¹Ameň, ameň vám hovorím, že ten, kto nevchádza dverami do ovčínca, ale prechádza inokade, je zlodej a zbojník;

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;

²ale ten, ktorý vchádza dverami, je pastier oviec.

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

³Tomu otvára vrátny, a ovce čujú jeho hlas, a svoje vlastné ovce volá podľa mena a vyvodí ich

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;

⁴a keď vyženie všetky svoje vlastné ovce, ide pred nimi, a ovce idú za ním, pretože znajú jeho hlas.

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;

⁵Ale za cudzím nikdy nepojdú, ale utečú od neho, pretože neznajú hlasu cudzích.

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

⁶Toto podobenstvo im povedal Ježiš, ale oni neporozumeli, čo je to, čo im hovoril.

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

⁷Vtedy im zase povedal Ježiš: Ameň, ameň vám hovorím: Ja som dverami oviec.

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

⁸Všetci, koľko ich prišlo predo mnou, sú zlodeji a lotri, ale ovce ich nepočuly.

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

⁹Ja som dvere. Ak niekto vojde cezo mňa, bude zachránený, a vojde aj vyjde i pašu najde.

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.

¹⁰Zlodej nejde na iné, iba nato, aby ukradol, zabil a zahubil. Ja som prišiel nato, aby maly život a aby maly hojnosť.

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.

¹¹Ja som ten dobrý pastier. Dobrý pastier kladie svoju dušu za ovce.

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

¹²Ale nájomník a ten, kto nie je pastierom, ktorého ovce nie sú jeho vlastné, keď vidí prichádzať vlka, opúšťa ovce a uteká, a vlk lapá a rozháňa ovce.

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;

¹³A nájomník uteká, pretože je nájomník a nedbá o ovce.

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

¹⁴Ja som ten dobrý pastier a znám svoje, i moje mňa znajú.

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

¹⁵Jako mňa zná Otec, tak i ja znám Otca a kladiem svoju dušu za ovce.

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

¹⁶A mám aj iné ovce, ktoré nie sú z tohoto ovčínca, aj tie musím priviesť, a počujú môj hlas, a bude jedno stádo a jeden pastier.

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.

¹⁷Preto ma miluje Otec, že ja kladiem svoju dušu, aby som ju zase vzal.

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

¹⁸Nikto jej neberie odo mňa, ale ja ju kladiem sám od seba. Mám právo ju položiť a mám právo ju zase vziať. To prikázanie som dostal od svojho Otca.

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.`

¹⁹Vtedy zase povstala roztržka medzi Židmi pre tie slová.

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

²⁰A mnohí z nich hovorili: Démona má a blázni; čo ho počúvate?

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

²¹A zase iní hovorili: To nie sú slová posadlého démonom; či azda môže démon otvoriť oči slepých?

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

²²A bola slávnosť obnovenia chrámu v Jeruzaleme, a bola zima.

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

²³A Ježiš sa prechádzal v chráme, v dvorane Šalamúnovej.

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

²⁴Vtedy ho obstúpili Židia a hovorili mu: Dokedy budeš držať našu dušu v napnutí? Ak si ty Kristus, povedz nám to otvorene!

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.`

²⁵Ježiš im odpovedal: Povedal som vám, a neveríte. Skutky, ktoré ja konám v mene svojho Otca, tie svedčia o mne;

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;

²⁶ale vy neveríte, pretože nie ste z mojich oviec, ako som vám už povedal.

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

²⁷Moje ovce čujú môj hlas, a ja ich znám, a nasledujú ma,

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

²⁸a ja im dávam večný život, a nezahynú na veky, a nikto ich nevytrhne z mojej ruky.

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;

²⁹Môj Otec, ktorý mi ich dal, je väčší od všetkých, a nikto ich nemôže vytrhnúť z ruky môjho Otca.

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;

³⁰Ja a Otec sme jedno.

³⁰I and the Father are one.`

³¹Vtedy zase zodvihli Židia kamene, aby ho ukameňovali.

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

³²Ale Ježiš im odpovedal: Mnoho dobrých skutkov som vám ukázal od svojho Otca, pre ktorý z tých skutkov ma kameňujete?

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

³³Židia mu odpovedali: Za dobrý skutok ťa nekameňujeme, ale za rúhanie sa a preto, že ty súc človek robíš sa Bohom.

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.`

³⁴Ježiš im odpovedal: Či nie je napísané vo vašom zákone: Ja som povedal: Bohovia ste?

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

³⁵Ak tedy tých nazval bohmi, ku ktorým sa stalo slovo Božie, - a Písmo nemožno zrušiť -

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

³⁶vy hovoríte tomu, ktorého posvätil Otec a poslal na svet, vraj rúhaš sa, pretože som povedal: Syn Boží som?

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?

³⁷Ak nečiním skutkov svojeho Otca, neverte mi;

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

³⁸ale ak činím, aj keby ste mne neverili, verte tým skutkom, aby ste poznali a uverili, že je Otec vo mne a ja v Otcovi.

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.`

³⁹Vtedy ho zase hľadeli jať, ale vyšiel z ich ruky.

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

⁴⁰A zase odišiel za Jordán, na miesto, kde Ján najprv krstil, a zostal tam.

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

⁴¹A mnohí prišli za ním a hovorili, že Ján síce neurobil nijakého divu, ale vraj všetko, čo Ján povedal o tomto, bola pravda.

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;`

⁴²A mnohí tam uverili v neho.

⁴²and many did believe in him there.
