< John 6 >

1 After these things, Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, which is also called the Sea of Tiberias.
Shure kwaizvozvi, Jesu akayambuka akaenda mhiri kumahombekombe eGungwa reGarirea (ndiro Gungwa reTibheriasi),
2 A great multitude followed him, because they saw his signs which he did on those who were sick.
uye vazhinji zhinji vakamutevera nokuti vakanga vaona zviratidzo zvaakanga aita pavarwere.
3 Jesus went up into the mountain, and he sat there with his disciples.
Ipapo Jesu akakwira pagomo akagara pasi navadzidzi vake.
4 Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand.
Mutambo wavaJudha wePasika wakanga wava pedyo.
5 Jesus therefore, lifting up his eyes and seeing that a great multitude was coming to him, said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread, that these may eat?”
Jesu akati asimudza meso ake akaona vanhu vazhinji zhinji vachiuya kwaari, akati kuna Firipi, “Tichatenga chingwa kupiko chokuti vanhu ava vadye?”
6 He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.
Akabvunza izvi achida chete kumuedza, nokuti akanga atoziva kare mupfungwa dzake zvaakanga achizoita.
7 Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may receive a little.”
Firipi akamupindura akati, “Mubayiro unoshandirwa kwemwedzi misere haugoni kutenga chingwa chinokwana mumwe nomumwe hake, kuti awane chimedu!”
8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him,
Mumwe wavadzidzi vake, Andirea, mununʼuna waPetro, akati,
9 “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these among so many?”
“Houno mukomana ane zvingwa zviduku zvebhari nehove mbiri, asi zvingasvikepiko pakati pavanhu vakawanda zvakadai?”
10 Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in that place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
Jesu akati, “Itai kuti vanhu vagare pasi.” Panzvimbo iyo pakanga pano uswa huzhinji kwazvo, uye varume vakagara pasi vakanga vachikarosvika zviuru zvishanu.
11 Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those who were sitting down, likewise also of the fish as much as they desired.
Ipapo Jesu akatora zvingwa zviya, akavonga, uye akazvigovera kuna vaya vakanga vagara pasi mumwe nomumwe paaida napo. Akaita zvimwe chetezvo nehove.
12 When they were filled, he said to his disciples, “Gather up the broken pieces which are left over, that nothing be lost.”
Vakati vadya vose, akati kuvadzidzi vake, “Unganidzai zvimedu zvose zvasara. Musarega zvichiraswa.”
13 So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves, which were left over by those who had eaten.
Saka vakazviunganidza zvikazara matengu gumi namaviri nezvimedu zvezvingwa zvebhari zvishanu, zvakanga zvasiyiwa navaya vakanga vadya.
14 When therefore the people saw the sign which Jesus did, they said, “This is truly the prophet who comes into the world.”
Vanhu vakati vaona chiratidzo chakanga chaitwa naJesu, vakatanga kuti, “Zvirokwazvo uyu ndiye muprofita aifanira kuuya panyika.”
15 Jesus therefore, perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, withdrew again to the mountain by himself.
Jesu, akaziva kuti vaida kumumanikidza kuti vamuite mambo, akabvazve, akaenda kugomo ari oga.
16 When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea.
Nguva yamadekwana yakati yasvika, vadzidzi vake vakaburuka vakaenda kugungwa,
17 They entered into the boat, and were going over the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them.
uko kwavakandopinda mugwa vakasimuka vakayambuka vakaenda mhiri kwegungwa vakananga kuKapenaume. Zvino kwakanga kwasviba, uye Jesu akanga asati ava pavari.
18 The sea was tossed by a great wind blowing.
Mhepo ine simba yakanga ichivhuvhuta uye kukava namafungu ane hasha.
19 When therefore they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near to the boat; and they were afraid.
Vakati vakwasva igwa kwamakiromita angaita mashanu kana matanhatu, vakaona Jesu achiuya kuigwa, achifamba pamusoro pemvura; uye vakatya zvikuru.
20 But he said to them, “It is I. Don’t be afraid.”
Asi iye akati kwavari, “Ndini; musatya.”
21 They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat. Immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.
Ipapo vakafara kumugamuchira mugwa; pakarepo igwa rakasvika kumahombekombe kwavakanga vakananga.
22 On the next day, the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except the one in which his disciples had embarked, and that Jesus hadn’t entered with his disciples into the boat, but his disciples had gone away alone.
Fume mangwana, vanhu vazhinji vakanga vasara mhiri kwegungwa vakatanga kuona kuti pakanga pachingova neigwa rimwe chete ipapo, uye kuti Jesu haana kunge apinda mariri kuti aende navadzidzi vake, asi kuti vakanga vaenda vari voga.
23 However, boats from Tiberias came near to the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.
Ipapo mamwe magwa aibva kuTibheriasi akasvika pedyo nenzvimbo yakanga yadyirwa chingwa navanhu shure kwokuvonga kwaShe.
24 When the multitude therefore saw that Jesus wasn’t there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.
Vazhinji vakati vaona kuti Jesu navadzidzi vake vakanga vasisipo, vakapinda mumagwa ndokuenda kuKapenaume vachitsvaka Jesu.
25 When they found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?”
Vakati vamuwana ari mhiri kwegungwa vakamubvunza vakati, “Rabhi, makauya kuno riniko?”
26 Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, you seek me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled.
Jesu akapindura akati, “Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti, muri kunditsvaka, kwete nokuda kwokuti makaona zviratidzo, asi nokuda kwokuti makadya zvingwa uye mukaguta.
27 Don’t work for the food which perishes, but for the food which remains to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has sealed him.” (aiōnios g166)
Musashandira zvokudya zvinopera, asi shandirai zvokudya zvinogara kuupenyu husingaperi zvamuchapiwa noMwanakomana woMunhu. Mwari Baba vakaisa chisimbiso chavo paari.” (aiōnios g166)
28 They said therefore to him, “What must we do, that we may work the works of God?”
Ipapo vakamubvunza vakati, “Tinofanira kuita seiko kuti tiite mabasa anodikanwa naMwari?”
29 Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.”
Jesu akapindura akati, “Basa raMwari nderiri: kuti mutende kuna iye waakatuma.”
30 They said therefore to him, “What then do you do for a sign, that we may see and believe you? What work do you do?
Saka vakamubvunza vakati, “Muchatiratidza chiratidzo cheiko chatingaona kuti tigokutendai? Muchaiteiko?
31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness. As it is written, ‘He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.’”
Madzibaba edu akadya mana murenje; sezvazvakanyorwa zvichinzi: ‘Akavapa chingwa chakabva kudenga kuti vadye.’”
32 Jesus therefore said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you, it wasn’t Moses who gave you the bread out of heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven.
Jesu akati kwavari, “Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri, haasi Mozisi akakupai chingwa chakabva kudenga, asi kuti ndiBaba vangu vanokupai chingwa chezvokwadi chinobva kudenga.
33 For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world.”
Nokuti chingwa chaMwari ndiye anoburuka achibva kudenga uye anopa upenyu kunyika.”
34 They said therefore to him, “Lord, always give us this bread.”
Ivo vakati, “Ishe, kubva zvino zvichienda mberi, tipei chingwa ichi.”
35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will not be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.
Ipapo Jesu akataura achiti, “Ndini chingwa choupenyu. Ani naani anouya kwandiri haangatongovi nenzara, uye ani naani anotenda kwandiri haangatongovi nenyota.
36 But I told you that you have seen me, and yet you don’t believe.
Asi sezvandakakuudzai, makandiona uye hamutendi nazvino.
37 All those whom the Father gives me will come to me. He who comes to me I will in no way throw out.
Zvose zvandinopiwa naBaba zvichauya kwandiri, uye ani naani anouya kwandiri handingatongomurasiri kure.
38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
Nokuti handina kuburuka kubva kudenga kuti ndizoita kuda kwangu asi kuti ndizoita kuda kwaiye akandituma.
39 This is the will of my Father who sent me, that of all he has given to me I should lose nothing, but should raise him up at the last day.
Uye uku ndiko kuda kwaiye akandituma, kuti ndirege kurasikirwa navose vaakandipa, asi kuti ndivamutse pazuva rokupedzisira.
40 This is the will of the one who sent me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.” (aiōnios g166)
Nokuti kuda kwaBaba vangu ndiko kuti ani naani anotarira kuMwanakomana agotenda kwaari achava noupenyu husingaperi, uye ndichamumutsa pazuva rokupedzisira.” (aiōnios g166)
41 The Jews therefore murmured concerning him, because he said, “I am the bread which came down out of heaven.”
Ipapo, vaJudha vakatanga kugununʼuna pamusoro pake nokuti akati, “Ndini chingwa chakaburuka kubva kudenga.”
42 They said, “Isn’t this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then does he say, ‘I have come down out of heaven’?”
Vakati, “Ko, uyu haasi Jesu, mwanakomana waJosefa here, watinoziva baba vake namai vake? Zvino anotaura sei achiti, ‘Ndakaburuka kubva kudenga’?”
43 Therefore Jesus answered them, “Don’t murmur among yourselves.
Jesu akapindura akati, “Regai kugununʼuna pakati penyu.
44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him; and I will raise him up in the last day.
Hakuna munhu angauya kwandiri kunze kwokunge Baba vakandituma vamukweva, uye ndichamumutsa pazuva rokupedzisira.
45 It is written in the prophets, ‘They will all be taught by God.’ Therefore everyone who hears from the Father and has learned, comes to me.
Muvaprofita makanyorwa muchinzi: ‘Vose vachadzidziswa naMwari.’ Ani naani anoteerera kuna Baba uye anodzidza kubva kwavari anouya kwandiri.
46 Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from God. He has seen the Father.
Hakuna munhu akaona Baba kunze kwouyo anobva kuna Mwari; ndiye chete akaona Baba.
47 Most certainly, I tell you, he who believes in me has eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri, uyo anotenda ndiye ano upenyu husingaperi. (aiōnios g166)
48 I am the bread of life.
Ndini chingwa choupenyu.
49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and they died.
Madzitateguru enyu akadya mana mugwenga, asi vakafa.
50 This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, that anyone may eat of it and not die.
Asi hechino chingwa chinobva kudenga, chinoti kana munhu akadya haangafi.
51 I am the living bread which came down out of heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. Yes, the bread which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.” (aiōn g165)
Ndini chingwa chipenyu chakaburuka kubva kudenga. Kana munhu upi zvake akadya chingwa ichi, achararama nokusingaperi. Chingwa ichi inyama yangu, yandichapa nokuda kwoupenyu hwenyika.” (aiōn g165)
52 The Jews therefore contended with one another, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
Ipapo vaJudha vakatanga kukakavadzana zvikuru pakati pavo vachiti, “Munhu uyu angatipa nyama yake kuti tiidye seiko?”
53 Jesus therefore said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you don’t have life in yourselves.
Jesu akati kwavari, “Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti, kana musingadyi nyama yoMwanakomana woMunhu nokunwa ropa rake, hamuna upenyu mamuri.
54 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. (aiōnios g166)
Ani naani anodya nyama yangu nokunwa ropa rangu anogara mandiri, uye ini maari. (aiōnios g166)
55 For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
Nokuti nyama yangu ndicho chokudya chaicho.
56 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me, and I in him.
Ani naani anodya nyama yangu uye anonwa ropa rangu anogara mandiri, neni maari.
57 As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on me will also live because of me.
Sezvo Baba vapenyu vakandituma uye ndichirarama nokuda kwaBaba, saizvozvo uyo anodya pandiri achararama nokuda kwangu.
58 This is the bread which came down out of heaven—not as our fathers ate the manna and died. He who eats this bread will live forever.” (aiōn g165)
Ichi ndicho chingwa chakaburuka kubva kudenga. Madzitateguru enyu akadya mana uye akafa, asi ani naani anodya chingwa ichi achararama nokusingaperi.” (aiōn g165)
59 He said these things in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
Akataura izvi paakanga achidzidzisa ari musinagoge muKapenaume.
60 Therefore many of his disciples, when they heard this, said, “This is a hard saying! Who can listen to it?”
Pavakanzwa izvi, vadzidzi vake vazhinji vakati, “Kudzidzisa uku kwakaoma. Ndianiko angakugamuchira?”
61 But Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said to them, “Does this cause you to stumble?
Achiziva zvake kuti vadzidzi vake vakanga vachigununʼuna pamusoro paizvozvi, Jesu akati kwavari, “Izvi zvinokugumburai here?
62 Then what if you would see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?
Muchaita sei kana mukaona Mwanakomana woMunhu achikwira achienda kwaaimbova kare!
63 It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.
Mweya ndiye anopa upenyu, nyama haina chainobatsira. Mashoko andataura kwamuri ndiwo mweya, uye ane upenyu.
64 But there are some of you who don’t believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who didn’t believe, and who it was who would betray him.
Asi vamwe venyu varipo vasingatendi.” Nokuti Jesu akanga achiziva kubva pakutanga kuti ndivanaani pakati pavo vakanga vasingatendi uye kuti ndiani aizomupandukira.
65 He said, “For this cause I have said to you that no one can come to me, unless it is given to him by my Father.”
Akaenderera mberi achiti, “Ndokusaka ndakuudzai kuti hakuna munhu angauya kwandiri kunze kwokunge azvipiwa naBaba.”
66 At this, many of his disciples went back and walked no more with him.
Kubva panguva iyi vadzidzi vake vazhinji vakadzokera shure uye vakasazomutevera.
67 Jesus said therefore to the twelve, “You don’t also want to go away, do you?”
Jesu akabvunza vane gumi navaviri akati, “Nemiwo hamusi kuda kuenda here?”
68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Simoni akati, “Ishe, tichaenda kuna aniko? Imi mune mashoko oupenyu husingaperi. (aiōnios g166)
69 We have come to believe and know that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Tinotenda uye tinoziva kuti ndimi Mutsvene waMwari.”
70 Jesus answered them, “Didn’t I choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?”
Ipapo Jesu akati, “Handina kukusarudzai, imi vane gumi navaviri here? Asi mumwe wenyu ndidhiabhori!”
71 Now he spoke of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, for it was he who would betray him, being one of the twelve.
Akanga achireva Judhasi, mwanakomana waSimoni Iskarioti, uyo, kunyange akanga ari mumwe wavane gumi navaviri, aizomupandukira.
