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.
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 Onye na-esite nʼọnụ ụzọ abanye bụ onye ọzụzụ atụrụ.
But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
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 sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep 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 he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
5 Ha agaghị eso onye ọbịa, kama ha gbaara ya ọsọ. Nʼihi na ha amaghị olu onye ọbịa.”
And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
6 Jisọs ji ihe yiri ihe gwa ha okwu. Ma ha aghọtaghị ihe ọ nọ na-agwa ha.
This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
7 Ọzọ, Jisọs sịrị, “Nʼezie, nʼezie, ana m agwa unu, mụ onwe m bụ ọnụ ụzọ ọgba atụrụ ahụ.
Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
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 ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear 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 the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find 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 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 “Mụ onwe m bụ onye ọzụzụ atụrụ ọma. Ezi onye ọzụzụ atụrụ na-atọgbọ ndụ ya nʼihi atụrụ ya.
I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
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 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 Onye e goro ọrụ na-agbapụ, nʼihi na ọ bụ onye e goro ọrụ, ọ naghị echegbu onwe ya banyere atụrụ ndị ahụ.
The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
14 “Abụ m onye ọzụzụ atụrụ ọma; amaara m atụrụ m, atụrụ nke m makwaara m.
I am the good shepherd, and know my [sheep], and am known 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, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
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.
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 Maka nke a ka Nna jiri hụ m nʼanya, nʼihi na ana m atọgbọ ndụ m, ka m wereghachikwa ya ọzọ.
Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
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 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 Ọzọkwa, nkewa batara nʼetiti ndị Juu nʼihi okwu ndị a.
There was a division therefore again among the Jews 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 said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear 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?”
Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
22 Nʼoge ahụ, mmemme icheta mgbe e doro ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ nsọ ruru na Jerusalem. Ọ bụ oge oke oyi,
And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.
23 ma Jisọs nọ na-ejegharị nʼụlọnsọ ukwu, nʼịba Solomọn.
And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch.
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 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 Jisọs zara ha, “Agwara m unu, ma unu ekweghị. Ọrụ m na-arụ nʼaha Nna m na-agba ama banyere m.
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 Ma unu ekwenyeghị, nʼihi na unu esoghị nʼigwe atụrụ m.
But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
27 Atụrụ m na-anụ olu m. Amaara m ha, ha na-esokwa m.
My sheep hear my voice, and I know 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 gave [them] me, is greater than all; and no [man] is able to pluck [them] out of my Father’s hand.
30 Mụ na nna m bụ otu.”
I and [my] Father are one.
31 Ndị Juu tụtụlitekwara nkume ọzọ ịtụ ya.
Then the Jews took up stones again 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?”
Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do 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 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 Jisọs zara ha, “Edeghị ya nʼiwu unu, sị, ‘Mụ onwe m sịrị na unu bụ chi’?
Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
35 Ọ bụrụ na a kpọrọ ndị ahụ nabatara okwu Chineke ‘chi,’ apụghịkwa imebi ihe e dere nʼakwụkwọ nsọ.
If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, 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, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
37 Unu ekwenyela na m, ma ọ bụrụ na ọ bụghị ọrụ Nna m ka m na-arụ.
If I do not the works of my Father, believe 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 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 Ọzọkwa, ha gbalịrị ijide ya ma ọ siri nʼaka ha pụọ.
Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand,
40 Mgbe ahụ ọ laghachiri azụ nʼofe osimiri Jọdan, bụ ebe Jọn nọrọ na mbụ mee baptizim, ebe ahụ ka ọ nọdụrụ.
And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he 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 unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true.
42 Ọtụtụ mmadụ kwenyekwara na ya nʼebe ahụ.
And many believed on him there.
