يوحنَّا 10

١ 1 «الْحَقَّ الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ مَنْ يَدْخُلُ إِلَى حَظِيرَةِ الْخِرَافِ مِنْ غَيْرِ بَابِهَا فَيَتَسَلَّقُ إِلَيْهَا مِنْ طَرِيقٍ آخَرَ، هُوَ سَارِقٌ وَلِصٌّ.

“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.

٢ 2 أَمَّا الَّذِي يَدْخُلُ مِنَ الْبَابِ فَهُوَ رَاعِي الْخِرَافِ،

But one who enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

٣ 3 وَالْبَوَّابُ يَفْتَحُ لَهُ، وَالْخِرَافُ تُصْغِي إِلَى صَوْتِهِ، فَيُنَادِي خِرَافَهُ الْخَاصَّةَ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ بِاسْمِهِ، وَيَقُودُهَا إِلَى خَارِجِ الْحَظِيرَةِ.

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.

٤ 4 وَمَتَى أَخْرَجَهَا كُلَّهَا، يَسِيرُ أَمَامَهَا وَهِيَ تَتْبَعُهُ، لأَنَّهَا تَعْرِفُ صَوْتَهُ.

Whenever he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.

٥ 5 وَهِيَ لَا تَتْبَعُ مَنْ كَانَ غَرِيباً، بَلْ تَهْرُبُ مِنْهُ، لأَنَّهَا لَا تَعْرِفُ صَوْتَ الْغُرَبَاءِ».

They will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him; for they don’t know the voice of strangers.”

٦ 6 ضَرَبَ يَسُوعُ لَهُمْ هَذَا الْمَثَلَ، وَلكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَفْهَمُوا مَغْزَى كَلامِهِ.

Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they didn’t understand what he was telling them.

٧ 7 لِذلِكَ عَادَ فَقَالَ: «الْحَقَّ الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: أَنَا بَابُ الْخِرَافِ.

Jesus therefore said to them again, “Most certainly, I tell you, I am the sheep’s door.

٨ 8 جَمِيعُ الَّذِينَ جَاءُوا قَبْلِي كَانُوا لُصُوصاً وَسُرَّاقاً، وَلكِنَّ الْخِرَافَ لَمْ تُصْغِ إِلَيْهِمْ.

All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn’t listen to them.

٩ 9 أَنَا الْبَابُ. مَنْ دَخَلَ بِي يَخْلُصْ، فَيَدْخُلُ وَيَخْرُجُ وَيَجِدُ الْمَرْعَى.

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.

١٠ 10 السَّارِقُ لَا يَأْتِي إِلّا لِيَسْرِقَ وَيَذْبَحَ وَيُهْلِكَ. أَمَّا أَنَا فَقَدْ أَتَيْتُ لِتَكُونَ لَهُمْ حَيَاةٌ، بَلْ مِلْءُ الْحَيَاةِ!

The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.

١١ 11 أَنَا الرَّاعِي الصَّالِحُ، وَالرَّاعِي الصَّالِحُ يَبْذِلُ حَيَاتَهُ فِدَى خِرَافِهِ.

“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

١٢ 12 وَلَيْسَ الأَجِيرُ كَالرَّاعِي، لأَنَّ الْخِرَافَ لَيْسَتْ مِلْكَهُ. فَعِنْدَمَا يَرَى الذِّئْبَ قَادِماً، يَتْرُكُ الْخِرَافَ لِيَنْجُوَ بِنَفْسِهِ، فَيَخْطَفُ الذِّئْبُ الْخِرَافَ وَيُبَدِّدُهَا.

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.

١٣ 13 إِنَّهُ يَهْرُبُ لأَنَّهُ أَجِيرٌ وَلا يُبَالِي بِالْخِرَافِ!

The hired hand flees because he is a hired hand and doesn’t care for the sheep.

١٤ 14 أَمَّا أَنَا فَإِنِّي الرَّاعِي الصَّالِحُ، وَأَعْرِفُ خِرَافِي، وَخِرَافِي تَعْرِفُنِي،

I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and I’m known by my own;

١٥ 15 مِثْلَمَا يَعْرِفُنِي الآبُ وَأَنَا أَعْرِفُهُ. وَأَنَا أَبْذِلُ حَيَاتِي فِدَى خِرَافِي.

even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.

١٦ 16 وَلِي خِرَافٌ أُخْرَى لَا تَنْتَمِي إِلَى هذِهِ الْحَظِيرَةِ، لابُدَّ أَنْ أَجْمَعَهَا إِلَيَّ أَيْضاً، وَتُصْغِيَ لِصَوْتِي؛ فَيَكُونَ هُنَاكَ قَطِيعٌ وَاحِدٌ وَرَاعٍ وَاحِدٌ.

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.

١٧ 17 إِنَّ الآبَ يُحِبُّنِي لأَنِّي أَبْذِلُ حَيَاتِي لِكَيْ أَسْتَرِدَّهَا.

Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.

١٨ 18 لَا أَحَدَ يَنْتَزِعُ حَيَاتِي مِنِّي، بَلْ أَنَا أَبْذِلُهَا بِاخْتِيَارِي. فَلِي السُّلْطَةُ أَنْ أَبْذِلَهَا وَلِيَ السُّلْطَةُ أَنْ أَسْتَرِدَّهَا. هذِهِ الْوَصِيَّةُ تَلَقَّيْتُهَا مِنْ أَبِي».

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.”

١٩ 19 فَانْقَسَمَ الْيَهُودُ فِي الرَّأْيِ حَوْلَ هَذَا الْكَلامِ.

Therefore a division arose again among the Jews because of these words.

٢٠ 20 فَقَالَ كَثِيرُونَ مِنْهُمْ: «إِنَّ شَيْطَاناً يَسْكُنُهُ، وَهُوَ يَهْذِي. فَلِمَاذَا تَسْتَمِعُونَ إِلَيْهِ؟»

Many of them said, “He has a demon and is insane! Why do you listen to him?”

٢١ 21 وَقَالَ آخَرُونَ: «لَيْسَ هَذَا كَلامَ مَنْ يَسْكُنُهُ شَيْطَانٌ. أَيَسْتَطِيعُ الشَّيْطَانُ أَنْ يَفْتَحَ عُيُونَ الْعُمْيَانِ؟»

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?”

٢٢ 22 وَفِي أَثْنَاءِ الاِحْتِفَالِ بِعِيدِ تَجْدِيدِ الْهَيْكَلِ، فِي الشِّتَاءِ،

It was the Feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem.

٢٣ 23 كَانَ يَسُوعُ يَتَمَشَّى فِي الْهَيْكَلِ فِي قَاعَةِ سُلَيْمَانَ.

It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon’s porch.

٢٤ 24 فَتَجَمَّعَ حَوْلَهُ الْيَهُودُ وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «حَتَّى مَتَى تُبْقِينَا حَائِرِينَ بِشَأْنِكَ؟ إِنْ كُنْتَ أَنْتَ الْمَسِيحَ حَقّاً، فَقُلْ لَنَا صَرَاحَةً».

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.”

٢٥ 25 فَأَجَابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «قُلْتُ لَكُمْ، وَلكِنَّكُمْ لَا تُصَدِّقُونَ. وَالأَعْمَالُ الَّتِي أَعْمَلُهَا بِاسْمِ أَبِي، هِيَ تَشْهَدُ لِي.

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.

٢٦ 26 وَلكِنَّكُمْ لَا تُصَدِّقُونَ لأَنَّكُمْ لَسْتُمْ خِرَافِي.

But you don’t believe, because you are not of my sheep, as I told you.

٢٧ 27 فَخِرَافِي تُصْغِي لِصَوْتِي، وَأَنَا أَعْرِفُهَا وَهِيَ تَتْبَعُنِي،

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.

٢٨ 28 وَأُعْطِيهَا حَيَاةً أَبَدِيَّةً، فَلا تَهْلِكُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَلا يَنْتَزِعُهَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ يَدِي. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)

I give eternal life to them. They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)

٢٩ 29 إِنَّ الآبَ الَّذِي أَعْطَانِي إِيَّاهَا هُوَ أَعْظَمُ مِنَ الْجَمِيعِ، وَلا يَقْدِرُ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَنْتَزِعَ مِنْ يَدِ الآبِ شَيْئاً.

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.

٣٠ 30 أَنَا وَالآبُ وَاحِدٌ!»

I and the Father are one.”

٣١ 31 فَرَفَعَ الْيَهُودُ، مَرَّةً ثَانِيَةً، حِجَارَةً لِيَرْجُمُوهُ.

Therefore the Jews took up stones again to stone him.

٣٢ 32 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أَرَيْتُكُمْ أَعْمَالاً صَالِحَةً كَثِيرَةً مِنْ عِنْدِ أَبِي، فَبِسَبَبِ أَيِّ عَمَلٍ مِنْهَا تَرْجُمُونَنِي؟»

Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?”

٣٣ 33 أَجَابُوهُ: «لا نَرْجُمُكَ بِسَبَبِ أَيِّ عَمَلٍ صَالِحٍ، بَلْ بِسَبَبِ تَجْدِيفِكَ: لأَنَّكَ تَجْعَلُ نَفْسَكَ اللهَ، وَأَنْتَ إِنْسَانٌ!»

The Jews answered him, “We don’t stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God.”

٣٤ 34 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أَلَيْسَ مَكْتُوباً فِي شَرِيعَتِكُمْ: أَنَا قُلْتُ إِنَّكُمْ آلِهَةٌ؟

Jesus answered them, “Isn’t it written in your law, ‘I said, you are gods’?

٣٥ 35 فَإِذَا كَانَتِ الشَّرِيعَةُ تَدْعُو أُولئِكَ الَّذِينَ نَزَلَتْ إِلَيْهِمْ كَلِمَةُ اللهِ آلِهَةً وَالْكِتَابُ لَا يُمْكِنُ أَنْ يُنْقَضَ

If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture can’t be broken),

٣٦ 36 فَهَلْ تَقُولُونَ لِمَنْ قَدَّسَهُ الآبُ وَبَعَثَهُ إِلَى الْعَالَمِ: أَنْتَ تُجَدِّفُ، لأَنِّي قُلْتُ: أَنَا ابْنُ اللهِ؟

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’?

٣٧ 37 إِنْ كُنْتُ لَا أَعْمَلُ أَعْمَالَ أَبِي، فَلا تُصَدِّقُونِي.

If I don’t do the works of my Father, don’t believe me.

٣٨ 38 أَمَّا إِنْ كُنْتُ أَفْعَلُ ذلِكَ، فَصَدِّقُوا تِلْكَ الأَعْمَالَ، إِنْ كُنْتُمْ لَا تُصَدِّقُونَنِي أَنَا. عِنْدَئِذٍ تَعْرِفُونَ وَيَتَأَكَّدُ لَكُمْ أَنَّ الآبَ فِيَّ وَأَنَا فِيهِ».

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.”

٣٩ 39 فَأَرَادُوا ثَانِيَةً أَنْ يُلْقُوا الْقَبْضَ عَلَيْهِ، وَلَكِنَّهُ أَفْلَتَ مِنْ أَيْدِيهِمْ،

They sought again to seize him, and he went out of their hand.

٤٠ 40 وَرَجَعَ إِلَى الضَّفَّةِ الْمُقَابِلَةِ مِنْ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ، حَيْثُ كَانَ يُوحَنَّا يُعَمِّدُ مِنْ قَبْلُ، وَأَقَامَ هُنَاكَ.

He went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was baptizing at first, and he stayed there.

٤١ 41 فَجَاءَ إِلَيْهِ كَثِيرُونَ وَهُمْ يَقُولُونَ: «مَا عَمِلَ يُوحَنَّا آيَةً وَاحِدَةً، وَلكِنَّ كُلَّ مَا قَالَهُ عَنْ هَذَا الرَّجُلِ كَانَ حَقّاً!»

Many came to him. They said, “John indeed did no sign, but everything that John said about this man is true.”

٤٢ 42 وَآمَنَ بِهِ كَثِيرُونَ هُنَاكَ.

Many believed in him there.
