Yoana 6
1 Ejile emisango ejo, Yesu agendele kungego ya inyanja ya Galilaya niyo eibhilikilwa Inyanja ya Tiberia.
Some time later, when Jesus was in Galilee district, near the time of the Jewish Passover celebration, Jesus went [with us disciples by boat] and crossed to another place along Galilee Lake. This lake is [also called] Tiberias Lake.
2 Echise chinene nichimulubha kwo kubha bhalolele ebhibhalikisho bhinu akolele ku bhalwae.
A large crowd of people kept following Jesus [on land] because they had been seeing the miracles he performed [by healing] sick people.
3 Yesu nalinya ingulu kulubhala lwa ingulu lwe chima neyanja eyo na bheingisibwa bhae.
Jesus went up on the hillside and sat down with [us] disciples [to teach us].
4 (Na ipasaka, ya malya ga Bhayaudi galiga gali yei).
Then he looked up and saw a great crowd of people coming toward him.
5 Yesu anaenamusha ameso Gaye aliga galiyeyi na Lola chise chinene chimujako, kumwene na mubhusha Filipo ati, “Echijaki okugula ebhilo koleleki abhanu bhanu bhabhone okulya”?
He said to Philip, “Where will we buy food for all these people to eat?”
6 (Nawe Yesu ajaikile jinu ku Filipo kumusaka kwokubha omwene aliga amenyele chinu kenda okukola).
He asked this only to find out if Philip believed what [Jesus could do], because Jesus already knew what he himself was going to do.
7 Filipo namusubya ati, “Nolwo ebilyo bye chibhalo silingi magana gabhili bhitakabheile nolwo bili umwi akabhene katoto.”
Philip replied to him, “[Even if we had] the amount of money a man earns in eight months, that would not be enough to buy bread so that each person could have a little bit!”
8 Andrea, oumwi wa bheigisibwa bhae omumula wabho Simon Petro namubwila ati
Another one of [us] disciples, Andrew, who was Simon Peter’s [younger] brother, said to Jesus,
9 Yesu, “Aliyo omusigaji anu ana emikate etanu na jiswi ebhili, nawe bhinu ni woki mubhanu bhafu kutyo?”
“There is a boy here who has five small barley loaves and two [cooked] fish. But (they will not help much among so many people!/what good will that do among so many people?) [RHQ]”
10 Yesu nabhabwila ati, “Mubheyanje abhanu asi” (bwaliga bhulio bhunyasi bwafu kulubhaju ao). Kutyo abhalune bhali uti bhisila bhitanu nibheyanja asi.
Jesus said, “Tell the people to sit down!” There was plenty of grass there, so they all sat down [comfortably]. There were about 5,000 men [among the crowd].
11 Mbe Yesu nagega emikate ejo etanu nasima na bhagabhila abhanu bhaliga bheyanjile. Kutyo kutyo nabhagabhila jiswi lya kutyo aliga mbenda.
Then Jesus took the small loaves and the fish and thanked [God] for them. Then he [gave them to us, and we] distributed the small loaves and the fish to all the people sitting on the ground. [Because God caused the food to keep increasing], everyone ate as much as they wanted.
12 Abhanu bhejile bhakeguta, nabhabwila abheigisibwa bhae ati, “Mubhikofye ebhibhutu bya jinswi, bhinu byasigae koleleki chasiga kubhulao chona chona”.
When everyone had all the food they wanted, he said to [us] disciples, “Gather up the pieces that are left over. Do not let anything be wasted!”
13 Mbe nibhakofya na nibhejusha ebibho ekumi na bhilili, ebhibhala bye mikate etanu eja jisairi-ebibhala bhinu byasigae kubhanu bhanu bhalie.
So we gathered up the pieces of the small loaves that were left over by those who had eaten. We filled twelve baskets with those pieces!
14 Mbe abhanu bhejile bhalola echibhalikisho chinu akolele nibhaika ati, “Chimali unu niwe omulagi unu kaja muchalo.”
After the people saw that miracle that Jesus had performed, [many of] them started to say, “Surely this is the prophet [like Moses] that [God promised] to send to the world!”
15 Yesu ejile amenya ati abhenda okumwagwata koleleki bhamukole kubha mukama webwe, atagene nabho, nagenda kuchima omwene enyele.
So, because Jesus realized that they were about to come and seize him to make him [their] king, he left them again and went up into the hills by himself.
16 Kwejile kwakinga kegolo, abheigisibwa bhae nibhatebhela kumwalo.
When it was evening, [we] disciples went down to [Galilee] Lake.
17 Nibhalinya mubwato nabhaliga nibhambuka okugenda Kapernaumu. (Echisute chaliga chengie na Yesu aliga achali kubhakingako kubhene).
When it became dark and Jesus had still not joined us, [we] got into a boat and went across the lake towards Capernaum [city].
18 Omwanya ogwo omuyaga gwaliga nguyemba, na inyanja nigendelela okusaluma.
A strong wind started to blow and caused the water (to become very rough/to have high waves).
19 Lindi abheigisibwa bhae bhaliga nibhafuga mafugile makumi gabhili na gatanu amwi makumi gasatu, nibhamulola Yesu nalibhata ingulu ya inyanja nafugela ku bwato, nibhobhaya.
After we had rowed (three or four miles/five or six kilometers), we saw Jesus coming near the boat; he was walking on the water! So we were terrified!
20 Nawe nabhabwila ati, “Nanye! Musige okubhayana”.
But he said to us, “Do not be afraid! It is I!”
21 Lindi bhaliga bhekilisishe okumuyeka okwingisha mubwato, ao nao obwato nibhugobha kuchalo enu bhaliga nibhaja.
We were glad to take him into the boat. As soon as [we] did that, the boat reached the shore where [we] were going!
22 Olusiku lunu lwalubhiye echise chaliga chimeleguyu kugego ya inyanja nibhalola ati bhutalio bwato bhundi tali bhunu Yesu na bheigisibwa bhae bhaliga bhachali kulinya nawe abheigisibwa bhae bhaliga bhagengele jebwe bhenyele.
The next day the crowd of people that had stayed on the other side of the lake [were perplexed about how Jesus had left that area]. They knew that there had been only one boat there [the previous day]. They knew that we had gone away in it by ourselves. They knew that Jesus had not gone with us.
23 (Amwi no kubhao amato agandi ago gasokele Tiberia ayei nanu bhaliye emikate unu Lata bhugenyi asimiye).
Then some [men came] from Tiberias [city] in boats. [They were hoping to take some of the crowd back to Tiberias]. They arrived near the place where the people had eaten the food after Jesus had given thanks [and caused it to multiply].
24 Omwanya echise bhejile bhamenya ati kubha atali Yesu nolwo abheigisibwa bhae bhaliga bhalyeyo, abhene abho bhalinyile munda ya mato nibhagenda Kapernaumu nibhamuyenja Yesu.
When the crowd realized that neither Jesus nor we disciples were there, [some of] them got into those boats and they sailed to Capernaum to find Jesus.
25 Bhejile bhamulola kugego yendeyo ya inyanja nibhamubhusha, “Rabi wejile enu lii?”
When they found him [in Capernaum] further around the lake, they asked him, “Teacher, [since you(sg) did not come in a boat], when [and how] did you get here?”
26 Yesu nabhasubya, nabhabwila ati, Nichimali, chimali, omuyenja anye, tali kwo kubha mwalole echibhalikisho, nawe kwo kubha mwaliye emikate no kwiguta.
Jesus replied to them, “Listen to this carefully: Do you know why you are looking for me? It is not because you saw [me perform] miracles [and as a result have realized who I really am]. No! You are looking for me [only] because you had plenty of bread to eat [after I provided it for you by performing a miracle].
27 Musige okukolela emilimu ebhilyo bhinu ebhinyamuka, nawe muchikolele emilimu ebhilyo bhinu ebhikala nolwo obhuanga bhunu omwana wo munu kabhayana, kubha Nyamuanga Lata amuteyeo omuuli ingulu yaye.” (aiōnios g166)
Stop desiring food that will soon spoil! Instead, desire to get [spiritual] food that will last forever! Yearn for eternal life! That is what I, the one who came from heaven, will give you. God [my] Father has shown that he approves of me [enabling me to do that].” (aiōnios g166)
28 Mbe nibhamulola ati, “Nichinuki chinu chiile okukola koleleki okujikola emilimu ja Nyamuanga?”
Then the people asked him, “What things should we do [to please] God?”
29 Yesu nasubya ati, “gunu nigwo omulimu gwa Nyamuanga: Ati mumwikilishe omwene antumile.”
Jesus replied, “What God [wants you] to do is this: He wants you to believe that [I am] the one he has sent.”
30 Mbe nibhamubwila ati, “Ni chibhalikishoki chinu ouja okukola ati echitula okulola no kwikilisha? Oukola chinuki?
So they said to him, “Then perform [another] miracle so that we may see it and believe that [you came from God]. What miracle would you like to perform?
31 Bhalata bheswe bhaliye ebhilo ebhala, lwa kutyo jandikilwe, “Abhayaye emikate okusoka mulwile koleleki bhalye.”
Our ancestors ate the [food called] manna [that God provided for them by a miracle] in the desolate area. This is written {[The Psalmist] wrote this} [in the Scriptures] about [what Moses caused to happen: ] ‘He gave them food from heaven to eat.’ [Will you perform a miracle like that]?”
32 Mbe Yesunabhasubya ati, “Nichimali, chimali, atali Musa oyoabhayeye omukate okusoka mulwile, nawe Lata wani niwe kabhayana omukate gwe chimali okusoka mulwile.
So Jesus said to them, “The truth is that it was not Moses who gave your [ancestors] that food from heaven. No, it was my Father [who gave it to them. And my Father is the one] who gives you the true food from heaven.
33 Kwokubha omukate gwa Nyamuanga ni guliya okwika okusoka mulwile no kuyana obhuanga echalo.
The true bread from God came down from heaven, and he is the one who will give [eternal] life to [the people of] the world [MTY].”
34 Mbe nibhamubya ati, “Lata bhugenyi chiyane omukate gunu omwanya gwona.”
[Not understanding what he meant], they said to him, “Sir, give us that kind of bread all the time!”
35 Yesu nabhabwila ati, “Anye nanye omukate gwo bhuanga, unu kanyijako kwanye atalilumwa mweko no mwene unu kanyikilisha atalitwa bhulilo kata.”
Jesus said to them, “[Just like] food [MET] [sustains physical life], I am the [one who enables you to have spiritual] life. Those who [eat ordinary food and drinks will later be hungry and thirsty]. But those who come to me [to receive that life] will never again [lack anything spiritually].
36 Nawe nabhabwila ati, mwandola, na muchali kunyikilisha.
I told you before that you have seen my [miracles, but after seeing them, instead of understanding who I am], you have not believed in me.
37 Bhona bhanu Lata kanana bhalija kwanye, wona wona unu kaja kwanye nitalimwesa anja katyali.
All the people that [my] Father entrusts to me will come to me, and I will certainly (welcome/never send away) [LIT] anyone who comes to me.
38 Kwo kubha nisokele mulwile, tali kwo kukola kwenda kwani, nawe okwenda kwaye unu antumile.
When I came down from heaven, it was not to do what I want. Instead, I came to do what ([God/my Father]), who sent me, wants.
39 Na ganu nigo okwenda kweye unu antumile ati, nisige okumubhusha nolwo umwi ku bhaliya ananile, nawe enebhasulula ku lusiku lwa kubhutelo.
What the one who sent me wants is that I (keep forever all/never lose any) [LIT] of those whom he has entrusted to me. He wants me to cause all of them to become alive again (on the last day/on the day [when I judge everyone]) [MTY].
40 Kwo kubha kunu nikokwenda kwa Lata wani ati, wona wona unu kamulola Omwana no kunyikilisha abhone obhuanga bwa kajanende; nanye ndimusulula ku lusiku lwo bhutelo. (aiōnios g166)
[Long ago in the desolate area when those who were bitten by snakes looked at the bronze replica of a snake, they were healed] [MET]. What my Father wants is that [similarly] everyone who looks at [what] I [have done] and believes in me will have eternal life. I will cause them to become alive again (on the last day/on the day [when I judge everyone]) [MTY].” (aiōnios g166)
41 Mbe Abhayaudi nibhetong'anila kwo kubha aikile, “Anye ni mukate ogwo gwekile okusoka mulwile.”
The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] began to grumble about him because he said, “I am the one who is [like] true bread who came down from heaven.”
42 Nibhaika ati, “Unu atali Yesu omwana wa Yusufu, unu esemwene wae na nyilamwene wae chimumenyele? Yabha kutiki woli kaika, 'Nasokele mulwile'?”
They said, “(This man is Jesus, the son of Joseph!/Isn’t this man the son of Joseph?) [RHQ] We know [the names of] both his father and his mother. [He certainly did not come from heaven], so (he is [lying] by saying ‘I came from heaven.’/why is he now saying, ‘I came from heaven?’) [RHQ]”
43 Yesu nasubya, nabhabwila ati, “musige kwitong'anila emwe abhene.
Jesus replied to them, “Stop grumbling among yourselves [about what I just said]!
44 Atali unu kaja kwanye akalema okukululwa na Lata wani unu antumile nanye ndimusulula ku lusiku lwo bhutelo.
[My] Father, who sent me, makes people want to come to me. No others will come to me [to receive eternal life]. Those who come to me are the only ones who will believe in me. I will (cause them to be alive again/raise them [from the dead]) (on the last day/on the [judgment] day).
45 Kwo kubha jandikilwe mu bhalagi, 'Bhaliigisibwa na Nyamuanga.' Bhuli unu kongwa no kwiigila okusoka ku Lata kaja kwanye.
It was written ([by one of the prophets/by the prophet Isaiah]) {([One of the prophets/The prophet Isaiah]) wrote} [about all those who will trust in me], ‘God will teach them all.’ Everyone who listens to what [my] Father [says] and learns from him will (come to/believe in) me.
46 Tali ati alio omunu oyo amulolele Lata, atali unu asokele ku Nyamuanga-amulolele Lata.
I came from God. I am the only one who has seen [my] Father. No one else has seen him.
Listen to this carefully: Everyone who believes ([my message/in me]) has eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
48 Anye nili mukate gwo bhuanga.
[Just like] food [MET] [sustains your physical life], I am the [one who enables you to have spiritual] life.
49 Bhesomwana bhemwe bhaliye ebhilyo ibhala, na nibhafwa.
Even though your ancestors ate the manna [while they were traveling] in the desolate area, they died [anyway].
50 Bhinu nibyo ebhilyo bhinu dbhisoka mulwile' koleleki omunu alyeko kulubhala lwae koleleki atafwa.
But the bread [I am talking about] is something that came down from heaven. If people eat that bread, their [spirits] will never die.
51 Anye ni bhilyo bhinu ebhiyanja bhisokele okusoka mulwile. Alabha omunu wona wona akalya kulubhala bye bhilyo bhinu, alibha muanga kajanende. Ebhilyo bhinu ndigabha ni mubhili gwani kulwo bhuanga bwa isi.” (aiōn g165)
I am the one who came down from heaven to enable people to have [spiritual] life. If people take what I will give them, they will live forever. What I will give them is my flesh, which I will give to [all the people in] [MTY] the world in order that they may have [spiritual] life.” (aiōn g165)
52 Abhayauda nibhabhiililwa abhene kwa bhene na nibhamba okubhambashanya nbhaika ati, “Omunu unu katulaatiki okuchiana omubhili gwae chigulye?”
Then the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] began to argue among themselves. They said, “(There is no way this man can give us his flesh to eat!/How can this man give us his flesh to eat?)” [RHQ]
53 Mbe Yesu nabhabwila ati, “Nichimali, chimali, mukalema okugulya omubhili gwo Mwana wo Munu no kunywa amanyinga gae, mutakubha no bhuanga muda yemwe.
So, [speaking figuratively of the need for them to accept for themselves the benefits of his sacrificing himself and shedding his blood to atone for their sins] [MET], Jesus said to them, “Listen carefully to this: [Although] I am the one who came from heaven, if you do not eat my flesh and drink my blood, you will not have eternal life.
54 Wona wona unu kalya omubhili gwani no kunywa amanyinga gani anabho ubhuanga bwa kajanende, anye enimusulula kulusiku lwo bhutelo. (aiōnios g166)
Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will cause them to become alive again at (the last day/the [judgment] day), (aiōnios g166)
55 Kwo kubha omubhili gwani no bhilyo bye chimali, na manyinga gani nicho echo kunywa check chimali.
because my flesh and my blood are truly spiritual food.
56 Unu kalya omubhili gwani no kunywa amanyinga gani kekala mwanye, nanye mu mwene.
Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood will have a close relationship with me, and I will have a close relationship with them.
57 Alabha Lata omwene ni wo bhuanga antumile, na kutyo kekala kwo kubha Lata, na unu ona kalama kwo bhutulo bwani.
[My] Father, who is the [source of everything that] lives, sent me, and I live because [my] Father has [given me life]. Similarly those who eat my [flesh] will live [eternally] because of what I [do for them].
58 Gunu nigwo omukate gunungwasokele mulwile, atali lwa bhalata kutyo bhaliye nibhafwa. Unu kagulyaomukate gunu kalama kajanende. (aiōn g165)
[I am] the true bread that came down from heaven. Although our ancestors ate [manna], they [later] died [anyway]. But those who eat this bread will live forever.” (aiōn g165)
59 Yesu aikile emisango jinu munda ya likofwanya bhunu aliga neigisha eyo Kapernaumu.
He said this while he was teaching people in (the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place) in Capernaum.
60 Now abhafu bha bheigisibwa bhae bhejile bhongwa ganu, nibhaika ati, “Linu niigisho ekomeye niga kalitula okulilamila?”
After they heard him say that, many of his disciples said, “What he is teaching is hard [to understand]; (it is very difficult for anyone to accept it!/how can anyone accept it?) [RHQ]”
61 Yesu kwo kubha amenyele atiebheigisibwa bhae bhaliga mbetong'anila emisango jinu, nabhabwila ati mbe omisango gunu nigwo ogubhekujusha?
Jesus was aware that his disciples were grumbling about it, so he said to them, “(I am sorry that this is offending you./Is this offending you?) [RHQ]
62 Mbe jilibha kutiki alibha mwamulola omwana wo munu neka okusoka anu aliga okwamba?
([Perhaps you will believe my message] if you see me, the one who came from heaven, ascending [there] to where I was before!/[(What will you think if you see me], the one who came from heaven, ascending [there] to where I was before)?) [RHQ]
63 Ni mwoyo nigwo ogutamo obhuanga. Omubhili gutakusakila chinu chona chona. Emisango jinu naika kwemwe ni mwoyo na no bhuanga.
[God’s] Spirit is the one who gives people [eternal] life. Human efforts are no help at all [for giving people eternal life]. The message I have spoken to you [gives spiritual] life (OR, [comes from] God’s Spirit [and gives eternal] life.)
64 Mbe nawe bhachalio abhunu agati yemwe bhanu bhatakwilisha.” kwo kubha Yesu amenyele kusokelela okwamba unu atakutula okwikilisha no mwene unu alija okumulomela inuku.
But there are some of you who do not believe [my message.” Jesus said that] because he knew from the time he started [MTY] [his ministry] which of them would not believe his message. He also knew who would (betray him/enable his enemies to seize him).
65 Nabhabwila ati, ni kwokubha linu nabhabwiliye ati atalio omunu unu katula okuja kwanye tali ayanibwe na Lata.”
Then he continued by saying, “That is why I told you that only those whom my Father has enabled [to believe in me] will come to me [and receive eternal life].”
66 Abha ya jinu abheigisibwa bhae bhafu bhasubhile inyuma nibhalema okulibhatila nage lindi.
From that [time], many of his disciples left him and no longer went with him.
67 Yesu nabhabwila bhaliya ekumina bhabhili, “Mbe nemwe omwenda okugenda?”
So he said to [us] twelve [apostles], “You do not want to leave me also, do you?”
68 Simoni Petro namusubya ati, “Lata bhugenyi chije kuga kubha awe uli ne misango Jo bhuanga bwa kajanende, (aiōnios g166)
Simon Peter replied to him, “Lord, [we] will not [leave you], [because] (there is no other person [like you] to whom we can go!/what other person is there like [you] to whom we can go?) [RHQ] You have the message about eternal life! (aiōnios g166)
69 Na chekilisha no kumenya kubha awe nimwelu wa Nyamuanga.”
We have come to believe for certain that you are the holy one [who has come] from God!”
70 Yesu nabhabwila ati, “Mbe anye nitabhasolele emwe, no umwi wemwe ni shetani?
Then Jesus replied to us, “[You are saying that as though all] you twelve [men] whom I have chosen [RHQ] believe that. But one of you is [under the control of] Satan!”
71 Woli aliga naika ku Yuda, omwana wa Simoni Iskariote, kwo kubha aliga niwe unu umwi wa bhaliya ekumina na bhabhili, unu niwe kamulomela inuku Yesu.
He was talking about Judas, the [son] of Simon, from Kerioth [village]. [Even though] Judas was one of us twelve [apostles], he was about (to betray Jesus/to enable Jesus’ enemies to seize him).
