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.
"In most solemn truth I tell you that the man who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs over some other way, is a thief and a robber.
2 Ule na a pira kibulun amere unan libya nakame.
But he who enters by the door 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.
To him the porter opens the door, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by their names and leads them out.
4 Asa anutuno akame ndas vat, ama cinu nbun mine, akame dortoghe, bara na i yiru liwui me.
When he has brought out his own sheep--all of them--he walks at the head of them; and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
5 Na ima dofunu kumara ba, iba na cumghari bara na iyiru liwui kumara ba.”
But a stranger they will by no means follow, but will run away from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers."
6 Yesu wa belin nani to tinan tigolde, na iwa yinnin sa inyaghari adin bellu ba.
Jesus spoke to them in this figurative language, but they did not understand what He meant.
7 Yesu kuru aworo nani, “Kidegenere, nbelin minu, menghari kibulun nakame.
Again therefore Jesus said to them, "In most solemn truth I tell you that I am the Door of the sheep.
8 Vat na lenge na ina dak ameng dutu udak, akiriari nin na nan bolusu nimon, na akame ma lanzu nani ba.
All who have come before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep would not 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 Door. If any one enters by me, he will find safety, and will go in and out and find pasture.
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 and kill and destroy: I have come that they may have Life, and may have it in abundance.
11 Menghari unan libya ugegeme. Unan libya ugegeme asa ana ulai me bara akame.
"I am the Good Shepherd. A good shepherd lays down his very 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 hired servant--one who is not a shepherd and does not own the sheep--no sooner sees the wolf coming than he leaves the sheep and runs away; and the wolf worries and scatters them.
13 Ama cum asun akame na ama rissu anin ba, bara na ame unan katwa ndukkari.
For he is only a hired servant and cares nothing for the sheep.
14 Menghari unan libya ugegeme, in yiru ananing, ananighe yiruoi.
"I am the Good Shepherd. And I know my sheep and my sheep know me,
15 Ucife yirui, Meng wang yiro Ucife, Meng nani ulai ning bara akame.
just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I am laying 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 also other sheep--which do not belong to this fold. Those also I must bring, and they will listen to my voice; and they shall become one flock under one Shepherd.
17 Bara nanere nta Ucif di nin su ning, nna ni ulai ning nnan sere unin tutung.
For this reason my Father loves me, because I am laying down my life in order to receive it back 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 is taking it away from me, but I myself am laying it down. I am authorized to lay it down, and I am authorized to receive it back again. This is the command I received from my Father."
19 Iwa se ukosu nibinayi nanya na Yahudawa bara ubellu nliru une.
Again there arose a division among the Jews because of these words.
20 Among mine gbardang woro, “Adi nin kugbergenu ayita nin nilaza. Iyaghari nta idin lanzughe?”
Many of them said, "He is possessed by a demon and is mad. Why do you listen to him?"
21 Among mine woro, “Na ule ulire un nan nilazari ba. Kugbergenu wasa ku puno iyizi nduwa?”
Others argued, "That is not the language of a demoniac: and can a demon open blind men's eyes?"
22 Kubi nbukin wessu da in Urshalima.
The Dedication Festival came on in Jerusalem. It was winter,
23 Kubi linna wadi, Yesu yita ncin nanya kutii nlira kitin shizunun Solomon.
and Jesus was walking in the Temple in Solomon's Portico,
24 A Yahudawa kilighe, iworoghe, “Udiduru kome kubiari uma sunu nari nanya nkpilzu? Andi fere Kriste nuzu fang ubelin nari.”
when the Jews gathered round Him and kept asking Him, "How long do you mean to keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us so plainly."
25 Yesu kawa nani, Nna bellin minu na iyinna ba. Nitwa nanga na nsu nanya lissan Ncif ning, ilele nna ushaida litininghe.
"I have told you," answered Jesus, "and you do not believe. The deeds that I do in my Father's name--they give testimony about me.
26 Vat nani na iyinna ba bara na anung akam nighari ba.
But you do not believe, because you are not my sheep.
27 Akam nin din lanzu liwui ning; in yiru nani, inung din dortui.
My sheep listen to my voice, and 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.
What my Father has given me is more precious than all besides; and no one is able to wrest anything from my Father's hand.
30 Meng nin Cif ninghe, unit urumere.”
I and the Father are one."
31 A Yahudaw kuru iyauna atala iba filusughe.
Again the Jews brought stones with which to stone Him.
32 Yesu kawa aworo nani, “Ndurso minu imon igegeme gbardang Nnuzu kitin Cif. Nanya niyeme imonari iba filusui mung?”
Jesus remonstrated with them. "Many good deeds," He said, "have I shown you as coming from the Father; for which of them are you going to stone me?"
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.”
"For no good deed," the Jews replied, "are we going to stone you, but for blasphemy, and because you, who are only a man, are making yourself out to be God."
34 Yesu kawa nani aworo, “Na udi nanya niyertin nduka mine ba, 'Nworo, “anung atenlleari”'
"Does it not stand written in your Law," replied Jesus, "'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),
If those to whom God's word was addressed are called gods (and the Scripture cannot be annulled),
36 idin bellu nile na Ucif na kussu ato nanya nyii, 'Udin nanzu lissa Kutelle,' bara na nworo, Meng Usaun Kutelleari'?
how is it that you say to one whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am God's Son'?
37 Andi na ndin su nitwa Ncif ninghari ba, na iwa yinnin nin i ba.
If the deeds I do are not my Father's deeds, do not 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 they are, then even if you do not believe me, at least believe the deeds, that you may know and see clearly that the Father is in me, and that I am in the Father."
39 Ikuru imala ukifun Yesu ku tutung, a nyaghe sa upiru nacara mine.
This made them once more try to arrest Him, but He withdrew out of their power.
40 Yesu wa nya tutung udi kaffinu kurawan Urdun kiti kanga na Yuhana wa shintu anit ku nmyen nin cizunue; awdi so kikane.
Then He went away again to the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John had been baptizing at first; and there He stayed.
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.”
Large numbers of people also came to Him. Their report was, "John did not work any miracle, but all that John said about this Teacher was true."
42 Kitene nane, anit gbardang wa yinnin nin Yesu.
And many became believers in Him there.
