Yohana 6
1 Ni kogon biyi, Yesu rugran ba-ne Galili iwa ba yo ndji mba-ne Tibaniya.
After this, Jesus crossed the Sea of Galilee — otherwise called 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 of people, however, followed him, because they saw the signs of his mission in his work among those who were afflicted.
3 Yesu lu hon hi ka son ni tu ngbulu ba-ba almajeran ma.
Jesus went up the hill, and sat down there with his disciples.
4 (Gan ri igan idin u za gran igan Yahudawa a te whir).
It was near the time of the Jewish Festival of the Passover.
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?”
Looking up, and noticing that a great crowd was coming towards him, Jesus said to Philip: “Where are we to 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 meant to do.
7 Filibu ka ha sa niwu “bredi dena rii deri hari me ana zrani ndji fie fie me na.”
“Twenty pounds’ worth of bread,” answered Philip, “would not be enough for each of them to have a little.”
8 Iri ni mi Almajere ma Andarawus, vayi siman Bitrus, hla ni Yesu,
“There is a boy here,” said Andrew, another of his disciples, Simon Peter’s brother,
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?”
“Who has five barley loaves and two fishes; but what is that for 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 people sit down,” said Jesus. It was a grassy spot; so the men, who numbered about five thousand, sat down,
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.
and then Jesus took the loaves, and, after saying the thanksgiving, distributed them to those who were sitting down; and the same with the fish, giving the people 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).”
When they were satisfied, Jesus said to his disciples: “Collect the broken pieces 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.
The disciples did so, and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves, which were left after all 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 the signs which Jesus gave, they said: “This is certainly ‘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.
But Jesus, having discovered that they were intending to come and carry him off to make him King, retired again up the hill, quite alone.
16 U yalu tie almajere ma ba lu grji hi ni teku.
When evening fell, 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.)
and, getting into a boat, began to cross to Capernaum. By this time darkness had set in, and Jesus had not yet come back to them;
18 Gyugyu ri u gbengbenle ma u njanji ni rhi, teku ni lu ni kinkir.
the Sea, too, was getting rough, for 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.
When they had rowed three or four miles, they caught sight of him walking on the water and approaching the boat, and they were frightened.
20 Iwa hla ni ba wu, ahi me, na tisisir na.”
But Jesus said to them: “It is I; do not be afraid!”
21 Niki u ba kpayenmen na kpa ni jirgi'a, hihari me jirgi ka ri ni gacci (bubu u jundi zi'a).
And after this they were glad to take him into the boat; and the boat at once arrived off the shore, for which they had been making.
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 people who remained on the further side of the Sea had seen that only one boat had been there, and that Jesus had not gone into it with his disciples, but that 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.
Some boats, however, had come from Tiberias, from near the spot where they had eaten the bread after the Master had said the thanksgiving.
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.
So, on the next day, when the people saw that Jesus was not there, or his disciples either, they themselves got into the boats, and went to Capernaum to look for him.
25 Na ka toh ni gran teku'a, na miyen “Mallam, anitan mba u ye ni wayi?”
And, when they found him on the other side of the Sea, they said: “When did you get here, Rabbi?”
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.
“In truth I tell you,” answered Jesus, “it is not on account of the signs which you saw that you are looking for me, but because you had the bread to eat and were satisfied.
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)
Work, not for the food that perishes, but for the food that lasts for Immortal Life, which the Son of Man will give you; for upon him the Father — God himself — has set the seal of his approval.” (aiōnios g166)
28 Bika miyen, “ahi geri ki tie iwa ani hu son u Rji'a?
“How,” they asked, “are we to do the work that God would have us do?”
29 Yesu sa ni bawu, “iwa yi a hi ndu Rji, ni ndu yi kpayenmen ni indi iwa a ton'a.
“The work that God would have you do,” answered Jesus, “is to believe in him whom God sent as his Messenger.”
30 U ba miyen, “ahi nkpan geri u tie, ni ndu ta toh, u ni kpayenmen ni wu'a?
“What sign, then,” they asked, “are you giving, which we may see, and so believe you? What is the work that you are 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 ancestors had the manna to eat in the desert; as Scripture 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.
“In truth I tell you,” replied Jesus, “Moses did not give you the Bread from Heaven, but my Father does give you the true Bread from Heaven;
33 Gurasar u Rji ani krji rji ni shu na no iviri ni gbungbulu'a.”
for the Bread that God gives is that which comes down from Heaven, and gives Life to the world.”
34 U ba hla niwu, “mallam, ta nota gurasar bi kima ko ni ton rime.”
“Master,” they exclaimed, “give us that Bread always!”
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 Life-giving Bread,” Jesus said to them; “he that comes to me shall never be hungry, and he that believes in me shall never thirst again.
36 Ndi mi hla ni yiwu, njanji bi toh me, naki me bina kpayenmen na.
But, as I have said already, you have seen me, and yet you do not believe in me.
37 Indji wa Itie a ne niwu'a ani ye nime, iwa a ye nimea mina zu menmelen mu na.
All those whom the Father gives me will come to me; and no one who comes to me will I ever turn away.
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 have come down from Heaven, to do, not 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 his will is this — 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 it is the will of my Father that every one who sees the Son, and believes in him, should have Immortal Life; and I myself 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.
Upon this the Jews began murmuring against Jesus for saying — ‘I am the Bread which 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?
“Is not this Jesus, Joseph’s son,” they asked, “whose father and mother we know? How is it that he now says that he has come down from Heaven?”
43 Yesu hla ni bawu, “Ba chuwo ni chaba mlama ni kpabi.
“Do not murmur among yourselves,” said Jesus in reply.
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 draws him to me; and I will raise him 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.
It is said in the Prophets — ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Every one who is taught by 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 him who is from God — he has seen the Father.
In truth I tell you, he who believes in me has Immortal Life. (aiōnios g166)
48 Ihe me nyi mi bredi u viri.
I am the Life-giving Bread.
49 Ba ti bi ba ri mana ni miji, na kwu.
Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, and yet 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.
The Bread that comes down from Heaven is such that whoever eats of it will 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 am the Living Bread that has come down from Heaven. If any one eats of this Bread, he will live for ever; and the Bread that I shall give is my flesh, which I will give 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?
Upon this the Jews began disputing with one another: “How is it possible for this man to 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.
“In truth I tell you,” answered Jesus, “unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink his blood, you have not Life within 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 takes my flesh for his food, and drinks my blood, has Immortal Life; and I will raise him 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 true drink.
56 Indji iwa a tan nanma mu, na so iyi mu a son ni mi mu, imeme mi son niwu.
He who takes my flesh for his food, and drinks my blood, remains united to me, and I to 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.
As the Living Father sent me as his Messenger, and as I live because the Father lives, so he who takes me for his food shall live because I live.
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)
That is the Bread which has come down from Heaven — not such as your ancestors ate, and yet died; he who takes this Bread for his food shall live for ever.” (aiōn g165)
59 Yesu hla kpi biyi ni mi ma, njamiya niwa a si tsoro ba ni Kafarnahum.
All this Jesus said in a Synagogue, when 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?”
On hearing it, many of his disciples said: “This is harsh doctrine! Who can bear to listen to it?”
61 Yesu ato ni mi soron ma andi almajereanma, basi chabangbu ru ngbu kima, na miyen ba, “Iwa yi kati lahtre?
But Jesus, aware that his disciples were murmuring about it, said to them:
62 Ani he nihe bi ti to ivren indji ni hon ni hi ni bubuma u sen na?
“Is this a hindrance to you? What, then, if you should see the Son of Man ascending 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.
It is the Spirit that gives Life; mere flesh is of no avail. In the teaching that I have been giving you there is Spirit and there is 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 in me.” For Jesus knew from the first who they were that did not believe in him, and who it was that 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.”
and he added: “This is why I told you that no one can come to me, unless enabled by the Father.”
66 Ni kogon kima, gbugbuu ba k'ban hi ni kogon nimi almajanre ma, bati bre hla zren ni wu ngana.
After this many of his disciples drew back, and did not go about with him any longer.
67 Yesu minye wulon don hari ba, biyi bi na son hi na, ka nan nakina?
So Jesus said to the Twelve: “Do you also wish to leave me?”
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)
But Simon Peter answered: “Master, to whom shall we go? Immortal Life is in your teaching; (aiōnios g166)
69 Kita ki to ni kpanyeme iwu yi u tsatsra ichu u Rji.”
and we have learned to believe and to 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?”
“Did not I myself choose you to be the Twelve?” replied Jesus; “and yet, even of you, one is playing the ‘Devil’s’ part.”
71 Asi tre ni Yahuda vivren Siman Iskariyoti, a hi ri ni mi wulon don hari ba, iwa ani ka yesu noba'a.
He meant Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, who was about to betray him, though he was one of the Twelve.
