Hoani 10
1 He pono, he pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ki te kahore tetahi e tomo ra te kuwaha ki te kainga hipi, ki te piki ke, he tahae ia, he tangata pahua.
“Most certainly, I tell you, one who doesn’t enter by the door into the sheep fold, but climbs up some other way, is a thief and a robber.
2 Tena ko te tangata e tomo ana ra te kuwaha, ko te hepara ia o nga hipi.
But one who enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 Ka uaki te kaitiaki tatau ki a ia; ka rongo ano nga hipi ki tona reo: na ka karangatia e ia ana hipi ake, to tenei ingoa, to tenei ingoa, ka arahina ki waho.
The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
4 A ka oti ana ake hipi te tuku ki waho, ka haere ia i mua i a ratou, ka aru nga hipi i a ia: e matau ana hoki ratou ki tona reo.
Whenever he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
5 E kore ia ratou e aru i te tauhou, engari ka oma i a ia: e kore hoki e matau ki te reo o nga tauhou.
They will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him; for they don’t know the voice of strangers.”
6 I korerotia tenei kupu whakarite e Ihu ki a ratou: heoi kihai ratou i mohio ki nga mea i korerotia e ia ki a ratou.
Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they didn’t understand what he was telling them.
7 Na ka mea ano a Ihu ki a ratou, He pono, he pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ko ahau te tatau o nga hipi.
Jesus therefore said to them again, “Most certainly, I tell you, I am the sheep’s door.
8 He tahae, he kaipahua te hunga katoa i haere mai i mua i ahau: heoi kihai nga hipi i whakarongo ki a ratou.
All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn’t listen to them.
9 Ko ahau te tatau: ki te waiho ahau hei huarahi tomokanga mo tetahi, e ora ia, a ka haere ki roto, ka haere ki waho, ka kite hoki i te kai.
I am the door. If anyone enters in by me, he will be saved, and will go in and go out and will find pasture.
10 Heoi ano ta te tahae e haere mai ai, he tahae, he patu, he whakamoti hoki: i haere mai ahau kia whiwhi ai ratou ki te ora, ina, tona nui noa atu.
The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.
11 Ko ahau te hepara pai, he hepara pai, ka tuku i a ia ano kia mate mo nga hipi.
“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
12 Tena ko te tangata e utua ana, ehara nei i te hepara, ehara nei i a ia nga hipi, i tona kitenga i te wuruhi e haere mai ana, whakarerea ake e ia nga hipi, oma ana: na ka hopukia ratou e te wuruhi, a whakamararatia ana nga hipi.
He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who doesn’t own the sheep, sees the wolf coming, leaves the sheep, and flees. The wolf snatches the sheep and scatters them.
13 Ka oma te tangata e utua ana, no te mea e utua ana ia, kahore hoki ona whakaaro ki nga hipi.
The hired hand flees because he is a hired hand and doesn’t care for the sheep.
14 Ko ahau te hepara pai, e matau ana hoki ki aku, a e matau ana aku ki ahau.
I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and I’m known by my own;
15 Pera tonu me to te Matua matau ki ahau, me toku matau hoki ki te Matua: e tuku ana hoki ahau i ahau ki te mate mo nga hipi.
even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 He hipi atu ano aku, ehara nei i tenei kainga: me arahi mai ratou e ahau, a ka rongo ratou ki toku reo; a e whakakotahitia te kahui, kotahi ano hoki hepara.
I have other sheep which are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will hear my voice. They will become one flock with one shepherd.
17 Koia te Matua ka aroha mai ai ki ahau, no te mea e tuku ana ahau i ahau kia mate, kia whakaora ake ai ano ahau i ahau.
Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
18 Ehara i te mea ma tetahi tangata ahau e whakamate, engari maku ano ahau e tuku ki te mate. Kei ahau te tikanga mo te tuku atu, kei ahau ano te tikanga mo te whakaora. Na toku matua tenei ture kua riro mai nei i ahau.
No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down by myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. I received this commandment from my Father.”
19 Katahi ka wehewehea nga Hurai, na enei kupu.
Therefore a division arose again amongst the Jews because of these words.
20 He tokomaha o ratou i mea, He rewera tona, e haurangi ana; he aha koutou ka whakarongo ai ki a ia?
Many of them said, “He has a demon and is insane! Why do you listen to him?”
21 Ko etahi i mea, Ehara enei i nga kupu a te tangata e nohoia ana e te rewera. E ahei koia i te rewera te mea i nga kanohi o nga matapo kia kite?
Others said, “These are not the sayings of one possessed by a demon. It isn’t possible for a demon to open the eyes of the blind, is it?”
22 Na i Hiruharama tenei, i te hakari horohoronga: he hotoke;
It was the Feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem.
23 A e haereere ana a Ihu i te temepara, i te whakamahau o Horomona.
It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon’s porch.
24 Na ka karapotia ia e nga Hurai, ka mea ratou ki a ia, Kia pehea te roa o tau waiho i o matou ngakau kia hikirangi ana? Ki te mea ko te Karaiti koe, korerotia matanuitia mai ki a matou.
The Jews therefore came around him and said to him, “How long will you hold us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.”
25 Ka whakahoki a Ihu ki a ratou, Kua korerotia e ahau ki a koutou, a kahore koutou e whakapono: ko nga mahi e mahi nei ahau i runga i te ingoa o toku Matua, ko enei hei kaiwhakaatu moku.
Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you don’t believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name, these testify about me.
26 Otira e kore koutou e whakapono, no te mea ehara koutou i te hipi naku.
But you don’t believe, because you are not of my sheep, as I told you.
27 E rongo ana aku hipi ki toku reo, e matau ana ahau ki a ratou, e aru ana hoki ratou i ahau:
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
29 Ko toku Matua, nana nei ratou i homai ki ahau, nui ake i te katoa; e kore ano ratou e taea e tetahi te kapo atu i roto i te ringa o toku Matua.
My Father who has given them to me is greater than all. No one is able to snatch them out of my Father’s hand.
30 Ko ahau, ko te Matua, kotahi maua.
I and the Father are one.”
31 Katahi ka mau ano nga Hurai ki te kohatu hei aki ki a ia.
Therefore the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
32 Ka whakahokia e Ihu ki a ratou, He maha nga mahi pai kua whakakitea nei e ahau ki a koutou, he mea na toku Matua; mo tehea o aua mahi ka akina ai ahau e koutou?
Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?”
33 Ka whakahoki nga Hurai ki a ia, ka mea, Ehara te mahi pai i te mea e akina ai koe; engari mo te kohukohu; mo te mea hoki ko koe, tangata nei ano, e whakaatua ana i a koe.
The Jews answered him, “We don’t stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God.”
34 Ka whakahokia e Ihu ki a ratou, Kahore ranei i tuhituhia i roto i to koutou ture, I mea ahau, he atua koutou?
Jesus answered them, “Isn’t it written in your law, ‘I said, you are gods’?
35 Ki te huaina e ia he atua te hunga i tae mai nei te kupu a te Atua ki a ratou, a e kore hoki e taea te whakakahore te karaipiture,
If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture can’t be broken),
36 E mea ana oti koutou ki ta te Matua i whakatapu ai, i tono mai ai hoki ki te ao, E kohukohu ana koe; noku i mea, Ko te Tama ahau a te Atua?
do you say of him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You blaspheme,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?
37 Ki te kore ahau e mahi i nga mahi a toku Matua, aua ahau e whakaponohia.
If I don’t do the works of my Father, don’t believe me.
38 Tena ki te mahi ahau, ahakoa kahore koutou e whakapono ki ahau, whakaponohia nga mahi: kia matau ai koutou, kia whakapono ai, ko te Matua kei roto i ahau, me ahau hoki kei roto i a ia.
But if I do them, though you don’t believe me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.”
39 Na ka whai ano ratou kia hopukia ia: heoi puta ana ia i o ratou ringa;
They sought again to seize him, and he went out of their hand.
40 Na ka haere ano ia ki tawahi o Horano, ki te wahi i matua iriiri ai a Hoani; a noho ana i reira.
He went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was baptising at first, and he stayed there.
41 He tokomaha hoki i haere ki a ia; i mea ratou, Kihai a Hoani i mahi i tetahi merekara; he pono ia nga mea katoa i korerotia e Hoani mo tenei.
Many came to him. They said, “John indeed did no sign, but everything that John said about this man is true.”
42 A he tokomaha o reira i whakapono ki a ia.
Many believed in him there.
