John 10
1 Verely verely I saye vnto you: he that entreth not in by ye dore into the shepefolde but clymeth vp some other waye: the same is a thefe and a robber.
Yesu alisema “Kweli nawaambieni, yeyote yule asiyeingia katika zizi la kondoo kwa kupitia mlangoni, bali hupenya na kuingia kwa njia nyingine, huyo ni mwizi na mnyang'anyi.
2 He that goeth in by ye dore is the shepeherde of ye shepe:
Lakini anayeingia kwa kupitia mlangoni, huyo ndiye mchungaji wa kondoo.
3 to him the porter openeth and the shepe heare his voyce and he calleth his awne shepe by name and leadeth them out.
Mngoja mlango wa zizi humfungulia, na kondoo husikia sauti yake, naye huwaita kondoo wake kila mmoja kwa jina lake na kuwaongoza nje.
4 And when he hath sent forthe his awne shepe he goeth before them and the shepe folowe him: for they knowe his voyce.
Akisha watoa nje huwatangulia mbele nao kondoo humfuata, kwani wanaijua sauti yake.
5 A straunger they will not folowe but will flye from him: for they knowe not the voyce of straungers.
Kondoo hao hawawezi kumfuata mgeni, bali watamkimbia kwa sababu hawaijui sauti yake.”
6 This similitude spake Iesus vnto them. But they vnderstode not what thinges they were which he spake vnto them.
Yesu aliwaambia mfano huo, lakini wao hawakuelewa alichotaka kuwaambia.
7 Then sayde Iesus vnto them agayne. Verely verely I saye vnto you: I am the dore of the shepe.
Basi, akasema tena, “Kweli nawaambieni, mimi ni mlango wa kondoo.
8 All even as many as came before me are theves and robbers: but the shepe dyd not heare them.
Wale wengine wote waliokuja kabla yangu ni wezi na wanyang'anyi, nao kondoo hawakuwasikiliza.
9 I am the dore: by me yf eny man enter in he shalbe safe and shall goo in and out and fynde pasture.
Mimi ni mlango. Anayeingia kwa kupitia kwangu ataokolewa; ataingia na kutoka, na kupata malisho.
10 The thefe cometh not but forto steale kyll and destroye. I am come that they myght have lyfe and have it more aboundantly.
Mwizi huja kwa shabaha ya kuiba, kuua na kuharibu. Mimi nimekuja mpate kuwa na uzima—uzima kamili.
11 I am ye good shepeheerd. The good shepeheerd geveth his lyfe for ye shepe.
“Mimi ni mchungaji mwema. Mchungaji mwema huutoa uhai wake kwa ajili ya kondoo wake.
12 An heyred servaut which is not ye shepeherd nether ye shepe are his awne seith the wolfe comynge and leveth the shepe and flyeth and the wolfe catcheth them and scattereth ye shepe.
Mtu wa kuajiriwa ambaye si mchungaji, na wala kondoo si mali yake, anapoona mbwa mwitu anakuja, huwaacha kondoo na kukimbia. Kisha mbwa mwitu huwakamata na kuwatawanya.
13 The heyred servaut flyeth because he is an heyred servaunt and careth not for the shepe.
Yeye hajali kitu juu ya kondoo kwa sababu yeye ni mtu wa mshahara tu.
14 I am that good shepeheerd and knowe myne and am knowe of myne.
Mimi ni mchungaji mwema. Nawajua walio wangu, nao walio wangu wananijua mimi,
15 As my father knoweth me: even so knowe I my father. And I geve my lyfe for the shepe:
kama vile Baba anijuavyo, nami nimjuavyo Baba. Mimi nayatoa maisha yangu kwa ajili yao.
16 and other shepe I have which are not of this folde. Them also must I bringe that they maye heare my voyce and that ther maye be one flocke and one shepeherde.
Tena ninao kondoo wengine ambao hawamo zizini humu. Inanibidi kuwaleta hao pia, nao wataisikia sauti yangu, na kutakuwako kundi moja na mchungaji mmoja.
17 Therfore doth my father love me because I put my lyfe from me that I myght take it agayne.
“Baba ananipenda kwani nautoa uhai wangu ili nipate kuupokea tena.
18 No man taketh it from me: but I put it awaye of my selfe. I have power to put it from me and have power to take it agayne: This comaundment have I receaved of my father.
Hakuna mtu anayeninyang'anya uhai wangu; mimi na nautoa kwa hiari yangu mwenyewe. Ninao uwezo wa kuutoa na uwezo wa kuuchukua tena. Hivi ndivyo Baba alivyoniamuru nifanye.”
19 And ther was a dissencion agayne amoge the Iewes for these sayinges
Kukawa tena na mafarakano kati ya Wayahudi kwa sababu ya maneno haya.
20 and many of them sayd. He hath the devyll and is mad: why heare ye him?
Wengi wao wakasema, “Ana pepo; tena ni mwendawazimu! Ya nini kumsikiliza?”
21 Other sayde these are not the wordes of him that hath the devyll. Can the devyll open the eyes of the blynde?
Wengine wakasema, “Haya si maneno ya mwenye pepo. Je, pepo anaweza kuyafumbua macho ya vipofu?”
22 And it was at Ierusalem ye feaste of the dedicacion and it was wynter:
Huko Yerusalemu kulikuwa na sikukuu ya Kutabaruku. Wakati huo ulikuwa wa baridi.
23 and Iesus walked in Salomons porche.
Naye Yesu akawa anatembea Hekaluni katika ukumbi wa Solomoni.
24 Then came the Iewes rounde aboute him and sayde vnto him: How longe dost thou make vs doute? Yf thou be Christ tell vs playnly.
Basi, Wayahudi wakamzunguka, wakamwuliza, “Utatuacha katika mashaka mpaka lini? Kama wewe ndiye Kristo, basi, tuambie wazi.”
25 Iesus answered them: I tolde you and ye beleve not. The workes yt I do in my fathers name they beare witnes of me.
Yesu akawajibu, “Nimewaambieni, lakini hamsadiki. Kazi ninazozifanya mimi kwa jina la Baba yangu zinanishuhudia.
26 But ye beleve not because ye are not of my shepe. As I sayde vnto you:
Lakini ninyi hamsadiki kwa sababu ninyi si kondoo wangu.
27 my shepe heare my voyce and I knowe them and they folowe me
Kondoo wangu huisikia sauti yangu; mimi nawajua, nao hunifuata.
29 My father which gave the me is greatter then all and no man is able to take them out of my fathers honde.
Baba yangu ambaye ndiye aliyenipa hao ni mkuu kuliko wote, wale hakuna awezaye kuwatoa mikononi mwake Baba.
30 And I and my father are one.
Mimi na Baba, tu mmoja.”
31 Then the Iewes agayne toke up stones to stone him with all.
Basi, Wayahudi wakachukua mawe ili wamtupie.
32 Iesus answered them: many good workes have I shewed you from my father: for which of them will ye stone me?
Yesu akawaambia, “Nimewaonyesheni kazi nyingi kutoka kwa Baba. Ni ipi kati ya hizo inayowafanya mnipige mawe?”
33 The Iewes answered him sayinge. For thy good workes sake we stone ye not: but for thy blasphemy and because that thou beinge a man makest thy selfe God.
Wayahudi wakamjibu, “Hatukupigi mawe kwa ajili ya tendo jema, ila kwa sababu ya kukufuru! Maana wajifanya kuwa Mungu hali wewe ni binadamu tu.”
34 Iesus answered them: Is it not written in youre lawe: I saye ye are goddes?
Yesu akawajibu, “Je, haikuandikwa katika Sheria yenu: Mimi nimesema, ninyi ni miungu?
35 If he called the goddes vnto whom the worde of God was spoken (and the scripture can not be broken)
Mungu aliwaita miungu wale waliopewa neno lake; nasi twajua kwamba Maandiko Matakatifu yasema ukweli daima.
36 saye ye then to him whom the father hath sainctified and sent into the worlde thou blasphemest because I sayd I am the sonne of God?
Je, yeye ambaye Baba alimweka wakfu na kumtuma ulimwenguni, mnamwambia: Unakufuru, eti kwa sababu nilisema: Mimi ni Mwana wa Mungu?
37 If I do not the workes of my father beleve me not.
Kama sifanyi kazi za Baba yangu msiniamini.
38 But if I do though ye beleve not me yet beleve the workes that ye maye knowe and beleve that the father is in me and I in him.
Lakini ikiwa ninazifanya, hata kama hamniamini, walau ziaminini hizo kazi mpate kujua na kutambua kwamba Baba yuko ndani yangu, nami niko ndani yake.”
39 Agayne they went aboute to take him: but he escaped out of their hondes
Wakajaribu tena kumkamata lakini akachopoka mikononi mwao.
40 and went awaye agayne beyonde Iordan into the place where Iohn before had baptised and there aboode.
Yesu akaenda tena ng'ambo ya mto Yordani, mahali Yohane alipokuwa akibatiza, akakaa huko.
41 And many resorted vnto him and sayd. Iohn dyd no miracle: but all thinges that Iohn spake of this man are true.
Watu wengi walimwendea wakasema, “Yohane hakufanya ishara yoyote. Lakini yale yote Yohane aliyosema juu ya mtu huyu ni kweli kabisa.”
42 And many beleved on him theare.
Watu wengi mahali hapo wakamwamini.
