Johani 10
1 Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri: Asingapindi napamukova mudanga remakwai, asi anokwira nekumwe, ndiye mbavha negororo.
Verely verely I saye vnto you: he that entreth not in by ye dore into the shepefolde but clymeth vp some other waye: the same is a thefe and a robber.
2 Zvino anopinda nepamukova mufudzi wemakwai.
He that goeth in by ye dore is the shepeherde of ye shepe:
3 Murindi wemukova anomuzarurira, nemakwai anonzwa inzwi rake, uye anodana makwai ake nezita, nekuatungamirira kunze.
to him the porter openeth and the shepe heare his voyce and he calleth his awne shepe by name and leadeth them out.
4 Uye kana abudisa makwai ake, anoatungamirira; nemakwai anomutevera, nokuti anoziva inzwi rake.
And when he hath sent forthe his awne shepe he goeth before them and the shepe folowe him: for they knowe his voyce.
5 Asi mweni haangatongomuteveri, asi anomutiza; nokuti haazivi inzwi revaeni.
A straunger they will not folowe but will flye from him: for they knowe not the voyce of straungers.
6 Jesu wakareva dimikira iri kwavari; asi ivo havana kunzwisisa, kuti zvinhui zvaakataura kwavari.
This similitude spake Iesus vnto them. But they vnderstode not what thinges they were which he spake vnto them.
7 Zvino Jesu akati kwavarizve: Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri: Ini ndiri mukova wemakwai;
Then sayde Iesus vnto them agayne. Verely verely I saye vnto you: I am the dore of the shepe.
8 vese vakanditangira kuuya imbavha nemakororo, asi makwai haana kuvanzwa.
All even as many as came before me are theves and robbers: but the shepe dyd not heare them.
9 Ini ndiri mukova; kana munhu achipinda neni, achaponeswa, achapinda nekubuda, nekuwana mafuro.
I am the dore: by me yf eny man enter in he shalbe safe and shall goo in and out and fynde pasture.
10 Mbavha haiui asi kungozoba nekuuraya nekuparadza; ini ndakauya, kuti vave neupenyu, uye vave nehunopfachukira.
The thefe cometh not but forto steale kyll and destroye. I am come that they myght have lyfe and have it more aboundantly.
11 Ini ndiri mufudzi wakanaka. Mufudzi wakanaka anoradzikira pasi makwai upenyu hwake.
I am ye good shepeheerd. The good shepeheerd geveth his lyfe for ye shepe.
12 Asi muricho, asati ari mufudzi, makwai asati ari ake pachake, anoona bumhi richiuya, akasiya makwai, ndokutiza; bumhi rinoabata, nekuparadzira makwai.
An heyred servaut which is not ye shepeherd nether ye shepe are his awne seith the wolfe comynge and leveth the shepe and flyeth and the wolfe catcheth them and scattereth ye shepe.
13 Muricho anotiza nokuti muricho, uye haana hanya nemakwai.
The heyred servaut flyeth because he is an heyred servaunt and careth not for the shepe.
14 Ini ndiri mufudzi wakanaka, uye ndinoziva angu, ndinozikanwa neangu.
I am that good shepeheerd and knowe myne and am knowe of myne.
15 Baba sezvavanondiziva, neni ndinoziva Baba; zvino ndinoradzikira pasi makwai upenyu hwangu.
As my father knoweth me: even so knowe I my father. And I geve my lyfe for the shepe:
16 Nemamwe makwai ndinawo, asati ari edanga rino. Naiwo ndinofanira kuuya nawo, achanzwa inzwi rangu; uye rive boka rimwe mufudzi umwe.
and other shepe I have which are not of this folde. Them also must I bringe that they maye heare my voyce and that ther maye be one flocke and one shepeherde.
17 Nekuda kwaizvozvo Baba vanondida, nokuti ini ndinoradzika upenyu hwangu pasi, kuti ndihutorezve.
Therfore doth my father love me because I put my lyfe from me that I myght take it agayne.
18 Hakuna angahutora kubva kwandiri, asi ini ndinohuradzika pasi pachangu. Simba ndinaro rekuhuradzika pasi, uye simba ndinaro rekuhutorazve. Uyu murairo ndakaugamuchira kuna Baba vangu.
No man taketh it from me: but I put it awaye of my selfe. I have power to put it from me and have power to take it agayne: This comaundment have I receaved of my father.
19 Naizvozvo kukavapozve kupesana pakati peVaJudha nekuda kwemashoko awa.
And ther was a dissencion agayne amoge the Iewes for these sayinges
20 Vazhinji vavo vakati: Ane dhimoni uye anopenga; munomuteererei?
and many of them sayd. He hath the devyll and is mad: why heare ye him?
21 Vamwe vakati: Mashoko awa haasi eane dhimoni; ko dhimoni ringagona kusvinudza meso emapofu here?
Other sayde these are not the wordes of him that hath the devyll. Can the devyll open the eyes of the blynde?
22 Zvino paiva nemutambo wekuvandudza paJerusarema, chaiva chando;
And it was at Ierusalem ye feaste of the dedicacion and it was wynter:
23 Jesu ndokufamba-famba mutembere muberere raSoromoni.
and Iesus walked in Salomons porche.
24 Zvino VaJudha vakamukomba, vakati kwaari: Kusvikira rinhi uchigara wakaremberedza mweya wedu? Kana uri Kristu iwe, tiudze pachena.
Then came the Iewes rounde aboute him and sayde vnto him: How longe dost thou make vs doute? Yf thou be Christ tell vs playnly.
25 Jesu akavapindura akati: Ndakakuudzai, asi hamuna kutenda; mabasa andinoita ini muzita raBaba vangu ndiwo anopupura nezvangu;
Iesus answered them: I tolde you and ye beleve not. The workes yt I do in my fathers name they beare witnes of me.
26 asi imwi hamutendi; nokuti hamusi vemakwai angu, sezvandakareva kwamuri.
But ye beleve not because ye are not of my shepe. As I sayde vnto you:
27 Makwai angu anonzwa inzwi rangu, neni ndinoaziva, uye anonditevera;
my shepe heare my voyce and I knowe them and they folowe me
29 Baba vangu vakandipa iwo vakuru kune vese; uye hakuna anogona kuabvuta muruoko rwaBaba vangu.
My father which gave the me is greatter then all and no man is able to take them out of my fathers honde.
30 Ini naBaba tiri umwe.
And I and my father are one.
31 Naizvozvo VaJudha vakanongazve mabwe, kuti vamutake.
Then the Iewes agayne toke up stones to stone him with all.
32 Jesu akavapindura akati: Ndakakuratidzai mabasa mazhinji akanaka kubva kuna Baba vangu; nderipi remabasa awa ramunonditakira?
Iesus answered them: many good workes have I shewed you from my father: for which of them will ye stone me?
33 VaJudha vakamupindura vachiti: Hatikutakiri basa rakanaka, asi kunyomba; uye nokuti iwe uri munhu unozviita Mwari.
The Iewes answered him sayinge. For thy good workes sake we stone ye not: but for thy blasphemy and because that thou beinge a man makest thy selfe God.
34 Jesu akavapindura akati: Hazvina kunyorwa here mumurairo wenyu, zvichinzi: Ini ndakati: Muri vamwari?
Iesus answered them: Is it not written in youre lawe: I saye ye are goddes?
35 Kana akavaidza vamwari, ivo shoko raMwari rakasvika kwavari, uye rugwaro harwugoni kuputswa;
If he called the goddes vnto whom the worde of God was spoken (and the scripture can not be broken)
36 imwi munoti kune uyo Baba vakamuita mutsvene vakamutuma panyika: Unonyomba, nokuti ndati: Ndiri Mwanakomana waMwari?
saye ye then to him whom the father hath sainctified and sent into the worlde thou blasphemest because I sayd I am the sonne of God?
37 Kana ndisingaiti mabasa aBaba vangu, musanditenda.
If I do not the workes of my father beleve me not.
38 Asi kana ndichiaita, kunyange musingatendi ini, tendai mabasa; kuti muzive nekutenda kuti Baba vari mandiri, neni mavari.
But if I do though ye beleve not me yet beleve the workes that ye maye knowe and beleve that the father is in me and I in him.
39 Zvino vakatsvakazve kumubata; asi wakabuda paruoko rwavo.
Agayne they went aboute to take him: but he escaped out of their hondes
40 Zvino akaendazve mhiri kwaJoridhani kunzvimbo Johwani kwaaibhabhatidza pakutanga; ndokugarapo.
and went awaye agayne beyonde Iordan into the place where Iohn before had baptised and there aboode.
41 Zvino vazhinji vakauya kwaari vakati: Johwani haana kuita chiratidzo, asi chese Johwani chaakareva pamusoro peuyu chaiva chokwadi.
And many resorted vnto him and sayd. Iohn dyd no miracle: but all thinges that Iohn spake of this man are true.
42 Vazhinji ndokutenda kwaari ipapo.
And many beleved on him theare.
