MSG ^(6-10)Jesus told this simple story, but they had no idea what he was talking about. So he tried again. “I’ll be explicit, then. I am the Gate for the sheep. All those others are up to no good—sheep rustlers, every one of them. But the sheep didn’t listen to them. I am the Gate. Anyone who goes through me will be cared for—will freely go in and out, and find pasture. A thief is only there to steal and kill and destroy.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

πάντες ὅσοι ἦλθον πρὸ ἐμοῦ

all as_much_as came before me

Everyone here is an exaggeration that refers to the majority of Israel’s leaders, including the Pharisees and other Jewish leaders. Not every leader of Israel throughout history was wicked, but most were. If this might confuse your readers, you could use an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: [Most leaders who came before me]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

κλέπται & καὶ λῃσταί

thieves & and robbers

Here Jesus uses thief and robber to refer to the Jewish leaders who were deceiving the people. If this might confuse your readers, you could use a simile. Alternate translation: [like a thief and a robber]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

κλέπται & καὶ λῃσταί

thieves & and robbers

The words translated thief and robber describe two different kinds of criminals. See how you translated this expression in 10:1. Alternate translation: [a thief or a robber]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τὰ πρόβατα

the sheep

In this verse, Jesus uses sheep to refer specifically to the Jewish people who believed in him. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the sheep who follow me] or [the sheep, my disciples]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

οὐκ ἤκουσαν αὐτῶν

not heard ˱from˲_them

Here, hear means listening to something with the intent to heed it and respond appropriately. It does not mean simply to hear what someone says. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [did not heed them]
