Yowana 10
1 “Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, jojowe akajinjila nshitundu sha ngondolo kupitila pannango, ikabhe nipeleta panape, jwenejo nngwii na nkupokonyola.
Verily, verily, I say unto you: —He that entereth not, through the door, into the fold of the sheep, but goeth up from another place, that man, is, a thief, and, a robber.
2 Ikabheje apitila pa nnango, jwenejo nshunga jwa ngondolo.
But, he that entereth through the door, is, 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 openeth, and, the sheep, unto his voice, hearken: and, his own sheep, he calleth by name, and leadeth them forth.
4 Aikopoyaga palanga anakwilongolela mmujo, numbe ngondolo ilikunkagula, pabha bhanakulimanyanga lilobhe lyakwe.
As soon as, all his own, he hath put forth, before them, he moveth on, and, the sheep, follow him, because they know his voice;
5 Ngondolo nngankagula nnjeni, ikabhe shiimmutushe, pabha ikakulimanya lilobhe lyakwe.”
But, a stranger, will they in nowise follow, but will flee from him, because they know not the voice, of strangers.
6 A Yeshu bhashinkwabhalanjilanga lwene lutangolu, ikabheje bhangashimanyanga shibhalugulilwenje.
This similitude, spake Jesus unto them; but, those men, understood not what the things were which he was speaking unto them.
7 Bhai a Yeshu, gubhashite kabhili, “Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, nne nnango gwa ngondolo.
Jesus, therefore, said, again—Verily, verily, I say unto you: —I, am the door of the sheep:
8 Bhowenji bhalongolelenje nganabheika nne, bhagwii na bhaapokonyola na yalakwe ngondolo yangaapilikanilanga.
All, as many as came before me, are thieves, and, robbers: but the sheep hearkened nor unto them.
9 Nne nnango. Ajinjila kupitila nne shatapulwe na shajinjile nikopoka na shaapate shalya.
I, am the door: through me, if anyone enter, he shall be saved, and shall come in and go out, and, pasture, shall find.
10 Nngwii anakwiya nkupinga, kujibha, kubhulaga na kuangabhanya. Nne njikwiya nkupinga nkolanje gumi, numbe gumi gwa punda.
The thief, cometh not, save that he may thieve and slay and destroy: I, came, that, life, they might have, and, above measure, might have.
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, his life, layeth down, 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 hireling, even because he is no shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, vieweth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth, —and, the wolf, seizeth them and scattereth, —
13 Anabhutuka pabha jwenejo mundu jwa nshaalape akajali ga ngondolo pabha nngabha yakwe.
Because, a hireling, he is, and hath no care for the sheep.
14 Nne nshunga jwa mmbone. Bhalinginji bhangu naamanyinji, na bhalabhonji bhalinginji bhangu bhamanyinji,
I, am the good shepherd, and know my own, and, my own, know me, —
15 malinga Atati shibhamanya nne, na nne shingwamanya Atati. Nne ngunakwishoya gumi gwangu kwa ligongo lyabhonji.
Just as, the Father, knoweth me, and, I, know, the Father; and, my life, I lay down 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, other sheep, have I, which are not of this fold: those also, I must needs bring, and, unto my voice, will they hearken, and there shall come to be, One flock, One shepherd.
17 “Kwa nneyo Atati bhanambinga, pabha ngunakuushoya gumi gwangu nkupinga umujile kabhili.
Therefore, doth the Father, love, me, because, I, lay down my life, that, again, I may receive it: —
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, forced it from me, but, I, lay it down, of myself, —Authority, have I, to lay it down, and, authority, have I, again, to receive it: This commandment, received I, from my Father.
19 Gugakoposhele kabhili malekano munkumbi gwa Bhayaudi kwa ligongo lya gene malobhego.
A division, again, took place among the Jews, because of these words.
20 Bhabhagwinji gubhashitenje, “Bhashikola maoka, numbe bhalwele shalubha! Kwa nndi kwaapilikanishiya?”
But many from among them were saying—A demon, he hath, and is raving, —Why, unto him, do ye hearken?
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 demonized, —Can, a demon, open the eyes of, the blind?
22 Bhai ku Yelushalemu shashinkupagwa shikukuu sha kumbushila kulimbula likanisha. Gene mobhago pugaliji ga shipwepwe.
The feast of dedication took place at that time, in Jerusalem: it was, winter,
23 Na bhalabho a Yeshu bhatendaga owa ku likanisha nnukumbi lwa a Shelemani.
and Jesus was walking 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 were saying unto him—How long, holdest thou, our lives, in suspense? If, thou, art the Christ, tell us, plainly.
25 A Yeshu gubhaajangwilenje, “Nimmalanjilenje, ikabheje nkaakulupalilanga. Maengo gungukamula kwa lina lya Atati ganangong'ondela.
Jesus answered them—I told you, and ye believe not: The works which, I, am doing in the name of my Father, the same, bear witness concerning me.
26 Ikabheje mmanganyanji nkaakulupalilanga, pabha mmanganyanji nngabha ngondolo yangu.
But, ye, believe not, because ye are not of my sheep.
27 Ngondolo yangu inapilikana lilobhe lyangu, nne ngulikwiimanya, na yalakwe inaangagula.
My sheep, unto my voice, hearken, —and, I, know, them, and they follow me, —
29 Atati bhambele yene ngondoloyo ni bhakulungwa kupunda bhowe, wala jwakwa shakombole kwaashoyanga mmakono ga Atati.
What, my Father, hath given me, is, something greater than all, and, no one, can carry off 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 again lifted up 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 works, have I showed you, noble ones, from my Father: For which of those works are ye stoning 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—Concerning a noble work, are we not stoning thee; but concerning profane speech, —and because, thou, being, a man, art making 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, those, he called gods, unto 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?’
Of him whom, the Father, hallowed and sent forth into the world, are, ye, saying—Thou speakest profanely, because I said, Son of God, I am?
37 Monaga ngakamula maengo ga Atati, nnangulupalilanje.
If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not believe in 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, even though, in me, ye believe not, in the works, believe, —that ye may get to know and go on to know, that the Father is, in me, and, I, am, in the Father.
39 Gubhalinjilenje kwaakamula kabhili, ikabheje gubhakolobhweshe mmakono gabhonji.
They were [therefore] again seeking to take him; and he went forth out of their hand.
40 A Yeshu gubhapite kung'ambo lushi lwa Yolodani, kubhabhatishaga a Yowana bhukala, gubhatemi kweneko.
And he went away again, beyond the Jordan, unto the place where John was at the first, immersing; 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 unto him, and were saying—John, indeed, did not so much as, one sign; but, all things, whatsoever John said concerning this one, were, true.
42 Penepo bhandu bhabhagwinji gubhaakulupalilenje a Yeshu.
And, many, believed on him there.
