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, through the door, into the fold of the sheep, but goeth up from another place, that man, is, a thief, and, a robber.
2 Mũndũ ũrĩa ũtoonyaga na kĩhingo nĩwe mũrĩithi wa ngʼondu ciake.
But, he that entereth through the door, is, 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, unto his voice, hearken: and, his own sheep, he calleth by name, and leadeth them forth.
4 Aarĩkia kuumia iria irĩ ciake ciothe-rĩ, acitongoragia, nacio ngʼondu ciake ikamũrũmĩrĩra, tondũ nĩciũĩ mũgambo wake.
As soon as, all his own, he hath put forth, before them, he moveth on, and, the sheep, follow him, because they know his voice;
5 No itirĩ hĩndĩ ingĩrũmĩrĩra mũgeni; ũrĩa kũrĩ nĩ atĩ nĩikũmũũrĩra, tondũ itiũĩ mũgambo wa mũgeni.”
But, a stranger, will they in nowise follow, but will flee from him, because they know not the voice, of strangers.
6 Jesũ aahũthĩrire ngerekano ĩyo, no matiigana gũtaũkĩrwo nĩ ũrĩa aameeraga.
This similitude, spake Jesus unto them; but, those men, understood not what the things were which he was speaking unto them.
7 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jesũ akiuga o rĩngĩ atĩrĩ, “Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, Niĩ nĩ niĩ kĩhingo kĩa ngʼondu.
Jesus, therefore, said, 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, as many as came before me, are thieves, and, robbers: but the sheep hearkened nor unto them.
9 Niĩ nĩ niĩ kĩhingo; ũrĩa wothe ũtoonyagĩra harĩ niĩ nĩakahonoka. Agaatoonyaga na akoima, na onage gĩa kũrĩa.
I, am the door: through me, if anyone enter, he shall be saved, and shall come in and go out, and, pasture, shall find.
10 Mũici okaga tu nĩgeetha aiye, na orage, na anange; niĩ njũkĩte nĩguo magĩe na muoyo, na magĩe naguo kũna.
The thief, cometh not, save that he may thieve and slay and destroy: I, came, that, life, they might have, and, above measure, might have.
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, his life, layeth down, 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.
The hireling, even because he is no shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, vieweth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth, —and, the wolf, seizeth them and scattereth, —
13 Mũndũ ũcio oraga tondũ we nĩ wa kwandĩkwo, na ndarũmbũyanagia na ũhoro wa ngʼondu.
Because, a hireling, he is, and hath no care 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 own, and, my own, know me, —
15 o ta ũrĩa Baba anjũũĩ, na niĩ ngamenya Baba, na nĩndutĩte muoyo wakwa nĩ ũndũ wa ngʼondu.
Just as, the Father, knoweth me, and, I, know, the Father; and, my life, I lay down 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, have I, which are not of this fold: those also, I must needs bring, and, unto my voice, will they hearken, and there shall come to be, One flock, One shepherd.
17 Gĩtũmi kĩa Baba kũnyenda nĩ ũndũ nĩndutĩte muoyo wakwa nĩgeetha njooke ndĩwoe rĩngĩ.
Therefore, doth the Father, love, me, because, I, lay down my life, that, again, I may receive it: —
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 one, forced it from me, but, I, lay it down, of myself, —Authority, have I, to lay it down, and, authority, have I, again, to receive it: This commandment, received I, from my Father.
19 Maigua ciugo icio, Ayahudi makĩamũkana o rĩngĩ.
A division, again, took place among the Jews, because of these words.
20 Aingĩ ao makiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũyũ arĩ na ndaimono na akagũrũka. Mũkũmũthikĩrĩria nĩkĩ?”
But many from among them were saying—A demon, he hath, and is raving, —Why, unto him, do ye hearken?
21 No angĩ makiuga atĩrĩ, “Ĩno ti mĩario ya mũndũ ũrĩ na ndaimono. Ndaimono no ĩhingũre maitho ma mũtumumu?”
Others, said—These sayings, are not those of one demonized, —Can, a demon, open the eyes of, the blind?
22 Ningĩ gũkĩgĩa na Gĩathĩ gĩa Kwamũrwo kũu Jerusalemu. Kwarĩ kĩmera kĩa heho,
The feast of dedication took place at that time, in Jerusalem: it was, winter,
23 nake Jesũ aarĩ hekarũ-inĩ agĩceraceera gĩthaku-inĩ gĩa Solomoni.
and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the porch of Solomon.
24 Nao Ayahudi makĩmũrigiicĩria makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũgũtũũra ũtũigĩte na nganja nginya rĩ? Angĩkorwo nĩwe Kristũ-rĩ, twĩre ũtekũhitha.”
The Jews, therefore, surrounded him, and were saying unto him—How long, holdest thou, our lives, in suspense? If, thou, art 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 believe not: The works which, I, am doing in the name of my Father, the same, bear witness concerning me.
26 no inyuĩ mũtiĩtĩkagia tondũ mũtirĩ ngʼondu ciakwa.
But, ye, believe not, because ye are not of my sheep.
27 Ngʼondu ciakwa nĩithikagĩrĩria mũgambo wakwa; nĩndĩciũĩ, nacio nĩcinũmagĩrĩra.
My sheep, unto my voice, hearken, —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.
What, my Father, hath given me, is, something greater than all, and, no one, can carry off out of the hand of my Father: —
30 Niĩ na Baba tũrĩ ũmwe.”
I and the Father, are, one.
31 O rĩngĩ Ayahudi makĩoya mahiga nĩguo mamũhũũre namo nyuguto,
The Jews again lifted up stones, that they might 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 works, have I showed you, noble ones, from my Father: For which of those works are ye stoning 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—Concerning a noble work, are we not stoning thee; but concerning profane speech, —and because, thou, being, a man, art making 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, those, he called 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’?
Of him whom, the Father, hallowed and sent forth into the world, are, ye, saying—Thou speakest profanely, because I said, Son of God, I am?
37 Ingĩaga gwĩka ũrĩa Baba ekaga mũtikanjĩtĩkie.
If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not believe in me;
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 am doing them, even though, in me, ye believe not, in the works, believe, —that ye may get to know and go on to know, that the Father is, in me, and, I, am, in the Father.
39 Na o rĩngĩ makĩgeria kũmũnyiita, nowe akĩĩhonokia kuuma moko-inĩ mao.
They were [therefore] again seeking to take him; and he went forth out of their hand.
40 Ningĩ Jesũ agĩcooka mũrĩmo ũũrĩa ũngĩ wa Jorodani, harĩa Johana aabatithanagĩria matukũ-inĩ ma mbere. Agiĩkara kũu,
And he went away again, beyond the Jordan, unto the place where John was at the first, immersing; and he abode there.
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, came unto him, and were saying—John, indeed, did not so much as, one sign; but, all things, whatsoever John said concerning this one, were, true.
42 Na andũ aingĩ a kũu magĩĩtĩkia Jesũ.
And, many, believed on him there.
