Yohani 10
1 Kyang'haani nikuvavuula, umuunhu juno ikwingila muluvagha lwa ng'holo kisila kukilila pa mulyango, neke ikilila pavunge, ujuo mhiji kange mhijim'budi.
“Most assuredly I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2 Looli juno ikilila pa mulyango, ujuo ghwe ndiimi ghwa ng'holo.
But he who enters by the door is a shepherd of the sheep.
3 Umuloleleli ghwa luvagha ikun'dindulila umulyango, nasi ng'holo sipulika ilisio ilya n'diimi ujuo. Ghwope ikusikemeela ing'holo saake nijingi nilitavua lyake na kukusihumia kunji.
To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
4 Kyande asihumisie ing'holo saake sooni, umwene ilongola, iseene sikum'bingilila, ulwakuva silikagwile ilisio lyake.
And whenever he takes out his own sheep he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice.
5 Ing'holo nasingam'bingilile umuunhu umhesia, ulwene sikunkimbila ulwakuva nasilimanyile ilisio lyake.”
But they will not follow a stranger; rather they will run away from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.”
6 UYesu alyavavulile aveene ikihwanikisio iki, neke aveene navalyasitanghinie sino ikuvavuula.
Jesus gave them this illustration, but they did not understand what He was telling them.
7 Pe u Yesu akavavuula kange akati. Kyang'haani nikuvavuula, une nene mulyango ghwa luvagha pano sikwingilila ing'holo.
Then Jesus addressed them again: “Most assuredly I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 Avaanhu vooni vano valyatalile kulyune kuuva vadiimi va ng'holo, valyale vahiji kange vahiijivabudi, nasing'holo nasikavapulikagha.
All who ever came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.
9 Une neene mulyango, umuunhu juno ikwingila kukilila une ipokua. Kukilila une ikwingilagha na kuhuma na kuuva ni kyakulia.
I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.
10 Umhiiji ikwisa nu vufumbue vwa kuhija, kubuda na kunangania. Une nisile kuuti avaanhu vave nu vwumi, vave navwo ifighono fyoni.
The thief comes only in order to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come so that they may have life, and have it abundantly.
11 Une nili ndiimi nnofu. Undiimi unnofu, anoghile kufua vwimila ing'holo saake.
“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life on behalf of the sheep.
12 Umuunhu juno idiima ing'holo vwimila uluhombo, ujuo na ndiimi ghwa ng'holo, kange ing'holo nasaake, angavone ing'hekeeva jikwisa, ikimbila na kukusileka ing'holo seene. Pe ing'hekeeva jikwalukila ing'holo na kupalanisia.
But the hired man, not being the shepherd and not owning the sheep, sees the wolf coming and abandons the sheep, and runs away; and the wolf snatches the sheep and scatters them.
13 Umuunhu ujuo ikimbila ulwakuva uvufumbue vwake lwe luhombo, ing'holo na kiinu kwa mwene.
Now the hired man runs away because he is a hired man and it does not matter to him about the sheep.
14 Une nili n'diimi nnofu. Ing'holo sango nisikagwile, soope sing'hagwile.
“I am the good shepherd, and I know my own sheep, and I am known by them.
15 n'davule uNhaata vule ang'hagwile une, na juune vule ninkagwile umwene. Une nitavula uvwumi vwanga vwimila ing'holo.
Just as the Father knows me, I also know the Father, and I lay down my life on behalf of the sheep.
16 Nili ni ng'holo isingi sino nasili muluvagha ulu. Soope isio nilonda kukusileeta, soope sikumhulikagha. Apuo kiiva kipugha kimo, nu ndiimi jumo.
I also have other sheep, that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice; and there will be one flock, one shepherd.
17 Ulu, fyenambe uNhaata anganile: Nitavwile kufua, neke niiva mwumi kange.
“Because of this the Father loves me, in that I lay down my life so that I may take it up again.
18 Nakwale umuunhu juno ndepoonu ivusia uvwumi vwango, looli une nitavwile june kufua. Une nilinuvutavulilua uvwa kuvusia uvwumi vwango, kange nili nu vutavulilua uvwa kuvugomosia. Nuupile ululaghilo ulu kuhuma kwa Nhaata.”
No one takes it 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. This command I have received from my Father.”
19 Amasio aghuo ghakapelela aVayahudi kulekeng'hana.
Therefore there was another division among the Jews because of these words.
20 Vinga mu veene vakati, “Uju ali ni lipepo, kange apelwike. Lwakiki kukumpulikisia?”
Many of them were saying: “He has a demon and is raving mad. Why do you listen to him?”
21 Avange vakava viiti, “Amasio aghuo naghihuma mwa muunhu unya lipepo. Asi, ilipepo ndepoonu likumpelela um'bofu amaaso kulola?”
Others were saying: “These are not the sayings of someone who is demonized. A demon cannot open blind people's eyes, can it?”
22 Pe ghukafika unsiki ughwa kikulukulu ikya kwimika ku Yelusalemu.
Now it was the Feast of Dedication in Jerusalem; and it was winter.
23 Pe pano aVayahudi vamonga Unsiki ughuo ghulyale ghwa mhepo, uYesu alyale mu nyumba inyimike ija kufunyila, ighenda ghenda mu luviika luno lukatambulwagha, “Luviika lwa Solomoni.”
And Jesus was walking about in the temple, in Solomon's porch.
24 Pe pano aVayahudi vamonga vakankong'hanila, vakam'buula vakati, “Ghukutuviika mu nganighani mpaka liighi? Nave veeve Kilisite tuvuule pa vuvalafu!”
Then the Jews surrounded Him and said to Him: “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.”
25 UYesu akavamula akati, “Une nivavulile kuuti neene veeni, neke umue namukwitika. Sino nivomba mu litavua lya Nhaata, sihufia kuuti neene veeni.
Jesus answered them: “I did tell you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name—these testify concerning me.
26 Neke umue namukwitika ulwakuva namuli ng'holo sango.
But you do not believe because you are not among my sheep, just like I told you.
27 Ing'holo sango sipulika ilisio lyango, na juune nisikagwile, soope sikumbingilila.
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
29 UNhaata ghwango juno amheliile ing'holo isio, m'baha kukila vooni, kange nakwale umuunhu juno ndepoonu ikusivusia mu mavoko ghaake.
My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch out of my Father's hand.
30 Une nu Nhaata tuli vumo.”
I and the Father are one.”
31 Ye vapuliike isio, vakahola kange amavue kuuti vantove.
Therefore the Jews picked up stones again to stone Him.
32 Neke uYesu akavavuula akati, “Nivombile imbombo nyinga inofu pamaaso ghiinu. Imbombo isio nivombile ku ngufu sa Nhaata. Lino, mu sino nivombile, lukilu luno lukuvapelela kukunhova na mavue?”
Jesus answered them: “Many good works I have shown you from my Father. For which one of them are you stoning me?”
33 AVayahudi vakamwamula bakati, “Natulonda kukukutova na mavue vwimila imbombo inofu sino uvombile, ulwene tukukutova ulwakuva ghukumuligha uNguluve. Ghukuviika uli Nguluve napano uli muunhu ndavule avaanhu avange!”
The Jews answered Him saying, “It is not for a good work that we are stoning you, but for blasphemy; precisely because you, being a man, make yourself God!”
34 UYesu akavamula akati, “Nalilembilue mufitabu fiinu ifya ndaghilo kuuti, 'Umue muli manguluve”'?”
Jesus answered them: “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, you are gods’?
35 Nave alyavatambwile manguluve, avaanu vano valyapuliike ilisio lyake (kange aMalembe aMimike ifighono fyoni ghijova isa kyang'haani),
If He called them ‘gods’ to whom the Word of God came—and the Scripture cannot be broken—
36 lino mujova kwa juno uNhaata alyantavwile akansung'ha mu iisi mwiti, 'nikumaligha u Nguluve,' pano niiti 'Une nili Mwana ghwa Nguluve'?
do you say ‘You are blaspheming’ to the One the Father sanctified and sent into the world because I said, ‘I am God's Son’?
37 Nave nanivomba imbombo isa Nhaata, namunganyiti kange.
If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not believe me.
38 Neke nave nivomba, nambe namukunyitika, mwitikaghe vwimila imbombo isio neke mukagule na kukulutanghania kuuti uNhaata ali mulyune, najuune nili mwa Nhaata.”
But if I am doing them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, so that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in Him.”
39 Neke vakava vilonda pikunkola kange, neke uYesu akavatyegha.
So they tried again to seize Him, but He escaped from their hand.
40 U Yesu akaluta kange imwambo ija ikya Yolidani, pano uYohani alyale ikwofugha avaanhu, akava ukuo ifighono fidebe.
He went away again across the Jordan, to the place where John was baptizing at first; and He remained there.
41 Ye ali kula, avaanhu vinga vakaluta kwa mwene viiti, “UYohani naalyavombile nambe ikivalilo kimo, neke imhola sooni sino alyajovile vwimila umuunhu uju, sa kyang'haani.
And many came to Him and said, “Though John did not perform any sign, everything John said about this man was true.”
42 Ukuo avaanhu vinga vakamwitika uYesu.
And many of the people there believed into Him.
