John 10
Lexham English Bible
Jesus as the Good Shepherd
10 “Truly, truly I say to you, the one who does not enter through the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up at some other place—that one is a thief and a robber. 2 But the one who enters through the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 For this one the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 Whenever he sends out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice. 5 And they will never follow a stranger, but will flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.” 6 Jesus told them this parable, but they did not understand what it was that he was saying to them.
7 Then Jesus said to them[a] again, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All those who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep do not listen to them. 9 I am the door. If anyone enters through me, he will be saved, and will come in and will go out and will find pasture. 10 The thief comes only[b] so that he can steal and kill and destroy; I have come so that they may have life, and have it[c] abundantly.
11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12 The hired hand, who is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf approaching and abandons the sheep and runs away—and the wolf seizes them and scatters them[d]— 13 because he is a hired hand and he is not concerned[e] about the sheep.
14 “I am the good shepherd, and I know my own, and my own know me, 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father, and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 And I have other sheep which are not from this fold. I must bring these also, and they will hear my voice, and they will become one flock—one shepherd. 17 Because of this the Father loves me, because I lay down my life so that I may take possession of it again. 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down voluntarily.[f] I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take possession of it again. This commandment I received from my Father.”
19 Again there was a division among the Jews because of these words. 20 And many of them were saying, “He has a demon and is out of his mind! Why do you listen to him?” 21 Others were saying, “These are not the words of one who is possessed by a demon! A demon is not able to open the eyes of the blind, is it?”[g]
Jesus at the Feast of the Dedication
22 Then the feast of the Dedication took place in Jerusalem. It was winter, 23 and Jesus was walking in the temple in the Portico of Solomon. 24 So the Jews surrounded him and began to say[h] to him, “How long will you keep us in suspense?[i] If you are the Christ, tell us plainly!” 25 Jesus answered them, “I told you and you do not believe! The deeds that I do in the name of my Father, these testify about me. 26 But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep! 27 My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. 28 And I give them eternal life, and they will never perish forever,[j] and no one will seize them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them[k] to me, is greater than all, and no one can seize them[l] from the Father’s hand. 30 The Father and I are one.”
31 Then[m] the Jews picked up stones again so that they could stone him. 32 Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good deeds from the Father. For which one of them are you going to stone me?” 33 The Jews answered him, “We are not going to stone you concerning a good deed, but concerning blasphemy, and because you, although you[n] are a man, make yourself to be God!” 34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods”’?[o] 35 If he called them ‘gods’ to whom the word of God came—and the scripture cannot be broken— 36 do you say about he whom the Father set apart and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’? 37 If I do not do the deeds of my Father, do not believe me. 38 But if I am doing them,[p] even if you do not believe me, believe the deeds, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.” 39 So they were seeking again to seize him, and he departed out of their hand.
40 And he went away again on the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John was baptizing at an earlier time, and he stayed there. 41 And many came to him and began to say,[q] “John performed no sign, but everything John said about this man was true!” 42 And many believed in him there.

Yooxanaa 10
Somali Bible
Xerada Adhiga
10 Runtii, runtii, waxaan idinku leeyahay, Kii aan xerada idaha illinka ka soo gelin ee meel kale ka soo fuulaa, kaasi waa tuug iyo waxdhace. 2 Laakiin kii illinka ka soo galaa waa adhijirka idaha. 3 Illinjoogaha ayaa isaga illinka ka fura, iduhuna codkiisay maqlaan, idihiisana magacyadooda ayuu ugu yeedhaa, oo dibadduu u kaxeeyaa. 4 Markuu kuwiisa wada saaro, wuu hor kacaa, iduhuna way raacaan, waayo, codkiisay garanayaan. 5 Nin qalaadna raaci maayaan, laakiin way ka cararayaan, waayo, codka kuwa qalaad garan maayaan. 6 Masaalkaas Ciise ayaa kula hadlay iyaga, laakiin ma ay garan waxyaaluhuu kala hadlayay xaggooda.
Adhijirka Wanaagsan
7 Haddaba Ciise ayaa mar kale ku yidhi, Runtii, runtii, waxaan idinku leeyahay, Waxaan ahay illinka iduhu ka soo galaan. 8 Kuwii hortay yimid oo dhammu waa tuugag iyo waxdhacayaal, iduhuse ma maqlin. 9 Waxaan ahay illinka, haddii qof uun xaggayga ka soo galo, wuu badbaadi doonaa, wuuna soo geli doonaa oo bixi doonaa, daaq buuna heli doonaa. 10 Tuuggu wax kale uma yimaado inuu wax xado oo dilo oo halleeyo mooyaane, aniguse waxaan u imid inay nolosha haystaan oo ay badnaan u haystaan.
11 Waxaan ahay adhijirka wanaagsan. Adhijirka wanaagsanu wuxuu naftiisa u bixiyaa idaha daraaddood. 12 Kan ciidanka ah oo aan adhijirka ahayn, iduhuna aanay kuwiisa ahayn, kolkuu arko yeeyda oo soo socota, wuu ka tagaa idaha oo ka cararaa. Markaasay yeeydu qabsataa oo kala firdhisaa iyaga. 13 Wuu cararaa, waayo, isagu waa ciidan uun, oo idaha waxba kama gelin. 14 Waxaan ahay adhijirka wanaagsan; waan garanayaa kuwayga, kuwayguna waa i garanayaan, 15 sida Aabbuhu ii garanayo, anna aan Aabbaha u garanayo; oo naftaydana waan u bixiyaa idaha daraaddood. 16 Ido kale ayaan leeyahay oo aan kuwa xeradan ahayn, kuwaasna waa inaan keenaa, waxayna maqli doonaan codkayga, oo waxaa jiri doona adhi keliya iyo adhijir keliya.
17 Sidaas daraaddeed Aabbuhu waa i jecel yahay, waayo, naftaydaan bixiyaa inaan mar kale qaato. 18 Ninna igama qaado, laakiin anaa iska bixiya. Waxaan leeyahay amar aan ku bixiyo, waanan leeyahay amar aan haddana ku soo qaato. Amarkan waxaan ka helay Aabbahay.
19 Yuhuuddu haddana way kala qaybsameen hadalladaas aawadood. 20 Badidood waxay yidhaahdeen, Jinni buu qabaa, wuuna waalan yahay, ee maxaad u maqlaysaan? 21 Qaar kale waxay yidhaahdeen, Hadalladaasu ma aha kuwa nin jinni qaba. Jinni miyuu indhaha u furi karaa nin indha la'?
Ciise Oo Yeruusaalem Joogay Wakhtigii Iidda Daahirinta Macbudka
22 Waxay ahayd Iidda Daahirinta Macbudka xagga Yeruusaalem, waxayna ahayd wakhtiga qabowga. 23 Ciisena wuxuu dhex socday macbudka xagga Balbalada Sulaymaan. 24 Yuhuuddu haddaba waxay isugu soo urureen hareerihiisa oo ku yidhaahdeen, Tan iyo goormaad shaki nagu sii wadi doontaa? Haddii aad Masiixa tahay bayaan noogu sheeg. 25 Ciise ayaa ugu jawaabay, Waan idiin sheegay, idinkuse ma rumaysnidin. Shuqullada aan magaca Aabbahay ku sameeyo ayaa ii marag fura, 26 laakiin ma rumaysnidin, waayo, idahayga ka mid ma ihidin. 27 Idahaygu codkaygay maqlaan, waanan garanayaa iyaga, wayna i raacaan. 28 Oo waxaan iyaga siiyaa nolosha weligeed ah, weligoodna ma lumi doonaan, oo ninna kama dhufsan doono gacantayda. 29 Aabbahaygii i siiyey iyaga ayaa wax walba ka weyn, oo ninna kama dhufsan karo gacanta Aabbahay. 30 Aniga iyo Aabbuhu mid baannu nahay.
Colaaddii Yuhuudda
31 Markaasay Yuhuuddu haddana dhagaxyo u gurteen inay dhagxiyaan. 32 Ciise ayaa ugu jawaabay, Shuqullo badan oo wanaagsan ayaan idinka tusay xagga Aabbahay. Shuqulladaas kee baad igu dhagxinaysaan? 33 Yuhuuddu waxay ugu jawaabeen, Shuqul wanaagsan aawadiis kugu dhagxin mayno, laakiin caytanka aawadiis iyo inaad adigoo nin ah Ilaah iska dhigayso. 34 Ciise wuxuu ugu jawaabay, Miyaanay ku qorrayn sharcigiinna, Waxaan idhi, Idinku waxaad tihiin ilaahyo? 35 Hadduu Ilaah kuwii ereygiisu u yimid ku sheegay ilaahyo (oo Qorniinkana lama jebin karo), 36 ma waxaad ku leedihiin kii Aabbuhu quduus ka dhigay oo xagga dunida u soo diray, Waad caytantaa, waayo, waxaan idhi, Wiilka Ilaah baan ahay? 37 Haddaanan samayn shuqullada Aabbahay, ha i rumaysanina. 38 Laakiin haddaan sameeyo, in kastoo aydnaan i rumaysanayn, shuqullada rumaysta, inaad ogaataan oo garataan in Aabbuhu igu jiro, anna Aabbaha aan ku jiro. 39 Sidaa aawadeed mar kale ayay dooneen inay qabtaan, wuuna ka baxsaday gacantooda.
40 Haddana wuxuu u baxay Webi Urdun shishadiisa ilaa meeshii Yooxanaa markii hore ku jiray, isagoo dad ku baabtiisaya, meeshaasuuna joogay, 41 oo qaar badan baa u yimid isaga, waxayna ku yidhaahdeen, Runtii Yooxanaa calaamo ma samayn, laakiin wax walba oo Yooxanaa ka yidhi ninkan run bay ahaayeen. 42 Kuwa badan baana halkaa ku rumaystay isaga.
