John 10
English Standard Version
I Am the Good Shepherd
10 “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber. 2 But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the gatekeeper opens. The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. 5 (A)A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.” 6 This figure of speech Jesus (B)used with them, but they (C)did not understand what he was saying to them.
7 So Jesus again said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, (D)I am the door of the sheep. 8 All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9 I am the door. If anyone enters by me, (E)he will be saved and will go in and out and (F)find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and (G)kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. 11 (H)I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd (I)lays down his life for the sheep. 12 He who is (J)a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and (K)leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and (L)scatters them. 13 He flees because (M)he is a hired hand and (N)cares nothing for the sheep. 14 (O)I am the good shepherd. (P)I know my own and (Q)my own know me, 15 (R)just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and (S)I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 And (T)I have other sheep that are not of this fold. (U)I must bring them also, and (V)they will listen to my voice. So there will be (W)one flock, (X)one shepherd. 17 (Y)For this reason the Father loves me, (Z)because (AA)I lay down my life that I may take it up again. 18 (AB)No one takes it from me, but (AC)I lay it down (AD)of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and (AE)I have authority to take it up again. (AF)This charge I have received from my Father.”
19 (AG)There was again a division among the Jews because of these words. 20 Many of them said, (AH)“He has a demon, and (AI)is insane; why listen to him?” 21 Others said, “These are not the words of one who is oppressed by a demon. (AJ)Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”
I and the Father Are One
22 At that time the Feast of Dedication took place at Jerusalem. It was winter, 23 and Jesus was walking in the temple, (AK)in the colonnade of Solomon. 24 So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are (AL)the Christ, (AM)tell us plainly.” 25 Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. (AN)The works that I do (AO)in my Father's name bear witness about me, 26 but (AP)you do not believe because you are not among my sheep. 27 (AQ)My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. 28 (AR)I give them eternal life, and (AS)they will never perish, and (AT)no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, (AU)who has given them to me,[a] (AV)is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of (AW)the Father's hand. 30 (AX)I and the Father are one.”
31 (AY)The Jews picked up stones again to stone him. 32 Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you going to stone me?” 33 The Jews answered him, “It is not for a good work that we are going to stone you but (AZ)for blasphemy, because you, being a man, (BA)make yourself God.” 34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in (BB)your Law, (BC)‘I said, you are gods’? 35 If he called them gods to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be (BD)broken— 36 do you say of him whom (BE)the Father consecrated and (BF)sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because (BG)I said, ‘I am the Son of God’? 37 (BH)If I am not doing the works of my Father, then do not believe me; 38 but if I do them, (BI)even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that (BJ)the Father is in me and I am in the Father.” 39 (BK)Again they sought to arrest him, but he escaped from their hands.
40 He went away again across the Jordan to the place (BL)where John had been baptizing at first, and there he remained. 41 And many came to him. And they said, “John did no sign, but (BM)everything that John said about this man was true.” 42 And (BN)many believed in him there.

Maori Bible
10 He pono, he pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ki te kahore tetahi e tomo ra te kuwaha ki te kainga hipi, ki te piki ke, he tahae ia, he tangata pahua.
2 Tena ko te tangata e tomo ana ra te kuwaha, ko te hepara ia o nga hipi.
3 Ka uaki te kaitiaki tatau ki a ia; ka rongo ano nga hipi ki tona reo: na ka karangatia e ia ana hipi ake, to tenei ingoa, to tenei ingoa, ka arahina ki waho.
4 A ka oti ana ake hipi te tuku ki waho, ka haere ia i mua i a ratou, ka aru nga hipi i a ia: e matau ana hoki ratou ki tona reo.
5 E kore ia ratou e aru i te tauhou, engari ka oma i a ia: e kore hoki e matau ki te reo o nga tauhou.
6 I korerotia tenei kupu whakarite e Ihu ki a ratou: heoi kihai ratou i mohio ki nga mea i korerotia e ia ki a ratou.
7 Na ka mea ano a Ihu ki a ratou, He pono, he pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ko ahau te tatau o nga hipi.
8 He tahae, he kaipahua te hunga katoa i haere mai i mua i ahau: heoi kihai nga hipi i whakarongo ki a ratou.
9 Ko ahau te tatau: ki te waiho ahau hei huarahi tomokanga mo tetahi, e ora ia, a ka haere ki roto, ka haere ki waho, ka kite hoki i te kai.
10 Heoi ano ta te tahae e haere mai ai, he tahae, he patu, he whakamoti hoki: i haere mai ahau kia whiwhi ai ratou ki te ora, ina, tona nui noa atu.
11 Ko ahau te hepara pai, he hepara pai, ka tuku i a ia ano kia mate mo nga hipi.
12 Tena ko te tangata e utua ana, ehara nei i te hepara, ehara nei i a ia nga hipi, i tona kitenga i te wuruhi e haere mai ana, whakarerea ake e ia nga hipi, oma ana: na ka hopukia ratou e te wuruhi, a whakamararatia ana nga hipi.
13 Ka oma te tangata e utua ana, no te mea e utua ana ia, kahore hoki ona whakaaro ki nga hipi.
14 Ko ahau te hepara pai, e matau ana hoki ki aku, a e matau ana aku ki ahau.
15 Pera tonu me to te Matua matau ki ahau, me toku matau hoki ki te Matua: e tuku ana hoki ahau i ahau ki te mate mo nga hipi.
16 He hipi atu ano aku, ehara nei i tenei kainga: me arahi mai ratou e ahau, a ka rongo ratou ki toku reo; a e whakakotahitia te kahui, kotahi ano hoki hepara.
17 Koia te Matua ka aroha mai ai ki ahau, no te mea e tuku ana ahau i ahau kia mate, kia whakaora ake ai ano ahau i ahau.
18 Ehara i te mea ma tetahi tangata ahau e whakamate, engari maku ano ahau e tuku ki te mate. Kei ahau te tikanga mo te tuku atu, kei ahau ano te tikanga mo te whakaora. Na toku matua tenei ture kua riro mai nei i ahau.
19 Katahi ka wehewehea nga Hurai, na enei kupu.
20 He tokomaha o ratou i mea, He rewera tona, e haurangi ana; he aha koutou ka whakarongo ai ki a ia?
21 Ko etahi i mea, Ehara enei i nga kupu a te tangata e nohoia ana e te rewera. E ahei koia i te rewera te mea i nga kanohi o nga matapo kia kite?
22 Na i Hiruharama tenei, i te hakari horohoronga: he hotoke;
23 A e haereere ana a Ihu i te temepara, i te whakamahau o Horomona.
24 Na ka karapotia ia e nga Hurai, ka mea ratou ki a ia, Kia pehea te roa o tau waiho i o matou ngakau kia hikirangi ana? Ki te mea ko te Karaiti koe, korerotia matanuitia mai ki a matou.
25 Ka whakahoki a Ihu ki a ratou, Kua korerotia e ahau ki a koutou, a kahore koutou e whakapono: ko nga mahi e mahi nei ahau i runga i te ingoa o toku Matua, ko enei hei kaiwhakaatu moku.
26 Otira e kore koutou e whakapono, no te mea ehara koutou i te hipi naku.
27 E rongo ana aku hipi ki toku reo, e matau ana ahau ki a ratou, e aru ana hoki ratou i ahau:
28 E hoatu ana e ahau ki a ratou he ora tonu; e kore ratou e ngaro ake ake, e kore ano hoki tetahi e kapo atu i a ratou i roto i toku ringa.
29 Ko toku Matua, nana nei ratou i homai ki ahau, nui ake i te katoa; e kore ano ratou e taea e tetahi te kapo atu i roto i te ringa o toku Matua.
30 Ko ahau, ko te Matua, kotahi maua.
31 Katahi ka mau ano nga Hurai ki te kohatu hei aki ki a ia.
32 Ka whakahokia e Ihu ki a ratou, He maha nga mahi pai kua whakakitea nei e ahau ki a koutou, he mea na toku Matua; mo tehea o aua mahi ka akina ai ahau e koutou?
33 Ka whakahoki nga Hurai ki a ia, ka mea, Ehara te mahi pai i te mea e akina ai koe; engari mo te kohukohu; mo te mea hoki ko koe, tangata nei ano, e whakaatua ana i a koe.
34 Ka whakahokia e Ihu ki a ratou, Kahore ranei i tuhituhia i roto i to koutou ture, I mea ahau, he atua koutou?
35 Ki te huaina e ia he atua te hunga i tae mai nei te kupu a te Atua ki a ratou, a e kore hoki e taea te whakakahore te karaipiture,
36 E mea ana oti koutou ki ta te Matua i whakatapu ai, i tono mai ai hoki ki te ao, E kohukohu ana koe; noku i mea, Ko te Tama ahau a te Atua?
37 Ki te kore ahau e mahi i nga mahi a toku Matua, aua ahau e whakaponohia.
38 Tena ki te mahi ahau, ahakoa kahore koutou e whakapono ki ahau, whakaponohia nga mahi: kia matau ai koutou, kia whakapono ai, ko te Matua kei roto i ahau, me ahau hoki kei roto i a ia.
39 Na ka whai ano ratou kia hopukia ia: heoi puta ana ia i o ratou ringa;
40 Na ka haere ano ia ki tawahi o Horano, ki te wahi i matua iriiri ai a Hoani; a noho ana i reira.
41 He tokomaha hoki i haere ki a ia; i mea ratou, Kihai a Hoani i mahi i tetahi merekara; he pono ia nga mea katoa i korerotia e Hoani mo tenei.
42 A he tokomaha o reira i whakapono ki a ia.
