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 to you, He who is not entering through the door to the fold of the sheep, but is going up from another side, that one is a thief and a robber;
2 Tedae tu kah tudawn la aka om tah thohka longah kun.
and he who is entering through the door is 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 this one the doorkeeper doth open, and the sheep hear his voice, and his own sheep he doth call by name, and doth lead 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 his own sheep he may put forth, before them he goeth on, and the sheep follow him, because they have known 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 they will not follow, but will flee from him, because they have not known 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 similitude spake Jesus to them, and they knew not what the things were that he was speaking to them;
7 Te donagah Jesuh loh, “Nangmih taengah rhep rhep kan thui, Kai tah tu thohka la ka om.
Jesus said therefore again to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you — 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 came before me, are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear 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, through me if any one may come in, he shall be saved, and he shall come in, and go 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 doth not come, except that he may steal, and 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 his life layeth down 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.
and the hireling, and not being a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, doth behold the wolf coming, and doth leave the sheep, and doth flee; and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep;
13 Kutloh la a om dongah tu ham anih a ngaihuet pawh.
and the hireling doth flee because he is an hireling, and is not caring 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 I know my [sheep], and am known by mine,
15 Pa loh kai m'ming tih kai loh pa te ka ming vanbangla ka hinglu te khaw tu rhoek ham ka hmoel.
according as the Father doth know me, and I know the Father, and my life I lay down 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 that are not of this fold, these also it behoveth me to bring, and my voice they will hear, and there shall become one flock — one shepherd.
17 Kai loh ka hinglu te koep dang ham ka voeih dongah pa loh kai n'lungnah.
'Because of this doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that again I may take it;
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 doth take it from me, but I lay it down of myself; authority I have to lay it down, and authority I have again to take it; this command I received from my Father.'
19 Hekah olka kongah Judah rhoek khuiah paekboenah koep om.
Therefore, again, there came a division 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.
and many of them said, 'He hath a demon, and is mad, why do ye hear 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 sayings are not those of a demoniac; is a demon able blind men's eyes to open?'
22 Te vaengah sikca la om tih Jerusalem ah imciim khotue te om.
And the dedication in Jerusalem came, and it was winter,
23 Te vaengah Jesuh tah Bawkim kah Solomon impup ah pongpa.
and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the porch of Solomon,
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 round about him, and said to him, 'Till when our soul dost thou hold in suspense? if thou art the Christ, tell us freely.'
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 do not believe; the works that I do in the name of my Father, these testify concerning me;
26 Tedae kai kah tu khuiah na om uh pawt dongah na tangnah uh pawh.
but ye do not believe, for ye are not of my sheep,
27 Ka tu rhoek tah ka ol te a yaak uh tih kai long khaw amih te ka ming dongah kai m'vai uh.
according as I said to you: My sheep my voice do hear, 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 hath given to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to pluck out of the hand of my Father;
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, again, did the Jews take up stones that they may 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, 'Many good works did I shew you from my Father; because of which work of them do ye 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, saying, 'For a good work we do not stone thee, but for evil speaking, and because thou, being a man, dost make 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 having been 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 them he did call gods unto whom the word of God came, (and the Writing is not able to 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?
of him whom the Father did sanctify, and send to the world, do ye say — Thou speakest evil, because I said, Son of God I am?
37 A pa kah bibi te ka saii pawt atah kai n'tangnah uh boeh.
if I do not 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.
and if I do, even if me ye may not believe, the works believe, that ye may know and may believe that in me [is] the Father, and I in Him.'
39 Te dongah amah te tuuk ham koep a mae uh dae amih kut lamkah loh vik cet.
Therefore were they seeking again to seize him, and he went forth 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.
and went away again to the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John was at first baptizing, and remained 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.
and many came unto him, and said — 'John, indeed, did no sign, and all things, as many as John said about this one were true;'
42 Te dongah tekah rhoek loh amah te muep a tangnah uh.
and many did believe in him there.
