Yohana 10
1 Amini, amini naabakiya, yolo ywajingya kwa petya nnango wa zizi lya ngondolo, lakini ywapanda kwa ndela yenge, mundu yoo ni mwii na nnyang'anyi.
“Most certainly, I tell you, one who doesn’t enter by the door into the sheep fold, but climbs up some other way, is a thief and a robber.
2 Ywembe ywajingii munnango ni ywabachunga wa ngondolo.
But one who enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 Kwa mlinzi wa nnango un'yongolya. Ngondolo kabaliyowa lilobe lyake ni kubakema ngondolo bake kwa maina yabe ni kuaboywa panja.
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 Palyo aaboywa panja abo babile bake, utama nnonge yabe, ni ngondolo unkengama, kwa sababu balitangite lilobe lyake.
Whenever he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
5 Bankengamile kwaa ageni lakini badala yake kabamwepuka, kwa kuwa balitangite kwaa lilobe lya ageni.”
They will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him; for they don’t know the voice of strangers.”
6 Yesu atibaya kwa mpwano woo kwabe, lakini bayatangite kwaa makowe aga yabile atikugabaya kwabe.
Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they didn’t understand what he was telling them.
7 Yesu kalongela nakwe kae, “Amini, amini, naamakiya, Nenga na nnango wa ngondolo.
Jesus therefore said to them again, “Most certainly, I tell you, I am the sheep’s door.
8 Boti bapitike nnonge yango babile anyang'anyi, lakini ngondolo kabayowine kwaa.
All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn’t listen to them.
9 Nenga na nnango. Yeyote ywajingya petya kwango, atilopolelwa; alowa jingya ndani ni kuboka, ni ywembe ywaipatia malisho.
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 Mwii aisi kwaa bila jiba, na kubulaga. Niisile ili kwamba bapate ukoto ni bawe nabo wanansima.
The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.
11 Nenga na mchungaji mwema. Mchunga mwema uuboywa ukoto wake kwa ajili ya ngondolo.
“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
12 Mmanda ywaajililwe, nga mchungaji kwaa, ywabile ngondolo nga mali yake kwaa, ugabona mabwaa mwitu kabaisa na hubaleka ni kubatila balo ngondolo.
He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who doesn’t own the sheep, sees the wolf coming, leaves the sheep, and flees. The wolf snatches the sheep and scatters them.
13 Na mabwaa mwitu ubataba ni kubatawanya. Utila kwa sababu ni mmanda wa ajililwa na abajali kwaa ngondolo.
The hired hand flees because he is a hired hand and doesn’t care for the sheep.
14 Nenga na mchungaji mwema, na niatangite babile wango, nabo babile wango wanitangite nenga.
I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and I’m known by my own;
15 Tate anitangite, ni nenga nintangite Tate, nenga nalowa kuuboywa ukoto wango kwa ajili ya ngondolo.
even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 Nabile ni ngondolo wenge wabile mulizizi lee. Balo pia, ipalikwa kubaleta, nabo balowa kuliyowa lilobe lyango ili kuwa kubile ni likundi limo na mchungaji yumo.
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 Ayee nga sababu Tate anipenda: Niuboywe ukoto wango alafu niutole kae.
Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
18 Ntopo ywautolae kuoma kwango, lakini nenga nauboywa mwene. Nibile na mamlaka ya kuuboywa, na nibile na mamlaka ya kuutola kae. Natilipokya liagano lee boka kwa Tate.”
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 Mgawanyiko kae uboka nkati ya Ayahudi kwa sababu ya maneno aga.
Therefore a division arose again among the Jews because of these words.
20 Benge babayite, “Abile ni nchela na abile ni uchizi. Kwa namani mwati kunyowanikiya?”
Many of them said, “He has a demon and is insane! Why do you listen to him?”
21 Benge babayite, “Aga ni mano kwaa ga mundu ywapagawile ni nchela. Nchela lyaweza kwaa yogoliya minyo ga ipofu?”
Others said, “These are not the sayings of one possessed by a demon. It isn’t possible for a demon to open the eyes of the blind, is it?”
22 Nga yabuya Sikukuu ya kuibeka wakfu Yerusalemu.
It was the Feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem.
23 Wabile muda wa mbepo, ni Yesu abile akityanga mu'lihekalu mu'ukumbi ba Selemani.
It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon’s porch.
24 Bayahudi kabamzunguka na kummakiya, “Mpaka lini alowa kutubeka mu'mashaka? Kati wenga ni Kristo, tubakiye wazi.
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 Yesu kanyangwa, “Niamakiye lakini muaminiye kwaa. Kazi nizipangite kwa lina lya Tate bango, zatikushuhudia nnani yango.
Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you don’t believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name, these testify about me.
26 Hata nyo muamini kwaa kwa mana mwenga mwa ngondolo wango kwaa.
But you don’t believe, because you are not of my sheep, as I told you.
27 Ngondolo wango baliyowa lilobe lyango; Naatanga, nabo banikengama nenga.
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
29 Tate bango, ywanipeile, abo, ni nkolo kuliko wenge wote, na ntopo hata yumo ywabile ni uwezo wa kubatola kuoma mumaboko ga Tate.
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 Nenga na Tate yumo kae.
I and the Father are one.”
31 Kabapotwa maliwe ili kumpondanga kae.
Therefore the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
32 Yesu kaayangwa, “Niabonekiya kazi yanansima inoite kuoma kwa Tate. Kwa kazi ipi nkati ya yake mwalowa kunikombwa ni maliwe?”
Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?”
33 Ayahudi kabanyangwa, “Twakukombwa kwaa ni maliwe kwa kazi yeyote inoite, lakini kwa kupulu, kwa mana wenga, wa mundu, uyipanga kuwa Nnongo.”
The Jews answered him, “We don’t stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God.”
34 Yesu kaayangwa, “Iandikilwe kwaa mu'saliya yinu,'Nibayite, “Mwenga mwa nnongo?”
Jesus answered them, “Isn’t it written in your law, ‘I said, you are gods’?
35 Mana itei abakemite nnongo. kwa balo babile ni Neno lya Nnongo latikuwaisilya(na maandiko gaweza kwaa tekwanika).
If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture can’t be broken),
36 Mwabaya nnani ya yolo ywabile Tate ywamboyile ni kuntuma mu'ulimwengu,'Wenda kupuru', Kwa sababu nibaite,'Nenga na mwana wa Nnongo?'
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 “Mana itei nipanga kwaa kazi ya Tate bango, muniaminiya kwaa.
If I don’t do the works of my Father, don’t believe me.
38 Hata nyo, mana itei niipanga, hata mana muniaminiya kwaa, muiaminiye kazi ili muweze kuitanga ni kuyowa kuwa Tate abile nkati yango ni nenga nibile nkati ya Tate.”
But if I do them, though you don’t believe me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.”
39 Kabajaribu kae kuntaba Yesu, lakini atiyenda boka mu'maboko gabe.
They sought again to seize him, and he went out of their hand.
40 Yesu kayenda zake kae nngambo ya Yordani pandu ambapo Yohana abile atikuabatiza kwanza, ni kutama kwoo.
He went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was baptizing at first, and he stayed there.
41 Bandu baingi kabaisa kwa Yesu. Batiyendelya kubaya, “Yohana apangite kwaa ishara yeyote, lakini makowe yote ayabayite Yohana nnani ya aywoo mundu nga ga kweli.”
Many came to him. They said, “John indeed did no sign, but everything that John said about this man is true.”
42 Bandu banyansima batikuwamini Yesu kae.
Many believed in him there.
