Yohana 10
Neno: Bibilia Takatifu
Mchungaji Mwema
10 “Ninawaambia hakika, mtu asiyeingia katika zizi la kondoo kwa kupitia mlangoni, bali hupenya ndani kwa kupitia njia nyin gine, ni mwizi na mnyang’anyi. 2 Anayepitia mlangoni ndiye mchun gaji wa kondoo. 3 Mlinzi humfungulia mlango na kondoo hutambua sauti yake. Yeye huwaita kondoo wake kwa majina yao na kuwaongoza nje ya zizi. 4 Akiisha watoa wote nje, hutangulia mbele yao na kondoo humfuata kwa kuwa wanaifahamu sauti yake. 5 Kondoo hawam fuati mtu wasiyemfahamu bali humkimbia, kwa sababu hawatambui sauti ya mgeni.” 6 Yesu alitumia mfano huu lakini wao hawakuel ewa maana yake.
7 Kwa hiyo Yesu akasema nao tena akawaambia, “Mimi ni mlango wa kupitia kondoo. 8 Wote walionitangulia ni wezi na wany ang’anyi. Hata hivyo kondoo hawakuwafuata. 9 Mimi ni mlango; mtu ye yote anayeingia zizini kwa kupitia kwangu atakuwa salama, naye ataingia na kutoka na kupata malisho. 10 Mwizi huja kwa nia ya kuiba, kuua na kuharibu. Nimekuja ili watu wapate uzima; uzima ulio kamili. 11 Mimi ni Mchungaji Mwema. Mchungaji Mwema hutoa maisha yake kwa ajili ya kondoo. 12 Mtu wa kuajiriwa anapoona mbwa mwitu akija, hukimbia na kuwaacha kondoo hatarini kwa kuwa kondoo si wake, naye si mchungaji wao; na hivyo mbwa mwitu huwar ukia kondoo na kuwatawanya. 13 Yeye hukimbia kwa sababu ameaji riwa tu na hawajali kondoo.
14 Mimi ni Mchungaji Mwema: ninawafahamu kondoo wangu nao wananifahamu, 15 kama vile Baba yangu anavyonifahamu na mimi ninamfahamu. Nami nautoa uhai wangu kwa ajili ya kondoo. 16 Ninao kondoo wengine ambao si wa zizi hili; nao pia itanibidi niwalete, nao wataisikia sauti yangu. Hivyo patakuwa na kundi moja na mchungaji mmoja. 17 Baba yangu ananipenda kwa kuwa ninautoa uhai wangu ili niupate tena. 18 Hakuna mtu atakayeondoa uhai wangu, bali ninautoa mwenyewe. Ninao uwezo wa kuutoa uhai wangu na pia ninao uwezo wa kuuchukua tena. Hii ni amri niliyopo kea kutoka kwa Baba yangu.”
19 Maneno haya yalisababisha mafarakano tena kati ya Way ahudi. 20 Wengi wao walisema, “Huyu amepagawa na shetani, kwa nini tuendelee kumsikiliza?” 21 Wengine wakasema, “Haya si maneno ya mtu aliyepagawa na shetani. Je, shetani anaweza kumpo nya kipofu?”
Yesu Anajitambulisha
22 Ilikuwa sikukuu ya Utakaso wa Hekalu wakati wa majira ya baridi, 23 na Yesu alikuwa akitembea ndani ya Hekalu katika ukumbi wa Sulemani. 24 Wayahudi wakamzunguka wakamwuliza, “Utatuweka katika hali ya mashaka mpaka lini? Kama wewe ndiye Kristo utuambie wazi wazi.” 25 Yesu akawajibu, “Nimewaambia lakini hamuamini. Mambo ninayoyatenda kwa jina la Baba yangu yan anishuhudia. 26 Lakini hamuamini kwa sababu ninyi si wa kundi la kondoo wangu. 27 Kondoo wangu husikia sauti yangu nami nawajua, nao hunifuata; 28 nami ninawapa uzima wa milele. Hawataangamia kamwe wala hakuna mtu atakayewapokonya kutoka katika mikono yangu. 29 Baba yangu ambaye amenipa hawa ni mkuu kuliko wote na hakuna awezaye kuwatoa hawa kutoka katika mikono yake. 30 Mimi na Baba yangu tu mmoja.”
31 Kwa mara nyingine wale Wayahudi wakainua mawe ili wampige nayo. 32 Yesu akawauliza, “Nimewaonyesha mambo mengi mazuri kutoka kwa Baba yangu. Kati ya hayo ni lipi linalosababisha mtake kunipiga mawe?” 33 Wao wakamjibu, “Tunataka kukupiga mawe si kwa sababu ya mambo mema uliyotenda bali ni kwa kuwa umekufuru. Wewe ni mtu tu lakini unajiita Mungu.”
Wewe ni mtu tu lakini unajiita Mungu.”
34 Yesu akawauliza, “Je, haikuandikwa katika Maandiko yenu ya sheria, ‘Nimesema, ninyi ni miungu’? 35 Ikiwa Maandiko, ambayo ni kweli daima, yanawataja wale waliyoyapokea kuwa ni ‘miungu 36 itakuwaje mseme ninakufuru ninaposema ‘mimi ni Mwana wa Mungu,’ ambapo mimi Baba ameniteua niwe wake na akani tuma ulimwenguni? 37 Ikiwa sifanyi kazi za Baba yangu, basi msi niamini; 38 lakini ikiwa nafanya kazi za Mungu, mziamini hizo; hata kama hamniamini mimi. Mkifanya hivyo, mtaelewa na kutambua kuwa Baba yangu yuko ndani yangu na mimi ni ndani yake.”
39 Kwa mara nyingine Wayahudi wakajaribu kumkamata, lakini yeye aka waponyoka.
40 Kisha akaenda ng’ambo ya mto Yordani mpaka pale mahali ambapo Yohana alianzia kubatiza, akakaa huko. 41 Watu wengi wakamfuata, nao wakawa wakiambiana, “Yohana hakufanya muujiza wo wote, lakini kila jambo alilosema kumhusu huyu mtu ni kweli.” 42 Na wengi wakamwamini Yesu.

John 10

The Good Shepherd and His Sheep
10 “Very truly I tell you Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber.(A) 2 The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.(B) 3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice.(C) He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.(D) 4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.(E) 5 But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.” 6 Jesus used this figure of speech,(F) but the Pharisees did not understand what he was telling them.(G)
7 Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am(H) the gate(I) for the sheep. 8 All who have come before me(J) are thieves and robbers,(K) but the sheep have not listened to them. 9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved.[a] They will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life,(L) and have it to the full.(M)
11 “I am(N) the good shepherd.(O) The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.(P) 12 The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away.(Q) Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. 13 The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep.
14 “I am the good shepherd;(R) I know my sheep(S) and my sheep know me— 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father(T)—and I lay down my life for the sheep.(U) 16 I have other sheep(V) that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock(W) and one shepherd.(X) 17 The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life(Y)—only to take it up again. 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord.(Z) I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.”(AA)
19 The Jews who heard these words were again divided.(AB) 20 Many of them said, “He is demon-possessed(AC) and raving mad.(AD) Why listen to him?”
21 But others said, “These are not the sayings of a man possessed by a demon.(AE) Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”(AF)
Further Conflict Over Jesus’ Claims
22 Then came the Festival of Dedication[b] at Jerusalem. It was winter, 23 and Jesus was in the temple courts walking in Solomon’s Colonnade.(AG) 24 The Jews(AH) who were there gathered around him, saying, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.”(AI)
25 Jesus answered, “I did tell you,(AJ) but you do not believe. The works I do in my Father’s name testify about me,(AK) 26 but you do not believe because you are not my sheep.(AL) 27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them,(AM) and they follow me.(AN) 28 I give them eternal life,(AO) and they shall never perish;(AP) no one will snatch them out of my hand.(AQ) 29 My Father, who has given them to me,(AR) is greater than all[c];(AS) no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. 30 I and the Father are one.”(AT)
31 Again his Jewish opponents picked up stones to stone him,(AU) 32 but Jesus said to them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?”
33 “We are not stoning you for any good work,” they replied, “but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.”(AV)
34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law,(AW) ‘I have said you are “gods”’[d]?(AX) 35 If he called them ‘gods,’ to whom the word of God(AY) came—and Scripture cannot be set aside(AZ)— 36 what about the one whom the Father set apart(BA) as his very own(BB) and sent into the world?(BC) Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’?(BD) 37 Do not believe me unless I do the works of my Father.(BE) 38 But if I do them, even 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.”(BF) 39 Again they tried to seize him,(BG) but he escaped their grasp.(BH)
40 Then Jesus went back across the Jordan(BI) to the place where John had been baptizing in the early days. There he stayed, 41 and many people came to him. They said, “Though John never performed a sign,(BJ) all that John said about this man was true.”(BK) 42 And in that place many believed in Jesus.(BL)
