John 10 (NAV) · Opened

1«الْحَقَّ الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ مَنْ يَدْخُلُ إِلَى حَظِيرَةِ الْخِرَافِ مِنْ غَيْرِ بَابِهَا فَيَتَسَلَّقُ إِلَيْهَا مِنْ طَرِيقٍ آخَرَ، هُوَ سَارِقٌ وَلِصٌّ.“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.

2أَمَّا الَّذِي يَدْخُلُ مِنَ الْبَابِ فَهُوَ رَاعِي الْخِرَافِ،But the one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.

3وَالْبَوَّابُ يَفْتَحُ لَهُ، وَالْخِرَافُ تُصْغِي إِلَى صَوْتِهِ، فَيُنَادِي خِرَافَهُ الْخَاصَّةَ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ بِاسْمِهِ، وَيَقُودُهَا إِلَى خَارِجِ الْحَظِيرَةِ.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.

4وَمَتَى أَخْرَجَهَا كُلَّهَا، يَسِيرُ أَمَامَهَا وَهِيَ تَتْبَعُهُ، لأَنَّهَا تَعْرِفُ صَوْتَهُ.When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.

5وَهِيَ لَا تَتْبَعُ مَنْ كَانَ غَرِيباً، بَلْ تَهْرُبُ مِنْهُ، لأَنَّهَا لَا تَعْرِفُ صَوْتَ الْغُرَبَاءِ».But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will flee from him because they do not recognize his voice.”

6ضَرَبَ يَسُوعُ لَهُمْ هَذَا الْمَثَلَ، وَلكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَفْهَمُوا مَغْزَى كَلامِهِ.Jesus spoke to them using this illustration, but they did not understand what He was telling them.

7لِذلِكَ عَادَ فَقَالَ: «الْحَقَّ الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: أَنَا بَابُ الْخِرَافِ.So He said to them again, “Truly, truly, I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep.

8جَمِيعُ الَّذِينَ جَاءُوا قَبْلِي كَانُوا لُصُوصاً وَسُرَّاقاً، وَلكِنَّ الْخِرَافَ لَمْ تُصْغِ إِلَيْهِمْ.All who came before Me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.

9أَنَا الْبَابُ. مَنْ دَخَلَ بِي يَخْلُصْ، فَيَدْخُلُ وَيَخْرُجُ وَيَجِدُ الْمَرْعَى.I am the gate. If anyone enters through Me, he will be saved. He will come in and go out and find pasture.

10السَّارِقُ لَا يَأْتِي إِلّا لِيَسْرِقَ وَيَذْبَحَ وَيُهْلِكَ. أَمَّا أَنَا فَقَدْ أَتَيْتُ لِتَكُونَ لَهُمْ حَيَاةٌ، بَلْ مِلْءُ الْحَيَاةِ!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.

11أَنَا الرَّاعِي الصَّالِحُ، وَالرَّاعِي الصَّالِحُ يَبْذِلُ حَيَاتَهُ فِدَى خِرَافِهِ.I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.

12وَلَيْسَ الأَجِيرُ كَالرَّاعِي، لأَنَّ الْخِرَافَ لَيْسَتْ مِلْكَهُ. فَعِنْدَمَا يَرَى الذِّئْبَ قَادِماً، يَتْرُكُ الْخِرَافَ لِيَنْجُوَ بِنَفْسِهِ، فَيَخْطَفُ الذِّئْبُ الْخِرَافَ وَيُبَدِّدُهَا.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.

13إِنَّهُ يَهْرُبُ لأَنَّهُ أَجِيرٌ وَلا يُبَالِي بِالْخِرَافِ!The man runs away because he is a hired servant and is unconcerned for the sheep.

14أَمَّا أَنَا فَإِنِّي الرَّاعِي الصَّالِحُ، وَأَعْرِفُ خِرَافِي، وَخِرَافِي تَعْرِفُنِي،I am the good shepherd. I know My sheep and My sheep know Me,

15مِثْلَمَا يَعْرِفُنِي الآبُ وَأَنَا أَعْرِفُهُ. وَأَنَا أَبْذِلُ حَيَاتِي فِدَى خِرَافِي.just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father. And I lay down My life for the sheep.

16وَلِي خِرَافٌ أُخْرَى لَا تَنْتَمِي إِلَى هذِهِ الْحَظِيرَةِ، لابُدَّ أَنْ أَجْمَعَهَا إِلَيَّ أَيْضاً، وَتُصْغِيَ لِصَوْتِي؛ فَيَكُونَ هُنَاكَ قَطِيعٌ وَاحِدٌ وَرَاعٍ وَاحِدٌ.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.

17إِنَّ الآبَ يُحِبُّنِي لأَنِّي أَبْذِلُ حَيَاتِي لِكَيْ أَسْتَرِدَّهَا.The reason the Father loves Me is that I lay down My life in order to take it up again.

18لَا أَحَدَ يَنْتَزِعُ حَيَاتِي مِنِّي، بَلْ أَنَا أَبْذِلُهَا بِاخْتِيَارِي. فَلِي السُّلْطَةُ أَنْ أَبْذِلَهَا وَلِيَ السُّلْطَةُ أَنْ أَسْتَرِدَّهَا. هذِهِ الْوَصِيَّةُ تَلَقَّيْتُهَا مِنْ أَبِي».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.”

19فَانْقَسَمَ الْيَهُودُ فِي الرَّأْيِ حَوْلَ هَذَا الْكَلامِ.Again there was division among the Jews because of Jesus’ message.

20فَقَالَ كَثِيرُونَ مِنْهُمْ: «إِنَّ شَيْطَاناً يَسْكُنُهُ، وَهُوَ يَهْذِي. فَلِمَاذَا تَسْتَمِعُونَ إِلَيْهِ؟»Many of them said, “He is demon-possessed and insane. Why would you listen to Him?”

21وَقَالَ آخَرُونَ: «لَيْسَ هَذَا كَلامَ مَنْ يَسْكُنُهُ شَيْطَانٌ. أَيَسْتَطِيعُ الشَّيْطَانُ أَنْ يَفْتَحَ عُيُونَ الْعُمْيَانِ؟»But others replied, “These are not the words of a man possessed by a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”

22وَفِي أَثْنَاءِ الاِحْتِفَالِ بِعِيدِ تَجْدِيدِ الْهَيْكَلِ، فِي الشِّتَاءِ،At that time the Feast of Dedication took place in Jerusalem. It was winter,

23كَانَ يَسُوعُ يَتَمَشَّى فِي الْهَيْكَلِ فِي قَاعَةِ سُلَيْمَانَ.and Jesus was walking in the temple courts in Solomon’s Colonnade.

24فَتَجَمَّعَ حَوْلَهُ الْيَهُودُ وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «حَتَّى مَتَى تُبْقِينَا حَائِرِينَ بِشَأْنِكَ؟ إِنْ كُنْتَ أَنْتَ الْمَسِيحَ حَقّاً، فَقُلْ لَنَا صَرَاحَةً».So the Jews gathered around Him and demanded, “How long will You keep us in suspense? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly.”

25فَأَجَابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «قُلْتُ لَكُمْ، وَلكِنَّكُمْ لَا تُصَدِّقُونَ. وَالأَعْمَالُ الَّتِي أَعْمَلُهَا بِاسْمِ أَبِي، هِيَ تَشْهَدُ لِي.“I already told you,” Jesus replied, “but you did not believe. The works I do in My Father’s name testify on My behalf.

26وَلكِنَّكُمْ لَا تُصَدِّقُونَ لأَنَّكُمْ لَسْتُمْ خِرَافِي.But because you are not My sheep, you refuse to believe.

27فَخِرَافِي تُصْغِي لِصَوْتِي، وَأَنَا أَعْرِفُهَا وَهِيَ تَتْبَعُنِي،My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me.

28وَأُعْطِيهَا حَيَاةً أَبَدِيَّةً، فَلا تَهْلِكُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَلا يَنْتَزِعُهَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ يَدِي.I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them out of My hand.

29إِنَّ الآبَ الَّذِي أَعْطَانِي إِيَّاهَا هُوَ أَعْظَمُ مِنَ الْجَمِيعِ، وَلا يَقْدِرُ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَنْتَزِعَ مِنْ يَدِ الآبِ شَيْئاً.My Father who has given them to Me is greater than all. No one can snatch them out of My Father’s hand.

30أَنَا وَالآبُ وَاحِدٌ!»I and the Father are one.”

31فَرَفَعَ الْيَهُودُ، مَرَّةً ثَانِيَةً، حِجَارَةً لِيَرْجُمُوهُ.At this, the Jews again picked up stones to stone Him.

32فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أَرَيْتُكُمْ أَعْمَالاً صَالِحَةً كَثِيرَةً مِنْ عِنْدِ أَبِي، فَبِسَبَبِ أَيِّ عَمَلٍ مِنْهَا تَرْجُمُونَنِي؟»But Jesus responded, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone Me?”

33أَجَابُوهُ: «لا نَرْجُمُكَ بِسَبَبِ أَيِّ عَمَلٍ صَالِحٍ، بَلْ بِسَبَبِ تَجْدِيفِكَ: لأَنَّكَ تَجْعَلُ نَفْسَكَ اللهَ، وَأَنْتَ إِنْسَانٌ!»“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.”

34فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أَلَيْسَ مَكْتُوباً فِي شَرِيعَتِكُمْ: أَنَا قُلْتُ إِنَّكُمْ آلِهَةٌ؟Jesus replied, “Is it not written in your Law: ‘I have said you are gods’?

35فَإِذَا كَانَتِ الشَّرِيعَةُ تَدْعُو أُولئِكَ الَّذِينَ نَزَلَتْ إِلَيْهِمْ كَلِمَةُ اللهِ آلِهَةً وَالْكِتَابُ لَا يُمْكِنُ أَنْ يُنْقَضَIf he called them gods to whom the word of God came—and the Scripture cannot be broken—

36فَهَلْ تَقُولُونَ لِمَنْ قَدَّسَهُ الآبُ وَبَعَثَهُ إِلَى الْعَالَمِ: أَنْتَ تُجَدِّفُ، لأَنِّي قُلْتُ: أَنَا ابْنُ اللهِ؟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?

37إِنْ كُنْتُ لَا أَعْمَلُ أَعْمَالَ أَبِي، فَلا تُصَدِّقُونِي.If I am not doing the works of My Father, then do not believe Me.

38أَمَّا إِنْ كُنْتُ أَفْعَلُ ذلِكَ، فَصَدِّقُوا تِلْكَ الأَعْمَالَ، إِنْ كُنْتُمْ لَا تُصَدِّقُونَنِي أَنَا. عِنْدَئِذٍ تَعْرِفُونَ وَيَتَأَكَّدُ لَكُمْ أَنَّ الآبَ فِيَّ وَأَنَا فِيهِ».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.”

39فَأَرَادُوا ثَانِيَةً أَنْ يُلْقُوا الْقَبْضَ عَلَيْهِ، وَلَكِنَّهُ أَفْلَتَ مِنْ أَيْدِيهِمْ،At this, they tried again to seize Him, but He escaped their grasp.

40وَرَجَعَ إِلَى الضَّفَّةِ الْمُقَابِلَةِ مِنْ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ، حَيْثُ كَانَ يُوحَنَّا يُعَمِّدُ مِنْ قَبْلُ، وَأَقَامَ هُنَاكَ.Then Jesus went back across the Jordan to the place where John had first been baptizing, and He stayed there.

41فَجَاءَ إِلَيْهِ كَثِيرُونَ وَهُمْ يَقُولُونَ: «مَا عَمِلَ يُوحَنَّا آيَةً وَاحِدَةً، وَلكِنَّ كُلَّ مَا قَالَهُ عَنْ هَذَا الرَّجُلِ كَانَ حَقّاً!»Many came to Him and said, “Although John never performed a sign, everything he said about this man was true.”

42وَآمَنَ بِهِ كَثِيرُونَ هُنَاكَ.And many in that place believed in Jesus.
