John 10
New King James Version
Jesus the True Shepherd
10 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 2 But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by (A)name and leads them out. 4 And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. 5 Yet they will by no means follow a (B)stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.” 6 Jesus used this illustration, but they did not understand the things which He spoke to them.
Jesus the Good Shepherd
7 Then Jesus said to them again, “Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All who ever came [a]before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. 9 (C)I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
11 (D)“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep. 12 But a [b]hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and (E)leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them. 13 The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep. 14 I am the good shepherd; and (F)I know My sheep, and (G)am known by My own. 15 (H)As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; (I)and I lay down My life for the sheep. 16 And (J)other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; (K)and there will be one flock and one shepherd.
17 “Therefore My Father (L)loves Me, (M)because I lay down My life that I may take it again. 18 No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I (N)have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. (O)This command I have received from My Father.”
19 Therefore (P)there was a division again among the Jews because of these sayings. 20 And many of them said, (Q)“He has a demon and is [c]mad. Why do you listen to Him?”
21 Others said, “These are not the words of one who has a demon. (R)Can a demon (S)open the eyes of the blind?”
The Shepherd Knows His Sheep
22 Now it was the Feast of Dedication in Jerusalem, and it was winter. 23 And Jesus walked in the temple, (T)in Solomon’s porch. 24 Then the Jews surrounded Him and said to Him, “How long do You keep us in [d]doubt? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly.”
25 Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. (U)The works that I do in My Father’s name, they (V)bear witness of Me. 26 But (W)you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep, [e]as I said to you. 27 (X)My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. 28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. 29 (Y)My Father, (Z)who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand. 30 (AA)I and My Father are one.”
Renewed Efforts to Stone Jesus
31 Then (AB)the Jews took up stones again to stone Him. 32 Jesus answered them, “Many good works I have shown you from My Father. For which of those works do you stone Me?”
33 The Jews answered Him, saying, “For a good work we do not stone You, but for (AC)blasphemy, and because You, being a Man, (AD)make Yourself God.”
34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, (AE)‘I said, “You are gods” ’? 35 If He called them gods, (AF)to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture (AG)cannot be broken), 36 do you say of Him (AH)whom the Father sanctified and (AI)sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ (AJ)because I said, ‘I am (AK)the Son of God’? 37 (AL)If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me; 38 but if I do, though you do not believe Me, (AM)believe the works, that you may know and [f]believe (AN)that the Father is in Me, and I in Him.” 39 (AO)Therefore they sought again to seize Him, but He escaped out of their hand.
The Believers Beyond Jordan
40 And He went away again beyond the Jordan to the place (AP)where John was baptizing at first, and there He stayed. 41 Then many came to Him and said, “John performed no sign, (AQ)but all the things that John spoke about this Man were true.” 42 And many believed in Him there.

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.
