< Yohana 6 >

1 Ni kogon biyi, Yesu rugran ba-ne Galili iwa ba yo ndji mba-ne Tibaniya.
After this Jesus went away across the Sea of Galilee (that is the lake of Tiberias).
2 Gbirjubu ndji gbugbuu ba lu ni hu ni kpe wa asi tie'a ni bi lilo ba.
A great crowd were following him, because they witnessed the signs which he was continually performing among those who were ill.
3 Yesu lu hon hi ka son ni tu ngbulu ba-ba almajeran ma.
Then Jesus walked up the hills and sat down there with his disciples. Now the Jewish feast, the Passover, was at hand.
4 (Gan ri igan idin u za gran igan Yahudawa a te whir).
Accordingly when he looked up, and perceived a great crowd was coming unto him,
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?”
he said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?"
6 (A tre naki na tsar to ni tu iwa wawu me a toh ikpe iwa ani tie.)
He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he intended to do.
7 Filibu ka ha sa niwu “bredi dena rii deri hari me ana zrani ndji fie fie me na.”
"Thirty-five dollars worth of bread," answered Philip, "is not enough for them, so that each can take a morsel."
8 Iri ni mi Almajere ma Andarawus, vayi siman Bitrus, hla ni Yesu,
One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon, said to him.
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 is a lad who has five barley loaves and a couple of fish; but what is that among so many?"
10 Yesu tre ndu indji kuson.” (Bubu'a me a tie gega.) U lilon ba ba kusun, tsra indji dubu ton.
"Make the men sit down," said Jesus. The ground was covered with thick grass; so the men sat down, in numbers about five thousand. "of righteousness, because I am going to my Father, and you will no longer see me;
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.
Then Jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks he distributed them among those who were seated; in like manner also of the fish, as much as they wished,
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).”
and when they were satisfied, he said to his disciples, "Gather up the fragments that are left, so that nothing may be 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 gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves - the broken pieces that were left after they 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.”
So when the people saw the sign which he had performed, they said, "This is in the truth the Prophet who is 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.
When Jesus perceived that they intended to seize him in order to make him a king, he retired again to the hill all by himself.
16 U yalu tie almajere ma ba lu grji hi ni teku.
When evening came on, 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.)
There they got in a boat, and started across the sea for Capernaum. The darkness had already fallen,
18 Gyugyu ri u gbengbenle ma u njanji ni rhi, teku ni lu ni kinkir.
Jesus had not yet come to them, and the sea began to rise, because a strong wind was blowing.
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.
After they had rowed three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking upon the sea, and drawing near to the boat, and they were terrified;
20 Iwa hla ni ba wu, ahi me, na tisisir na.”
but he said to them, "It is I, be not afraid."
21 Niki u ba kpayenmen na kpa ni jirgi'a, hihari me jirgi ka ri ni gacci (bubu u jundi zi'a).
Then they were willing to take him on board, and immediately the boat reached the shore they were making for.
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 crowd that remained on the other side of the sea had seen that there was only one small boat there, and that Jesus had not gone aboard with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away by themselves.
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.
So, on the following day, when boats came from Tiberias near the place were they had eaten bread, after the Lord had given thanks, they got into the boats themselves,
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.
when they saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, and went to Capernaum to look 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 said to 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.
Jesus answered. "In solemn truth I tell you that you are looking for me, not because you saw miracles signs, but because you ate of the bread and were filled.
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)
"Labor not for food which perishes, but for the food that endures eternal life - that which the Son of man will give you; for on the Father - God - has set his seal." (aiōnios g166)
28 Bika miyen, “ahi geri ki tie iwa ani hu son u Rji'a?
"What are we to do habitually," they asked him, "that we may keep working the words of God?"
29 Yesu sa ni bawu, “iwa yi a hi ndu Rji, ni ndu yi kpayenmen ni indi iwa a ton'a.
"This is the work of God," answered Jesus, "that you believe on him whom He has sent you."
30 U ba miyen, “ahi nkpan geri u tie, ni ndu ta toh, u ni kpayenmen ni wu'a?
The they said to him. "What sign, then, are you performing, so that we may see it and believe in you? What work are you doing?
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 fathers ate manna in the wilderness, as it is written, ‘He gave them bread out of 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.
"In solemn truth I tell you," said Jesus in reply, "Moses did not give you the bread out of heaven, but my Father does give you the true bread out of heaven;
33 Gurasar u Rji ani krji rji ni shu na no iviri ni gbungbulu'a.”
"for the bread of God is what come down from heaven, and gives life to the world."
34 U ba hla niwu, “mallam, ta nota gurasar bi kima ko ni ton rime.”
"Ah, Sir," said they, "evermore give us this bread."
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 myself am the bread of life," answered Jesus; "he who comes to me shall never hunger, and he that believes on me shall never thirst again.
36 Ndi mi hla ni yiwu, njanji bi toh me, naki me bina kpayenmen na.
"But as I told you, you have seen me, and yet you do not believe.
37 Indji wa Itie a ne niwu'a ani ye nime, iwa a ye nimea mina zu menmelen mu na.
"Everyone whom the Father gives me will come to me; and him who comes to me I will never reject.
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 am come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
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.
"And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should not lose one of all those whom he has given me, but should 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)
"For this is my Fathers will, that every one who beholds the Son and believes on him, shall have eternal life. and I will raise him 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 find fault with Jesus, because he said, "I am the bread which comes down out of heaven," and they kept asking.
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?
"Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph? Do we not know his father and mother? How is it that he now says, ‘I have come down from heaven’?"
43 Yesu hla ni bawu, “Ba chuwo ni chaba mlama ni kpabi.
"Do not find fault with me among yourselves,"
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.
answered Jesus; "no one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draw him; then I will raise him up on 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.
"It is written in the Prophets, "And they shall all of them be taught of God. Every one who has listened to the father and learns from him, comes to me.
46 Niwa idiori ti bre to ni tie'ana, se wawu iwa a rji ni Bachi - a to Bachi.
"Not that any one has seen the Father, except the one who is from God; he has seen the Father.
47 Njanji, njanji, indji wa a kpawu nyeme ahe ni iviri u tuntru. (aiōnios g166)
"I tell you solemnly that he who believes 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 fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; yet they 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.
"This is the bread that comes down from heaven, that one may eat thereof and never 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 myself am the living bread that has come down from heaven. Any one who eats this bread will live forever; and moreover, the bread which I will give is my flesh, given for the life of the world." (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 began to dispute among themselves, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"
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.
"I tell you solemnly," said Jesus, "that unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you have no life in you.
54 Indji iwa a tan nanma mu na so inyi mu ani Iviri tuntru, mila zun lude ni ivi u kekle. (aiōnios g166)
"He who feeds upon my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on 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.
"He who feeds upon my flesh abides in me and I in him.
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 living Father has sent me, and I live by the Father, so also that man who feeds on me shall live by 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)
"This is the bread which came down from heaven; not such as your fathers ate and died, for he who feeds upon this bread shall live forever." (aiōn g165)
59 Yesu hla kpi biyi ni mi ma, njamiya niwa a si tsoro ba ni Kafarnahum.
He spoke these words while in the synagogue, while he was teaching in Capernaum.
60 Ni wo naki, gbugbuwu ni mi almajaranma ba tre, itre yi a hi ni krifi, i he nha ani ya wo wu?”
So many of his disciples, when they heard it, said. "This teaching is unbelievable! Who can listen to him?"
61 Yesu ato ni mi soron ma andi almajereanma, basi chabangbu ru ngbu kima, na miyen ba, “Iwa yi kati lahtre?
Jesus, conscious within himself that his disciples were finding fault with him about his teaching, said to them.
62 Ani he nihe bi ti to ivren indji ni hon ni hi ni bubuma u sen na?
"Does this displease you? What then if you were to behold the Son of man ascending 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 is what gives life; the flesh is of no avail. The words which I have been speaking to you, are spirit and are 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 do not believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who it was who should 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.”
So he added, "This is why I told you that no on can come to me unless it be given from the Father."
66 Ni kogon kima, gbugbuu ba k'ban hi ni kogon nimi almajanre ma, bati bre hla zren ni wu ngana.
Therefore many of his disciples drew back and no longer companied with him.
67 Yesu minye wulon don hari ba, biyi bi na son hi na, ka nan nakina?
So Jesus appealed to the Twelve. "You also do not wish to leave me, 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. "To whom shall we go Master? You have words of eternal life; (aiōnios g166)
69 Kita ki to ni kpanyeme iwu yi u tsatsra ichu u Rji.”
"and we have learned to believe and we know that you are the holy one of God."
70 Yesu hla bawu, “Ana me mi chu yi na, biyi wulon don hari na, iri ni mi bi ani ahi ibirji?”
In reply Jesus said to them. "Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? And yet even of you one is an enemy."
71 Asi tre ni Yahuda vivren Siman Iskariyoti, a hi ri ni mi wulon don hari ba, iwa ani ka yesu noba'a.
Now Jesus was speaking of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot; for Judas was to betray him, although he was one of the Twelve.
