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 «اَلْحَقَّ ٱلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ ٱلَّذِي لَا يَدْخُلُ مِنَ ٱلْبَابِ إِلَى حَظِيرَةِ ٱلْخِرَافِ، بَلْ يَطْلَعُ مِنْ مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ، فَذَاكَ سَارِقٌ وَلِصٌّ.

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

2 وَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِي يَدْخُلُ مِنَ ٱلْبَابِ فَهُوَ رَاعِي ٱلْخِرَافِ.

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 لِهَذَا يَفْتَحُ ٱلْبَوَّابُ، وَٱلْخِرَافُ تَسْمَعُ صَوْتَهُ، فَيَدْعُو خِرَافَهُ ٱلْخَاصَّةَ بِأَسْمَاءٍ وَيُخْرِجُهَا.

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 وَمَتَى أَخْرَجَ خِرَافَهُ ٱلْخَاصَّةَ يَذْهَبُ أَمَامَهَا، وَٱلْخِرَافُ تَتْبَعُهُ، لِأَنَّهَا تَعْرِفُ صَوْتَهُ.

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

5 وَأَمَّا ٱلْغَرِيبُ فَلَا تَتْبَعُهُ بَلْ تَهْرُبُ مِنْهُ، لِأَنَّهَا لَا تَعْرِفُ صَوْتَ ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ».

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

6 هَذَا ٱلْمَثَلُ قَالَهُ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ، وَأَمَّا هُمْ فَلَمْ يَفْهَمُوا مَا هُوَ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ يُكَلِّمُهُمْ بِهِ.

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

7 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ أَيْضًا: «ٱلْحَقَّ ٱلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنِّي أَنَا بَابُ ٱلْخِرَافِ.

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

8 جَمِيعُ ٱلَّذِينَ أَتَوْا قَبْلِي هُمْ سُرَّاقٌ وَلُصُوصٌ، وَلَكِنَّ ٱلْخِرَافَ لَمْ تَسْمَعْ لَهُمْ.

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 أَنَا هُوَ ٱلْبَابُ. إِنْ دَخَلَ بِي أَحَدٌ فَيَخْلُصُ وَيَدْخُلُ وَيَخْرُجُ وَيَجِدُ مَرْعًى.

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 اَلسَّارِقُ لَا يَأْتِي إِلَّا لِيَسْرِقَ وَيَذْبَحَ وَيُهْلِكَ، وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَقَدْ أَتَيْتُ لِتَكُونَ لَهُمْ حَيَاةٌ وَلِيَكُونَ لَهُمْ أَفْضَلُ.

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

11 أَنَا هُوَ ٱلرَّاعِي ٱلصَّالِحُ، وَٱلرَّاعِي ٱلصَّالِحُ يَبْذِلُ نَفْسَهُ عَنِ ٱلْخِرَافِ.

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 وَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِي هُوَ أَجِيرٌ، وَلَيْسَ رَاعِيًا، ٱلَّذِي لَيْسَتِ ٱلْخِرَافُ لَهُ، فَيَرَى ٱلذِّئْبَ مُقْبِلًا وَيَتْرُكُ ٱلْخِرَافَ وَيَهْرُبُ، فَيَخْطَفُ ٱلذِّئْبُ ٱلْخِرَافَ وَيُبَدِّدُهَا.

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

13 وَٱلْأَجِيرُ يَهْرُبُ لِأَنَّهُ أَجِيرٌ، وَلَا يُبَالِي بِٱلْخِرَافِ.

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

14 أَمَّا أَنَا فَإِنِّي ٱلرَّاعِي ٱلصَّالِحُ، وَأَعْرِفُ خَاصَّتِي وَخَاصَّتِي تَعْرِفُنِي،

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

15 كَمَا أَنَّ ٱلْآبَ يَعْرِفُنِي وَأَنَا أَعْرِفُ ٱلْآبَ. وَأَنَا أَضَعُ نَفْسِي عَنِ ٱلْخِرَافِ.

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 وَلِي خِرَافٌ أُخَرُ لَيْسَتْ مِنْ هَذِهِ ٱلْحَظِيرَةِ، يَنْبَغِي أَنْ آتِيَ بِتِلْكَ أَيْضًا فَتَسْمَعُ صَوْتِي، وَتَكُونُ رَعِيَّةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ وَرَاعٍ وَاحِدٌ.

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

17 لِهَذَا يُحِبُّنِي ٱلْآبُ، لِأَنِّي أَضَعُ نَفْسِي لِآخُذَهَا أَيْضًا.

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 لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يَأْخُذُهَا مِنِّي، بَلْ أَضَعُهَا أَنَا مِنْ ذَاتِي. لِي سُلْطَانٌ أَنْ أَضَعَهَا وَلِي سُلْطَانٌ أَنْ آخُذَهَا أَيْضًا. هَذِهِ ٱلْوَصِيَّةُ قَبِلْتُهَا مِنْ أَبِي».

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

19 فَحَدَثَ أَيْضًا ٱنْشِقَاقٌ بَيْنَ ٱلْيَهُودِ بِسَبَبِ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ.

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

20 فَقَالَ كَثِيرُونَ مِنْهُمْ: «بِهِ شَيْطَانٌ وَهُوَ يَهْذِي. لِمَاذَا تَسْتَمِعُونَ لَهُ؟».

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 آخَرُونَ قَالُوا: «لَيْسَ هَذَا كَلَامَ مَنْ بِهِ شَيْطَانٌ. أَلَعَلَّ شَيْطَانًا يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَفْتَحَ أَعْيُنَ ٱلْعُمْيَانِ؟».

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

22 وَكَانَ عِيدُ ٱلتَّجْدِيدِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَكَانَ شِتَاءٌ.

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

23 وَكَانَ يَسُوعُ يَتَمَشَّى فِي ٱلْهَيْكَلِ فِي رِوَاقِ سُلَيْمَانَ،

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 فَٱحْتَاطَ بِهِ ٱلْيَهُودُ وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «إِلَى مَتَى تُعَلِّقُ أَنْفُسَنَا؟ إِنْ كُنْتَ أَنْتَ ٱلْمَسِيحَ فَقُلْ لَنَا جَهْرًا».

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 أَجَابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «إِنِّي قُلْتُ لَكُمْ وَلَسْتُمْ تُؤْمِنُونَ. اَلْأَعْمَالُ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا أَعْمَلُهَا بِٱسْمِ أَبِي هِيَ تَشْهَدُ لِي.

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

26 وَلَكِنَّكُمْ لَسْتُمْ تُؤْمِنُونَ لِأَنَّكُمْ لَسْتُمْ مِنْ خِرَافِي، كَمَا قُلْتُ لَكُمْ.

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

27 خِرَافِي تَسْمَعُ صَوْتِي، وَأَنَا أَعْرِفُهَا فَتَتْبَعُنِي.

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

28 وَأَنَا أُعْطِيهَا حَيَاةً أَبَدِيَّةً، وَلَنْ تَهْلِكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، وَلَا يَخْطَفُهَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ يَدِي.

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 أَبِي ٱلَّذِي أَعْطَانِي إِيَّاهَا هُوَ أَعْظَمُ مِنَ ٱلْكُلِّ، وَلَا يَقْدِرُ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَخْطَفَ مِنْ يَدِ أَبِي.

30 I and the Father are one.”

30 أَنَا وَٱلْآبُ وَاحِدٌ».

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

31 فَتَنَاوَلَ ٱلْيَهُودُ أَيْضًا حِجَارَةً لِيَرْجُمُوهُ.

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

32 أَجَابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أَعْمَالًا كَثِيرَةً حَسَنَةً أَرَيْتُكُمْ مِنْ عِنْدِ أَبِي. بِسَبَبِ أَيِّ عَمَلٍ مِنْهَا تَرْجُمُونَنِي؟».

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 أَجَابَهُ ٱلْيَهُودُ قَائِلِينَ: «لَسْنَا نَرْجُمُكَ لِأَجْلِ عَمَلٍ حَسَنٍ، بَلْ لِأَجْلِ تَجْدِيفٍ، فَإِنَّكَ وَأَنْتَ إِنْسَانٌ تَجْعَلُ نَفْسَكَ إِلَهًا».

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

34 أَجَابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أَلَيْسَ مَكْتُوبًا فِي نَامُوسِكُمْ: أَنَا قُلْتُ إِنَّكُمْ آلِهَةٌ؟

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

35 إِنْ قَالَ آلِهَةٌ لِأُولَئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ صَارَتْ إِلَيْهِمْ كَلِمَةُ ٱللهِ، وَلَا يُمْكِنُ أَنْ يُنْقَضَ ٱلْمَكْتُوبُ،

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 فَٱلَّذِي قَدَّسَهُ ٱلْآبُ وَأَرْسَلَهُ إِلَى ٱلْعَالَمِ، أَتَقُولُونَ لَهُ: إِنَّكَ تُجَدِّفُ، لِأَنِّي قُلْتُ: إِنِّي ٱبْنُ ٱللهِ؟

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

37 إِنْ كُنْتُ لَسْتُ أَعْمَلُ أَعْمَالَ أَبِي فَلَا تُؤْمِنُوا بِي.

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 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كُنْتُ أَعْمَلُ، فَإِنْ لَمْ تُؤْمِنُوا بِي فَآمِنُوا بِٱلْأَعْمَالِ، لِكَيْ تَعْرِفُوا وَتُؤْمِنُوا أَنَّ ٱلْآبَ فِيَّ وَأَنَا فِيهِ».

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

39 فَطَلَبُوا أَيْضًا أَنْ يُمْسِكُوهُ فَخَرَجَ مِنْ أَيْدِيهِمْ،

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

40 وَمَضَى أَيْضًا إِلَى عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ إِلَى ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ يُوحَنَّا يُعَمِّدُ فِيهِ أَوَّلًا وَمَكَثَ هُنَاكَ.

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

41 فَأَتَى إِلَيْهِ كَثِيرُونَ وَقَالُوا: «إِنَّ يُوحَنَّا لَمْ يَفْعَلْ آيَةً وَاحِدَةً، وَلَكِنْ كُلُّ مَا قَالَهُ يُوحَنَّا عَنْ هَذَا كَانَ حَقًّا».

42 And many in that place believed in Jesus.

42 فَآمَنَ كَثِيرُونَ بِهِ هُنَاكَ.
