Jon 10
1 Jisu minto, “Ngo nonua jvjv nga minjidunv: Yvvnyi ngv svlarnaam lo agi lokv aamadunv, vbvritola kvvbi lamtv lokv gvkarnv hv dvchonv okv dvritnaaritnv.
“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter through the gate into the sheep pen, but climbs up some other way, that man is a thief and a robber.
2 Yvvnyi ngv agi lokv aadunv hv svlar vdwa kaayanvngv.
He who enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 Agi kaayanvngv agi a ninyigv lvgabv mvkok jire; svlar vdwv ninyigv vlv nga tvvpare hv ninyigv svlar a amina minla gokrikunyi, okv hv bunua agumbv linggv reku.
The gatekeeper opens for him. The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
4 Vdwlo hv bunua agum lo linggv rilo, hv bunua vngchola vnggvdu, okv svlar vdwv ninyia vngming gvdu, ogulvgavbolo bunu ninyigv vlv nga tvvchin do.
When he has brought out all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
5 Bunu kvvbia vngming gvmare; vmabvya bunu kiyu yare vkvnv nyi nga ogulvgavbolo bunu ninyigv vlv nga tvvchinma.”
They will not follow a stranger but instead they will avoid him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.”
6 Jisu bunua so minchisinam sum minjito, vbvritola bunuv ogugonyi mindunvdw um tvchin mato.
Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they did not understand what these things were that he was saying to them.
7 Vkvlvgabv Jisu lvkodv mindvto, “Ngo jvjv nga nonua minji dunvla: Ngo svlar gv agi ngv.
Then Jesus said to them again, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the gate of the sheep.
8 Kvvbi mvnwngngv yvvdw ngam aachoyadunv hv dvchonv okv dvritnaaritnv, vbvritola svlar hv bunua tvvma duku.
Everyone who came before me is a thief and a robber, but the sheep did not listen to them.
9 Ngo agi v yvvdw ngo gvlokv arwng aadunv hv ringnam ha paare; hv arwnglo aare okv agumbv vngre okv nvmwng mapareku.
I am the gate. If anyone enters in through me, he will be saved; he will go in and out and will find pasture.
10 Dvchonv arwng aadu ogulvgavbolo dvcho dubv, mvkidubv, okv mvyakmvchak dubv. Ngo aapvnv nonua svngsu alvbv singmu rimu dubv.
The thief does not come if he would not steal and kill and destroy. I have come so that they will have life and have it abundantly.
11 “Ngo alvnv svlar kaayanv, yvvdw svlar lvgabv sidubv mvngnv ngv,
I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
12 Svlar sokw manv okv kaaya riakw manv jonam nyi ngv vdwlo svcha nga aadu bv kaaparinyi, hv svlar a kayupila okv kiudunv; vkvlvgabv svcha ngv gamdu okv bunua charjung charngola charra dukunv.
The hired servant is not a shepherd and does not own the sheep. He sees the wolf coming and abandons the sheep and escapes, and the wolf carries them off and scatters them.
13 Jonam nyi ngv kiudunv ogulvgavbolo hv jonam nyi vmwng okv svlar a alvbv kaaria madunv.
He runs away because he is a hired servant and does not care for the sheep.
14 Ngo alvnv svlar kaayanv. Abu ngam chindu okv ngo Abunyi chindu, vkv aingbv ngo ngoogv svlar ha chindu okv bunu ngam chindu. Okv ngo bunugv lvgabv sidubv mvngdunv.
I am the good shepherd, and I know my own, and my own know me.
The Father knows me, and I know the Father, and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 Ngoogv svlar kvgonv so svlarnaam soka doomanv vka doodunv. Ngo bunuaka so naalwk rungre, bunu ngoogv vlv nga tvvre, okv bunu svlar vdwa akin gubvrila kaayanv akingv kaanam gubv rireku.”
I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also, and they will hear my voice so that there will be one flock and one shepherd.
17 “Abu ngam pakdunv ogulvgavbolo ngo ngoogv singnam a mvngnga sidubv mvngdunv, vkvlvga um ngo paakor nyula dukubv vla.
This is why the Father loves me: I lay down my life so that I may take it again.
18 Yvvka ngoogv singnam ha ngoogv lokv dvrit mare. Ngo um ngo atubongv anyubv mvngnga supvnv, ngo um jilaka nyure okv ngo um naakurka nyula reku. So sumnv ngoogv Abu nga ritokv vla gamki la minam v.”
No one takes it away 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. I have received this command from my Father.”
19 Lvkodv nyi vdwv apumlo so gaam vdw so gv lvgabv asak sutoku.
A division again occurred among the Jews because of these words.
20 Bunugv lokv nyi achialvgo minyato, “Hv uyuvram gvdu! Hv surupv! nonu ninyia ogulvgabv tvvya dunv?”
Many of them said, “He has a demon and is insane. Why do you listen to him?”
21 Vbvritola kvvbi vdwv minyato, “Nyi uyuvram gvnv ngv svbv minyu madunv! oguaingbv uyuvram v nyikchingnv nyi vdwa nyiktarla kaapa dukubv mvla nyudubv?”
Others said, “These are not the words of a demon-possessed man. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”
22 So si svkar poolu bv ritoku, okv Pwknvyarnvnaam a kumkok jokok lwkdw pumja nga Jerusalem lo ritoku.
Then it was time for the Festival of the Dedication in Jerusalem.
23 Jisu Pwknvyarnvnaam gv Solomon Pvrvlo vngkarto,
It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple in the porch of Solomon.
24 vdwlo nyi vdwv ninyia goyum tokudw okv tvvkato, “No ngonua vdwnvgo ayungbv angaaja mobwng modubv? Jvjv nga ngonua minjilabv: no Kristo rungre?”
Then the Jews surrounded him and said to him, “How long will you hold us doubting? If you are the Christ, tell us openly.”
25 Jisu mirwkto, “Ngo nonua mintam jipvkunv, vbvritola nonu nga mvngjwng mato. Ngo, ngo Abu gv ngo lvgabv tolwkkunam ha minku lokv ngo hvkvnv ogu vdwa ridu;
Jesus replied to them, “I told you, but you do not believe. The works that I do in the name of my Father, these testify concerning me.
26 vbvritola nonu mvngjwng mare, vkvlvgabv nonu ngoogv svlar ma.
Yet you do not believe because you are not my sheep.
27 Ngoogv svlar v ngoogv minam ha tvvya dunv; ngo bunua chindu, okv bunu ngam vngming gvdu.
My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me.
29 Ngo Abu gv ngam jinammv ogumvnwng nga kaiyanvngv, Abu gv ringchum kunam lokv yvvka bunua dvrit nyulamare.
My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all others, and no one is able to snatch them out of the hand of the Father.
30 Abu la ngo akinnv.”
I and the Father are one.”
31 Vbvrikunamv nyi vdwv ninyia ordubv vla vlwng naarap nyatoku.
Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
32 Jisu bunua minto, “Abu gv ngam ritokv vla jinam a ngo alvnv achialvgo nonugv kaakulo ritoku; so gv alvnv rinam sokv ogubv nonu nga vlwng ortv dunv?”
Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of those works are you stoning me?”
33 Bunu mirwksito, “Ngonu nam alvnv rinam lvkwngbv vlwng ortvma, vbvritola no gv Pwknvyarnvnyi minyingminchu kunam lvkwnglo! No nyi nyimummv mvngchik, vbvritola no atuv Pwknvyarnv gubv mvsudubv rikwngdu!”
The Jews answered him, “We are not stoning you for any good work, but for blasphemy, because you, a man, are making yourself God.”
34 Jisu mirwkto, “So si nonugv Pvbv lo lvkpvpv Pwknvyarnv minto, ‘Nonu Pwknvyarnv vdwv.’
Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, 'I said, “You are gods”'?
35 Ngonu chindu Darwknv Kitaplo ogugo lvkpvdw hv jvjv bwngre; okv Pwknvyarnv ho nyi vdwa Pwknvyarnv vdwv vla minto, ninyigv doin a jikunam nyi vdwa.
If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the scripture cannot be broken),
36 Ngogvbv Abu ngam darto okv nyiamooku lo imuto. Vbvrikunamv, ngo Pwknvyarnv gv Kuunyilo ngv vnam lvkwnglo nonu ngam oguaingbv Pwknvyarnvnyi minyingminchudu vla minyu dunv?
do you say to him whom the Father set apart and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God'?
37 Vbvrikunamv ngam mvngjwng mabvka, ngo ngo Abu gv ngam ritokv vnam ha rima dunvlo.
If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not believe me.
38 Vbvritola ngo bunua rijeka, nonu ngam mvngjwngma, nonu ngoogv rinam lokaka achukgo mvngjwng tvvka, Abu ngoogvlo doodu okv ngo Abu gvlo doodu vla nonu mvnwngngv chiminam lvgabv.”
But if I am doing them, even if you do not believe me, believe in the works so that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and that I am in the Father.”
39 Bunu lvkodv Jisunyi naatung dubv rikwto, vbvritola hv bunugv laak lokv doksok lintoku.
They tried to seize him again, but he went away out of their hand.
40 Vbvrikunamv Jisu lvkodv vngkorla Jordan svko nga rapbola Jon gv baptisma jikulo vngtoku, okv hv hoka doolwk toku.
He went away again beyond the Jordan to the place where John had first been baptizing, and he stayed there.
41 Nyi vdwv nw gvlo achialvgo aatoku. “Jon lamrwpanam rila kaatam ma,” bunu minto, “Vbvritola ninyigv so nyi gv lvgabv minam mvnwngngv Jvjv rungpv.”
Many people came to him and they said, “John indeed did no signs, but all the things that John has said about this man are true.”
42 Okv hoka nyi achialvgo ninyia mvngjwng toku.
Many people believed in him there.
