< Yohana 6 >

1 Payamasile yeleyo Che Yesu ŵajombweche litanda lya Galilaya pane likuŵilanjikwa litanda lya Tibelia.
After these things, Jesus traveled across the sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias.
2 Mpingo wekulungwa wa ŵandu wakuiye ligongo ŵandu wo ŵaiweni imanyisyo iŵapanganyisye kwa kwalamya ŵandu.
And a great multitude was following him, for they saw the signs that he was accomplishing toward those who were infirm.
3 Nipele Che Yesu pamo ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵakwesile mwitumbi ni kutama.
Therefore, Jesus went onto a mountain, and he sat down there with his disciples.
4 Katema ka chindimba cha Pasaka ja Ŵayahudi kaŵandichile.
Now the Passover, the feast day of the Jews, was near.
5 Che Yesu paŵalolesyelolesye ŵauweni mpingo wekulungwa wa ŵandu uchaichililaga, nipele ŵausisye che Filipo, “Ana chitusume kwapi chakulya kuti twape ŵandu ŵa alye?”
And so, when Jesus had lifted up his eyes and had seen that a very great multitude came to him, he said to Philip, “From where should we buy bread, so that these may eat?”
6 Ŵaŵechete yeleyo kuti ŵalinje che Filipo, pakuŵa asyene ŵaimanyi chichaapanganye.
But he said this to test him. For he himself knew what he would do.
7 Che Filipo ŵajanjile, “Ipande machila gaŵili ga madini ga feza ngaikukwana kusumila mikate kwa kila mundu!”
Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii of bread would not be sufficient for each of them to receive even a little.”
8 Jumo jwa ŵakulijiganya ŵa Che Yesu jwakuŵilanjikwa che Andulea, mpwao che Simoni Petulo, ŵaasalile Che Yesu,
One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to him:
9 “Kwana jwanchanda pelepa jwali ni ipande nsano ya mikate ja shayili ni somba siŵili. Nambo yakulya yi kanandi ngayajikutisya ŵandu ŵajinji ŵanti nyi?”
“There is a certain boy here, who has five barley loaves and two fish. But what are these among so many?”
10 Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao, “Mwasalile ŵandu atame paasi.” Pelepo paliji ni manyasi, nipele ŵandu wose ŵatemi paasi, winji wa achalume pe waliji mpela elufu tano.
Then Jesus said, “Have the men sit down to eat.” Now, there was much grass in that place. And so the men, in number about five thousand, sat down to eat.
11 Nipele Che Yesu ŵaijigele ipande ya mikate ila, ni ŵatogolele Akunnungu ni kwagaŵila ŵandu ŵaŵatemi paasi ŵala. Ŵatesile iyoyo peyo ni somba sila ni kila mundu ŵapatile mpela iŵatite pakusaka.
Therefore, Jesus took the bread, and when he had given thanks, he distributed it to those who were sitting down to eat; similarly also, from the fish, as much as they wanted.
12 Ŵandu wo paŵajikwite Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao, “Nkumbikanye mbakatika yaisigele yo kuti inapotele.”
Then, when they were filled, he said to his disciples, “Gather the fragments that are left over, lest they be lost.”
13 Nipele, ŵakulijiganya ŵala ŵakumbikenye isigasi ya mikate nsano ja shayili iyasigesye ŵandu ŵaŵalile ŵala, ŵagumbesye itundu likumi ni iŵili.
And so they gathered, and they filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which were left over from those who had eaten.
14 Ŵandu paŵachiweni chimanyisyo chiŵachipanganyisye Che Yesu cho, ŵatite, “Isyene ajuju ni jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu jwaŵechetekwe kuti chaiche pachilambo.”
Therefore, those men, when they had seen that Jesus had accomplished a sign, they said, “Truly, this one is the Prophet who is to come into the world.”
15 Che Yesu ŵaimanyi kuti ŵandu ŵasachile kwakanganichisya aŵe mwenye jwao, ni ŵatyosile sooni jikape ni kwaula ku chitumbi.
And so, when he realized that they were going to come and take him away and make him king, Jesus fled back to the mountain, by himself alone.
16 Pakwaswele ŵakulijiganya ŵa Che Yesu ŵatulwiche kwaula ku litanda.
Then, when evening arrived, his disciples descended to the sea.
17 Ŵajinjile mu ngalaŵa ŵatandite komboka kwaula ku Kapelenaumu. Chipi chajinjile ni Che Yesu ŵaliji akanaŵe kwaichilila.
And when they had climbed into a boat, they went across the sea to Capernaum. And darkness had now arrived, and Jesus had not returned to them.
18 Litanda lyatandite matumbela kwa ligongo lya chimbunga chekulungwa chichaliji chininkupuga.
Then the sea was stirred up by a great wind that was blowing.
19 Ŵakulijiganya ŵao paŵajawile kwakutalichila uleu wa maili sitatu pane ncheche, ŵammweni Che Yesu alinkwenda pachanya meesi, ni kujiŵandichila ngalaŵa, ŵajogwepe nnope.
And so, when they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they saw Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing near to the boat, and they were afraid.
20 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Nkajogopa, ndili uneji!”
But he said to them: “It is I. Do not be afraid.”
21 Nipele ŵakulijiganya ŵala kwakusangalala ŵammendile Che Yesu ajinjile mu ngalaŵa mula. Palapala ngalaŵa jaiche mungulugulu litanda kuŵajaulaga.
Therefore, they were willing to receive him into the boat. But immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.
22 Malaŵi jakwe mpingo wa ŵandu uŵasigele peesi litanda ula ŵaimanyi kuti apala paliji ni ngalaŵa jimo pe. Che Yesu nganajinjila mu ngalaŵa pamo ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao, nambo ŵakulijiganya ŵao wo ŵajawile achinsyene pe.
On the next day, the crowd which was standing across the sea saw that there were no other small boats in that place, except one, and that Jesus had not entered into the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had departed alone.
23 Syaiche ngalaŵa sine kutyochela ku Tibelia pepala mpingo wekulungwa wa ŵandu paŵalile mikate, Ambuje ali amasile kwatogolela Akunnungu.
Yet truly, other boats came over from Tiberias, next to the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord gave thanks.
24 Nipele, ŵandu wo paŵaimanyi kuti Che Yesu ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao nganapagwa pepala, ŵasikwesile ngalaŵa sila ni kwaula ku Kapelenaumu achinsosaga.
Therefore, when the crowd had seen that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they climbed into the small boats, and they went to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.
25 Ŵandu ŵala paŵasimene Che Yesu ali ajombweche ŵambusisye, “Ana, Jwakwiganya akuno nnyiche katema chi?”
And when they had found him across the sea, they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?”
26 Che Yesu ŵaajanjile, “Ngunsalila isyene, nkusosasosa une ngaŵa kwaligongo mwaiweni imanyisyo imbanganyisye, nambo kwaligongo mwalile mikate jila ni kwikuta.
Jesus answered them and said: “Amen, amen, I say to you, you seek me, not because you have seen signs, but because you have eaten from the bread and were satisfied.
27 Kasinchenjeuchila chakulya chachikuwola, nambo nchenjeuchile chakulya chingachikuwola cha umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi. Mwana jwa Mundu champe chakulya chi pakuŵa Akunnungu Atati, alosisye kuti ansagwile ni kunkunda.” (aiōnios g166)
Do not work for food that perishes, but for that which endures to eternal life, which the Son of man will give to you. For God the Father has sealed him.” (aiōnios g166)
28 Nombewo ŵambusisye Che Yesu, “Tutende chichi kuti tukombole kugapanganya masengo gakugasakaga Akunnungu tugapanganye?”
Therefore, they said to him, “What should we do, so that we may labor in the works of God?”
29 Che Yesu ŵaajanjile, “Chelechi ni chakuchisaka Akunnungu nchipanganye, munkulupilile jwantumile jula.”
Jesus responded and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he sent.”
30 Pelepo ŵaasalile, “Ana chintende chimanyisyo chi tulole kuti tunkulupilile mmwe? Chintende chichi?
And so they said to him: “Then what sign will you do, so that we may see it and believe in you? What will you work?
31 Achambuje ŵetu ŵalile chakulya chachikuŵilanjikwa mana mwipululu mula mpela igakuti pakusala Malembelo ga Akunnungu, ‘Ŵalisisye mikate jajityochele kwinani.’”
Our fathers ate manna in the desert, just as it has been written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’”
32 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Ngunsalila isyene, che Musa nganampanga nkate kutyochela kwinani, nambo Atati ŵangu ni ŵampele ŵanyamwe nkate usyene kutyochela kwinani.
Therefore, Jesus said to them: “Amen, amen, I say to you, Moses did not give you bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.
33 Pakuŵa nkate wakutupa Akunnungu uli ajula jwatulwiche kutyochela kwinani ni kwapa umi ŵandu ŵaali mchilambo.”
For the bread of God is he who descends from heaven and gives life to the world.”
34 Nipele ŵaasalile, “Ambuje, ntupeje nkate wu kila lyuŵa.”
And so they said to him, “Lord, give us this bread always.”
35 Nambo Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Uneji ndili nkate waukwikanawo umi. Jwakwika kukwangu ngasijinkola sala, jwakungulupilila une ngasijinkola njota ng'oo.
Then Jesus said to them: “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.
36 Nambo nansalile kuti namuno muuweni, nganimme kungulupilila.
But I say to you, that even though you have seen me, you do not believe.
37 Wose ŵakuumba Atati chaiche kukwangu, noneji jwalijose jwakwika kukwangu ngasinankana ng'oo.
All that the Father gives to me shall come to me. And whoever comes to me, I will not cast out.
38 Nganinduluka kutyochela kwinani kwaligongo lya kuitendekanya ingusaka uneji, nambo ndulwiche kuti ndendekanye yakusaka ŵandumile une ŵala.
For I descended from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
39 Yakusaka ŵandumile une ŵala ni ayiyi, ninanjase jwalijose juŵambele, nambo naasyusye pa lyuŵa lya mbesi.
Yet this is the will of the Father who sent me: that I should lose nothing out of all that he has given to me, but that I should raise them up on the last day.
40 Pakuŵa chakusaka Atati ŵangu ni achichi, jwalijose jwakunlola Mwana ni kunkulupilila akole umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi, ni uneji chinansyusye pa lyuŵa lya mbesi.” (aiōnios g166)
So then, this is the will of my Father who sent me: that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.” (aiōnios g166)
41 Nipele Ŵayahudi ŵatandite kwasongonechela Che Yesu pakuŵa ŵatite, “Uneji ndili nkate wautulwiche kutyochela kwinani.”
Therefore, the Jews murmured about him, because he had said: “I am the living bread, who descended from heaven.”
42 Ni ŵatite, “Uli, ajuju ngaŵa Che Yesu mwana ju che Yusufu jula? Atatigwe ni achikulugwe twamanyi! Ana akukombola chinauli kuti atulwiche kutyochela kwinani?”
And they said: “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? Then how can he say: ‘For I descended from heaven?’”
43 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Nneche kusongonechelana jwine ni jwine.
And so Jesus responded and said to them: “Do not choose to murmur among yourselves.
44 Ngapagwa mundu juchakombole kwika kukwangu pangali Atati juŵandumile une jo kwautila kukwangu, ni une chinansyusye mundu jo pa lyuŵa lyambesi.
No one is able to come to me, unless the Father, who has sent me, has drawn him. And I will raise him up on the last day.
45 Ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu ŵalembile kuti, ‘Ŵandu wose chajiganyikwe ni Akunnungu.’ Mundu jwalijose jwakumpilikana Atati ni kulijiganya kutyochela kwa ŵelewo, chaiche kukwangu.
It has been written in the Prophets: ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has listened and learned from the Father comes to me.
46 Ngapagwa mundu jwambweni Atati, ikaŵe ajula pe jwatyosile kwa Akunnungu, jwelejo ni juŵambweni Atati.
Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from God; this one has seen the Father.
47 Ngunsalila isyene, jwakukulupilila akwete umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (aiōnios g166)
Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me has eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
48 Uneji ndili nkate waukwikanawo umi.
I am the bread of life.
49 Achambuje ŵenu ŵalile mana mwipululu mula, nambo ŵawile.
Your fathers ate manna in the desert, and they died.
50 Nambo weleu ni nkate waukutuluka kutyochela kwinani kuti jwalijose jwakulya anajasiche.
This is the bread which descends from heaven, so that if anyone will eat from it, he may not die.
51 Uneji ndili nkate waukwikanawo umi wautulwiche kutyochela kwinani. Mundu jwalijose alyaga nkate wo chalame moŵa gose pangali mbesi. Ni nkate uchinaape wo uli chiilu changu chinguchityosya kuti ŵandu wose ŵapachilambo akole umi.” (aiōn g165)
I am the living bread, who descended from heaven. If anyone eats from this bread, he shall live in eternity. And the bread that I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world.” (aiōn g165)
52 Nipele Ŵayahudi ŵatandite kwangangana achinsyene pe, “Ana aju akukombola chinauli kutupa uwe chiilu chakwe kuti tulye?”
Therefore, the Jews debated among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
53 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Ngunsalila isyene, iŵaga ngankulya chiilu cha Mwana jwa Mundu ni kung'wa miasi jakwe, ngankola umi nkati mwenu.
And so, Jesus said to them: “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you will not have life in you.
54 Mundu jwalijose jwakulya chiilu changu ni kungwa miasi jangu akwete umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi, ni uneji chinansyusye pa lyuŵa lyambesi. (aiōnios g166)
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. (aiōnios g166)
55 Pakuŵa chiilu changu chili chakulya chisyenesyene, ni miasi jangu jili chakung'wa chisyenesyene.
For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
56 Mundu jwalijose jwakulya chiilu changu ni kung'wa miasi jangu, jwelejo akutama nkati mwangu ni uneji ngutama mwa jwelejo.
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.
57 Mpela ila Atati ŵaali ŵajumi iŵandumile, ni kwa ligongo lya Atati ndili ŵajumi, kwayele jwakundya une chaŵe ŵajumi kwa ligongo lyangu.
Just as the living Father has sent me and I live because of the Father, so also whoever eats me, the same shall live because of me.
58 Nipele, weleu uli nkate wautulwiche kutyochela kwinani, ngaŵa mpela mana jiŵalile achambuje ŵenu ni kuwa. Nambo juchalye nkate wu chakole umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi.” (aiōn g165)
This is the bread that descends from heaven. It is not like the manna that your fathers ate, for they died. Whoever eats this bread shall live forever.” (aiōn g165)
59 Che Yesu ŵaŵechete yeleyo paŵaliji nkwiganya mu nyuumba ja kusimanilana Ŵayahudi ku Kapelenaumu kula.
He said these things when he was teaching in the synagogue at Capernaum.
60 Nipele ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵajinji paŵapilikene yeleyo ŵatite, “Aga majiganyo ga gali gakulimba! Ana nduni juchakombole kugakunda?”
Therefore, many of his disciples, upon hearing this, said: “This saying is difficult,” and, “Who is able to listen to it?”
61 Che Yesu ŵaimanyi pangasalilwa ni mundu kuti ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵaliji nkusongoneka yankati yeleyo, ni ŵausisye, “Ana majiganyo ga gakuntesya nneche kungulupilila?
But Jesus, knowing within himself that his disciples were murmuring about this, said to them: “Does this offend you?
62 Nambi chiiŵe uli pachimummone Mwana jwa Mundu alinkujigalikwa kwaula kwinani kuŵaliji kundanda?
Then what if you were to see the Son of man ascending to where he was before?
63 Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ni jwakwichisya umi, machili ga mundu gangali chindu. Maloŵe ginansalile gali Mbumu nombe gali umi.
It is the Spirit who gives life. The flesh does not offer anything of benefit. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.
64 Natamuno yeleyo apali ŵane mwa ŵanyamwe ŵangakukulupilila.” Che Yesu ŵaŵechete yeleyo pakuŵa ŵaimanyi chitandile kundanda kuti ŵaani ŵangakulupilila ni nduni juchangalauche.
But there are some among you who do not believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who were unbelieving and which one would betray him.
65 Nipele Che Yesu ŵaŵechete sooni, “Kwa ligongo lyo nansalile kuti ngapagwa juchakombole kwika kukwangu mpaka akamuchikwe ni Atati ŵangu.”
And so he said, “For this reason, I said to you that no one is able to come to me, unless it has been given to him by my Father.”
66 Kutyochela lyuŵa lyo ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵajinji ŵalesile kulongana nawo kwaligongo lya maloŵe gala ni ŵaujile panyuma.
After this, many of his disciples went back, and they no longer walked with him.
67 Nipele Che Yesu ŵausisye ŵakulijiganya likumi ni ŵaŵili ŵala, “Ana, ni ŵanyamwe nombe nkusaka kwaula?”
Therefore, Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you also want to go away?”
68 Che Simoni Petulo ŵajanjile, “Ambuje, tutujaule kwa acheni? Mmwejo nkwete maloŵe gagakwikanawo umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (aiōnios g166)
Then Simon Peter answered him: “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
69 Uweji tukukulupilila ni sooni tukwimanyilila kuti mmwejo ndi Jwanswela kutyochela kwa Akunnungu.”
And we have believed, and we recognize that you are the Christ, the Son of God.”
70 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Uli, nganinansagula ŵanyamwe likumi ni ŵaŵili? Nambo jumo jwenu ali Shetani.”
Jesus answered them: “Have I not chosen you twelve? And yet one among you is a devil.”
71 Nambo Che Yesu ŵaliji nkwagamba che Yuda mwana ju che Simoni Isikaliote, pakuŵa jwelejo ni juchangalauche namuno ali jumo jwa ŵakulijiganya likumi ni ŵaŵili ŵala.
Now he was speaking about Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. For this one, even though he was one of the twelve, was about to betray him.
