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.
"In solemn truth I tell you that whoever does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, that man is a thief and a robber;
2 I mizilike mb’an-dalam-bei’ i goloboñeiy ty mpiarake o añondrio.
"but he who comes in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
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.
"The porter opens the door for him; the sheep listen to his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out.
4 Ie hene akare’e o azeo le iaoloa’e vaho orihe’ o añondrio amy te mahazatse iareo i fiarañanaña’ey.
"When he has brought all his own sheep, he walks before them and the sheep 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.
"But a stranger they will not follow, but flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers."
6 Nirazañe’ Iesoà am’iereo izay f’ie tsy naharendrek’ o tsinara’eo.
Jesus told them this parable, but they did not understand what he was talking about; so he said to them again.
7 Le nitovoña’ Iesoà ty hoe: Eka! to t’itaroñako te izaho o lalambein’ añondrio.
"In solemn truth I tell you that I am the Door of the sheep.
8 Mpampikametse naho mpikizo iaby o taolokoo vaho tsy itsanoña’ o añondrio.
"All that came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.
9 Izaho i lalam-beiy: ndra iaia mizilik’ añamako ro ho rombaheñe, himoake ao re naho hiakatse vaho hitendreke fiandrazañe.
"I am the Door. Whoever enters by me shall be saved, and he shall go in and come 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 never comes except to steal and kill and destroy. I am come that they may have life, and may have it in abundance.
11 Izaho i mpiarake soay, mahafoe ty fiai’e ho a o añondrio i mpiarake soay.
"I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his very life for the 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 hired servant, since he is not a shepherd and does not own his sheep, leaves the sheep and flees when he sees a wolf coming - and the wolf worries them and scatters them.
13 Mirimatse re fa mpikarama, toe tsy darè’e o añondrio.
"He is only a hired servant, and the sheep are no care to him.
14 Izaho ro mpiarake soa, fantako o ahikoo vaho apota’ o ahikoo iraho,
"I am the good shepherd. I know my sheep, and my sheep know me;
15 hambañe ami’ty faharofoanan-dRaeko ahy naho ty fahafohinako an-dRae, vaho amoeako aiñe o añondrikoo.
just as the Father knows me, I know the Father, and I lay down 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 also, which do not belong to this fold. I must bring them too, and they will listen to my voice, and they will become one flock, one shepherd.
17 Zao ty ikokoan-dRaeko ahy, te amoeako ty fiaiko handrambesako aze indraike.
"The Father loves me for this, because I am laying down my life that I may take it again.
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 man is taking it away from me. I am laying it down on my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it again. I received this commandment from my Father."
19 Aa le nifanìmpa-kevetse indraike o Tehodao ty amy tsara zay.
The Jews were again divided over these words.
20 Maro am’ iereo nanao ty hoe: Aman’ anga-draty re naho minèñe, ino ty ijanjiña’ areo aze?
Many of them kept saying. "He has a demon and is mad! Why do you listen to him?"
21 Hoe ka ty ila’e: Tsy fisaontsi’ ty aman-kokolampa i tsara rezay. Mahabarababeake ty goa hao o kokolampao?’
Others were saying. "These are not the words of one demon-possessed. Can a demoniac open the eyes of the blind?"
22 Tsatoke asotry e Ierosaleme ao i sabadida-pañorizañey,
Then came the feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem.
23 le nidraidraitse añ’anjomban’ Añahare an-kiririsa’ i Solomona ao t’Iesoà
It was winter, and Jesus used to walk 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.
Then all the Jews encircled him and kept asking him. "How long are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, 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 them. "I have told you, and you do not believe. The works which I am doing in my Father’s name, these bear witness concerning me.
26 Fe tsy iantofa’ areo amy t ‘ie tsy mpiamo añondrikoo.
"But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep.
27 Mitsanoñe ty feoko o añondrikoo naho fantako iereo naho orihe’ iereo,
"My sheep listen to my voice, and 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 has given them to me is stronger than all, and no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand.
30 Raike iraho naho i Raeko.
"I and my Father are one."
31 Nandrambe vato indraike o Tehodao, hafetsak’ ama’e.
The Jews again took stones with which to stone him. Jesus said to them.
32 Hoe ty natoi’ Iesoà: Maro ty sata-soa nitoroako boak’ aman-dRaeko, aia amy rezay ty handretsaha’ areo vato?
"I have shown you many good deeds from my Father. For which of these are you going to 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.
"We are not going to stone you for a good deed," answered the Jews, "but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, are making yourself God."
34 Natoi’ Iesoà ty hoe: Tsy pinatetse amy Hà’areoy hao ty hoe: Vinolako te ndrañahare nahareo?
"Is it written in your law," replied Jesus, "I said, You are gods?
35 Aa naho natao’e ndrañahare o nivotraha’ i tsaran’ Añahareio—toe tsy mete lilareñe i Sokitse Masiñey—
"If those to whom the word of God came are called gods (and the Scripture cannot be annulled),
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 mean to tell me, whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?
37 Ko miantok’ ahy naho tsy anoeko o fitoloñan-dRaekoo.
"If I am not doing the deeds of my Father, do not believe me.
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 am doing them, then though you believe not me, believe the deeds, in order that you may come to know and keep on clearly understanding that the Father is in me and I am in the Father."
39 Aa le nipay hitsepak’ aze indraike iereo f’ie nibolititse am-pità’ iareo.
Then again they attempted 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 went away again across the Jordan to the place where John had been baptizing at first, and there he remained.
41 Maro ty nimb’ ama’e, nanao ty hoe: Tsy nanao raha tsitantane t’i Jaona, fe hene to i nisaontsie’e indaty tìañe.
Many who came to him said, "John did not perform any signs, but everything he said about this man was true."
42 Maro am’iereo ty niantok’ aze.
And many believed on him there.
