John 6
1 After this, Jesus crossed the Sea of Galilee – otherwise called the Lake of Tiberias.
baada ya makowe aga, Yesu kayenda kwiye ya bahari ya Galilaya, pia ukemwa bahari ya Tiberia.
2 A great crowd of people, however, followed him, because they saw the signs of his mission in his work among those who were sick.
Kipenga kikolo sa bandu satikunkengama kwa mana babweni ishara azipangite kwa babile atamwe.
3 Jesus went up the hill, and sat down there with his disciples.
Yesu aobwike nnani hadi upande wa nnani ya kitombe ni tama kwoo ni anapenzi bake.
4 It was near the time of the Jewish Festival of the Passover.
(Ni Pasaka, Sikukuu ya Ayahudi yabile imekaribia)
5 Looking up, and noticing that a great crowd was coming towards him, Jesus said to Philip, ‘Where are we to buy bread for these people to eat?’
Yesu paatondobiyea minyo gake nnani kubona kipenga kikolo sa bandu waisa kwake, kammakiya Filipo.”Tuyende kwaako kupemea mikate ili haba pandu baweze lyaa?”
6 He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he meant to do.
(Lakini Yesu kalongela aga kwa Filipo kwa kumgeya kwa mana ywembe atangite chakukipanga).
7 ‘Even if we spent a years’ wages on bread,’ answered Philip, ‘it would not be enough for each of them to have a little.’
Filipo kanyangwa, “Hata mikate ya garamia dinari mia ibele itosha kwaa hata kila yumo lya kipande kichunu.”
8 ‘There is a boy here,’ said Andrew, another of his disciples, Simon Peter’s brother,
Andrea yumo ywa anapunzi bake nnongowe Simoni Petro kammakiya
9 ‘Who has five barley loaves and two fish; but what is that for so many?’
Yesu, “pabile ni nnalome pano abile na mikate mitano ni omba abele, lakini yafaa namani kwa bandu banyansima namna yee?”
10 ‘Make the people sit down,’ said Jesus. It was a grassy spot; so the people, who numbered about five thousand, sat down,
Yesu kaabakiya, “Muamakiye batami pae” (pabile ni manyei yanansima pandu palo). Pabile ni analome kati elfu tano batami pae.
11 and then Jesus took the loaves, and, after saying the thanksgiving, distributed them to those who were sitting down; and the same with the fish, giving the people as much as they wanted.
Yesu kaitola yelo mikate mitani kashukuru ni kubagea balo babile batami. Nyo nyonyo kabagawia ni omba kadri yabapala.
12 When they were satisfied, Jesus said to his disciples, ‘Collect the broken pieces that are left, so that nothing may be wasted.’
Bandu pabayukwite, atikuamakiya anapunzi bake, “Mwikusanye ipande ya mabaki, yalekwile ili kana kipotee chochote.”
13 The disciples did so, and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves, which were left after all had eaten.
Bai kabakusanya ni kuijaza itondo komi ni ibele, ipande ya mikate mitano ya shahiri-ipande yalekwile ni balo babile lyaa.
14 When the people saw the signs which Jesus gave, they said, ‘This is certainly the prophet who was to come into the world.’
Boka po bandu kababweni ishara yee yaaipangite kababaya, “Kweli yolo nga yolo nabii ywaisa mu'ulimwengu.”
15 But Jesus, having discovered that they were intending to come and carry him off to make him king, went again up the hill, quite alone.
Yesu paatangite kuwa bapala kuntaba ili bampange kuwa mfalme wabe, atikuitenga, kae na kuyenda pakitombe ywembe kichake.
16 When evening fell, his disciples went down to the sea,
Paiikite kitamwinyo, anapunzi bake batiuluka yenda mu'bahari.
17 and, getting into a boat, began to cross to Capernaum. By this time darkness had set in, and Jesus had not yet come back to them;
Bateobuka mu'ngalaba ni babile kabaloka yenda Kapernaumu. (Libendo lyabile lajingya ni Yesu abile bado kaisa kwabe)
18 the sea, too, was getting rough, for a strong wind was blowing.
muda wowo pabile ni upepo mkale uisile, ni bahari yaibile itisapuka.
19 When they had rowed three or four miles, they caught sight of him walking on the water and approaching the boat, and they were frightened.
Anapunzi bake babile bakombwile makasia kati ishirini na tano au thelathini, bamweni Yesu ayenda kunani ya bahari kuikaribia ngalaba, ni kuogopa.
20 But Jesus said to them, ‘It is I; do not be afraid!’
Lakini kaamakiya, “Ni nenga! kana muyogope.”
21 And after this they were glad to take him into the boat; and the boat at once arrived off the shore, for which they had been making.
Kae babile tayari kumpotwa mu'ngalaba, ni mata ngalaba yaikite mu'nnema wabile kabayenda.
22 The people who remained on the other side of the sea had seen that only one boat had been there, and that Jesus had not gone into it with his disciples, but that they had left without him.
Lisoba lya naibele, kipenga sa bandu sayemi upande wa bahari sabweni kuwa ntopo ngalaba yenge ila wolo ambao Yesu ni anapunzi bake babile baupandile kwaa lakini anapunzi bake baboi bembe.
23 Some boats, however, had come from Tiberias, from near the spot where they had eaten the bread after the Master had said the thanksgiving.
(Ingawa, pabile ni baadhi ya ngalaba yabokite Tiberia papipi ni pandu palyaa mikate baada ya Ngwana kutoa shukrani).
24 So, on the next day, when the people saw that Jesus was not there, or his disciples either, they themselves got into the boats, and went to Capernaum to look for him.
Wakati bandu batangite kuwa ni Yesu kwaa wala anapunzi bake babile kolyo, bembe baobite mu'ngalaba ni kuyenda Kapernaumu kunkengama Yesu.
25 And, when they found him on the other side of the sea, they said, ‘When did you get here, Rabbi?’
Baada ya kumpata upande wenge wa bahari kabanlaluya, “rabi uisile lini kuno?”
26 ‘In truth I tell you,’ answered Jesus, ‘it is not because of the signs which you saw that you are looking for me, but because you had the bread to eat and were satisfied.
Yesu kabayangwa, kaamakiya, Amini, amini, mwalowa kunipala nenga, kwamana muibweni ishara, ila kwa mana mulya mikate na kuyukwita.
27 Work, not for the food that perishes, but for the food that lasts for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you; for on him the Father – God himself – has set the seal of his approval.’ (aiōnios g166)
Muleke kukipangia kazi chakulya chaharibika, ila mkipangie kazi chakula cha haribika kwaa hata milele chelo ambacho mwana wa Adamu awapeya, kwa kuwa Nnongo Tate aubekite muhuri nnani yake.” (aiōnios g166)
28 ‘How,’ they asked, ‘are we to do the work that God wants us to do?’
Boka po kabammakiya, “Tupange namani ili kuzipanga kazi za Nnongo?
29 ‘The work that God wants you to do,’ answered Jesus, ‘is to believe in him whom God sent as his messenger.’
Yesu kayangwa, “Ayee nga kazi ya Nnongo: mmwamini ywembe ywaatumite.”
30 ‘What sign, then,’ they asked, ‘are you giving, which we may see, and so believe you? What is the work that you are doing?
Atikwabakiya, “Ni ishara yaako walowa kwipanga, ili twaweza kuibona ni kuiaminiya? Walowa panga namani?
31 Our ancestors had the manna to eat in the desert; as scripture says – “He gave them bread from heaven to eat.”’
Tate bitu walya manna mu'lijangwa, kati yabile yaandikwile, “Atikwapeya mikate boka kumaunde ili balyee.”
32 ‘In truth I tell you,’ replied Jesus, ‘Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but my Father does give you the true bread from heaven;
Yesu kanyangwa, “Amini, amini, Musa kwaa ywaawapeya mkate boka kumaunde, ila Tate bango nga awapeile mkate boka kumaunde.
33 for the bread that God gives is that which comes down from heaven, and gives life to the world.’
Kwa kuwa mkate wa Nnongo nga wolo uulukile boka kumaunde ni kuupata ukoto mu'ulimwengu.
34 ‘Master,’ they exclaimed, ‘give us that bread always!’
Kammakiya,'Ngwana utupeye woo mkate wote.”
35 ‘I am the life-giving bread,’ Jesus said to them, ‘whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never thirst again.
Yesu aamakiye, “Nenga nga mkate wa ukoto, ywembe ywaisa kwango apatike kwaa njala ni ywembe ywaniaminiye aibweni kwaa kiu kamwe.”
36 But, as I have said already, you have seen me, and yet you do not believe in me.
Ingawa natikuabakiya kuwa, muibweni, na bado muamini kwaa.
37 All those whom the Father gives me will come to me; and no one who comes to me will I ever turn away.
Bote ambao Tate anipeile balowa isa kwango, ni yeyote ywaisa kwango nalowa kuntaikwa panja.
38 For I have come down from heaven, to do, not my own will, but the will of him who sent me;
Kwa kuwa natiuluka boka kumaunde, kwaajili ya panga kwaa mapenzi yango, ila mapenzi yake ywanitumile.
39 and his will is this – that I should not lose one of all those whom he has given me, but should raise them up at the Last day.
Nga aga nga mapenzi gake ywanitumile, kana nimpoteze hata yumo wa balo anipeile, ila nalowa kubafufua lisoba lya mwisho.
40 For it is the will of my Father that everyone who sees the Son, and believes in him, should have immortal life; and I myself will raise him up at the Last day.’ (aiōnios g166)
kwa mana aga nga mapenzi ga Tate bango, kuwa yeyote ywanlolekeya Mwana ni kumwamini apate ukoto wanga yomoka; ni nenga nalowa kubafufua lisoba lya mwisho. (aiōnios g166)
41 The people began murmuring against Jesus for saying – “I am the bread which came down from heaven.”
Ayahudi kabanung'unika kuhusu ywembe kwa mana abayite, “Nenga nga mkate uboka kumaunde.”
42 ‘Is not this Jesus, Joseph’s son,’ they asked, ‘whose father and mother we know? How is it that he now says that he has come down from heaven?’
Kababaya, “Ayo Yesu kwaa mwana wa Yusufu, ywabile tate bake ni mao bake twawatangite? Ipalikwa namani nambeambe abayite,'Natiuluka kuoma kumaunde?”
43 ‘Do not murmur among yourselves,’ said Jesus in reply.
Yesu kaayangwa, kaabakiya, “Kana mnung'unike nkati yinu mwabene.
44 ‘No one can come to me, unless the Father who sent me draws him to me; and I will raise him up at the Last day.
Ntopo mundu ywaisa bila potwa na Tate bango ywanitumile, ni nenga nalowa kumfufua lisoba lya mwisho.
45 It is said in the prophets – “And they will all be taught by God.” Everyone who is taught by the Father and learns from him comes to me.
Kwa kuwa iandikilwe mu'manabii,'balowa pundishwa ni Nnongo.' Kila ywayowine ni kuipundisha kuoma kwa Tate, uisa kwango.
46 Not that anyone has seen the Father, except him who is from God – he has seen the Father.
Ntopo mundu ywamweni Tate, ila ywembe ywaisa boka kwa Nnongo-amweni Tate.
Amini, amini ywembe aaminiye abile ni ukoto wange yomoka. (aiōnios g166)
48 I am the life-giving bread.
Nenga nga mkate wa ukoto.
49 Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, and yet died.
Tate binu kabalya manna mu'lijangwa, no waa.
50 The bread that comes down from heaven is such that whoever eats of it will never die.
Awoo nga mkate uboite kuoma kumaunde, ili mundu aulye ipande yake ili kana abulagilwe.
51 I am the living bread that has come down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, they will live for ever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.’ (aiōn g165)
Nenga nga mkate watama wabile uulukite kuoma kumaunde. Kati mundu yoyote ywaalya ipande ya mkate woo, alowa tama milele. Mkate waniuboile nga yega yango kwaajili ya ukoto wa Ulimwengu.” (aiōn g165)
52 They began disputing with one another, ‘How is it possible for this man to give us his flesh to eat?’
Ayahudi kabakasirika bene kwa bene ni kuanza bishana no baya, “Mundu yolo aweza kinamani kutupeya yega yake tuulye?”
53 ‘In truth I tell you,’ answered Jesus, ‘unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink his blood, you have not life within you.
Boka po Yesu kaamakiya, “Amini amini, mana muuliye kwaa yega ya mwana wa Adamu ni kuinywea mwai yake, kana mubile kwaa ni ukoto nkati yinu.
54 Everyone who takes my flesh for their food, and drinks my blood, has eternal life; and I will raise them up at the Last day. (aiōnios g166)
Yeyote ywalyaa yega yango ni kwinywea mwai wango abile ni ukoto wangeyomoka, ni nenga nalowa kumfufua lisoba lya mwisho. (aiōnios g166)
55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood true drink.
Kwa kuwa yega yango ni chakulya cha kweli, ni mwai wango ni kinywaji cha kweli.
56 Everyone who takes my flesh for their food, and drinks my blood, remains united to me, and I to them.
Ywembe ywaulyaa yega yango ni kwinywea mwai yango aloa tama nkati yango, ni nenga nkati yake.
57 As the living Father sent me as his messenger, and as I live because the Father lives, so the person who takes me for their food will live because I live.
Kati Tate ywabile ni ukoto ywanitumile, na kati nenga niishivyo kwa sababu ya Tate, ni ywembe pia atama kwa sababu yango.
58 That is the bread which has come down from heaven – not such as your ancestors ate, and yet died; the person who takes this bread for their food will live for ever.’ (aiōn g165)
Awoo nga mkate uboite kuoma kumaunde, kati yabile tate balye kababulagilwa. Ywembe ywaulyaa mkate woo alowa tama milele. (aiōn g165)
59 All this Jesus said in a synagogue, when he was teaching in Capernaum.
Yesu abayite makowe aga nkati ya sinagogi abile akipundisha kolyo Kapernaumu.
60 On hearing it, many of his disciples said, ‘This is harsh doctrine! Who can bear to listen to it?’
Bengi ba anapunzi bake kabayowine aga, kababaya, “Alee lipundisho gumu nyai ywaweza kulipokya?”
61 But Jesus, aware that his disciples were murmuring about it, said to them,
Yesu kwasababu atangite ya kuwa anapunzi bake babile batikulinung'unikya likowe lee, Kaamakiya je likowe lee lyatikuwakwaza?
62 ‘Is this a hindrance to you? What, then, if you should see the Son of Man ascending where he was before?
Ipangika buli pabamweni mwana wa Adamu atiuluka kuoma kwaabile kabla?
63 It is the Spirit that gives life; human strength achieves nothing. In the teaching that I have been giving you there is Spirit and there is life.
Roho nga ayeya ukoto. Yega ufaidi kwaa kilebe chochote. Maneno yaniyabayite kwinu nga roho nga ni ukoto.
64 Yet there are some of you who do not believe in me.’ For Jesus knew from the first who they were that did not believe in him, and who it was that would betray him;
Bado kwabile na bandu kati yinu baaminiye kwaa. kwasababu Yesu atangite tangu mwanzo yolo ywabile aweza kwaa kuaminiya ni ywembe ywamsalitiye.
65 and he added, ‘This is why I told you that no one can come to me, unless enabled by the Father.’
Kam'bakiya, ni kwa sababu yee nikubakiyange kwamba ntopo mundu ywaweza kuisa kwango ibile kwaa apeilwe ni Tate.”
66 After this many of his disciples drew back, and did not go about with him any longer.
Baada ya aga anapunzi bake baibgi batibuyangana nnchogo ni batikengamana nakwe kwaa kae.
67 So Jesus said to the Twelve, ‘Do you also wish to leave me?’
Yesu kaamakiya balo komi na ibele, “Je ni mwenga mwapala kuboka?”
68 But Simon Peter answered, ‘Master, to whom would we go? Eternal life is in your teaching; (aiōnios g166)
Simoni Petro kannyangwa, “Ngwana tuyende kwa nyai kwani wenga ubile ni maneno ga ukoto wangeyomoka, (aiōnios g166)
69 and we have learned to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God.’
ni twatuaminiya ni kuyowa kuwa wenga nga Mtakatifu wa Nnongo.”
70 ‘Didn’t I myself choose you to be the Twelve?’ replied Jesus, ‘and yet, even of you, one is playing the devil’s part.’
Yesu kaamakiya, “Je nenga niwachawile kwaa mwenga, ni yumo winu nga ibilisi?
71 He meant Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, who was about to betray him, though he was one of the Twelve.
Nambeambe abile kalongela kuhusu Yuda, mwana wa Simoni Iskariote, kwa kuwa abile ni ywembe abile yumo wa balo komi ni ibele, ywabile ywamsalitie Yesu.
