Yowana 10
1 “Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, jojowe akajinjila nshitundu sha ngondolo kupitila pannango, ikabhe nipeleta panape, jwenejo nngwii na nkupokonyola.
Verily, verily, I say to you, He that enters not in by the door to the fold of the sheep, but mounts up elsewhere, he is a thief and a robber;
2 Ikabheje apitila pa nnango, jwenejo nshunga jwa ngondolo.
but he that enters in by the door is [the] shepherd of the sheep.
3 Nkulinda nnango gwa shitundu, anakunng'ugulila nshunga na ngondolo inapilikana lilobhe lyakwe, na anakwiishema ngondolo yakwe kwa mena gabhonji, nikwilongoya palanga.
To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out.
4 Aikopoyaga palanga anakwilongolela mmujo, numbe ngondolo ilikunkagula, pabha bhanakulimanyanga lilobhe lyakwe.
When he has put forth all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
5 Ngondolo nngankagula nnjeni, ikabhe shiimmutushe, pabha ikakulimanya lilobhe lyakwe.”
But they will not follow a stranger, but will flee from him, because they know not the voice of strangers.
6 A Yeshu bhashinkwabhalanjilanga lwene lutangolu, ikabheje bhangashimanyanga shibhalugulilwenje.
This allegory spoke Jesus to them, but they did not know what it was [of] which he spoke to them.
7 Bhai a Yeshu, gubhashite kabhili, “Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, nne nnango gwa ngondolo.
Jesus therefore said again to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 Bhowenji bhalongolelenje nganabheika nne, bhagwii na bhaapokonyola na yalakwe ngondolo yangaapilikanilanga.
All whoever came before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not hear them.
9 Nne nnango. Ajinjila kupitila nne shatapulwe na shajinjile nikopoka na shaapate shalya.
I am the door: if any one enter in by me, he shall be saved, and shall go in and shall go out and shall find pasture.
10 Nngwii anakwiya nkupinga, kujibha, kubhulaga na kuangabhanya. Nne njikwiya nkupinga nkolanje gumi, numbe gumi gwa punda.
The thief comes not but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy: I am come that they might have life, and might have [it] abundantly.
11 “Nne nshunga jwa mmbone. Nshunga jwa mmbone akajogopa shoya gumi gwakwe kwa ligongo lya ngondolo yakwe.
I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep:
12 Mundu jwa nshaala, wala nngabha nshunga, na wala ngondolo nngabha yakwe, ammonagape liogo alikwiiya, anakwiileka ngondolo nibhutuka, penepo liogo anakwiikamula na ina inapwilinganya.
but he who serves for wages, and who is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf seizes them and scatters the sheep.
13 Anabhutuka pabha jwenejo mundu jwa nshaalape akajali ga ngondolo pabha nngabha yakwe.
Now he who serves for wages flees because he serves for wages, and is not himself concerned about the sheep.
14 Nne nshunga jwa mmbone. Bhalinginji bhangu naamanyinji, na bhalabhonji bhalinginji bhangu bhamanyinji,
I am the good shepherd; and I know those that are mine, and am known of those that are mine,
15 malinga Atati shibhamanya nne, na nne shingwamanya Atati. Nne ngunakwishoya gumi gwangu kwa ligongo lyabhonji.
as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 Ngwete ngondolo ina nngabha ya shishino shitundu shino. Ngunapinjikwa ng'ishenayo nkali yeneyo, na yalakwe shiipilikane lilobhe lyangu, kungai shiibhe likundi limo na nshunga jumo.
And I have other sheep which are not of this fold: those also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one flock, one shepherd.
17 “Kwa nneyo Atati bhanambinga, pabha ngunakuushoya gumi gwangu nkupinga umujile kabhili.
On this account the Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it again.
18 Jwakwa mundu jwa mbokonyola gumi gwangu, ngunakuushoya kwa engwa namwene. Ngwete mashili ga kuushoya na mashili ga kuutola kabhili. Nneyo ni shibhang'amulishe Atati ndende.”
No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have authority to lay it down and I have authority to take it again. I have received this commandment of my Father.
19 Gugakoposhele kabhili malekano munkumbi gwa Bhayaudi kwa ligongo lya gene malobhego.
There was a division again among the Jews on account of these words;
20 Bhabhagwinji gubhashitenje, “Bhashikola maoka, numbe bhalwele shalubha! Kwa nndi kwaapilikanishiya?”
but many of them said, He has a demon and raves; why do ye hear him?
21 Bhananji gubhashitenje, “Aga nngabha malobhe gaka mundu akwete maoka. Bhuli, lioka linakombola kulamya meyo gaka nangalole?”
Others said, These sayings are not [those] of one that is possessed by a demon. Can a demon open blind people's eyes?
22 Bhai ku Yelushalemu shashinkupagwa shikukuu sha kumbushila kulimbula likanisha. Gene mobhago pugaliji ga shipwepwe.
Now the feast of the dedication was celebrating at Jerusalem, and it was winter.
23 Na bhalabho a Yeshu bhatendaga owa ku likanisha nnukumbi lwa a Shelemani.
And Jesus walked in the temple in the porch of Solomon.
24 Bhai, Bhayaudi gubhaatimbililenje, gubhaabhushiyenje, “Shinnjiabhuye mitima mpaka shakani? Monaga mmwe a Kilishitu, bhai ntubhalanjile.”
The Jews therefore surrounded him, and said to him, Until when dost thou hold our soul in suspense? If thou art the Christ, say [so] to us openly.
25 A Yeshu gubhaajangwilenje, “Nimmalanjilenje, ikabheje nkaakulupalilanga. Maengo gungukamula kwa lina lya Atati ganangong'ondela.
Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye do not believe. The works which I do in my Father's name, these bear witness concerning me:
26 Ikabheje mmanganyanji nkaakulupalilanga, pabha mmanganyanji nngabha ngondolo yangu.
but ye do not believe, for ye are not of my sheep, as I told you.
27 Ngondolo yangu inapilikana lilobhe lyangu, nne ngulikwiimanya, na yalakwe inaangagula.
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me;
29 Atati bhambele yene ngondoloyo ni bhakulungwa kupunda bhowe, wala jwakwa shakombole kwaashoyanga mmakono ga Atati.
My Father who has given [them] to me is greater than all, and no one can seize out of the hand of my Father.
30 Nne na Atati, tubhamope.”
I and the Father are one.
31 Bhai Bhayaudi gubhalokwetenje maganga nkupinga bhaakomanje.
The Jews therefore again took stones that they might stone him.
32 A Yeshu gubhaabhalugulilenje, “Ninnangwiyenje maengo ga mmbone gamagwinji kopoka kwa Atati. Gei gundendile gatenda nngomanje maganga?”
Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewn you of my Father; for which work of them do ye stone me?
33 Bhayaudi gubhaajangwilenje, “Tukakunkoma maganga kwa ligongo lya maengo ga mmbone, ikabhe kwa ligongo lya kwatukana a Nnungu! Pabha mmwe nnakwiitenda a Nnungu mbena mmandupe.”
The Jews answered him, For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy, and because thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
34 A Yeshu gubhaajangwilenje, “Bhuli shalia jenunji jangajandika Mmajandiko ga Ukonjelo kuti a Nnungu bhaashite, ‘Nne njite, mmanganyanji ashi nnungu’?
Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
35 A Nnungu bhashinkwaashemanga ashinnungu bhapegwilenje lilobhe lya a Nnungu, na uwe tumumanyi kuti Majandiko ga Ukonjelo ganabheleta kweli mobha gowe.
If he called them gods to whom the word of God came (and the scripture cannot be broken),
36 Jwene aagwilwe na Atati nikuntuma kushilambolyo, nkummalanjilanga kuti bhuli, ‘Unatukana,’ pabha njibheleketa, ‘Nne Mwana jwa a Nnungu?’
do ye say of him whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest, because I said, I am Son of God?
37 Monaga ngakamula maengo ga Atati, nnangulupalilanje.
If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not;
38 Ikabheje monaga ngunakamula genego, nkali ibhaga nkangulupalilanga, nkulupalilanje kapela maengo pego, mmumanyanje na kung'amula kuti Atati mubhali nkati jangu, na nne nkati jabho.”
but if I do, even if ye believe not me, believe the works, that ye may know [and believe] that the Father is in me and I in him.
39 Gubhalinjilenje kwaakamula kabhili, ikabheje gubhakolobhweshe mmakono gabhonji.
They sought therefore again to take him; and he went away from out of their hand
40 A Yeshu gubhapite kung'ambo lushi lwa Yolodani, kubhabhatishaga a Yowana bhukala, gubhatemi kweneko.
and departed again beyond the Jordan to the place where John was baptising at the first: and he abode there.
41 Bhandu bhabhagwinji gubhaajendelenje gubhashitenje, “A Yowana bhangatenda ilangulo yoyowe. Ikabheje gowe gubhatashiye a Yowana ga bhene bhandubha, pugaliji ga kweli.”
And many came to him, and said, John did no sign; but all things which John said of this [man] were true.
42 Penepo bhandu bhabhagwinji gubhaakulupalilenje a Yeshu.
And many believed on him there.
