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.
AMEN, amen, I say to you, Whosoever entereth not by the door into the fold of the flock, but ascendeth by another place, he is a thief and a robber.
2 Mũndũ ũrĩa ũtoonyaga na kĩhingo nĩwe mũrĩithi wa ngʼondu ciake.
But he who entereth by the door, he is the shepherd of the flock.
3 Mũrangĩri nĩamũhingũragĩra kĩhingo, nacio ngʼondu nĩithikagĩrĩria mũgambo wake. Eetaga ngʼondu ciake na marĩĩtwa, na agaciumagaria.
And to him the keeper of the gate openeth the gate, and the flock heareth his voice, and his sheep he calleth by their names, and he leadeth them forth;
4 Aarĩkia kuumia iria irĩ ciake ciothe-rĩ, acitongoragia, nacio ngʼondu ciake ikamũrũmĩrĩra, tondũ nĩciũĩ mũgambo wake.
and when his flock hath gone forth, he goeth before it, and his 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 after a stranger the flock goeth not, but it fleeth from him; for it knoweth not the voice of a stranger.
6 Jesũ aahũthĩrire ngerekano ĩyo, no matiigana gũtaũkĩrwo nĩ ũrĩa aameeraga.
This parable spake Jeshu to them, but they knew not what he said with them.
7 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jesũ akiuga o rĩngĩ atĩrĩ, “Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, Niĩ nĩ niĩ kĩhingo kĩa ngʼondu.
Jeshu saith to them again, Amen, amen, I say to you, I am the gate of the flock;
8 Arĩa othe mookire mbere yakwa maarĩ aici na atunyani, no ngʼondu itiigana kũmathikĩrĩria.
and all those who have come were thieves and robbers, but the flock heard them not.
9 Niĩ nĩ niĩ kĩhingo; ũrĩa wothe ũtoonyagĩra harĩ niĩ nĩakahonoka. Agaatoonyaga na akoima, na onage gĩa kũrĩa.
I am the gate; by me if any man enter, he shall live and shall come in, and go 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 to steal and to kill and destroy: I am come that they may have life, and that which is more.
11 “Niĩ nĩ niĩ mũrĩithi ũrĩa mwega. Mũrĩithi ũrĩa mwega arutaga muoyo wake nĩ ũndũ wa ngʼondu.
I am the good shepherd, and the good shepherd his life layeth down for his flock.
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 who is not the shepherd, and whose the sheep are not, when he seeth the wolf coming, leaveth the flock and fleeth; and the wolf cometh ravaging and destroying the flock.
13 Mũndũ ũcio oraga tondũ we nĩ wa kwandĩkwo, na ndarũmbũyanagia na ũhoro wa ngʼondu.
But the hireling fleeth because he is an hireling, and careth not for the flock.
14 “Niĩ nĩ niĩ mũrĩithi ũrĩa mwega; nĩnjũũĩ ngʼondu ciakwa, nacio ngʼondu ciakwa nĩcinjũũĩ,
I am the good shepherd, and know my own, and am known of my own.
15 o ta ũrĩa Baba anjũũĩ, na niĩ ngamenya Baba, na nĩndutĩte muoyo wakwa nĩ ũndũ wa ngʼondu.
As my Father knoweth me (and) I know my Father, and my life I lay down for the flock.
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.
But I have other sheep also which are not of this fold; and these also it behoveth me to bring, and they will hear my voice, and all shall become one flock and one shepherd.
17 Gĩtũmi kĩa Baba kũnyenda nĩ ũndũ nĩndutĩte muoyo wakwa nĩgeetha njooke ndĩwoe rĩngĩ.
On this account my Father loveth me, because I lay down my life again to take 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 man taketh it away from me, but I lay it down from my will; for I am able to lay it down, and I am able to take it again; for this commandment have I received from my Father.
19 Maigua ciugo icio, Ayahudi makĩamũkana o rĩngĩ.
And there was again a division among the Jihudoyee because of his words:
20 Aingĩ ao makiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũyũ arĩ na ndaimono na akagũrũka. Mũkũmũthikĩrĩria nĩkĩ?”
and many of them said, He has a devil, and is altogether insane, why do you hear him?
21 No angĩ makiuga atĩrĩ, “Ĩno ti mĩario ya mũndũ ũrĩ na ndaimono. Ndaimono no ĩhingũre maitho ma mũtumumu?”
But others said, These words are not of a demoniac: how can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
22 Ningĩ gũkĩgĩa na Gĩathĩ gĩa Kwamũrwo kũu Jerusalemu. Kwarĩ kĩmera kĩa heho,
IT was the feast of the renovation at Urishlem,
23 nake Jesũ aarĩ hekarũ-inĩ agĩceraceera gĩthaku-inĩ gĩa Solomoni.
and it was winter. And Jeshu walked in the temple in the portico of Shelumun.
24 Nao Ayahudi makĩmũrigiicĩria makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũgũtũũra ũtũigĩte na nganja nginya rĩ? Angĩkorwo nĩwe Kristũ-rĩ, twĩre ũtekũhitha.”
And the Jihudoyee surrounded him, saying to him, How long takest thou our souls? If thou art the Meshicha, tell us openly.
25 Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩndĩmwĩrĩte, no mũtiĩtĩkagia. Ciama iria ningaga na rĩĩtwa rĩa Baba nĩcinjaragĩrĩria,
Jeshu answered and said to them, I have told you, and you believe not. The works that I do in the name of my Father, these witness for me.
26 no inyuĩ mũtiĩtĩkagia tondũ mũtirĩ ngʼondu ciakwa.
But you believe not, because you are not of my sheep, (even) as I told 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.
For my Father who gave them to me than all is greater; and no man from the hand of my Father can snatch them.
30 Niĩ na Baba tũrĩ ũmwe.”
I and my Father are One.
31 O rĩngĩ Ayahudi makĩoya mahiga nĩguo mamũhũũre namo nyuguto,
And again the Jihudoyee took up 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?”
Jeshu saith to them, Many good works from my Father have I showed you: on account of which of these works do you 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 Jihudoyee say to him, Not on account of the good works do we stone thee, but because thou blasphemest; thou, being a son of man, making thyself Aloha.
34 Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Githĩ gũtiandĩkĩtwo Watho-inĩ wanyu atĩrĩ, ‘Ndoigire inyuĩ mũrĩ ngai’?
Jeshu saith to them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are Alohee?
35 Angĩkorwo aametire ‘ngai’, o acio kiugo kĩa Ngai gĩokire kũrĩ o, (na Maandĩko matheru matingĩaga kũhingio)
If them he calleth Alohee, because with them was the word of Aloha, and the scripture cannot be loosed,
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’?
to him whom the Father hath sanctified and sent into the world, say you, Thou blasphemest, because I have said to you, I am the Son of Aloha?
37 Ingĩaga gwĩka ũrĩa Baba ekaga mũtikanjĩtĩkie.
And 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 you believe not me, the works believe, that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and (that) I (am) in the Father.
39 Na o rĩngĩ makĩgeria kũmũnyiita, nowe akĩĩhonokia kuuma moko-inĩ mao.
And they sought again to apprehend him; but he went forth from among their hands:
40 Ningĩ Jesũ agĩcooka mũrĩmo ũũrĩa ũngĩ wa Jorodani, harĩa Johana aabatithanagĩria matukũ-inĩ ma mbere. Agiĩkara kũu,
and he went beyond Jurdan, to the place where Juchanon at first had baptized, and was 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 to him, and said, Juchanon did not one sign; but every thing which Juchanon said concerning this man was true.
42 Na andũ aingĩ a kũu magĩĩtĩkia Jesũ.
And many believed in him.
