Johani 10
1 “Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti munhu asingapindi mudanga ramakwai napamukova, asi anokwira kuti apinde naparutivi, imbavha uye igororo.
“Truly, truly, 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 Munhu anopinda napamukova ndiye mufudzi wamakwai.
and he who is entering through the door is shepherd of the sheep;
3 Murindi anomuzarurira musuo, uye makwai anonzwa inzwi rake. Anodana makwai ake nezita agoatungamirira kunze.
the doorkeeper opens to this one, and the sheep hear his voice, and his own sheep he calls by name, and leads them forth;
4 Kana achinge abudisa makwai ake ose, anofamba ari mberi kwawo, uye makwai ake anomutevera nokuti anoziva inzwi rake.
and when he may put forth his own sheep, he goes on before them, and the sheep follow him, because they have known his voice;
5 Asi haatongoteveri mutorwa; asi anotomutiza nokuti haazivi inzwi romweni.”
and they will not follow a stranger, but will flee from him, because they have not known the voice of strangers.”
6 Jesu akataura mufananidzo uyu kwavari, asi havana kunzwisisa zvaakanga achivaudza.
Jesus spoke this allegory to them, and they did not know what the things were that He was speaking to them;
7 Naizvozvo Jesu akatizve kwavari, “Ndinokuudzai chokwadi, ndini mukova wamakwai.
Jesus therefore said again to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I AM the door of the sheep;
8 Vose vakanditangira vaiva mbavha namakororo, asi makwai haana kuvanzwa.
all, as many as came before Me, are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them;
9 Ndini mukova; ani naani anopinda napandiri achaponeswa. Achapinda agobuda, uye achawana mafuro.
I AM the door, if anyone may come in through Me, he will be saved, and he will come in, and go out, and find pasture.
10 Mbavha inongouya kuzoba nokuuraya nokuparadza; ini ndakauya kuti ave noupenyu, uye ave nohwakazara.
The thief does not come, except that he may steal, and kill, and destroy; I came that they may have life, and may have [it] abundantly.
11 “Ndini mufudzi akanaka. Mufudzi akanaka anorasira makwai ake upenyu hwake.
I AM the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays His life down for the sheep;
12 Mushandi haasi iye mufudzi nomwene wamakwai. Saka paanoona bere richiuya, anosiya makwai obva atiza. Ipapo bere rinobata boka ramakwai uye roaparadzira.
and the hired worker, and not being a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, beholds the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and flees; and the wolf snatches them, and scatters the sheep;
13 Munhu uyu anotiza nokuti mushandi zvake uye haana hanya namakwai.
and the hired worker flees because he is a hired worker, and is not caring for the sheep.
14 “Ndini mufudzi wamakwai; ndinoziva makwai angu uye makwai angu anondiziva,
I AM the good shepherd, and I know My [sheep], and am known by Mine,
15 Baba sezvavanondiziva uye neni ndichiziva Baba, uye ndinorasira makwai angu upenyu hwangu.
according as the Father knows Me, and I know the Father, and My life I lay down for the sheep,
16 Ndina mamwe makwai asati ari edanga rino. Naiwo ndinofanira kuauyisawo. Naiwowo achanzwa inzwi rangu, uye achava boka rimwe nomufudzi mumwe chete.
and other sheep I have that are not of this fold, these also it is necessary for Me to bring, and My voice they will hear, and there will become one flock—one shepherd.
17 Chinoita kuti Baba vandide ndechokuti ndinorasira makwai angu upenyu hwangu, uye ndichahutorazve.
Because of this the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life, that again I may take it;
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; authority I have to lay it down, and authority I have again to take it; this command I received from My Father.”
19 Ipapo vaJudha vakapesanazve nokuda kwamashoko aya.
Therefore, again, there came a division among the Jews, because of these words,
20 Vazhinji vavo vakati, “Akabatwa nedhimoni uye anopenga. Seiko muchimuteerera?”
and many of them said, “He has a demon, and is mad, why do you hear Him?”
21 Asi vamwe vakati, “Aya haangavi mashoko omunhu ane dhimoni. Ko, dhimoni ringasvinudza meso ousingaoni here?”
Others said, “These sayings are not those of a demoniac; is a demon able to open blind men’s eyes?”
22 Ipapo Mutambo woKukumikidzwa kweTemberi paJerusarema wakasvika. Yainge iri nguva yechando,
And the Dedication in Jerusalem came, and it was winter,
23 uye Jesu akanga ari mutemberi achifamba mubiravira raSoromoni.
and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the porch of Solomon,
24 VaJudha vakanga vakamukomba, vakati, “Ucharamba uchitinetsa kusvikira riniko? Kana uri Kristu, tiudze pachena.”
the Jews, therefore, came around Him and said to Him, “Until when do You hold our soul in suspense? If You are the Christ, tell us freely.”
25 Jesu akapindura akati, “Ndakakuudzai, asi hamutendi. Zvishamiso zvandinoita muzita raBaba vangu zvinondipupurira,
Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe; the works that I do in the Name of My Father, these testify concerning Me;
26 asi hamutendi nokuti hamusi makwai angu.
but you do not believe, for you are not of My sheep,
27 Makwai angu anonzwa inzwi rangu; ini ndinoaziva, uye anonditevera.
according as I said to you: 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 to Me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch out of the hand of My Father;
30 Ini naBaba tiri vamwe.”
I and the Father are one.”
31 VaJudha vakanongazve matombo kuti vamutake,
Therefore, again, the Jews took up stones that they may stone Him;
32 asi Jesu akati kwavari, “Ndakakuratidzai mabasa esimba mazhinji kubva kuna Baba. Nderipiko basa ipapa ramunoda kunditakira namabwe?”
Jesus answered them, “I showed you many good works from My Father; because of which work of them do you stone 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, “We do not stone You for a good work, but for slander, and 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 having been 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 Writing is not able to be broken),
36 zvakadii kuno uyo akatsaurwa naBaba saiye wavo chaiye uye wavakatuma panyika? Seiko muchindipomera mhosva yokumhura, zvandati, ‘Ndiri Mwanakomana waMwari’?
of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, do you say—You slander, because I said, I am [the] Son of God?
37 Musanditenda kana ndisina kuita zvinoitwa naBaba vangu.
If I do not do 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.”
and if I do, even if you may not believe Me, believe the works, that you may know and may believe that the Father [is] in Me, and I in Him.”
39 Vakaedzazve kumubata, asi akavapunyuka.
Therefore they were seeking again to seize Him, and He went forth out of their hand,
40 Ipapo Jesu akayambuka Jorodhani kunzvimbo yakanga ichibhabhatidzira Johani pamazuva okutanga. Akagara ikoko
and went away again to the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John was at first immersing, and 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, “John, indeed, did no sign, and all things, as many as John said about this One were true”;
42 Uye panzvimbo iyo, vazhinji vakatenda kuna Jesu.
and many believed in Him there.
