John 6
1 After these things, Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, which is also called the Sea of Tiberias.
Mgbe nke a gasịrị, Jisọs gafere nʼofe nke ọzọ nke osimiri Galili (nke a na-akpọkwa osimiri Tiberịas).
2 A great multitude followed him, because they saw his signs which he did on those who were sick.
Oke igwe mmadụ sooro ya, nʼihi na ha hụrụ ọrụ ebube ọ na-arụ nʼahụ ndị ọrịa.
3 Jesus went up into the mountain, and he sat there with his disciples.
Jisọs rigooro nʼelu ugwu nọdụ ala ya na ndị na-eso ụzọ ya.
4 Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand.
Nʼoge a, mmemme oriri Ngabiga ndị Juu na-abịa nso.
5 Jesus therefore, lifting up his eyes and seeing that a great multitude was coming to him, said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread, that these may eat?”
Mgbe Jisọs leliri anya elu hụ oke igwe mmadụ na-abịakwute ya, ọ sịrị Filip, “Olee ebe anyị ga-azụta achịcha ndị a ga-ata?”
6 He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.
Ọ jụrụ nke a naanị iji nwalee ya, ya onwe ya mararị ihe ọ ga-eme.
7 Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may receive a little.”
Filip zara ya, “Ụgwọ ọrụ ọnwa isii agaghị ezu ịzụta achịcha nke onye ọbụla nʼime ha ga-atatụ naanị ihe ntakịrị.”
8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him,
Onye ọzọ nʼime ndị na-eso ụzọ ya bụ Andru, nwanne Saimọn Pita, kwupụtara,
9 “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these among so many?”
“Otu nwantakịrị nwoke nọ nʼebe a nwere ogbe achịcha balị ise, na azụ abụọ, ma gịnị ka ha bụ nʼetiti igwe mmadụ ha otu a?”
10 Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in that place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
Jisọs sịrị, “Meenụ ka ndị mmadụ ndị a nọdụ ala.” E nwere ọtụtụ ahịhịa nʼebe ahụ, ụmụ nwoke nọdụrụ ala, ha dị ihe ruru puku mmadụ ise.
11 Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those who were sitting down, likewise also of the fish as much as they desired.
Ya mere, Jisọs weere achịcha ahụ nye ekele, kee ha ndị niile nọdụrụ ala dị ka ha sịrị chọọ. O jikwa azụ ahụ mee otu ihe ahụ.
12 When they were filled, he said to his disciples, “Gather up the broken pieces which are left over, that nothing be lost.”
Mgbe ha niile rijuchara afọ, ọ sịrị ndị na-eso ụzọ ya, “Tụtụkọtanụ iberibe niile fọdụrụ, ka ihe ọbụla hapụ ịla nʼiyi.”
13 So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves, which were left over by those who had eaten.
Ya mere, ha tụtụkọtara ha, kpojuo nkata iri na abụọ, bụ iberibe si nʼogbe achịcha balị ise nke ndị ahụ rifọrọ.
14 When therefore the people saw the sign which Jesus did, they said, “This is truly the prophet who comes into the world.”
Mgbe ndị mmadụ ahụ hụrụ ihe ịrịbama ahụ, o mere ha bidoro na-asị, “Nʼeziokwu, onye a bụ onye amụma ahụ nke ga-abịa nʼime ụwa.”
15 Jesus therefore, perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, withdrew again to the mountain by himself.
Mgbe Jisọs matara na ha chọrọ ịbịa dọkpụrụ ya nʼike chie ya eze, ọ hapụrụ ha ga nʼugwu naanị ya, nʼonwe ya.
16 When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea.
Mgbe o ruru nʼuhuruchi, ndị na-eso ụzọ ya rịdara gaa nʼọnụ mmiri,
17 They entered into the boat, and were going over the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them.
ebe ha banyere nʼotu ụgbọ mmiri, malite ịgabiga osimiri gawa nʼofe Kapanọm. Nʼoge a ọchịchịrị agbaala ma Jisọs alọghachikwutebeghị ha.
18 The sea was tossed by a great wind blowing.
Ebili mmiri maliri elu nʼihi nʼoke ifufe bidoro na-efe.
19 When therefore 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.
Ha akwọọla ụgbọ ihe dịka kilomita ise maọbụ isii, mgbe ha hụrụ Jisọs ka ọ na-aga ije nʼelu mmiri ahụ na-abịa nso nʼụgbọ mmiri ha. Oke egwu tụkwara ha.
20 But he said to them, “It is I. Do not be afraid.”
Ma ọ sịrị ha, “Unu atụla egwu. Ọ bụ m.”
21 They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat. Immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.
Mgbe ahụ, ha nabatara ya nʼime ụgbọ ahụ, ọ dịkwaghị anya ụgbọ ha bịaruru nʼelu ala ebe ha na-aga.
22 On the next day, the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except the one in which his disciples had embarked, and that Jesus had not entered with his disciples into the boat, but his disciples had gone away alone.
Nʼechi ya, igwe mmadụ ahụ nọdụrụ nʼofe ọzọ nke ọnụ mmiri ahụ chọpụtara na ọ bụ naanị otu ụgbọ mmiri nta bịara nʼebe ahụ, na Jisọs esoghị ndị na-eso ụzọ ya banye nʼime ya, kama na ọ bụ naanị ndị na-eso ụzọ ya ka ụgbọ mmiri ahụ buuru pụọ.
23 However, boats from Tiberias came near to the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.
Mgbe ahụ ụfọdụ ụgbọ mmiri si Tiberịas bịara kwụsị nso nso ebe ahụ ndị mmadụ nọ rie achịcha mgbe Onyenwe anyị nyechara ekele maka ya.
24 When the multitude therefore saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.
Ma mgbe igwe mmadụ ahụ ghọtara na Jisọs na ndị na-eso ụzọ ya anọghị nʼebe ahụ, ha banyere nʼụgbọ mmiri nta ndị ahụ kwọfee gawa Kapanọm ịchọ Jisọs.
25 When they found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?”
Mgbe ha hụrụ ya nʼofe ọzọ nke osimiri ahụ, ha sịrị ya, “Onye ozizi, olee mgbe i jiri bịa nʼebe a?”
26 Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, you seek me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled.
Jisọs sịrị ha, “Nʼezie, nʼezie agwa m unu, ihe unu ji na-achọ m abụghị nʼihi na unu hụrụ ihe ịrịbama m mere, kama na unu riri achịcha rijuokwa afọ.
27 Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which remains to consummate (aiōnios g166) life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has sealed him."
Unu adọgbula onwe unu maka nri nke na-emebi emebi, kama maka nri nke na-adịgide ruo ndụ ebighị ebi, bụ nke Nwa nke Mmadụ ga-enye unu. Nʼihi na Chineke Nna akakwasịla ya akara nkwado ya.” (aiōnios g166)
28 They said therefore to him, “What must we do, that we may work the works of God?”
Mgbe ahụ, ha sịrị, “Gịnị ka anyị ga-eme iji rụọ ọrụ Chineke?”
29 Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.”
Jisọs zara sị ha, “Ọrụ Chineke bụ nke a, ikwere nʼonye ahụ o zitere.”
30 They said therefore to him, “What then do you do for a sign, that we may see and believe you? What work do you do?
Ya mere ha sịrị ya, “Olee ihe ịrịbama ị ga-egosi anyị nke anyị ga-ahụ ma kwere na gị? Kedụ ọrụ ị ga-arụ?
31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness. As it is written, ‘He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.’”
Nna nna anyị ha riri mánà nʼọzara; dị ka e dere ya nʼakwụkwọ nsọ sị, ‘O sitere nʼeluigwe nye ha achịcha ka ha rie.’”
32 Jesus therefore said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread out of heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven.
Jisọs sịrị ha, “Nʼezie, nʼezie agwa m unu, ọ bụghị Mosis nyere unu achịcha ahụ site nʼeluigwe, kama ọ bụ Nna m na-enye unu ezi achịcha ahụ site nʼeluigwe.
33 For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world.”
Nʼihi na achịcha Chineke bụ nke ahụ si nʼeluigwe rịdata, na-enyekwa ụwa ndụ.”
34 They said therefore to him, “Lord, always give us this bread.”
Ha sịrị ya, “Nna anyị ukwu, nye anyị ụdị achịcha a site ugbu a gawa.”
35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will not be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.
Jisọs sịrị ha, “Abụ m achịcha ahụ na-enye ndụ. Onye ọbụla na-abịakwute m, agụụ agaghị agụ ya. Onye ọbụla kwa kweere na m, akpịrị agaghị akpọ ya nkụ.
36 But I told you that you have seen me, and yet you do not believe.
Ma agwa m unu, unu ahụla m ma unu ekweghịkwa.
37 All those whom the Father gives me will come to me. He who comes to me I will in no way throw out.
Onye ọbụla Nna ahụ nyere m ga-abịakwute m, onye ọbụla na-abịakwute m, agaghị m achụpụ ya.
38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
Nʼihi na esi m nʼeluigwe rịdata nʼụwa ime uche onye ahụ zitere m, ọ bụghị ime uche nke m.
39 This is the will of my Father who sent me, that of all he has given to me I should lose nothing, but should raise him up at the last day.
Nke a bụkwa uche onye ahụ zitere m, na o nweghị onye ọbụla o nyere m ga-efunarị m, kama m ga-eme ka ha site nʼọnwụ bilie nʼụbọchị ikpeazụ.
40 This is the will of the one who sent me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him should have consummate (aiōnios g166) life; and I will raise him up at the last day."
Nke a bụ uche nke Nna m, na onye ọbụla lere Ọkpara ahụ anya, kwerekwa na ya ga-enweta ndụ ebighị ebi, m ga-emekwa ka o bilie nʼụbọchị ikpeazụ.” (aiōnios g166)
41 The Jews therefore murmured concerning him, because he said, “I am the bread which came down out of heaven.”
Nʼihi nke a, ndị Juu bidoro itamu ntamu megide ya nʼihi na ọ sịrị, “Abụ m achịcha ahụ siri nʼeluigwe rịdata.”
42 They said, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then does he say, ‘I have come down out of heaven’?”
Ha sịrị, “Onye a ọ bụghị Jisọs, nwa Josef, bụ onye anyị matara nne na nna ya? Oleekwanụ otu o si ekwu ugbu a sị, ‘Esi m nʼeluigwe rịdata’?”
43 Therefore Jesus answered them, “Do not murmur among yourselves.
Jisọs zara sị ha, “Unu atamula nʼetiti onwe unu.
44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him; and I will raise him up in the last day.
O nweghị onye nwere ike ịbịakwute m ma ọ bụghị na Nna ahụ zitere m kpọtara ya, aga m akpọlitekwa ya nʼụbọchị ikpeazụ.
45 It is written in the prophets, ‘They will all be taught by God.’ Therefore everyone who hears from the Father and has learned, comes to me.
E dere ya nʼakwụkwọ ndị amụma, ‘Ha niile ga-abụ ndị Chineke ga-akụziri ihe.’Onye ọbụla nke gere Nna ahụ ntị ma mụtakwa ihe site na ya na-abịakwute m.
46 Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from God. He has seen the Father.
O nweghị onye ọbụla hụrụla Nna ahụ karịakwa onye ahụ sitere na Chineke, naanị ya hụrụla Nna ahụ.
Nʼeze, nʼezie agwa m unu, onye ọbụla kwerenụ nwere ndụ ebighị ebi. (aiōnios g166)
48 I am the bread of life.
Abụ m achịcha nke ndụ.
49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and they died.
Nna nna unu ha riri mánà ahụ nʼime ọzara ma mecha nwụọ.
50 This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, that anyone may eat of it and not die.
Ma nke a bụ achịcha ahụ nke si nʼeluigwe bịa, nke mmadụ pụrụ iri ma ghara ịnwụ anwụ.
51 I am the living bread which came down out of heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live in this age (aiōn g165). Yes, the bread which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh."
Abụ m achịcha dị ndụ nke siri nʼeluigwe bịa. Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla erie achịcha a, ọ ga-adị ndụ ruo ebighị ebi. Nri a bụ anụ ahụ m, nke m ga-enye maka ndụ nke ụwa.” (aiōn g165)
52 The Jews therefore contended with one another, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
Mgbe ahụ, ndị Juu bidoro na-arụrịta ụka ike nʼetiti onwe ha sị, “Olee otu nwoke a ga-esi nye anyị anụ ahụ ya ka anyị rie?”
53 Jesus therefore said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life in yourselves.
Jisọs sịrị ha, “Nʼezie, nʼezie agwa m unu, naanị ma unu riri anụ ahụ Nwa nke Mmadụ ma ṅụọkwa ọbara ya, unu agaghị enwe ndụ nʼime onwe unu.
54 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has consummate (aiōnios g166) life, and I will raise him up at the last day.
Onye ọbụla riri anụ ahụ m, ṅụọkwa ọbara m nwere ndụ ebighị ebi. A ga m akpọlitekwa ya nʼụbọchị ikpeazụ ahụ. (aiōnios g166)
55 For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
Nʼihi na anụ ahụ m bụ ezigbo nri, ọbara m bụkwa ezigbo ihe ọṅụṅụ.
56 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me, and I in him.
Onye ọbụla na-eri anụ ahụ m na-aṅụkwa ọbara m na-anọgide nʼime m mụ onwe m kwa nʼime ya.
57 As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on me will also live because of me.
Dị ka Nna ahụ dị ndụ zitere m, ana m adịkwa ndụ nʼihi Nna ahụ, otu a ka onye na-eri m ga-adịkwa ndụ site na m.
58 This is the bread which came down out of heaven—not as our fathers ate, and died. He who eats this bread will live in this age (aiōn g165)."
Nke a bụ achịcha ahụ si nʼeluigwe bịa. Nna nna unu ha riri mánà ma nwụkwaa, ma onye ọbụla na-eri achịcha a ga-adị ndụ ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.” (aiōn g165)
59 He said these things in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
O kwuru ihe ndị a mgbe ọ na-akụzi ihe nʼụlọ ekpere dị na Kapanọm.
60 Therefore many of his disciples, when they heard this, said, “This is a hard saying! Who can listen to it?”
Mgbe ọtụtụ nʼime ndị na-eso ụzọ ya ha nụrụ nke a, ha sịrị, “Nke a bụ ozizi siri ike, onye nwere ike ịnabata ya?”
61 But Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said to them, “Does this cause you to stumble?
Ebe Jisọs matara na ndị na-eso ụzọ ya na-atamu ntamu maka nke a ọ sịrị ha, “Nke a ọ na-ewute unu?
62 Then what if you would see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?
Gịnị ka unu ga-ekwu ma ọ bụrụ na unu ahụ Nwa nke Mmadụ ka ọ na-arịgo ebe ọ nọrịị na mbụ.
63 It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.
Ọ bụ Mmụọ ahụ na-enye ndụ; anụ ahụ abaghị uru ọbụla, okwu ndị m gwara unu bụ mmụọ bụrụkwa ndụ.
64 But there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who it was who would betray him.
Ma nʼetiti unu, ọ dị ụfọdụ na-ekwenyeghị.” Nʼihi na Jisọs maara site na mmalite ndị ahụ nʼime ha na-ekwenyeghị, matakwa onye ahụ nke ga-arara ya nye.
65 He said, “For this cause I have said to you that no one can come to me, unless it is given to him by my Father.”
Ọ sịrị, “Ọ bụ nke a mere m jiri gwa unu na o nweghị onye ọbụla nwere ike ịbịakwute m ma ọ bụrụ na Nna m enyeghị ya ike.”
66 At this, many of his disciples went back and walked no more with him.
Nʼihi nke a, ọtụtụ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya laghachiri azụ, kwụsị iso ya.
67 Jesus said therefore to the twelve, “You do not also want to go away, do you?”
Jisọs sịrị mmadụ iri na abụọ ahụ, “Unu chọkwara iso ha pụọ?”
68 Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of consummate (aiōnios g166) life.
Saimọn Pita zara ya sị, “Onyenwe anyị, onye ka anyị ga-agakwuru? Ọ bụ gị ji okwu nke ndụ ebighị ebi. (aiōnios g166)
69 We have come to believe and know that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Anyị kweere marakwa na ị bụ Onye Nsọ nke Chineke.”
70 Jesus answered them, “Did not I choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?”
Jisọs zara ha, “Ọ bụghị m họpụtara unu mmadụ iri na abụọ? Ma otu onye nʼime unu bụ ekwensu!”
71 Now he spoke of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, for it was he who would betray him, being one of the twelve.
Ọ na-ekwu banyere Judas nwa Saimọn Iskarịọt, onye nʼagbanyeghị na ọ bụ otu nʼime mmadụ iri na abụọ ahụ, bụ onye ga-arara ya nye.
