Yohana 6
1 Ni kogon biyi, Yesu rugran ba-ne Galili iwa ba yo ndji mba-ne Tibaniya.
Some time later Jesus left to go to the other side of the Sea of Galilee (also known as the Sea of Tiberias).
2 Gbirjubu ndji gbugbuu ba lu ni hu ni kpe wa asi tie'a ni bi lilo ba.
A large crowd was following him, for they'd seen his miracles of healing.
3 Yesu lu hon hi ka son ni tu ngbulu ba-ba almajeran ma.
Jesus went up a hill and sat down there with his disciples.
4 (Gan ri igan idin u za gran igan Yahudawa a te whir).
The time for the Jewish festival of the Passover was approaching.
5 Yesu zun tu hon na toh gbugbu ndji ba gyen klan si ye niwu na hla ni filibu, “ni tsen ki fe bredi, wa ki no indji biyi?”
When Jesus looked up, and saw a large crowd coming towards him, he asked Philip, “Where can we buy bread to feed these people?”
6 (A tre naki na tsar to ni tu iwa wawu me a toh ikpe iwa ani tie.)
He only asked this to see how Philip would respond, because Jesus already knew what he was going to do.
7 Filibu ka ha sa niwu “bredi dena rii deri hari me ana zrani ndji fie fie me na.”
“Two hundred silver coins wouldn't buy enough bread to give everyone only a little,” Philip replied.
8 Iri ni mi Almajere ma Andarawus, vayi siman Bitrus, hla ni Yesu,
One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, spoke up.
9 Ige Ivren ri a nji igbele ton u shai'ir ni lambe hari. a geri iwa yi ni tie ni gbugbu indji bi yi?”
“There's a boy here who has five barley loaves and a couple of fish, but what good is that when there are so many people?”
10 Yesu tre ndu indji kuson.” (Bubu'a me a tie gega.) U lilon ba ba kusun, tsra indji dubu ton.
“Have everybody sit down,” Jesus said. There was plenty of grass there, so they all sat down, the men numbering around five thousand.
11 U Yesu a ban bredi ni kogon wa, a gira na ga bi wa ba kusun meme na la ga lambe naki, na wa ba ba son.
Jesus took the bread, gave thanks, and had it handed out to the people as they sat there. Then he did the same with the fishes, making sure the people had as much as they wanted.
12 Niwa indji ba-ba whurji wa hla ni almajere ma, “ni ndu ba vu gburugbuma iwa a don ba shutie, ni ndu na tie meme na (asara na).”
Once they were all full, he said to his disciples, “Collect what's left over so nothing is wasted.”
13 U ba vu shu ni sisen wulon don hari gburugbu bredi u sisen iton wa ba don mbru ma, ni kogon wa bari whrji.
So they collected and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves the people had eaten.
14 U indji ba toh gban iwa a tie, u ba tre, “A njanji iwa yi ahi anabin iwa ani ye ni gbungbunluyi.”
When the people saw this miracle, they said, “Surely this is the Prophet who was to come into the world.”
15 U Yesu toh ndi ba lu ni ye ban wuni gbengbenle na nye-wu tie Ichu, na lu k'ban hi ni tu gbulu kima.
Jesus realized that they were about to force him to become their king, so he left them and went up into the hills to be by himself.
16 U yalu tie almajere ma ba lu grji hi ni teku.
When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea,
17 Na ri ni mi ghu, na rugran hi ni Kafarnahum, (ni ton wa ibwu tie ye, Yesu na ye ni ba rina.)
climbed into a boat, and headed across the water towards Capernaum. By now it was night and Jesus had not joined them yet.
18 Gyugyu ri u gbengbenle ma u njanji ni rhi, teku ni lu ni kinkir.
A strong wind began blowing and the sea grew rough.
19 Nikogon wa ba dran ghu hi na mil ashiri don ton ko talatin, u ba kushi ni Yesu a zren nitu teku siye na te whiwhir ni jirgi'a, u ba ti sisir.
When they had rowed three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea, coming towards the boat. They were very frightened.
20 Iwa hla ni ba wu, ahi me, na tisisir na.”
“Don't be afraid!” he told them. “It's me.”
21 Niki u ba kpayenmen na kpa ni jirgi'a, hihari me jirgi ka ri ni gacci (bubu u jundi zi'a).
Then they gladly took him into the boat, and immediately they reached the shore where they were going.
22 Ni ivi u ha ibrun klan ndi wa ba krhi ni gran teku ni korima ba tra andi jirgi ri na la don gan na niki se iri, iwa ndi Yesu na ri hu almajeran ma na u ba luhi ni grji ba.
The next day the crowd that had stayed on the other side of the sea noticed that there had been only one boat there, and that Jesus had not got into the boat with his disciples, but they had left without him.
23 Se jirgi bari wa ba rji ni Tibariya whiewhir ni bubu wa indi ba son na tan gurasa ni kogon wa Yesu a ngiri'a.
Then other boats arrived from Tiberias, landing near to the place where they'd eaten the bread after the Lord had blessed it.
24 Niwa indji ba ye toh andi Yesu ni almajaren ma ba he ni ba niki na, ni tie tu mba ba lu ri ni mi jirgi ba na hi ni Kafarnahum ni wa Yesu.
Once the crowd realized that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into the boats and went over to Capernaum, looking for Jesus.
25 Na ka toh ni gran teku'a, na miyen “Mallam, anitan mba u ye ni wayi?”
When they found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him, “Rabbi, when did you get here?”
26 Yesu a sa ni bawu andi, “Njanji, bi si wame yi, ana ni tu wa bi toh igban ikpe wa mi tie'a ni ye na, a nitu wa bi tan gurasar ni wherji.
“I tell you the truth,” Jesus replied, “you're looking for me because you ate as much bread as you wanted, not because you understood the miracles.
27 Ban chuwo ni tie kpabi ya ni bubu wa biri wa ani tie meme na, se bi ka wa biri iwa ani son kubon na nji yi hi ni viri (re) u tunturu iwa vren ndi ni no yin'a. (aiōnios g166)
Don't be preoccupied about food that doesn't last, but concentrate on the lasting food of eternal life which the Son of man will give you, for God the Father has placed his seal of approval on him.” (aiōnios g166)
28 Bika miyen, “ahi geri ki tie iwa ani hu son u Rji'a?
So they asked him, “What should we be doing in order to do what God wants?”
29 Yesu sa ni bawu, “iwa yi a hi ndu Rji, ni ndu yi kpayenmen ni indi iwa a ton'a.
Jesus replied, “What God wants you to do is to trust in the one he sent.”
30 U ba miyen, “ahi nkpan geri u tie, ni ndu ta toh, u ni kpayenmen ni wu'a?
“What miracle are you going to perform for us to see so we can trust you? What are you able to do?” they asked.
31 Ahi geri u tie? Ba tietie-mbu ba tan manna ni miji nawa ba nhan, “Iwa no ba gurasar rji ni shu ni ndu ba tan.'”
“Our forefathers ate manna in the desert in fulfillment of the Scripture that says, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’”
32 Yesu hla ni bawu, “Njanji, mi si hla ni yiwu, ana Musa yi noyi gurasar rji ni shuna ahi Itie mu mba a no yi gurasar u njanji rji ni shulu.
“I tell you the truth, it wasn't Moses who gave you bread from heaven,” Jesus replied. “It's my Father who gives you the true bread of heaven.
33 Gurasar u Rji ani krji rji ni shu na no iviri ni gbungbulu'a.”
For the bread of God is the one who comes from heaven and gives life to the world.”
34 U ba hla niwu, “mallam, ta nota gurasar bi kima ko ni ton rime.”
“Lord, please give us this kind of bread all the time!” they said.
35 Yesu hla ni bawu, ahi meyi mi gurasar iwa ani ano iviri (re) indji wa a ye ni me iyon na tiwu na, indji wa a kpa yenmen ni me hlan ma nala tie wu gana.
“I am the bread of life,” Jesus replied. “Anyone who comes to me will never be hungry again, and anyone who trusts in me will never be thirsty again.
36 Ndi mi hla ni yiwu, njanji bi toh me, naki me bina kpayenmen na.
But as I explained to you before, you have seen me, but you still don't trust me.
37 Indji wa Itie a ne niwu'a ani ye nime, iwa a ye nimea mina zu menmelen mu na.
All those the Father gives me will come to me, and I won't reject any of them.
38 Mina grji rji ni shu ye, nitu mi tie ikpe iwa me son ki mu na, se de ikpe u son Indji iwa a ton Me.
For I came down from heaven not to do what I want, but to do what the one who sent me wants.
39 A hi wa yiyi ikpe u son indji wa a ton me, ni ndu mina wa kperi hanma ni mi biyina niwa ani se mika taba shimen ni vi u klakla'a.
What he wants is for me not to lose anyone he has given to me, but for me to raise them up at the last day.
40 Ahi wayi, i ahi son Itiemu, ndi indji iwa a toh vren na kpayenmen wu ani fe viri u son kuk'bon. Ime ni tashimen ni vi u klakla'a. (aiōnios g166)
What my Father wants is for everyone who sees the Son and trusts in him to have eternal life, and for me to raise them up at the last day.” (aiōnios g166)
41 Yahudawa balu ni chaba gburgbu ni tuma, nitu iwa atra, “Ahi meyi mi Gurasar iwa grji ni shu'a.
Then the Jews began to grumble about him because he had said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.”
42 Ba tre ana wayi, i ahi Yesu Ivren Yusufu, iwa Itima ni Iyima wa ki toh ba na? A ni he ri zizan ani tre andi mi grji rji ni shu?
They said, “Isn't this Jesus, the son of Joseph? We know his father and his mother. So how can he now tell us, ‘I came down from heaven’?”
43 Yesu hla ni bawu, “Ba chuwo ni chaba mlama ni kpabi.
“Stop grumbling to each other,” Jesus said.
44 Ba iri iwa ani ya ye ni me, se Iti mu wa a ton me ye a njiwu ye, mit tawu shimechachu u kekle.
“No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me attracts them, and I will raise them up at the last day.
45 Ba nha nyi nha zi ni mi littatafe ana bawa andi, wawu mbawu Irji Bachi ni tsoro ba, u indji wa a wo ni tie, ani ye ni me.
As is written in Scripture by the prophets, ‘Everyone will be taught by God.’ Everyone who listens to and learns from the Father comes to me.
46 Niwa idiori ti bre to ni tie'ana, se wawu iwa a rji ni Bachi - a to Bachi.
Not that anyone has seen God, except he who is from God; he has seen the Father.
I tell you the truth: anyone who trusts in him has eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
48 Ihe me nyi mi bredi u viri.
I am the bread of life.
49 Ba ti bi ba ri mana ni miji, na kwu.
Your forefathers ate manna in the desert but they still died.
50 I wa nyi ahi bredi u wa a grji rji ni shu ndi indji wa a ri ngbala ma wa ka na kwu na.
But this is the bread that comes down from heaven, and anyone who eats it won't ever die.
51 Ime nyi mi gurasa u re (iviri) wa a grji rji ni shu. Indji iwa a ri ni mi gurasa, ani son hi tuntru gurasa yi wa mi no ahi kpamu nitu kpa gbungbulu chu wo.” (aiōn g165)
I am the life-giving bread from heaven, and anyone who eats this bread will live forever. The bread is my flesh that I give so that the world may live.” (aiōn g165)
52 Yahudawa ba tifu nimi mba na ni sen nyu ni kpamba'a andi ani he iguyi ani ya nota inan ma kpama ki tan?
Then the Jews argued heatedly among themselves. “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” they asked.
53 U Yesu hla bawu, “Njanji, njanji, bita na tan inanma kpa ivren indji na ni nan so iyin mana, bi na fe iviri ni mi bina.
Jesus told them, “I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you cannot truly live.
54 Indji iwa a tan nanma mu na so inyi mu ani Iviri tuntru, mila zun lude ni ivi u kekle. (aiōnios g166)
Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. (aiōnios g166)
55 A hla bawu, “Ikisa mi nhla ni yiwu. Nitu inanma mu ahi biri u njanji, iyi mu me ahi ikpe u so u njanji.
For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
56 Indji iwa a tan nanma mu, na so iyi mu a son ni mi mu, imeme mi son niwu.
Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood remain in me, and I remain in them.
57 Na wa itimbu u iviri a ton me, naki mi zren na ti'a, ana ki indji iwa a tan nmma mu, ani son nitu mu.
Just as the life-giving Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so anyone who feeds on me will live because of me.
58 Iwa yi ahi gurasa iwa a grji rji ni shulu, ana iri u ba tibi wa ba tan na kwu na, indji iwa a tan gurasa ani son tuntru.” (aiōn g165)
Now this is the bread that came down from heaven, not the kind your forefathers ate and still died. Anyone who eats this bread will live forever.” (aiōn g165)
59 Yesu hla kpi biyi ni mi ma, njamiya niwa a si tsoro ba ni Kafarnahum.
Jesus explained this while he was teaching in a synagogue at Capernaum.
60 Ni wo naki, gbugbuwu ni mi almajaranma ba tre, itre yi a hi ni krifi, i he nha ani ya wo wu?”
Many of his disciples when they heard it said, “This is hard to accept! Who can follow it?”
61 Yesu ato ni mi soron ma andi almajereanma, basi chabangbu ru ngbu kima, na miyen ba, “Iwa yi kati lahtre?
Jesus saw that his disciples were complaining about this, so he asked them, “Are you offended by this?
62 Ani he nihe bi ti to ivren indji ni hon ni hi ni bubuma u sen na?
Then what if you were to see the Son ascend to where he was before?
63 Ruhu ni iviri, ikpa na ti kperi na. Ahi tre wa mi tre ni yiwu hi Ruhu, u ba ivri.
The Spirit gives life; the physical body doesn't do anything. The words I've told you are spirit and life!
64 Ni naki bari mbi ni wayi bana kpa nyime na.” U Yesu toh rji ni mumla'a wawu biwa bana kpa nyime na nda toh ndji wa ani ka'u no dun ba wu'u.
Yet there are some of you who don't trust me.” (Jesus had known from the very beginning who didn't trust him, and who would betray him.)
65 A hla ndi, “A nitu kii mba mi hla ni yiwu ndi ndrjo ri na ye nime na se to Bachi mu no'u nkon dun ye nime.”
Jesus added, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is made possible by the Father.”
66 Ni kogon kima, gbugbuu ba k'ban hi ni kogon nimi almajanre ma, bati bre hla zren ni wu ngana.
From this time on many of Jesus' disciples gave up and no longer followed him.
67 Yesu minye wulon don hari ba, biyi bi na son hi na, ka nan nakina?
Then Jesus asked the twelve disciples, “What about you? You don't want to leave as well, do you?”
68 Bitrus a sa niwu, iwu timbu, ni nha ki hi niwu? Iwu nyi u he ni itre re (ivir) son hi tuntru. (aiōnios g166)
Simon Peter answered, “Lord, who would we follow? You're the one who has the words of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
69 Kita ki to ni kpanyeme iwu yi u tsatsra ichu u Rji.”
We trust in you, and we're convinced that you are God's Holy One.”
70 Yesu hla bawu, “Ana me mi chu yi na, biyi wulon don hari na, iri ni mi bi ani ahi ibirji?”
Jesus replied, “Didn't I choose you, the twelve disciples? Yet one of you is a devil.”
71 Asi tre ni Yahuda vivren Siman Iskariyoti, a hi ri ni mi wulon don hari ba, iwa ani ka yesu noba'a.
(Jesus was referring to Judas, son of Simon Iscariot. He was the one of the twelve disciples who would betray Jesus.)
