Yohana 10
1 Amin, Amini nawaambieni, yule asiyeingia kwa kupitia mlango wa zizi la kondoo, lakini anapanda kwa njia nyingine, mtu huyo ni mwizi na mnyang'anyi.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2 Yeye aingiaye mlangoni ni mchungaji wa kondoo.
But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 Kwake mlinzi wa mlango humfungulia. Kondoo waisikia sauti yake na huwaita kondoo zake kwa majina yao na kuwatoa nje.
To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
4 Atakapowatoa nje hao walio wake, huwatangulia, na kondoo humfuata, kwa sababu 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 Hawatamfuata mgeni lakini badala yake watamuepuka, kwa sababu hawazijui sauti za wageni.”
And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
6 Yesu alisema mfano huu kwao, lakini hawakuyaelewa mambo haya ambayo alikuwa akisema kwao.
This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
7 Yesu akasema nao tena, “Amini, amini, nawaambia, Mimi ni mlango wa kondoo.
Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 Wote walionitangulia ni wezi na wanyang'anyi, lakini kondoo hawakuwasikiliza.
All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
9 Mimi ni mlango. Yeyote aingiaye kupitia kwangu, ataokolewa; ataingia ndani na kutoka, naye atajipatia malisho.
I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
10 Mwizi haji isipokuwa kuiba, kuua, na kuangamiza. Nimekuja ili kwamba wapate uzima na wawe nao tele.
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly.
11 Mimi ni 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 Mtumishi aliyeajiriwa, na siyo mchungaji, ambaye kondoo si mali yake, huwaona mbwa mwitu wakija na huwaacha na kuwakimbia kondoo.
But he that is an 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 Na mbwa mwitu huwakamata na kuwatawanya. Hukimbia kwa sababu ni mtumishi wa kuajiriwa na hawajali kondoo.
The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
14 Mimi ni mchungaji mwema, na ninawajua walio wangu, nao walio wangu wananijua mimi.
I am the good shepherd, and know my [sheep], and am known of mine.
15 Baba ananijua, nami namjua Baba, nami nautoa uhai wangu kwa ajili ya kondoo.
As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 Ninao kondoo wengine ambao si wa zizi hili. Hao pia, yanipasa kuwaleta, nao wataisikia sauti yangu ili kwamba pawepo 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 Hii ndiyo sababu Baba ananipenda: Niutoe uhai wangu halafu niutwae tena.
Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
18 Hakuna auchukuaye kutoka kwangu, lakini mimi nautoa mwenyewe. Ninayo mamlaka ya kuutoa, na ninayo mamlaka ya kuutwaa pia. Nimelipokea agizo hili kutoka kwa Baba.”
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 of my Father.
19 Mgawanyiko tena ukatokea kati ya wayahudi kwa sababu ya maneno haya.
There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.
20 Wengi wao wakasema, “Ana pepo na ni kichaa. Kwa nini mnamsikiliza?”
And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?
21 Wengine wakasema, “Haya siyo maneno ya mtu aliyepagawa na mapepo. Pepo linaweza kufungua macho ya kipofu?”
Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
22 Ndipo ikaja Sikukuu ya Kuwekwa Wakfu Yerusalemu.
And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.
23 Ulikuwa wakati wa baridi, na Yesu alikuwa akitembea hekaluni katika ukumbi wa Selemani.
And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch.
24 Ndipo Wayahudi walipomzunguka na kumwambia, “Mpaka lini utatuweka katika mashaka? kama wewe ni Kristo, tuambie wazi.
Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
25 Yesu akawajibu, “Nimekwisha waambia lakini hamuamini. Kazi nizifanyazo kwa jina la Baba yangu, hizo zinashuhudia juu yangu.
Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me.
26 Hata hivyo hamuamini kwa sababu ninyi si kondoo wangu.
But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
27 Kondoo wangu waisikia sauti yangu; Nawajua, nao wanifuata mimi.
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
29 Baba yangu, aliyenipa hao, ni mkuu kuliko wengine wote, na hakuna hata mmoja aliye na uwezo wa kuwanyakua kutoka mkononi mwa Baba.
My Father, which gave [them] me, is greater than all; and no [man] is able to pluck [them] out of my Father’s hand.
30 Mimi na Baba tu mmoja.”
I and [my] Father are one.
31 Wakabeba mawe ili wamponde tena.
Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
32 Yesu akawajibu, “Nimeshawaonesha kazi nyingi nzuri kutoka kwa Baba. Kwa kazi zipi kati ya hizo mnataka kuniponda mawe?”
Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
33 Wayahudi wakamjibu, “Hatukupondi mawe kwa kazi yoyote iliyo nzuri, lakini kwa kukufuru, kwa sababu wewe, uliye mtu, 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, “Haikuandikwa katika sheria yenu, 'Nilisema, “Ninyi ni miungu”'?”
Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
35 Ikiwa aliwaita miungu, kwa wale ambao Neno la Mungu liliwajilia (na Maandiko hayawezi kuvunjwa),
If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
36 mnasema juu ya yule ambaye Baba alimtoa na kumtuma katika ulimwengu, 'Unakufuru,' 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, msiniamini.
If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
38 Hata hivyo, ikiwa ninazifanya, hata kama hamniamini, ziaminini kazi ili kwamba muweze kujua na kufahamu kwamba Baba yuko ndani yangu na mimi niko ndani ya Baba.”
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 Wakajaribu tena kumkamata Yesu, lakini alienda zake kutoka mikononi mwao.
Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand,
40 Yesu akaenda zake tena ng'ambo ya Yordani sehemu ambayo Yohana alikuwa akibatiza kwanza, na akakaa huko.
And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode.
41 Watu wengi wakaja kwa Yesu. Waliendelea kusema, “Yohana kweli hakufanya ishara yoyote, lakini mambo yote aliyoyasema Yohana juu ya huyu mtu ni ya kweli.”
And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true.
42 Watu wengi wakamwamini Yesu hapo.
And many believed on him there.
