| 10:1 |
“Amen, amen, mi diras al vi, kiu ne eniras tra la pordo en la gregejon de la ŝafoj, sed grimpas supren per alia vojo, li estas ŝtelisto kaj rabisto. |
| 10:2 |
Sed kiu eniras tra la pordo, tiu estas la paŝtisto de la ŝafoj. |
| 10:3 |
Al li malfermas la pordisto, kaj la ŝafoj aŭdas lian voĉon, kaj li nomas siajn sxafojn per la nomo, kaj li elkondukas ilin. |
| 10:4 |
Kaj kiam li forsendos siajn sxafojn, li iras antaŭ ili, kaj la ŝafoj sekvas lin, ĉar ili konas lian voĉon. |
| 10:5 |
Sed ili ne sekvas fremdulon; anstataŭe ili forkuras de li, ĉar ili ne konas la voĉon de fremduloj.” |
| 10:6 |
Jesuo diris ĉi tiun proverbon al ili. Sed ili ne komprenis, kion li diris al ili. |
| 10:7 |
Tial, Jesuo denove parolis al ili: “Amen, amen, mi diras al vi, ke mi estas la pordo de la ŝafoj. |
| 10:8 |
Ĉiuj aliaj, tiom, kiuj venis, estas ŝtelistoj kaj rabistoj, kaj la ŝafoj ne aŭskultis ilin. |
| 10:9 |
Mi estas la pordo. Se iu eniris tra mi, li estos savita. Kaj li eniros kaj eliros, kaj li trovos paŝtaĵojn. |
| 10:10 |
La ŝtelisto ne venas, krom por ke li ŝtelu kaj buĉu kaj pereigu. Mi venis, por ke ili havu vivon, kaj havu ĝin pli abunde. |
| 10:11 |
I am the good Shepherd. The good Shepherd gives his life for his sheep. |
| 10:12 |
But the hired hand, and whoever is not a shepherd, to whom the sheep do not belong, he sees the wolf approaching, and he departs from the sheep and flees. And the wolf ravages and scatters the sheep. |
| 10:13 |
And the hired hand flees, because he is a hired hand and there is no concern for the sheep within him. |
| 10:14 |
I am the good Shepherd, and I know my own, and my own know me, |
| 10:15 |
just as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. And I lay down my life for my sheep. |
| 10:16 |
And I have other sheep that are not of this fold, and I must lead them. They shall hear my voice, and there shall be one sheepfold and one shepherd. |
| 10:17 |
Tial, the Father loves me: because I lay down my life, so that I may take it up again. |
| 10:18 |
No one takes it away from me. Anstataŭe, I lay it down of my own accord. And I have the power to lay it down. And I have the power to take it up again. This is the commandment that I have received from my Father.” |
| 10:19 |
A dissension occurred again among the Jews because of these words. |
| 10:20 |
Then many of them were saying: “He has a demon or he is insane. Why do you listen him?” |
| 10:21 |
Others were saying: “These are not the words of someone who has a demon. How would a demon be able to open the eyes of the blind?” |
| 10:22 |
Now it was the Feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem, and it was winter. |
| 10:23 |
And Jesus was walking in the temple, in the portico of Solomon. |
| 10:24 |
And so the Jews surrounded him and said to him: “How long will you hold our souls in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.” |
| 10:25 |
Jesus answered them: “I speak to you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in the name of my Father, these offer testimony about me. |
| 10:26 |
But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep. |
| 10:27 |
My sheep hear my voice. And I know them, and they follow me. |
| 10:28 |
And I give them eternal life, and they shall not perish, for eternity. And no one shall seize them from my hand. |
| 10:29 |
What my Father gave to me is greater than all, and no one is able to seize from the hand of my Father. |
| 10:30 |
I and the Father are one.” |
| 10:31 |
Tial, the Jews took up stones, in order to stone him. |
| 10:32 |
Jesus answered them: “I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?” |
| 10:33 |
The Jews answered him: “We do not stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy and because, though you are a man, you make yourself God.” |
| 10:34 |
Jesus responded to them: “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said: you are gods?’ |
| 10:35 |
If he called those to whom the word of God was given gods, and Scripture cannot be broken, |
| 10:36 |
why do you say, about him whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You have blasphemed,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God?’ |
| 10:37 |
If I do not do the works of my Father, do not believe in me. |
| 10:38 |
But if I do them, even if you are not willing to believe in me, believe the works, so that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I am in the Father.” |
| 10:39 |
Tial, they sought to apprehend him, but he escaped from their hands. |
| 10:40 |
And he went again across the Jordan, to that place where John first was baptizing. And he lodged there. |
| 10:41 |
And many went out to him. And they were saying: “Indeed, John accomplished no signs. |
| 10:42 |
But all things whatsoever that John said about this man were true.” And many believed in him. |
