1 “Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Ko ia ʻoku ʻikai hū ʻi he matapā ki he lotoʻā sipi, ka ʻoku kaka hake ʻi he hala kehe, ko e kaihaʻa ia mo e fakamālohi.
VERILY, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheep-fold, but getteth in some other way, that person is a thief and a robber.
2 Ka ko ia ʻoku hū ʻi he matapā, ko e tauhi ia ʻoe fanga sipi.
He that entereth by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 ‌ʻOku toʻo kiate ia ʻe he leʻo; pea fanongo ki hono leʻo ʻae fanga sipi pea ʻoku ne ui ʻae sipi ʻaʻana ʻi [honau hingoa ]ʻo ne tataki atu ʻakinautolu.
To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own peculiar sheep by name, and leadeth them forth.
4 Pea ka tuku atu ʻe ia ʻene sipi ʻaʻana ʻoku ʻalu muʻomuʻa ia ʻiate kinautolu, pea muimui ʻae sipi ʻiate ia: he ʻoku nau ʻilo hono leʻo.”
And when he bringeth out his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: because they know his voice.
5 Pea ʻe ʻikai te nau muimui ʻi ha foʻou, ka te nau hola meiate ia: he ʻoku ʻikai te nau ʻilo ʻae leʻo ʻoe foʻou.
And a stranger will they not follow, but will fly from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
6 Naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe Sisu ʻae fakatātā ni kiate kinautolu: ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo hono ʻuhinga ʻo ʻene lea kiate kinautolu.
This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they knew nothing of the things which he spake to them.
7 Pea toe tala ai ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, Ko au ko e matapā ki he fanga sipi.
Therefore Jesus said unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that I am the door of the sheep.
8 Ko kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe muʻomuʻa ʻiate au, ko e kau kaihaʻa mo e fakamālohi: ka naʻe ʻikai fanongo ʻae fanga sipi kiate kinautolu.
All, as many as have gone before me, are thieves and robbers: but the sheep hearkened not to them.
9 Ko au pe ko e matapā: pea ko ia ʻe hū ange ʻiate au, ʻe moʻui ia, pea ʻe feʻaluʻaki ai pe ia, ʻo maʻu ʻae meʻakai.
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 ‌ʻOku ʻikai haʻu ʻae kaihaʻa, ka ke kaihaʻasi, pea ke tāmateʻi, pea ke fakaʻauha: kuo u haʻu au ke nau maʻu ʻae moʻui, pea ke nau maʻu ia ʻo lahi ʻaupito.
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 “Ko au ko e tauhi lelei: ʻoku foaki ʻe he tauhi lelei ʻa ʻene moʻui koeʻuhi ko e fanga sipi.
I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep.
12 Ka ko ia ʻoku unga ki he ngāue, ka ʻoku ʻikai ko e tauhi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ʻaʻana ʻae fanga sipi, ʻoku mamata ia ʻoku haʻu ʻae ulofi, pea siʻaki ʻae fanga sipi, kae hola: pea moʻua ia ʻe he ulofi, ʻo fakahēʻi ʻae fanga sipi.
But the hireling, and he that is not the shepherd, whose own property the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth; and the wolf seizes upon them, and disperseth the sheep.
13 ‌ʻOku hola ʻae unga ngāue, koeʻuhi ko e unga ngāue [pe ]ia, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻofa ia ki he fanga sipi.
Now the hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
14 Ko au ko e tauhi lelei; pea hangē ʻoku ʻilo au ʻe he Tamai, peau ʻilo foki ʻae Tamai,
I am the good shepherd, and know my own sheep, and am known of my own.
15 [ʻOku pehē ]ʻa ʻeku ʻilo ʻaia ʻoku ʻaʻaku, mo e ʻilo au ʻekinautolu: pea ʻoku ou tuku hifo ʻeku moʻui koeʻuhi ko e fanga sipi.
As the Father knoweth me, so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 Pea ʻoku ai mo ʻeku fanga sipi kehe, ʻoku ʻikai ʻi he lotoʻā ko eni: te u ʻomi ʻakinautolu foki, pea te nau fanongo ki hoku leʻo; pea ʻe ai ʻae lotoʻā pe taha, mo e tauhi pe taha.”
And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: these also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, one shepherd.
17 Ko ia ʻoku ʻofa ai ʻa ʻeku Tamai kiate au, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku tuku hifo ʻeku moʻui, kau toe toʻo ia.
Therefore doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
18 ‌ʻOku ʻikai ke toʻo ia ʻe ha taha ʻiate au, ka ʻoku ou tuku hifo ia ʻeau pe. ʻOku ou mafai ke tuku hifo ia, pea ʻoku ou mafai ke toe toʻo ia. Ko e fekau ni kuo u maʻu mei heʻeku Tamai.”
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 I have received from my Father.
19 Pea naʻe toe fakakikihi ʻae kakai Siu, ko e meʻa ʻi he ngaahi lea ni.
There was therefore a division again among the Jews, on account of these sayings.
20 Pea pehē ʻe honau tokolahi, “ʻOku ʻiate ia ha tēvolo, pea ʻoku faha; ko e hā ʻoku mou fanongo ai kiate ia?”
Then many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hearken to him?
21 Pea pehē ʻe he niʻihi, “ʻOku ʻikai ko e lea eni ʻa ha taha ʻoku ʻi ai ha tēvolo. ʻE mafai ʻe ha tēvolo ke fakaʻā ʻae mata ʻoe kui?”
Others said, These are not the discourses of a demoniac. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
22 Pea naʻe fai ʻi Selūsalema ʻae kātoanga ʻoe fakafoʻou, pea ko e faʻahitaʻu momoko.
Then was the feast of dedication at Jerusalem, and it was winter.
23 Pea naʻe ʻeveʻeva ʻa Sisu ʻi he falelotu lahi, ʻi he fale hala ʻo Solomone.
And Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon’s portico.
24 Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae kakai Siu, ʻo kāpui ia, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “ʻE fēfē hono fuoloa mo hoʻo taʻefakaʻilo kiate kimautolu? Kapau ko e Kalaisi koe, tala totonu mai kiate kimautolu.”
Then the Jews came about him, and said to him, How long dost thou keep our soul in suspense? If thou art the Messiah, tell us plainly.
25 Pea leaange ʻa Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Naʻaku tala kiate kimoutolu, ka naʻe ʻikai te mou tui: ko e ngaahi ngāue ʻoku ou fai ʻi he huafa ʻo ʻeku Tamai, ʻoku fakamoʻoniʻi ai au.”
Jesus answered them; I told you, and ye believed not: the works which I do in the name of my Father, they bear witness of me.
26 Ka ʻoku ʻikai te mou tui, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ʻi heʻeku fanga sipi ʻakimoutolu.
But ye believe not, for ye are not of my sheep, as I told you.
27 ‌ʻOku fanongo ʻeku fanga sipi ki hoku leʻo, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku tala kiate kimoutolu: pea ʻoku ou ʻiloa ʻakinautolu, pea ʻoku nau muimui ʻiate au:
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28 Pea ʻoku ou foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae moʻui taʻengata; pea ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te nau ʻauha, pe ʻe ʻikai ha taha te ne hamusi ʻakinautolu mei hoku nima. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
and I give unto them everlasting life and they shall never perish to eternity, and no person shall pluck them out of my hand. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
29 Ko ʻeku Tamai, ʻaia naʻa ne foaki mai kiate au, ʻoku lahi taha pe ia; pea ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻoku faʻa hamusi mei he nima ʻo ʻeku Tamai.
My Father, who gave them to me, is greater than all and no one shall pluck them out of my Father’s hand.
30 Ko au mo e Tamai ʻoku ma taha pe.
I and my Father are one.
31 Pea toe toʻo hake ʻe he kakai Siu ʻae maka, ke nau tolongaki ʻaki ia.
Then the Jews again brought stones, in order to stone him.
32 Pea leaange ʻa Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Kuo lahi ʻae ngāue lelei kuo u fakahā kiate kimoutolu mei heʻeku Tamai; ko e ngāue fē ia ʻoku mou tolongakiʻi ai au?
Jesus said unto them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which work of these are ye going to stone me?
33 Pea talaange ʻe he kau Siu kiate ia, ʻo pehē, ʻOku ʻikai ko ha ngāue lelei ʻoku mau tolongakiʻi ai koe; ka ko e fie ʻOtua pe; koeʻuhi ko e tangata pe ʻa koe, ka ʻoku ke fai ke ʻOtua.”
The Jews answered him, For a good work we do not stone thee; but for blasphemy; and that thou, being merely a man, makest thyself God.
34 Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻIkai kuo tohi ʻi hoʻomou fono, Ne u pehē, ‘Ko e ngaahi ʻotua ʻakimoutolu?’
Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, “I said ye are gods?”
35 Kapau ʻoku ui ko e ʻotua ʻakinautolu naʻe folofola ki ai ʻae ʻOtua, pea ʻe ʻikai faʻa liʻaki ʻae tohi;
If he called those gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
36 ‌ʻOku mou pehē kiate ia kuo fakatapui ʻe he Tamai, ʻo fekau ki māmani, ʻOku ke fie ʻOtua; koeʻuhi naʻaku pehē, Ko e ʻAlo au ʻoe ʻOtua?
do ye say of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest because I said, I am the Son of God?
37 Kapau ʻoku ʻikai te u fai ʻae ngāue ʻo ʻeku Tamai, ʻoua te mou tui kiate au.
If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
38 Ka ʻi heʻeku fai ia, kapau ʻoku ʻikai te mou tui kiate au, tui ki he ngāue: koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo, mo tui, ʻoku ʻiate au ʻae Tamai, mo au ʻiate ia.”
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 Ko ia naʻa nau toe fie puke ai ia: ka naʻa ne fakahaofi ia mei honau nima,
Then sought they again to apprehend him and he departed out of their reach,
40 ‌ʻO toe ʻalu ki he potu ʻituʻa Sioatani, ʻaia naʻe tomuʻa fai papitaiso ai ʻa Sione; pea nofo ai ia.
and went again beyond Jordan, unto the place where John at first baptised; and there he abode.
41 Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae tokolahi kiate ia, ʻonau pehē, “Naʻe ʻikai fai ʻe Sione ha mana: ka ko e meʻa kotoa pē naʻe lea ki ai ʻa Sione ki he tangata ni, ʻoku moʻoni.”
And many came to him, and said, That John indeed performed no miracle: but all things whatsoever John spake of this man were true.
42 Pea naʻe tui ʻae tokolahi ʻi ai kiate ia.
And many believed on him there.
