Yohannis 10
1 “Ani dhuguman, dhuguman isinitti hima; namni balbalaan gola hoolotaa hin seennee, garuu karaa biraatiin koree seenu inni hattuu fi saamtuu dha.
“Most assuredly, I tell you, whoever doesn’t enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber.
2 Namni balbalaan seenu immoo tiksee hoolotaa ti.
The one who enters by the gate is the sheep’s shepherd.
3 Eegduunis balbala isaaf bana; hoolonnis sagalee isaa ni dhagaʼu. Innis hoolota isaa maqaa maqaan waamee gad yaasa.
The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep hear his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
4 Erga warra kan isaa taʼan hunda gad yaasee booddee isaan dura deema; hoolonni isaas waan sagalee isaa beekaniif isa faana buʼu.
When he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
5 Orma garuu ni baqatu malee faana hin buʼan; sagalee ormaa hin beekaniitii.”
There is no way that they will follow a stranger, but will run away from the stranger, because they don’t know the voice of strangers.”
6 Yesuus fakkeenya kana isaanitti hime; isaan garuu akka inni maal isaanitti himaa ture hin hubanne.
Jesus used this illustration, but the Pharisees didn’t understand what He was telling them.
7 Kanaafuu Yesuus ammas akkana jedheen; “Dhuguman, dhuguman isinitti hima; ani balbala hoolotaa ti.
Then Jesus told them again, “Most assuredly, I tell you, I am the sheep’s door.
8 Warri na dura dhufan hundi hattootaa fi saamtota; hoolonni garuu isaan hin dhageenye.
All who ever came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn’t listen to them.
9 Balballi ana; namni karaa kootiin ol seenu kam iyyuu ni fayya. Inni ni seena; ni baʼas; lafa dheedaas ni argata.
I am the door. Anyone who enters by me will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.
10 Hattichi hatuuf, ajjeesuu fi balleessuu qofaaf dhufa; ani garuu akka isaan jireenya qabaataniif, jireenya irraa hafaas akka qabaataniif dhufeera.
The thief comes only to steal, and kill, and destroy. I came that they might have life, and that they might have it in all its fullness.
11 “Tikseen gaariin ana. Tikseen gaariin hoolota isaatiif jedhee lubbuu isaa dabarsee kenna.
I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.
12 Namni qacaramaan kan tiksee hin taʼin garuu waan hoolonni kan isaa hin taʼiniif yommuu dhufaatii yeeyyii argutti hoolota dhiisee baqata. Yeeyyiinis bushaayee ni butata; ni bittinneessas.
The hired hand, who isn’t the shepherd and doesn’t own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away. So, the wolf snatches them and scatters them.
13 Namichi waan qacaramaa taʼeef ni baqata; dhimma hoolotaas hin qabu.
The hired hand is concerned about the wages, and not the sheep, so the hired hand runs away.
14 “Tikseen gaariin ana; ani hoolota koo beeka; hoolonni koos na beeku;
I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me,
15 kunis akkuma Abbaan na beekuttii fi akkuma ani Abbaa beekutti. Anis lubbuu koo hoolotaaf nan kenna.
just as the Father knows me and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 Ani warra gola kanatti galan malees hoolota gara biraan qaba. Isaanis fiduun qaba. Isaanis sagalee koo ni dhagaʼu; karra tokkos ni taʼu; tikseen isaaniis tokko taʼa.
I have other sheep that don’t belong to this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So, there will be one flock, with one shepherd.
17 Kanaafuu Abbaan waan ani deebisee fudhachuuf lubbuu koo dabarsee kennuuf na jaallata.
For this reason the Father sincerely loves me, because I lay down my life, so that I may take it up again.
18 Lubbuu koo anumatu ofii kootiin dabarsee kenna malee eenyu iyyuu narraa hin fudhatu. Ani lubbuu koo dabarsee kennuuf taayitaan qaba; deebisee fudhachuufis taayitaan qaba. Ajaja kanas Abbaa koo biraa fudhadheera.”
No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down of my own free will. I have the authority to lay it down, and I have the authority to take it up again. I received this commandment from my Father.”
19 Amma illee sababii dubbii kanaatiif Yihuudoota gidduutti garaa garummaan uumame.
The Jews were divided again, because of these words.
20 Baayʼeen isaaniis, “Hafuura hamaatu isa keessa jira; inni maraateera. Isin maaliif isa dhageessu?” jedhan.
Many of them were saying, “He has a demon and is insane. Why do you listen to Him?”
21 Warri kaan immoo, “Kun jecha nama hafuura hamaadhaan qabame miti. Hafuurri hamaan ija nama jaamaa banuu ni dandaʼaa?” jedhan.
Others were saying, “These aren’t the sayings of a demon-possessed person. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”
22 Yeroo sana Ayyaanni mana qulqullummaa haaromsuu Yerusaalemitti ayyaaneffamee ture. Yeroon sunis ganna ture;
At that time the Feast of Dedication took place in Jerusalem. It was winter,
23 Yesuusis mana qulqullummaa keessa gardaafoo Solomoon keessa deddeebiʼaa ture.
and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon’s porch.
24 Yihuudoonnis isa marsanii, “Hamma yoomiitti qalbii nu rarraaftaa? Ati yoo Kiristoos taate ifatti baasii nutti himi” jedhaniin.
Then the Jews gathered around Him, and asked Him, “How long will You keep us in suspense? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly.”
25 Yesuusis akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Ani isinitti himeera; isin garuu hin amantan. Hojiin ani maqaa Abbaa kootiitiin hojjedhu waaʼee koo dhugaa baʼa.
Jesus answered, “I told you, but you don’t believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name testify about me,
26 Isin garuu waan hoolota koo hin taʼiniif hin amantan.
but you don’t believe, because you aren’t of my sheep.
27 Hoolonni koo sagalee koo ni dhagaʼu; anis isaan beeka; isaanis na faana buʼu.
My sheep listen to my voice. I know them, and they follow me.
29 Abbaan koo kan natti isaan kenne sun hunduma caala; namni tokko iyyuu harka Abbaa kootii keessaa isaan butachuu hin dandaʼu.
My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of my Father’s hand.
30 Anii fi Abbaan tokkuma.”
I and my Father are one.”
31 Yihuudoonni isa dhaʼuuf jedhanii ammas dhagaa guurratan.
Therefore the Jews took up stones again to stone Him.
32 Yesuusis, “Ani hojii Abbaa kootii gaarii baayʼee isinitti argisiiseera. Hojii kana keessaa isin sababii isa kamiitiif dhagaadhaan na dhooftu?” jedheen.
Jesus answered, “I showed you many good works from the Father. For which of them are you stoning me?”
33 Yihuudoonnis, “Nu hojii gaariif jennee dhagaadhaan si hin dhoofnu; garuu waan ati Waaqa arrabsitee utumaa nama taatee jirtuu Waaqa of gooteef si dhoofna” jedhanii deebisaniif.
The Jews answered Him, “We aren’t stoning you for a good work, but for blasphemy, because You, being a man, claim to be God.”
34 Yesuus immoo akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Seera keessan keessatti, ‘Anuu isin, “waaqota” jedheera’jedhamee barreeffameera mitii?
Jesus answered, “Isn’t it written in your Law, ‘I said, “You are gods”’?
35 Inni erga warra dubbiin Waaqaa isaaniif dhufeen ‘waaqota’ jedhee, Katabbiin Qulqulluun immoo waan hin diigamneef,
If he, who God’s word came to, called them gods, (and the Scripture can’t be broken),
36 sababii ani, ‘Ani ilma Waaqaa ti’ jedheef, isin maaliif isa Abbaan qulqulleessee gara addunyaatti erge sanaan ‘Ati Waaqa arrabsita’ jettu?
do you say of Him who the Father set apart and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’?
37 Yoo ani hojii Abbaa kootii hojjechuu baadhe na hin amaninaa.
If I don’t do my Father’s works, then don’t believe me.
38 Yoo ani hojii sana hojjedhe garuu yoo na amanuu baattan illee hojicha amanaa; kunis akka Abbaan na keessa jiru, akka anis Abbaa keessa jiru beektanii akka hubattaniif.”
But if I do them, even if you don’t believe me, believe the works, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I am in the Father.”
39 Isaan amma illee isa qabuu barbaadan; inni garuu isaan harkaa miliqe.
Therefore they were trying again to seize Him, and He escaped from their grasp.
40 Yesuus ergasii deebiʼee Yordaanos gama iddoo Yohannis jalqabatti itti cuuphaa ture sana dhaqee achis ture.
Jesus went away again across the Jordan to the place where John was first baptizing, and He was staying there.
41 Namoonni baayʼeenis gara isaa dhufanii, “Yohannis mallattoo tokko illee hin hojjenne; garuu wanni inni waaʼee namicha kanaa dubbate hundinuu dhugaa dha” jedhan.
Many came to Him and were saying, “John performed no miraculous sign, but everything that John said about this man was true.”
42 Achittis namoonni hedduun Yesuusitti amanan.
Many believed in Jesus there.
