Jāņa Evaņg̒elijs 10
1 Patiesi, patiesi, Es jums saku: kas neieiet pa durvīm avju kūtī, bet kāpj citur kur iekšā, tas ir zaglis un slepkava.
In truth I tell you, whoever does not go into the sheepfold through the door, but climbs up at some other place, that person is a thief and a robber;
2 Bet kas ieiet pa durvīm, tas ir tas avju gans.
but the person who goes in through the door is shepherd to the sheep.
3 Tam tas durvju sargs atver, un tās avis klausa viņa balsi, un viņš savas avis sauc pie vārda un tās izved.
For him the watchman opens the door; and the sheep listen to his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out.
4 Un kad viņš savas avis izlaidis, tad tas iet viņu priekšā; un tās avis tam iet pakaļ, jo tās viņa balsi pazīst.
When he has brought them all out, he walks in front of them, and his sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
5 Bet svešam tās neiet pakaļ, bet bēg no tā, jo tās tā svešā balsi nepazīst.”
They will not follow a stranger, but will run away from him; because they do not know a stranger’s voice.’
6 Šo līdzību Jēzus uz tiem sacīja; bet tie nesaprata, kas tas bija, ko Viņš uz tiem runāja.
This was the allegory that Jesus told them, but they did not understand of what he was speaking.
7 Tad Jēzus atkal uz tiem sacīja: “Patiesi, patiesi, Es jums saku: Es esmu tās durvis pie tām avīm.
So he continued, ‘In truth I tell you, I am the door for the sheep.
8 Visi, kas priekš Manis nākuši, tie bijuši zagļi un slepkavas, bet tās avis tiem nav klausījušas.
All who came before me were thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not listen to them.
9 Es esmu tās durvis; ja kas caur Mani ieiet, tas taps svēts, un tas ieies un izies un atradīs ganības.
I am the door; he who goes in through me will be safe, and he will go in and out and find pasture.
10 Zaglis nenāk kā vien gribēdams zagt, žņaugt un nokaut; Es esmu nācis, ka tiem būtu dzīvība un viss papilnam.
The thief comes only to steal, to kill, and to destroy; I have come so that they may have life, and may have it in greater fullness.
11 Es esmu tas labais gans: labais gans dod Savu dvēseli par tām avīm.
I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for his sheep.
12 Bet derēts gans, kas nav īstais gans, kam tās avis nepieder, redz vilku nākam un tās avis atstāj un bēg, un vilks tās sakampj un izklīdina.
The hired man who is not a shepherd, and who does not own the sheep, when he sees a wolf coming, leaves them and runs away; then the wolf seizes them, and scatters the flock.
13 Bet tas derētais gans bēg, tāpēc ka viņš derēts, un nebēdā par tām avīm.
He does this because he is only a hired man and does not care about the sheep.
14 Es esmu tas labais gans un pazīstu Savas avis, un tās Mani pazīst.
I am the good shepherd; and I know my sheep, and my sheep know me –
15 Itin kā Mani Tas Tēvs pazīst, tāpat arī Es To Tēvu pazīstu; un Es dodu Savu dzīvību par tām avīm.
Just as the Father knows me and I know the Father – and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 Man arī vēl citas avis, tās nav no šīs kūts. Arī tās Man būs atvest; un tās dzirdēs Manu balsi, un būs viens pats ganāmpulks, viens pats gans.
I have other sheep besides, which do not belong to this fold; I must lead them also, and they will listen to my voice; and they will become one flock under one shepherd.
17 Tāpēc Tas Tēvs Mani mīl, kā Es Savu dzīvību dodu, lai Es to atkal ņemu.
This is why the Father loves me, because I lay down my life – to receive it again.
18 Neviens to neņem no Manis, bet Es to dodu no Sevis. Man ir vara, to dot, un Man ir vara, to atkal ņemt. Šo likumu Es esmu dabūjis no Sava Tēva.”
No one took it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to receive it again. This is the command which I received from my Father.’
19 Tad atkal šķelšanās cēlās starp tiem Jūdiem šo vārdu dēļ.
In consequence of these words a difference of opinion again arose among the people.
20 Jo daudz no tiem sacīja: “Viņam ir velns un Viņš ir traks; ko jūs Viņu klausāt?”
Many of them said, ‘He is possessed by a demon and is mad; why do you listen to him?’
21 Citi sacīja: “Šie vārdi nav velna apsēsta vārdi; vai velns akliem acis var atdarīt?”
Others said, ‘This is not the teaching of one who is possessed by a demon. Can a demon give sight to the blind?’
22 Un Jeruzālemē bija Dieva nama iesvētīšanas svētki, un bija ziema.
Soon after this the Festival of the Rededication was held at Jerusalem.
23 Un Jēzus staigāja Dieva namā, Salamana priekšnamā.
It was winter; and Jesus was walking in the Temple Courts, in the Colonnade of Solomon,
24 Tad tie Jūdi Viņu apstāja un uz Viņu sacīja: “Cik ilgi Tu mūsu dvēseles kavē? Ja Tu esi Kristus, tad saki mums to skaidri.”
when the people gathered round him, and said, ‘How long are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us so frankly.’
25 Jēzus tiem atbildēja: “Es jums to esmu sacījis, un jūs neticat. Tie darbi, ko Es daru Sava Tēva vārdā, šie dod liecību par Mani.
‘I have told you so,’ replied Jesus, ‘and you do not believe me. The work that I am doing in my Father’s name bears testimony to me.
26 Bet jūs neticat, jo jūs neesat no Manām avīm, kā Es jums esmu sacījis.
But you do not believe me, because you are not of my flock.
27 Manas avis Manu balsi klausa, un Es tās pazīstu, un tās Man iet pakaļ.
My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me;
29 Mans Tēvs, kas Man tās devis, ir lielāks pār visiem, un neviens tās nevar izraut no Mana Tēva rokas.
What my Father has entrusted to me is more than all else; and no one can snatch anything out of the Father’s hands.
30 Es un Tas Tēvs, mēs esam viens.”
The Father and I are one.’
31 Tad tie Jūdi atkal pacēla akmeņus, Viņu nomētāt.
Some of the people again brought stones to throw at him;
32 Jēzus tiem atbildēja: “Daudz labus darbus Es jums esmu rādījis no Sava Tēva; kura darba dēļ jūs Mani mētājiet ar akmeņiem?”
and seeing this, Jesus said, ‘I have done before your eyes many good actions, inspired by the Father; for which of them would you stone me?’
33 Tie Jūdi Viņam atbildēja un sacīja: “Laba darba dēļ mēs Tevi nemētājam, bet zaimošanas dēļ un ka Tu cilvēks būdams pats Sevi dari par Dievu.”
‘It is not for any good action that we would stone you,’ they answered, ‘but for blasphemy; and because you, who are only a man, make yourself out to be God.’
34 Jēzus tiem atbildēja: “Vai jūsu bauslībā nav rakstīts: Es esmu sacījis, jūs esat dievi;
‘Are there not,’ replied Jesus, ‘these words in your Law – “I said, You are gods”?
35 Kad tā nu tos sauca par dieviem, uz kuriem Dieva vārds ir noticis, un to rakstu nevar atmest,
If those to whom God’s word were addressed were said to be “gods” – and scripture cannot be set aside –
36 Ko tad jūs sakāt uz Mani, ko Tas Tēvs svētījis un pasaulē sūtījis: Tu Dievu zaimo; tāpēc ka Es esmu sacījis: Es esmu Dieva Dēls?
do you say of one whom the Father has consecrated and sent as his messenger to the world “You are blaspheming,” because I said “I am God’s Son”?
37 Ja Es Sava Tēva darbus nedaru, tad neticiet Man.
If I am not doing the work that my Father is doing, do not believe me;
38 Bet ja Es tos daru, tad, ja nu neticat Man, tad ticat jel tiem darbiem, lai jūs atzīstat un ticat, ka Tas Tēvs ir iekš Manis, un Es iekš Viņa.”
if I am doing it, even though you do not believe me, believe what that work shows; so that you may understand, and understand more and more clearly, that the Father is in union with me, and I with the Father.’
39 Tad tie atkal Viņu meklēja gūstīt, bet Viņš izgāja no viņu rokām.
The authorities again sought to arrest him; but he escaped their hands.
40 Un Viņš atkal cēlās pāri Jardānai uz to vietu, kur Jānis iesākumā kristīja, un palika tur.
Then Jesus again crossed the Jordan to the place where John used to baptize at first, and stayed there some time, during which many people came to see him.
41 Un daudz pie Viņa nāca un sacīja: “Jebšu Jānis nav darījis nevienas brīnuma zīmes, tomēr viss, ko Jānis par Šo sacījis, tas ir tiesa.”
‘John gave no sign of his mission,’ they said. ‘But everything that he said about this man was true.’
42 Un daudzi tur ticēja uz Viņu.
And many learned to believe in Jesus there.
