1“Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever does not enter the sheepfold by the gate, but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber.
1Loktang to, loktang ah, kang thuih o, Tuu khongkha thung hoi akun ai, kalah loklam hoiah daw tahang kami loe, kamqu hoi mingcahnawk ni.
2But the one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.
2Toe tuutoep kami loe tuu khongkha thung hoiah ni akunh.
3The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen for his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
3Khongkha toep kami mah anih hanah thok to paongh pae; tuunawk mah anih ih lok to tahngai pae o: anih loe angmah ih tuunawk to ahmin hoiah kawk moe, tasa bangah caeh haih.
4When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.
4A tuunawk tasa bangah caeh haih naah, nihcae hmaa ah a caeh pae, tuunawk mah anih ih lok to maat o pongah, anih hnukah bang o.
5But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will flee from him because they do not recognize his voice.”
5Tuunawk loe hnuk vai ai ih kami hnukah natuek naah doeh bang o mak ai, a lok to maat o ai pongah, cawn o taak tih, tiah a naa.
6Jesus spoke to them using this illustration, but they did not understand what He was telling them.
6Jesu mah nihcae khaeah, Hae patahhaih lok hae a thuih pae, toe nihcae khaeah a thuih pae ih lok to nihcae mah thaih pae o kop ai.
7So He said to them again, “Truly, truly, I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep.
7To pacoengah Jesu mah nihcae khaeah, Loktang to, loktang ah, kang thuih o, Kai loe tuu khongkha ah ka oh.
8All who came before Me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.
8Kai hmaa ah angzo kaminawk boih loe kamqu hoi mingcahnawk ni: tuunawk mah nihcae ih lok to tahngai pae o ai.
9I am the gate. If anyone enters through Me, he will be saved. He will come in and go out and find pasture.
9Kai loe khongkha ah ka oh: mi kawbaktih doeh kai thung hoiah akun kami loe, pahlonghaih hnu tih, a thungah caeh ueloe, tacawt tih, to pacoengah rawkcak caakhaih kahoih ahmuen to hnu tih.
10The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come that they may have life, and have it in all its fullness.
10Kamqu loe paquk han ih, hum han ih hoi paro han ih ni angzoh: Kai loe nihcae hinghaih tawnh o moe, pop aep ah a tawnh o han ih ni kang zoh.
11I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.
11Kai loe kahoih tuutoepkung ah ka oh: kahoih tuutoepkung loe tuunawk hanah a hinghaih to paek.
12The hired hand is not the shepherd, and the sheep are not his own. When he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf pounces on them and scatters the flock.
12Tuutoep kami ai, tuu tawnkung doeh na ai, thlai ih kami loe kangzo tasui to hnuk naah, tuunawk to prawtsut moe, cawnh taak ving: tasui mah tuunawk to kaek moe, tuunawk to ampraeksak phang.
13The man runs away because he is a hired servant and is unconcerned for the sheep.
13Thlai ih kami loe thlai ih kami ah oh pongah, tuunawk to dawncang ai.
14I am the good shepherd. I know My sheep and My sheep know Me,
14Kai loe kahoih tuutoepkung ah ka oh; Kai mah ih tuunawk to Ka panoek, tuunawk mah doeh kai ang panoek o.
15just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father. And I lay down My life for the sheep.
15Pa mah Kai ang panoek baktih toengah, Pa to Ka panoek, Ka hinghaih to tuunawk hanah ka paek.
16I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them in as well, and they will listen to My voice. Then there will be one flock and one shepherd.
16Hae tuu khongkha thungah kathum ai, kalah tuunawk doeh Ka tawnh: nihcae doeh Ka hoih han oh vop, nihcae mah ka lok to tahngai o tih; to pacoengah loe tuu khongkha maeto hoi tuutoepkung maeto ni om tih boeh.
17The reason the Father loves Me is that I lay down My life in order to take it up again.
17Ka hinghaih ka paek pongah, Kam Pa mah Kai ang palung, to hinghaih to ka lak let han.
18No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of My own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from My Father.”
18Mi mah doeh kai khae hoi lomh mak ai, Kaimah koehah ni hinghaih to ka paek. Ka paek thaih baktih toengah, lak let thaihaih doeh ka tawnh. Kam Pa khae hoiah ni hae lokpaekhaih hae Ka hnuk, tiah a naa.
19Again there was division among the Jews because of Jesus’ message.
19Hae a thuih ih loknawk pongah Judah kaminawk salakah ampraekhaih to oh let.
20Many of them said, “He is demon-possessed and insane. Why would you listen to Him?”
20Paroeai kaminawk mah, Anih loe taqawk tawnh moe, amthu boeh; tih hanah a lok to na tahngai pae o khing loe? tiah naa o.
21But others replied, “These are not the words of a man possessed by a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”
21Kalah kaminawk mah loe, Hae loknawk loe taqawk tawn kami mah thuih ih lok na ai ni. Taqawk mah loe mikmaeng to mik amtuengsak thai tih maw? tiah thuih o.
22At that time the Feast of Dedication took place in Jerusalem. It was winter,
22Siktue phak naah loe, Jerusalem ah angpaekhaih poih to oh.
23and Jesus was walking in the temple courts in Solomon’s Colonnade.
23Jesu loe tempul thung ih Solomon impoem ta ah amkaeh.
24So the Jews gathered around Him and demanded, “How long will You keep us in suspense? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly.”
24To naah Judahnawk mah anih to takui o moe, anih khaeah, Nasetto maw kaicae palung nang haengsak han vop? Kri ah na oh nahaeloe, kamnoek ah na thui ah, tiah a naa o.
25“I already told you,” Jesus replied, “but you did not believe. The works I do in My Father’s name testify on My behalf.
25Jesu mah nihcae khaeah, Kang thuih o boeh, toe nang tang o ai: Kam Pa ih ahmin hoiah ka sak ih toknawk loe, Kai hnukung ah oh o.
26But because you are not My sheep, you refuse to believe.
26Toe kang thuih o baktiah, Kai ih tuu ah na om o ai pongah, Kang thuih o ih lok to na tang o ai.
27My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me.
27Kai ih tuunawk loe Ka lok to tahngai o, nihcae to Ka panoek, nihcae loe Ka hnukah bang o.
28I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them out of My hand.
28Dungzan hinghaih to nihcae hanah ka paek; nihcae loe natuek naah doeh anghmaa o mak ai, mi mah doeh Ka ban thung hoiah lomh mak ai.
29My Father who has given them to Me is greater than all. No one can snatch them out of My Father’s hand.
29Nihcae kai khaeah paekkung, Kam Pa loe, tih boih pongah len kue; mi mah doeh nihcae to Kam Pa ban thung hoiah lomh thai mak ai.
30I and the Father are one.”
30Kai hoi Kam Pa loe maeto ni, tiah a naa.
31At this, the Jews again picked up stones to stone Him.
31To naah Judahnawk mah Anih vah hanah thlung akhui o let.
32But Jesus responded, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone Me?”
32Jesu mah nihcae khaeah, Kam Pa khae hoi ih paroeai kahoih toknawk to kang patuek o boeh; kawbaktih tok pongah maw Kai thlung hoiah nang va o han? tiah a naa.
33“We are not stoning You for any good work,” said the Jews, “but for blasphemy, because You, who are a man, declare Yourself to be God.”
33Judahnawk mah anih khaeah, Kahoih tok pongah thlung hoi kang va o mak ai; toe nang loe Sithaw ih ahmin kasae na thuih; kami ah na oh to mah, nangmah hoi nangmah to Sithaw ah nang sak pongah ni, tiah a naa o.
34Jesus replied, “Is it not written in your Law: ‘I have said you are gods’?
34Jesu mah nihcae khaeah, Nangcae loe sithawnawk ah na oh o, tiah Ka thuih, tiah nangmacae ih kaalok thungah tarik ih lok to oh na ai maw?
35If he called them gods to whom the word of God came—and the Scripture cannot be broken—
35Anih mah nihcae to sithawnawk, tiah kawk nahaeloe, mi khaeah maw Sithaw lok to angzoh, Cabu loe amro thai mak ai;
36then what about the One whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world? How then can you accuse Me of blasphemy for stating that I am the Son of God?
36ampa mah ciimcaisak moe, long nuiah patoeh ih kami mah, Kai loe Sithaw Capa ah ka oh, tiah Ka thuih pongah maw, Sithaw ih ahmin kasae na thuih, tiah nang naa o?
37If I am not doing the works of My Father, then do not believe Me.
37Kam Pa ih tok to ka sah ai nahaeloe, na tang o hmah.
38But if I am doing them, even though you do not believe Me, believe the works themselves, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I am in the Father.”
38Toe a tok to ka sak pae nahaeloe, Kai nang tang o ai cadoeh, ka sak ih toknawk to tang oh; to tiah nahaeloe Pa Kai thungah oh moe, Kai doeh Anih thungah ka oh, tito na panoek o thai tih, tiah a naa.
39At this, they tried again to seize Him, but He escaped their grasp.
39To pongah nihcae mah Anih naeh hanah pakrong o let: toe Anih loe nihcae ban thung hoiah loih.
40Then Jesus went back across the Jordan to the place where John had first been baptizing, and He stayed there.
40Anih loe Johan mah tuinuem paek tangsuekhaih Jordan vapui yaeh ah caeh moe, toah oh.
41Many came to Him and said, “Although John never performed a sign, everything he said about this man was true.”
41To pacoengah paroeai kaminawk anih khaeah angzoh o moe, Johan loe dawnrai hmuen sah vai ai: toe Johan mah thuih ih hae kami kawngnawk boih loe amsoem, tiah a thuih o.
42And many in that place believed in Jesus.
42To ahmuen ah paroeai kaminawk mah Anih to tang o.
