Johan 6
1 Te phoeiah Jesuh tah Galilee Tiberias tuili rhalvangan la cet.
After this, Jesus crossed the Sea of Galilee – otherwise called the Lake of Tiberias.
2 Aka tlo rhoek soah a saii miknoek te a hmuh uh dongah amah te hlangping loh muep a vai.
A great crowd of people, however, followed him, because they saw the signs of his mission in his work among those who were sick.
3 Te dongah Jesuh te tlang la luei tih a hnukbang rhoek taengah pahoi ngol.
Jesus went up the hill, and sat down there with his disciples.
4 Te vaengah Judah rhoek kah yoom khotue te om tom coeng.
It was near the time of the Jewish Festival of the Passover.
5 Jesuh loh a mik te a dai hatah a taengla hlangping muep ha lo te a hmuh. Te dongah Philip la, “He rhoek loh a caak uh ham buh te melam n'lai uh eh?” a ti nah.
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 Amah loh saii ham a cai te a ming dongah anih te noemcai ham ni a ti nah.
He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he meant to do.
7 Philip loh Jesuh te, “Denarii yahnih neh vaidam te a yool he poel boeih a doe uh amah amih ham rhoeh mahpawh,” a ti nah.
“Even if we spent a years’ wages on bread,” answered Philip, “it would not be enough for each of them to have a little.”
8 A hnukbang rhoek khuikah pakhat Simon Peter kah a mana Andrew loh a taengah,
“There is a boy here,” said Andrew, another of his disciples, Simon Peter’s brother,
9 “Nga lungnit neh cangtun vaidam hluem nga aka khueh tongpa ca tah om ta he, tedae he rhoek he heyet hamla balam lae a om?” a ti nah.
“Who has five barley loaves and two fish; but what is that for so many?”
10 Jesuh loh, “Hlang rhoek te ngol sak uh,” a ti nah. Tekah hmuen ah khopol muep a om dongah hlang hlangmi te thawngnga tluk ngol uh.
“Make the people sit down,” said Jesus. It was a grassy spot; so the people, who numbered about five thousand, sat down,
11 Te dongah Jesuh loh vaidam te a loh tih a uem phoeiah aka vael rhoek taengah a tael. Te vanbangla nga te khaw a ngaih yet te a paek.
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 A hah uh phoeiah a hnukbang rhoek te, “Aka coih a nueipil rhoek te coi uh, te daengah ni pakhat khaw a poci pawt eh?,” a ti nah.
When they were satisfied, Jesus said to his disciples, “Collect the broken pieces that are left, so that nothing may be wasted.”
13 Te dongah a caak uh phoeikah cangtun vaidam panga kah a coih a nueipil te a coi uh vaengah voh hlainit dongah a sang uh.
The disciples did so, and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves, which were left after all had eaten.
14 Miknoek a saii te hlang rhoek loh a hmuh tih, “Anih tah Diklai dongla aka pawk tonghma rhep ni,” a ti uh.
When the people saw the signs which Jesus gave, they said, “This is certainly the prophet who was to come into the world.”
15 Amah te tuuk tih manghai la khueh ham paan la a cai uh te Jesuh loh a ming. Te dongah amah bueng tlang la koep khoe uh.
But Jesus, having discovered that they were intending to come and carry him off to make him king, went again up the hill, quite alone.
16 Hlaem a pha vaengah tah a hnukbang rhoek te tuili la suntla uh.
When evening fell, his disciples went down to the sea,
17 Lawng khuila kun uh tih tuili rhalvangan kah Kapernaum la cet uh. Te phoeiah a hmuep loh a kae coeng dae Jesuh tah amih taengah pawk hlan.
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 Te vaengah khohli puei hli tih tuili te a haeng.
the sea, too, was getting rough, for a strong wind was blowing.
19 Phalong pakul panga neh sawmthum tluk a kaih uh vaengah Jesuh te tuili soah cet tih lawng taengla halo te a hmuh uh tih a rhih uh.
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 Tedae amih te, “Kai ni rhih uh boeh,” a ti nah.
But Jesus said to them, “It is I; do not be afraid!”
21 Te vaengah ngaingaih uh tih amah te lawng khuila a doe uh. Te daengah a caeh thil uh kho te lawng loh tlek a pha.
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 Tekah a vuen ah tuili rhalvangan kah hlangping aka pai loh lawng pakhat bueng pawt atah teah a tloe a om pawt khaw, lawng khuiah Jesuh loh a hnukbang rhoek a caeh puei kolla a hnukbang rhoek bueng a caeh uh te khaw a hmuh uh.
The people who remained on the other 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 Tiberias lamkah lawng a tloe rhoek tah Boeipa loh vaidam te a uem tih a caak nah uh hmuen te vat a pha uh.
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 Jesuh neh a hnukbang rhoek a om pawt te hlangping loh a hmuh. Te dongah amih tah lawng khuila kun uh tih Jesuh toem ham Kapernaum la pawk uh.
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 Amah tuili ah val a hmuh uh vaengah, “Rhabbi, me vaengah lae hela na om,” a ti nauh.
And, when they found him on the other side of the sea, they said, “When did you get here, Rabbi?”
26 Jesuh loh amih te a doo tih, “Nangmih te rhep rhep kan thui, miknoek na hmuh uh dongah pawt tih, vaidam te na caak uh tih na hah uh dongah ni kai nan toem uh.
“In truth I tell you,” answered Jesus, “it is not because of the signs which you saw that you are looking for me, but because you had the bread to eat and were satisfied.
27 Aka poci thai caak ham pawt tih dungyan hingnah la aka naeh caak ham mah saiiuh. Te tah Pa Pathen kah kutnoek a daeng tangtae hlang capa loh nangmih m'paek ni,” a ti nah. (aiōnios g166)
Work, not for the food that perishes, but for the food that lasts for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you; for on him the Father – God himself – has set the seal of his approval.” (aiōnios g166)
28 Te dongah amah te, “Pathen kah khoboe te n'saii ham atah balae ka saii eh?,” a ti nauh.
“How,” they asked, “are we to do the work that God wants us to do?”
29 Jesuh loh amih te a doo tih, “A tueih hlang na tangnah uh te Pathen kah khoboe ni he,” a ti nah.
“The work that God wants you to do,” answered Jesus, “is to believe in him whom God sent as his messenger.”
30 Te dongah amah te, “Te koinih miknoek balae na saii? Ka hmuh uh daengah ni nang kan tangnah uh van eh. Balae na saii eh?
“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 A pa rhoek loh khosoek ah manna te a caak uh. Amih kah caak ham te vaan lamkah vaidam a paek te a daek tangtae om van,” a ti nauh.
Our ancestors had the manna to eat in the desert; as scripture says – ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’”
32 Te dongah Jesuh loh amih te, “Nangmih te rhep, rhep kan thui, Moses loh vaan lamkah vaidam te nangmih m'paek moenih, tedae a Pa loh vaan lamkah oltak vaidam te nangmih m'paek.
“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 Pathen kah vaidam tah vaan lamkah aka rhum la om tih Diklai ah hingnah a paek,” a ti nah.
for the bread that God gives is that which comes down from heaven, and gives life to the world.”
34 Te dongah amah te, “Boeipa, tekah vaidam te kaimih vawp vawp m'pae,” a ti nauh.
“Master,” they exclaimed, “give us that bread always!”
35 Jesuh loh amih te, “Kai tah hingnah vaidam ni, kai taengah aka pawk tah a bungpong tlaih pawt vetih kai aka tangnah tah tui koep hal tlaih mahpawh.
“I am the life-giving bread,” Jesus said to them, “whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never thirst again.
36 Tedae nangmih loh kai nan hmuh uh lalah nan tangnah uh moenih ka ti.
But, as I have said already, you have seen me, and yet you do not believe in me.
37 Pa loh kai m'paek boeih te tah kamah taengla ha pawk vetih, kai taengah aka pawk te tah phawn ka haek tlaih mahpawh.
All those whom the Father gives me will come to me; and no one who comes to me will I ever turn away.
38 Vaan lamkah ka suntlak he kamah kongaih saii ham pawt tih kai aka tueih kah kongaih te saii ham ni.
For I have come down from heaven, to do, not my own will, but the will of him who sent me;
39 He tah kai aka tueih kah kongaih ni. Te daengah ni kamah m'paek boeih te ka hlong pawt eh. Tedae a hnukkhueng khohnin ah te te ka thoh ni.
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 He tah a pa kah kongaih ni. Te daengah ni capa aka hmu tih amah te aka tangnah boeih loh dungyan hingnah a dang eh. (aiōnios g166)
For it is the will of my Father that everyone 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 Kai tah vaan lamkah aka suntla vaidam ni,” a ti dongah amah taengah Judah rhoek loh a kohuet pauh.
The people began murmuring against Jesus for saying – ‘I am the bread which came down from heaven.’
42 Te dongah, “Anih he Joseph capa Jesuh moenih a? “A manu neh a napa te khaw mamih loh m'ming uh. Metlam lae, 'Vaan lamkah ka rhum, ' a ti he?” a ti uh.
“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 Jesuh loh amih te a doo tih, “Khat neh khat kohuet uh boeh.
“Do not murmur among yourselves,” said Jesus in reply.
44 Kai aka tueih pa loh anih te a doek pawt atah kai taengah ha pawk thai moenih. Anih te kai loh a hnukkhueng khohnin ah ka thoh ni.
“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 Tonghma cabu dongah a daek te om coeng tih Pathen kah a thuituen la boeih om uh ni. Pa taengkah a yaak tih aka cang boeih tah kai taengla ha pawk.
It is said in the prophets – ‘And they will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who is taught by the Father and learns from him comes to me.
46 Pathen taengah aka om pawt atah pakhat long khaw pa te a hmuh moenih. Amah long tah pa te a hmuh coeng.
Not that anyone has seen the Father, except him who is from God – he has seen the Father.
In truth I tell you, the person who believes in me has eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
48 Kai tah hingnah buh ni.
I am the life-giving bread.
49 Na pa rhoek loh khosoek ah manna a caak uh tih duek uh.
Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, and yet died.
50 He tah vaan lamkah aka suntla vaidam la a om dongah aka ca tah duek van pawh.
The bread that comes down from heaven is such that whoever eats of it will never die.
51 Kai tah vaan lamkah aka suntla tih aka hing vaidam ni. Khat khat long ni he kah vaidam he a caak atah yoeyah la hing ni. Kai tah Diklai hingnah la aka om ka pumsa ni vaidam la kam paek eh?,” a ti nah. (aiōn g165)
I am the living bread that has come down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, they will live for ever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.” (aiōn g165)
52 Te dongah Judah rhoek tah amamih hnuei uh thae tih, “Anih loh a saa te caak ham mamih m'paek thai aya?,” a ti uh.
They began disputing with one another, “How is it possible for this man to give us his flesh to eat?”
53 Te dongah Jesuh loh amih te, “Nangmih te rhep, rhep kan thui, hlang capa kah a saa te na ca uh pawt tih a thii te na ok uh pawt atah, namamih khuiah hingnah na khueh uh moenih.
“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 Ka saa aka ca tih ka thii aka o tah dungyan hingnah a khueh. A hnukkhueng khohnin ah anih te kai loh ka thoh ni. (aiōnios g166)
Everyone who takes my flesh for their food, and drinks my blood, has eternal life; and I will raise them up at the Last day. (aiōnios g166)
55 Ka saa tah caak tang la om tih ka thii tah ok koi tang la om.
For my flesh is true food, and my blood true drink.
56 Ka saa aka ca neh ka thii aka o tah ka khuiah te naeh tih kai khaw anih khuiah ka naeh.
Everyone who takes my flesh for their food, and drinks my blood, remains united to me, and I to them.
57 Aka hing a pa loh kai n'tueih tih a pa rhangneh kai ka hing bangla ka saa aka ca tah kai rhangneh hing van ni.
As the living Father sent me as his messenger, and as I live because the Father lives, so the person who takes me for their food will live because I live.
58 He tah vaan lamkah aka suntla vaidam ni. Na pa rhoek loh a caak uh tih a duek uh bang moenih. Tekah vaidam aka ca tah yoeyah la hing ni,” a ti nah. (aiōn g165)
That is the bread which has come down from heaven – not such as your ancestors ate, and yet died; the person who takes this bread for their food will live for ever.” (aiōn g165)
59 He rhoek he Kapernaum kah tunim ah a thuituen vaengah a thui.
All this Jesus said in a synagogue, when he was teaching in Capernaum.
60 A hnukbang rhoek loh muep a yaak uh vaengah, “Hekah olka he kaelkhak la om, u long a yakming thai eh?” a ti uh.
On hearing it, many of his disciples said, “This is harsh doctrine! Who can bear to listen to it?”
61 He kawngah a hnukbang rhoek a kohuet uh te Jesuh amah loh a ming dongah amih te, “He loh nangmih n'khah a?
But Jesus, aware that his disciples were murmuring about it, said to them,
62 Hlang capa te lamhma kah a om nah la a luei te na hmu uh koinih ta?
“Is this a hindrance to you? What, then, if you should see the Son of Man ascending where he was before?
63 Mueihla tah aka hing sak la om tih, pumsa tah a hong lam pataeng a hoeikhang sak moenih. Nangmih taeng ah ka thui olka rhoek te Mueihla la om tih hingnah la om.
It is the Spirit that gives life; human strength achieves nothing. In the teaching that I have been giving you there is Spirit and there is life.
64 Tedae nangmih khuiah aka om pakhat loh a tangnah moenih,” a ti nah. Te tah aka tangnah pawt la om tih te tah amah aka voei la a om khaw a tongnah lamlong ni Jesuh loh a ming.
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 Te phoeiah, “A pa lamloh a taengah paek la a om pawt atah kai taengla ha pawk thai pawt te nangmih taengah kan thui he,” a ti nah.
and he added, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me, unless enabled by the Father.”
66 Te lamkah tah a hnukbang rhoek te a hnuk la muep nong uh tih a taengah pongpa uh pawh.
After this many of his disciples drew back, and did not go about with him any longer.
67 Te dongah Jesuh loh hlainit rhoek te, “Nangmih khaw caeh na ngaih uh pawt nim?,” a ti nah.
So Jesus said to the Twelve, “Do you also wish to leave me?”
But Simon Peter answered, “Master, to whom would we go? Eternal life is in your teaching; (aiōnios g166)
69 Kumhal hingnah ol na khueh te ka tangnah uh dongah nang tah Pathen kah hlangcim ni tila ka ming uh,” a ti nah.
and we have learned to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God.”
70 Jesuh loh amih te, “Kai loh nangmih hlainit te kan tuek moenih a? Tedae nangmih khuiah rhaithae pakhat om,” a ti nah.
“Didn’t I myself choose you to be the Twelve?” replied Jesus, “and yet, even of you, one is playing the devil’s part.”
71 Simon capa Judas Iskariot ni a thui. Hlainit khuiah anih pakhat loh Jesuh te voeih hamla cai.
He meant Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, who was about to betray him, though he was one of the Twelve.
