Yochanan 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.
Nkasimpe, nkasimpe, ndamwambila, utanjili akwinda amulyango wachaata chambelele, pele ulatanta mujulu ayimbi nzila, ooyo muntu mubbi asikunyanga.
2 But one who enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
Ooyo unjila akwinda amulyango ngusikwembela mbelele.
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.
Uubamba mulyango ulamujulila. Mbelele zilamvwa ijwi lyakwe, aboobo ulazyita mbelele zyakwe amazina azyo, akuzitola anze.
4 Whenever he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
Chiindi nazigwisizya anze zyoonse zyakwe, ulinka kunembo lyazyo, abbobo mbelele ziyomutobela, nkambo zililizi ijwi lyakwe.
5 They will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him; for they don’t know the voice of strangers.”
Tazikoyo tobela mwenzu nguzitazi pesi anukuti ziyomuchija, nkambo tazilizi pe ijwi lyamwenzu ngozitazi.
6 Yeshua spoke this parable to them, but they didn’t understand what he was telling them.
Jesu wakamba aya mambilambali kulimbabo, pesi takwe nibakamvwisisya kuti ezi zintu zyakali nzizyo nzyakali kubaambila.
7 Yeshua therefore said to them again, “Most certainly, I tell you, I am the sheep’s door.
Aboobo Jesu wakabambila lubo, “nchobeni, nchobeni ndamwambila, ndime, mulyango wambelele.
8 All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn’t listen to them.
Boonse bakasika nkesina sika mbabbi abasikunyanga, pesi mbelele tezyakabaswilila.
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.
Ndime mulyango. Kuti umwii unjila akwiinda mulindime, uyoo futulwa, uyoo njila akuzwa akujana machelelo.
10 The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.
Mubbi tazi kupela pe kunze kwakubba, kujaya akunyonyona. Ndaza kuti babe abuumi akuti buvule.
11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
Ndime sikwembela mubotu. Sikwembela mubotu ulapeda buumi bwakwe kumbelele.
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.
Oyoo mubelesi ubbadalwa tensi ngusikwembela pe aboobo tazilizyakwe mbelele. A bona wumpe ulaza aboobo ulazisiya mbelele akuchija, elyo wumpe uyoziluma akuzimwayisya.
13 The hired hand flees because he is a hired hand and doesn’t care for the sheep.
Ulachija nkambo mubelesi sikubbadalwa aboobo talikatazyi ambelele.
14 I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and I’m known by my own;
Ndime sikwembela mubotu, aboobo zyangu zilindizi.
15 even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.
Taata ulindizi, andime ndilimwizi Taata, aboobo ndilapeda buumi bwangu kumbelele.
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.
Ndilijisi zimwi mbelele zitali zyamuchata chambelele echino. Aboobo ndilelede kuzyeta azilazyo, alimwi ziyolimvwa ijwi lyangu elyo ziyoba taanga lyomwe asikwembela omwe.
17 Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
Echi nchenchicho Taata nchandiyandila. Ndilapeda buumi bwangu elyo njobubweza lubo.
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.”
Takwe naba omwe uyobubweza kuzwa kuli ndime, pesi ndabupeda ndemwini. Ndila chelelo chakubupeda ndemwini. Ndila chelelo chakubupeda, aboobo ndilachelelo chakubu bweza lubo. Ndakatambula malayilile aya kuzwa kuli Taata”
19 Therefore a division arose again amongst the Judeans because of these words.
Kwanzana lubo kwaka akati kama Juda nkambo kamajwi aya.
20 Many of them said, “He has a demon and is insane! Why do you listen to him?”
Biingi babo bakati “Ulijisi dimoni abobo ulisuwidwe. Nkambonzi nmumuswilila?”
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?”
Bamwi bakati, “Aya tensi majwi amuntu unjidwe dimoni. Sena dimoni lilakonzya kujula meso amoofu”?
22 It was the Feast of Hanukkah at Jerusalem.
Kwakali kuchindi chakusalazigwa mu Jelusalemu. Kwakali lya mpeyo,
23 It was winter, and Yeshua was walking in the temple, in Solomon’s porch.
aboobo Jesu wakali kuyowenda mu mutempele mu kota lya Solomon.
24 The Judeans therefore came around him and said to him, “How long will you hold us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.”
Pesi ba Juda bakamuzyunguluka akwamba kuti kuli nguwe, “Kukabe lili kojisi nkotwena? Kuti na nduwe Kilisito, twambile antanganana”.
25 Yeshua answered them, “I told you, and you don’t believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name, these testify about me.
Jesu wakabasandula, “Ndakamwambila, pesi tamusyomi pe. Milimu eyo njenchita muzina lya Taata njindipandulula lwangu me.
26 But you don’t believe, because you are not of my sheep, as I told you.
Pesi tamusyomi nkambo tamuli mbelele zyangu.
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
Mbelele zyangu zilamvwa ijwi lyangu. Ndilizizi aboobo zilanditobela me.
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.
Taata wangu wakazipa ndime, mupati kwinda bamwi boonse takwe naba omwe uyokonzya kuzikwempya kuzwa mujanza lya Taata.
30 I and the Father are one.”
Ime a Taata tuli umwi”.
31 Therefore the Judeans took up stones again to stone him.
Nkabela ma Juda bakabweza mabwe lubo kuti bamutulule
32 Yeshua answered them, “I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?”
Jesu wakabasandula, “Ndamutondezya milimu myingi mibotu izwa kuli Taata. Pesi nguli wamilimu awa ngumunditulwida?”
33 The Judeans answered him, “We don’t stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God.”
Ba Juda bakamusandula, “Tetwakutulula nkambo kamilimu mibotu pe, pesi nkambo kakusampawula, nkambo webo, ulimuntu, ulichita Leza lwakwe”.
34 Yeshua answered them, “Isn’t it written in your law, ‘I said, you are gods’?
Jesu wakasandula “Sa tazilembedwe na mumulawu wanu, 'Ndati, “muli baleza”?
35 If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture can’t be broken),
Kuti bategwa mbaleza, ooyo ngulyakazida ijwi lya Leza ( aboobo malembe takoyotyolwa),
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’?
uwamba kuli ooyo ngwakasala Taata akumutuma munyika, Muloku sampawula. nkambo ndamba kuti ndii mwana wa Leza?
37 If I don’t do the works of my Father, don’t believe me.
Kuti na nsili kuchita milimu ya Taata, mutandisyomi.
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.”
Pesi na ndikuchita, nansya kuti temwandisyoma, musyome mumilimu kuchitila kuti mukazibe akumvwisisisya kuti Taata ulimulindime aboobo ambebo ndimuli Taata”.
39 They sought again to seize him, and he went out of their hand.
Bakezya kumujata lubo, pesi wakapuzuka kuzwa kumanza abo.
40 He went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where Yochanan was immersing at first, and he stayed there.
Wakabweda lubo mutaala Jodani kubusena oko Joni nkwakatalikila kubbabbatizya, aboobo wakakukkala nkukoko.
41 Many came to him. They said, “Yochanan indeed did no sign, but everything that Yochanan said about this man is true.”
Bantu biingi bakasika kulinguwe alimwi bakati, “Joni nchobeni takwe nakachita zitondezyo, pesi zyonse zintu Joni nzyakamba atala ayoyu mwalumi nzyakasimpe”.
42 Many believed in him there.
Bantu biingi bakamusyoma mpawawo.
