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.
'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 Muntu yakingira kwa kupitira pamulyangu, ayu ndo mweni mlolera gwa kondolu.
and he who is entering through the door is shepherd of the sheep;
3 Mlolera mlyangu kamvugulira yomberi, kondolu wapikinira liziwu lyakuwi, nayomberi kawashema kondolu wakuwi kila yumu litawu lyakuwi na kuwalonguziya kunja.
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 Pakawalavia kunja kawalongulera palongolu, nawomberi kondolu wamfata, kwani walimana liziwu lyakuwi.
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 Kondolu awa hapeni wawezi kumfata muntu gwingi, ira watuga toziya walimana ndiri liziwu lyakuwi.”
and a stranger they will not follow, but will flee from him, because they have not known the voice of strangers.'
6 Yesu kawagambiriti mfanu agu, kumbiti womberi wavimana ndiri shakafiriti kuwagambira.
This similitude spake Jesus to them, and they knew not what the things were that he was speaking to them;
7 Su, Yesu katakula kayi, “Nakaka nuwagambireni, neni ndo mlyangu gwa kondolu.
Jesus said therefore again to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you — I am the door of the sheep;
8 Wamonga woseri walii wiziti pamberi pa neni ndo wivi na wakwepula, kumbiti kondolu wawapikinira ndiri.
all, as many as came before me, are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them;
9 Neni ndo mlyangu. Yakingira kupitira neni hakalopoziwi, hakingiri na kulawa na hakapati maliziwu.
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 Mwivi kizaga su kiwi na kalagi na kahalabisiyi. Neni niza mpati kuwera na ukomu, ukomu ukamilika.
'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 “Neni ndo mlolera muheri. Mlolera muheri kalaviyaga ukomu wakuwi kwa kondolu wakuwi.
'I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd his life layeth down 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.
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 Muntu gwa shibenamgongu katuga toziya yomberi gwa shibenamgongu hera, hapeni kawaloleri wakondolu.
and the hireling doth flee because he is an hireling, and is not caring for the sheep.
14 Neni ndo mlolera muheri. Nuwamana wakondolu wangu nawomberi wamana neni,
'I am the good shepherd, and I know my [sheep], and am known by mine,
15 gambira Tati ntambu yakamana neni, naneni ntambu yanummana Tati. Neni ndaviya ukomu wangu kwajili ya womberi.
according as the Father doth know me, and I know the Father, and my life I lay down 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.
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 “Tati kanfira neni toziya ndaviya ukomu wangu, su mpati kuwuwanka kayi.
'Because of this doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that again I may take it;
18 Kwahera muntu yakampoka ukomu wangu, neni nuwulaviya mweni. Nana uwezu wa kuwulaviya na kuwutola kayi. Hangu ndo Tati kandagaliriti ntendi.”
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 Kuwera kayi na malekaniru pakati pa Wayawudi toziya ya visoweru avi.
Therefore, again, there came a division among the Jews, because of these words,
20 Wantu wavuwa watakuliti, “Kana shamshera, kayi kanalukwali! Gwa shishi kumpikinira?”
and many of them said, 'He hath a demon, and is mad, why do ye hear him?'
21 Wamonga walonga, “Shisoweru ashi sha muntu kana shamshera ndiri. Hashi, shamshera kaweza ashi kuponiziya muntu kana lwisi?”
others said, 'These sayings are not those of a demoniac; is a demon able blind men's eyes to open?'
22 Aku Yerusalemu kuweriti na msambu gwa kumlavilira Mlungu Numba nkulu ya Mlungu, shipindi ashi shiweriti sha mpepu.
And the dedication in Jerusalem came, and it was winter,
23 Yesu kaweriti kankugendagenda Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu pahala wapashemiti Mdamu gwa Selemani.
and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the porch of Solomon,
24 Su, Wayawudi wamzyengeta Yesu, wamkosiya, “Hagutuleki pota na nakaka mpaka ndii? Gutugambiri nakaka pota kufifa, Hashi, gwenga ndo Kristu?”
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 Yesu kawankula, “Nuwagambireni kala, kumbiti mnjimira ndiri. Lihengu lyantenda neni kwa uwezu wa Tati gwangu wakuntakuziya.
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 Kumbiti mwenga mnjimira ndiri toziya mwenga mwa kondolu wa neni ndiri.
but ye do not believe, for ye are not of my sheep,
27 Wakondolu wangu wapikinira liziwu lyangu, neni nuwamana, nawomberi wanfati.
according as I said to you: My sheep my voice do hear, 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 hath given to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to pluck out of the hand of my Father;
30 Neni na Tati, twayumu.”
I and the Father are one.'
31 Su, Wayawudi watola mabuwi wamgumi.
Therefore, again, did the Jews take up stones that they may stone him;
32 Yesu kawagambira, “Nuwalanguziyeni mahengu gavuwa kulawa kwa Tati. Nuwatendera shishi shamfira kung'uma na mabuwi?”
Jesus answered them, 'Many good works did I shew you from my Father; because of which work of them do ye 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, 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 Yesu kawankula, “Walembiti Mumalagaliru genu, Neni nonga, ‘mwenga ndo milungu?’
Jesus answered them, 'Is it not having been written in your law: I said, ye are gods?
35 Mlungu kawashemiti milungu walii wawapanana ujumbi wakuwi, natwenga tuvimana handa Malembu Mananagala gatakula nakaka mashaka goseri.
if them he did call gods unto whom the word of God came, (and the Writing is not able to be broken, )
36 Kumbiti neni, Tati ndo kansyaguliti na kantumiti pasipanu. Iwera ashi mung'ambira neni nigilanga toziya ntakuliti ‘Neni Namwana gwa Mlungu?’
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 Namunjimira neni, pamwona ntenda ndiri vitwatira vya Tati gwangu.
if I do not the works of my Father, do not 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.”
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 Wajeriti kayi kumbata Yesu kumbiti kawukiti pakati pawu.
Therefore were they seeking again to seize him, and he went forth out of their hand,
40 Yesu kagenda kayi kumwambu ku lushemba Yoridani, pahala Yohani pakaweriti kankubatiza, kalikaliti aku.
and went away again to the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John was at first baptizing, and remained there,
41 Wantu wavuwa wamgenderiti pawalonga, “Yohani katenda ndiri liuzauza lyoseri, ira goseri Yohani gakatakuliti kuusu muntu ayu ndo nakaka.”
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 Na wantu wavuwa pahala palii wamjimira.
and many did believe in him there.
