Yohana 10
1 “Amin, amin nawaambia, yeye asiyeingia katika zizi la kondoo kwa kupitia kwenye lango, lakini akwea kuingia ndani kwa njia nyingine, ni mwizi na mnyangʼanyi.
Verily, verily, I say to you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheep-fold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2 Yeye anayeingia kwa kupitia kwenye lango ndiye mchungaji wa kondoo.
But he that entereth by the door, is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 Mlinzi humfungulia lango na kondoo huisikia sauti yake. Huwaita kondoo wake kwa majina yao na kuwatoa nje ya zizi.
To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
4 Akiisha kuwatoa wote nje, hutangulia mbele yao na kondoo humfuata kwa kuwa wanaijua sauti yake.
And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
5 Lakini kondoo hawatamfuata mgeni bali watamkimbia, kwa sababu hawaijui sauti ya mgeni.”
And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
6 Yesu alitumia mfano huu, lakini wao hawakuelewa hayo aliyokuwa akiwaambia.
This parable spoke Jesus to them: but they understood not what things they were which he spoke to them.
7 Kwa hiyo Yesu akasema nao tena akawaambia, “Amin, amin nawaambia, mimi ndimi lango la kondoo.
Then said Jesus to them again, Verily, verily, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 Wote walionitangulia ni wevi na wanyangʼanyi, lakini kondoo hawakuwasikia.
All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
9 Mimi ndimi lango, yeyote anayeingia zizini kwa kupitia kwangu ataokoka, ataingia na kutoka, naye atapata malisho.
I am the door: by me if any man shall enter he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
10 Mwizi huja ili aibe, kuua na kuangamiza. Mimi nimekuja ili wapate uzima kisha wawe nao tele.
The thief cometh not, but to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they may have life, and that they may have [it] more abundantly.
11 “Mimi ndimi mchungaji mwema. Mchungaji mwema huutoa uhai wake kwa ajili ya kondoo.
I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
12 Mtu wa kuajiriwa sio mchungaji mwenye kondoo. Amwonapo mbwa mwitu akija, yeye hukimbia na kuwaacha kondoo. Naye mbwa mwitu hulishambulia kundi na kulitawanya.
But he that is a hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth, and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
13 Yeye hukimbia kwa sababu ameajiriwa wala hawajali kondoo.
The hireling fleeth, because he is a hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
14 “Mimi ndimi mchungaji mwema. Ninawajua kondoo wangu nao kondoo wangu wananijua.
I am the good shepherd, and know my [sheep], and am known by mine.
15 Kama vile Baba anavyonijua mimi, nami ninavyomjua Baba, nami nautoa uhai wangu kwa ajili ya kondoo.
As the Father knoweth me, even so I know the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 Ninao kondoo wengine ambao si wa zizi hili, inanipasa kuwaleta, nao wataisikia sauti yangu, hivyo patakuwa na kundi moja na mchungaji mmoja.
And other sheep I have which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, [and] one shepherd.
17 Baba yangu ananipenda kwa kuwa ninautoa uhai wangu ili niupate tena.
Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
18 Hakuna mtu aniondoleaye uhai wangu, bali ninautoa kwa hiari yangu mwenyewe. Ninao uwezo wa kuutoa uhai wangu na pia ninao uwezo wa kuutwaa tena. Amri hii nimepewa na Baba yangu.”
No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received from my Father.
19 Kwa maneno haya Wayahudi waligawanyika.
There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.
20 Wengi wao wakasema, “Huyu amepagawa na pepo mchafu, naye amechanganyikiwa.”
And many of them said, He hath a demon, and is insane; why hear ye him?
21 Wengine wakasema, “Haya si maneno ya mtu aliyepagawa na pepo mchafu. Je, pepo mchafu aweza kufungua macho ya kipofu?”
Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?
22 Wakati huo ilikuwa Sikukuu ya Kuwekwa wakfu kwa Hekalu huko Yerusalemu, nao ulikuwa wakati wa majira ya baridi.
And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.
23 Naye Yesu alikuwa akitembea ndani ya Hekalu katika ukumbi wa Solomoni.
And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.
24 Wayahudi wakamkusanyikia wakamuuliza, “Utatuweka katika hali ya mashaka mpaka lini? Kama wewe ndiye Kristo tuambie waziwazi.”
Then came the Jews around him, and said to him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou art the Christ, tell us plainly.
25 Yesu akawajibu, “Nimewaambia, lakini hamwamini. Mambo ninayoyatenda kwa jina la Baba yangu yananishuhudia.
Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I did in my Father's name, they testify concerning me.
26 Lakini hamwamini, kwa sababu ninyi si wa kundi la kondoo wangu.
But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said to you.
27 Kondoo wangu huisikia sauti yangu nami nawajua, nao hunifuata,
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
29 Baba yangu aliyenipa hawa ni mkuu kuliko wote na hakuna awezaye kuwapokonya kutoka mikononi mwake.
My Father, who gave [them to] me, is greater than all; and none is able to pluck [them] out of my Father's hand.
30 Mimi na Baba yangu tu umoja.”
I and [my] Father are one.
31 Kwa mara nyingine Wayahudi wakainua mawe ili wampige nayo,
Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
32 lakini Yesu akawaambia, “Nimewaonyesha miujiza mingi mikubwa kutoka kwa Baba yangu. Ni ipi katika hiyo mnataka kunipiga mawe?”
Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shown you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
33 Wayahudi wakamjibu, “Hatukupigi mawe kwa sababu ya mambo mema uliyotenda, bali ni kwa kuwa umekufuru. Wewe ingawa ni mwanadamu unajifanya kuwa Mungu.”
The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy, and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
34 Yesu akawajibu, “Je, haikuandikwa katika Sheria ya kwamba, ‘Nimesema kuwa, ninyi ni miungu?’
Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
35 Kama aliwaita ‘miungu,’ wale ambao neno la Mungu liliwafikia, nayo Maandiko hayawezi kutanguka,
If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
36 je, mwawezaje kusema kwamba yule ambaye Baba amemweka wakfu na kumtuma ulimwenguni anakufuru, kwa sababu nilisema, ‘Mimi ni Mwana wa Mungu?’
Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
37 Ikiwa sifanyi kazi za Baba yangu, basi msiniamini,
If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
38 lakini ikiwa nazifanya kazi za Mungu, hata kama hamniamini mimi ziaminini hizo kazi, ili mpate kujua na kuelewa kwamba Baba yu ndani yangu, nami ndani yake.”
But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know and believe that the Father [is] in me, and I in him.
39 Ndipo wakajaribu kumkamata kwa mara nyingine, lakini akaponyoka kutoka mikononi mwao.
Therefore they sought again to take him; but he escaped from their hand,
40 Akaenda tena ngʼambo ya Mto Yordani mpaka mahali pale ambapo Yohana alikuwa akibatiza hapo awali, naye akakaa huko.
And went again beyond Jordan, into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode.
41 Watu wengi wakamjia, nao wakawa wakisema, “Yohana hakufanya muujiza wowote, lakini kila jambo alilosema kumhusu huyu mtu ni kweli.”
And many resorted to him, and said, John performed no miracle; but all things that John spoke of this man were true.
42 Nao wengi wakamwamini Yesu huko.
And many believed on him there.
