Yoane 10
1 Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: moto oyo akotaka na lopango ya bameme na nzela ya ekuke te, kasi amataka na likolo ya lopango, na esika mosusu, azali moyibi mpe mobomi.
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 Kasi ye oyo akotelaka na ekuke azali mobateli bameme.
But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 Mokengeli afungolelaka mobateli bameme ekuke, bameme eyokaka mongongo na ye. Mobateli abengaka bameme na ye na kombo na yango mpe abimisaka yango na libanda.
To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
4 Soki abimisi bameme na ye nyonso na libanda, alekaka liboso na yango; mpe bameme elandaka ye na sima, pamba te eyebi mongongo na ye.
And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
5 Ekotikala ata mokolo moko te kolanda mopaya; kasi ekokima ye mosika, pamba te eyebi mongongo na ye te.
And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
6 Yesu ayebisaki bango lisese yango, kasi basosolaki te tina ya makambo oyo azalaki koyebisa bango.
This parable spake Yahushua unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
7 Mpo na yango, Yesu alobaki na bango lisusu: — Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: Ngai nazali ekuke ya bameme.
Then said Yahushua unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 Bato nyonso oyo bayaki liboso na Ngai bazali miyibi mpe babomi; bameme eyokelaki bango te.
All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
9 Ngai nde nazali ekuke; moto nyonso oyo akokotela na nzela na Ngai akobika; akokota mpe akobima, mpe akozwa bilei.
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 Moyibi ayaka kaka mpo na koyiba, koboma mpe kobebisa; kasi Ngai, nayei mpo ete bameme ezwa bomoi mpe ezwa yango na bofuluki penza.
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 Nazali mobateli malamu ya bameme. Mobateli malamu ya bameme apesaka bomoi na ye mpo na bameme na ye.
I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
12 Mosali oyo azali mobateli bibwele te, oyo azali nkolo bameme te, asalaka kaka mpo na lifuti. Soki kaka amoni mbwa ya zamba koya, asundolaka bameme mpe akimaka. Bongo mbwa ya zamba ekangaka bameme mpe epanzaka yango.
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 Mosali yango akimaka, pamba te asalaka kaka mpo na lifuti mpe atiaka makanisi na ye na bameme te.
The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
14 Ngai, nazali mobateli malamu ya bibwele; nayebi bameme na Ngai, mpe bameme na Ngai eyebi Ngai
I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
15 —ndenge kaka Tata ayebi Ngai, mpe Ngai nayebi Tata— Nazali kokaba bomoi na Ngai mpo na bameme na Ngai.
As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 Nazali na bameme mosusu oyo ezali ya lopango oyo te. Nasengeli komema yango; ekoyoka mongongo na Ngai. Etonga ekozala kaka moko, mpe mobateli bibwele akozala kaka moko.
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 Tata alingaka Ngai mpo ete nazali kokaba bomoi na Ngai; kasi nakozwa yango lisusu.
Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
18 Moto moko te azali kobotola Ngai bomoi yango, kasi Ngai moko nde nazali kokaba yango, na mokano na Ngai moko. Nazali na bokonzi ya kopesa mpe ya kozwa yango lisusu. Yango nde mitindo oyo Tata na Ngai apesaki Ngai.
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 Bayuda bakabwanaki lisusu likolo ya maloba yango.
There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.
20 Mingi kati na bango bazalaki koloba: — Azali na molimo mabe! Azali na liboma! Mpo na nini bozali koyoka ye?
And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?
21 Bamosusu bazalaki kozongisa: — Maloba wana ezali te ya moto oyo azali na se ya bokonzi ya molimo mabe! Boni, molimo mabe ekoki penza kofungola miso ya bakufi miso?
Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
22 Ekomaki tango ya kosepela feti ya Kobulisa Tempelo ya Yelusalemi. Feti yango esalemaki na tango ya malili makasi.
And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.
23 Yesu azalaki kotambola kati na lopango ya Tempelo, na veranda ya Salomo.
And Yahushua walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.
24 Bayuda bazingelaki Ye mpe batunaki Ye: — Kino tango nini okotika mitema na biso likolo-likolo? Soki ozali Klisto, yebisa biso yango polele!
Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Messiah, tell us plainly.
25 Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Nayebisaki bino yango, kasi boboyi na bino kondima. Makamwisi oyo nazali kosala na Kombo ya Tata ezali kotatola na tina na Ngai;
Yahushua 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 kasi bino, boboyi na bino kondima, pamba te bozali bameme na Ngai te.
But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
27 Bameme na Ngai eyokaka mongongo na Ngai. Nayebi bameme na Ngai, mpe yango elandaka Ngai.
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
29 Tata na Ngai, oyo apesaki Ngai bameme yango, aleki bato nyonso na monene, mpe moto moko te akoki kobotola yango na loboko ya Tata na Ngai.
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 Ngai mpe Tata tozali se moko.
I and my Father are one.
31 Na bongo, Bayuda balokotaki lisusu mabanga mpo na koboma Ye,
Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
32 kasi Yesu alobaki na bango: — Nalakisi bino bikamwa mingi ya minene oyo esalemaki na nguya ya Tata; mpo na likamwisi nini bolingi koboma Ngai na mabanga?
Yahushua answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
33 Bayuda bazongiselaki Ye: — Ezali te mpo na likamwisi moko boye ya malamu nde tolingi koboma yo, kasi ezali mpo ete ozali kofinga Nzambe. Lisusu, ezali mpo ete, yo oyo ozali moto, ozali koloba ete ozali Nzambe.
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 Elohim.
34 Yesu alobaki na bango: — Ekomama te kati na mibeko na bino: « Nalobi: ‹ Bozali banzambe? › »
Yahushua answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are elohim?
35 Nzokande, batiaka tembe na Makomi te. Boye, soki abengaki « banzambe, » bato oyo epai banani Liloba na Nzambe eyaki,
If he called them elohim, unto whom the word of YHWH came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
36 mpo na nini koloba na tina na Ngai oyo Tata abulisa mpe atinda kati na mokili: « Ozali kofinga, » mpo nalobaki: « Nazali Mwana na Nzambe? »
Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of Elohim?
37 Soki nasalaka te misala ya Tata na Ngai, wana bondima na bino Ngai te.
If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
38 Kasi soki nasalaka yango, ezala soki boboyi na bino kondima Ngai, bondima ata misala yango, mpo boyeba mpe bososola ete Tata azali kati na Ngai, mpe Ngai nazali kati na Tata.
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 Mpo na yango, balukaki lisusu kokanga Ye, kasi Yesu akimaki bango.
Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand,
40 Akendeki lisusu na ngambo mosusu ya Yordani, kaka na esika oyo Yoane azalaki kobatisa bato, mpe atikalaki kuna.
And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode.
41 Bato mingi penza bayaki epai na Ye; bazalaki koloba: « Yoane asalaki likamwisi ata moko te, kasi makambo nyonso oyo alobaki na tina na moto oyo ezali ya solo! »
And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true.
42 Mpe kuna, bato mingi bandimaki Yesu.
And many believed on him there.
