Yowana 10
1 “Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, jojowe akajinjila nshitundu sha ngondolo kupitila pannango, ikabhe nipeleta panape, jwenejo nngwii na nkupokonyola.
"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 Ikabheje apitila pa nnango, jwenejo nshunga jwa ngondolo.
"but he who comes 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.
"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 Aikopoyaga palanga anakwilongolela mmujo, numbe ngondolo ilikunkagula, pabha bhanakulimanyanga lilobhe lyakwe.
"When he has brought all his own sheep, he walks before them and the sheep follow him because they know his voice.
5 Ngondolo nngankagula nnjeni, ikabhe shiimmutushe, pabha ikakulimanya lilobhe lyakwe.”
"But a stranger they will not follow, but flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers."
6 A Yeshu bhashinkwabhalanjilanga lwene lutangolu, ikabheje bhangashimanyanga shibhalugulilwenje.
Jesus told them this parable, but they did not understand what he was talking about; so he said to them again.
7 Bhai a Yeshu, gubhashite kabhili, “Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, nne nnango gwa ngondolo.
"In solemn truth I tell you that I am the Door of the sheep.
8 Bhowenji bhalongolelenje nganabheika nne, bhagwii na bhaapokonyola na yalakwe ngondolo yangaapilikanilanga.
"All that came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.
9 Nne nnango. Ajinjila kupitila nne shatapulwe na shajinjile nikopoka na shaapate shalya.
"I am the Door. Whoever enters by me shall be saved, and he shall go in and come out and find pasture.
10 Nngwii anakwiya nkupinga, kujibha, kubhulaga na kuangabhanya. Nne njikwiya nkupinga nkolanje gumi, numbe gumi gwa punda.
"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 “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 very 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.
"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 Anabhutuka pabha jwenejo mundu jwa nshaalape akajali ga ngondolo pabha nngabha yakwe.
"He is only a hired servant, and the sheep are no care to him.
14 Nne nshunga jwa mmbone. Bhalinginji bhangu naamanyinji, na bhalabhonji bhalinginji bhangu bhamanyinji,
"I am the good shepherd. I know my sheep, and my sheep know me;
15 malinga Atati shibhamanya nne, na nne shingwamanya Atati. Nne ngunakwishoya gumi gwangu kwa ligongo lyabhonji.
just as the Father knows me, 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.
"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 “Kwa nneyo Atati bhanambinga, pabha ngunakuushoya gumi gwangu nkupinga umujile kabhili.
"The Father loves me for this, because I am laying 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 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 Gugakoposhele kabhili malekano munkumbi gwa Bhayaudi kwa ligongo lya gene malobhego.
The Jews were again divided over these words.
20 Bhabhagwinji gubhashitenje, “Bhashikola maoka, numbe bhalwele shalubha! Kwa nndi kwaapilikanishiya?”
Many of them kept saying. "He has a demon and is mad! Why do you listen to him?"
21 Bhananji gubhashitenje, “Aga nngabha malobhe gaka mundu akwete maoka. Bhuli, lioka linakombola kulamya meyo gaka nangalole?”
Others were saying. "These are not the words of one demon-possessed. Can a demoniac open the eyes of the blind?"
22 Bhai ku Yelushalemu shashinkupagwa shikukuu sha kumbushila kulimbula likanisha. Gene mobhago pugaliji ga shipwepwe.
Then came the feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem.
23 Na bhalabho a Yeshu bhatendaga owa ku likanisha nnukumbi lwa a Shelemani.
It was winter, and Jesus used to walk in the Temple, in Solomon’s Portico.
24 Bhai, Bhayaudi gubhaatimbililenje, gubhaabhushiyenje, “Shinnjiabhuye mitima mpaka shakani? Monaga mmwe a Kilishitu, bhai ntubhalanjile.”
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 A Yeshu gubhaajangwilenje, “Nimmalanjilenje, ikabheje nkaakulupalilanga. Maengo gungukamula kwa lina lya Atati ganangong'ondela.
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 Ikabheje mmanganyanji nkaakulupalilanga, pabha mmanganyanji nngabha ngondolo yangu.
"But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep.
27 Ngondolo yangu inapilikana lilobhe lyangu, nne ngulikwiimanya, na yalakwe inaangagula.
"My sheep listen to 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 stronger than all, and no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand.
30 Nne na Atati, tubhamope.”
"I and my Father are one."
31 Bhai Bhayaudi gubhalokwetenje maganga nkupinga bhaakomanje.
The Jews again took stones with which to stone him. Jesus said to them.
32 A Yeshu gubhaabhalugulilenje, “Ninnangwiyenje maengo ga mmbone gamagwinji kopoka kwa Atati. Gei gundendile gatenda nngomanje maganga?”
"I have shown you many good deeds from my Father. For which of these are you going to 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.”
"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 A Yeshu gubhaajangwilenje, “Bhuli shalia jenunji jangajandika Mmajandiko ga Ukonjelo kuti a Nnungu bhaashite, ‘Nne njite, mmanganyanji ashi nnungu’?
"Is it written in your law," replied Jesus, "I said, You are gods?
35 A Nnungu bhashinkwaashemanga ashinnungu bhapegwilenje lilobhe lya a Nnungu, na uwe tumumanyi kuti Majandiko ga Ukonjelo ganabheleta kweli mobha gowe.
"If those to whom the word of God came are called gods (and the Scripture cannot be annulled),
36 Jwene aagwilwe na Atati nikuntuma kushilambolyo, nkummalanjilanga kuti bhuli, ‘Unatukana,’ pabha njibheleketa, ‘Nne Mwana jwa a Nnungu?’
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 Monaga ngakamula maengo ga Atati, nnangulupalilanje.
"If I am not doing the deeds of my Father, do not believe me.
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 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 Gubhalinjilenje kwaakamula kabhili, ikabheje gubhakolobhweshe mmakono gabhonji.
Then again they attempted to seize him, but he escaped out of their hands,
40 A Yeshu gubhapite kung'ambo lushi lwa Yolodani, kubhabhatishaga a Yowana bhukala, gubhatemi kweneko.
and went away again across the Jordan to the place where John had been baptizing at first, and there he remained.
41 Bhandu bhabhagwinji gubhaajendelenje gubhashitenje, “A Yowana bhangatenda ilangulo yoyowe. Ikabheje gowe gubhatashiye a Yowana ga bhene bhandubha, pugaliji ga kweli.”
Many who came to him said, "John did not perform any signs, but everything he said about this man was true."
42 Penepo bhandu bhabhagwinji gubhaakulupalilenje a Yeshu.
And many believed on him there.
