Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1“Most certainly, I tell you, one who doesn’t enter by the door into the sheep fold, but climbs up some other way, is a thief and a robber.
1“Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Ko ia ʻoku ʻikai hū ʻi he matapā ki he lotoʻā sipi, ka ʻoku kaka hake ʻi he hala kehe, ko e kaihaʻa ia mo e fakamālohi.
2But one who enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
2Ka ko ia ʻoku hū ʻi he matapā, ko e tauhi ia ʻoe fanga sipi.
3The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
3ʻOku toʻo kiate ia ʻe he leʻo; pea fanongo ki hono leʻo ʻae fanga sipi pea ʻoku ne ui ʻae sipi ʻaʻana ʻi honau hingoa ʻo ne tataki atu ʻakinautolu.
4Whenever he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
4Pea ka tuku atu ʻe ia ʻene sipi ʻaʻana ʻoku ʻalu muʻomuʻa ia ʻiate kinautolu, pea muimui ʻae sipi ʻiate ia: he ʻoku nau ʻilo hono leʻo.”
5They will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him; for they don’t know the voice of strangers.”
5Pea ʻe ʻikai te nau muimui ʻi ha foʻou, ka te nau hola meiate ia: he ʻoku ʻikai te nau ʻilo ʻae leʻo ʻoe foʻou.
6Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they didn’t understand what he was telling them.
6Naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe Sisu ʻae fakatātā ni kiate kinautolu: ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo hono ʻuhinga ʻo ʻene lea kiate kinautolu.
7Jesus therefore said to them again, “Most certainly, I tell you, I am the sheep’s door.
7Pea toe tala ai ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, Ko au ko e matapā ki he fanga sipi.
8All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn’t listen to them.
8Ko kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe muʻomuʻa ʻiate au, ko e kau kaihaʻa mo e fakamālohi: ka naʻe ʻikai fanongo ʻae fanga sipi kiate kinautolu.
9I am the door. If anyone enters in by me, he will be saved, and will go in and go out and will find pasture.
9Ko au pe ko e matapā: pea ko ia ʻe hū ange ʻiate au, ʻe moʻui ia, pea ʻe feʻaluʻaki ai pe ia, ʻo maʻu ʻae meʻakai.
10The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.
10ʻOku ʻikai haʻu ʻae kaihaʻa, ka ke kaihaʻasi, pea ke tāmateʻi, pea ke fakaʻauha: kuo u haʻu au ke nau maʻu ʻae moʻui, pea ke nau maʻu ia ʻo lahi ʻaupito.
11“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
11“Ko au ko e tauhi lelei: ʻoku foaki ʻe he tauhi lelei ʻa ʻene moʻui koeʻuhi ko e fanga sipi.
12He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who doesn’t own the sheep, sees the wolf coming, leaves the sheep, and flees. The wolf snatches the sheep and scatters them.
12Ka ko ia ʻoku unga ki he ngāue, ka ʻoku ʻikai ko e tauhi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ʻaʻana ʻae fanga sipi, ʻoku mamata ia ʻoku haʻu ʻae ulofi, pea siʻaki ʻae fanga sipi, kae hola: pea moʻua ia ʻe he ulofi, ʻo fakahēʻi ʻae fanga sipi.
13The hired hand flees because he is a hired hand and doesn’t care for the sheep.
13ʻOku hola ʻae unga ngāue, koeʻuhi ko e unga ngāue pe ia, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻofa ia ki he fanga sipi.
14I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and I’m known by my own;
14Ko au ko e tauhi lelei; pea hangē ʻoku ʻilo au ʻe he Tamai, peau ʻilo foki ʻae Tamai,
15even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.
15ʻOku pehē ʻa ʻeku ʻilo ʻaia ʻoku ʻaʻaku, mo e ʻilo au ʻekinautolu: pea ʻoku ou tuku hifo ʻeku moʻui koeʻuhi ko e fanga sipi.
16I have other sheep which are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will hear my voice. They will become one flock with one shepherd.
16Pea ʻoku ai mo ʻeku fanga sipi kehe, ʻoku ʻikai ʻi he lotoʻā ko eni: te u ʻomi ʻakinautolu foki, pea te nau fanongo ki hoku leʻo; pea ʻe ai ʻae lotoʻā pe taha, mo e tauhi pe taha.”
17Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
17Ko ia ʻoku ʻofa ai ʻa ʻeku Tamai kiate au, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku tuku hifo ʻeku moʻui, kau toe toʻo ia.
18No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down by myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. I received this commandment from my Father.”
18ʻOku ʻikai ke toʻo ia ʻe ha taha ʻiate au, ka ʻoku ou tuku hifo ia ʻeau pe. ʻOku ou mafai ke tuku hifo ia, pea ʻoku ou mafai ke toe toʻo ia. Ko e fekau ni kuo u maʻu mei heʻeku Tamai.”
19Therefore a division arose again among the Jews because of these words.
19¶ Pea naʻe toe fakakikihi ʻae kakai Siu, ko e meʻa ʻi he ngaahi lea ni.
20Many of them said, “He has a demon and is insane! Why do you listen to him?”
20Pea pehē ʻe honau tokolahi, “ʻOku ʻiate ia ha tēvolo, pea ʻoku faha; ko e hā ʻoku mou fanongo ai kiate ia?”
21Others said, “These are not the sayings of one possessed by a demon. It isn’t possible for a demon to open the eyes of the blind, is it?”
21Pea pehē ʻe he niʻihi, “ʻOku ʻikai ko e lea eni ʻa ha taha ʻoku ʻi ai ha tēvolo. ʻE mafai ʻe ha tēvolo ke fakaʻā ʻae mata ʻoe kui?”
22It was the Feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem.
22¶ Pea naʻe fai ʻi Selūsalema ʻae kātoanga ʻoe fakafoʻou, pea ko e faʻahitaʻu momoko.
23It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon’s porch.
23Pea naʻe ʻeveʻeva ʻa Sisu ʻi he falelotu lahi, ʻi he fale hala ʻo Solomone.
24The Jews therefore came around him and said to him, “How long will you hold us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.”
24Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae kakai Siu, ʻo kāpui ia, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “ʻE fēfē hono fuoloa mo hoʻo taʻefakaʻilo kiate kimautolu? Kapau ko e Kalaisi koe, tala totonu mai kiate kimautolu.”
25Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you don’t believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name, these testify about me.
25Pea leaange ʻa Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Naʻaku tala kiate kimoutolu, ka naʻe ʻikai te mou tui: ko e ngaahi ngāue ʻoku ou fai ʻi he huafa ʻo ʻeku Tamai, ʻoku fakamoʻoniʻi ai au.”
26But you don’t believe, because you are not of my sheep, as I told you.
26Ka ʻoku ʻikai te mou tui, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ʻi heʻeku fanga sipi ʻakimoutolu.
27My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
27ʻOku fanongo ʻeku fanga sipi ki hoku leʻo, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku tala kiate kimoutolu: pea ʻoku ou ʻiloa ʻakinautolu, pea ʻoku nau muimui ʻiate au:
28I give eternal life to them. They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.
28Pea ʻoku ou foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae moʻui taʻengata; pea ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te nau ʻauha, pe ʻe ʻikai ha taha te ne hamusi ʻakinautolu mei hoku nima.
29My Father who has given them to me is greater than all. No one is able to snatch them out of my Father’s hand.
29Ko ʻeku Tamai, ʻaia naʻa ne foaki mai kiate au, ʻoku lahi taha pe ia; pea ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻoku faʻa hamusi mei he nima ʻo ʻeku Tamai.
30I and the Father are one.”
30Ko au mo e Tamai ʻoku ma taha pe.
31Therefore the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
31Pea toe toʻo hake ʻe he kakai Siu ʻae maka, ke nau tolongaki ʻaki ia.
32Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?”
32Pea leaange ʻa Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Kuo lahi ʻae ngāue lelei kuo u fakahā kiate kimoutolu mei heʻeku Tamai; ko e ngāue fē ia ʻoku mou tolongakiʻi ai au?
33The Jews answered him, “We don’t stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God.”
33Pea talaange ʻe he kau Siu kiate ia, ʻo pehē, ʻOku ʻikai ko ha ngāue lelei ʻoku mau tolongakiʻi ai koe; ka ko e fie ʻOtua pe; koeʻuhi ko e tangata pe ʻa koe, ka ʻoku ke fai ke ʻOtua.”
34Jesus answered them, “Isn’t it written in your law, ‘I said, you are gods’?
34Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻIkai kuo tohi ʻi hoʻomou fono, Ne u pehē, ‘Ko e ngaahi ʻotua ʻakimoutolu?’
35If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture can’t be broken),
35Kapau ʻoku ui ko e ʻotua ʻakinautolu naʻe folofola ki ai ʻae ʻOtua, pea ʻe ʻikai faʻa liʻaki ʻae tohi;
36do you say of him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You blaspheme,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?
36ʻOku mou pehē kiate ia kuo fakatapui ʻe he Tamai, ʻo fekau ki māmani, ʻOku ke fie ʻOtua; koeʻuhi naʻaku pehē, Ko e ʻAlo au ʻoe ʻOtua?
37If I don’t do the works of my Father, don’t believe me.
37Kapau ʻoku ʻikai te u fai ʻae ngāue ʻo ʻeku Tamai, ʻoua te mou tui kiate au.
38But if I do them, though you don’t believe me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.”
38Ka ʻi heʻeku fai ia, kapau ʻoku ʻikai te mou tui kiate au, tui ki he ngāue: koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo, mo tui, ʻoku ʻiate au ʻae Tamai, mo au ʻiate ia.”
39They sought again to seize him, and he went out of their hand.
39¶ Ko ia naʻa nau toe fie puke ai ia: ka naʻa ne fakahaofi ia mei honau nima,
40He went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was baptizing at first, and he stayed there.
40ʻO toe ʻalu ki he potu ʻituʻa Sioatani, ʻaia naʻe tomuʻa fai papitaiso ai ʻa Sione; pea nofo ai ia.
41Many came to him. They said, “John indeed did no sign, but everything that John said about this man is true.”
41Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae tokolahi kiate ia, ʻonau pehē, “Naʻe ʻikai fai ʻe Sione ha mana: ka ko e meʻa kotoa pē naʻe lea ki ai ʻa Sione ki he tangata ni, ʻoku moʻoni.”
42Many believed in him there.
42Pea naʻe tui ʻae tokolahi ʻi ai kiate ia.
