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.
Eyi akyi no, Yesu kɔɔ tɔnn kotwaa Galilea Po, a ɛyɛ Tiberia Po no.
2 A great multitude followed him, because they saw his signs which he did on those who were sick.
Esiane sɛ nkurɔfo huu sɛ Yesu nam anwonwakwan so asa nnipa pii yare no nti, wodii nʼakyi.
3 Jesus went up into the mountain, and he sat there with his disciples.
Yesu ne nʼasuafo no kɔɔ bepɔw bi so kɔtenaa hɔ kakra.
4 Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand.
Saa bere no na Twam Afahyɛ no abɛn.
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?”
Bere a Yesu twaa nʼani, huu sɛ nnipakuw no reba ne nkyɛn no, obisaa Filipo se, “Ɛhe na yebenya aduan ama saa nnipa dodow yi?”
6 He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.
Yesu bisaa Filipo saa asɛm yi de sɔɔ no hwɛe, efisɛ na onim nea ɔbɛyɛ.
7 Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may receive a little.”
Filipo buae se, “Ansa na yebetumi ama saa nnipa dodow yi aduan no, ɛsɛ sɛ yenya asram awotwe akatua.”
8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him,
Andrea a ɔyɛ Simon Petro nua no kae se,
9 “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these among so many?”
“Abarimaa bi wɔ ha a ɔwɔ brodo anum ne kyenam abien; na eyi betumi aso nnipa dodow yi di?”
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.
Yesu hyɛɛ nʼasuafo no se, “Momma obiara ntena ase.” Asuafo no ma wɔtenatenaa sare no so. Na mmarima a wɔwɔ wɔn mu no dodow bɛyɛ mpem anum.
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.
Yesu faa brodo no bɔɔ mpae na ɔkyɛ maa wɔn. Ɔfaa saa kwan koro no ara so kyɛɛ kyenam no nso maa wɔn.
12 When they were filled, he said to his disciples, “Gather up the broken pieces which are left over, that nothing be lost.”
Wodidi mee akyi no, Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mommoaboa aduan a aka no ano na bi ansɛe.”
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.
Wɔboaboaa aduan a ɛkae no ano no, ɛyɛɛ nkɛntɛn dumien.
14 When therefore the people saw the sign which Jesus did, they said, “This is truly the prophet who comes into the world.”
Nnipa no huu nsɛnkyerɛnne a Yesu ayɛ no, wɔkae se, “Ampa ara, onipa yi ne odiyifo a yɛrehwɛ no kwan no.”
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.
Yesu huu sɛ nnipa no ayɛ wɔn adwene sɛ wɔbɛkyere no asi no hene no, ɔtwee ne ho fii wɔn mu kɔɔ bepɔw no so bio.
16 When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea.
Onwini dwoe no, Yesu asuafo no kɔɔ Galilea mpoano.
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.
Wɔtwɛn kosii sɛ ade sae na ɔmma no, wɔkɔtenaa ɔkorow mu se wɔrekɔ Kapernaum.
18 The sea was tossed by a great wind blowing.
Saa bere no na ahum retu wɔ po so ama po no ani afono.
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.
Wɔhare kɔɔ wɔn anim bɛyɛ akwansin abiɛsa anaa anan no, wohuu sɛ obi nam po no so reba; eyi maa ehu kaa wɔn kosii sɛ,
20 But he said to them, “It is I. Don’t be afraid.”
Yesu kae se, “Ɛyɛ me, Munnsuro!”
21 They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat. Immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.
Asuafo no pɛɛ sɛ anka wɔde no tena ɔkorow no mu, nanso ntɛm ara ɔkorow no koduu Kapernaum.
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.
Ade kyee no, nnipa a na wɔwɔ Galilea po no agya no huu sɛ ɔkorow baako pɛ na na ɛwɔ hɔ, nanso asuafo no tenaa mu kɔe a na Yesu nka wɔn ho.
23 However, boats from Tiberias came near to the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.
Ankyɛ koraa na akorow afoforo bi fi Tiberia baa faako a Awurade maa nnipakuw no aduan dii no.
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.
Bere a nnipa no huu sɛ Yesu ne nʼasuafo no nni hɔ no, wɔtenatenaa akorow no mu sɛ wɔrekɔ Kapernaum akɔhwehwɛ no.
25 When they found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?”
Woduu Kapernaum na wohuu Yesu no, wobisaa no se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, bere bɛn na wobaa ha?”
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.
Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Mereka nokware akyerɛ mo se, ɛnyɛ sɛ muhuu anwonwade a meyɛe no nti na morehwehwɛ me, na mmom sɛ munyaa aduan di mee no nti.
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)
Monnsɛe mo bere nyinaa mpere nhwehwɛ aduan a etumi sɛe no akyi kwan, na mmom mompere nhwehwɛ aduan a ɛtena hɔ daa a ɛma nkwa a enni awiei a Onipa Ba no de bɛma mo no akyi kwan. Efisɛ eyi nti na mʼAgya somaa me.” (aiōnios g166)
28 They said therefore to him, “What must we do, that we may work the works of God?”
Nnipa no bisaa no se, “Dɛn na yɛnyɛ na yɛasɔ Onyankopɔn ani?”
29 Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.”
Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Eyi ne nea Onyankopɔn pɛ sɛ moyɛ, munnye nea wasoma no no nni.”
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?
Nnipa no bisaa no bio se, “Anwonwade bɛn na wobɛyɛ akyerɛ yɛn ama yɛagye wo adi?
31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness. As it is written, ‘He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.’”
Sɛ wopɛ sɛ yegye wo di sɛ wone Agyenkwa no de a, ɛno de ma yɛn aduan nni daa sɛnea Kyerɛwsɛm no di ho adanse sɛ, Mose maa yɛn nenanom ɔsoro aduan dii wɔ sare no so.”
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.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mereka nokware akyerɛ mo se, ɛnyɛ Mose na ɔmaa mo nenanom aduan a efi ɔsoro no dii wɔ sare so hɔ no na mmom ɛyɛ mʼAgya. Na afei de, ɔma mo aduan a efi ɔsoro a ɛma nkwa a enni awiei no di daa.
33 For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world.”
Saa aduan a efi Onyankopɔn nkyɛn no ne onipa a ofi ɔsoro ba asase so na ɔde nkwa brɛ wiase no.”
34 They said therefore to him, “Lord, always give us this bread.”
Nnipa no ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Owura, ma yɛn saa aduan no bi nni daa.”
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.
Yesu kae se, “Mene brodo a ɛma nkwa no. Obiara a ɔba me nkyɛn na ogye me di no, ɔkɔm anaa osukɔm renne no da.
36 But I told you that you have seen me, and yet you don’t believe.
Sɛnea maka akyerɛ mo no, moahu me nnwuma, nanso munnye me nni.
37 All those whom the Father gives me will come to me. He who comes to me I will in no way throw out.
Obiara a mʼAgya de no ama me no bɛba me nkyɛn, na obiara a ɔbɛba me nkyɛn nso no, merempam no.
38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
Na mifi ɔsoro baa asase so sɛ merebɛyɛ nea ɔsomaa me no apɛde, na ɛnyɛ mʼapɛde.
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.
Na nea ɔsomaa me no apɛde ne sɛ mɛhwɛ wɔn a ɔde wɔn ama me no nyinaa so yiye na da a edi akyiri no, manyan wɔn ama wɔn nkwa foforo.
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)
MʼAgya apɛde ne sɛ obiara a ɔba me nkyɛn na ogye me di no benya nkwa a enni awiei, na da a edi akyiri no manyan no ama no nkwa foforo.” (aiōnios g166)
41 The Jews therefore murmured concerning him, because he said, “I am the bread which came down out of heaven.”
Yudafo no tee sɛ Yesu aka se, “Mene aduan a efi ɔsoro” no, wonwiinwii.
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’?”
Wɔkɔɔ so kae se, “Ɛnyɛ Yosef ne Maria ba ne saa Yesu yi? Ɛyɛɛ dɛn na otumi ka se ofi ɔsoro na ɔbae?”
43 Therefore Jesus answered them, “Don’t murmur among yourselves.
Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Munnyae anwiinwii no.
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.
Mommma ɛnyɛ mo nwonwa sɛ maka saa, na obiara nni hɔ a obetumi aba me nkyɛn, gye sɛ Agya no a ɔsomaa me no twe no ba me ho, na da a edi akyiri no, menyan no.
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.
Adiyifo no akyerɛw se, ‘Onyankopɔn ankasa bɛkyerɛkyerɛ ne mma.’ Ɛno nti, obiara a otie Agya no nkyerɛkyerɛ no ba me nkyɛn.
46 Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from God. He has seen the Father.
Asɛm a maka yi nkyerɛ sɛ obi ahu Agya no pɛn, gye onipa a ofi Agya no nkyɛn no.
Mereka nokwasɛm akyerɛ mo se, nea ogye di no nya nkwa a enni awiei. (aiōnios g166)
48 I am the bread of life.
Mene brodo a ɛma nkwa no.
49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and they died.
Mo nenanom dii mana wɔ sare so nso wowuwui,
50 This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, that anyone may eat of it and not die.
nanso brodo a efi ɔsoro ba no yɛ brodo a obi di a ɔrenwu da.
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)
Mene brodo a efi ɔsoro no; sɛ obi di saa brodo yi a ɔbɛtena ase daa. Brodo a mede bɛma obiara a ɔba me nkyɛn no ne me honam a mede ma, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ na wiase benya nkwa.” (aiōn g165)
52 The Jews therefore contended with one another, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
Asɛm a Yesu kaa yi maa Yudafo no bo fuwii, ma wobisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho se, “Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na saa onipa yi betumi de ne honam ama yɛn sɛ aduan ama yɛadi?”
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.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mereka nokwasɛm akyerɛ mo; moanni Onipa Ba no honam sɛ aduan na moannom ne mogya a, morennya nkwa a enni awiei.
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)
Obiara a odi me honam sɛ aduan na ɔnom me mogya no nya nkwa a enni awiei, na da a edi akyiri no menyan no ama no nkwa foforo. (aiōnios g166)
55 For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
Me honam ne aduan pa no, na me mogya nso ne nsu pa no.
56 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me, and I in him.
Obiara a odi me honam sɛ aduan na ɔnom me mogya sɛ nsu no te me mu, na me nso mete ne mu.
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.
Sɛnea Agya teasefo no somaa me na ɔno nti mete ase no, saa ara nso na obiara a odi me honam sɛ aduan no, me nti ɔbɛtena ase.
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)
Eyi ne brodo a efi ɔsoro bae. Ɛnte sɛ mana a yɛn nenanom dii wɔ sare so na wowuwui no. Saa brodo yi de, obiara a obedi bi no bɛtena ase daa.” (aiōn g165)
59 He said these things in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
Bere a na Yesu rekyerɛkyerɛ wɔ hyiadan mu wɔ Kapernaum no na ɔkaa saa nsɛm yi.
60 Therefore many of his disciples, when they heard this, said, “This is a hard saying! Who can listen to it?”
Yesu akyidifo no mu pii tee asɛm a ɔkae no, wɔkae se, “Saa asɛm yi de, ɛkyerɛ yɛn adwene. Hena na ɔbɛte ase?”
61 But Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said to them, “Does this cause you to stumble?
Yesu huu sɛ nʼakyidifo no renwiinwii no, obisaa wɔn se, “Asɛm a mekae yi to mo hintidua ana?
62 Then what if you would see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?
Ɛno de ɛba sɛ Onipa Ba no resan akɔ ɔsoro, faako a ofi bae no a, dɛn na mobɛyɛ?
63 It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.
Onyankopɔn honhom na ɛma nkwa. Onipa ntumi mma nkwa. Nsɛm a maka akyerɛ mo yi yɛ honhom na nkwa wɔ mu,
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.
nanso mo mu bi nnye nni.” Efi mfiase no na Yesu huu wɔn a wonnye no nni ne wɔn a wɔbɛtwe wɔn ho afi ne ho no.
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.”
Ɔkɔɔ so kae se, “Eyi nti na meka kyerɛɛ mo se obi ntumi mma me nkyɛn gye sɛ Agya no ama no ho kwan” no.
66 At this, many of his disciples went back and walked no more with him.
Esiane saa nsɛm a Yesu kae no nti, nʼakyidifo no mu pii twee wɔn ho fii ne ho na wɔanni nʼakyi bio.
67 Jesus said therefore to the twelve, “You don’t also want to go away, do you?”
Yesu huu saa no, obisaa asuafo dumien no se, “Mo nso mubegyae mʼakyidi ana?”
68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Simon Petro buaa no se, “Awurade, hena nkyɛn na yɛbɛkɔ? Wo na wowɔ nsɛm a ɛwɔ nkwa a enni awiei. (aiōnios g166)
69 We have come to believe and know that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Na yegye wo nsɛm no di na yenim sɛ wone Onyankopɔn Ba Kronkron no.”
70 Jesus answered them, “Didn’t I choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?”
Yesu kɔɔ so kae sɛ, “Me ara na miyii mo dumien yi, nanso mo mu baako yɛ ɔbonsam.”
71 Now he spoke of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, for it was he who would betray him, being one of the twelve.
Asɛm a Yesu kae no, na ɛfa Yuda a ɔyɛ Simon Iskariot ba no a ɔyɛ asuafo dumien no mu baako a obeyi Yesu ama no ho.
