yōhanaḥ 10
1 ahaṁ yuṣmānatiyathārthaṁ vadāmi, yō janō dvārēṇa na praviśya kēnāpyanyēna mēṣagr̥haṁ praviśati sa ēva stēnō dasyuśca|
“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the gate but climbs in by another way is a thief and a robber.
2 yō dvārēṇa praviśati sa ēva mēṣapālakaḥ|
But he who enters by the gate 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 hear 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|
When he has brought out his own sheep, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they recognize his voice.
5 kintu parasya śabdaṁ na budhyantē tasmāt tasya paścād vrajiṣyanti varaṁ tasya samīpāt palāyiṣyantē|
They will certainly not follow a stranger, but will flee from him because they do not recognize the voice of strangers.”
6 yīśustēbhya imāṁ dr̥ṣṭāntakathām akathayat kintu tēna kathitakathāyāstātparyyaṁ tē nābudhyanta|
Jesus spoke to them with this figure of speech, but they did not understand what he was saying to them.
7 atō yīśuḥ punarakathayat, yuṣmānāhaṁ yathārthataraṁ vyāharāmi, mēṣagr̥hasya dvāram ahamēva|
So Jesus said to them again, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the gate for the sheep.
8 mayā na praviśya ya āgacchan tē stēnā dasyavaśca kintu mēṣāstēṣāṁ kathā nāśr̥ṇvan|
All who came before 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 gate; if anyone enters through me, he will be saved and will come in and go out and find pasture.
10 yō janastēnaḥ sa kēvalaṁ stainyabadhavināśān karttumēva samāyāti kintvaham āyu rdātum arthāt bāhūlyēna tadēva dātum āgaccham|
The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy. I have come 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 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|
But the hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches the sheep and scatters them.
13 vaitanikaḥ palāyatē yataḥ sa vētanārthī mēṣārthaṁ na cintayati|
The hired hand flees, for he is a hired hand and does not care about the sheep.
14 ahamēva satyō mēṣapālakaḥ, pitā māṁ yathā jānāti, ahañca yathā pitaraṁ jānāmi,
I am the good shepherd. I know my sheep and my sheep know me,
15 tathā nijān mēṣānapi jānāmi, mēṣāśca māṁ jānānti, ahañca mēṣārthaṁ prāṇatyāgaṁ karōmi|
even as the Father knows me and I know the 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 that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will hear my voice. And there will be one flock, one shepherd.
17 prāṇānahaṁ tyaktvā punaḥ prāṇān grahīṣyāmi, tasmāt pitā mayi snēhaṁ karōti|
This is why the Father loves me, because 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 my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. I received this commandment from my Father.”
19 asmādupadēśāt punaśca yihūdīyānāṁ madhyē bhinnavākyatā jātā|
At these words there was again a division among the Jews.
20 tatō bahavō vyāharan ēṣa bhūtagrasta unmattaśca, kuta ētasya kathāṁ śr̥ṇutha?
Many of them were saying, “He has a demon and is out of his mind; 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 words of a man possessed by a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”
22 śītakālē yirūśālami mandirōtsargaparvvaṇyupasthitē
Now it was the Feast of the Dedication in Jerusalem. It was winter,
23 yīśuḥ sulēmānō niḥsārēṇa gamanāgamanē karōti,
and Jesus was walking in the temple courts, in Solomon's Portico.
24 ētasmin samayē yihūdīyāstaṁ vēṣṭayitvā vyāharan kati kālān asmākaṁ vicikitsāṁ sthāpayiṣyāmi? yadyabhiṣiktō bhavati tarhi tat spaṣṭaṁ vada|
So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, “How long are yoʋ going to keep us in suspense? If yoʋ 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, but you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name testify about 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 as I told you.
27 mama mēṣā mama śabdaṁ śr̥ṇvanti tānahaṁ jānāmi tē ca mama paścād gacchanti|
My sheep hear my voice; 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 them 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|
Then 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?
In response Jesus said to them, “I have shown you many good works from my Father; for which of these works are you going to stone me?”
33 yihūdīyāḥ pratyavadan praśastakarmmahētō rna kintu tvaṁ mānuṣaḥ svamīśvaram uktvēśvaraṁ nindasi kāraṇādasmāt tvāṁ pāṣāṇairhanmaḥ|
The Jews answered him, “We are not going to stone yoʋ for a good work, but for blasphemy, and because yoʋ, being a man, make yoʋrself out to be 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 of him whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, ‘Yoʋ are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?
37 yadyahaṁ pituḥ karmma na karōmi tarhi māṁ na pratīta;
If I do not do 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 do them, even if 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
Again they sought to arrest him, but he eluded their grasp.
40 puna ryarddan adyāstaṭē yatra purvvaṁ yōhan amajjayat tatrāgatya nyavasat|
Then Jesus went away again to the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John had been baptizing at first, and he stayed there.
41 tatō bahavō lōkāstatsamīpam āgatya vyāharan yōhan kimapyāścaryyaṁ karmma nākarōt kintvasmin manuṣyē yā yaḥ kathā akathayat tāḥ sarvvāḥ satyāḥ;
Many came to him and were saying, “John did no sign, but everything that John said about this man was true.”
42 tatra ca bahavō lōkāstasmin vyaśvasan|
And many of the people there believed in him.
