Sione 10
1 “Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Ko ia ʻoku ʻikai hū ʻi he matapā ki he lotoʻā sipi, ka ʻoku kaka hake ʻi he hala kehe, ko e kaihaʻa ia mo e fakamālohi.
“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter through the gate into the sheep pen, but climbs up some other way, that man is a thief and a robber.
2 Ka ko ia ʻoku hū ʻi he matapā, ko e tauhi ia ʻoe fanga sipi.
He who enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 ʻOku toʻo kiate ia ʻe he leʻo; pea fanongo ki hono leʻo ʻae fanga sipi pea ʻoku ne ui ʻae sipi ʻaʻana ʻi [honau hingoa ]ʻo ne tataki atu ʻakinautolu.
The gatekeeper opens for him. The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
4 Pea ka tuku atu ʻe ia ʻene sipi ʻaʻana ʻoku ʻalu muʻomuʻa ia ʻiate kinautolu, pea muimui ʻae sipi ʻiate ia: he ʻoku nau ʻilo hono leʻo.”
When he has brought out all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
5 Pea ʻe ʻikai te nau muimui ʻi ha foʻou, ka te nau hola meiate ia: he ʻoku ʻikai te nau ʻilo ʻae leʻo ʻoe foʻou.
They will not follow a stranger but instead they will avoid him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.”
6 Naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe Sisu ʻae fakatātā ni kiate kinautolu: ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo hono ʻuhinga ʻo ʻene lea kiate kinautolu.
Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they did not understand what these things were that he was saying to them.
7 Pea toe tala ai ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, Ko au ko e matapā ki he fanga sipi.
Then Jesus said to them again, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the gate of the sheep.
8 Ko kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe muʻomuʻa ʻiate au, ko e kau kaihaʻa mo e fakamālohi: ka naʻe ʻikai fanongo ʻae fanga sipi kiate kinautolu.
Everyone who came before me is a thief and a robber, but the sheep did not listen to them.
9 Ko au pe ko e matapā: pea ko ia ʻe hū ange ʻiate au, ʻe moʻui ia, pea ʻe feʻaluʻaki ai pe ia, ʻo maʻu ʻae meʻakai.
I am the gate. If anyone enters in through me, he will be saved; he will go in and out and will find pasture.
10 ʻOku ʻikai haʻu ʻae kaihaʻa, ka ke kaihaʻasi, pea ke tāmateʻi, pea ke fakaʻauha: kuo u haʻu au ke nau maʻu ʻae moʻui, pea ke nau maʻu ia ʻo lahi ʻaupito.
The thief does not come if he would not steal and kill and destroy. I have come so that they will have life and have it abundantly.
11 “Ko au ko e tauhi lelei: ʻoku foaki ʻe he tauhi lelei ʻa ʻene moʻui koeʻuhi ko e fanga sipi.
I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
12 Ka ko ia ʻoku unga ki he ngāue, ka ʻoku ʻikai ko e tauhi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ʻaʻana ʻae fanga sipi, ʻoku mamata ia ʻoku haʻu ʻae ulofi, pea siʻaki ʻae fanga sipi, kae hola: pea moʻua ia ʻe he ulofi, ʻo fakahēʻi ʻae fanga sipi.
The hired servant is not a shepherd and does not own the sheep. He sees the wolf coming and abandons the sheep and escapes, and the wolf carries them off and scatters them.
13 ʻOku hola ʻae unga ngāue, koeʻuhi ko e unga ngāue [pe ]ia, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻofa ia ki he fanga sipi.
He runs away because he is a hired servant and does not care for the sheep.
14 Ko au ko e tauhi lelei; pea hangē ʻoku ʻilo au ʻe he Tamai, peau ʻilo foki ʻae Tamai,
I am the good shepherd, and I know my own, and my own know me.
15 [ʻOku pehē ]ʻa ʻeku ʻilo ʻaia ʻoku ʻaʻaku, mo e ʻilo au ʻekinautolu: pea ʻoku ou tuku hifo ʻeku moʻui koeʻuhi ko e fanga sipi.
The Father knows me, and I know the Father, and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 Pea ʻoku ai mo ʻeku fanga sipi kehe, ʻoku ʻikai ʻi he lotoʻā ko eni: te u ʻomi ʻakinautolu foki, pea te nau fanongo ki hoku leʻo; pea ʻe ai ʻae lotoʻā pe taha, mo e tauhi pe taha.”
I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also, and they will hear my voice so that there will be one flock and one shepherd.
17 Ko ia ʻoku ʻofa ai ʻa ʻeku Tamai kiate au, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku tuku hifo ʻeku moʻui, kau toe toʻo ia.
This is why the Father loves me: I lay down my life so that I may take it again.
18 ʻOku ʻikai ke toʻo ia ʻe ha taha ʻiate au, ka ʻoku ou tuku hifo ia ʻeau pe. ʻOku ou mafai ke tuku hifo ia, pea ʻoku ou mafai ke toe toʻo ia. Ko e fekau ni kuo u maʻu mei heʻeku Tamai.”
No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. I have received this command from my Father.”
19 Pea naʻe toe fakakikihi ʻae kakai Siu, ko e meʻa ʻi he ngaahi lea ni.
A division again occurred among the Jews because of these words.
20 Pea pehē ʻe honau tokolahi, “ʻOku ʻiate ia ha tēvolo, pea ʻoku faha; ko e hā ʻoku mou fanongo ai kiate ia?”
Many of them said, “He has a demon and is insane. Why do you listen to him?”
21 Pea pehē ʻe he niʻihi, “ʻOku ʻikai ko e lea eni ʻa ha taha ʻoku ʻi ai ha tēvolo. ʻE mafai ʻe ha tēvolo ke fakaʻā ʻae mata ʻoe kui?”
Others said, “These are not the words of a demon-possessed man. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”
22 Pea naʻe fai ʻi Selūsalema ʻae kātoanga ʻoe fakafoʻou, pea ko e faʻahitaʻu momoko.
Then it was time for the Festival of the Dedication in Jerusalem.
23 Pea naʻe ʻeveʻeva ʻa Sisu ʻi he falelotu lahi, ʻi he fale hala ʻo Solomone.
It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple in the porch of Solomon.
24 Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae kakai Siu, ʻo kāpui ia, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “ʻE fēfē hono fuoloa mo hoʻo taʻefakaʻilo kiate kimautolu? Kapau ko e Kalaisi koe, tala totonu mai kiate kimautolu.”
Then the Jews surrounded him and said to him, “How long will you hold us doubting? If you are the Christ, tell us openly.”
25 Pea leaange ʻa Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Naʻaku tala kiate kimoutolu, ka naʻe ʻikai te mou tui: ko e ngaahi ngāue ʻoku ou fai ʻi he huafa ʻo ʻeku Tamai, ʻoku fakamoʻoniʻi ai au.”
Jesus replied to them, “I told you, but you do not believe. The works that I do in the name of my Father, these testify concerning me.
26 Ka ʻoku ʻikai te mou tui, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ʻi heʻeku fanga sipi ʻakimoutolu.
Yet you do not believe because you are not my sheep.
27 ʻOku fanongo ʻeku fanga sipi ki hoku leʻo, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku tala kiate kimoutolu: pea ʻoku ou ʻiloa ʻakinautolu, pea ʻoku nau muimui ʻiate au:
My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me.
29 Ko ʻeku Tamai, ʻaia naʻa ne foaki mai kiate au, ʻoku lahi taha pe ia; pea ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻoku faʻa hamusi mei he nima ʻo ʻeku Tamai.
My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all others, and no one is able to snatch them out of the hand of the Father.
30 Ko au mo e Tamai ʻoku ma taha pe.
I and the Father are one.”
31 Pea toe toʻo hake ʻe he kakai Siu ʻae maka, ke nau tolongaki ʻaki ia.
Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
32 Pea leaange ʻa Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Kuo lahi ʻae ngāue lelei kuo u fakahā kiate kimoutolu mei heʻeku Tamai; ko e ngāue fē ia ʻoku mou tolongakiʻi ai au?
Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of those works are you stoning me?”
33 Pea talaange ʻe he kau Siu kiate ia, ʻo pehē, ʻOku ʻikai ko ha ngāue lelei ʻoku mau tolongakiʻi ai koe; ka ko e fie ʻOtua pe; koeʻuhi ko e tangata pe ʻa koe, ka ʻoku ke fai ke ʻOtua.”
The Jews answered him, “We are not stoning you for any good work, but for blasphemy, because you, a man, are making yourself God.”
34 Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻIkai kuo tohi ʻi hoʻomou fono, Ne u pehē, ‘Ko e ngaahi ʻotua ʻakimoutolu?’
Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, 'I said, “You are gods”'?
35 Kapau ʻoku ui ko e ʻotua ʻakinautolu naʻe folofola ki ai ʻae ʻOtua, pea ʻe ʻikai faʻa liʻaki ʻae tohi;
If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the scripture cannot be broken),
36 ʻOku mou pehē kiate ia kuo fakatapui ʻe he Tamai, ʻo fekau ki māmani, ʻOku ke fie ʻOtua; koeʻuhi naʻaku pehē, Ko e ʻAlo au ʻoe ʻOtua?
do you say to him whom the Father set apart and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God'?
37 Kapau ʻoku ʻikai te u fai ʻae ngāue ʻo ʻeku Tamai, ʻoua te mou tui kiate au.
If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not believe me.
38 Ka ʻi heʻeku fai ia, kapau ʻoku ʻikai te mou tui kiate au, tui ki he ngāue: koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo, mo tui, ʻoku ʻiate au ʻae Tamai, mo au ʻiate ia.”
But if I am doing them, even if you do not believe me, believe in the works so that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and that I am in the Father.”
39 Ko ia naʻa nau toe fie puke ai ia: ka naʻa ne fakahaofi ia mei honau nima,
They tried to seize him again, but he went away out of their hand.
40 ʻO toe ʻalu ki he potu ʻituʻa Sioatani, ʻaia naʻe tomuʻa fai papitaiso ai ʻa Sione; pea nofo ai ia.
He went away again beyond the Jordan to the place where John had first been baptizing, and he stayed there.
41 Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae tokolahi kiate ia, ʻonau pehē, “Naʻe ʻikai fai ʻe Sione ha mana: ka ko e meʻa kotoa pē naʻe lea ki ai ʻa Sione ki he tangata ni, ʻoku moʻoni.”
Many people came to him and they said, “John indeed did no signs, but all the things that John has said about this man are true.”
42 Pea naʻe tui ʻae tokolahi ʻi ai kiate ia.
Many people believed in him there.
