< 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.
Shakapanu, Yesu kalokiti litanda lya Galilaya ama litanda lya Tiberiya
2 A great multitude followed him, because they saw his signs which he did on those who were sick.
Lipinga likulu lya wantu limfatiti toziya wantu awa waweriti wawona mauzauza gakuwi ga kuwaponiziya walweli
3 Jesus went up into the mountain, and he sat there with his disciples.
Yesu kakweniti mulugongu, kalivaga pamuhera na wafundwa wakuwi.
4 Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand.
Msambu gwa Wayawudi gwa Pasaka guweriti gwapakwegera.
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?”
Su, Yesu kalola wega zoseri na kuwona lipinga likulu lya wantu lyankumwizira, kamkosiya Filipu, “Tuhemeri koshi mabumunda su wantu awa wapati kuliya?”
6 He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.
Katakuliti aga kumjera Filipu, kavimaniti kala mweni hakavinyawi.
7 Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may receive a little.”
Filipu kamwankula, “Mabumunda ga mpiya sha shibenamgongu sha myezi sita hashiwatoshi ndiri wantu awa.”
8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him,
Yumu gwa Wafundwa wakuwi yawamshema Andereya, mlongu gwakuwi Simoni Peteru kamgambira,
9 “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these among so many?”
“Panu pana muntemba yumu kawera na mabumunda muhanu na wasomba wawili. Kumbiti avi vitosha ndiri kwa wantu wavuwa handa awa?”
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.
Yesu katakula, “muwagambirani wantu walivagi pasi.” Paweriti na mahamba pahala palii. Wantu walivagiti. Paweriti wapalu elufu muhanu.
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.
Yesu katola mabumunda galii, kalonga mayagashii Mlungu, kawapanana wantu yawalivagiti pasi. Katenda hangu na wasomba walii.
12 When they were filled, he said to his disciples, “Gather up the broken pieces which are left over, that nothing be lost.”
Wantu pawikutiti Yesu kawagambira Wafundwa wakuwi, wajojaniri vipandi vyavisigaliti, namwasa shintu.
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.
Su, wavitula pamuhera vipandi vyavisigaliti vya mabumunda wavimemiziya mumajamanda lilongu na mawili kulawa kwa mabumunda muhanu galii.
14 When therefore the people saw the sign which Jesus did, they said, “This is truly the prophet who comes into the world.”
Wantu pawaliwoniti liuzauza ali Yesu lyakalitenditi, watakula, “Nakaka ayu ndo mweni mbuyi gwa Mlungu yakiziti pasipanu.”
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.
Yesu kavimana handa wantu wafiriti kumtola kwa makakala wamtendi mfalumi, kawukiti kayi kagenditi palugongu gweka yakuwi.
16 When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea.
Payisokiti pamihi, Wafundwa wakuwi wasokiti kulitanda,
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.
Wakwena mumtumbwi, su waloki kugenda Kafarinaumu. Ntiti iweriti yankwingira na Yesu kaweriti kankali kuwayizira.
18 The sea was tossed by a great wind blowing.
Liyega liweriti lyankuvuma na mawimbi ga mashi gaweriti gakutindira.
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.
Wafundwa pawaweriti wankugenda kutali kwa kilumita muhanu ama sita, wamwoniti Yesu kankugendagenda pamashi, kaweriti pakwegera na mtumbwi, womberi watiriti nentu.
20 But he said to them, “It is I. Do not be afraid.”
Yesu kawagambira, “Namtira, ndo neni!”
21 They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat. Immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.
Su womberi wafiriti kumtola Yesu mumtumbwi na palaa palii mtumbwi gusokiti muisi pahala pawaweriti wankugenda.
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.
Shirawu yakuwi wantu wavuwa wasigaliti uwega gwa pili wa litanda, wavimaniti handa kuweriti na mtumbwi gumu hera palii. Womberi wavimaniti kuwera Yesu hapeni kagendi na wafundwa wakuwi, kumbiti wafundwa wakuwi wagenditi pawamleka Yesu.
23 However, boats from Tiberias came near to the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.
Mitumbwi imonga ilawa Tiberiya isoka pahala lipinga lya wantu pawaliyiti mabumunda, shipindi Mtuwa pakalongiti mayagashii Mlungu.
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.
Su, wantu awa pawavimaniti handa Yesu na wafundwa wakuwi waweriti ndiri pahala paliya, wakwena mtumbwi gumonga wagenda Kafarinaumu pawamsakula.
25 When they found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?”
Wantu walii pawamwoniti Yesu kumwambu kulitanda wamkosiya, “Mfunda, gwiza ndiri panu?”
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.
Yesu kankula, “Nakaka nuwagambirani, mwankunsakula ndiri toziya mumaniti weri liuzauza lilii, kumbiti toziya muliyiti mabumunda galii mwikuta.
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."
Namushitendera lihengu shiboga shashyalibika, kumbiti mushitenderi lihengu shiboga sha ukomu wa mashaka goseri. Ashi ndo shiboga Mwana gwa muntu hakakupanani, toziya Tati Mlungu kamjimira kutenda hangu.” (aiōnios g166)
28 They said therefore to him, “What must we do, that we may work the works of God?”
Womberi wamkosiya, “Tutendi shishi su tutendi vilii vyakafira Mlungu twenga tutendi?”
29 Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.”
Yesu kawankula, “Vintu vyakafira Mlungu ndo mwenga kumjimira ulii yakantumiti.”
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?
Wamgambira, “Hagutendi liuzauza gaa su tuloli tupati kukujimira? Hagutendi shintu gaa?
31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness. As it is written, ‘He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.’”
Wazewi wetu waliyiti shiboga shawashishema Mana kushiwala kulii, gambira Malembu galembwa, Kawayupiti libumunda kulawa kumpindi kwa Mlungu.”
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.
Yesu kawagambira, “Nakaka nuwagambirani, Musa kawayupiti ndiri libumunda kulawa kumpindi kwa Mlungu, Tati gwangu ndo mweni kawapanani mwenga libumunda lya nakaka kulawa kumpindi.
33 For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world.”
Toziya mabumunda ga Mlungu ndo ula ulii kasuluka kulawa kumpindi na kutupanana ukomu wa pasipanu.”
34 They said therefore to him, “Lord, always give us this bread.”
Su, wamgambira, “Mtuwa, gutupi kila lishaka libumunda ali.”
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.
Yesu kawagambira “Neni ndo libumunda lya ukomu. Walii yawiza kwaneni hawawoni ndiri njala, yakanjimira neni hawawoni ndiri kwimiluwa.
36 But I told you that you have seen me, and yet you do not believe.
Nuwagambirani weri kulonga mumona, kumbiti munjimira ndiri.
37 All those whom the Father gives me will come to me. He who comes to me I will in no way throw out.
Woseri ndo weni yakanupa Tati hawizi kwaneni, naneni hapeni numwingi yoseri yakiza kwaneni,
38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
toziya niza kulawa kumpindi kwa Mlungu ira ntendi ndiri vilii vyanfira. Niza kutenda vilii vyakafira ulii yakantumiti.
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.
Uliya yakantumiti kafira aga, nanimwamizili yumu pakati pa walii yakanupiti, ira hanuwazyukusiyi woseri lishaka lya kupelera.
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."
Mana shakafira Tati gwangu ndo ashi, kila yakamwona Mwana na kumjimira kawera na ukomu wa mashaka goseri. Neni hanuwazyukusiyi lishaka lya kupelera.” (aiōnios g166)
41 The Jews therefore murmured concerning him, because he said, “I am the bread which came down out of heaven.”
Su Wayawudi wanjiti kuhinginika kuusu yomberi toziya Yesu katakuliti, “Neni ndo libumunda lilawiti kupindi.”
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’?”
Su womberi watakula, “Hashi, ayu Yesu ndiri mwana gwa Yosefu? Tumumana tati gwakuwi na mawu gwakuwi! Su, kaweza hashi kutakula kalawa kumpindi kwa Mlungu?”
43 Therefore Jesus answered them, “Do not murmur among yourselves.
Yesu kawagambira, “Mleki kuhinginika mwenga kwa mwenga.
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.
Kwahera muntu kawezi kwiza kwaneni mpaka Tati yakantumiti pakamjega kwaneni, naneni hanumzyukisiyi muntu ayu ku ukomu lishaka lya kupelera.
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.
Wambuyi wa Mlungu walembiti, ‘Wantu woseri hawafundwi na Mlungu.’ Kila muntu yakampikanira Tati na kulifunda kwa yomberi kizi kwaneni.
46 Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from God. He has seen the Father.
“Ayi yahera mana handa kamlamu muntu yakamwoniti Tati, payiweri ndiri uliya yakalawiti kwa Mlungu, uliya ndo yomberi yakamwoniti Tati.
47 Most certainly, I tell you, he who believes in me has consummate (aiōnios g166) life.
Nunkugambirani nakaka, yakanjimira kana ukomu wa mashaka goseri. (aiōnios g166)
48 I am the bread of life.
“Neni nalibumunda lya ukomu.
49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and they died.
Wambuyi wenu waliyiti mana kushiwala kulii, kumbiti wahowiti.
50 This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, that anyone may eat of it and not die.
Kumbiti libumunda lyalilawa kumpindi kwa Mlungu su muntu yoseri yakaliya hapeni kahowi.
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."
Neni nalibumunda likomu lyalisulukiti kulawa kumpindi kwa Mlungu. Muntu yoseri yakaliya libumunda ali hakalikali mashaka goseri. Na libumunda lyanumupa yomberi ndo nshimba yaneni, yanuilaviya su wantu wa pasi panu waweri na ukomu.” (aiōn g165)
52 The Jews therefore contended with one another, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
Shapakanu Wayawudi wanjiti kulitakuliziyana nentu pakati pawu, “Kaweza hashi muntu ayu kutupanana nshimba yakuwi, tuliyi?”
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.
Yesu kawagambira, “Nankuwagambirani nakaka, pamuliya ndiri nshimba ya Mwana gwa Muntu na kulanda ndiri mwazi gwakuwi, hapeni muweri na ukomu.
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.
Yakaliya nshimba yaneni na kulanda mwazi gwangu kanawu ukomu wa mashaka goseri, naneni hanumzyukusiyi lishaka lya kupelera. (aiōnios g166)
55 For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
Toziya nshimba yaneni ndo shiboga sha nakaka na mwazi gwangu ndo gwakulanda nakaka.
56 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me, and I in him.
Yakaliya nshimba yaneni na kulanda mwazi gwangu, kenilikali mngati mwangu, naneni nulikali mngati mwakuwi.
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.
“Tati yakawera mkomu yakantumiti neni, toziya naneni nulikali viraa. Ntambu iraayi yoseri yakandiya neni hakalikali toziya yaneni.
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)."
Su, ali ndo libumunda lisulukiti kulawa kumpindi kwa Mlungu, handa ndiri libumunda lyawaliyiti wambuyi wenu. Pawaliyiti kala wahowiti, kumbiti wantu woseri wawaliya libumunda ali hawaweri na ukomu wa mashaka goseri.” (aiōn g165)
59 He said these things in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
Yesu katakuliti aga pakaweriti kankufunda munumba ya Mlungu kulii Kafarinaumu.
60 Therefore many of his disciples, when they heard this, said, “This is a hard saying! Who can listen to it?”
Su wantu wavuwa wafundwa wakuwi pawapikaniriti aga watakula, “Aga ndo mafundu gakamala! Gani kaweza kugapikanira?”
61 But Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said to them, “Does this cause you to stumble?
Yesu kavimaniti pota nakugambirwa na muntu, kulonga wafundwa wakuwi waweriti wankuhiginika kuusu shitwatila ashi, su kawakosiiti, “Hashi, shitwatila ashi shiwatenda muweri ndiri na nakaka?
62 Then what if you would see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?
Haiweri hashi pamumwona Mwana gwa Muntu pakakwena kugenda pahala palii pakaweriti pakwanjira?
63 It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.
Rohu gwa Mlungu ndo yakajega ukomu, nshimba ya muntu hapeni iwezi. Visoweru vyanuwagambirani ndo vya Rohu yakajega ukomu.
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.
Ata hangu wamonga wenu wajimira ndiri.” Yesu kavimaniti kwanjira pakwanjira walii yawajimira ndiri, viraa ndo gaa hakamgalambuki.
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.”
Yesu kongeriti katakula kayi, “Ayi ndo toziya nuwagambiriti kulonga kwahera muntu yakaweza kwiza kwaneni pakawezeshwa ndiri na Tati gwangu.”
66 At this, many of his disciples went back and walked no more with him.
Toziya ya aga, wamonga wavuwa wafundwa wa Yesu wawuyiti na waleka kumfata kayi.
67 Jesus said therefore to the twelve, “You do not also want to go away, do you?”
Su, Yesu kawakosiiti wantumintumi walii lilongu na wawili, “Hashi, mwenga, mfira kuwuya kwenu?”
68 Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of consummate (aiōnios g166) life.
Simoni Peteru kamwankula, “Mtuwa, tugendi kwa gaa? Gwenga gwana visoweru vya ukomu wa mashaka goseri. (aiōnios g166)
69 We have come to believe and know that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Twenga tujimira vinu na tuvimana gwenga gwa Mnanagala yakiza kulawa kwa Mlungu.”
70 Jesus answered them, “Did not I choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?”
Yesu kawankula, “Hashi nuwasyagula ndiri mwenga lilongu na wawili? Ata hangu, yumu gwenu ndo Shetani!”
71 Now he spoke of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, for it was he who would betray him, being one of the twelve.
Yesu katakuliti aga kuusu Yuda, mwana gwa Simoni Isikariyoti, Yuda kaweriti yumu gwa wafundwa wakuwi kumbuti ndo hakamgalambuki Yesu.
