John 6
1 After this, Jesus crossed to the other side of the Sea of Galilee (that is, the Sea of Tiberias).
Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo, Yesu n’asomoka ennyanja ey’e Ggaliraaya, era eyitibwa ey’e Tiberiya.
2 A large crowd followed Him because they saw the signs He was performing on the sick.
Ekibiina ky’abantu kinene ne bamugoberera, kubanga baalaba ebyamagero bye yakola ng’awonya abalwadde.
3 Then Jesus went up on the mountain and sat down with His disciples.
Awo Yesu n’alinnya ku lusozi n’atuula wansi n’abayigirizwa be.
4 Now the Jewish Feast of the Passover was near.
Embaga y’Abayudaaya eyitibwa Okuyitako yali eri kumpi okutuuka.
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?”
Yesu bwe yayimusa amaaso n’alaba ekibiina ky’abantu ekinene, nga bajja gy’ali, n’agamba Firipo nti, “Tunaagula wa emmere okuliisa abantu abo bonna?”
6 But He was asking this to test him, for He knew what He was about to do.
Yayogera atyo kugezesa Firipo, kubanga Yesu yali amanyi ky’agenda okukola.
7 Philip answered, “Two hundred denarii would not buy enough bread for each of them to have a small piece.”
Firipo n’amuddamu nti, “Emmere egula eddinaali ebikumi ebibiri teesobole na kubabuna, buli omu okulyako akatono.”
8 One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to Him,
Awo omu ku bayigirizwa be, Andereya muganda wa Simooni Peetero, n’amugamba nti,
9 “Here is a boy with five barley loaves and two small fish. But what difference will these make among so many?”
“Wano waliwo omulenzi alina emigaati etaano egya sayiri, n’ebyennyanja bibiri. Naye bino binaagasa ki abantu abangi bwe bati?”
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.
Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Mutuuze abantu.” Waaliwo omuddo mungi mu kifo ekyo. Awo abantu ne batuula, ne baba abasajja ng’enkumi ttaano.
11 Then Jesus took the loaves and the fish, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted.
Awo Yesu n’atoola emigaati ne yeebaza Katonda, n’agabula abantu abatudde. N’ebyennyanja n’akola bw’atyo. Bonna ne balya ne bakkuta.
12 And when everyone was full, He said to His disciples, “Gather the pieces that are left over, so that nothing will be wasted.”
Oluvannyuma Yesu n’agamba abayigirizwa be nti, “Kale mukuŋŋaanye obutundutundu obusigaddewo tuleme kufiirwa.”
13 So they collected them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten.
Ne babukuŋŋaanya, ne bajjuza ebisero kkumi na bibiri eby’obutundutundu obwava mu migaati etaano egya sayiri, obwasigalawo nga bamaze okulya.
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.”
Abantu bwe baalaba ekyamagero Yesu kye yakola ne bagamba nti, “Ddala ono ye Nnabbi oli alindirirwa okujja mu nsi!”
15 Then Jesus, realizing that they were about to come and make Him king by force, withdrew again to a mountain by Himself.
Yesu bwe yategeera nti bategeka okumukwata bamufuule kabaka waabwe n’addayo yekka ku lusozi.
16 When evening came, His disciples went down to the sea,
Obudde bwe bwawungeera abayigirizwa ba Yesu ne baserengeta ku nnyanja
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.
ne basaabala mu lyato ne boolekera Kaperunawumu. N’obudde bwali buzibye nga ne Yesu tannaba kutuuka gye bali.
18 A strong wind was blowing, and the sea grew agitated.
Awo omuyaga ne gukunta mungi, ennyanja n’esiikuuka.
19 When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the sea—and they were terrified.
Bwe baavugako kilomita nga ttaano oba mukaaga, ne balaba Yesu ng’atambulira ku mazzi, ng’asemberera eryato, ne batya.
20 But Jesus spoke up: “It is I; do not be afraid.”
Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Ye Nze, temutya!”
21 Then they were willing to take Him into the boat, and at once the boat reached the shore where they were heading.
Ne baagala okumuyingiza mu lyato, amangwago eryato ne ligoba ku ttale gye baali bagenda.
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.
Ku lunaku olwaddirira, ekibiina ky’abantu abaasigala emitala w’eri, ne balabawo eryato limu lyokka, ne bamanya ng’abayigirizwa be baawunguka bokka mu lyato.
23 However, some boats from Tiberias landed near the place where the people had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.
Kyokka amaato ne gava e Tiberiya ne gagoba awo kumpi n’ekifo abantu we baaliira emigaati Yesu gye yabawa ng’amaze okwebaza.
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.
Awo abantu bwe baalaba nga Yesu taliiwo wadde abayigirizwa be, ne bakwata amaato ne bawunguka ne batuuka e Kaperunawumu nga banoonya Yesu.
25 When they found Him on the other side of the sea, they asked Him, “Rabbi, when did You get here?”
Bwe baamulaba emitala w’ennyanja ne bamubuuza nti, “Labbi, watuuse ddi wano?”
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.
Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Ddala ddala mbagamba nti munnoonya si lwa kubanga mwalaba obubonero, naye lwa kubanga mwalya emigaati ne mukkuta.
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)
Temukolerera mmere eggwaawo, wabula munoonye emmere ebeerera era etuusa mu bulamu obutaggwaawo, Omwana w’Omuntu gy’alibawa, kubanga Kitaawe w’Omwana amussizaako akabonero.” (aiōnios g166)
28 Then they inquired, “What must we do to perform the works of God?”
Awo ne bamubuuza nti, “Tukole ki okutuukiriza ekyo Katonda ky’ayagala?”
29 Jesus replied, “The work of God is this: to believe in the One He has sent.”
Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Katonda ky’ayagala mukole kwe kukkiriza oyo gwe yatuma.”
30 So they asked Him, “What sign then will You perform, so that we may see it and believe You? What will You do?
Ne bamugamba nti, “Kale kabonero ki ggwe k’okola, tulabe tukukkirize? Onookola kabonero ki?
31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, as it is written: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’”
Bajjajjaffe baalya emmaanu mu ddungu nga bwe kyawandiikibwa nti, ‘Yabawa emmere okuva mu ggulu balye.’”
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.
Awo Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Ddala ddala mbagamba nti Musa si ye yabawa emmere eva mu ggulu, wabula Kitange ye yabawa emmere ey’amazima eva mu ggulu.
33 For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
Emmere ya Katonda ye eva mu ggulu, era ye awa ensi obulamu.”
34 “Sir,” they said, “give us this bread at all times.”
Ne bamugamba nti, “Mukama waffe, tuwenga emmere eyo buli lunaku.”
35 Jesus answered, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to Me will never hunger, and whoever believes in Me will never thirst.
Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Nze mmere ey’obulamu. Ajja gye ndi enjala teriddayo kumuluma, era abo abanzikiriza tebaliddayo kulumwa nnyonta.
36 But as I stated, you have seen Me and still you do not believe.
Naye nabagamba nti mundabye naye era ne mutanzikiriza.
37 Everyone the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will never drive away.
Buli muntu Kitange gw’ampa alijja gye ndi, era buli ajja gye ndi sirimugobera bweru.
38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but to do the will of Him who sent Me.
Kubanga ekyanzigya mu ggulu kwe kukola ekyo Katonda eyantuma ky’ayagala, so si Nze bye njagala ku bwange.
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.
Eyantuma ky’ayagala kye kino: Ku abo be yampa nneme kubulwako n’omu wabula bonna mbazuukize ku lunaku olw’enkomerero.
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)
Kubanga Kitange ky’ayagala kye kino nti buli alaba Omwana we n’amukkiriza afuna obulamu obutaggwaawo ku lunaku olw’enkomerero.” (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.”
Awo Abayudaaya ne batandika okwemulugunyiza Yesu, kubanga yabagamba nti, “Nze mmere eyava mu ggulu.”
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?’”
Ne bagamba nti, “Ono si ye Yesu omwana wa Yusufu? Kitaawe ne nnyina tubamanyi. Kale ayinza atya okugamba nti, ‘Nava mu ggulu?’”
43 “Stop grumbling among yourselves,” Jesus replied.
Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Temwemulugunya.
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.
Tewali ayinza kujja gye ndi wabula nga Kitange eyantuma amuyise, era Nze ndimuzuukiza ku lunaku olw’enkomerero.
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—
Kubanga kyawandiikibwa mu bannabbi nti, ‘Bonna baliyigirizibwa Katonda.’ Era buli gw’ayigiriza n’ategeera amazima ajja gye ndi.
46 not that anyone has seen the Father except the One who is from God; only He has seen the Father.
Si kuba nti waliwo eyali alabye ku Kitange, wabula oyo eyava eri Katonda, ye yalaba Kitaawe.
Ddala ddala mbagamba nti, Akkiriza aba n’obulamu obutaggwaawo! (aiōnios g166)
48 I am the bread of life.
Nze mmere ey’obulamu.
49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died.
Bajjajjammwe baalya emaanu mu ddungu ne bafa.
50 This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that anyone may eat of it and not die.
Eno y’emmere eyava mu ggulu, buli agiryako aleme okufa.
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)
Nze mmere ennamu eyava mu ggulu omuntu bw’alya ku mmere eno aliba mulamu emirembe n’emirembe. Emmere gye ndigaba okuleetera ensi obulamu, gwe mubiri gwange.” (aiōn g165)
52 At this, the Jews began to argue among themselves, “How can this man give us His flesh to eat?”
Awo Abayudaaya ne batandika okuwakana bokka na bokka nga bagamba nti, “Ono ayinza atya okutuwa omubiri gwe okugulya?”
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.
Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Ddala ddala mbagamba nti bwe mutalya mubiri gwa Mwana wa Muntu, ne munywa n’omusaayi gwe, temuyinza kuba na bulamu mu mmwe.
54 Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. (aiōnios g166)
Buli alya omubiri gwange n’anywa n’omusaayi gwange, ng’afunye obulamu obutaggwaawo era ndimuzuukiza ku lunaku olw’enkomerero. (aiōnios g166)
55 For My flesh is real food, and My blood is real drink.
Kubanga omubiri gwange kye kyokulya ddala n’omusaayi gwange kye kyokunywa ddala.
56 Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood remains in Me, and I in him.
Oyo alya ku mubiri gwange era n’anywa omusaayi gwange abeera mu nze, era nange mbeera mu ye.
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.
Nga Kitange eyantuma bw’ali omulamu, nange bwe ndi omulamu ku bwa Kitange, noolwekyo oyo alya ku nze naye aliba mulamu ku bwange.
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)
Eno ye mmere eva mu ggulu. Teri ng’eyo bajjajjammwe gye baalya ne bafa. Alya emmere eno anaabanga mulamu emirembe n’emirembe.” (aiōn g165)
59 Jesus said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.
Ebyo Yesu yabyogera ng’ayigiriza mu kkuŋŋaaniro e Kaperunawumu.
60 On hearing it, many of His disciples said, “This is a difficult teaching. Who can accept it?”
Abayigirizwa ba Yesu bangi bwe baabiwulira ne bagamba nti, “Ekigambo ekyo kizibu okutegeera. Ani asobola okutunnyonnyola ky’agamba?”
61 Aware that His disciples were grumbling about this teaching, Jesus asked them, “Does this offend you?
Awo Yesu bwe yategeera nga n’abayigirizwa be bakyemulugunyako, n’abagamba nti, “Ekyo kibeesittaza?
62 Then what will happen if you see the Son of Man ascend to where He was before?
Kale mulirowooza ki bwe muliraba Omwana w’Omuntu ng’addayo gye yava?
63 The Spirit gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life.
Mwoyo Mutukuvu y’awa obulamu. Omubiri teguliiko kye gugasa. Ebigambo bye njogedde gye muli gwe mwoyo era bwe bulamu.
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.)
Naye era abamu ku mmwe temukkiriza.” Kubanga okuva ku lubereberye Yesu yategeera abatamukkiriza era n’oyo agenda okumulyamu olukwe.
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.”
Awo n’agamba nti, “Kyennava ŋŋamba nti tewali ayinza kujja gye ndi bw’atakiweebwa Kitange.”
66 From that time on many of His disciples turned back and no longer walked with Him.
Okuva olwo bangi ku bayigirizwa be ne bamuvaako ne bataddayo kuyita naye.
67 So Jesus asked the Twelve, “Do you want to leave too?”
Awo Yesu n’akyukira abayigirizwa be ekkumi n’ababiri n’ababuuza nti, “Nammwe mwagala kugenda?”
68 Simon Peter replied, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Simooni Peetero n’amuddamu nti, “Mukama waffe, tunaagenda eri ani? Ggwe wekka gw’olina ebigambo by’obulamu obutaggwaawo. (aiōnios g166)
69 We believe and know that You are the Holy One of God.”
Ffe tubikkiriza era tumanyi nti oli Mutukuvu wa Katonda.”
70 Jesus answered them, “Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil!”
Awo Yesu kwe kubagamba nti, “Mmwe ekkumi n’ababiri si nze nabalonda? Naye omu ku mmwe Setaani!”
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.
Yesu yayogera ku Yuda, mutabani wa Simooni Isukalyoti, kubanga ye yali agenda okumulyamu olukwe.
