Johani 10
1 “Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti munhu asingapindi mudanga ramakwai napamukova, asi anokwira kuti apinde naparutivi, imbavha uye igororo.
“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 Munhu anopinda napamukova ndiye mufudzi wamakwai.
But he who enters by the door is a shepherd of the sheep.
3 Murindi anomuzarurira musuo, uye makwai anonzwa inzwi rake. Anodana makwai ake nezita agoatungamirira kunze.
To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
4 Kana achinge abudisa makwai ake ose, anofamba ari mberi kwawo, uye makwai ake anomutevera nokuti anoziva inzwi rake.
And whenever he takes out his own sheep he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice.
5 Asi haatongoteveri mutorwa; asi anotomutiza nokuti haazivi inzwi romweni.”
But they will not follow a stranger; rather they will run away from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.”
6 Jesu akataura mufananidzo uyu kwavari, asi havana kunzwisisa zvaakanga achivaudza.
Jesus gave them this illustration, but they did not understand what He was telling them.
7 Naizvozvo Jesu akatizve kwavari, “Ndinokuudzai chokwadi, ndini mukova wamakwai.
Then Jesus addressed them again: “Most assuredly I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 Vose vakanditangira vaiva mbavha namakororo, asi makwai haana kuvanzwa.
All who ever came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.
9 Ndini mukova; ani naani anopinda napandiri achaponeswa. Achapinda agobuda, uye achawana mafuro.
I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.
10 Mbavha inongouya kuzoba nokuuraya nokuparadza; ini ndakauya kuti ave noupenyu, uye ave nohwakazara.
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 “Ndini mufudzi akanaka. Mufudzi akanaka anorasira makwai ake upenyu hwake.
“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life on behalf of the sheep.
12 Mushandi haasi iye mufudzi nomwene wamakwai. Saka paanoona bere richiuya, anosiya makwai obva atiza. Ipapo bere rinobata boka ramakwai uye roaparadzira.
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 Munhu uyu anotiza nokuti mushandi zvake uye haana hanya namakwai.
Now the hired man runs away because he is a hired man and it does not matter to him about the sheep.
14 “Ndini mufudzi wamakwai; ndinoziva makwai angu uye makwai angu anondiziva,
“I am the good shepherd, and I know my own sheep, and I am known by them.
15 Baba sezvavanondiziva uye neni ndichiziva Baba, uye ndinorasira makwai angu upenyu hwangu.
Just as the Father knows me, I also know the Father, and I lay down my life on behalf of the sheep.
16 Ndina mamwe makwai asati ari edanga rino. Naiwo ndinofanira kuauyisawo. Naiwowo achanzwa inzwi rangu, uye achava boka rimwe nomufudzi mumwe chete.
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 Chinoita kuti Baba vandide ndechokuti ndinorasira makwai angu upenyu hwangu, uye ndichahutorazve.
“Because of this the Father loves me, in that I lay down my life so that I may take it up again.
18 Hakuna munhu angahutora kwandiri, asi ndinohupa pachangu. Ndine simba rokuhurasa uye ndine simba rokuhutorazve. Uyu murayiro ndakaupiwa naBaba.”
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 Ipapo vaJudha vakapesanazve nokuda kwamashoko aya.
Therefore there was another division among the Jews because of these words.
20 Vazhinji vavo vakati, “Akabatwa nedhimoni uye anopenga. Seiko muchimuteerera?”
Many of them were saying: “He has a demon and is raving mad. Why do you listen to him?”
21 Asi vamwe vakati, “Aya haangavi mashoko omunhu ane dhimoni. Ko, dhimoni ringasvinudza meso ousingaoni here?”
Others were saying: “These are not the sayings of someone who is demonized. A demon cannot open blind people's eyes, can it?”
22 Ipapo Mutambo woKukumikidzwa kweTemberi paJerusarema wakasvika. Yainge iri nguva yechando,
Now it was the Feast of Dedication in Jerusalem; and it was winter.
23 uye Jesu akanga ari mutemberi achifamba mubiravira raSoromoni.
And Jesus was walking about in the temple, in Solomon's porch.
24 VaJudha vakanga vakamukomba, vakati, “Ucharamba uchitinetsa kusvikira riniko? Kana uri Kristu, tiudze pachena.”
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 Jesu akapindura akati, “Ndakakuudzai, asi hamutendi. Zvishamiso zvandinoita muzita raBaba vangu zvinondipupurira,
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 asi hamutendi nokuti hamusi makwai angu.
But you do not believe because you are not among my sheep, just like I told you.
27 Makwai angu anonzwa inzwi rangu; ini ndinoaziva, uye anonditevera.
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
29 Baba vangu, ivo vakaapa kwandiri, vakuru kuna vose; hakuna munhu angaabvuta muruoko rwaBaba vangu.
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 Ini naBaba tiri vamwe.”
I and the Father are one.”
31 VaJudha vakanongazve matombo kuti vamutake,
Therefore the Jews picked up stones again to stone Him.
32 asi Jesu akati kwavari, “Ndakakuratidzai mabasa esimba mazhinji kubva kuna Baba. Nderipiko basa ipapa ramunoda kunditakira namabwe?”
Jesus answered them: “Many good works I have shown you from my Father. For which one of them are you stoning me?”
33 Vakamupindura vachiti, “Hatisi kukutakira basa ripi zvaro ipapa, asi nokuda kwokumhura Mwari, nokuti iwe, munhuwo zvake, unozviti uri Mwari.”
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 Jesu akavapindura akati, “Ko, hazvina kunyorwa here muMurayiro wenyu, kuti ‘Ndakati muri vamwari’?
Jesus answered them: “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, you are gods’?
35 Kana akavaidza ‘vamwari,’ avo shoko raMwari rakasvika kwavari, uye Rugwaro harungaputswi,
If He called them ‘gods’ to whom the Word of God came—and the Scripture cannot be broken—
36 zvakadii kuno uyo akatsaurwa naBaba saiye wavo chaiye uye wavakatuma panyika? Seiko muchindipomera mhosva yokumhura, zvandati, ‘Ndiri Mwanakomana waMwari’?
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 Musanditenda kana ndisina kuita zvinoitwa naBaba vangu.
If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not believe me.
38 Asi kana ndichizviita, kunyange dai musinganditendi, tendai mabasa esimba, kuti mugoziva uye mugonzwisisa kuti Baba vari mandiri, uye ini ndiri muna Baba.”
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 Vakaedzazve kumubata, asi akavapunyuka.
So they tried again to seize Him, but He escaped from their hand.
40 Ipapo Jesu akayambuka Jorodhani kunzvimbo yakanga ichibhabhatidzira Johani pamazuva okutanga. Akagara ikoko
He went away again across the Jordan, to the place where John was baptizing at first; and He remained there.
41 uye vanhu vazhinji vakauya kwaari. Vakati, “Kunyange zvake Johani asina kumboita mabasa esimba, zvose zvakataurwa naJohani pamusoro pomurume uyu zvaiva zvechokwadi.”
And many came to Him and said, “Though John did not perform any sign, everything John said about this man was true.”
42 Uye panzvimbo iyo, vazhinji vakatenda kuna Jesu.
And many of the people there believed into Him.
