yōhanaḥ 10
1 ahaṁ yuṣmānatiyathārthaṁ vadāmi, yō janō dvārēṇa na praviśya kēnāpyanyēna mēṣagr̥haṁ praviśati sa ēva stēnō dasyuśca|
“Most certainly, I tell you, one who does not enter by the door into the sheep fold, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2 yō dvārēṇa praviśati sa ēva mēṣapālakaḥ|
But one who enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 dauvārikastasmai dvāraṁ mōcayati mēṣagaṇaśca tasya vākyaṁ śr̥ṇōti sa nijān mēṣān svasvanāmnāhūya bahiḥ kr̥tvā nayati|
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 tathā nijān mēṣān bahiḥ kr̥tvā svayaṁ tēṣām agrē gacchati, tatō mēṣāstasya śabdaṁ budhyantē, tasmāt tasya paścād vrajanti|
Whenever he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
5 kintu parasya śabdaṁ na budhyantē tasmāt tasya paścād vrajiṣyanti varaṁ tasya samīpāt palāyiṣyantē|
They will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him; for they don’t know the voice of strangers.”
6 yīśustēbhya imāṁ dr̥ṣṭāntakathām akathayat kintu tēna kathitakathāyāstātparyyaṁ tē nābudhyanta|
Yeshua [Salvation] spoke this parable to them, but they didn’t understand what he was telling them.
7 atō yīśuḥ punarakathayat, yuṣmānāhaṁ yathārthataraṁ vyāharāmi, mēṣagr̥hasya dvāram ahamēva|
Yeshua [Salvation] therefore said to them again, “Most certainly, I tell you, Ena Na [I AM (the Living God)] the sheep’s door.
8 mayā na praviśya ya āgacchan tē stēnā dasyavaśca kintu mēṣāstēṣāṁ kathā nāśr̥ṇvan|
All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn’t listen to them.
9 ahamēva dvārasvarūpaḥ, mayā yaḥ kaścita praviśati sa rakṣāṁ prāpsyati tathā bahirantaśca gamanāgamanē kr̥tvā caraṇasthānaṁ prāpsyati|
Ena Na [I AM (the Living God)] the door. If anyone enters in by me, he will be saved, and will go in and go out, and will find pasture.
10 yō janastēnaḥ sa kēvalaṁ stainyabadhavināśān karttumēva samāyāti kintvaham āyu rdātum arthāt bāhūlyēna tadēva dātum āgaccham|
The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.
11 ahamēva satyamēṣapālakō yastu satyō mēṣapālakaḥ sa mēṣārthaṁ prāṇatyāgaṁ karōti;
Ena Na [I AM (the Living God)] the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for 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|
He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming, leaves the sheep, and flees. The wolf snatches the sheep, and scatters them.
13 vaitanikaḥ palāyatē yataḥ sa vētanārthī mēṣārthaṁ na cintayati|
The hired hand flees because he is a hired hand, and does not care for the sheep.
14 ahamēva satyō mēṣapālakaḥ, pitā māṁ yathā jānāti, ahañca yathā pitaraṁ jānāmi,
Ena Na [I AM (the Living God)] the good shepherd. I know my own, and I’m known by my own;
15 tathā nijān mēṣānapi jānāmi, mēṣāśca māṁ jānānti, ahañca mēṣārthaṁ prāṇatyāgaṁ karōmi|
even as Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad· knows me, and I know Abba Father. I lay down my life for 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 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 prāṇānahaṁ tyaktvā punaḥ prāṇān grahīṣyāmi, tasmāt pitā mayi snēhaṁ karōti|
For this reason haAbba ·the Father· has agapao ·total devotion love· unto me, because I lay down my life so that I may take it 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 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 'Avi ·my Father·.”
19 asmādupadēśāt punaśca yihūdīyānāṁ madhyē bhinnavākyatā jātā|
Therefore a division arose again among the Jews [Praisers] because of these words.
20 tatō bahavō vyāharan ēṣa bhūtagrasta unmattaśca, kuta ētasya kathāṁ śr̥ṇutha?
Many of them said, “He has a demon, and is insane! Why do you listen to him?”
21 kēcid avadan ētasya kathā bhūtagrastasya kathāvanna bhavanti, bhūtaḥ kim andhāya cakṣuṣī dātuṁ śaknōti?
Others said, “These are not the sayings of one possessed by a demon. It is not possible for a demon to open the eyes of the blind, is it?”
22 śītakālē yirūśālami mandirōtsargaparvvaṇyupasthitē
Then came the Festival of Chanukah ·Dedication· at Jerusalem [City of peace]. (This occurs in the ninth month Kislev ·Trust security / Folly, 9· 25th day to tenth month Tevet ·Ten (in Hebrew) / Good (In Aramaic), 10· 2nd day).
23 yīśuḥ sulēmānō niḥsārēṇa gamanāgamanē karōti,
It was winter, and Yeshua [Salvation] was walking in the temple, in Solomon [Peaceable, Recompense]’s portico (where one can see the four giant menorahs).
24 ētasmin samayē yihūdīyāstaṁ vēṣṭayitvā vyāharan kati kālān asmākaṁ vicikitsāṁ sthāpayiṣyāmi? yadyabhiṣiktō bhavati tarhi tat spaṣṭaṁ vada|
The Jews [Praisers] therefore came around him and said to him, “How long will you hold us in suspense? If you are the Messiah [Anointed one], tell us plainly.”
25 tadā yīśuḥ pratyavadad aham acakathaṁ kintu yūyaṁ na pratītha, nijapitu rnāmnā yāṁ yāṁ kriyāṁ karōmi sā kriyaiva mama sākṣisvarūpā|
Yeshua [Salvation] answered them, “I told you, and you don’t trust. The works that I do in 'Avi ·my Father·’s name, these testify about me.
26 kintvahaṁ pūrvvamakathayaṁ yūyaṁ mama mēṣā na bhavatha, kāraṇādasmān na viśvasitha|
But you don’t trust, because you are not of my sheep, as 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|
'Avi [My Father], who has given them to me, is greater than all. No one is able to snatch them out of 'Avi ·my Father·’s hand.
30 ahaṁ pitā ca dvayōrēkatvam|
I and Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad· are one.”
31 tatō yihūdīyāḥ punarapi taṁ hantuṁ pāṣāṇān udatōlayan|
Therefore Jews [Praisers] took up stones again to stone him.
32 yīśuḥ kathitavān pituḥ sakāśād bahūnyuttamakarmmāṇi yuṣmākaṁ prākāśayaṁ tēṣāṁ kasya karmmaṇaḥ kāraṇān māṁ pāṣāṇairāhantum udyatāḥ stha?
Yeshua [Salvation] answered them, “I have shown you many good works from 'Avi ·my Father·. For which of those works do you stone me?”
33 yihūdīyāḥ pratyavadan praśastakarmmahētō rna kintu tvaṁ mānuṣaḥ svamīśvaram uktvēśvaraṁ nindasi kāraṇādasmāt tvāṁ pāṣāṇairhanmaḥ|
The Jews [Praisers] answered him, “We don’t stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy: because you, being a man, make yourself God.”
34 tadā yīśuḥ pratyuktavān mayā kathitaṁ yūyam īśvarā ētadvacanaṁ yuṣmākaṁ śāstrē likhitaṁ nāsti kiṁ?
Yeshua [Salvation] answered them, “Is not it written in your Torah ·Teaching·, ‘I said, you are elohim ·judges, gods·?’
35 tasmād yēṣām uddēśē īśvarasya kathā kathitā tē yadīśvaragaṇā ucyantē dharmmagranthasyāpyanyathā bhavituṁ na śakyaṁ,
If he called the people 'elohim' ·judges, gods·, to whom the word of Elohim ·God· came (and the Scripture can’t be broken),
36 tarhyāham īśvarasya putra iti vākyasya kathanāt yūyaṁ pitrābhiṣiktaṁ jagati prēritañca pumāṁsaṁ katham īśvaranindakaṁ vādaya?
do you say of him whom haAbba ·the Father· sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You blaspheme,’ because I said, ‘I am the Ben-Elohim ·Son of Elohim God·?’
37 yadyahaṁ pituḥ karmma na karōmi tarhi māṁ na pratīta;
If I don’t do the works of 'Avi ·my Father·, don’t trust 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 do them, though you don’t trust me, trust the works; that you may know and trust that haAbba ·the Father· is in me, and I in Abba Father.”
39 tadā tē punarapi taṁ dharttum acēṣṭanta kintu sa tēṣāṁ karēbhyō nistīryya
They sought again to seize him, and he went out of their hand.
40 puna ryarddan adyāstaṭē yatra purvvaṁ yōhan amajjayat tatrāgatya nyavasat|
He went away again beyond the Jordan [Descender] into the place where John [Yah is gracious] was baptizing at first, and there he stayed.
41 tatō bahavō lōkāstatsamīpam āgatya vyāharan yōhan kimapyāścaryyaṁ karmma nākarōt kintvasmin manuṣyē yā yaḥ kathā akathayat tāḥ sarvvāḥ satyāḥ;
Many came to him. They said, “John [Yah is gracious] indeed did no sign, but everything that John [Yah is gracious] said about this man is true.”
42 tatra ca bahavō lōkāstasmin vyaśvasan|
Many trusted in him there.
