Johan 10
1 “Nangmih taengah rhep rhep kan thui, thohka lamloh tu vongup khuila kun pawt tih a hloeh la aka yoeng tah hlanghuen neh dingca ni.
“Most certainly, I tell you, one who does not enter by the door into the sheep fold, but climbs up some other way, is a thief and a robber.
2 Tedae tu kah tudawn la aka om tah thohka longah kun.
But one who enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 Anih te imtawt loh thohka a ong pah tih tu loh a ol te a yaak. Amah kah tu te khaw a ming neh a khue tih a mawt.
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.
4 Amah kah te boeih a hlah vaengah a hmaiah cet tih tu rhoek loh a ol te a hmat uh dongah anih te a vai uh.
Whenever he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
5 Tedae hlanglang tah vai uh loengloeng pawt vetih hlanglang kah ol te a hmat uh pawt dongah anih taeng lamloh rhaelrham uh ni,” a ti nah.
They will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him; for they do not know the voice of strangers.”
6 Hekah thuidoeknah he amih taengah Jesuh loh a thui dae amih taengah a thui te metla a om khaw tekah rhoek loh ming uh pawh.
Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they did not understand what he was telling them.
7 Te donagah Jesuh loh, “Nangmih taengah rhep rhep kan thui, Kai tah tu thohka la ka om.
Jesus therefore said to them again, “Most certainly, I tell you, I am the sheep’s door.
8 Kai hmaikah aka pawk boeih tah hlanghuen neh dingca rhoek ni. Tedae tu loh amih ol te a hnatun moenih.
All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.
9 Kai tah thohka la ka om, u khaw kai lamloh a kun atah daem vetih a voei a bal ah rhamtlim a hmuh ni.
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.
10 Hlanghuen tah huen ham, ngawn ham neh poci sak ham pawt atah ha pawk moenih. Kai tah hingnah a khueh uh phoeiah a puehsoi dang sak ham ka pawk.
The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.
11 Kai tah tudawn then la ka om. Tudawn then loh a hinglu te tu rhoek ham a hmoel.
“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
12 Kutloh tah tudawn lam khaw om pawh. A tu khaw amah kah om pawh. Uithang ha pawk te a hmuh vaengah tu a hno tih a rhaelrham tak dongah uithang loh a poelyoe tih a thaek.
He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming, leaves the sheep, and flees. The wolf snatches the sheep and scatters them.
13 Kutloh la a om dongah tu ham anih a ngaihuet pawh.
The hired hand flees because he is a hired hand and does not care for the sheep.
14 Kai tah tudawn then la ka om dongah kamah kah rhoek te ka ming tih kamah kah rhoek loh kai m'ming uh.
I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and I am known by my own;
15 Pa loh kai m'ming tih kai loh pa te ka ming vanbangla ka hinglu te khaw tu rhoek ham ka hmoel.
even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 Tedae hekah vongup ah aka om mueh tu a tloe rhoek te ka khueh pueng. Amih khaw ka khue ham a kuek. Te vaengah kai ol te a yaak uh vetih tuping pakhat, tudawn pakhat la om uh ni.
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.
17 Kai loh ka hinglu te koep dang ham ka voeih dongah pa loh kai n'lungnah.
Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
18 Kai lamkah hingnah te a rhawt uh thai moenih. Tedae te te kai kamah lamkah ni ka voeih. Te te voeih ham saithainah ka khueh tih koep lat ham khaw saithainah ka khueh. Hekah olpaek he a pa taeng lamkah ka dang,” koep a ti nah.
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.”
19 Hekah olka kongah Judah rhoek khuiah paekboenah koep om.
Therefore a division arose again among the Jews because of these words.
20 Te dongah amih khuikah a kumngai loh, “Rhaithae a kaem tih ang coeng, balae tih anih ol na hnatun uh?” a ti uh.
Many of them said, “He has a demon and is insane! Why do you listen to him?”
21 A tloe rhoek loh, “He tah rhaithae aka kaem kah olka la om mahpawh. Rhaithae loh mikdael kah mik tueng sak thai pawt maco?” a ti uh.
Others said, “These are not the sayings of one possessed by a demon. It is not possible for a demon to open the eyes of the blind, is it?”
22 Te vaengah sikca la om tih Jerusalem ah imciim khotue te om.
It was the Feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem.
23 Te vaengah Jesuh tah Bawkim kah Solomon impup ah pongpa.
It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon’s porch.
24 Te vaengah Judah rhoek loh amah te a vael uh tih, “Mevaeng duela kaimih kah hinglu te na ngaihlih sak eh? Khrih la na om atah kaimih taengah sayalh la thui lah,” a ti nauh.
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.”
25 Jesuh loh amih te, “Nangmih taengah ka thui dae na tangnah uh pawh. A pa ming neh ka bibi saii long te kai kawng a phong.
Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name, these testify about me.
26 Tedae kai kah tu khuiah na om uh pawt dongah na tangnah uh pawh.
But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep, as I told you.
27 Ka tu rhoek tah ka ol te a yaak uh tih kai long khaw amih te ka ming dongah kai m'vai uh.
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
29 A pa loh kai m'paek coeng te tah tanglue la boeih om tih pa kut lamkah te a poelyoe thai moenih.
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.
30 Kai neh pa tah pakhat ni,” a ti nah.
I and the Father are one.”
31 Judah rhoek loh amah te dae ham lungto koep a muk uh.
Therefore the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
32 Jesuh loh amih te, “Pa lamkah khoboe then te nangmih muep kan tueng coeng. Te khuiah mebang khoboe nen nim kai nan dae uh eh,” a ti nah.
Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?”
33 Judah rhoek loh amah te, “Khoboe then dongah pawt tih soehsalnah neh nang hlang la aka om loh Pathen la namah te na sa uh dongah nang te kan dae uh,” a ti nauh.
The Jews answered him, “We do not stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God.”
34 Amih te Jesuh loh, “Nangmih taengah ka thui dae na tangnah uh pawh. A pa ming neh ka bibi saii long te kai kawng a phong.
Jesus answered them, “Is not it written in your law, ‘I said, you are gods’?
35 Pathen kah olka aka dang te Pathen rhoek la a khue atah cacim te a phae thai moenih.
If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken),
36 Pa loh a cil tih diklai la a tueih loh, ' Kai Pathen capa ni,' ka ti dongah a salpham tila na thui uh a?
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 A pa kah bibi te ka saii pawt atah kai n'tangnah uh boeh.
If I do not do the works of my Father, do not believe me.
38 Tedae ka saii atah kai nan tangnah uh pawt cakhaw kai ah a pa om tih kai khaw a pa dongah ka om tila na ming uh tih phat om ham bibi te tangnah uh,” a,” a ti nah.
But if I do them, though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.”
39 Te dongah amah te tuuk ham koep a mae uh dae amih kut lamkah loh vik cet.
They sought again to seize him, and he went out of their hand.
40 Te phoeiah Jordan rhalvangan la koep cet tih pahoi naeh. Te hmuen ah te Johan om lamhma tih a nuem.
He went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was baptizing at first, and he stayed there.
41 Te vaengah a taengla muep a paan uh tih, “Johan loh miknoek saii ngawn pawt dae Johan loh anih kawng a thui boeih te thuem,” a ti uh.
Many came to him. They said, “John indeed did no sign, but everything that John said about this man is true.”
42 Te dongah tekah rhoek loh amah te muep a tangnah uh.
Many believed in him there.
