Jaona 10
1 Eka! to ty taroñako t’ie tsy mizilik’ amy lalam-bein-jolon’ añondriy, fa manganik’ an-dàlan-kafa ro mpikizo naho mpampikametse.
Most assuredly, I say to you, he who enters not by the gate into the sheepfold, but climbs over the fence, is a thief and a robber.
2 I mizilike mb’an-dalam-bei’ i goloboñeiy ty mpiarake o añondrio.
The shepherd always enters by the gate.
3 Ie ty sokafe’ i mpañambeñey, naho mahatsanoñe i fiarañanaña’ey o añondrio, mbore tokave’e ami’ty añara’e o añondri’eo, vaho iaoloa’e boak’ao.
To him, the porter opens, and the sheep obey his voice. His own sheep he calls by name, and leads out.
4 Ie hene akare’e o azeo le iaoloa’e vaho orihe’ o añondrio amy te mahazatse iareo i fiarañanaña’ey.
And having put out his sheep, he walks before them, and they follow him; because they know his voice.
5 Toe tsy horihe’ iereo ty ambahiny, fe mandrife, amy te tsy mahazatse iareo ty feo’ o ambahinio.
They will not follow a stranger, but flee from him; because they know not the voice of strangers.
6 Nirazañe’ Iesoà am’iereo izay f’ie tsy naharendrek’ o tsinara’eo.
Jesus addressed this similitude to them, but they did not comprehend what he said.
7 Le nitovoña’ Iesoà ty hoe: Eka! to t’itaroñako te izaho o lalambein’ añondrio.
He therefore added, Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the gate of the fold.
8 Mpampikametse naho mpikizo iaby o taolokoo vaho tsy itsanoña’ o añondrio.
All who preceded me were thieves and robbers; but the sheep obeyed them not.
9 Izaho i lalam-beiy: ndra iaia mizilik’ añamako ro ho rombaheñe, himoake ao re naho hiakatse vaho hitendreke fiandrazañe.
I am the gate: such as enter by me shall be safe: they shall go in and out, and find pasture.
10 Kanao mikamoak’ ao ty mpikizo le ty hampikametse naho hañè-doza vaho hanjamañe. Avy iraho, hanaña’ iareo haveloñe, vaho hanañe aze am-bokatse.
The thief comes in only to steal, to slay, and to destroy. I am come that they may have life, and have it abundantly.
11 Izaho i mpiarake soay, mahafoe ty fiai’e ho a o añondrio i mpiarake soay.
I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives his life for his sheep.
12 Tsy mpiarake i tsimañajay: tsy aze o añondrio, ie trea’e te mipoteake ty farasy, le apo’e o añondrio naho mibioñe naho itsepaha’ i farasiy vaho ampiparatsiahe’e.
The hireling, who is not the shepherd, and to whom the sheep do not belong, when he sees the wolf coming, abandons the sheep, and flees; and the wolf tears them, and disperses the flock.
13 Mirimatse re fa mpikarama, toe tsy darè’e o añondrio.
The hireling flees, because he is a hireling, and cares not for the sheep.
14 Izaho ro mpiarake soa, fantako o ahikoo vaho apota’ o ahikoo iraho,
I am the good shepherd. And I know my own, and am known by them,
15 hambañe ami’ty faharofoanan-dRaeko ahy naho ty fahafohinako an-dRae, vaho amoeako aiñe o añondrikoo.
(even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father; ) and I give my life for the sheep.
16 Mbe aman’ añondry ila’e tsy mpiami’ ty zoloke toy iraho; tsi-mete tsy hendeseko mb’etoa iereo, ie hitsanoñe ty feoko vaho ho lia-raike reketse Mpiarake raike.
I have other sheep, besides, which are not of this fold. Them I must also bring; and they will obey my voice; and there shall be one flock, one shepherd.
17 Zao ty ikokoan-dRaeko ahy, te amoeako ty fiaiko handrambesako aze indraike.
For this the Father loves me, because I give my life, to be afterward resumed.
18 Tsy t’ie haloli’ ondaty amako, fa lahako ty hamoe aze. Amako ty lily hamoeako aze, naho amako ty lily handrambesako aze indraike. Rinambeko aman-dRaeko i lily zay.
No one forces it from me: but I give it of myself. I have power to give it, and I have power to resume it. This commandment I have received from my Father.
19 Aa le nifanìmpa-kevetse indraike o Tehodao ty amy tsara zay.
Again there was a division among the Jews, occasioned by this discourse.
20 Maro am’ iereo nanao ty hoe: Aman’ anga-draty re naho minèñe, ino ty ijanjiña’ areo aze?
Many of them said, He has a demon, and is mad: why do you hear him?
21 Hoe ka ty ila’e: Tsy fisaontsi’ ty aman-kokolampa i tsara rezay. Mahabarababeake ty goa hao o kokolampao?’
Others said, These are not the words of a demonise. Can a demon give sight to the blind?
22 Tsatoke asotry e Ierosaleme ao i sabadida-pañorizañey,
Afterward, when they were celebrating the feast of the dedication, at Jerusalem,
23 le nidraidraitse añ’anjomban’ Añahare an-kiririsa’ i Solomona ao t’Iesoà
it being in winter; as Jesus walked in the temple, in Solomon's portico,
24 vaho nihimpok’ ama’e o Tehodao nanao ty hoe: Pak’ ombia irehe te mbe hampitarik’ aiñe anay? Naho ihe i Norizañey, adodeo.
the Jews surrounding him, said to him, How long will you keep us in suspense? If you be the Messiah, tell us plainly.
25 Tinoi’ Iesoà ty hoe: Fa nitaroñako, fe tsy iantofa’areo; mitalily ahy o raha tsitantane anoeko amy tahinan-dRaekoio.
Jesus answered, I told you; but you believed not. The works which I do in my Father's name, testify of me.
26 Fe tsy iantofa’ areo amy t ‘ie tsy mpiamo añondrikoo.
But you believe not, for you are not of my sheep.
27 Mitsanoñe ty feoko o añondrikoo naho fantako iereo naho orihe’ iereo,
My sheep, as I told you, obey my voice; I know them, and they follow me.
29 Toe natolon-dRaeko amako, ie ty bey te amy ze he’e; vaho leo raike tsy hahatavañe iareo am-pitàn-dRae.
My Father, who gave them me, is greater than all; and none can wrest them out of my Father's hand.
30 Raike iraho naho i Raeko.
I and the Father are one.
31 Nandrambe vato indraike o Tehodao, hafetsak’ ama’e.
Then the Jews again took up stones to stone him.
32 Hoe ty natoi’ Iesoà: Maro ty sata-soa nitoroako boak’ aman-dRaeko, aia amy rezay ty handretsaha’ areo vato?
Jesus said to them, Many good works I have shown you from my Father; for which of these works do you stone me?
33 Natoi’ o Tehodao ty hoe: Tsy t’ie sata soa ty ametsaha’ay vato, fa i terateray, naho amy te Ihe, ondaty, manao ho Andrianañahare.
The Jews answered, For a good work we do not stone you, but for blasphemy; because you, being a man, make yourself God.
34 Natoi’ Iesoà ty hoe: Tsy pinatetse amy Hà’areoy hao ty hoe: Vinolako te ndrañahare nahareo?
Jesus replied, Is it not written in your law, "I said, You are gods?"
35 Aa naho natao’e ndrañahare o nivotraha’ i tsaran’ Añahareio—toe tsy mete lilareñe i Sokitse Masiñey—
If the law styled them gods, to whom the word of God was addressed, and if the language of scripture in unexceptionable;
36 le akore te atao’ areo mpiteratera i nimasiñen-dRae naho nañitrike aze mb’ami’ty voatse toiy, amy nataoko te Anan’ Añahare Raho?
do you charge him with blasphemy whom the Father has consecrated his Apostle to the world, for calling himself his Son?
37 Ko miantok’ ahy naho tsy anoeko o fitoloñan-dRaekoo.
If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
38 F’ie anoeko, ndra te tsy haoñe’ areo, iantofo o tolon-drahao, hahafohiñe naho haharendreke te amako t’i Rae, vaho ama’e iraho.
But if I do, though you believe not me, believe the works, that you may know and believe, that the Father is in me, and I am in him.
39 Aa le nipay hitsepak’ aze indraike iereo f’ie nibolititse am-pità’ iareo.
They then attempted again to seize him; but he escaped out of their hands,
40 Nibalike mb’ an-dafe’ Iordaney añe re amy nampilipora’ i Jaona valoha’ey vaho nañialo eo.
and retired again toward the Jordan, and abode in the place where John first immersed.
41 Maro ty nimb’ ama’e, nanao ty hoe: Tsy nanao raha tsitantane t’i Jaona, fe hene to i nisaontsie’e indaty tìañe.
And many resorted to him, who said, John, indeed, wrought no miracle: but all that John spoke of this man, is true.
42 Maro am’iereo ty niantok’ aze.
And many believed on him there.
