John 10
1 "Truly, truly, I tell you, one who does not enter by the door into the sheepfold, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
“Le fa e le mang yo o ganang go tsena ka kgoro mo lesakeng la dinku, yo o tlolelang ka lokotswana, o tshwanetse tota a be a le legodu.
2 But one who enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
Gonne modisa o tsena ka kgoro.
3 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.
Motlhokomedi wa kgoro o a e mmulela, mme dinku di utlwa lentswe la gagwe jalo di tle kwa go ene; mme a bitse dinku tsa gagwe ka maina a di etelele pele di ya kwa ntle.
4 Whenever he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
O tsamaya kwa pele ga tsone; mme di mo sale morago, gonne di tlhaloganya lentswe la gagwe.
5 They will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him; for they do not know the voice of strangers."
Ga di kitla di sala moeng morago, mme di tlaa mo phatlalalela, gonne ga di itse lentswe la gagwe.”
6 Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they did not understand what he was telling them.
Ba ba neng ba utlwa Jesu a dirisa setshwantsho se ba ne ba seka ba tlhaloganya se a se rayang.
7 Jesus therefore said to them again, "Truly, truly, I tell you, I am the sheep's door.
Mme a se ba tlhalosetsa a re, “Ke nna Kgoro ya dinku.
8 All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.
Botlhe ba bangwe ba ba tsileng pele ga me e ne e le magodu le dinokwane. Mme dinku tsa boammaaruri ga di ise di ke di ba reetse.
9 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.
Ee, ke nna Kgoro. Ba ba tsenang ka Kgoro ba tlaa bolokwa mme ba tlaa tsena ba bo ba tswa mme ba tlaa bona mafulo a matalana.
10 The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.
Maikaelelo a legodu ke go utswa, le go bolaya le go senya. Mme nna maikaelelo a me ke go aba botshelo jo bo sa khutleng ka letlotlo.
11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
“Ke Modisa yo o Molemo. Modisa yo o molemo o ntshetsa dinku botshelo jwa gagwe.
12 He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away; and the wolf snatches them and scatters them.
Motho yo o thapilweng o tlaa sia a tlogela dinku fa a bona phiri e tla, gonne ga se tsa gagwe ebile ga se modisa wa tsone. Mme jalo phiri e di tlolele e phatlalatse letsomane.
13 And the hired hand flees because he is a hired hand and the sheep means nothing to him.
Motho yo o thapilweng o sia ka ntlha ya gore o thapilwe, le ka ntlha ya gore ga a kgathalele dinku thata.
14 I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and my own know me;
“Ke Modisa yo o Molemo ebile ke itse dinku tsa me, le tsone di a nkitse.
15 even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.
Fela jaaka Rara a nkitse le nna ke itse Rara; jalo ke ntshetsa dinku botshelo jwa me.
16 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.
Ke na le dinku tse dingwe mo lesakeng le lengwe. Le tsone ke tshwanetse go di lere, mme di tlaa utlwa lentswe la me; jalo go tlaa nna letsomane le le lengwe ka fa tlase ga tlhokomelo ya Modisa a le mongwe fela.
17 Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
“Rara o a nthata gonne ke ntsha botshelo jwa me setlhabelo gore ke tle ke nne le jone gape.
18 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."
Ga go na ope yo o ka mpolayang kwa ntle ga go rata ga me. Ke ntsha botshelo jwa me setlhabelo ka bonna. Gonne ke na le tshwanelo le nonofo ya go bo ntsha setlhabelo fa ke batla le tshwanelo le nonofo ya go bo tsaya gape. Gonne Rara o nneile tshwanelo e.”
19 A division arose again among the Jewish people because of these words.
Erile fa a bua jaana, baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba kgaogana mo megopolong gape ka ga gagwe.
20 Many of them said, "He has a demon, and is insane. Why do you listen to him?"
Bangwe ba bone ba re, “O na le mowa o o maswe eseng jalo o a tsenwa. Ke eng re reetsa motho yo o ntseng jalo?”
21 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?"
Ba bangwe ba re, “Mo go rona golo mo ga go utlwale go buiwa ke motho yo o tsenweng ke mowa o o maswe! A mowa o o maswe o ka foufolola matlho a difofu?”
22 At that time Hanukkah took place in Jerusalem.
Go ne go le mariga, fa Jesu a le mo Jerusalema ka lebaka lwa Moletlo wa Boshafatso. O ne a le kwa Tempeleng, a raletse golo fa go bidiwang Mathudi a ga Solomone.
23 It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon's porch.
24 The Jewish leaders therefore came around him and said to him, "How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly."
Baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba mo dikgaganyetsa mme ba mmotsa ba re, “O tlaa re baya mo lefifing la bosena-kitso fitlhelela leng? Fa e le gore o Mesia re bolelele sentle.”
25 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.
Mme Jesu a ba raya are, “Ke setse ke lo bole-letse, mme ga lo ntumele. Sesupo ke dikgakgamatso tse ke di dirang ka leina la ga Rara.
26 But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep.
Mme ga lo ntumele gonne ga lo ba letsomane la me.
27 As I said to you, my sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
Dinku tsa me di itse lentswe la me, le nna ke a di itse, mme dintshala morago.
29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all. No one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand.
gonne Rara o di nneile, mme o nonofile go feta mongwe le mongwe, jalo he ga go na ope yo o ka di utswang mo go nna.
30 I and the Father are one."
Nna le Rara re selo se le sengwe.”
31 Therefore the Jewish leaders took up stones again to stone him.
Mme gape baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba sela matlapa go mmolaya.
32 Jesus answered them, "I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of those works do you stone me?"
Jesu a ba raya a re, “E fa kaelong ya Modimo ke dirile dikgakgamatso di le dintsi go thusa batho. Lo mpolaela kgakgamatso efe?”
33 The Jewish leaders answered him, "We do not stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy: because you, being a man, make yourself God."
Mme ba mo fetola ba re, “Ga re go balaele tiro epe e e siameng, re go bolaela tlhapatso; wena, mothonyana ke wena yo o seng wa sepe o ipiditse gore o Modimo.”
34 Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your law, 'I said, you are gods?'
Mme a fetola a re, “Mo molaong wa lona gatwe batho ke medimo Jalo he, fa lokwalo, lo lo sa ka keng lwa bua maaka, lo bua ka gore medimo ke batho ba molaetsa wa Modimo o tsileng mo go bone, a lo go bitsa tlhapatso fa yo ene a itshepisitsweng a bile a romilwe mo lefatsheng ke Rara a re, ‘Ke Morwa Modimo?’
35 If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken),
36 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 If I do not do the works of my Father, do not believe me.
Se ntumeleng, fa e se fela ke dira dikgakgamatso tsa Modimo.
38 But if I do them, though you do not believe me, believe the works; that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father."
Mme fa ke di dira, di dumeleng lefa lo sa ntumele. Hong lo tlaa dumela tota gore Rara omo go nna, le gore ke mo go Rara.”
39 Now they sought again to seize him, and he went out of their hand.
Gape ba leka go mo tshwara. Mme a tsamaya a ba tlogela…
40 He went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was baptizing at first, and there he stayed.
Mme a tlhatlogela kwa moseja ga Noka ya Jorodane go nna gaufile lefelo le Johane a neng a kolobeletsa mo go lone lwa ntlha.
41 Many came to him. They said, "John indeed did no sign, but everything that John said about this man is true."
Mme ba le bantsi ba mo sala morago. Mme ba le bantsi ba mo sala morago. Mme ba dumaduma ba re, “Johane ga a ise a ke a dire dikgakgamatso, mme dipolelelopele tsa gagwe tsotlhe kaga monna yo di diragetse,”
42 And many believed in him there.
Hong ba le bantsi ba dumela gore ke Mesia.
