Jọn 10
1 “Nʼezie, nʼezie, agwa m unu, onye ọbụla na-adịghị esite nʼọnụ ụzọ aba nʼọgba atụrụ kama ọ na-arị elu ka o site nʼelu ụlọ ahụ wufee, bụ onye ohi bụrụkwa onye na-apụnara mmadụ ihe.
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 Onye na-esite nʼọnụ ụzọ abanye bụ onye ọzụzụ atụrụ.
But he that goeth in by the doore, is the shepheard of the sheepe.
3 Onye nche ọnụ ụzọ na-emeghere ya ụzọ, atụrụ ya na-anụkwa olu ya. Ọ na-akpọ atụrụ nke ya aha, ma duru ha pụọ.
To him the porter openeth, and the sheepe heare his voyce, and he calleth his owne sheepe by name, and leadeth them out.
4 Mgbe ọ kpọpụtasịrị ndị niile bụ nke ya, ọ na-aga nʼihu ha. Atụrụ ya na-esokwa ya nʼazụ nʼihi na ha maara olu ya.
And when hee hath sent foorth his owne sheepe, he goeth before them, and the sheepe follow him: for they know his voyce.
5 Ha agaghị eso onye ọbịa, kama ha gbaara ya ọsọ. Nʼihi na ha amaghị olu onye ọbịa.”
And they will not follow a stranger, but they flee from him: for they know not the voyce of strangers.
6 Jisọs ji ihe yiri ihe gwa ha okwu. Ma ha aghọtaghị ihe ọ nọ na-agwa ha.
This parable spake Iesus vnto them: but they vnderstoode not what things they were which he spake vnto them.
7 Ọzọ, Jisọs sịrị, “Nʼezie, nʼezie, ana m agwa unu, mụ onwe m bụ ọnụ ụzọ ọgba atụrụ ahụ.
Then sayd Iesus vnto them againe, Verely, verely I say vnto you, I am that doore of the sheepe.
8 Ndị niile bịara tupu mụ onwe m abịa bụ ndị ohi na ndị na-apụnara mmadụ ihe nʼike. Ụmụ atụrụ aṅakwaghị ha ntị.
All, that euer came before me, are theeues and robbers: but the sheepe did not heare them.
9 Mụ onwe m bụ ụzọ. Onye ọbụla sitere na m banye, a ga-azọpụta ya. Ọ ga na-apụ na-abata na-achọtakwa nri.
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 Onye ohi na-abịa naanị ka o zuo ohi, gbuo ma bibiekwa; abịara m ka ha nwe ndụ ma nwebigakwa ya oke.
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 “Mụ onwe m bụ onye ọzụzụ atụrụ ọma. Ezi onye ọzụzụ atụrụ na-atọgbọ ndụ ya nʼihi atụrụ ya.
I am that good shepheard: that good shepheard giueth his life for his sheepe.
12 Onye e goro ọrụ, nke na-abụghị onye nche atụrụ, onye atụrụ na-abụghị nke ya, ọ na-ahapụ ha gbaa ọsọ mgbe ọ hụrụ agụ ka ọ na-abịa; mgbe ahụ agụ na-achụso atụrụ ahụ chụsasịa ha.
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 Onye e goro ọrụ na-agbapụ, nʼihi na ọ bụ onye e goro ọrụ, ọ naghị echegbu onwe ya banyere atụrụ ndị ahụ.
So the hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheepe.
14 “Abụ m onye ọzụzụ atụrụ ọma; amaara m atụrụ m, atụrụ nke m makwaara m.
I am that good shepheard, and knowe mine, and am knowen of mine.
15 Dị ka Nna ahụ maara m, mụ onwe m makwa Nna ahụ. Ana m atọgbọ ndụ m nʼihi atụrụ ahụ.
As the Father knoweth me, so know I the Father: and I lay downe my life for my sheepe.
16 Enwere m ụmụ atụrụ ọzọ ndị na-anọghị nʼọgba atụrụ a. Aghaghị m ịkpọbatakwa ha. Ha onwe ha ga-anụ olu m, a ga-enwekwa otu igwe atụrụ na otu onye ọzụzụ atụrụ.
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 Maka nke a ka Nna jiri hụ m nʼanya, nʼihi na ana m atọgbọ ndụ m, ka m wereghachikwa ya ọzọ.
Therefore doeth my Father loue me, because I lay downe my life, that I might take it againe.
18 O nweghị onye ọbụla pụrụ ịnara m ya, kama ana m atọgbọ ya nʼike nke onwe m. Enwere m ikike ịtọgbọ ya, nweekwa ikike iwereghachi ya ọzọ. Anatara m iwu a site nʼaka Nna m.”
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 Ọzọkwa, nkewa batara nʼetiti ndị Juu nʼihi okwu ndị a.
Then there was a dissension againe among the Iewes for these sayings,
20 Ọtụtụ nʼime ha na-ekwu, “Ọ bụ onye mmụọ ọjọọ na-achị ya, onye isi mebiri. Ọ bara uru ige ya ntị?”
And many of them sayd, He hath a deuill, and is mad: why heare ye him?
21 Ma ndị ọzọ na-ekwu, “Okwu ndị a adịghị ka nke onye mmụọ ọjọọ bi nʼime ya. Mmụọ ọjọọ o nwere ike ime ka anya onye kpuru ìsì meghee?”
Other sayd, These are not the wordes of him that hath a deuill: can the deuill open the eyes of the blinde?
22 Nʼoge ahụ, mmemme icheta mgbe e doro ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ nsọ ruru na Jerusalem. Ọ bụ oge oke oyi,
And it was at Hierusalem the feast of the Dedication, and it was winter.
23 ma Jisọs nọ na-ejegharị nʼụlọnsọ ukwu, nʼịba Solomọn.
And Iesus walked in the Temple, in Salomons porche.
24 Ndị Juu gbara ya gburugburu sị ya, “Ruo ole mgbe ka ị ga-edebe anyị nʼọnọdụ olileanya? Ọ bụrụ na ị bụ Kraịst ahụ, gwaghee anyị ọnụ.”
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 Jisọs zara ha, “Agwara m unu, ma unu ekweghị. Ọrụ m na-arụ nʼaha Nna m na-agba ama banyere m.
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 Ma unu ekwenyeghị, nʼihi na unu esoghị nʼigwe atụrụ m.
But ye beleeue not: for ye are not of my sheepe, as I sayd vnto you.
27 Atụrụ m na-anụ olu m. Amaara m ha, ha na-esokwa m.
My sheepe heare my voyce, and I knowe them, and they follow me,
29 Nna m onye nyere m ha dị ukwuu karịa ihe niile. O nweghị onye nwere ike ịnapụ ha site nʼaka Nna m.
My Father which gaue them me, is greater then all, and none is able to take them out of my Fathers hand.
30 Mụ na nna m bụ otu.”
I and my Father are one.
31 Ndị Juu tụtụlitekwara nkume ọzọ ịtụ ya.
Then ye Iewes againe tooke vp stones, to stone him.
32 Ma Jisọs zara ha, “E zila m unu ọtụtụ ọrụ ọma nke sitere nʼaka Nna m, olee nke unu na-achọ ịtụ m nkume nʼihi ya?”
Iesus answered them, Many good workes haue I shewed you from my Father: for which of these workes doe ye stone me?
33 Ndị Juu zara ya, “Anyị achọghị ịtụ gị nkume nʼihi ọrụ ọma ndị a, kama nʼihi nkwulu na nʼihi na gị bụ mmadụ efu, ma ị na-eme onwe gị Chineke.”
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 Jisọs zara ha, “Edeghị ya nʼiwu unu, sị, ‘Mụ onwe m sịrị na unu bụ chi’?
Iesus answered them, Is it not written in your Lawe, I sayd, Ye are gods?
35 Ọ bụrụ na a kpọrọ ndị ahụ nabatara okwu Chineke ‘chi,’ apụghịkwa imebi ihe e dere nʼakwụkwọ nsọ.
If hee called them gods, vnto whome the worde of God was giuen, and the Scripture cannot be broken,
36 Unu na-ekwu na onye ahụ Chineke doro nsọ ma zitekwa ya nʼime ụwa na-ekwulu Chineke nʼihi na m sịrị, ‘Abụ m Ọkpara Chineke?’
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 Unu ekwenyela na m, ma ọ bụrụ na ọ bụghị ọrụ Nna m ka m na-arụ.
If I doe not the workes of my Father, beleeue me not.
38 Ma ọ bụrụ na m na-arụ ya, a sịkwarị na unu ekweghị na m, kwerenụ nʼọrụ ndị a, ka unu nwee ike mata ma ghọtakwa na Nna ahụ nọ nʼime m, mụ onwe m nọkwa nʼime Nna ahụ.”
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 Ọzọkwa, ha gbalịrị ijide ya ma ọ siri nʼaka ha pụọ.
Againe they went about to take him: but he escaped out of their handes,
40 Mgbe ahụ ọ laghachiri azụ nʼofe osimiri Jọdan, bụ ebe Jọn nọrọ na mbụ mee baptizim, ebe ahụ ka ọ nọdụrụ.
And went againe beyonde Iordan, into the place where Iohn first baptized, and there abode.
41 Ọtụtụ ndị mmadụ bịakwutere ya. Ha na-asị, “Jọn arụghị ọrụ ihe ịrịbama ọbụla, ma ihe niile Jọn kwuru banyere nwoke a bụ eziokwu.”
And many resorted vnto him, and saide, Iohn did no miracle: but all thinges that Iohn spake of this man, were true.
42 Ọtụtụ mmadụ kwenyekwara na ya nʼebe ahụ.
And many beleeued in him there.
