John 10
1 “Lóòótọ́, lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín, ẹni tí kò bá gba ẹnu-ọ̀nà wọ inú agbo àgùntàn, ṣùgbọ́n tí ó bá gba ibòmíràn gun òkè, òun náà ni olè àti ọlọ́ṣà.
“Most certainly, I tell you, one who does not enter by the door into the sheep fold, but climbs up some other way, is a thief and a robber.
2 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó bá ti ẹnu-ọ̀nà wọlé, Òun ni olùṣọ́ àwọn àgùntàn.
But one who enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 Òun ni aṣọ́nà yóò ṣílẹ̀kùn fún; àwọn àgùntàn gbọ́ ohùn rẹ̀, ó sì pe àwọn àgùntàn tirẹ̀ lórúkọ, ó sì ṣe amọ̀nà wọn jáde.
The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
4 Nígbà tí ó bá sì ti mú àwọn àgùntàn tirẹ̀ jáde, yóò síwájú wọn, àwọn àgùntàn yóò sì máa tọ̀ ọ́ lẹ́yìn, nítorí tí wọ́n mọ ohùn rẹ̀.
Whenever he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
5 Wọn kò jẹ́ tọ àlejò lẹ́yìn, ṣùgbọ́n wọn a sá kúrò lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, nítorí tí wọn kò mọ ohùn àlejò.”
They will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him; for they do not know the voice of strangers.”
6 Òwe yìí ni Jesu pa fún wọn, ṣùgbọ́n òye ohun tí nǹkan wọ̀nyí tí ó ń sọ fún wọn kò yé wọn.
Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they did not understand what he was telling them.
7 Nítorí náà Jesu tún wí fún wọn pé, “Lóòótọ́, lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín, Èmi ni ìlẹ̀kùn àwọn àgùntàn.
Jesus therefore said to them again, “Most certainly, I tell you, I am the sheep’s door.
8 Olè àti ọlọ́ṣà ni gbogbo àwọn tí ó ti wà ṣáájú mi, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn àgùntàn kò gbọ́ tiwọn.
All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.
9 Èmi ni ìlẹ̀kùn, bí ẹnìkan bá bá ọ̀dọ̀ mi wọlé, òun ni a ó gbàlà, yóò wọlé, yóò sì jáde, yóò sì rí koríko.
I am the door. If anyone enters in by me, he will be saved, and will go in and go out and will find pasture.
10 Olè kì í wá bí kò ṣe láti jalè, láti pa, àti láti parun; èmi wá kí wọn lè ní ìyè, àní kí wọn lè ní i lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀.
The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.
11 “Èmi ni olùṣọ́-àgùntàn rere, olùṣọ́-àgùntàn rere fi ọkàn rẹ̀ lélẹ̀ nítorí àwọn àgùntàn.
“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
12 Ṣùgbọ́n alágbàṣe, tí kì í ṣe olùṣọ́-àgùntàn, ẹni tí àwọn àgùntàn kì í ṣe tirẹ̀, ó rí ìkookò ń bọ̀, ó sì fi àgùntàn sílẹ̀, ó sì fọ́n wọn ká kiri.
He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming, leaves the sheep, and flees. The wolf snatches the sheep and scatters them.
13 Òun sálọ nítorí tí ó jẹ́ alágbàṣe, kò sì náání àwọn àgùntàn.
The hired hand flees because he is a hired hand and does not care for the sheep.
14 “Èmi ni olùṣọ́-àgùntàn rere, mo sì mọ àwọn tèmi, àwọn tèmi sì mọ̀ mí.
I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and I am known by my own;
15 Gẹ́gẹ́ bí Baba ti mọ̀ mí, tí èmi sì mọ Baba, mo sì fi ọkàn mi lélẹ̀ nítorí àwọn àgùntàn.
even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 Èmi sì ní àwọn àgùntàn mìíràn, tí kì í ṣe agbo yìí: àwọn ni èmi yóò mú wá pẹ̀lú, wọn yóò sì gbọ́ ohùn mi; wọn ó sì jẹ́ agbo kan, olùṣọ́-àgùntàn kan.
I have other sheep which are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will hear my voice. They will become one flock with one shepherd.
17 Nítorí náà ni Baba mi ṣe fẹ́ràn mi, nítorí tí mo fi ẹ̀mí mi lélẹ̀, kí èmi lè tún gbà á.
Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
18 Ẹnìkan kò gbà á lọ́wọ́ mi, ṣùgbọ́n mo fi í lélẹ̀, mo sì lágbára láti tún gbà á. Àṣẹ yìí ni mo ti gbà wá láti ọ̀dọ̀ Baba mi.”
No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down by myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. I received this commandment from my Father.”
19 Nítorí náà ìyapa tún wà láàrín àwọn Júù nítorí ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí.
Therefore a division arose again among the Jews because of these words.
20 Ọ̀pọ̀ nínú wọn sì wí pé, “Ó ní ẹ̀mí èṣù, orí rẹ̀ sì dàrú; èéṣe tí ẹ̀yin fi ń gbọ́rọ̀ rẹ̀?”
Many of them said, “He has a demon and is insane! Why do you listen to him?”
21 Àwọn mìíràn wí pé, “Ìwọ̀nyí kì í ṣe ọ̀rọ̀ ẹni tí ó ní ẹ̀mí èṣù. Ẹ̀mí èṣù lè la ojú àwọn afọ́jú bí?”
Others said, “These are not the sayings of one possessed by a demon. It is not possible for a demon to open the eyes of the blind, is it?”
22 Àkókò náà sì jẹ́ àjọ̀dún ìyàsímímọ́ ní Jerusalẹmu, ni ìgbà òtútù.
It was the Feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem.
23 Jesu sì ń rìn ní tẹmpili, ní ìloro Solomoni.
It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon’s porch.
24 Nítorí náà àwọn Júù wá dúró yí i ká, wọ́n sì wí fún un pé, “Ìwọ ó ti mú wa ṣe iyèméjì pẹ́ tó? Bí ìwọ bá ni Kristi náà, wí fún wa gbangba.”
The Jews therefore came around him and said to him, “How long will you hold us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.”
25 Jesu dá wọn lóhùn pé, “Èmi ti wí fún yín, ẹ̀yin kò sì gbàgbọ́; iṣẹ́ tí èmi ń ṣe lórúkọ Baba mi, àwọn ni ó ń jẹ́rìí mi.
Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name, these testify about me.
26 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin kò gbàgbọ́, nítorí ẹ̀yin kò sí nínú àwọn àgùntàn mi, gẹ́gẹ́ bí mo tí wí fún yín.
But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep, as I told you.
27 Àwọn àgùntàn mi ń gbọ́ ohùn mi, èmi sì mọ̀ wọ́n, wọn a sì máa tọ̀ mí lẹ́yìn.
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
29 Baba mi, ẹni tí ó fi wọ́n fún mi pọ̀ ju gbogbo wọn lọ; kò sì ṣí ẹni tí ó lè já wọn gbà kúrò lọ́wọ́ Baba mi.
My Father who has given them to me is greater than all. No one is able to snatch them out of my Father’s hand.
30 Ọ̀kan ni èmi àti Baba mi.”
I and the Father are one.”
31 Àwọn Júù sì tún mú òkúta, láti sọ lù ú.
Therefore the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
32 Jesu dá wọn lóhùn pé, “Ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ iṣẹ́ rere ni mo fihàn yín láti ọ̀dọ̀ Baba mi wá, nítorí èwo nínú iṣẹ́ wọ̀nyí ni ẹ̀yin ṣe sọ mí ní òkúta?”
Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?”
33 Àwọn Júù sì dá a lóhùn pé, “Àwa kò sọ ọ́ lókùúta nítorí iṣẹ́ rere, ṣùgbọ́n nítorí ọ̀rọ̀-òdì, àti nítorí ìwọ tí í ṣe ènìyàn ń fi ara rẹ pe Ọlọ́run.”
The Jews answered him, “We do not stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God.”
34 Jesu dá wọn lóhùn pé, “A kò ha tí kọ ọ́ nínú òfin yín pé, ‘Mo ti wí pé, Ọlọ́run ni ẹ̀yin jẹ́’?
Jesus answered them, “Is not it written in your law, ‘I said, you are gods’?
35 Bí ó bá pè wọ́n ní ‘ọlọ́run,’ àwọn ẹni tí a fi ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run fún, a kò sì lè ba ìwé mímọ́ jẹ́.
If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken),
36 Kín ni ẹyin ha ń wí ní ti ẹni tí Baba yà sọ́tọ̀, tí ó sì rán sí ayé kín lo de ti ẹ fi ẹ̀sùn kàn mi pé mò ń sọ̀rọ̀-òdì nítorí pé mo sọ pé, ‘Èmi ni Ọmọ Ọlọ́run.’
do you say of him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You blaspheme,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?
37 Bí èmi kò bá ṣe iṣẹ́ Baba mi, ẹ má ṣe gbà mí gbọ́.
If I do not do the works of my Father, do not believe me.
38 Ṣùgbọ́n bí èmi bá ṣe wọ́n, bí ẹ̀yin kò tilẹ̀ gbà mí gbọ́, ẹ gbà iṣẹ́ náà gbọ́, kí ẹ̀yin ba à lè mọ̀, kí ó sì lè yé yín pé, Baba wà nínú mi, èmi sì wà nínú rẹ̀.”
But if I do them, though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.”
39 Wọ́n sì tún ń wá ọ̀nà láti mú un: ó sì bọ́ lọ́wọ́ wọn.
They sought again to seize him, and he went out of their hand.
40 Ó sì tún kọjá lọ sí apá kejì Jordani sí ibi tí Johanu ti kọ́kọ́ ń bamitiisi; níbẹ̀ ni ó sì jókòó.
He went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was baptizing at first, and he stayed there.
41 Àwọn ènìyàn púpọ̀ sì wá sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, wọ́n sì wí pé, “Johanu kò ṣe iṣẹ́ àmì kan, Ṣùgbọ́n òtítọ́ ni ohun gbogbo tí Johanu sọ nípa ti ọkùnrin yìí.”
Many came to him. They said, “John indeed did no sign, but everything that John said about this man is true.”
42 Àwọn ènìyàn púpọ̀ níbẹ̀ sì gbà á gbọ́.
Many believed in him there.
