John 10
1 [Jesus continued by saying to us], “Listen carefully to what I say. Anyone who does not enter [the sheep pen] through the gate, if he climbs in some other way, he is a thief or a bandit.
Sannerliga, sannerliga säger jag eder: Hvilken icke går in genom dörrena i fårahuset, utan stiger annorstäds in, han är en tjuf, och en röfvare.
2 The man who enters [the pen] through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.
Men hvilken som går in genom dörrena, han är herden till fåren.
3 The man who watches the gate at [night] opens the gate for him. The sheep recognize the shepherd’s voice. He summons his own sheep by [calling out] the names [he has given] them. Then he leads them outside [the pen].
För honom låter dörravården upp, och fåren höra hans röst; och sin egen får kallar han vid namn, och leder dem ut.
4 After he has brought out all his own [sheep], he goes in front of them. His sheep follow him because they recognize [and pay attention to] his voice.
Och när han hafver släppt sin egen får ut, går han för dem, och fåren följa honom efter; ty de känna hans röst.
5 But they will never follow a stranger. Instead, they will run away from him, because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.”
Men den främmande följa de icke, utan fly ifrå honom; ty de känna icke deras röst, som främmande äro.
6 Jesus said that [MET] [to illustrate the difference between himself and the Pharisees, who were deceiving the people]. But they did not understand what he was telling them.
Denna liknelsen sade Jesus till dem; men de förstodo icke hvad det var, som han sade dem.
7 So Jesus spoke to them again. He said, “Listen carefully to what I am saying. I am [like] [MET] a gate for the sheep [to enter the sheepfold, because I am the one who allows people to enter God’s presence].
Åter sade Jesus till dem: Sannerliga, sannerliga säger jag eder: Jag är dörren för fåren.
8 All of [your religious leaders] who have come previously [without my authority] are [like] [MET] thieves and bandits [because they act violently and dishonestly for their own benefit]. But [just like] sheep do not [obey strangers, God’s people do not] pay attention to them.
Alle de som för mig komne äro, de äro tjufvar och röfvare; men fåren hörde dem intet.
9 I am [like] a gate. Those will be saved {[God] will save all those} who come [to God] by [trusting in] me. [Just like sheep] go in and out [through the gate safely] to find pasture [MET], [I will provide for them and protect them].
Jag är dörren; hvilken som ingår igenom mig, han skall blifva salig; och skall ingå och utgå, och finna bet.
10 Thieves come [to a sheep pen] only to steal or kill or destroy [sheep] [MET]. [Similarly, your religious leaders injure God’s people spiritually]. But I have come in order that people may have [eternal/spiritual] life, and that they may have abundantly [all they need to sustain them spiritually].
Tjufven kommer icke, utan till att stjäla, slagta och förgöra; jag är kommen, på det de skola hafva lif, och öfvernog hafva.
11 I am [like] a good shepherd. A good shepherd [is willing to] die to save the sheep [MET]. [Similarly, I am ready to sacrifice myself to save those who belong to me].
Jag är den gode herden; den gode herden låter sitt lif för fåren.
12 A worker whom someone has hired [to look after the sheep] is not [like] the shepherd or the one who owns the sheep. So when he sees a wolf coming, he leaves the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock of sheep and [seizes one sheep and] causes [the others] to scatter.
Men den som lejder är, och icke är herden, hvilkom fåren icke tillhöra, ser ulfven komma, och öfvergifver fåren, och flyr; och ulfven bortrycker och förskingrar fåren.
13 The worker runs away because he is [only] a man whom someone has hired. He is not [really] concerned about [what happens to] the sheep [MET]. [Similarly, your religious teachers do not really care what happens to you].
Men den lejde flyr; ty han är lejd, och värdar intet om fåren.
14 I am [like] a good shepherd. [Just like a good shepherd knows his] sheep [MET], I know those who belong to me, and they know me
Jag är den gode herden, och känner min får, och min känna mig;
15 in the same way as [my] Father knows me and I know [my] Father. Furthermore, I am [ready to] sacrifice myself for [those who belong to me].
Såsom Fadren känner mig; och jag känner Fadren; och jag låter mitt lif för fåren.
16 And I have other people [who are not Jews] who [will some day] belong to me. They will be [like] [MET] sheep from another sheep pen. I must bring them [to God/myself] also. They will pay attention to what I say, and eventually [all those who belong to me] will be [like] one flock, and [I] will be [like] [MET] their one shepherd.
Jag hafver ock annor får, som icke äro af detta fårahuset; dem måste jag ock draga härtill, och de skola höra min röst; och det skall varda ett fårahus och en herde.
17 The reason [my] Father loves me is that I will sacrifice my life. But [after I do that], I will become alive again.
Fördenskull älskar Fadren mig, att jag låter mitt lif, på det jag skall åter tagat igen.
18 No one is causing me to die. Instead, I [have chosen to] sacrifice myself. I have authority to sacrifice myself and I have authority to become alive again. That is what my Father has commanded me to do.”
Ingen tager det af mig; men jag låter det af mig sjelf; jag hafver magt att låta det, och jag hafver magt taga det igen. Detta budet fick jag af minom Fader.
19 After hearing these words [that Jesus said], the Jews were divided again.
Då vardt åter en tvedrägt ibland Judarna, för detta talets skull.
20 Many of them said, “A demon is [controlling] him and has caused him to become crazy. (It is useless to listen to him!/Why should we listen to him?) [RHQ]”
Månge af dem sade: Han hafver djefvulen, och är ursinnig; hvi hören I honom?
21 But others said, “What he is saying is not something a man whom a demon is controlling would say. (No demon could enable a blind man to see [like he did!/] How could a demon enable a blind man to see [like he did]?) [RHQ]”
Somlige sade: Sådana ord äro icke dens mans, som djefvulen hafver; icke kan djefvulen öppna de blindas ögon.
22 Then it was time for the celebration [to remember when our ancestors] rededicated [the Temple in Jerusalem]. It was in winter.
Så vardt då i Jerusalem kyrkomessa; och det var vinter.
23 Jesus was in the Temple [courtyard], walking in [the place that people called King] Solomon’s porch.
Och Jesus gick i templena, i Salomos förhus.
24 The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] gathered around him and said, “How long will you keep us from knowing for sure [if you are the Messiah]? If you are the Messiah, tell us clearly!”
Då kringhvärfde Judarna honom, och sade till honom: Huru länge förhalar du med oss? Säg oss fri, om du äst Christus.
25 Jesus answered them, “I have told you [that I am the Messiah], but you do not believe me! You should know who I am because of the miracles I do with my Father’s authority [MTY].
Jesus svarade dem: Jag hafver sagt eder det, och I tron det icke; gerningarna, som jag gör i mins Faders Namn, de bära vittne om mig.
26 But instead, you do not believe in me because you do not belong to [me. You are like] [MET] sheep [who belong to a different shepherd].
Men I tron det icke; ty I ären icke af min får, såsom jag sade eder.
27 [Just like sheep] heed the voice [of their true shepherd] [MET], my [people pay attention to what I say]. I know them, and they have become my disciples.
Min får höra mina röst, och jag känner dem, och de följa mig;
29 [Those] that my Father has given to me are more precious than anything else (OR, My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than anything that opposes them). So no one can pull them away from belonging to him [MTY].
Min Fader, som mig dem gifvit hafver, är store än alle; och ingen kan rycka dem utaf mins Faders hand.
30 [My] father and I are equal.”
Jag och Fadren ärom ett.
31 The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] again picked up stones to throw at Jesus [and kill him because they were angry at his saying that he was equal with God].
Då togo åter Judarna stenar, till att stena honom.
32 But Jesus said to them, “You have seen me perform many miracles that my Father [told me to do. You should realize from seeing them that I am equal with God]. So, because of which of these miracles [IRO] are you wanting to [kill me by] throwing stones at me?”
Jesus svarade dem: Jag hafver många goda gerningar bevist eder af minom Fader; för hvilka af dem stenen I mig?
33 The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] replied, “We are [wanting to] throw stones at you not because you performed a great miracle. Instead, [we are wanting to do it] because you are dishonoring God. You are just a man, but you are saying that you are God!”
Judarna svarade honom, och sade: För god gernings skull stene vi dig icke, utan för hädelsens skull; och att du, som äst en menniska, gör dig sjelf till Gud.
34 Jesus replied to them, “In the Scriptures it is written {([someone/the Psalmist]) has written} [RHQ] [what God said to the rulers whom he had appointed], ‘I have said that you are [like] gods.’
Jesus svarade dem: Är icke skrifvet i edor lag: Jag sade, I ären gudar?
35 God said that [to those leaders when he appointed them. No one objected to that]. And nothing that is in Scripture can be set aside {no one can set aside anything that is in Scripture}.
Hafver han nu kallat dem gudar, till hvilka Guds ord skedde; och Skriften kan icke varda omintet;
36 But I am the one [my] Father set apart to completely belong to him. He sent me here into this world. So (why are you angry with me for saying that [I am equal with God when I say] that I am the man who is also God?/you should not be angry with me for saying that [I am equal with God when I say] that I am the person who is both God and man!) [RHQ]
Och I sägen dock till honom, som Fadren helgat hafver, och sändt i verldena: Du häder Gud; derföre, att jag säger: Jag är Guds Son?
37 If I were not doing the miracles that my Father [told me to do, I would not expect] you to believe in me.
Gör jag icke mins Faders gerningar, så tror mig intet.
38 But because I perform these miracles, believe [what] these miracles [show about me], even though you do not believe what I [say]. If you do that, then you will know and understand that [my] Father has a close relationship with me, and I have a close relationship with [my] Father.”
Men gör jag dem, tror då gerningomen, om I icke viljen tro mig; på det I skolen förstå, och tro, att Fadren är i mig, och jag i honom.
39 After they heard that, they tried to seize him again, but he got away from them.
Åter foro de efter att gripa honom; och han gick utu deras händer.
40 Then Jesus went, along [with us], back across [to the east side of] the Jordan [River]. We went to the place where John was previously baptizing [people]. He/We stayed there [for a few weeks].
Och drog åter bort på hinsidon Jordan, till det rummet der Johannes hade först döpt; och blef der.
41 Many people came to Jesus. They were saying, “John never performed a miracle, [but this man has performed many miracles]! Everything that John said about this man is true!”
Och månge kommo till honom, och sade: Johannes gjorde intet tecken; men allt det Johannes om denna sagt hafver, är sant.
42 Many people [who came] there believed ([that Jesus was the Messiah/that Jesus truly had come from God]).
Och trodde månge der på honom,
