John 10

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.

1 「我實實在在地告訴你們，人進羊圈，不從門進去，倒從別處爬進去，那人就是賊，就是強盜。

2 But the one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.

2 從門進去的，才是羊的牧人。

3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen for his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

3 看門的就給他開門；羊也聽他的聲音。他按着名叫自己的羊，把羊領出來。

4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.

4 既放出自己的羊來，就在前頭走，羊也跟着他，因為認得他的聲音。

5 But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will flee from him because they do not recognize his voice.”

5 羊不跟着生人；因為不認得他的聲音， 必要逃跑。」

6 Jesus spoke to them using this illustration, but they did not understand what He was telling them.

6 耶穌將這比喻告訴他們，但他們不明白所說的是甚麼意思。

7 So He said to them again, “Truly, truly, I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep.

7 所以，耶穌又對他們說：「我實實在在地告訴你們，我就是羊的門。

8 All who came before Me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.

8 凡在我以先來的都是賊，是強盜；羊卻不聽他們。

9 I am the gate. If anyone enters through Me, he will be saved. He will come in and go out and find pasture.

9 我就是門；凡從我進來的，必然得救，並且出入得草吃。

10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come that they may have life, and have it in all its fullness.

10 盜賊來，無非要偷竊，殺害，毀壞；我來了，是要叫羊 得生命，並且得的更豐盛。

11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.

11 我是好牧人；好牧人為羊捨命。

12 The 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.

12 若是雇工，不是牧人，羊也不是他自己的，他看見狼來，就撇下羊逃走；狼抓住羊，趕散了羊群。

13 The man runs away because he is a hired servant and is unconcerned for the sheep.

13 雇工逃走，因他是雇工，並不顧念羊。

14 I am the good shepherd. I know My sheep and My sheep know Me,

14 我是好牧人；我認識我的羊，我的羊也認識我，

15 just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father. And I lay down My life for the sheep.

15 正如父認識我，我也認識父一樣；並且我為羊捨命。

16 I 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.

16 我另外有羊，不是這圈裏的；我必須領他們來，他們也要聽我的聲音，並且要合成一群，歸一個牧人了。

17 The reason the Father loves Me is that I lay down My life in order to take it up again.

17 我父愛我；因我將命捨去，好再取回來。

18 No 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.”

18 沒有人奪我的命去，是我自己捨的。我有權柄捨了，也有權柄取回來。這是我從我父所受的命令。」

19 Again there was division among the Jews because of Jesus’ message.

19 猶太人為這些話又起了紛爭。

20 Many of them said, “He is demon-possessed and insane. Why would you listen to Him?”

20 內中有好些人說：「他是被鬼附着，而且瘋了，為甚麼聽他呢？」

21 But others replied, “These are not the words of a man possessed by a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”

21 又有人說：「這不是鬼附之人所說的話。鬼豈能叫瞎子的眼睛開了呢？」

22 At that time the Feast of Dedication took place in Jerusalem. It was winter,

22 在耶路撒冷有修殿節，是冬天的時候。

23 and Jesus was walking in the temple courts in Solomon’s Colonnade.

23 耶穌在殿裏所羅門的廊下行走。

24 So the Jews gathered around Him and demanded, “How long will You keep us in suspense? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly.”

24 猶太人圍着他，說：「你叫我們猶疑不定到幾時呢？你若是基督，就明明地告訴我們。」

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.

25 耶穌回答說：「我已經告訴你們，你們不信。我奉我父之名所行的事可以為我作見證；

26 But because you are not My sheep, you refuse to believe.

26 只是你們不信，因為你們不是我的羊。

27 My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me.

27 我的羊聽我的聲音，我也認識他們，他們也跟着我。

28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them out of My hand.

28 我又賜給他們永生；他們永不滅亡，誰也不能從我手裏把他們奪去。

29 My Father who has given them to Me is greater than all. No one can snatch them out of My Father’s hand.

29 我父把羊賜給我，他比萬有都大，誰也不能從我父手裏把他們奪去。

30 I and the Father are one.”

30 我與父原為一。」

31 At this, the Jews again picked up stones to stone Him.

31 猶太人又拿起石頭來要打他。

32 But Jesus responded, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone Me?”

32 耶穌對他們說：「我從父顯出許多善事給你們看，你們是為哪一件拿石頭打我呢？」

33 “We are not stoning You for any good work,” said the Jews, “but for blasphemy, because You, who are a man, make Yourself out to be God.”

33 猶太人回答說：「我們不是為善事拿石頭打你，是為你說僭妄的話；又為你是個人，反將自己當作上帝。」

34 Jesus replied, “Is it not written in your Law: ‘I have said you are gods’?

34 耶穌說：「你們的律法上豈不是寫着『我曾說你們是神』嗎？

35 If he called them gods to whom the word of God came—and the Scripture cannot be broken—

35 經上的話是不能廢的；若那些承受上帝道的人尚且稱為神，

36 then 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?

36 父所分別為聖、又差到世間來的，他自稱是上帝的兒子，你們還向他說『你說僭妄的話』嗎？

37 If I am not doing the works of My Father, then do not believe Me.

37 我若不行我父的事，你們就不必信我；

38 But 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.”

38 我若行了，你們縱然不信我，也當信這些事，叫你們又知道又明白父在我裏面，我也在父裏面。」

39 At this, they tried again to seize Him, but He escaped their grasp.

39 他們又要拿他，他卻逃出他們的手走了。

40 Then Jesus went back across the Jordan to the place where John had first been baptizing, and He stayed there.

40 耶穌又往約旦河外去，到了約翰起初施洗的地方，就住在那裏。

41 Many came to Him and said, “Although John never performed a sign, everything he said about this man was true.”

41 有許多人來到他那裏。他們說：「約翰一件神蹟沒有行過，但約翰指着這人所說的一切話都是真的。」

42 And many in that place believed in Jesus.

42 在那裏，信耶穌的人就多了。
