Juan 10

EL LIBRO DEL PUEBLO DE DIOS	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 «Les aseguro que el que no entra por la puerta en el corral de las ovejas, sino por otro lado, es un ladrón y un asaltante.	1 “Amen, amen, I say to you, he who does not enter through the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up by another way, he is a thief and a robber.
2 El que entra por la puerta es el pastor de las ovejas.	2 But he who enters through the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 El guardián le abre y las ovejas escuchan su voz. El llama a cada una por su nombre y las hace salir.	3 To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name, and he leads them out.
4 Cuando las ha sacado a todas, va delante de ellas y las ovejas lo siguen, porque conocen su voz.	4 And when he has sent out his sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
5 Nunca seguirán a un extraño, sino que huirán de él, porque no conocen su voz».	5 But they do not follow a stranger; instead they flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.”
6 Jesús les hizo esta comparación, pero ellos no comprendieron lo que les quería decir.	6 Jesus spoke this proverb to them. But they did not understand what he was saying to them.
7 Entonces Jesús prosiguió: «Les aseguro que yo soy la puerta de las ovejas.	7 Therefore, Jesus spoke to them again: “Amen, amen, I say to you, that I am the door of the sheep.
8 Todos aquellos que han venido antes de mí son ladrones y asaltantes, pero las ovejas no los han escuchado.	8 All others, as many as have come, are thieves and robbers, and the sheep did not listen to them.
9 Yo soy la puerta. El que entra por mí se salvará; podrá entrar y salir, y encontrará su alimento	9 I am the door. If anyone has entered through me, he will be saved. And he shall go in and go out, and he shall find pastures.
10 El ladrón no viene sino para robar, matar y destruir. Pero yo he venido para que las ovejas tengan Vida, y la tengan en abundancia.	10 The thief does not come, except so that he may steal and slaughter and destroy. I have come so that they may have life, and have it more abundantly.
11 Yo soy el buen Pastor. El buen Pastor da su vida por las ovejas.	11 I am the good Shepherd. The good Shepherd gives his life for his sheep.
12 El asalariado, en cambio, que no es el pastor y al que no pertenecen las ovejas, cuando ve venir al lobo las abandona y huye. y el lobo las arrebata y la dispersa.	12 But the hired hand, and whoever is not a shepherd, to whom the sheep do not belong, he sees the wolf approaching, and he departs from the sheep and flees. And the wolf ravages and scatters the sheep.
13 Como es asalariado, no se preocupa por las ovejas.	13 And the hired hand flees, because he is a hired hand and there is no concern for the sheep within him.
14 Yo soy el buen Pastor: conozco a mis ovejas, y mis ovejas me conocen a mí	14 I am the good Shepherd, and I know my own, and my own know me,
15 –como el Padre me conoce a mí y yo conozco al Padre– y doy mi vida por las ovejas.	15 just as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. And I lay down my life for my sheep.
16 Tengo, además, otras ovejas que no son de este corral y a las que debo también conducir: ellas oirán mi voz, y así habrá un solo Rebaño y un solo Pastor.	16 And I have other sheep that are not of this fold, and I must lead them. They shall hear my voice, and there shall be one sheepfold and one shepherd.
17 El Padre me ama porque yo doy mi vida para recobrarla.	17 For this reason, the Father loves me: because I lay down my life, so that I may take it up again.
18 Nadie me la quita, sino que la doy por mí mismo. Tengo el poder de darla y de recobrarla: este es el mandato que recibí de mi Padre».	18 No one takes it away from me. Instead, I lay it down of my own accord. And I have the power to lay it down. And I have the power to take it up again. This is the commandment that I have received from my Father.”
19 A causa de estas palabras, se produjo una nueva división entre los judíos.	19 A dissension occurred again among the Jews because of these words.
20 Muchos de ellos decían: «Está poseído por un demonio y delira. ¿Por qué lo escuchan?».	20 Then many of them were saying: “He has a demon or he is insane. Why do you listen him?”
21 Otros opinaban: «Estas palabras no son de un endemoniado. ¿Acaso un demonio puede abrir los ojos a los ciegos?».	21 Others were saying: “These are not the words of someone who has a demon. How would a demon be able to open the eyes of the blind?”
22 Se celebraba entonces en Jerusalén la fiesta de la Dedicación. Era invierno,	22 Now it was the Feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem, and it was winter.
23 y Jesús se paseaba por el Templo, en el Pórtico de Salomón.	23 And Jesus was walking in the temple, in the portico of Solomon.
24 Los Judíos lo rodearon y le preguntaron: «¿Hasta cuándo nos tendrás en suspenso? Si eres el Mesías, dilo abiertamente».	24 And so the Jews surrounded him and said to him: “How long will you hold our souls in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.”
25 Jesús les respondió: «Ya se lo dije, pero ustedes no lo creen. Las obras que hago en nombre de mi Padre dan testimonio de mí,	25 Jesus answered them: “I speak to you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in the name of my Father, these offer testimony about me.
26 pero ustedes no creen, porque no son de mis ovejas.	26 But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep.
27 Mis ovejas escuchan mi voz, yo las conozco y ellas me siguen.	27 My sheep hear my voice. And I know them, and they follow me.
28 Yo les doy Vida eterna: ellas no perecerán jamás y nadie las arrebatará de mis manos.	28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall not perish, for eternity. And no one shall seize them from my hand.
29 Mi Padre, que me las ha dado, es superior a todos y nadie puede arrebatar nada de las manos de mi Padre.	29 What my Father gave to me is greater than all, and no one is able to seize from the hand of my Father.
30 El Padre y yo somos una sola cosa».	30 I and the Father are one.”
31 Los judíos tomaron piedras para apedrearlo.	31 Therefore, the Jews took up stones, in order to stone him.
32 Entonces Jesús dijo: «Les hice ver muchas obras buenas que vienen del Padre; ¿Por cuál de ellas me quieren apedrear?».	32 Jesus answered them: “I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?”
33 Los judíos le respondieron: «No queremos apedrearte por ninguna obra buena, sino porque blasfemas, ya que, siendo hombre, te haces Dios».	33 The Jews answered him: “We do not stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy and because, though you are a man, you make yourself God.”
34 Jesús les respondió: «¿No está escrito en la Ley: "Yo dije: Ustedes son dioses"?	34 Jesus responded to them: “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said: you are gods?’
35 Si la Ley llama dioses a los que Dios dirigió su Palabra –y la Escritura no puede ser anulada–	35 If he called those to whom the word of God was given gods, and Scripture cannot be broken,
36 ¿Cómo dicen: "Tú blasfemas", a quien el Padre santificó y envió al mundo, porque dijo: "Yo soy Hijo de Dios"?	36 why do you say, about him whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You have blasphemed,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God?’
37 Si no hago las obras de mi Padre, no me crean;	37 If I do not do the works of my Father, do not believe in me.
38 pero si las hago, crean en las obras, aunque no me crean a mí. Así reconocerán y sabrán que el Padre está en mí y yo en el Padre».	38 But if I do them, even if you are not willing to believe in me, believe the works, so that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I am in the Father.”
39 Ellos intentaron nuevamente detenerlo, pero el se les escapó de las manos.	39 Therefore, they sought to apprehend him, but he escaped from their hands.
40 Jesús volvió a ir al otro lado del Jordán, al lugar donde Juan había bautizado, y se quedó allí.	40 And he went again across the Jordan, to that place where John first was baptizing. And he lodged there.
41 Muchos fueron a verlo, y la gente decía: «Juan no ha hecho ningún signo, pero todo lo que dijo de este hombre era verdad».	41 And many went out to him. And they were saying: “Indeed, John accomplished no signs.
42 Y en ese lugar muchos creyeron en él.	42 But all things whatsoever that John said about this man were true.” And many believed in him.
