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.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2 Mũndũ ũrĩa ũtoonyaga na kĩhingo nĩwe mũrĩithi wa ngʼondu ciake.
But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 Mũrangĩri nĩamũhingũragĩra kĩhingo, nacio ngʼondu nĩithikagĩrĩria mũgambo wake. Eetaga ngʼondu ciake na marĩĩtwa, na agaciumagaria.
To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep 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 he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
5 No itirĩ hĩndĩ ingĩrũmĩrĩra mũgeni; ũrĩa kũrĩ nĩ atĩ nĩikũmũũrĩra, tondũ itiũĩ mũgambo wa mũgeni.”
And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
6 Jesũ aahũthĩrire ngerekano ĩyo, no matiigana gũtaũkĩrwo nĩ ũrĩa aameeraga.
This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
7 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jesũ akiuga o rĩngĩ atĩrĩ, “Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, Niĩ nĩ niĩ kĩhingo kĩa ngʼondu.
Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 Arĩa othe mookire mbere yakwa maarĩ aici na atunyani, no ngʼondu itiigana kũmathikĩrĩria.
All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
9 Niĩ nĩ niĩ kĩhingo; ũrĩa wothe ũtoonyagĩra harĩ niĩ nĩakahonoka. Agaatoonyaga na akoima, na onage gĩa kũrĩa.
I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
10 Mũici okaga tu nĩgeetha aiye, na orage, na anange; niĩ njũkĩte nĩguo magĩe na muoyo, na magĩe naguo kũna.
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly.
11 “Niĩ nĩ niĩ mũrĩithi ũrĩa mwega. Mũrĩithi ũrĩa mwega arutaga muoyo wake nĩ ũndũ wa ngʼondu.
I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
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 he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
13 Mũndũ ũcio oraga tondũ we nĩ wa kwandĩkwo, na ndarũmbũyanagia na ũhoro wa ngʼondu.
The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
14 “Niĩ nĩ niĩ mũrĩithi ũrĩa mwega; nĩnjũũĩ ngʼondu ciakwa, nacio ngʼondu ciakwa nĩcinjũũĩ,
I am the good shepherd, and know my [sheep], and am known 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, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
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.
And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, [and] one shepherd.
17 Gĩtũmi kĩa Baba kũnyenda nĩ ũndũ nĩndutĩte muoyo wakwa nĩgeetha njooke ndĩwoe rĩngĩ.
Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
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 down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
19 Maigua ciugo icio, Ayahudi makĩamũkana o rĩngĩ.
There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.
20 Aingĩ ao makiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũyũ arĩ na ndaimono na akagũrũka. Mũkũmũthikĩrĩria nĩkĩ?”
And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?
21 No angĩ makiuga atĩrĩ, “Ĩno ti mĩario ya mũndũ ũrĩ na ndaimono. Ndaimono no ĩhingũre maitho ma mũtumumu?”
Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
22 Ningĩ gũkĩgĩa na Gĩathĩ gĩa Kwamũrwo kũu Jerusalemu. Kwarĩ kĩmera kĩa heho,
And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.
23 nake Jesũ aarĩ hekarũ-inĩ agĩceraceera gĩthaku-inĩ gĩa Solomoni.
And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch.
24 Nao Ayahudi makĩmũrigiicĩria makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũgũtũũra ũtũigĩte na nganja nginya rĩ? Angĩkorwo nĩwe Kristũ-rĩ, twĩre ũtekũhitha.”
Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
25 Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩndĩmwĩrĩte, no mũtiĩtĩkagia. Ciama iria ningaga na rĩĩtwa rĩa Baba nĩcinjaragĩrĩria,
Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me.
26 no inyuĩ mũtiĩtĩkagia tondũ mũtirĩ ngʼondu ciakwa.
But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
27 Ngʼondu ciakwa nĩithikagĩrĩria mũgambo wakwa; nĩndĩciũĩ, nacio nĩcinũmagĩrĩra.
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
29 Baba ũrĩa waheire cio, nĩ mũnene kũrĩ othe; gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩcigutha kuuma moko-inĩ ma Baba.
My Father, which gave [them] me, is greater than all; and no [man] is able to pluck [them] out of my Father’s hand.
30 Niĩ na Baba tũrĩ ũmwe.”
I and [my] Father are one.
31 O rĩngĩ Ayahudi makĩoya mahiga nĩguo mamũhũũre namo nyuguto,
Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
32 nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Nĩndĩmuonetie ciama nyingĩ nene kuuma kũrĩ Baba. Nĩ kĩama kĩrĩkũ gĩacio mũrenda kũũhũrĩra na mahiga nyuguto?”
Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do 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 Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
34 Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Githĩ gũtiandĩkĩtwo Watho-inĩ wanyu atĩrĩ, ‘Ndoigire inyuĩ mũrĩ ngai’?
Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
35 Angĩkorwo aametire ‘ngai’, o acio kiugo kĩa Ngai gĩokire kũrĩ o, (na Maandĩko matheru matingĩaga kũhingio)
If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, 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, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
37 Ingĩaga gwĩka ũrĩa Baba ekaga mũtikanjĩtĩkie.
If I do not the works of my Father, believe 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 do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father [is] in me, and I in him.
39 Na o rĩngĩ makĩgeria kũmũnyiita, nowe akĩĩhonokia kuuma moko-inĩ mao.
Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand,
40 Ningĩ Jesũ agĩcooka mũrĩmo ũũrĩa ũngĩ wa Jorodani, harĩa Johana aabatithanagĩria matukũ-inĩ ma mbere. Agiĩkara kũu,
And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he 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 unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true.
42 Na andũ aingĩ a kũu magĩĩtĩkia Jesũ.
And many believed on him there.
