John 6
1 After this, Jesus crossed to the other side of the Sea of Galilee (that is, the Sea of Tiberias).
Mgbe nke a gasịrị, Jisọs gafere nʼofe nke ọzọ nke osimiri Galili (nke a na-akpọkwa osimiri Tiberịas).
2 A large crowd followed Him because they saw the signs He was performing on the sick.
Oke igwe mmadụ sooro ya, nʼihi na ha hụrụ ọrụ ebube ọ na-arụ nʼahụ ndị ọrịa.
3 Then Jesus went up on the mountain and sat down with His disciples.
Jisọs rigooro nʼelu ugwu nọdụ ala ya na ndị na-eso ụzọ ya.
4 Now the Jewish Feast of the Passover was near.
Nʼoge a, mmemme oriri Ngabiga ndị Juu na-abịa nso.
5 When Jesus looked up and saw a large crowd coming toward Him, He said to Philip, “Where can we buy bread for these people to 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 But He was asking this to test him, for He knew what He was about to do.
Ọ jụrụ nke a naanị iji nwalee ya, ya onwe ya mararị ihe ọ ga-eme.
7 Philip answered, “Two hundred denarii would not buy enough bread for each of them to have a small piece.”
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 “Here is a boy with five barley loaves and two small fish. But what difference will these make 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 “Have the people sit down,” Jesus said. Now there was plenty of grass in that place, so the men sat down, about five thousand of them.
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 Then Jesus took the loaves and the fish, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted.
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 And when everyone was full, He said to His disciples, “Gather the pieces that are left over, so that nothing will be wasted.”
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 collected them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves 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 the people saw the sign that Jesus had performed, they began to say, “Truly this is the Prophet who is to come 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 Then Jesus, realizing that they were about to come and make Him king by force, withdrew again to a 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 got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was already dark, and Jesus had not yet gone out to them.
ebe ha banyere nʼotu ụgbọ mmiri, malite ịgabiga osimiri gawa nʼofe Kapanọm. Nʼoge a ọchịchịrị agbaala ma Jisọs alọghachikwutebeghị ha.
18 A strong wind was blowing, and the sea grew agitated.
Ebili mmiri maliri elu nʼihi nʼoke ifufe bidoro na-efe.
19 When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the sea—and they were terrified.
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 Jesus spoke up: “It is I; do not be afraid.”
Ma ọ sịrị ha, “Unu atụla egwu. Ọ bụ m.”
21 Then they were willing to take Him into the boat, and at once the boat reached the shore where they were heading.
Mgbe ahụ, ha nabatara ya nʼime ụgbọ ahụ, ọ dịkwaghị anya ụgbọ ha bịaruru nʼelu ala ebe ha na-aga.
22 The next day, the crowd that had remained on the other side of the sea realized that only one boat had been there, and that Jesus had not boarded it with His disciples, but they 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, some boats from Tiberias landed near the place where the people had eaten 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 So when the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor His disciples were there, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum to look for Him.
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 get here?”
Mgbe ha hụrụ ya nʼofe ọzọ nke osimiri ahụ, ha sịrị ya, “Onye ozizi, olee mgbe i jiri bịa nʼebe a?”
26 Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, it is not because you saw these signs that you are looking for Me, but because you ate the loaves and had your fill.
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 food that perishes, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on Him God the Father has placed His seal of approval.” (aiōnios g166)
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 Then they inquired, “What must we do to perform the works of God?”
Mgbe ahụ, ha sịrị, “Gịnị ka anyị ga-eme iji rụọ ọrụ Chineke?”
29 Jesus replied, “The work of God is this: to believe in the One He has sent.”
Jisọs zara sị ha, “Ọrụ Chineke bụ nke a, ikwere nʼonye ahụ o zitere.”
30 So they asked Him, “What sign then will You perform, so that we may see it and believe You? What will 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 from 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 said to them, “Truly, truly, I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread from 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 He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
Nʼihi na achịcha Chineke bụ nke ahụ si nʼeluigwe rịdata, na-enyekwa ụwa ndụ.”
34 “Sir,” they said, “give us this bread at all times.”
Ha sịrị ya, “Nna anyị ukwu, nye anyị ụdị achịcha a site ugbu a gawa.”
35 Jesus answered, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to Me will never hunger, and whoever believes in Me will never thirst.
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 as I stated, you have seen Me and still you do not believe.
Ma agwa m unu, unu ahụla m ma unu ekweghịkwa.
37 Everyone the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will never drive away.
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 to do 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 And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall lose none of those He has given Me, but raise them 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 For it is My Father’s will that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.” (aiōnios g166)
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 At this, the Jews began to grumble about Jesus because He had said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.”
Nʼihi nke a, ndị Juu bidoro itamu ntamu megide ya nʼihi na ọ sịrị, “Abụ m achịcha ahụ siri nʼeluigwe rịdata.”
42 They were asking, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then can He say, ‘I have come down from 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 “Stop grumbling among yourselves,” Jesus replied.
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 at 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: ‘And they will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from Him 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 the One who is from God; only 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, yet they died.
Nna nna unu ha riri mánà ahụ nʼime ọzara ma mecha nwụọ.
50 This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so 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 that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And this bread, which I will give for the life of the world, is My flesh.” (aiōn g165)
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 At this, the Jews began to argue among themselves, “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 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of Man, you have no life in you.
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 Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. (aiōnios g166)
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 real food, and My blood is real drink.
Nʼihi na anụ ahụ m bụ ezigbo nri, ọbara m bụkwa ezigbo ihe ọṅụṅụ.
56 Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood remains 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 Just as the living Father sent Me and I live because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on Me will 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 that came down from heaven. Unlike your fathers, who ate the manna and died, the one who eats this bread will live forever.” (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 Jesus said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.
O kwuru ihe ndị a mgbe ọ na-akụzi ihe nʼụlọ ekpere dị na Kapanọm.
60 On hearing it, many of His disciples said, “This is a difficult teaching. Who can accept 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 Aware that His disciples were grumbling about this teaching, Jesus asked them, “Does this offend you?
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 will happen if you see the Son of Man ascend 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 The Spirit gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life.
Ọ bụ Mmụọ ahụ na-enye ndụ; anụ ahụ abaghị uru ọbụla, okwu ndị m gwara unu bụ mmụọ bụrụkwa ndụ.
64 However, there are some of you who do not believe.” (For Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and 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 Then Jesus said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to Me unless the Father has granted it to him.”
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 From that time on many of His disciples turned back and no longer walked with Him.
Nʼihi nke a, ọtụtụ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya laghachiri azụ, kwụsị iso ya.
67 So Jesus asked the Twelve, “Do you want to leave too?”
Jisọs sịrị mmadụ iri na abụọ ahụ, “Unu chọkwara iso ha pụọ?”
68 Simon Peter replied, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
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 believe and know that You are the Holy One of God.”
Anyị kweere marakwa na ị bụ Onye Nsọ nke Chineke.”
70 Jesus answered them, “Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? Yet 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 He was speaking about Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. For although Judas was one of the Twelve, he was later to betray Jesus.
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.
