Yohane 10
1 “Mereka nokware akyerɛ mo Farisifo no se, onipa biara a ɔmfa nguankuw kwan ano na ɔfa ɔkwan foforo so foro kɔ mu no yɛ owifo.
Verily, verily I say unto you, He that entreth not into the sheep-fold by the door, but climbeth up some other way, is a thief and a robber.
2 Onipa a ɔfa ɔkwan ano kɔ mu no ne oguanhwɛfo no.
But he that cometh in by the door, is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 Ɔpon no anohwɛfo no bue ɔpon no ma no, na sɛ ɔfrɛ nguan no nso a wɔte ne nne ma ɔde wɔn fi adi.
To him the porter openeth, and the sheep hear his voice; and He calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
4 Sɛ ɔde wɔn fi adi a, odi nguan no anim na nguan no nso di nʼakyi, efisɛ wɔte ne nne.
And when he bringeth forth his sheep, he goeth before them: and the sheep follow him; because they know his voice.
5 Wɔrenni onipa foforo biara akyi. Na sɛ ɔfrɛ wɔn a wɔremma, efisɛ wɔnte ne nne.”
But they will not follow a stranger, but will flee from him; because they know not the voice of strangers.
6 Yesu buu wɔn saa bɛ yi nanso nnipa no ante no ase.
This parable Jesus spake unto them; but they did not understand what He said to them.
7 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn bio se, “Mereka nokware akyerɛ mo se mene nguannan no ano pon no.
Jesus therefore said unto them again, Verily, verily I tell you, that I am the door of the sheep.
8 Wɔn a wodii mʼanim kan no yɛ awifo ne adwowtwafo; ɛno nti nguan no ante wɔn nne anni wɔn akyi.
All that came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not regard them.
9 Mene ɔpon no. Obiara a ɔnam me so bewura mu no benya nkwa; wobewura mu asan afi adi na wobenya adidibea.
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 Owifo ba a, obewia anaasɛ obedi awu anaasɛ ɔbɛsɛe ade. Me de, maba sɛ ɛbɛyɛ a mubenya nkwa a edi mu.
The thief cometh only to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they may have life, and may have it in perfection.
11 “Mene oguanhwɛfo pa no. Oguanhwɛfo pa no ne obi a otumi de ne nkwa to hɔ ma ne nguan.
I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep.
12 Obi a wɔabɔ no paa sɛ ɔnhwɛ nguan so no nyɛ nguan no wura; ɛno nti, sɛ ohu sɛ pataku reba a oguan gyaw nguan no hɔ, na pataku no tow hyɛ nguan no so ma wɔbɔ ahwete.
But the hireling, that is not the true shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf seizeth them, and disperseth the sheep.
13 Ɔpaani no guan, efisɛ wɔabɔ no paa na nguan no yiyedi mfa ne ho.
Now the hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
14 “Mene oguanhwɛfo pa no. Minim me nguan na me nguan nso nim me,
I am the good shepherd, and I know my own sheep, and am known by them.
15 sɛnea Agya no nim me na me nso minim Agya no. Masiesie me ho nso sɛ mewu ama nguan no.
Even as the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 Nguan afoforo bi wɔ hɔ a wɔyɛ me de nanso wonnya mmɛkaa saa nguankuw yi ho ɛ. Ɛsɛ sɛ mede wɔn nso bɛka saa nguankuw yi ho. Wobetie me nne na wɔbɛyɛ nguankuw baako a oguanhwɛfo baako pɛ na ɔhwɛ wɔn so.
And I have other sheep, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they will hear my voice; so there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
17 Agya no dɔ me efisɛ masiesie me ho sɛ mede me nkwa bɛto hɔ sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a daakye me nsa bɛka bio.
For this doth the Father love me; because I lay down my life: that I may take it again.
18 Obiara rentumi nnye me nkwa mfi me nsam. Me ara me pɛ mu na mede bɛma. Mewɔ tumi sɛ mede ma na mewɔ tumi nso sɛ mesan gye bio. Eyi ne nea mʼAgya ahyɛ me sɛ menyɛ no.”
None 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 Asɛm a Yesu kae no nti, ɛmaa mpaapaemu baa Yudafo no mu.
There was a division therefore again among the Jews on account of these words.
20 Wɔn mu pii kae se, “Ɔwɔ honhommɔne! Nʼadwene mu ka no! Adɛn nti na mutie no?”
And many of them said, He is a demoniac, and is mad; why do ye hear Him?
21 Afoforo nso kae se, “Onipa a ɔwɔ honhommɔne rentumi nkasa sɛɛ! Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na obi a ɔwɔ honhommɔne betumi ama onifuraefo ahu ade?”
Others said, These are not the words of a demoniac; can a demon open the eyes of the blind?
22 Awɔw bere bi mu a Asɔredandwira duu wɔ Yerusalem no,
Now it was the feast of dedication at Jerusalem, and it was winter.
23 Yesu kɔpasee wɔ asɔredan no mu baabi a wɔfrɛ hɔ se Salomo Abrannaa so.
And Jesus was walking about the temple, in Solomon's portico.
24 Yudafo no betwaa ne ho hyia kae se, “Wobɛma yɛatwɛn akosi da bɛn? Sɛ wone Kristo no a, pae mu ka kyerɛ yɛn.”
Then the Jews came round Him, and said unto Him, How long dost thou hold us in suspense? If thou be the Messiah, tell us plainly.
25 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Maka akyerɛ mo dedaw nanso munnnye me nni. Me nnwuma a menam mʼAgya tumi so yɛ no di me ho adanse,
Jesus answered them, I have told you, and ye do not believe me: though the works that I do in the name of my Father, testify of me.
26 nanso munnnye nni, efisɛ monyɛ me nguan.
But ye believe not; because ye are not of my sheep: for as I said unto you, my sheep hear my voice,
27 Me nguan te me nne, me nso minim wɔn na wodi mʼakyi.
and I know them, and they follow me.
29 MʼAgya a ɔde wɔn maa me no wɔ tumi sen obiara, na obiara rentumi nhuam wɔn mfi me nsam.
My Father who gave them to me, is greater than all: and therefore none is able to force them out of my Father's hand.
30 Me ne Agya no yɛ baako.”
I and the Father are one. Then the Jews again took up stones to stone Him.
31 Yudafo no san tasee abo sɛ anka wɔde rebesiw no.
But Jesus said unto them,
32 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mayɛ nnwuma pa pii a Agya no de hyɛɛ me nsa sɛ menyɛ no ama moahu, na emu nea ɛwɔ he ho nti na mopɛ sɛ musiw me abo yi?”
Many good works have I shewn you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
33 Yudafo no buaa no se, “Ɛnyɛ wo nnwuma pa bi a woayɛ no nti na yɛpɛ sɛ yesiw wo abo, na mmom wʼabususɛm a wokae no nti. Woyɛ onipa desani nso woyɛ wo ho sɛ Onyankopɔn!”
The Jews answered Him, saying, We do not go about to stone thee for a good work, but for blasphemy; and because thou being a man makest thyself God.
34 Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Wɔakyerɛw wɔ mo ara ankasa mo mmara mu se, Onyankopɔn kae se, ‘Moyɛ anyame.’
Jesus replied, Is it not written in your law, "I have said, ye are gods?"
35 Ɛno nti sɛ Onyankopɔn nam anyamesɛm a ɛyɛ nokware so frɛ wɔn a Onyankopɔn asɛm baa wɔn nkyɛn no se ‘anyame’ a,
And if it stiled them gods, to whom the word of God came, (and the scripture cannot be made void, )
36 adɛn na sɛ nea Agya no somaa no baa wiase no ka se, ‘mene Onyankopɔn Ba no’ a muse waka abususɛm?
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 Sɛ menyɛ nnwuma a mʼAgya pɛ sɛ meyɛ no de a ɛno de, munnnye me nni.
If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
38 Nanso sɛ meyɛ mʼAgya no nnwuma na sɛ munnnye me nni mpo a munnye nnwuma no nni sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mubegye adi sɛ Agya no wɔ me mu na me nso mewɔ ne mu.”
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 Nkurɔfo no pɛɛ sɛ wɔkyere no bio, nanso wɔantumi.
Therefore they sought again to seize Him; but He escaped out of their hand, and went away again beyond Jordan,
40 Yesu san twa kɔɔ Yordan agya wɔ faako a Yohane bɔ asu no kɔtenaa hɔ.
to the place where John was at first baptizing, and there He abode.
41 Nnipa bebree kɔɔ ne nkyɛn. Wɔn mu dodow no ara kae se, “Yohane anyɛ anwonwade, nanso biribiara a ɔka faa saa ɔbarima yi ho no yɛ nokware.”
And many resorted to Him, and said, John wrought no miracle, but all that he said concerning this man, was true.
42 Nnipa a wɔwɔ hɔ no mu bebree gyee no dii.
And many there believed on Him.
