Yohana 6
1 Payamasile yeleyo Che Yesu ŵajombweche litanda lya Galilaya pane likuŵilanjikwa litanda lya Tibelia.
Some time later Jesus left to go to the other side of the Sea of Galilee (also known as the Sea of Tiberias).
2 Mpingo wekulungwa wa ŵandu wakuiye ligongo ŵandu wo ŵaiweni imanyisyo iŵapanganyisye kwa kwalamya ŵandu.
A large crowd was following him, for they'd seen his miracles of healing.
3 Nipele Che Yesu pamo ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵakwesile mwitumbi ni kutama.
Jesus went up a hill and sat down there with his disciples.
4 Katema ka chindimba cha Pasaka ja Ŵayahudi kaŵandichile.
The time for the Jewish festival of the Passover was approaching.
5 Che Yesu paŵalolesyelolesye ŵauweni mpingo wekulungwa wa ŵandu uchaichililaga, nipele ŵausisye che Filipo, “Ana chitusume kwapi chakulya kuti twape ŵandu ŵa alye?”
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 Ŵaŵechete yeleyo kuti ŵalinje che Filipo, pakuŵa asyene ŵaimanyi chichaapanganye.
He only asked this to see how Philip would respond, because Jesus already knew what he was going to do.
7 Che Filipo ŵajanjile, “Ipande machila gaŵili ga madini ga feza ngaikukwana kusumila mikate kwa kila mundu!”
“Two hundred silver coins wouldn't buy enough bread to give everyone only a little,” Philip replied.
8 Jumo jwa ŵakulijiganya ŵa Che Yesu jwakuŵilanjikwa che Andulea, mpwao che Simoni Petulo, ŵaasalile Che Yesu,
One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, spoke up.
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'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 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.
“Have everybody sit down,” Jesus said. There was plenty of grass there, so they all sat down, the men numbering around five thousand.
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.
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 Ŵandu wo paŵajikwite Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao, “Nkumbikanye mbakatika yaisigele yo kuti inapotele.”
Once they were all full, he said to his disciples, “Collect what's left over so nothing is wasted.”
13 Nipele, ŵakulijiganya ŵala ŵakumbikenye isigasi ya mikate nsano ja shayili iyasigesye ŵandu ŵaŵalile ŵala, ŵagumbesye itundu likumi ni iŵili.
So they collected and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves the people had eaten.
14 Ŵandu paŵachiweni chimanyisyo chiŵachipanganyisye Che Yesu cho, ŵatite, “Isyene ajuju ni jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu jwaŵechetekwe kuti chaiche pachilambo.”
When the people saw this miracle, they said, “Surely this is the Prophet who was to come into the world.”
15 Che Yesu ŵaimanyi kuti ŵandu ŵasachile kwakanganichisya aŵe mwenye jwao, ni ŵatyosile sooni jikape ni kwaula ku chitumbi.
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 Pakwaswele ŵakulijiganya ŵa Che Yesu ŵatulwiche kwaula ku litanda.
When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea,
17 Ŵajinjile mu ngalaŵa ŵatandite komboka kwaula ku Kapelenaumu. Chipi chajinjile ni Che Yesu ŵaliji akanaŵe kwaichilila.
climbed into a boat, and headed across the water towards Capernaum. By now it was night and Jesus had not joined them yet.
18 Litanda lyatandite matumbela kwa ligongo lya chimbunga chekulungwa chichaliji chininkupuga.
A strong wind began blowing and the sea grew rough.
19 Ŵakulijiganya ŵao paŵajawile kwakutalichila uleu wa maili sitatu pane ncheche, ŵammweni Che Yesu alinkwenda pachanya meesi, ni kujiŵandichila ngalaŵa, ŵajogwepe nnope.
When they had rowed three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea, coming towards the boat. They were very frightened.
20 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Nkajogopa, ndili uneji!”
“Don't be afraid!” he told them. “It's me.”
21 Nipele ŵakulijiganya ŵala kwakusangalala ŵammendile Che Yesu ajinjile mu ngalaŵa mula. Palapala ngalaŵa jaiche mungulugulu litanda kuŵajaulaga.
Then they gladly took him into the boat, and immediately they reached the shore where 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.
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 Syaiche ngalaŵa sine kutyochela ku Tibelia pepala mpingo wekulungwa wa ŵandu paŵalile mikate, Ambuje ali amasile kwatogolela Akunnungu.
Then other boats arrived from Tiberias, landing near to the place where they'd eaten the bread after the Lord had blessed it.
24 Nipele, ŵandu wo paŵaimanyi kuti Che Yesu ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao nganapagwa pepala, ŵasikwesile ngalaŵa sila ni kwaula ku Kapelenaumu achinsosaga.
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 Ŵandu ŵala paŵasimene Che Yesu ali ajombweche ŵambusisye, “Ana, Jwakwiganya akuno nnyiche katema chi?”
When they found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him, “Rabbi, when did you get here?”
26 Che Yesu ŵaajanjile, “Ngunsalila isyene, nkusosasosa une ngaŵa kwaligongo mwaiweni imanyisyo imbanganyisye, nambo kwaligongo mwalile mikate jila ni kwikuta.
“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 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)
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 Nombewo ŵambusisye Che Yesu, “Tutende chichi kuti tukombole kugapanganya masengo gakugasakaga Akunnungu tugapanganye?”
So they asked him, “What should we be doing in order to do what God wants?”
29 Che Yesu ŵaajanjile, “Chelechi ni chakuchisaka Akunnungu nchipanganye, munkulupilile jwantumile jula.”
Jesus replied, “What God wants you to do is to trust in the one he sent.”
30 Pelepo ŵaasalile, “Ana chintende chimanyisyo chi tulole kuti tunkulupilile mmwe? Chintende chichi?
“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 Achambuje ŵetu ŵalile chakulya chachikuŵilanjikwa mana mwipululu mula mpela igakuti pakusala Malembelo ga Akunnungu, ‘Ŵalisisye mikate jajityochele kwinani.’”
“Our forefathers ate manna in the desert in fulfillment of the Scripture that says, ‘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.
“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 Pakuŵa nkate wakutupa Akunnungu uli ajula jwatulwiche kutyochela kwinani ni kwapa umi ŵandu ŵaali mchilambo.”
For the bread of God is the one who comes from heaven and gives life to the world.”
34 Nipele ŵaasalile, “Ambuje, ntupeje nkate wu kila lyuŵa.”
“Lord, please give us this kind of bread all the time!” they said.
35 Nambo Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Uneji ndili nkate waukwikanawo umi. Jwakwika kukwangu ngasijinkola sala, jwakungulupilila une ngasijinkola njota ng'oo.
“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 Nambo nansalile kuti namuno muuweni, nganimme kungulupilila.
But as I explained to you before, you have seen me, but you still don't trust me.
37 Wose ŵakuumba Atati chaiche kukwangu, noneji jwalijose jwakwika kukwangu ngasinankana ng'oo.
All those the Father gives me will come to me, and I won't reject any of them.
38 Nganinduluka kutyochela kwinani kwaligongo lya kuitendekanya ingusaka uneji, nambo ndulwiche kuti ndendekanye yakusaka ŵandumile une ŵala.
For I came down from heaven not to do what I want, but to do what the one who sent me wants.
39 Yakusaka ŵandumile une ŵala ni ayiyi, ninanjase jwalijose juŵambele, nambo naasyusye pa lyuŵa lya mbesi.
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 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)
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 Nipele Ŵayahudi ŵatandite kwasongonechela Che Yesu pakuŵa ŵatite, “Uneji ndili nkate wautulwiche kutyochela kwinani.”
Then the Jews began to grumble about him because he had said, “I am the bread that came down 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?”
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 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Nneche kusongonechelana jwine ni jwine.
“Stop grumbling to each other,” Jesus said.
44 Ngapagwa mundu juchakombole kwika kukwangu pangali Atati juŵandumile une jo kwautila kukwangu, ni une chinansyusye mundu jo pa lyuŵa lyambesi.
“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 Ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu ŵalembile kuti, ‘Ŵandu wose chajiganyikwe ni Akunnungu.’ Mundu jwalijose jwakumpilikana Atati ni kulijiganya kutyochela kwa ŵelewo, chaiche kukwangu.
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 Ngapagwa mundu jwambweni Atati, ikaŵe ajula pe jwatyosile kwa Akunnungu, jwelejo ni juŵambweni Atati.
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 Uneji ndili nkate waukwikanawo umi.
I am the bread of life.
49 Achambuje ŵenu ŵalile mana mwipululu mula, nambo ŵawile.
Your forefathers ate manna in the desert but they still died.
50 Nambo weleu ni nkate waukutuluka kutyochela kwinani kuti jwalijose jwakulya anajasiche.
But this is the bread that comes down from heaven, and anyone who eats it won't ever 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 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 Nipele Ŵayahudi ŵatandite kwangangana achinsyene pe, “Ana aju akukombola chinauli kutupa uwe chiilu chakwe kuti tulye?”
Then the Jews argued heatedly among themselves. “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” they asked.
53 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Ngunsalila isyene, iŵaga ngankulya chiilu cha Mwana jwa Mundu ni kung'wa miasi jakwe, ngankola umi nkati mwenu.
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 Mundu jwalijose jwakulya chiilu changu ni kungwa miasi jangu akwete umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi, ni uneji chinansyusye pa lyuŵa lyambesi. (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 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.
Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood remain in me, and I remain in them.
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 life-giving Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so anyone who feeds on me will 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)
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 Che Yesu ŵaŵechete yeleyo paŵaliji nkwiganya mu nyuumba ja kusimanilana Ŵayahudi ku Kapelenaumu kula.
Jesus explained this while he was teaching in a synagogue at Capernaum.
60 Nipele ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵajinji paŵapilikene yeleyo ŵatite, “Aga majiganyo ga gali gakulimba! Ana nduni juchakombole kugakunda?”
Many of his disciples when they heard it said, “This is hard to accept! Who can follow it?”
61 Che Yesu ŵaimanyi pangasalilwa ni mundu kuti ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵaliji nkusongoneka yankati yeleyo, ni ŵausisye, “Ana majiganyo ga gakuntesya nneche kungulupilila?
Jesus saw that his disciples were complaining about this, so he asked them, “Are you offended by this?
62 Nambi chiiŵe uli pachimummone Mwana jwa Mundu alinkujigalikwa kwaula kwinani kuŵaliji kundanda?
Then what if you were to see the Son ascend to where he was before?
63 Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ni jwakwichisya umi, machili ga mundu gangali chindu. Maloŵe ginansalile gali Mbumu nombe gali umi.
The Spirit gives life; the physical body doesn't do anything. The words I've told 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.
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 Nipele Che Yesu ŵaŵechete sooni, “Kwa ligongo lyo nansalile kuti ngapagwa juchakombole kwika kukwangu mpaka akamuchikwe ni Atati ŵangu.”
Jesus added, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is made possible by the Father.”
66 Kutyochela lyuŵa lyo ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵajinji ŵalesile kulongana nawo kwaligongo lya maloŵe gala ni ŵaujile panyuma.
From this time on many of Jesus' disciples gave up and no longer followed him.
67 Nipele Che Yesu ŵausisye ŵakulijiganya likumi ni ŵaŵili ŵala, “Ana, ni ŵanyamwe nombe nkusaka kwaula?”
Then Jesus asked the twelve disciples, “What about you? You don't want to leave as well, do you?”
68 Che Simoni Petulo ŵajanjile, “Ambuje, tutujaule kwa acheni? Mmwejo nkwete maloŵe gagakwikanawo umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (aiōnios g166)
Simon Peter answered, “Lord, who would we follow? You're the one who has the words of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
69 Uweji tukukulupilila ni sooni tukwimanyilila kuti mmwejo ndi Jwanswela kutyochela kwa Akunnungu.”
We trust in you, and we're convinced that you are God's Holy One.”
70 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Uli, nganinansagula ŵanyamwe likumi ni ŵaŵili? Nambo jumo jwenu ali Shetani.”
Jesus replied, “Didn't I choose you, the twelve disciples? Yet one of 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.
(Jesus was referring to Judas, son of Simon Iscariot. He was the one of the twelve disciples who would betray Jesus.)
