Johanes 10 - Herero Revision Bible (HRR)

1. Growth

1 Corinthians 3:1-3
“Brothers and sisters, I could not address you as people who live by the Spirit but as people who are still worldly—mere infants in Christ. I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it…”

Similar to how babies rely on their mother’s milk to grow, you also require the nourishment of God’s Word to mature and flourish spiritually. As believers of God, your primary need is spiritual nourishment. Just like pure milk, God’s Word serves as your spiritual food that enables us to thrive.

By being nourished, you grow as the life of God increases within you. Jesus, as a man on earth, lived his life this way, serving as an excellent model for you to follow. Your hunger can only be satisfied when you live not only on physical food, but also on God’s Word. This is how you can find satisfaction and strength to continue living the Christian life.

2. Guidance

Isaiah 30:20 Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”

Did you know that the Bible acts as a treasure trove of wisdom if you are seeking guidance in life. It’s a powerhouse of insights and knowledge that can help you navigate life’s twists and turns, make better choices, and grow towards spiritual and emotional maturity. The Bible also helps us to grow in resilience and in our actions.

3. To hear God’s voice

John 10:27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.

Effective communication is important in any relationship, and God is the conductor of life’s symphony. The Bible acts as a portal for you to hear God’s voice with clarity and wisdom, leading to discernment and righteous actions that glorify Christ.

4. Because its eternal

Matthew 24:35 “Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear.”

The promises in the Bible stay with you forever as you read the Bible each day. Unlike worldly things that eventually fade, the teachings rooted in Christ endure. By reading the Bible, you discover what is eternal and can apply these principles to your daily lives on earth so that you can live with an eternal perspective in the here and now.

5. It keeps you from sin

Psalms 119:11 I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.

Having a strong foundation in God’s Word is essential for living a Christian life, shaping you into the image of Christ, renewing your minds, and keeping you from sin. Reading, studying, and memorizing the Bible helps you gain an understanding of God, Jesus’ teachings, and how to live a faithful life and to stay on the right track.

Omasanekero womurise

1 Jesus wa tjere: “Tjiri, tjiri, ami me mu raere ouatjiri, omundu ngu hi nokuhitira momuvero wotjunda tjozonḓu, nungwari ngu ma rurumine mo parwe, eye erunga nomupunde woviṋa. 2 Omundu ngu ma hitire momuvero eye omurise wozonḓu. 3 Omutjevere wopomuvero me mu patururire omuvero; ozonḓu maze zuu eraka re, eye tji ma isana ozonḓu ze aihe peke kena, neye me ze hongorere okupitisa. 4 Nu tje ze pitisa, me ze hongorere, nozo aze mu kongorere, tjinga amaze tjiwa eraka re. 5 Ozo kaze nokukongorera omundu warwe, nungwari maze tupuka okuza po pu ye, tjinga aze hi nokutjiwa eraka re.”

7 Jesus wa hungirire rukwao a tja: “Tjiri, tjiri, ami me mu raere ouatjiri, owami omuvero wozonḓu. 8 Ovandu avehe, mba tenga po ku ami, owo omarunga novapunde voviṋa, nungwari ozonḓu kaze puratenene ko ku wo. 9 Owami ngu mbi ri omuvero. Auhe ngu ma hitire mu ami ma yamwa; eye ma hiti na piti na kamuna omaryo. 10 Erunga ri hitira okuvaka nokuzepa nokunyona. Ami mbe era kutja eṋe mu kare nomuinyo, omuinyo omuingi okuura.

11 “Owami ngu mbi ri omurise omuwa. Omurise omuwa u yandjera ozonḓu ze omuinyo we. 12 Nomuyazeme ngu he ri omurise, nu ngu he ri omuini wozonḓu tja munu ombungu amai ya, eye ma isa ozonḓu na tupuka; nombungu mai hakana inḓa ozonḓu nai ze pizire mokati. 13 Omuyazeme ma tupuka, tjinga e ri omuyazeme uriri, nu tjinga e hi na ko na tja nozonḓu. 14 Owami ngu mbi ri omurise omuwa. Ami me tjiwa ozonḓu zandje, nozonḓu zandje ze ndji i, 15 notja Tate punga ame ndji tjiwa, ami wina opunga ambi i Tate; nami me yandjere ozonḓu zandje omuinyo wandje. 16 Ami mbi nozonḓu zarwe nḓe hiya rira ozotjunda hi. Ozo wina mbi sokukezeeta; ozo maze puratene keraka randje aze rire orupanda rumwe rwozonḓu nḓe nomurise umwe.

17 “Tate we ndji suvera, ami tjinga ambi nombango okuyandja omuinyo wandje kokutja mbi u kotore rukwao. 18 Kape nomundu ngu ma isa mo omuinyo wandje mu ami, me u yandja nombango yandje omuini. Ami mbi nousemba okuuyandja nu wina mbi nousemba okuukotora. Inga onge ri omarakiza Tate nge ndji pa kutja mbi ye yenenise.”

19 Nomambo nga ya eta okuhinakuzuvasana rukwao mokati kOvajuda. 20 Ovengi vawo va tjere: “Eye u nombepo ohakohoke! Wa vera oviyoze! Mamu puratenene tjike ku ye?”

21 Nungwari ovakwao ave tja: “Omambo nga kawomundu ngu nombepo ohakohoke! Ombepo ohakohoke mai sora vi okupaturura omeho wovapoṱu?”

25 Jesus wa zirire a tja: “Ami mbe mu raera rukuru, nungwari eṋe kamu vanga okukambura mu ami. Oviungura mbi mbi ungura mena ra Tate ombi ndji hongonona kutja owami aṋi. 26 Nungwari eṋe kamu vanga okukambura, orondu kaweṋe ozonḓu zandje. 27 Ozonḓu zandje ze puratena keraka randje; ami mbi ze i, nozo ze ndji kongorera. 28 Me zepe omuinyo waaruhe, nozo kamaaze pandjara. Kape nomundu ngu me ze hakana mu ami. 29 Inḓa Tate nḓe ndji pa ozo ozonanḓengu pu avihe, nu kape nomundu ngu me ze hakana momake wa Tate. 30 Ami na tate tuvemwe.”

31 Ovajuda arire tji va toora omawe kutja ve mu vete. 32 Nungwari Jesus a tja ku wo: “Ami mba ungura oviungura ovingi oviwa komurungu weṋu Tate mbye ndji pa; notjiungura tjiṋe tji mamu vanga okundjizepera nomawe?”

33 Owo va zirire ave tja: “Ka motjimbe tjotjiungura otjiwa ngamwa pu matu ku vetere nomawe, nungwari omotjimbe tjokutja ove wa yamburura Ndjambi. Nu ngunda au ri omundu uriri, mo ritjindi aayo oove Ndjambi!”

34 Jesus arire tja ziri a tja: “Momatwako weṋu oveni mwa tjangwa kutja Ndjambi wa tja: ‘Oweṋe oomukuru.’ 35 Matu tjiwa kutja imbi omatjangwa mbi maye hee ovyo ouatjiri nga aruhe; nu Ndjambi imba mba pewa embo re we ve tja oomukuru. 36 Nungwari ami mba toororwa i Tate ne ndji hindi kouye. Neṋe mamu tjere tjike ami mba yamburura Ndjambi tji mba tja owami Omuna wa Ndjambi? 37 Nu amu kambura ko mu ami ndovazu ami hi nokuungura oviungura Tate mbye vanga kutja mbi ungure. 38 Nungwari ami tji me vi ungura, nangarire kutja kamu nokukambura mu ami, tjinenenene kambureye mwi moviungura vyandje, mu tjiwe nawanawa kutja Tate u ri mu ami, nami mbi ri mu Tate.”

39 Nowo arire tji va hara okumukambura rukwao, neye a poṋa momake wawo a i.
