yōhanaḥ 10
1 ahaṁ yuṣmānatiyathārthaṁ vadāmi, yō janō dvārēṇa na praviśya kēnāpyanyēna mēṣagr̥haṁ praviśati sa ēva stēnō dasyuśca|
“Most assuredly I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2 yō dvārēṇa praviśati sa ēva mēṣapālakaḥ|
But he who enters by the door is a shepherd of the sheep.
3 dauvārikastasmai dvāraṁ mōcayati mēṣagaṇaśca tasya vākyaṁ śr̥ṇōti sa nijān mēṣān svasvanāmnāhūya bahiḥ kr̥tvā nayati|
To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
4 tathā nijān mēṣān bahiḥ kr̥tvā svayaṁ tēṣām agrē gacchati, tatō mēṣāstasya śabdaṁ budhyantē, tasmāt tasya paścād vrajanti|
And whenever he takes out his own sheep he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice.
5 kintu parasya śabdaṁ na budhyantē tasmāt tasya paścād vrajiṣyanti varaṁ tasya samīpāt palāyiṣyantē|
But they will not follow a stranger; rather they will run away from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.”
6 yīśustēbhya imāṁ dr̥ṣṭāntakathām akathayat kintu tēna kathitakathāyāstātparyyaṁ tē nābudhyanta|
Jesus gave them this illustration, but they did not understand what He was telling them.
7 atō yīśuḥ punarakathayat, yuṣmānāhaṁ yathārthataraṁ vyāharāmi, mēṣagr̥hasya dvāram ahamēva|
Then Jesus addressed them again: “Most assuredly I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 mayā na praviśya ya āgacchan tē stēnā dasyavaśca kintu mēṣāstēṣāṁ kathā nāśr̥ṇvan|
All who ever came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.
9 ahamēva dvārasvarūpaḥ, mayā yaḥ kaścita praviśati sa rakṣāṁ prāpsyati tathā bahirantaśca gamanāgamanē kr̥tvā caraṇasthānaṁ prāpsyati|
I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.
10 yō janastēnaḥ sa kēvalaṁ stainyabadhavināśān karttumēva samāyāti kintvaham āyu rdātum arthāt bāhūlyēna tadēva dātum āgaccham|
The thief comes only in order to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come so that they may have life, and have it abundantly.
11 ahamēva satyamēṣapālakō yastu satyō mēṣapālakaḥ sa mēṣārthaṁ prāṇatyāgaṁ karōti;
“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life on behalf of the sheep.
12 kintu yō janō mēṣapālakō na, arthād yasya mēṣā nijā na bhavanti, ya ētādr̥śō vaitanikaḥ sa vr̥kam āgacchantaṁ dr̥ṣṭvā mējavrajaṁ vihāya palāyatē, tasmād vr̥kastaṁ vrajaṁ dhr̥tvā vikirati|
But the hired man, not being the shepherd and not owning the sheep, sees the wolf coming and abandons the sheep, and runs away; and the wolf snatches the sheep and scatters them.
13 vaitanikaḥ palāyatē yataḥ sa vētanārthī mēṣārthaṁ na cintayati|
Now the hired man runs away because he is a hired man and it does not matter to him about the sheep.
14 ahamēva satyō mēṣapālakaḥ, pitā māṁ yathā jānāti, ahañca yathā pitaraṁ jānāmi,
“I am the good shepherd, and I know my own sheep, and I am known by them.
15 tathā nijān mēṣānapi jānāmi, mēṣāśca māṁ jānānti, ahañca mēṣārthaṁ prāṇatyāgaṁ karōmi|
Just as the Father knows me, I also know the Father, and I lay down my life on behalf of the sheep.
16 aparañca ētad gr̥hīya mēṣēbhyō bhinnā api mēṣā mama santi tē sakalā ānayitavyāḥ; tē mama śabdaṁ śrōṣyanti tata ēkō vraja ēkō rakṣakō bhaviṣyati|
I also have other sheep, that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice; and there will be one flock, one shepherd.
17 prāṇānahaṁ tyaktvā punaḥ prāṇān grahīṣyāmi, tasmāt pitā mayi snēhaṁ karōti|
“Because of this the Father loves me, in that I lay down my life so that I may take it up again.
18 kaścijjanō mama prāṇān hantuṁ na śaknōti kintu svayaṁ tān samarpayāmi tān samarpayituṁ punargrahītuñca mama śaktirāstē bhāramimaṁ svapituḥ sakāśāt prāptōham|
No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This command I have received from my Father.”
19 asmādupadēśāt punaśca yihūdīyānāṁ madhyē bhinnavākyatā jātā|
Therefore there was another division among the Jews because of these words.
20 tatō bahavō vyāharan ēṣa bhūtagrasta unmattaśca, kuta ētasya kathāṁ śr̥ṇutha?
Many of them were saying: “He has a demon and is raving mad. Why do you listen to him?”
21 kēcid avadan ētasya kathā bhūtagrastasya kathāvanna bhavanti, bhūtaḥ kim andhāya cakṣuṣī dātuṁ śaknōti?
Others were saying: “These are not the sayings of someone who is demonized. A demon cannot open blind people's eyes, can it?”
22 śītakālē yirūśālami mandirōtsargaparvvaṇyupasthitē
Now it was the Feast of Dedication in Jerusalem; and it was winter.
23 yīśuḥ sulēmānō niḥsārēṇa gamanāgamanē karōti,
And Jesus was walking about in the temple, in Solomon's porch.
24 ētasmin samayē yihūdīyāstaṁ vēṣṭayitvā vyāharan kati kālān asmākaṁ vicikitsāṁ sthāpayiṣyāmi? yadyabhiṣiktō bhavati tarhi tat spaṣṭaṁ vada|
Then the Jews surrounded Him and said to Him: “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.”
25 tadā yīśuḥ pratyavadad aham acakathaṁ kintu yūyaṁ na pratītha, nijapitu rnāmnā yāṁ yāṁ kriyāṁ karōmi sā kriyaiva mama sākṣisvarūpā|
Jesus answered them: “I did tell you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name—these testify concerning me.
26 kintvahaṁ pūrvvamakathayaṁ yūyaṁ mama mēṣā na bhavatha, kāraṇādasmān na viśvasitha|
But you do not believe because you are not among my sheep, just like I told you.
27 mama mēṣā mama śabdaṁ śr̥ṇvanti tānahaṁ jānāmi tē ca mama paścād gacchanti|
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
29 yō mama pitā tān mahyaṁ dattavān sa sarvvasmāt mahān, kōpi mama pituḥ karāt tān harttuṁ na śakṣyati|
My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch out of my Father's hand.
30 ahaṁ pitā ca dvayōrēkatvam|
I and the Father are one.”
31 tatō yihūdīyāḥ punarapi taṁ hantuṁ pāṣāṇān udatōlayan|
Therefore the Jews picked up stones again to stone Him.
32 yīśuḥ kathitavān pituḥ sakāśād bahūnyuttamakarmmāṇi yuṣmākaṁ prākāśayaṁ tēṣāṁ kasya karmmaṇaḥ kāraṇān māṁ pāṣāṇairāhantum udyatāḥ stha?
Jesus answered them: “Many good works I have shown you from my Father. For which one of them are you stoning me?”
33 yihūdīyāḥ pratyavadan praśastakarmmahētō rna kintu tvaṁ mānuṣaḥ svamīśvaram uktvēśvaraṁ nindasi kāraṇādasmāt tvāṁ pāṣāṇairhanmaḥ|
The Jews answered Him saying, “It is not for a good work that we are stoning you, but for blasphemy; precisely because you, being a man, make yourself God!”
34 tadā yīśuḥ pratyuktavān mayā kathitaṁ yūyam īśvarā ētadvacanaṁ yuṣmākaṁ śāstrē likhitaṁ nāsti kiṁ?
Jesus answered them: “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, you are gods’?
35 tasmād yēṣām uddēśē īśvarasya kathā kathitā tē yadīśvaragaṇā ucyantē dharmmagranthasyāpyanyathā bhavituṁ na śakyaṁ,
If He called them ‘gods’ to whom the Word of God came—and the Scripture cannot be broken—
36 tarhyāham īśvarasya putra iti vākyasya kathanāt yūyaṁ pitrābhiṣiktaṁ jagati prēritañca pumāṁsaṁ katham īśvaranindakaṁ vādaya?
do you say ‘You are blaspheming’ to the One the Father sanctified and sent into the world because I said, ‘I am God's Son’?
37 yadyahaṁ pituḥ karmma na karōmi tarhi māṁ na pratīta;
If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not believe me.
38 kintu yadi karōmi tarhi mayi yuṣmābhiḥ pratyayē na kr̥tē'pi kāryyē pratyayaḥ kriyatāṁ, tatō mayi pitāstīti pitaryyaham asmīti ca kṣātvā viśvasiṣyatha|
But if I am doing them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, so that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in Him.”
39 tadā tē punarapi taṁ dharttum acēṣṭanta kintu sa tēṣāṁ karēbhyō nistīryya
So they tried again to seize Him, but He escaped from their hand.
40 puna ryarddan adyāstaṭē yatra purvvaṁ yōhan amajjayat tatrāgatya nyavasat|
He went away again across the Jordan, to the place where John was baptizing at first; and He remained there.
41 tatō bahavō lōkāstatsamīpam āgatya vyāharan yōhan kimapyāścaryyaṁ karmma nākarōt kintvasmin manuṣyē yā yaḥ kathā akathayat tāḥ sarvvāḥ satyāḥ;
And many came to Him and said, “Though John did not perform any sign, everything John said about this man was true.”
42 tatra ca bahavō lōkāstasmin vyaśvasan|
And many of the people there believed into Him.
