< Yochanan 10 >

1 “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.
“Le fa e le mang yo o ganang go tsena ka kgoro mo lesakeng la dinku, yo o tlolelang ka lokotswana, o tshwanetse tota a be a le legodu.
2 But one who enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
Gonne modisa o tsena ka kgoro.
3 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.
Motlhokomedi wa kgoro o a e mmulela, mme dinku di utlwa lentswe la gagwe jalo di tle kwa go ene; mme a bitse dinku tsa gagwe ka maina a di etelele pele di ya kwa ntle.
4 Whenever he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
O tsamaya kwa pele ga tsone; mme di mo sale morago, gonne di tlhaloganya lentswe la gagwe.
5 They will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him; for they don’t know the voice of strangers.”
Ga di kitla di sala moeng morago, mme di tlaa mo phatlalalela, gonne ga di itse lentswe la gagwe.”
6 Yeshua spoke this parable to them, but they didn’t understand what he was telling them.
Ba ba neng ba utlwa Jesu a dirisa setshwantsho se ba ne ba seka ba tlhaloganya se a se rayang.
7 Yeshua therefore said to them again, “Most certainly, I tell you, I am the sheep’s door.
Mme a se ba tlhalosetsa a re, “Ke nna Kgoro ya dinku.
8 All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn’t listen to them.
Botlhe ba bangwe ba ba tsileng pele ga me e ne e le magodu le dinokwane. Mme dinku tsa boammaaruri ga di ise di ke di ba reetse.
9 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.
Ee, ke nna Kgoro. Ba ba tsenang ka Kgoro ba tlaa bolokwa mme ba tlaa tsena ba bo ba tswa mme ba tlaa bona mafulo a matalana.
10 The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.
Maikaelelo a legodu ke go utswa, le go bolaya le go senya. Mme nna maikaelelo a me ke go aba botshelo jo bo sa khutleng ka letlotlo.
11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
“Ke Modisa yo o Molemo. Modisa yo o molemo o ntshetsa dinku botshelo jwa gagwe.
12 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.
Motho yo o thapilweng o tlaa sia a tlogela dinku fa a bona phiri e tla, gonne ga se tsa gagwe ebile ga se modisa wa tsone. Mme jalo phiri e di tlolele e phatlalatse letsomane.
13 The hired hand flees because he is a hired hand and doesn’t care for the sheep.
Motho yo o thapilweng o sia ka ntlha ya gore o thapilwe, le ka ntlha ya gore ga a kgathalele dinku thata.
14 I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and I’m known by my own;
“Ke Modisa yo o Molemo ebile ke itse dinku tsa me, le tsone di a nkitse.
15 even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.
Fela jaaka Rara a nkitse le nna ke itse Rara; jalo ke ntshetsa dinku botshelo jwa me.
16 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.
Ke na le dinku tse dingwe mo lesakeng le lengwe. Le tsone ke tshwanetse go di lere, mme di tlaa utlwa lentswe la me; jalo go tlaa nna letsomane le le lengwe ka fa tlase ga tlhokomelo ya Modisa a le mongwe fela.
17 Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
“Rara o a nthata gonne ke ntsha botshelo jwa me setlhabelo gore ke tle ke nne le jone gape.
18 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.”
Ga go na ope yo o ka mpolayang kwa ntle ga go rata ga me. Ke ntsha botshelo jwa me setlhabelo ka bonna. Gonne ke na le tshwanelo le nonofo ya go bo ntsha setlhabelo fa ke batla le tshwanelo le nonofo ya go bo tsaya gape. Gonne Rara o nneile tshwanelo e.”
19 Therefore a division arose again amongst the Judeans because of these words.
Erile fa a bua jaana, baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba kgaogana mo megopolong gape ka ga gagwe.
20 Many of them said, “He has a demon and is insane! Why do you listen to him?”
Bangwe ba bone ba re, “O na le mowa o o maswe eseng jalo o a tsenwa. Ke eng re reetsa motho yo o ntseng jalo?”
21 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?”
Ba bangwe ba re, “Mo go rona golo mo ga go utlwale go buiwa ke motho yo o tsenweng ke mowa o o maswe! A mowa o o maswe o ka foufolola matlho a difofu?”
22 It was the Feast of Hanukkah at Jerusalem.
Go ne go le mariga, fa Jesu a le mo Jerusalema ka lebaka lwa Moletlo wa Boshafatso. O ne a le kwa Tempeleng, a raletse golo fa go bidiwang Mathudi a ga Solomone.
23 It was winter, and Yeshua was walking in the temple, in Solomon’s porch.
24 The Judeans therefore came around him and said to him, “How long will you hold us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.”
Baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba mo dikgaganyetsa mme ba mmotsa ba re, “O tlaa re baya mo lefifing la bosena-kitso fitlhelela leng? Fa e le gore o Mesia re bolelele sentle.”
25 Yeshua answered them, “I told you, and you don’t believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name, these testify about me.
Mme Jesu a ba raya are, “Ke setse ke lo bole-letse, mme ga lo ntumele. Sesupo ke dikgakgamatso tse ke di dirang ka leina la ga Rara.
26 But you don’t believe, because you are not of my sheep, as I told you.
Mme ga lo ntumele gonne ga lo ba letsomane la me.
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
Dinku tsa me di itse lentswe la me, le nna ke a di itse, mme dintshala morago.
28 I give eternal life to them. They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
Ke di naya botshelo jo bo sa khutleng mme ga di kitla di nyelela. Ga gona ope yo o tlaa di phamolang mo go nna, (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
29 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.
gonne Rara o di nneile, mme o nonofile go feta mongwe le mongwe, jalo he ga go na ope yo o ka di utswang mo go nna.
30 I and the Father are one.”
Nna le Rara re selo se le sengwe.”
31 Therefore the Judeans took up stones again to stone him.
Mme gape baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba sela matlapa go mmolaya.
32 Yeshua answered them, “I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?”
Jesu a ba raya a re, “E fa kaelong ya Modimo ke dirile dikgakgamatso di le dintsi go thusa batho. Lo mpolaela kgakgamatso efe?”
33 The Judeans answered him, “We don’t stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God.”
Mme ba mo fetola ba re, “Ga re go balaele tiro epe e e siameng, re go bolaela tlhapatso; wena, mothonyana ke wena yo o seng wa sepe o ipiditse gore o Modimo.”
34 Yeshua answered them, “Isn’t it written in your law, ‘I said, you are gods’?
Mme a fetola a re, “Mo molaong wa lona gatwe batho ke medimo Jalo he, fa lokwalo, lo lo sa ka keng lwa bua maaka, lo bua ka gore medimo ke batho ba molaetsa wa Modimo o tsileng mo go bone, a lo go bitsa tlhapatso fa yo ene a itshepisitsweng a bile a romilwe mo lefatsheng ke Rara a re, ‘Ke Morwa Modimo?’
35 If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture can’t be broken),
36 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 If I don’t do the works of my Father, don’t believe me.
Se ntumeleng, fa e se fela ke dira dikgakgamatso tsa Modimo.
38 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.”
Mme fa ke di dira, di dumeleng lefa lo sa ntumele. Hong lo tlaa dumela tota gore Rara omo go nna, le gore ke mo go Rara.”
39 They sought again to seize him, and he went out of their hand.
Gape ba leka go mo tshwara. Mme a tsamaya a ba tlogela…
40 He went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where Yochanan was immersing at first, and he stayed there.
Mme a tlhatlogela kwa moseja ga Noka ya Jorodane go nna gaufile lefelo le Johane a neng a kolobeletsa mo go lone lwa ntlha.
41 Many came to him. They said, “Yochanan indeed did no sign, but everything that Yochanan said about this man is true.”
Mme ba le bantsi ba mo sala morago. Mme ba le bantsi ba mo sala morago. Mme ba dumaduma ba re, “Johane ga a ise a ke a dire dikgakgamatso, mme dipolelelopele tsa gagwe tsotlhe kaga monna yo di diragetse,”
42 Many believed in him there.
Hong ba le bantsi ba dumela gore ke Mesia.
