¹ “Most certainly, I tell you, one who doesn’t enter by the door into the sheep fold, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

¹¶ He pono, he pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ki te kahore tetahi e tomo ra te kuwaha ki te kainga hipi, ki te piki ke, he tahae ia, he tangata pahua.

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

²Tena ko te tangata e tomo ana ra te kuwaha, ko te hepara ia o nga hipi.

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

³Ka uaki te kaitiaki tatau ki a ia; ka rongo ano nga hipi ki tona reo: na ka karangatia e ia ana hipi ake, to tenei ingoa, to tenei ingoa, ka arahina ki waho.

⁴ Whenever he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.

⁴A ka oti ana ake hipi te tuku ki waho, ka haere ia i mua i a ratou, ka aru nga hipi i a ia: e matau ana hoki ratou ki tona reo.

⁵ They will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him; for they don’t know the voice of strangers.”

⁵E kore ia ratou e aru i te tauhou, engari ka oma i a ia: e kore hoki e matau ki te reo o nga tauhou.

⁶Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they didn’t understand what he was telling them.

⁶I korerotia tenei kupu whakarite e Ihu ki a ratou: heoi kihai ratou i mohio ki nga mea i korerotia e ia ki a ratou.

⁷Jesus therefore said to them again, “Most certainly, I tell you, I am the sheep’s door.

⁷Na ka mea ano a Ihu ki a ratou, He pono, he pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ko ahau te tatau o nga hipi.

⁸ All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn’t listen to them.

⁸He tahae, he kaipahua te hunga katoa i haere mai i mua i ahau: heoi kihai nga hipi i whakarongo ki a ratou.

⁹ I 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 ahau te tatau: ki te waiho ahau hei huarahi tomokanga mo tetahi, e ora ia, a ka haere ki roto, ka haere ki waho, ka kite hoki i te kai.

¹⁰ The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.

¹⁰Heoi ano ta te tahae e haere mai ai, he tahae, he patu, he whakamoti hoki: i haere mai ahau kia whiwhi ai ratou ki te ora, ina, tona nui noa atu.

¹¹ I am the good shepherd. Isaiah 40:11; Ezekiel 34:11-12,15,22 The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

¹¹Ko ahau te hepara pai, he hepara pai, ka tuku i a ia ano kia mate mo nga hipi.

¹² He 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.

¹²Tena ko te tangata e utua ana, ehara nei i te hepara, ehara nei i a ia nga hipi, i tona kitenga i te wuruhi e haere mai ana, whakarerea ake e ia nga hipi, oma ana: na ka hopukia ratou e te wuruhi, a whakamararatia ana nga hipi.

¹³ The hired hand flees because he is a hired hand, and doesn’t care for the sheep.

¹³Ka oma te tangata e utua ana, no te mea e utua ana ia, kahore hoki ona whakaaro ki nga hipi.

¹⁴ I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and I’m known by my own;

¹⁴Ko ahau te hepara pai, e matau ana hoki ki aku, a e matau ana aku ki ahau.

¹⁵ even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.

¹⁵Pera tonu me to te Matua matau ki ahau, me toku matau hoki ki te Matua: e tuku ana hoki ahau i ahau ki te mate mo nga hipi.

¹⁶ I have other sheep, which are not of this fold. Isaiah 56:8 I must bring them also, and they will hear my voice. They will become one flock with one shepherd.

¹⁶He hipi atu ano aku, ehara nei i tenei kainga: me arahi mai ratou e ahau, a ka rongo ratou ki toku reo; a e whakakotahitia te kahui, kotahi ano hoki hepara.

¹⁷ Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, Isaiah 53:7-8 that I may take it again.

¹⁷Koia te Matua ka aroha mai ai ki ahau, no te mea e tuku ana ahau i ahau kia mate, kia whakaora ake ai ano ahau i ahau.

¹⁸ No 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.”

¹⁸Ehara i te mea ma tetahi tangata ahau e whakamate, engari maku ano ahau e tuku ki te mate. Kei ahau te tikanga mo te tuku atu, kei ahau ano te tikanga mo te whakaora. Na toku matua tenei ture kua riro mai nei i ahau.

¹⁹Therefore a division arose again among the Jews because of these words.

¹⁹¶ Katahi ka wehewehea nga Hurai, na enei kupu.

²⁰Many of them said, “He has a demon, and is insane! Why do you listen to him?”

²⁰He tokomaha o ratou i mea, He rewera tona, e haurangi ana; he aha koutou ka whakarongo ai ki a 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?” Exodus 4:11

²¹Ko etahi i mea, Ehara enei i nga kupu a te tangata e nohoia ana e te rewera. E ahei koia i te rewera te mea i nga kanohi o nga matapo kia kite?

²²It was the Feast of the Dedication The “Feast of the Dedication” is the Greek name for “Hanukkah,” a celebration of the rededication of the Temple. at Jerusalem.

²²¶ Na i Hiruharama tenei, i te hakari horohoronga: he hotoke;

²³It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon’s porch.

²³A e haereere ana a Ihu i te temepara, i te whakamahau o Horomona.

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.”

²⁴Na ka karapotia ia e nga Hurai, ka mea ratou ki a ia, Kia pehea te roa o tau waiho i o matou ngakau kia hikirangi ana? Ki te mea ko te Karaiti koe, korerotia matanuitia mai ki a matou.

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.

²⁵Ka whakahoki a Ihu ki a ratou, Kua korerotia e ahau ki a koutou, a kahore koutou e whakapono: ko nga mahi e mahi nei ahau i runga i te ingoa o toku Matua, ko enei hei kaiwhakaatu moku.

²⁶ But you don’t believe, because you are not of my sheep, as I told you.

²⁶Otira e kore koutou e whakapono, no te mea ehara koutou i te hipi naku.

²⁷ My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.

²⁷E rongo ana aku hipi ki toku reo, e matau ana ahau ki a ratou, e aru ana hoki ratou i ahau:

²⁸ I give eternal life to them. They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.

²⁸E hoatu ana e ahau ki a ratou he ora tonu; e kore ratou e ngaro ake ake, e kore ano hoki tetahi e kapo atu i a ratou i roto i toku ringa.

²⁹ My 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 toku Matua, nana nei ratou i homai ki ahau, nui ake i te katoa; e kore ano ratou e taea e tetahi te kapo atu i roto i te ringa o toku Matua.

³⁰ I and the Father are one.”

³⁰Ko ahau, ko te Matua, kotahi maua.

³¹Therefore Jews took up stones again to stone him.

³¹Katahi ka mau ano nga Hurai ki te kohatu hei aki ki a ia.

³²Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?”

³²Ka whakahokia e Ihu ki a ratou, He maha nga mahi pai kua whakakitea nei e ahau ki a koutou, he mea na toku Matua; mo tehea o aua mahi ka akina ai ahau e koutou?

³³The Jews answered him, “We don’t stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy: because you, being a man, make yourself God.”

³³Ka whakahoki nga Hurai ki a ia, ka mea, Ehara te mahi pai i te mea e akina ai koe; engari mo te kohukohu; mo te mea hoki ko koe, tangata nei ano, e whakaatua ana i a koe.

³⁴Jesus answered them, “Isn’t it written in your law, ‘I said, you are gods?’ Psalm 82:6

³⁴Ka whakahokia e Ihu ki a ratou, Kahore ranei i tuhituhia i roto i to koutou ture, I mea ahau, he atua koutou?

³⁵ If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture can’t be broken),

³⁵Ki te huaina e ia he atua te hunga i tae mai nei te kupu a te Atua ki a ratou, a e kore hoki e taea te whakakahore te karaipiture,

³⁶ do you say of him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You blaspheme,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God?’

³⁶E mea ana oti koutou ki ta te Matua i whakatapu ai, i tono mai ai hoki ki te ao, E kohukohu ana koe; noku i mea, Ko te Tama ahau a te Atua?

³⁷ If I don’t do the works of my Father, don’t believe me.

³⁷Ki te kore ahau e mahi i nga mahi a toku Matua, aua ahau e whakaponohia.

³⁸ But 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.”

³⁸Tena ki te mahi ahau, ahakoa kahore koutou e whakapono ki ahau, whakaponohia nga mahi: kia matau ai koutou, kia whakapono ai, ko te Matua kei roto i ahau, me ahau hoki kei roto i a ia.

³⁹They sought again to seize him, and he went out of their hand.

³⁹¶ Na ka whai ano ratou kia hopukia ia: heoi puta ana ia i o ratou ringa;

⁴⁰He went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was baptizing at first, and there he stayed.

⁴⁰Na ka haere ano ia ki tawahi o Horano, ki te wahi i matua iriiri ai a Hoani; a noho ana i reira.

⁴¹Many came to him. They said, “John indeed did no sign, but everything that John said about this man is true.”

⁴¹He tokomaha hoki i haere ki a ia; i mea ratou, Kihai a Hoani i mahi i tetahi merekara; he pono ia nga mea katoa i korerotia e Hoani mo tenei.

⁴²Many believed in him there.

⁴²A he tokomaha o reira i whakapono ki a ia.
