John 10
1 “Most certainly, I tell you, one who doesn’t enter by the door into the sheep fold, but climbs up some other way, is a thief and a robber.
ahaṁ yuṣmānatiyathārthaṁ vadāmi, yō janō dvārēṇa na praviśya kēnāpyanyēna mēṣagr̥haṁ praviśati sa ēva stēnō dasyuśca|
2 But one who enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
yō dvārēṇa praviśati sa ēva mēṣapālakaḥ|
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.
dauvārikastasmai dvāraṁ mōcayati mēṣagaṇaśca tasya vākyaṁ śr̥ṇōti sa nijān mēṣān svasvanāmnāhūya bahiḥ kr̥tvā nayati|
4 Whenever he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
tathā nijān mēṣān bahiḥ kr̥tvā svayaṁ tēṣām agrē gacchati, tatō mēṣāstasya śabdaṁ budhyantē, tasmāt tasya paścād vrajanti|
5 They will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him; for they don’t know the voice of strangers.”
kintu parasya śabdaṁ na budhyantē tasmāt tasya paścād vrajiṣyanti varaṁ tasya samīpāt palāyiṣyantē|
6 Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they didn’t understand what he was telling them.
yīśustēbhya imāṁ dr̥ṣṭāntakathām akathayat kintu tēna kathitakathāyāstātparyyaṁ tē nābudhyanta|
7 Jesus therefore said to them again, “Most certainly, I tell you, I am the sheep’s door.
atō yīśuḥ punarakathayat, yuṣmānāhaṁ yathārthataraṁ vyāharāmi, mēṣagr̥hasya dvāram ahamēva|
8 All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn’t listen to them.
mayā na praviśya ya āgacchan tē stēnā dasyavaśca kintu mēṣāstēṣāṁ kathā nāśr̥ṇvan|
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.
ahamēva dvārasvarūpaḥ, mayā yaḥ kaścita praviśati sa rakṣāṁ prāpsyati tathā bahirantaśca gamanāgamanē kr̥tvā caraṇasthānaṁ prāpsyati|
10 The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.
yō janastēnaḥ sa kēvalaṁ stainyabadhavināśān karttumēva samāyāti kintvaham āyu rdātum arthāt bāhūlyēna tadēva dātum āgaccham|
11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
ahamēva satyamēṣapālakō yastu satyō mēṣapālakaḥ sa mēṣārthaṁ prāṇatyāgaṁ karōti;
12 He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who doesn’t own the sheep, sees the wolf coming, leaves the sheep, and flees. The wolf snatches the sheep and scatters them.
kintu yō janō mēṣapālakō na, arthād yasya mēṣā nijā na bhavanti, ya ētādr̥śō vaitanikaḥ sa vr̥kam āgacchantaṁ dr̥ṣṭvā mējavrajaṁ vihāya palāyatē, tasmād vr̥kastaṁ vrajaṁ dhr̥tvā vikirati|
13 The hired hand flees because he is a hired hand and doesn’t care for the sheep.
vaitanikaḥ palāyatē yataḥ sa vētanārthī mēṣārthaṁ na cintayati|
14 I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and I’m known by my own;
ahamēva satyō mēṣapālakaḥ, pitā māṁ yathā jānāti, ahañca yathā pitaraṁ jānāmi,
15 even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.
tathā nijān mēṣānapi jānāmi, mēṣāśca māṁ jānānti, ahañca mēṣārthaṁ prāṇatyāgaṁ karōmi|
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.
aparañca ētad gr̥hīya mēṣēbhyō bhinnā api mēṣā mama santi tē sakalā ānayitavyāḥ; tē mama śabdaṁ śrōṣyanti tata ēkō vraja ēkō rakṣakō bhaviṣyati|
17 Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
prāṇānahaṁ tyaktvā punaḥ prāṇān grahīṣyāmi, tasmāt pitā mayi snēhaṁ karōti|
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.”
kaścijjanō mama prāṇān hantuṁ na śaknōti kintu svayaṁ tān samarpayāmi tān samarpayituṁ punargrahītuñca mama śaktirāstē bhāramimaṁ svapituḥ sakāśāt prāptōham|
19 Therefore a division arose again among the Jews because of these words.
asmādupadēśāt punaśca yihūdīyānāṁ madhyē bhinnavākyatā jātā|
20 Many of them said, “He has a demon and is insane! Why do you listen to him?”
tatō bahavō vyāharan ēṣa bhūtagrasta unmattaśca, kuta ētasya kathāṁ śr̥ṇutha?
21 Others said, “These are not the sayings of one possessed by a demon. It isn’t possible for a demon to open the eyes of the blind, is it?”
kēcid avadan ētasya kathā bhūtagrastasya kathāvanna bhavanti, bhūtaḥ kim andhāya cakṣuṣī dātuṁ śaknōti?
22 It was the Feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem.
śītakālē yirūśālami mandirōtsargaparvvaṇyupasthitē
23 It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon’s porch.
yīśuḥ sulēmānō niḥsārēṇa gamanāgamanē karōti,
24 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.”
ētasmin samayē yihūdīyāstaṁ vēṣṭayitvā vyāharan kati kālān asmākaṁ vicikitsāṁ sthāpayiṣyāmi? yadyabhiṣiktō bhavati tarhi tat spaṣṭaṁ vada|
25 Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you don’t believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name, these testify about me.
tadā yīśuḥ pratyavadad aham acakathaṁ kintu yūyaṁ na pratītha, nijapitu rnāmnā yāṁ yāṁ kriyāṁ karōmi sā kriyaiva mama sākṣisvarūpā|
26 But you don’t believe, because you are not of my sheep, as I told you.
kintvahaṁ pūrvvamakathayaṁ yūyaṁ mama mēṣā na bhavatha, kāraṇādasmān na viśvasitha|
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
mama mēṣā mama śabdaṁ śr̥ṇvanti tānahaṁ jānāmi tē ca mama paścād gacchanti|
29 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.
yō mama pitā tān mahyaṁ dattavān sa sarvvasmāt mahān, kōpi mama pituḥ karāt tān harttuṁ na śakṣyati|
30 I and the Father are one.”
ahaṁ pitā ca dvayōrēkatvam|
31 Therefore the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
tatō yihūdīyāḥ punarapi taṁ hantuṁ pāṣāṇān udatōlayan|
32 Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?”
yīśuḥ kathitavān pituḥ sakāśād bahūnyuttamakarmmāṇi yuṣmākaṁ prākāśayaṁ tēṣāṁ kasya karmmaṇaḥ kāraṇān māṁ pāṣāṇairāhantum udyatāḥ stha?
33 The Jews answered him, “We don’t stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God.”
yihūdīyāḥ pratyavadan praśastakarmmahētō rna kintu tvaṁ mānuṣaḥ svamīśvaram uktvēśvaraṁ nindasi kāraṇādasmāt tvāṁ pāṣāṇairhanmaḥ|
34 Jesus answered them, “Isn’t it written in your law, ‘I said, you are gods’?
tadā yīśuḥ pratyuktavān mayā kathitaṁ yūyam īśvarā ētadvacanaṁ yuṣmākaṁ śāstrē likhitaṁ nāsti kiṁ?
35 If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture can’t be broken),
tasmād yēṣām uddēśē īśvarasya kathā kathitā tē yadīśvaragaṇā ucyantē dharmmagranthasyāpyanyathā bhavituṁ na śakyaṁ,
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’?
tarhyāham īśvarasya putra iti vākyasya kathanāt yūyaṁ pitrābhiṣiktaṁ jagati prēritañca pumāṁsaṁ katham īśvaranindakaṁ vādaya?
37 If I don’t do the works of my Father, don’t believe me.
yadyahaṁ pituḥ karmma na karōmi tarhi māṁ na pratīta;
38 But if I do them, though you don’t believe me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.”
kintu yadi karōmi tarhi mayi yuṣmābhiḥ pratyayē na kr̥tē'pi kāryyē pratyayaḥ kriyatāṁ, tatō mayi pitāstīti pitaryyaham asmīti ca kṣātvā viśvasiṣyatha|
39 They sought again to seize him, and he went out of their hand.
tadā tē punarapi taṁ dharttum acēṣṭanta kintu sa tēṣāṁ karēbhyō nistīryya
40 He went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was baptizing at first, and he stayed there.
puna ryarddan adyāstaṭē yatra purvvaṁ yōhan amajjayat tatrāgatya nyavasat|
41 Many came to him. They said, “John indeed did no sign, but everything that John said about this man is true.”
tatō bahavō lōkāstatsamīpam āgatya vyāharan yōhan kimapyāścaryyaṁ karmma nākarōt kintvasmin manuṣyē yā yaḥ kathā akathayat tāḥ sarvvāḥ satyāḥ;
42 Many believed in him there.
tatra ca bahavō lōkāstasmin vyaśvasan|
