he is a theefe and a robber.
2 Mũndũ ũrĩa ũtoonyaga na kĩhingo nĩwe mũrĩithi wa ngʼondu ciake.
But he that goeth in by the doore, is the shepheard of the sheepe.
3 Mũrangĩri nĩamũhingũragĩra kĩhingo, nacio ngʼondu nĩithikagĩrĩria mũgambo wake. Eetaga ngʼondu ciake na marĩĩtwa, na agaciumagaria.
To him the porter openeth, and the sheepe heare his voyce, and he calleth his owne sheepe by name, and leadeth them out.
4 Aarĩkia kuumia iria irĩ ciake ciothe-rĩ, acitongoragia, nacio ngʼondu ciake ikamũrũmĩrĩra, tondũ nĩciũĩ mũgambo wake.
And when hee hath sent foorth his owne sheepe, he goeth before them, and the sheepe follow him: for they know his voyce.
5 No itirĩ hĩndĩ ingĩrũmĩrĩra mũgeni; ũrĩa kũrĩ nĩ atĩ nĩikũmũũrĩra, tondũ itiũĩ mũgambo wa mũgeni.”
And they will not follow a stranger, but they flee from him: for they know not the voyce of strangers.
6 Jesũ aahũthĩrire ngerekano ĩyo, no matiigana gũtaũkĩrwo nĩ ũrĩa aameeraga.
This parable spake Iesus vnto them: but they vnderstoode not what things they were which he spake vnto them.
7 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jesũ akiuga o rĩngĩ atĩrĩ, “Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, Niĩ nĩ niĩ kĩhingo kĩa ngʼondu.
Then sayd Iesus vnto them againe, Verely, verely I say vnto you, I am that doore of the sheepe.
8 Arĩa othe mookire mbere yakwa maarĩ aici na atunyani, no ngʼondu itiigana kũmathikĩrĩria.
All, that euer came before me, are theeues and robbers: but the sheepe did not heare them.
9 Niĩ nĩ niĩ kĩhingo; ũrĩa wothe ũtoonyagĩra harĩ niĩ nĩakahonoka. Agaatoonyaga na akoima, na onage gĩa kũrĩa.
I am that doore: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saued, and shall go in, and go out, and finde pasture.
10 Mũici okaga tu nĩgeetha aiye, na orage, na anange; niĩ njũkĩte nĩguo magĩe na muoyo, na magĩe naguo kũna.
The theefe commeth not, but for to steale, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might haue life, and haue it in abundance.
11 “Niĩ nĩ niĩ mũrĩithi ũrĩa mwega. Mũrĩithi ũrĩa mwega arutaga muoyo wake nĩ ũndũ wa ngʼondu.
I am that good shepheard: that good shepheard giueth his life for his sheepe.
12 Mũrĩithi wa mũcaara tiwe mũrĩithi ũrĩa mwene ngʼondu. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio rĩrĩa ona njũũi ĩgĩũka, atiganagĩria ngʼondu, akoora. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nayo njũũi ĩgatharĩkĩra rũũru, ĩkarũhurunja.
But an hireling, and hee which is not the shepheard, neither the sheepe are his owne, seeth the wolfe comming, and hee leaueth the sheepe, and fleeth, and the wolfe catcheth them, and scattreth the sheepe.
13 Mũndũ ũcio oraga tondũ we nĩ wa kwandĩkwo, na ndarũmbũyanagia na ũhoro wa ngʼondu.
So the hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheepe.
14 “Niĩ nĩ niĩ mũrĩithi ũrĩa mwega; nĩnjũũĩ ngʼondu ciakwa, nacio ngʼondu ciakwa nĩcinjũũĩ,
I am that good shepheard, and knowe mine, and am knowen of mine.
15 o ta ũrĩa Baba anjũũĩ, na niĩ ngamenya Baba, na nĩndutĩte muoyo wakwa nĩ ũndũ wa ngʼondu.
As the Father knoweth me, so know I the Father: and I lay downe my life for my sheepe.
16 Ndĩ na ngʼondu ingĩ iria itarĩ cia gĩcegũ gĩkĩ. No nginya o nacio ndĩcirehe. O nacio nĩigathikĩrĩria mũgambo wakwa, na gũgaakorwo na rũũru rũmwe, na mũrĩithi ũmwe.
Other sheepe I haue also, which are not of this folde: them also must I bring, and they shall heare my voyce: and there shalbe one sheepefolde, and one shepheard.
17 Gĩtũmi kĩa Baba kũnyenda nĩ ũndũ nĩndutĩte muoyo wakwa nĩgeetha njooke ndĩwoe rĩngĩ.
Therefore doeth my Father loue me, because I lay downe my life, that I might take it againe.
18 Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩndunya guo, no niĩ ngũũruta na kwĩyendera. Ndĩ na ũhoti wa kũũruta, o na ũhoti wa kũwoya rĩngĩ. Watho ũyũ ndaamũkĩrire kuuma kũrĩ Baba.”
No man taketh it from me, but I lay it downe of my selfe: I haue power to lay it downe, and haue power to take it againe: this commandement haue I receiued of my Father.
19 Maigua ciugo icio, Ayahudi makĩamũkana o rĩngĩ.
Then there was a dissension againe among the Iewes for these sayings,
20 Aingĩ ao makiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũyũ arĩ na ndaimono na akagũrũka. Mũkũmũthikĩrĩria nĩkĩ?”
And many of them sayd, He hath a deuill, and is mad: why heare ye him?
21 No angĩ makiuga atĩrĩ, “Ĩno ti mĩario ya mũndũ ũrĩ na ndaimono. Ndaimono no ĩhingũre maitho ma mũtumumu?”
Other sayd, These are not the wordes of him that hath a deuill: can the deuill open the eyes of the blinde?
22 Ningĩ gũkĩgĩa na Gĩathĩ gĩa Kwamũrwo kũu Jerusalemu. Kwarĩ kĩmera kĩa heho,
And it was at Hierusalem the feast of the Dedication, and it was winter.
23 nake Jesũ aarĩ hekarũ-inĩ agĩceraceera gĩthaku-inĩ gĩa Solomoni.
And Iesus walked in the Temple, in Salomons porche.
24 Nao Ayahudi makĩmũrigiicĩria makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũgũtũũra ũtũigĩte na nganja nginya rĩ? Angĩkorwo nĩwe Kristũ-rĩ, twĩre ũtekũhitha.”
Then came the Iewes round about him, and sayd vnto him, Howe long doest thou make vs dout? If thou be that Christ, tell vs plainely.
25 Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩndĩmwĩrĩte, no mũtiĩtĩkagia. Ciama iria ningaga na rĩĩtwa rĩa Baba nĩcinjaragĩrĩria,
Iesus answered them, I tolde you, and ye beleeue not: the workes that I doe in my Fathers Name, they beare witnes of me.
26 no inyuĩ mũtiĩtĩkagia tondũ mũtirĩ ngʼondu ciakwa.
But ye beleeue not: for ye are not of my sheepe, as I sayd vnto you.
27 Ngʼondu ciakwa nĩithikagĩrĩria mũgambo wakwa; nĩndĩciũĩ, nacio nĩcinũmagĩrĩra.
My sheepe heare my voyce, and I knowe them, and they follow me,
28 Nĩndĩciheaga muoyo wa tene na tene, na gũtirĩ hĩndĩ ikoora; gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe ũngĩcigutha kuuma moko-inĩ makwa. (aiōn , aiōnios )
And I giue vnto them eternall life, and they shall neuer perish, neither shall any plucke them out of mine hand. (aiōn , aiōnios )
29 Baba ũrĩa waheire cio, nĩ mũnene kũrĩ othe; gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩcigutha kuuma moko-inĩ ma Baba.
My Father which gaue them me, is greater then all, and none is able to take them out of my Fathers hand.
30 Niĩ na Baba tũrĩ ũmwe.”
I and my Father are one.
31 O rĩngĩ Ayahudi makĩoya mahiga nĩguo mamũhũũre namo nyuguto,
Then ye Iewes againe tooke vp stones, to stone him.
32 nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Nĩndĩmuonetie ciama nyingĩ nene kuuma kũrĩ Baba. Nĩ kĩama kĩrĩkũ gĩacio mũrenda kũũhũrĩra na mahiga nyuguto?”
Iesus answered them, Many good workes haue I shewed you from my Father: for which of these workes doe ye stone me?
33 Nao Ayahudi makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Tũtirakũhũũra na mahiga nyuguto nĩ ũndũ wa o na kĩmwe gĩacio, no nĩ ũndũ wa kũruma Ngai, tondũ wĩtuĩte Ngai na wee ũrĩ o mũndũ.”
The Iewes answered him, saying, For the good worke we stone thee not, but for blasphemie, and that thou being a man, makest thy selfe God.
34 Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Githĩ gũtiandĩkĩtwo Watho-inĩ wanyu atĩrĩ, ‘Ndoigire inyuĩ mũrĩ ngai’?
Iesus answered them, Is it not written in your Lawe, I sayd, Ye are gods?
35 Angĩkorwo aametire ‘ngai’, o acio kiugo kĩa Ngai gĩokire kũrĩ o, (na Maandĩko matheru matingĩaga kũhingio)
If hee called them gods, vnto whome the worde of God was giuen, and the Scripture cannot be broken,
36 ĩ mũndũ ũrĩa Baba aamũrire arĩ wake kũna na akĩmũtũma gũkũ thĩ, ũhoro wake nĩ atĩa? Mũragĩĩthitanga nĩkĩ atĩ nĩndaruma Ngai tondũ nĩndoiga, ‘Ndĩ Mũrũ wa Ngai’?
Say ye of him, whome the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the worlde, Thou blasphemest, because I said, I am the Sonne of God?
37 Ingĩaga gwĩka ũrĩa Baba ekaga mũtikanjĩtĩkie.
If I doe not the workes of my Father, beleeue me not.
38 No o na ingĩĩka ũrĩa ekaga-rĩ, o na gũtuĩka mũtinjĩtĩkĩtie, ĩtĩkiai ciama icio, nĩguo mũmenye na mũtaũkĩrwo atĩ Baba arĩ thĩinĩ wakwa, na niĩ ndĩ thĩinĩ wa Baba.”
But if I doe, then though ye beleeue not mee, yet beleeue the workes, that ye may knowe and beleeue, that the Father is in me, and I in him.
39 Na o rĩngĩ makĩgeria kũmũnyiita, nowe akĩĩhonokia kuuma moko-inĩ mao.
Againe they went about to take him: but he escaped out of their handes,
40 Ningĩ Jesũ agĩcooka mũrĩmo ũũrĩa ũngĩ wa Jorodani, harĩa Johana aabatithanagĩria matukũ-inĩ ma mbere. Agiĩkara kũu,
And went againe beyonde Iordan, into the place where Iohn first baptized, and there abode.
41 nao andũ aingĩ magĩũka kũrĩ we. Nao makiuga atĩrĩ, “O na gũtuĩka Johana ndarĩ kĩama aaringire, ũhoro ũrĩa wothe Johana oigire ũkoniĩ mũndũ ũyũ warĩ wa ma.”
And many resorted vnto him, and saide, Iohn did no miracle: but all thinges that Iohn spake of this man, were true.
42 Na andũ aingĩ a kũu magĩĩtĩkia Jesũ.
And many beleeued in him there.
