Yohannis 10
1 “Ani dhuguman, dhuguman isinitti hima; namni balbalaan gola hoolotaa hin seennee, garuu karaa biraatiin koree seenu inni hattuu fi saamtuu dha.
'Verily, verily, I say to you, He who is not entering through the door to the fold of the sheep, but is going up from another side, that one is a thief and a robber;
2 Namni balbalaan seenu immoo tiksee hoolotaa ti.
and he who is entering through the door is shepherd of the sheep;
3 Eegduunis balbala isaaf bana; hoolonnis sagalee isaa ni dhagaʼu. Innis hoolota isaa maqaa maqaan waamee gad yaasa.
to this one the doorkeeper doth open, and the sheep hear his voice, and his own sheep he doth call by name, and doth lead them forth;
4 Erga warra kan isaa taʼan hunda gad yaasee booddee isaan dura deema; hoolonni isaas waan sagalee isaa beekaniif isa faana buʼu.
and when his own sheep he may put forth, before them he goeth on, and the sheep follow him, because they have known his voice;
5 Orma garuu ni baqatu malee faana hin buʼan; sagalee ormaa hin beekaniitii.”
and a stranger they will not follow, but will flee from him, because they have not known the voice of strangers.'
6 Yesuus fakkeenya kana isaanitti hime; isaan garuu akka inni maal isaanitti himaa ture hin hubanne.
This similitude spake Jesus to them, and they knew not what the things were that he was speaking to them;
7 Kanaafuu Yesuus ammas akkana jedheen; “Dhuguman, dhuguman isinitti hima; ani balbala hoolotaa ti.
Jesus said therefore again to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you — I am the door of the sheep;
8 Warri na dura dhufan hundi hattootaa fi saamtota; hoolonni garuu isaan hin dhageenye.
all, as many as came before me, are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear 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, through me if any one may come in, he shall be saved, and he shall come in, and go 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 doth not come, except that he may steal, and kill, and destroy; I came that they may have life, and may have [it] abundantly.
11 “Tikseen gaariin ana. Tikseen gaariin hoolota isaatiif jedhee lubbuu isaa dabarsee kenna.
'I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd his life layeth down 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.
and the hireling, and not being a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, doth behold the wolf coming, and doth leave the sheep, and doth flee; and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep;
13 Namichi waan qacaramaa taʼeef ni baqata; dhimma hoolotaas hin qabu.
and the hireling doth flee because he is an hireling, and is not caring for the sheep.
14 “Tikseen gaariin ana; ani hoolota koo beeka; hoolonni koos na beeku;
'I am the good shepherd, and I know my [sheep], and am known by mine,
15 kunis akkuma Abbaan na beekuttii fi akkuma ani Abbaa beekutti. Anis lubbuu koo hoolotaaf nan kenna.
according as the Father doth know me, and I know the Father, and my life I lay down 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.
and other sheep I have that are not of this fold, these also it behoveth me to bring, and my voice they will hear, and there shall become one flock — one shepherd.
17 Kanaafuu Abbaan waan ani deebisee fudhachuuf lubbuu koo dabarsee kennuuf na jaallata.
'Because of this doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that again I may take it;
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 doth take it from me, but I lay it down of myself; authority I have to lay it down, and authority I have again to take it; this command I received from my Father.'
19 Amma illee sababii dubbii kanaatiif Yihuudoota gidduutti garaa garummaan uumame.
Therefore, again, there came a division among the Jews, because of these words,
20 Baayʼeen isaaniis, “Hafuura hamaatu isa keessa jira; inni maraateera. Isin maaliif isa dhageessu?” jedhan.
and many of them said, 'He hath a demon, and is mad, why do ye hear him?'
21 Warri kaan immoo, “Kun jecha nama hafuura hamaadhaan qabame miti. Hafuurri hamaan ija nama jaamaa banuu ni dandaʼaa?” jedhan.
others said, 'These sayings are not those of a demoniac; is a demon able blind men's eyes to open?'
22 Yeroo sana Ayyaanni mana qulqullummaa haaromsuu Yerusaalemitti ayyaaneffamee ture. Yeroon sunis ganna ture;
And the dedication in Jerusalem came, and it was winter,
23 Yesuusis mana qulqullummaa keessa gardaafoo Solomoon keessa deddeebiʼaa ture.
and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the porch of Solomon,
24 Yihuudoonnis isa marsanii, “Hamma yoomiitti qalbii nu rarraaftaa? Ati yoo Kiristoos taate ifatti baasii nutti himi” jedhaniin.
the Jews, therefore, came round about him, and said to him, 'Till when our soul dost thou hold in suspense? if thou art the Christ, tell us freely.'
25 Yesuusis akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Ani isinitti himeera; isin garuu hin amantan. Hojiin ani maqaa Abbaa kootiitiin hojjedhu waaʼee koo dhugaa baʼa.
Jesus answered them, 'I told you, and ye do not believe; the works that I do in the name of my Father, these testify concerning me;
26 Isin garuu waan hoolota koo hin taʼiniif hin amantan.
but ye do not believe, for ye are not of my sheep,
27 Hoolonni koo sagalee koo ni dhagaʼu; anis isaan beeka; isaanis na faana buʼu.
according as I said to you: My sheep my voice do hear, and 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 hath given to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to pluck out of the hand of my Father;
30 Anii fi Abbaan tokkuma.”
I and the Father are one.'
31 Yihuudoonni isa dhaʼuuf jedhanii ammas dhagaa guurratan.
Therefore, again, did the Jews take up stones that they may 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 them, 'Many good works did I shew you from my Father; because of which work of them do ye stone 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, saying, 'For a good work we do not stone thee, but for evil speaking, and because thou, being a man, dost make thyself God.'
34 Yesuus immoo akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Seera keessan keessatti, ‘Anuu isin, “waaqota” jedheera’jedhamee barreeffameera mitii?
Jesus answered them, 'Is it not having been written in your law: I said, ye are gods?
35 Inni erga warra dubbiin Waaqaa isaaniif dhufeen ‘waaqota’ jedhee, Katabbiin Qulqulluun immoo waan hin diigamneef,
if them he did call gods unto whom the word of God came, (and the Writing is not able to be broken, )
36 sababii ani, ‘Ani ilma Waaqaa ti’ jedheef, isin maaliif isa Abbaan qulqulleessee gara addunyaatti erge sanaan ‘Ati Waaqa arrabsita’ jettu?
of him whom the Father did sanctify, and send to the world, do ye say — Thou speakest evil, because I said, Son of God I am?
37 Yoo ani hojii Abbaa kootii hojjechuu baadhe na hin amaninaa.
if I do not the works of my Father, do not 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.”
and if I do, even if me ye may not believe, the works believe, that ye may know and may believe that in me [is] the Father, and I in Him.'
39 Isaan amma illee isa qabuu barbaadan; inni garuu isaan harkaa miliqe.
Therefore were they seeking again to seize him, and he went forth out of their hand,
40 Yesuus ergasii deebiʼee Yordaanos gama iddoo Yohannis jalqabatti itti cuuphaa ture sana dhaqee achis ture.
and went away again to the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John was at first baptizing, and remained there,
41 Namoonni baayʼeenis gara isaa dhufanii, “Yohannis mallattoo tokko illee hin hojjenne; garuu wanni inni waaʼee namicha kanaa dubbate hundinuu dhugaa dha” jedhan.
and many came unto him, and said — 'John, indeed, did no sign, and all things, as many as John said about this one were true;'
42 Achittis namoonni hedduun Yesuusitti amanan.
and many did believe in him there.
