Yuhana 10
1 “Kidegenere, Nbelin minu, ulenge na apira nanya nshing ligo nakame na libo kibulun ba, asa a kala udanga a pira, unit une ukiriari nin nan bolsu nimon.
“I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn't come in through the gate of the sheepfold but climbs in some other way is a thief and a robber.
2 Ule na a pira kibulun amere unan libya nakame.
The one who comes in through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 Ame unan ca ma punghe kibulun. Akame ma lanzu liwui me, ama yicu akame nin tissa mine a nutun nani udu udas.
The gatekeeper opens it for him, and the sheep respond to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out.
4 Asa anutuno akame ndas vat, ama cinu nbun mine, akame dortoghe, bara na i yiru liwui me.
After bringing them out, he walks ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they recognize his voice.
5 Na ima dofunu kumara ba, iba na cumghari bara na iyiru liwui kumara ba.”
They won't follow strangers. In fact they run away from a stranger because they don't recognize the voice of strangers.”
6 Yesu wa belin nani to tinan tigolde, na iwa yinnin sa inyaghari adin bellu ba.
When Jesus gave this illustration those who were listening to him didn't understand what he meant.
7 Yesu kuru aworo nani, “Kidegenere, nbelin minu, menghari kibulun nakame.
So Jesus explained again, “I tell you the truth: I am the gate of the sheepfold.
8 Vat na lenge na ina dak ameng dutu udak, akiriari nin na nan bolusu nimon, na akame ma lanzu nani ba.
All those who came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn't listen to them.
9 Menghari kibulunghe. Asa ko uyeme unit npira unuzu ning, ama se utucu; ama pira anuzu ama se kiti kileo.
I am the gate. Anyone who comes in through me will be healed. They will be able to come and go, and find the food they need.
10 Na ukiri din dak ba se asu likiri, amolu, anin nanza. Meng na dak ina se ulai ise unin gbardang kang.
The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy. I've come to bring you life, life full to overflowing.
11 Menghari unan libya ugegeme. Unan libya ugegeme asa ana ulai me bara akame.
I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
12 Ame unan libya nduk, na unan nakam ba, na amere unan nakame ba, awa yene kinyinyo ucin dak ama sunu akame a cum awulu. Kiyinyo ma yiru a wulttun ani.
The man paid to look after the sheep is not the shepherd and he runs away when he sees the wolf coming. He abandons the sheep because they're not his, and the wolf attacks and scatters the flock
13 Ama cum asun akame na ama rissu anin ba, bara na ame unan katwa ndukkari.
for the man is only working for pay and doesn't care about the sheep.
14 Menghari unan libya ugegeme, in yiru ananing, ananighe yiruoi.
I am the good shepherd. I know who are mine, and they know me,
15 Ucife yirui, Meng wang yiro Ucife, Meng nani ulai ning bara akame.
just as the Father knows me and I know him. I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 Ndi nin na mong akama alenge na adi an longo ligowe ba. Anin wang, nma dak mun gbas, ima lanzu liwui nighe iso ligo lirum unan libyawe wasamme.
I have other sheep that are not in this sheepfold. I must bring them too. They will listen to my voice and there will be one flock with one shepherd.
17 Bara nanere nta Ucif di nin su ning, nna ni ulai ning nnan sere unin tutung.
This is why the Father loves me, because I lay down my life so I may take it up again.
18 Na umong ma seru unin kiti nin ba, Menghari na ceo unin usan ning. Ndi nin likara nciu nnin, in yita nin likara in yirun nin. Nna seru ulenge uduke kitin Ncif ningari.”
No one takes it from me; I choose to lay it down. I have the right to give it up, and I have the right to take it back. This is the command my Father gave me.”
19 Iwa se ukosu nibinayi nanya na Yahudawa bara ubellu nliru une.
The Jews were again divided in their opinion about Jesus over these words.
20 Among mine gbardang woro, “Adi nin kugbergenu ayita nin nilaza. Iyaghari nta idin lanzughe?”
Many of them said, “He's demon-possessed! He's mad! Why are you listening to him?”
21 Among mine woro, “Na ule ulire un nan nilazari ba. Kugbergenu wasa ku puno iyizi nduwa?”
Others said, “These aren't the words of someone who's demon-possessed. Besides, a demon can't open eyes that are blind.”
22 Kubi nbukin wessu da in Urshalima.
It was winter, and the time of the Festival of Dedication in Jerusalem.
23 Kubi linna wadi, Yesu yita ncin nanya kutii nlira kitin shizunun Solomon.
Jesus was walking in the Temple through Solomon's porch. The Jews surrounded him, asking,
24 A Yahudawa kilighe, iworoghe, “Udiduru kome kubiari uma sunu nari nanya nkpilzu? Andi fere Kriste nuzu fang ubelin nari.”
“How long are you going to keep us hanging in suspense? If you are the Messiah then tell us plainly!”
25 Yesu kawa nani, Nna bellin minu na iyinna ba. Nitwa nanga na nsu nanya lissan Ncif ning, ilele nna ushaida litininghe.
Jesus replied, “I already told you but you refuse to believe it. The miracles I do in my Father's name prove who I am.
26 Vat nani na iyinna ba bara na anung akam nighari ba.
You don't believe me because you are not my sheep.
27 Akam nin din lanzu liwui ning; in yiru nani, inung din dortui.
My sheep recognize my voice; I know them, and they follow me.
29 Ucif nighe, na ana nii inung, akatin koghaku vat nin likara, na umong wasa a bolo nani nacara Ncif ba.
My Father who gave them to me is greater than anyone else; no one can snatch them from him.
30 Meng nin Cif ninghe, unit urumere.”
I and the Father are one.”
31 A Yahudaw kuru iyauna atala iba filusughe.
Once again the Jews picked up stones to stone him.
32 Yesu kawa aworo nani, “Ndurso minu imon igegeme gbardang Nnuzu kitin Cif. Nanya niyeme imonari iba filusui mung?”
Jesus said to them, “You've seen many good deeds that I've done from the Father. Which one are you stoning me for?”
33 A Yahudawe kawaghe iworo, na tiba filusu fi kitenen kan katwa ka gegeme ba, tiba filusufi kitenen nanzu lissa Kutelle na udinsu, bara fewe, unitari, umini din pilu litife nafo Kutelle.”
The Jews replied, “We're not stoning you for a good deed, but for blasphemy because you are just a man but you're claiming to be God.”
34 Yesu kawa nani aworo, “Na udi nanya niyertin nduka mine ba, 'Nworo, “anung atenlleari”'
Jesus answered them, “Isn't it written in your law, ‘I said, you are gods’?
35 Asa ayicila nani atenle, kiti na lenge na uliru Kutelle na dak kiti mine (ana uliru Kutelle iwasa ikoso uni ba),
He called those people ‘gods,’ the people to whom the word of God came—and Scripture can't be altered.
36 idin bellu nile na Ucif na kussu ato nanya nyii, 'Udin nanzu lissa Kutelle,' bara na nworo, Meng Usaun Kutelleari'?
So why are you saying the one whom the Father set apart and sent into the world is blaspheming because I said ‘I am the Son of God’?
37 Andi na ndin su nitwa Ncif ninghari ba, na iwa yinnin nin i ba.
If I'm not doing what my Father does, then don't believe me.
38 Vat nani, ndi su nining, andi ma na iyinna nin mi ba, yinna nin nitwawe bara inan yiro iyinno Ucife nanya nmi ameng nanya Ncif.”
But if that is what I'm doing, even though you don't believe me, you should believe because of the evidence of what I've done. That way you can know and understand that the Father is in me, and I am in the Father.”
39 Ikuru imala ukifun Yesu ku tutung, a nyaghe sa upiru nacara mine.
Once again they tried to arrest him, but he escaped from them.
40 Yesu wa nya tutung udi kaffinu kurawan Urdun kiti kanga na Yuhana wa shintu anit ku nmyen nin cizunue; awdi so kikane.
He went back across the Jordan River to the place where John had begun baptizing, and he stayed there.
41 Anit gbardang wa dak kitin Yesu. Iso nbellu, “Na Yohana wa durso nkan katwa in yenu ba, vat nimon ilenge na Yuhana wa bellu litin Nnit ulele kidegenere.”
Many people came to him, and they said, “John didn't perform miracles, but everything he said about this man has come true.”
42 Kitene nane, anit gbardang wa yinnin nin Yesu.
Many who were there put their trust in Jesus.
