¹Lazaiko aminareo marina dia marina tokoa fa izay tsy miditra amin'ny vavahady ho amin'ny valan'ondry, fa mananika ny fefy, dia mpangalatra sy jiolahy.

¹`Verily, verily, I say to you, He who is not entering through the door to the fold of the sheep, but is going up from another side, that one is a thief and a robber;

²Fa izay miditra amin'ny vavahady no mpiandry ny ondry.

²and he who is entering through the door is shepherd of the sheep;

³Ary izy no vohan'ny mpiandry vavahady; ary ny ondry mihaino ny feony; ary izay ondriny tokoa dia antsoiny amin'ny anarany avy ka entiny mivoaka.

³to this one the doorkeeper doth open, and the sheep hear his voice, and his own sheep he doth call by name, and doth lead them forth;

⁴Ary rehefa mamoaka ireo rehetra ireo izy, dia mialoha azy; ary ny ondriny manaraka azy, satria mahalala ny feony ireo.

⁴and when his own sheep he may put forth, before them he goeth on, and the sheep follow him, because they have known his voice;

⁵Ary ny vahiny tsy harahiny, fa handosirany, satria tsy fantany ny feon'ny vahiny.

⁵and a stranger they will not follow, but will flee from him, because they have not known the voice of strangers.`

⁶Izany fanoharana izany no nolazain'i Jesosy taminy, nefa tsy azony izay zavatra nolazainy taminy.

⁶This similitude spake Jesus to them, and they knew not what the things were that he was speaking to them;

⁷Dia hoy indray Jesosy taminy: Lazaiko aminareo marina dia marina tokoa: Izaho no vavahadin'ondry.

⁷Jesus said therefore again to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you — I am the door of the sheep;

⁸Mpangalatra sy jiolahy izay rehetra tonga talohako; fa tsy nihaino azy ny ondry.

⁸all, as many as came before me, are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them;

⁹Izaho no vavahady; raha Izaho no hidiran'ny olona, dia hovonjena izy ka hiditra sy hivoaka sady hahazo hanina.

⁹I am the door, through me if any one may come in, he shall be saved, and he shall come in, and go out, and find pasture.

¹⁰Ny mpangalatra tsy avy raha tsy hangalatra sy hamono ary handringana; Izaho avy mba hananany fiainana, sady hananany be dia be.

¹⁰`The thief doth not come, except that he may steal, and kill, and destroy; I came that they may have life, and may have [it] abundantly.

¹¹Izaho no Mpiandry Tsara; ny Mpiandry Tsara manolotra ny ainy hamonjy ny ondry.

¹¹`I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd his life layeth down for the sheep;

¹²Ary ny mpikarama, satria tsy mpiandry na tompon'ny ondry izy, koa raha mahita ny amboadia avy, dia mandao ny ondry ka mandositra, ary ny amboadia misambotra ny ondry ka mampihahaka azy; [lopa]

¹²and the hireling, and not being a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, doth behold the wolf coming, and doth leave the sheep, and doth flee; and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep;

¹³mandositra izy, satria mpikarama ka tsy mitandrina ny ondry.

¹³and the hireling doth flee because he is an hireling, and is not caring for the sheep.

¹⁴Izaho no Mpiandry Tsara; ary fantatro ny Ahy, sady fantany Aho,

¹⁴`I am the good shepherd, and I know my [sheep], and am known by mine,

¹⁵dia tahaka ny ahafantaran'ny Ray Ahy sy ny ahafantarako ny Ray; ary Izaho manolotra ny aiko hamonjy ny ondry.

¹⁵according as the Father doth know me, and I know the Father, and my life I lay down for the sheep,

¹⁶Manana ondry hafa izay tsy amin'ity vala ity Aho; ary ireny koa dia tsy maintsy ho entiko ka hihaino ny feoko; ary ho tonga andiany iray izy, sady iray ihany ny Mpiandry.

¹⁶and other sheep I have that are not of this fold, these also it behoveth me to bring, and my voice they will hear, and there shall become one flock — one shepherd.

¹⁷Ary izany no itiavan'ny Raiko Ahy, satria Izaho manolotra ny aiko mba handraisako azy indray.

¹⁷`Because of this doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that again I may take it;

¹⁸Tsy misy manaisotra ny aiko amiko, fa ny tenako ihany no manolotra azy. Manana fahefana hanolotra azy Aho, ary manana fahefana haka azy indray. Izany didy izany dia azoko tamin'ny Raiko.

¹⁸no one doth take it from me, but I lay it down of myself; authority I have to lay it down, and authority I have again to take it; this command I received from my Father.`

¹⁹Ary nisy fisarahana indray tao amin'ny Jiosy noho izany teny izany.

¹⁹Therefore, again, there came a division among the Jews, because of these words,

²⁰Ary maro tamin'ireo no nanao hoe: Manana demonia Izy ka efa very saina; nahoana no mihaino Azy ianareo?

²⁰and many of them said, `He hath a demon, and is mad, why do ye hear him?`

²¹Hoy kosa ny sasany: Tsy mba tenin'ny demoniaka izany; moa ny demonia va mahay mampahiratra ny mason'ny jamba?

²¹others said, `These sayings are not those of a demoniac; is a demon able blind men`s eyes to open?`

²²Ary tonga ny andro firavoravoana tany Jerosalema, dia ilay atao hoe Fitokanana, ary efa ririnina ny andro.

²²And the dedication in Jerusalem came, and it was winter,

²³Ary Jesosy nitsangantsangana teo an-kianjan'ny tempoly teo amin'ny Fialofan'i Solomona.

²³and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the porch of Solomon,

²⁴Dia nitangoronan'ny Jiosy Izy ka nanontaniany hoe: Ambara-pahoviana no hampisalasalanao anay? Raha Hianao no Kristy, dia lazao marimarina aminay.

²⁴the Jews, therefore, came round about him, and said to him, `Till when our soul dost thou hold in suspense? if thou art the Christ, tell us freely.`

²⁵Jesosy namaly azy hoe: Efa nilaza taminareo ihany Aho, nefa tsy mino ianareo; ny asa izay ataoko amin'ny anaran'ny Raiko no manambara Ahy.

²⁵Jesus answered them, `I told you, and ye do not believe; the works that I do in the name of my Father, these testify concerning me;

²⁶Kanefa ianareo tsy mino, satria tsy mba isan'ny ondriko.

²⁶but ye do not believe, for ye are not of my sheep,

²⁷Ny ondriko mihaino ny feoko, ary Izaho mahalala azy, ary izy manaraka Ahy,

²⁷according as I said to you: My sheep my voice do hear, and I know them, and they follow me,

²⁸ary Izaho manome azy fiainana mandrakizay, ka tsy ho very izy mandrakizay, ary tsy hisy handrombaka azy amin'ny tanako.

²⁸and life age-during I give to them, and they shall not perish — to the age, and no one shall pluck them out of my hand;

²⁹Ny Raiko Izay nanome Ahy dia lehibe noho izy rehetra; ary tsy misy mahay mandrombaka amin'ny tanan'ny Ray.

²⁹my Father, who hath given to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to pluck out of the hand of my Father;

³⁰Izaho sy ny Ray dia iray ihany.

³⁰I and the Father are one.`

³¹Dia naka vato indray ny Jiosy hitoraka Azy.

³¹Therefore, again, did the Jews take up stones that they may stone him;

³²Jesosy namaly azy hoe: Maro ny asa tsara nasehoko taminareo avy tamin'ny Ray; koa ny asa manao ahoana amin'ireny moa no itorahanareo vato Ahy?

³²Jesus answered them, `Many good works did I shew you from my Father; because of which work of them do ye stone me?`

³³Ny Jiosy namaly Azy hoe: Tsy asa tsara no itorahanay vato Anao, fa fitenenan-dratsy, satria olona ihany Hianao, nefa manao ny tenanao ho Andriamanitra. [Gr. blasfemia, izahao Mat. 9,3]

³³The Jews answered him, saying, `For a good work we do not stone thee, but for evil speaking, and because thou, being a man, dost make thyself God.`

³⁴Jesosy namaly azy hoe: Tsy voasoratra ao amin'ny lalànareo va hoe: Hoy Izaho: Andriamanitra ianareo? (Sal. 82. 6).

³⁴Jesus answered them, `Is it not having been written in your law: I said, ye are gods?

³⁵Raha ireny izay nanaovana izany tenin'Andriamanitra izany no natao hoe andriamanitra (ary ny Soratra Masina tsy azo foanana),

³⁵if them he did call gods unto whom the word of God came, (and the Writing is not able to be broken,)

³⁶moa Izay nohasinin'ny Ray ka nirahiny ho amin'izao tontolo izao va no ataonareo hoe: Miteny ratsy Hianao, satria hoy Izaho: Zanak'Andriamanitra Aho?

³⁶of him whom the Father did sanctify, and send to the world, do ye say — Thou speakest evil, because I said, Son of God I am?

³⁷Raha tsy manao ny asan'ny Raiko Aho, dia aza mino Ahy.

³⁷if I do not the works of my Father, do not believe me;

³⁸Fa raha manao ihany kosa Aho, na dia tsy mino Ahy aza ianareo, dia minoa ny asa, mba ho fantatrareo sy hekenareo fa ny Ray no ato amiko, ary Izaho ao amin'ny Ray.

³⁸and if I do, even if me ye may not believe, the works believe, that ye may know and may believe that in me [is] the Father, and I in Him.`

³⁹Dia nitady hisambotra Azy indray ny Jiosy; fa nandositra azy Izy. [Gr. Ny tànany]

³⁹Therefore were they seeking again to seize him, and he went forth out of their hand,

⁴⁰Dia lasa nankany an-dafin'i Jordana indray Jesosy, ho any amin'ilay tany nanaovan'i Jaona batisa voalohany, ka nitoetra tany Izy.

⁴⁰and went away again to the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John was at first baptizing, and remained there,

⁴¹Ary maro no nankeo aminy ka nanao hoe: Jaona tsy mba nanao famantarana, nefa izay rehetra nolazainy ny amin'ity Lehilahy ity dia marina avokoa.Ary maro no nino Azy teo.

⁴¹and many came unto him, and said — `John, indeed, did no sign, and all things, as many as John said about this one were true;`

⁴²Ary maro no nino Azy teo.

⁴²and many did believe in him there.
