Capitulum X

[10] "Amen, amen dico vobis: Qui non intrat per ostium in ovile ovium, sed ascendit aliunde, ille fur est et latro; 2 qui autem intrat per ostium, pastor est ovium. 3 Huic ostiarius aperit, et oves vocem eius audiunt, et proprias oves vocat nominatim et educit eas. 3 To him the porter opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 Et cum proprias oves emiserit, ante eas vadit, et oves illum sequuntur, quia sciunt vocem eius; 5 alienum autem non sequuntur, sed fugient ab eo, quia non noverunt vocem alienorum. 4 And when he has sent forth his own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice; 5 But they do not follow a stranger, but will flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers. "6 Hoc proverbium dixit eis Iesus illi; autem non cognoverunt quid loqueretur eis. "6 Jesus told them this proverb, but they did not know what he was saying to them. 7 Dixit ergo eis iterum Iesus: "Amen, amen dico vobis quia ego sum ostium ovium. 7 Then Jesus said to them again: "Amen, amen I say to you that I am the door of the sheep." 8 Omnes, quotquot venerunt, fures sunt et latrones, sed non audierunt eos oves. 8 All, as many as came, are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9 Ego sum ostium: per me si quis introierit, salvabitur et ingredietur et egredietur et pascua inveniet. 10 Fur non venit, nisi ut furetur et mactet et perdat; ego veni ut vitam habeant et abundantius habeant. 10 The thief does not come except to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life and have it more abundantly.

11 Ego sum pastor bonus: bonus pastor animam suam dat pro ovibus; 12 mercennarius et, qui non est pastor, cuius non sunt oves propriae, videt lupum venientem et dimittit oves et fugit -- et lupus rapit et dispergit oves. 13 Mercennarius autem fugit quia mercennarius est et non pertinet ad eum de ovibus. 13 But the mercenary flees because he is a mercenary and the sheep do not belong to him. 14 Ego sum pastor bonus et cognosco meas et cognoscunt me meae, 15 sicut novit me Pater et ego agnosco Patrem et animam meam pono pro ovibus. 14 I am the good shepherd and I know mine and mine know me, 15 as the Father knows me and I know the Father and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 Et alias oves habeo, quae non sunt ex hoc ovili, et illas oportet me adducere, et vocem meam audient et fiet unum ovile unus pastor. 16 And I have other sheep, which are not of this fold, and I must bring them, and they will hear my voice, and one flock will become one shepherd. 17 Propterea me Pater diligit, quia ego pono animam meam ut iterum sumam eam. 18 Nemo tollit eam a me, sed ego pono eam a me ipso. Potestatem habeo ponendi eam et potestatem habeo iterum sumendi eam. Hoc mandatum accepi a Patre meo.

19 Dissensio iterum facta est inter Iudaeos propter sermones hos.20 Dicebant autem multi ex ipsis: "Daemonium habet et insanit! Quid eum auditis? Why do you hear him? 21 Alii dicebant: "Haec verba non sunt daemonium habentis! Numquid daemonium potest caecorum oculos aperire?" Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?" 22 Facta sunt autem encenia in Hierosolymis et hiemps erat 23 et ambulabat Iesus in templo in porticu Salomonis. 24 Circumdederunt ergo eum Iudaei et dicebant ei: "Quousque animam nostram tollis? 24 Then the Jews surrounded him and said to him: "How long will you take our lives? Si tu es Christus, dic nobis palam!" 25 Respondit eis Iesus: "Loquor vobis et non creditis; opera, quae ego facio in nomine Patris mei, haec testimonium perhibent de me. 25 Jesus answered them: "I speak to you and you do not believe; the works which I do in the name of my Father bear witness of me. 26 Sed vos non creditis, quia non estis ex ovibus meis. 27 Oves meae vocem meam audiunt, et ego cognosco eas, et sequuntur me, 28 et ego vitam aeternam do eis, et non peribunt in aeternum, et non rapiet eas quisquam de manu mea. 29 Pater meus quod dedit mihi, maius omnibus est, et nemo potest rapere de manu Patris mei. 29 What my Father has given me is greater than all, and no one can snatch it from the hand of my Father. 30 Ego et Pater unum sumus." 31 Sustulerunt lapides Iudaei ut lapidarent eum. 32 Respondit eis Iesus: "Multa opera bona ostendi vobis ex Patre meo. 32 Jesus answered them: "Many good works to show you from my Father. Propter quod eorum opus me lapidatis?" 33 Responderunt ei Iudaei; "De bono opere non lapidamus te, sed de blasphemia et quia tu, homo cum sis, facis te ipsum Deum." 33 The Jews answered him; "We do not stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy, and because you, being a man, make yourself God." 34 Respondit eis Iesus: "Nonne scriptum est in lege vestra: 'Ego dixi: dii estis'? 35 Si illos dixit deos ad quos sermo Dei factus est, et non potest solvi scriptura, 36 quem Pater sanctificavit et misit in mundum vos dicitis quia blasphemas quia dixi 'Filius Dei sum'? 35 If he said they were gods to whom the word of God was made, and scripture cannot be resolved, 36 whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, do you say that you blaspheme because I said 'I am the Son of God'? 37 Si non facio opera Patris mei, nolite credere mihi; 38 si autem facio, et si mihi non vultis credere, operibus credite ut cognoscatis et credatis quia in me est Pater et ego in Patre." 39 Quaerebant ergo eum prendere; et exivit de manibus eorum.

40 Et abiit iterum trans Iordanen, in eum locum ubi erat Iohannes baptizans primum, et mansit illic. 40 And he went again across the Jordan, to the place where John was first baptizing, and he remained there. 41 Et multi venerunt ad eum et dicebant: "Iohannes quidem signum fecit nullum; 42 omnia autem, quaecumque dixit Iohannes de hoc, vera erant." 41 And many came to him and said: "John indeed did no sign; 42 but everything that John said about this was true." Et multi crediderunt in eum illic.
