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.
VERILY, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheep-fold, but getteth in some other way, that person is a thief and a robber.
2 Tedae tu kah tudawn la aka om tah thohka longah kun.
He that entereth 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.
To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own peculiar sheep by name, and leadeth them forth.
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.
And when he bringeth out his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: because 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.
And a stranger will they not follow, but will fly from him: for they know not 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.
This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they knew nothing of the things which he spake to them.
7 Te donagah Jesuh loh, “Nangmih taengah rhep rhep kan thui, Kai tah tu thohka la ka om.
Therefore Jesus said unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that I am the door of the sheep.
8 Kai hmaikah aka pawk boeih tah hlanghuen neh dingca rhoek ni. Tedae tu loh amih ol te a hnatun moenih.
All, as many as have gone before me, are thieves and robbers: but the sheep hearkened not 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: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved; and shall go in and out, and 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 cometh not but to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they may have life, and that they may have it more 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 layeth 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.
But the hireling, and he that is not the shepherd, whose own property the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth; and the wolf seizes upon them, and disperseth the sheep.
13 Kutloh la a om dongah tu ham anih a ngaihuet pawh.
Now the hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not 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, and know my own sheep, and am known of 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.
As the Father knoweth me, so know I the Father: and 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.
And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: these also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, one shepherd.
17 Kai loh ka hinglu te koep dang ham ka voeih dongah pa loh kai n'lungnah.
Therefore doth the Father love 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 man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment I have received from my Father.
19 Hekah olka kongah Judah rhoek khuiah paekboenah koep om.
There was therefore a division again among the Jews, on account of these sayings.
20 Te dongah amih khuikah a kumngai loh, “Rhaithae a kaem tih ang coeng, balae tih anih ol na hnatun uh?” a ti uh.
Then many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hearken 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 discourses of a demoniac. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
22 Te vaengah sikca la om tih Jerusalem ah imciim khotue te om.
Then was the feast of dedication at Jerusalem, and it was winter.
23 Te vaengah Jesuh tah Bawkim kah Solomon impup ah pongpa.
And Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon’s portico.
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.
Then the Jews came about him, and said to him, How long dost thou keep our soul in suspense? If thou art the Messiah, 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 ye believed not: the works which I do in the name of my Father, they bear witness of me.
26 Tedae kai kah tu khuiah na om uh pawt dongah na tangnah uh pawh.
But ye believe not, for ye 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 gave them to me, is greater than all and no one shall pluck them out of my Father’s hand.
30 Kai neh pa tah pakhat ni,” a ti nah.
I and my Father are one.
31 Judah rhoek loh amah te dae ham lungto koep a muk uh.
Then the Jews again brought stones, in order 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 said unto them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which work of these are ye going to 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, For a good work we do not stone thee; but for blasphemy; and that thou, being merely a man, makest thyself 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 it not written in your law, “I said ye are gods?”
35 Pathen kah olka aka dang te Pathen rhoek la a khue atah cacim te a phae thai moenih.
If he called those gods, unto 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 ye say of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest 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 the works of my Father, believe me not.
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, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.
39 Te dongah amah te tuuk ham koep a mae uh dae amih kut lamkah loh vik cet.
Then sought they again to apprehend him and he departed out of their reach,
40 Te phoeiah Jordan rhalvangan la koep cet tih pahoi naeh. Te hmuen ah te Johan om lamhma tih a nuem.
and went again beyond Jordan, unto the place where John at first baptised; and there he abode.
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.
And many came to him, and said, That John indeed performed no miracle: but all things whatsoever John spake of this man were true.
42 Te dongah tekah rhoek loh amah te muep a tangnah uh.
And many believed on him there.
