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, That he who doth not enter by the door into the fold of the flock, but climbeth up in some other place, he is a thief and a robber.
2 Ikabheje apitila pa nnango, jwenejo nshunga jwa ngondolo.
But he that entereth by the door, is the shepherd of the flock.
3 Nkulinda nnango gwa shitundu, anakunng'ugulila nshunga na ngondolo inapilikana lilobhe lyakwe, na anakwiishema ngondolo yakwe kwa mena gabhonji, nikwilongoya palanga.
And to him the door-keeper openeth the door; and the sheep hear his voice. And he calleth the sheep by their names, and leadeth them out.
4 Aikopoyaga palanga anakwilongolela mmujo, numbe ngondolo ilikunkagula, pabha bhanakulimanyanga lilobhe lyakwe.
And when he hath led out his flock, he goeth before it; and his sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
5 Ngondolo nngankagula nnjeni, ikabhe shiimmutushe, pabha ikakulimanya lilobhe lyakwe.”
But after a stranger the flock will not follow, but it fleeth from him; because it knoweth not the voice of a stranger.
6 A Yeshu bhashinkwabhalanjilanga lwene lutangolu, ikabheje bhangashimanyanga shibhalugulilwenje.
This allegory spake Jesus to them; but they knew not what he said to them.
7 Bhai a Yeshu, gubhashite kabhili, “Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, nne nnango gwa ngondolo.
And Jesus said to them again: Verily, verily, I say to you, That I am the door of the flock.
8 Bhowenji bhalongolelenje nganabheika nne, bhagwii na bhaapokonyola na yalakwe ngondolo yangaapilikanilanga.
All those who have come, were thieves and robbers: but the flock did not hear them.
9 Nne nnango. Ajinjila kupitila nne shatapulwe na shajinjile nikopoka na shaapate shalya.
I am the door: and if any enter by me, he will live, and will come in and go out, and will find pasture.
10 Nngwii anakwiya nkupinga, kujibha, kubhulaga na kuangabhanya. Nne njikwiya nkupinga nkolanje gumi, numbe gumi gwa punda.
The thief cometh not, but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy. I have come, that they may have life, and may have that which is excellent.
11 “Nne nshunga jwa mmbone. Nshunga jwa mmbone akajogopa shoya gumi gwakwe kwa ligongo lya ngondolo yakwe.
I am a good shepherd. A good shepherd exposeth 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 a hireling, who is not the shepherd, and to whom the sheep do not belong, when he seeth the wolf coming, leaveth the flock, and fleeth; and the wolf cometh, and teareth, and disperseth the flock.
13 Anabhutuka pabha jwenejo mundu jwa nshaalape akajali ga ngondolo pabha nngabha yakwe.
And a hireling fleeth, because he is a hireling, and hath no concern for the flock.
14 Nne nshunga jwa mmbone. Bhalinginji bhangu naamanyinji, na bhalabhonji bhalinginji bhangu bhamanyinji,
I am a good shepherd; and I know my own sheep, and am known by my own.
15 malinga Atati shibhamanya nne, na nne shingwamanya Atati. Nne ngunakwishoya gumi gwangu kwa ligongo lyabhonji.
As my Father knoweth me, so know I my Father; and I expose my life for the flock.
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: and them also I must bring; and they will hear my voice; and the whole will be one flock, and one shepherd.
17 “Kwa nneyo Atati bhanambinga, pabha ngunakuushoya gumi gwangu nkupinga umujile kabhili.
For this cause my Father loveth me, that I lay down my life, to resume 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.”
There is no one that taketh it from me; but I lay it down of my own pleasure: for I have authority to lay it down, and authority to resume it again; because I have received this command from my Father.
19 Gugakoposhele kabhili malekano munkumbi gwa Bhayaudi kwa ligongo lya gene malobhego.
And again there was a division among the Jews, on account of these sayings.
20 Bhabhagwinji gubhashitenje, “Bhashikola maoka, numbe bhalwele shalubha! Kwa nndi kwaapilikanishiya?”
And many of them said: He hath a demon, and is wholly beside himself; why hear ye him?
21 Bhananji gubhashitenje, “Aga nngabha malobhe gaka mundu akwete maoka. Bhuli, lioka linakombola kulamya meyo gaka nangalole?”
But others said: These are not the discourses of a demoniac: can a demon open the eyes of one blind?
22 Bhai ku Yelushalemu shashinkupagwa shikukuu sha kumbushila kulimbula likanisha. Gene mobhago pugaliji ga shipwepwe.
And the feast of the dedication was held 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.”
And the Jews gathered around him; and said to him: how long holdest thou our mind in suspense? If thou art the Messiah, tell us plainly.
25 A Yeshu gubhaajangwilenje, “Nimmalanjilenje, ikabheje nkaakulupalilanga. Maengo gungukamula kwa lina lya Atati ganangong'ondela.
Jesus answered, and said to them: I have told you, and ye did not believe. The works which I do in the name of my Father, they testify of me
26 Ikabheje mmanganyanji nkaakulupalilanga, pabha mmanganyanji nngabha ngondolo yangu.
But ye do not believe, because ye are not of my sheep, as I have said to you.
27 Ngondolo yangu inapilikana lilobhe lyangu, nne ngulikwiimanya, na yalakwe inaangagula.
My sheep hear my voice: and I know them: and they go after me.
29 Atati bhambele yene ngondoloyo ni bhakulungwa kupunda bhowe, wala jwakwa shakombole kwaashoyanga mmakono ga Atati.
For my Father, who gave them to me, is greater than all; nor can any pluck from my Father's hand.
30 Nne na Atati, tubhamope.”
I and my Father are one.
31 Bhai Bhayaudi gubhalokwetenje maganga nkupinga bhaakomanje.
And again the Jews took up stones, to stone him.
32 A Yeshu gubhaabhalugulilenje, “Ninnangwiyenje maengo ga mmbone gamagwinji kopoka kwa Atati. Gei gundendile gatenda nngomanje maganga?”
Jesus said to them: Many good works have I showed you from my Father; for which of those works 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 said to him: It is not on account of good works, that we stone thee: but because thou blasphemest; and, whilst thou art a man, thou makest thyself God.
34 A Yeshu gubhaajangwilenje, “Bhuli shalia jenunji jangajandika Mmajandiko ga Ukonjelo kuti a Nnungu bhaashite, ‘Nne njite, mmanganyanji ashi nnungu’?
Jesus said to them: Is it not written in your law, I have 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, because the word of God was with them, and the scripture cannot be nullified;
36 Jwene aagwilwe na Atati nikuntuma kushilambolyo, nkummalanjilanga kuti bhuli, ‘Unatukana,’ pabha njibheleketa, ‘Nne Mwana jwa a Nnungu?’
do ye say to him, whom the Father, hath sanctified and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said to you, I am the Son of God?
37 Monaga ngakamula maengo ga Atati, nnangulupalilanje.
And 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 them, although ye believe not me, yet believe the works; that ye may know and believe, that my Father is in me, and I in my Father.
39 Gubhalinjilenje kwaakamula kabhili, ikabheje gubhakolobhweshe mmakono gabhonji.
And again they sought to lay hold of him; but he escaped out of their hands;
40 A Yeshu gubhapite kung'ambo lushi lwa Yolodani, kubhabhatishaga a Yowana bhukala, gubhatemi kweneko.
and retired to the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John at first baptized, and tarried there.
41 Bhandu bhabhagwinji gubhaajendelenje gubhashitenje, “A Yowana bhangatenda ilangulo yoyowe. Ikabheje gowe gubhatashiye a Yowana ga bhene bhandubha, pugaliji ga kweli.”
And many persons came to him: and they said, John indeed wrought not even one sign; but every thing that John said of his man, was true.
42 Penepo bhandu bhabhagwinji gubhaakulupalilenje a Yeshu.
And many believed on him.
