John 6
1 After this, Jesus crossed to the other side of the Sea of Galilee (that is, the Sea of Tiberias).
Morago ga mo, Jesu a kgabaganya Lewatle la Galalea, le le itsegeng gape ka leina la Tiberia.
2 A large crowd followed Him because they saw the signs He was performing on the sick.
Mme bontsi jo bogolo jwa batho, jo bontsi jwa bone e neng e le batsamai ba ya Jerusalema kwa moletlong wa Tlolaganyo, ba bo ba mo setse mo-rago gongwe le gongwe kwa a yang teng, go mmona a fodisa balwetse. Mme erile Jesu a sena go tlha-tlogela mo thabeng a nna fa fatshe, barutwa ba gagwe ba mo dikaganyeditse, mme a tloga a bona bontsi jo bogolo jwa batho bo tlhatloga thaba bo mo senka. Hong a retologela kwa go Filipo a mo raya a re, “Filipo, re ka reka senkgwe kae go fa batho ba botlhe?”
3 Then Jesus went up on the mountain and sat down with His disciples.
4 Now the Jewish Feast of the Passover was near.
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?”
6 But He was asking this to test him, for He knew what He was about to do.
(O ne a leka Filipo, gonne o ne a setse a itse se a neng a ya go se dira).
7 Philip answered, “Two hundred denarii would not buy enough bread for each of them to have a small piece.”
Filipo a fetola a re, “Go tlaa lopa madi a mantsi thata go simolola go dira jalo!”
8 One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to Him,
Mme Anderea, monnaa Simone Petoro, a bua a re, “Go na le mosimanyana fano yo o tshotseng dinkgwe tsa korong di le tlhano le ditlhapi di le pedi! Mme go ka thusang fa batho ba le bantsi jaana?”
9 “Here is a boy with five barley loaves and two small fish. But what difference will these make among so many?”
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.
Mme Jesu a ba raya a re, “Rayang mongwe le mongwe a nne fa fatshe,” mme botlhe fela ba nna fa fatshe mo bojannye, mme palo ya banna ba le bosi e ne e ka nna dikete di le tlhano.
11 Then Jesus took the loaves and the fish, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted.
Hong Jesu a tsaya dinkgwe, a di lebogela, a di naya batho. Morago ga moo a dira fela jalo ka ditlhapi. Mme mongwe le mongwe a ja a kgora!
12 And when everyone was full, He said to His disciples, “Gather the pieces that are left over, so that nothing will be wasted.”
Mme Jesu a ba raya a re, “Kokoanyang masalela, gore le fa e le sepe se seka sa latlhwa.”
13 So they collected them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten.
Mme diroto di le lesome le bobedi tsa tlala masalela ao!
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.”
Erile fa batho ba lemoga kgakgamatso e tona tona eo e e diragetseng, ba bua ka kgakgamalo ba re, “Ammaaruri, ke mopopofiti yo re ntseng re mo solofetse!”
15 Then Jesus, realizing that they were about to come and make Him king by force, withdrew again to a mountain by Himself.
Mme erile ka go bua jalo, Jesu a bona gore ba ipaakanyeditse go mo tsaya ka pateletso go mo dira kgosi ya bone, hong a tlhatlogela kwa godimo mo dithabeng a le nosi.
16 When evening came, His disciples went down to the sea,
Mo maabanyaneng ao barutwa ba gagwe ba fologela kwa lotshitshing go mo emela teng.
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.
Mme erile go nna lefifi Jesu a ise a tle, ba tsena mo mokorong ba kgabaganya lewatle go ya Kaperenama.
18 A strong wind was blowing, and the sea grew agitated.
Mme ka bofefo ga tsoga phefo e kgolo thata mo lewatleng, ya ba tsubutletsa le mokoro o ba neng ba o kgweetsa, le lewatle la rwalelesega. Mme le fa go ntse jalo, erile ba ka ne ba tsamaile bommaele ba le bararo kgotsa ba le bane, ka tshoganetso ba bona Jesu a tsamaela ntlheng ya mokoro! Mme ba tshoga thata,
19 When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the sea—and they were terrified.
20 But Jesus spoke up: “It is I; do not be afraid.”
mme a ba bitsa a re se boifeng.
21 Then they were willing to take Him into the boat, and at once the boat reached the shore where they were heading.
Mme ba eletsa go mo tseela mo teng, mme ka bofefo mokoro wa goroga kwa ba neng ba ya teng!
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.
Mme ya re mo mosong o o latelang, morago ga ba kgabaganya lecha, bontsintsi jwa batho jwa simolola go phuthaganela mo lotshitshing (bo emetse go bona Jesu). Gonne ba ne ba itse gore barutwa ba ne ba tsamaile ka mokoro wa bone ba mo tlogela kwa morago. Mekoro e mennye e le mentsinyana e e tswang kwa Tiberia e ne e le gautshwane,
23 However, some boats from Tiberias landed near the place where the people had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.
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.
mme erile batho ba bona gore Jesu o ne a seyo foo, le fa e le barutwa ba gagwe, ba tsena mo mekorong ba kgabaganyetsa kwa Kaperenama go ya go mo senka teng.
25 When they found Him on the other side of the sea, they asked Him, “Rabbi, when did You get here?”
Erile fa ba goroga ba mmona ba re, “Morena o tsile fano jang?”
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.
Jesu a ba fetola a ba raya a re, “Boammaaruri jwa potso ya lona ke gore lo batla go nna le nna gonne ke lo file dijo, e seng ka ntlha ya gore lo dumela mo go nna.
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)
Jalo he, ga lo a tshwanela go baya mo dilong tse di nyelelang jaaka dijo. Nnyaa, dirisang nonofo ya lona ka go batla botshelo jo bo sa khutleng jo nna Morwa Motho ke ka bo lo nayang. Gonne Modimo Rara o nthomile gone go dira jalo.” (aiōnios g166)
28 Then they inquired, “What must we do to perform the works of God?”
Mme ba mo fetola ba re, “Re tshwanetse go dira eng go itumedisa Modimo?”
29 Jesus replied, “The work of God is this: to believe in the One He has sent.”
Jesu a ba raya a re, “Go rata ga Modimo ke gore lo dumele mo go yo o mo romileng.”
30 So they asked Him, “What sign then will You perform, so that we may see it and believe You? What will You do?
Ba fetola ba re, “O tshwanetse go re bontsha dikgakgamatso tse dingwe fa o batla gore re dumele gore o Mesia. Re fe dijo mahala malatsi otlhe, jaaka borraa rona ba ne ba di fiwa fa ba tsamaya ba raletse sekaka! Fela jaaka dikwalo di re, ‘Moshe o ba neetse senkgwe se se tswang legodimong’.”
31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, as it is written: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’”
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.
Jesu a ba raya a re, “Moshe ga a ise a ke a se ba neele. Rre ke ene yo a neng a se ba naya. Mme jaanong o lo fa senkgwe sa boammaaruri se se tswang legodimong.
33 For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
Senkgwe sa boammaaruri ke Motho, yo o romilweng ke Modimo a tswa legodimong, mme ene o neela lefatshe botshelo.”
34 “Sir,” they said, “give us this bread at all times.”
Mme ba mo raya ba re, “Morena, re nnele senkgwe se mo matshelong a rona malatsi otlhe!”
35 Jesus answered, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to Me will never hunger, and whoever believes in Me will never thirst.
Mme Jesu a re, “Ke nna Senkgwe sa Botshelo. Ga go na ope yo o tlang kwa go nna yo o tlaa tlholang a bolawa ke tlala gape. Ba ba dumelang mo go nna ga ba kitla ba tlhola ba nyorwa.
36 But as I stated, you have seen Me and still you do not believe.
Mme molato fela ke gore, jaaka ke lo boleletse pele, ga lo dumele le fa tota lo mponye.
37 Everyone the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will never drive away.
Mme bangwe ba Rara a ba nneileng ba tlaa tla kwa go nna mme ga nkitla ke ba gana.
38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but to do the will of Him who sent Me.
Gonne ke tsile fano ke tswa legodimong go tla go dira go rata ga Modimo o o nthomileng, e seng go rata ga me.
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.
Mme mo ke go rata ga Modimo go re, ‘Ke seka ka latlhegelwa le fa e le ke a le mongwe fela mo go botlhe ba o ba nneileng, mme e leng gore ke ba tsosetse botshelong jo bo sa khutleng ka Letsatsi la Bofelo.’
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)
Gonne ke go rata ga ga Rre gore mongwe le mongwe yo o bonang Morwawe a ba a dumela mo go ene o tshwanetse go nna le botshelo jo bo sa khutleng, gore ke tle ke mo tsose ka Letsatsi la Bofelo.” (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.”
Hong Bajuta ba simolola go mo ngongoregela, gonne a re ke Senkgwe se se tswang legodimong.
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?’”
Ba hakgamala ba re, “A reng? Gonne re mo itse e le Jesu fela, morwa Josefa yo rraagwe le mmaagwe re ba itseng. O rayang fa a re o fologile kwa legodimong?”
43 “Stop grumbling among yourselves,” Jesus replied.
Mme Jesu a fetola a re, “Se ngongoregeng ka ntlha ya go bua ga me jalo.
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.
Gonne ga go ope yo o ka tlang kwa go nna fa e se Rara yo o nthomileng a mo gogela kwa go nna, mme ka Letsatsi la Bofelo ke tlaa mo tsosa.
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—
Jaaka go kwadilwe mo Dikwalong, ‘Botlhe ba tlaa rutwa ke Modimo.’ Ba Rara o buang nabo, ba ba ithutang boammaaruri mo go ene, ba tlaa tla kwa go nna.
46 not that anyone has seen the Father except the One who is from God; only He has seen the Father.
(Ga go ope yo o bonyeng Rara, ke nna fela yo ke mmonyeng).
“Ke bua ka go gatelela ke re, le fa e le mang yo o dumelang mo go nna o setse a na le botshelo jo bo sa khutleng! (aiōnios g166)
48 I am the bread of life.
Ee, ke senkgwe sa botshelo.
49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died.
Go ne go sena botshelo bope mo senkgweng se, se se neng se tswa mo loaping, se se neng sa neelwa borraeno mo sekakeng, gonne botlhe ba ne ba a swa.
50 This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that anyone may eat of it and not die.
Mme go na le senkgwe tota se se tswang legodimong se se nayang mongwe le mongwe yo o se jang botshelo jo bo sa khutleng.
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)
Mme ke sone senkgwe seo se se tshelang se se fologileng kwa Legodimong. Le fa e le mang yo o jang senkgwe se o tlaa tshelela ruri; mmele wa me ke sone senkgwe se, se ntsheditswe go golola batho.” (aiōn g165)
52 At this, the Jews began to argue among themselves, “How can this man give us His flesh to eat?”
Hong Bajuta ba simolola go ganetsanya kaga se a se rayang. Ba re, “Monna yo o ka re naya nama ya gagwe gore re e je?”
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.
Hong Jesu a ipoeletsa a re, “Ka tlhomamiso yotlhe e ke nang nayo ke lo raya, ke re: fa lo sa je nama ya Morwa Motho lo bo lo nwa madi a gagwe, ga lo ka ke lwa nna le botshelo jo bo sa khutleng mo go lona.
54 Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. (aiōnios g166)
Mme le fa e le mang yo o jang nama ya me a ba a a nwa le madi a me, o na le botshelo jo bo sa khutleng, mme ke tlaa mo tsosa ka Letsatsi la Bofelo. (aiōnios g166)
55 For My flesh is real food, and My blood is real drink.
Gonne nama ya me ke dijo tsa boammaaruri, le madi ke seno sa boammaaruri.
56 Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood remains in Me, and I in him.
“Mongwe le mongwe yo o jang nama ya me a ba a a nwa madi a me o mo go nna, le nna ke mo go ene.
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.
Ke tshela ka nonofo ya ga Rara yo o tshelang yo o nthomileng, mme fela jalo ba ba njang le bone ba tlaa tshela ka ntlha ya me!
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)
Ke Senkgwe sa boammaaruri se se tswang legodimong; mme le fa e le mang yo o jang Senkgwe se, o tlaa tshelela ruri, a sa swe jaaka borraeno ba ne ba a swa, le fa ba ne ba jele senkgwe se se tswang legodimong.” (aiōn g165)
59 Jesus said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.
(A rera thero e mo ntlung ya thuto mo Kaperenama).
60 On hearing it, many of His disciples said, “This is a difficult teaching. Who can accept it?”
Le barutwa ba gagwe tota ba re, “Golo mo go thata go tlhaloganngwa. Ke mang yo o ka thalosang se a se rayang?”
61 Aware that His disciples were grumbling about this teaching, Jesus asked them, “Does this offend you?
Jesu a itse mo pelong ya gagwe gore barutwa ba gagwe ba ne ba ngongorega mme a ba raya a re, “A golo mo go a lo kgopisa?
62 Then what will happen if you see the Son of Man ascend to where He was before?
Mme lo tlaa akanya eng fa lo mpona, Morwa Motho, ke boela kwa legodimong gape?
63 The Spirit gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life.
Mowa O O Boitshepo ke one fela o o nayang botshelo jo bo sa khutleng. Ba ba tsetsweng gangwe fela ka tsalo ya senama, ga ba kitla ba amogela mpho e. Mme jaanong ke lo boleletse ka fa lo ka nnang le botshelo jo jwa semowa ka teng.
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.)
Mme bangwe ba lona ga ba ntumele.” (Gonne Jesu o ne a sale a itse kwa tshimologong ba ba neng ba sa dumele le yo o tlaa mo okang).
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.”
Mme a re, “Ke sone se ke neng ke se raya fa ke re ga go na ope yo o ka tlang kwa go nna fa e se Rara a mo lere kwa go nna.”
66 From that time on many of His disciples turned back and no longer walked with Him.
Erile fela gone foo barutwa ba gagwe ba le bantsintsi ba mo furalela ba mo tlogela.
67 So Jesus asked the Twelve, “Do you want to leave too?”
Mme Jesu a retologela kwa go ba ba lesome le bobedi a ba botsa a re, “A le lona lo a tsamaya?”
68 Simon Peter replied, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Mme Simone Petoro a fetola a re, “Morena, re ka ya kwa go mang? Ke wena fela o le esi yo o nang le mafoko a a nayang botshelo jo bosakhutleng, (aiōnios g166)
69 We believe and know that You are the Holy One of God.”
jalo he re a dumela ebile re itse gore o Morwa Modimo o o boitshepo.”
70 Jesus answered them, “Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil!”
Hong Jesu a re, “Ke tlhophile ba le lesome le bobedi ba lona, mme a le esi ke diabolo.”
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.
(O ne a bua ka ga Judase, Morwa Simone Isekariota, mongwe wa ba ba lesome le bobedi, yo o tlaa mo okang).
