Yohani 10
1 “Yesu kawagambira, yoseri yakingira ndiri mulizizi lya kondolu kwa kupitira mlyangu, ira mulupenu na kwingira kwa njira yimonga, ayu ndo mwivi na mkwepula.
“Most certainly, I tell you, one who doesn’t enter by the door into the sheep fold, but climbs up some other way, is a thief and a robber.
2 Muntu yakingira kwa kupitira pamulyangu, ayu ndo mweni mlolera gwa kondolu.
But one who enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 Mlolera mlyangu kamvugulira yomberi, kondolu wapikinira liziwu lyakuwi, nayomberi kawashema kondolu wakuwi kila yumu litawu lyakuwi na kuwalonguziya kunja.
The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
4 Pakawalavia kunja kawalongulera palongolu, nawomberi kondolu wamfata, kwani walimana liziwu lyakuwi.
Whenever he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
5 Kondolu awa hapeni wawezi kumfata muntu gwingi, ira watuga toziya walimana ndiri liziwu lyakuwi.”
They will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him; for they don’t know the voice of strangers.”
6 Yesu kawagambiriti mfanu agu, kumbiti womberi wavimana ndiri shakafiriti kuwagambira.
Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they didn’t understand what he was telling them.
7 Su, Yesu katakula kayi, “Nakaka nuwagambireni, neni ndo mlyangu gwa kondolu.
Jesus therefore said to them again, “Most certainly, I tell you, I am the sheep’s door.
8 Wamonga woseri walii wiziti pamberi pa neni ndo wivi na wakwepula, kumbiti kondolu wawapikinira ndiri.
All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn’t listen to them.
9 Neni ndo mlyangu. Yakingira kupitira neni hakalopoziwi, hakingiri na kulawa na hakapati maliziwu.
I am the door. If anyone enters in by me, he will be saved, and will go in and go out and will find pasture.
10 Mwivi kizaga su kiwi na kalagi na kahalabisiyi. Neni niza mpati kuwera na ukomu, ukomu ukamilika.
The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.
11 “Neni ndo mlolera muheri. Mlolera muheri kalaviyaga ukomu wakuwi kwa kondolu wakuwi.
“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
12 Muntu gwa shibenamgongu, yomberi mlolera ndiri na wala kondolu wakuwi ndiri, pakamuwona liminyi kankwiza, kaleka kondolu na kutuga, liminyi kawabata wakondolu na kuwapalasiyanga.
He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who doesn’t own the sheep, sees the wolf coming, leaves the sheep, and flees. The wolf snatches the sheep and scatters them.
13 Muntu gwa shibenamgongu katuga toziya yomberi gwa shibenamgongu hera, hapeni kawaloleri wakondolu.
The hired hand flees because he is a hired hand and doesn’t care for the sheep.
14 Neni ndo mlolera muheri. Nuwamana wakondolu wangu nawomberi wamana neni,
I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and I’m known by my own;
15 gambira Tati ntambu yakamana neni, naneni ntambu yanummana Tati. Neni ndaviya ukomu wangu kwajili ya womberi.
even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 Nana wakondolu wamonga yawaweriti ndiri mulizizi ali. Inazimu kuwajega viraa, womberi hawalipikiniri liziwu lya neni, na hakuweri shipinga shimu na mlolera yumu.
I have other sheep which are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will hear my voice. They will become one flock with one shepherd.
17 “Tati kanfira neni toziya ndaviya ukomu wangu, su mpati kuwuwanka kayi.
Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
18 Kwahera muntu yakampoka ukomu wangu, neni nuwulaviya mweni. Nana uwezu wa kuwulaviya na kuwutola kayi. Hangu ndo Tati kandagaliriti ntendi.”
No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down by myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. I received this commandment from my Father.”
19 Kuwera kayi na malekaniru pakati pa Wayawudi toziya ya visoweru avi.
Therefore a division arose again among the Jews because of these words.
20 Wantu wavuwa watakuliti, “Kana shamshera, kayi kanalukwali! Gwa shishi kumpikinira?”
Many of them said, “He has a demon and is insane! Why do you listen to him?”
21 Wamonga walonga, “Shisoweru ashi sha muntu kana shamshera ndiri. Hashi, shamshera kaweza ashi kuponiziya muntu kana lwisi?”
Others said, “These are not the sayings of one possessed by a demon. It isn’t possible for a demon to open the eyes of the blind, is it?”
22 Aku Yerusalemu kuweriti na msambu gwa kumlavilira Mlungu Numba nkulu ya Mlungu, shipindi ashi shiweriti sha mpepu.
It was the Feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem.
23 Yesu kaweriti kankugendagenda Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu pahala wapashemiti Mdamu gwa Selemani.
It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon’s porch.
24 Su, Wayawudi wamzyengeta Yesu, wamkosiya, “Hagutuleki pota na nakaka mpaka ndii? Gutugambiri nakaka pota kufifa, Hashi, gwenga ndo Kristu?”
The Jews therefore came around him and said to him, “How long will you hold us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.”
25 Yesu kawankula, “Nuwagambireni kala, kumbiti mnjimira ndiri. Lihengu lyantenda neni kwa uwezu wa Tati gwangu wakuntakuziya.
Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you don’t believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name, these testify about me.
26 Kumbiti mwenga mnjimira ndiri toziya mwenga mwa kondolu wa neni ndiri.
But you don’t believe, because you are not of my sheep, as I told you.
27 Wakondolu wangu wapikinira liziwu lyangu, neni nuwamana, nawomberi wanfati.
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
29 Tati gwangu ndo mweni yakanupiti hawa nayomberi ndo mkulu kuliku woseri. Kwahera yakaweza kuwawusiya mmawoku mwakuwi.
My Father who has given them to me is greater than all. No one is able to snatch them out of my Father’s hand.
30 Neni na Tati, twayumu.”
I and the Father are one.”
31 Su, Wayawudi watola mabuwi wamgumi.
Therefore the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
32 Yesu kawagambira, “Nuwalanguziyeni mahengu gavuwa kulawa kwa Tati. Nuwatendera shishi shamfira kung'uma na mabuwi?”
Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?”
33 Wayawudi wamwankula, “Hapeni tukugumi kwajili ya matendu maheri, kumbiti kwa kumwigilanga Mlungu! Gwenga ndo muntu hera kumbiti mweni gwenga gulitenda kuwera Mlungu.”
The Jews answered him, “We don’t stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God.”
34 Yesu kawankula, “Walembiti Mumalagaliru genu, Neni nonga, ‘mwenga ndo milungu?’
Jesus answered them, “Isn’t it written in your law, ‘I said, you are gods’?
35 Mlungu kawashemiti milungu walii wawapanana ujumbi wakuwi, natwenga tuvimana handa Malembu Mananagala gatakula nakaka mashaka goseri.
If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture can’t be broken),
36 Kumbiti neni, Tati ndo kansyaguliti na kantumiti pasipanu. Iwera ashi mung'ambira neni nigilanga toziya ntakuliti ‘Neni Namwana gwa Mlungu?’
do you say of him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You blaspheme,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?
37 Namunjimira neni, pamwona ntenda ndiri vitwatira vya Tati gwangu.
If I don’t do the works of my Father, don’t believe me.
38 Kumbiti pantenda vitwatira avi, ata pamunjimira ndiri neni, muvijimiri ata vitwatira vyantenda, su mpati kuvimana nakaka kulonga Tati ka mngati mwangu na neni namngati mwa Tati.”
But if I do them, though you don’t believe me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.”
39 Wajeriti kayi kumbata Yesu kumbiti kawukiti pakati pawu.
They sought again to seize him, and he went out of their hand.
40 Yesu kagenda kayi kumwambu ku lushemba Yoridani, pahala Yohani pakaweriti kankubatiza, kalikaliti aku.
He went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was baptizing at first, and he stayed there.
41 Wantu wavuwa wamgenderiti pawalonga, “Yohani katenda ndiri liuzauza lyoseri, ira goseri Yohani gakatakuliti kuusu muntu ayu ndo nakaka.”
Many came to him. They said, “John indeed did no sign, but everything that John said about this man is true.”
42 Na wantu wavuwa pahala palii wamjimira.
Many believed in him there.
