Johannes 6
1 Sidan for Jesus burt til hi sida av Galilæa- eller Tiberias-sjøen.
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 Og det fylgde honom mykje folk, av di dei såg dei teikni han gjorde på dei sjuke.
A large crowd of people kept following Jesus [on land] because they had been seeing the miracles he performed [by healing] sick people.
3 Men Jesus gjekk upp i fjellet, og der sette han seg med læresveinarne sine.
Jesus went up on the hillside and sat down with [us] disciples [to teach us].
4 Det leid då mot påskehelgi åt jødarne.
Then he looked up and saw a great crowd of people coming toward him.
5 Som no Jesus såg upp og vart var at det kom mykje folk til honom, segjer han til Filip: «Kvar skal me kjøpa brød, so desse folki kann få noko å eta?»
He said to Philip, “Where will we buy food for all these people to eat?”
6 Det sagde han av di han vilde røyna honom; for han visste sjølv kva han vilde gjera.
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 «Brød for eit halvt hundrad dalar rekk ikkje til, so kvar av deim kann få eit lite stykke, » svara Filip.
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 Ein av læresveinarne hans - det var Andreas, bror åt Simon Peter - segjer til honom:
Another one of [us] disciples, Andrew, who was Simon Peter’s [younger] brother, said to Jesus,
9 «Her er ein liten gut som hev fem byggbrød og tvo fiskar, men kva er det åt so mange?»
“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 «Lat folket setja seg!» sagde Jesus. Det var mykje gras på den staden; so sette mennerne seg; dei var um lag fem tusund i talet.
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 Då tok Jesus brødi, og takka, og skifte deim ut til deim som sat der, og like eins av fiskarne, so mykje dei vilde hava.
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 Då dei var mette, segjer han til læresveinarne: «Sanka i hop dei molarne som att er, so ingen ting vert spillt!»
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 So gjorde dei det, og dei fyllte tolv korger med molarne som var att av dei fem byggbrødi etter deim som hadde ete.
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 Då no folket såg det teiknet han hadde gjort, sagde dei: «Dette er visst og sant profeten som skal koma til verdi!»
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 Då skyna Jesus at dei vilde koma og taka honom med magt og gjera honom til konge; difor drog han seg undan og gjekk upp i fjellet att, han åleine.
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 Då det vart kveld, gjekk læresveinarne ned til sjøen;
When it was evening, [we] disciples went down to [Galilee] Lake.
17 dei steig ut i båten og vilde fara yver sjøen, til Kapernaum. Det var alt myrkt vorte, og Jesus var endå ikkje komen til deim.
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 Bårorne gjekk høgt; for det bles ein hard vind.
A strong wind started to blow and caused the water (to become very rough/to have high waves).
19 Då dei so hadde rott umlag ei halv mil eller halvtridje fjordung, ser dei at Jesus kjem gangande på sjøen og kjem næmare og næmare innåt båten. Dei vart rædde,
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 men han sagde: «Det er eg; ver ikkje rædde!»
But he said to us, “Do not be afraid! It is I!”
21 Då vilde dei taka honom upp i båten, og straks var båten ved det landet dei skulde til.
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 Dagen etter stod det endå ein folkehop på hi sida av sjøen; dei hadde set at det ikkje var meir enn ein båt der, og at Jesus ikkje gjekk i båten med læresveinarne sine, men læresveinarne tok av stad åleine.
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 Men det kom båtar frå Tiberias, tett innmed den staden dei hadde halde måltid etterpå Herrens takkebøn.
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 Då no folket såg at Jesus ikkje var der, og ikkje læresveinarne hans heller, steig dei sjølve i båtarne og for til Kapernaum og leita etter Jesus,
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 og då dei fann han der, på hi sida av sjøen, sagde dei til honom: «Når kom du hit, meister?»
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 Jesus svara deim: «Det segjer eg dykk for visst og sant: Det er’kje for di de såg teikn at de leitar etter meg, men for di de åt av brødi og vart mette.
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 Vinn dykk ikkje føda som forgjengst, men føda som varer og gjev eit ævelegt liv! Den skal Menneskjesonen gjeva dykk; for honom hev Faderen, Gud, sett sitt innsigle på.» (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 Då sagde dei til honom: «Korleis skal me fara åt, so me kann gjera Guds gjerningar?»
Then the people asked him, “What things should we do [to please] God?”
29 Jesus svara: «Det er Guds gjerning, at de skal tru på den som han sende.»
Jesus replied, “What God [wants you] to do is this: He wants you to believe that [I am] the one he has sent.”
30 Då sagde dei til honom: «Kva teikn gjer då du, so me kann sjå det og tru deg? kva for verk gjer du?
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 Federne våre åt manna i øydemarki, som skrive stend: «Han gav dei brød frå himmelen å eta.»»
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 Då sagde Jesus til deim: «Det segjer eg dykk for visst og sant: Moses gav dykk ikkje brødet frå himmelen, men Far min gjev dykk det rette brødet frå himmelen;
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 for Guds-brødet er det brødet som kjem ned frå himmelen og gjev verdi liv.»
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 Då sagde dei til honom: «Herre, gjev oss alltid det brødet!»
[Not understanding what he meant], they said to him, “Sir, give us that kind of bread all the time!”
35 Jesus svara: «Eg er livsens brød; den som kjem til meg, skal ikkje hungra, og den som trur på meg, skal aldri tyrsta.
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 Men eg sagde dykk at de hev set meg og endå ikkje trur.
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 Alle som Far min gjev meg, kjem til meg, og den som kjem til meg, skal eg so visst ikkje visa burt;
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 for eg hev kome ned frå himmelen, ikkje til å gjera det eg sjølv vil, men det han vil som sende meg,
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 og det er hans vilje som sende meg, at eg ikkje skal missa nokon av deim han hev gjeve meg, men vekkja deim upp att på den siste dag.
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 For so vil Far min, at kvar den som ser Sonen og trur på honom, skal hava ævelegt liv, og at eg skal vekkja honom upp att på den siste dag.» (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 Då murra jødarne og fann åt honom, for di han sagde: «Eg er brødet som kom ned frå himmelen.»
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 «Er’kje dette Jesus Josefsson? sagde dei; «me kjenner då både far hans og mor hans; korleis hev det seg at han no segjer: «Eg hev kome ned frå himmelen?»»
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 Då tok Jesus til ords og sagde til deim: «Haldt ikkje på å murra dykk imillom!
Jesus replied to them, “Stop grumbling among yourselves [about what I just said]!
44 Ingen kann koma til meg utan Faderen, som sende meg, hev drege honom, og eg skal vekkja honom upp att på den siste dag.
[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 Det stend skrive hjå profetarne: «Og alle skal dei vera upplærde av Gud.» Kvar som hev lydt på Faderen og lært, han kjem til meg.
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 Ikkje so at nokon hev set Faderen utan han som er frå Gud, han hev set Faderen.
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 Eg er livsens brød.
[Just like] food [MET] [sustains your physical life], I am the [one who enables you to have spiritual] life.
49 Federne dykkar åt manna i øydemarki og døydde;
Even though your ancestors ate the manna [while they were traveling] in the desolate area, they died [anyway].
50 her er det brødet som kjem ned frå himmelen, so den som et av det ikkje skal døy.
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 Eg er det livande brødet som kom ned frå himmelen; dersom nokon et av det brødet, skal liva i all æva; og brødet eg vil gjeva, er kjøtet mitt, som eg gjev til liv for verdi.» (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 Då trætta jødarne med kvarandre og sagde: «Korleis kann han gjeva oss kjøtet sitt å eta?»
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 Då sagde Jesus til deim: Det segjer eg dykk for visst og sant: Et de ikkje kjøtet åt Menneskjesonen, og drikk blodet hans, so hev de ikkje liv i dykk.
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 Den som et mitt kjøt og drikk mitt blod, hev eit ævelegt liv, og eg skal vekkja honom upp att på den siste dag. (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 For kjøtet mitt er retteleg mat, og blodet mitt er retteleg drykk.
because my flesh and my blood are truly spiritual food.
56 Den som et mitt kjøt og drikk mitt blod, han vert verande i meg, og eg i honom.
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 Som den livande Faderen sende meg, og eg liver ved Faderen, so skal og den som et meg liva ved meg.
[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 Det er brødet som kom ned frå himmelen; det er’kje som det federne dykkar åt, og so døydde: den som et dette brødet, skal liva i all æva.» (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 Dette sagde han i eit synagogemøte, med han lærde i Kapernaum.
He said this while he was teaching people in (the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place) in Capernaum.
60 Mange av læresveinarne hans sagde då dei høyrde det: «Dette er stride ord, kven kann lyda på honom?»
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 Jesus visste med seg at læresveinarne hans murra um dette, og han sagde til deim: «Støyter de dykk på dette?
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 Enn um de no fær sjå Menneskjesonen fara upp dit han var fyrr!
([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 Det er åndi som gjev liv; kjøtet gjer ikkje noko gagn. Dei ordi eg hev tala til dykk, er ånd, og er liv;
[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 men det er nokre av dykk som ikkje trur.» For Jesus visste frå fyrste stund kven det var som ikkje trudde, og kven det var som skulde svika honom.
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 Og han sagde: «Difor var det eg sagde dykk at ingen kann koma til meg utan det er gjeve honom av Faderen.»
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 For dette var det mange av læresveinarne hans som drog seg undan og ikkje gjekk ikring med honom lenger.
From that [time], many of his disciples left him and no longer went with him.
67 Då sagde Jesus til dei tolv: «Vil de og ganga dykkar veg?»
So he said to [us] twelve [apostles], “You do not want to leave me also, do you?”
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 og me trur og veit at du er den Heilage frå Gud.»
We have come to believe for certain that you are the holy one [who has come] from God!”
70 «Hev eg ikkje sjølv valt dykk ut, alle tolv?» svara Jesus, «og ein av dykk er ein djevel!»
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 Han meinte Judas, son åt Simon Iskariot; for det var han som sidan skulde svika honom - han, ein av dei tolv.
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).
