< Yohana 6 >

1 Payamasile yeleyo Che Yesu ŵajombweche litanda lya Galilaya pane likuŵilanjikwa litanda lya Tibelia.
After this, Jesus went to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, also called the Sea of Tiberias.
2 Mpingo wekulungwa wa ŵandu wakuiye ligongo ŵandu wo ŵaiweni imanyisyo iŵapanganyisye kwa kwalamya ŵandu.
A great multitude was following Him, because they were seeing the signs that He was performing on those who were sick.
3 Nipele Che Yesu pamo ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵakwesile mwitumbi ni kutama.
Jesus went up on a mountain side, and sat down with His disciples.
4 Katema ka chindimba cha Pasaka ja Ŵayahudi kaŵandichile.
The Jewish Passover Feast 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?”
Jesus looked up, and saw that a great multitude was coming to Him, so He asked Philip, “Where can we buy bread, so that these may eat?”
6 Ŵaŵechete yeleyo kuti ŵalinje che Filipo, pakuŵa asyene ŵaimanyi chichaapanganye.
He said this to test him, for He knew what He would do.
7 Che Filipo ŵajanjile, “Ipande machila gaŵili ga madini ga feza ngaikukwana kusumila mikate kwa kila mundu!”
Philip answered, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread wouldn’t even be enough for everyone to receive a little!”
8 Jumo jwa ŵakulijiganya ŵa Che Yesu jwakuŵilanjikwa che Andulea, mpwao che Simoni Petulo, ŵaasalile Che Yesu,
One of Jesus’ disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, 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 boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what is that among 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.
Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” There was plenty of grass there, so the men sat down, in number about 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 loaves, and when He had given thanks, He distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to those sitting down. He did likewise with the fish, as much as they wanted.
12 Ŵandu wo paŵajikwite Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao, “Nkumbikanye mbakatika yaisigele yo kuti inapotele.”
When they were filled, He told His disciples, “Gather up the leftover pieces, so that nothing may be wasted.”
13 Nipele, ŵakulijiganya ŵala ŵakumbikenye isigasi ya mikate nsano ja shayili iyasigesye ŵandu ŵaŵalile ŵala, ŵagumbesye itundu likumi ni iŵili.
Therefore they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves, which were left over by those who 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 the sign which He had performed, they said, “This is truly 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.
When Jesus perceived that they meant to come and take Him by force to make Him king, He withdrew again to the mountain by Himself.
16 Pakwaswele ŵakulijiganya ŵa Che Yesu ŵatulwiche kwaula ku litanda.
When evening came, Jesus’ disciples went down to the sea,
17 Ŵajinjile mu ngalaŵa ŵatandite komboka kwaula ku Kapelenaumu. Chipi chajinjile ni Che Yesu ŵaliji akanaŵe kwaichilila.
got into the boat, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. It was already dark, and Jesus had not come to them.
18 Litanda lyatandite matumbela kwa ligongo lya chimbunga chekulungwa chichaliji chininkupuga.
The sea arose because a great wind was blowing.
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 about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near the boat. They were terrified,
20 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Nkajogopa, ndili uneji!”
but He told them, “It’s me. Don’t be afraid.”
21 Nipele ŵakulijiganya ŵala kwakusangalala ŵammendile Che Yesu ajinjile mu ngalaŵa mula. Palapala ngalaŵa jaiche mungulugulu litanda kuŵajaulaga.
Then they willingly took Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land 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 saw that there had been only one boat there. They also saw that Jesus had not gone in the boat with His disciples, but that His disciples had gone away alone.
23 Syaiche ngalaŵa sine kutyochela ku Tibelia pepala mpingo wekulungwa wa ŵandu paŵalile mikate, Ambuje ali amasile kwatogolela Akunnungu.
Then some other boats from Tiberias landed near the place where the people had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.
24 Nipele, ŵandu wo paŵaimanyi kuti Che Yesu ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao nganapagwa pepala, ŵasikwesile ngalaŵa sila ni kwaula ku Kapelenaumu achinsosaga.
When the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor His disciples were there, they got into the boats and went 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 come here?”
26 Che Yesu ŵaajanjile, “Ngunsalila isyene, nkusosasosa une ngaŵa kwaligongo mwaiweni imanyisyo imbanganyisye, nambo kwaligongo mwalile mikate jila ni kwikuta.
Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate the loaves and were filled.
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 labor for perishable food, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him.” (aiōnios g166)
28 Nombewo ŵambusisye Che Yesu, “Tutende chichi kuti tukombole kugapanganya masengo gakugasakaga Akunnungu tugapanganye?”
Then they asked Him, “What must we do to do God’s works?”
29 Che Yesu ŵaajanjile, “Chelechi ni chakuchisaka Akunnungu nchipanganye, munkulupilile jwantumile jula.”
Jesus answered them, “This is God’s work, that you believe in Him who He has sent.”
30 Pelepo ŵaasalile, “Ana chintende chimanyisyo chi tulole kuti tunkulupilile mmwe? Chintende chichi?
Therefore they asked Him, “What sign will You perform then, that we may see it and believe You? What work will You do?
31 Achambuje ŵetu ŵalile chakulya chachikuŵilanjikwa mana mwipululu mula mpela igakuti pakusala Malembelo ga Akunnungu, ‘Ŵalisisye mikate jajityochele kwinani.’”
Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness. As it’s 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.
Jesus told them, “Most assuredly, I tell you, Moses didn’t give you the 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 God’s bread is He who comes down from Heaven and gives life to the world.”
34 Nipele ŵaasalile, “Ambuje, ntupeje nkate wu kila lyuŵa.”
Then they said to Him, “Lord, give us this bread forever.”
35 Nambo Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Uneji ndili nkate waukwikanawo umi. Jwakwika kukwangu ngasijinkola sala, jwakungulupilila une ngasijinkola njota ng'oo.
Jesus told them, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.
36 Nambo nansalile kuti namuno muuweni, nganimme kungulupilila.
As I told you, you have seen me, and yet you still don’t believe.
37 Wose ŵakuumba Atati chaiche kukwangu, noneji jwalijose jwakwika kukwangu ngasinankana ng'oo.
All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away.
38 Nganinduluka kutyochela kwinani kwaligongo lya kuitendekanya ingusaka uneji, nambo ndulwiche kuti ndendekanye yakusaka ŵandumile une ŵala.
I have come down 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.
This is the will of the Father who sent me, that of all He has given me I should lose none, but should 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)
This is also the will of Him who sent me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise them up at the last day.” (aiōnios g166)
41 Nipele Ŵayahudi ŵatandite kwasongonechela Che Yesu pakuŵa ŵatite, “Uneji ndili nkate wautulwiche kutyochela kwinani.”
The Jews then grumbled about Jesus, because He said, “I am the bread which 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 were saying, “Isn’t this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can He claim, ‘I have come down from Heaven’?”
43 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Nneche kusongonechelana jwine ni jwine.
Jesus answered, “Stop grumbling 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 can come to me unless drawn by the Father who sent me, and I will raise that person 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’s written in the prophets, ‘They will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me.
46 Ngapagwa mundu jwambweni Atati, ikaŵe ajula pe jwatyosile kwa Akunnungu, jwelejo ni juŵambweni Atati.
Nobody has seen the Father except the one who is from God. He has seen the Father.
47 Ngunsalila isyene, jwakukulupilila akwete umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (aiōnios g166)
Most assuredly, I tell you, everyone who believes in me has everlasting 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 wilderness, but they died.
50 Nambo weleu ni nkate waukutuluka kutyochela kwinani kuti jwalijose jwakulya anajasiche.
This is the bread which comes down from Heaven, so that one may eat of it and 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 that came down from Heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live forever. The bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.” (aiōn g165)
52 Nipele Ŵayahudi ŵatandite kwangangana achinsyene pe, “Ana aju akukombola chinauli kutupa uwe chiilu chakwe kuti tulye?”
Therefore the Jews argued 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.
Then Jesus told them, “Most assuredly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink His blood, you have no 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 that person 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.
One who eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me, and I in that person.
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 sent me, and I live because of the Father, so the one 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)
This is the bread which came down from Heaven, not like the manna your forefathers ate, and died. A person who eats this bread will live forever.” (aiōn g165)
59 Che Yesu ŵaŵechete yeleyo paŵaliji nkwiganya mu nyuumba ja kusimanilana Ŵayahudi ku Kapelenaumu kula.
He said this while teaching in the synagogue at Capernaum.
60 Nipele ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵajinji paŵapilikene yeleyo ŵatite, “Aga majiganyo ga gali gakulimba! Ana nduni juchakombole kugakunda?”
Therefore when many of His disciples heard this, they said, “This is a hard teaching. Who can stand to hear it?”
61 Che Yesu ŵaimanyi pangasalilwa ni mundu kuti ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵaliji nkusongoneka yankati yeleyo, ni ŵausisye, “Ana majiganyo ga gakuntesya nneche kungulupilila?
Jesus, aware that his disciples were complaining about this, asked them, “Does this offend you?
62 Nambi chiiŵe uli pachimummone Mwana jwa Mundu alinkujigalikwa kwaula kwinani kuŵaliji kundanda?
What if you saw the Son of Man 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 flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak 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.
Yet there are some of you who don’t believe.” Jesus knew from the beginning who didn’t believe, 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.”
He said, “For this reason I have told you, that no one can come to me, unless it has been granted by the Father.”
66 Kutyochela lyuŵa lyo ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵajinji ŵalesile kulongana nawo kwaligongo lya maloŵe gala ni ŵaujile panyuma.
Because of this, many of His disciples turned back and didn’t walk with him any more.
67 Nipele Che Yesu ŵausisye ŵakulijiganya likumi ni ŵaŵili ŵala, “Ana, ni ŵanyamwe nombe nkusaka kwaula?”
Then Jesus asked the twelve, “Do you want to go away, too?”
68 Che Simoni Petulo ŵajanjile, “Ambuje, tutujaule kwa acheni? Mmwejo nkwete maloŵe gagakwikanawo umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (aiōnios g166)
Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, who will we go to? You have words of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
69 Uweji tukukulupilila ni sooni tukwimanyilila kuti mmwejo ndi Jwanswela kutyochela kwa Akunnungu.”
We have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
70 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Uli, nganinansagula ŵanyamwe likumi ni ŵaŵili? Nambo jumo jwenu ali Shetani.”
Jesus answered, “Didn’t I choose you, the twelve, yet one of you is a slanderer?”
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.
He was speaking of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, for he, one of the twelve, was going to betray him.
