John 6
1 After this, Jesus left to go to the other side of the Sea of Galilee (also known as the Sea of Tiberias).
Acunkäna, Jesuh Kalile Tuili, Tiberi Tuili pi ngmingnaki, a caye kama citki.
2 A large crowd was following him, for they'd seen his miracles of healing.
Am phetkie a jah mdaw bea müncanksee hmukie khyangpänu naw läk hükie.
3 Jesus went up a hill and sat down there with his disciples.
Jesuh mcunga kai lü acuia axüisaw he am ngaw yümkie.
4 The time for the Jewish festival of the Passover was approaching.
Judahea Lätnak Pawi cun cäh law betüki.
5 When Jesus looked up, and saw a large crowd coming towards him, he asked Philip, “Where can we buy enough bread to feed all these people?”
Jesuh naw mang hü lü khyang aktäkpai a veia lawkie a jah hmuh. Philip üng, “Hinea ei khyawh vai, hawia mi khei khai ni?” ti lü a kthäh.
6 He only asked this to see how Philip would respond, because Jesus already knew what he was going to do.
(I pawh vai cun a ksing päng kyaw, Philip a mhnütnaka a pyena kyaki.)
7 “Two hundred silver coins wouldn't buy enough bread to give everyone even just a little,” Philip replied.
Philip naw, “Nguikcang phyanghngih am kheih muk ta, hine naw apica cim ei u sepi am khäk khai ni,” a ti.
8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, spoke up.
Axüisaw üngka mat, Sihmon Pitaa na Andru naw,
9 “There's a boy here who has five barley loaves and a couple of fish, but what good is that when there are so many people?”
“Hia kpamica hnasen mat naw kyung muk mhma ja ngaca nghngih taki ve ve. Acunüng pi khyang hikäna phäh am khäk hlü ve?” ti lü a pyen.
10 “Have everybody sit down,” Jesus said. There was plenty of grass there, so they all sat down, the men numbering around five thousand.
Jesuh naw, “Jah ngawhsak ua,” a ti. (Acuna hnün cun msai aktäa sahki.) Khyang avan ngawkie, kpami däk thawngmhma lawkie.
11 Jesus took the bread, gave thanks, and had it handed out to the people as they sat there. Then he did the same with the fishes, making sure the people had as much as they wanted.
Jesuh naw muk lo lü, Pamhnama veia jenak mthehki. Acun käna axüisaw he üng jah pe se, amimi naw ngawhkie üng ami jah pet. Acukba bäa nga pi ami ngaih kän käna ami jah pet u.
12 Once they were all full, he said to his disciples, “Collect what's left over so nothing is wasted.”
Ami phü käna Jesuh naw, axüisaw he üng, “Apica pi käh bawkya khaia akhläi jah mkhäm be ua,” a ti.
13 So they collected and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves the people had eaten.
Muk nglung mhma cim ami eia khläi mkhäm be u se, cä xaleinghngih üng beki.
14 When the people saw this miracle, they said, “Surely this is the Prophet who was to come into the world.”
Acun üng Jesuha pawh müncankse hmukia khyange naw, “Akcanga hin hin, khawmdek khana law khaia Sahma kcang ni,” ami ti.
15 Jesus realized that they were about to force him to become their king, so he left them and went up into the hills to be by himself.
Khyang he naw man lü asihlinga ami sangpuxanga mcawn hlükie ti Jesuh naw ksingki. Acunakyase, mcunga amät kaiki.
16 When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea,
Khaw mü law se axüisaw he tuili da ju citkie.
17 climbed into a boat, and headed across the water towards Capernaum. By now it was night and Jesus had not joined them yet.
Mlawng üng kai lü, tuilia a caye Kapenawm mlüha citkie. Khaw nghmüp law sepi, Jesuh ami veia am pha law ham.
18 A strong wind began blowing and the sea grew rough.
Khaw aknuia khi law se, tui ngnawk law lü kyan law dämdämki.
19 When they had rowed three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea, coming towards the boat. They were very frightened.
Mäng kthum kphyü bang tui vak u lü ami pha käna, Jesuh tuia khana law lü mlawng da cäh law se ami hmu üng kyüeikie.
20 “Don't be afraid!” he told them. “It's me.”
Jesuh naw, “Kei ni; käh na kyüei ua,” a ti.
21 Then they gladly took him into the boat, and immediately they reached the shore where they were going.
Mlawng üng Jesuh a na do law u se, angxita ami cehnak vaia kawng mlawng am va phakie.
22 The next day the crowd that had stayed on the other side of the sea noticed that there had been only one boat there, and that Jesus had not got into the boat with his disciples, but they had left without him.
Angawi üng, tuili caye kawnga vekia khyange naw mlawng mat däk va veki ti ksing lawkie. Jesuh pi mlawng üng axüisaw hea hlawnga am ve se, axüisaw he amimät mlawng üng citei u se, ami jah hmu.
23 Then other boats arrived from Tiberias, landing near to the place where they'd eaten the bread once the Lord had blessed it.
Tiberi mlüh üngkhyüh Mlawng akce he cun, Bawipa naw Pamhnam üng jenak a mtheh käna muk ami einaka peia lawkie.
24 Once the crowd realized that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into the boats and went over to Capernaum, looking for Jesus.
Khyang he naw Jesuh ja axüisaw he acuia am ve u se ami jah hmu üng, amimät mlawnge üng kai u lü, Kapenawm mlüha Jesuh sui khaia citkie.
25 When they found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him, “Rabbi, when did you get here?”
Khyang he naw tuili cayea Jesuh a ve hmu u lü, “Rabbi, iti üng ahia na lawki ni?” ti lü, ami kthäh u.
26 “I tell you the truth,” Jesus replied, “you're looking for me because you ate as much bread as you wanted, not because you understood the miracles.
Jesuh naw jah msang lü, “Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki: müncanksee nami hmuha phäha nami na suikia am kya, muk ei lü nami phüa phäh nami na suikie ni.
27 Don't be preoccupied about food that doesn't last, but concentrate on the lasting food of eternal life which the Son of man will give you, for God the Father has placed his seal of approval on him.” (aiōnios g166)
“Pyüpye theikia ei käh ktha na u. Khyanga Capa naw a ning jah pet vaia ei, angsäi xünnak ktha na u. Isetiakyaküng, Pa Pamhnam naw amäta msingnak cun Jesuha khana a tak ni,” a ti. (aiōnios g166)
28 So they asked him, “What do we have to do in order to do what God wants?”
Amimi naw, “Pamhnama mlung hlü kami pawhnak vaia, i kami pawh üng daw khai ni,” ami ti.
29 Jesus replied, “What God wants you to do is to trust in the one he sent.”
Jesuh naw, “A tüih lawa khyang nami jumei cun Pamhnama mlung hlü nami pawhkia kyaki,” a ti.
30 “What miracle are you going to perform for us to see so we can trust you? What are you able to do?” they asked.
Amimi naw, “Hmu lü kami ning jumnak law vaia, ia müncankse ja na bi kawm? I ja na pawh kawm?
31 “Our forefathers ate manna in the desert in fulfillment of the Scripture that says, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’”
‘Amimi naw muk ami ei vai khana khyüh jah peki’ ti lü, ami yuka mäiha, kami pupae naw manah khawmkyanga eikie,” ami ti.
32 “I tell you the truth, it wasn't Moses who gave you bread from heaven,” Jesus replied. “It's my Father who gives you the true bread of heaven.
Jesuh naw, “Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki: khana ka muk cen Mosia ning jah pet am ni. Khankhawa ka muk kcang ning jah peki ta keia Pa ni.
33 For the bread of God is the one who comes from heaven and gives life to the world.”
“Pamhnama ning jah pet muk cun naw khankhaw üngkhyüh kyum law lü, khawmdek üng xünnak peki,” a ti.
34 “Lord, please give us this kind of bread all the time!” they said.
Amimi naw, “Bawipa aw, acuna muk aläa jah pea,” ami ti.
35 “I am the bread of life,” Jesus replied. “Anyone who comes to me will never be hungry again, and anyone who trusts in me will never be thirsty again.
Jesuh naw, “Kei cun xünnak muka ka kyaki. Ka veia lawki naküt naw ei am cawi be ti; kei na jumki naküt naw tui am xai be ti,” ti lü a jah mtheh.
36 But as I explained to you before, you have seen me, but you still don't trust me.
Nangmi naw nami na hmuha kpheia am na jumei uki, ti ka ning jah mthehki.
37 All those the Father gives me will come to me, and I won't reject any of them.
“Ka Pa naw a na pet naküt ka veia law khaie. Ka veia lawki naküt kei naw am jah nghei ta ngü.
38 For I came down from heaven not to do what I want, but to do what the one who sent me wants.
“Isetiakyaküng, kamäta ngjak hlü ka pawh khaia khana khyüh ka kyum lawki am ni. Na tüih lawkia a ngjak hlü ka pawh khaia ka lawki ni.
39 What he wants is for me not to lose anyone he has given to me, but for me to raise them up at the last day.
“Na tüih lawkia a ngjak hlü cun a na pete u pi käh jah mkhyüh lü, akpäihnaka khawmhnüp üng avan ka jah xünsak be khai.
40 What my Father wants is for everyone who sees the Son and trusts in him to have eternal life, and for me to raise them up at the last day.” (aiōnios g166)
“Ka paa ngjak hlü cun Capa hmu lü jumki naküt naw angsäi xünnak a yahnak vai ja, kei naw akpäihnaka khawmhnüp üng ka jah xünsak be khaia kyaki,” a ti. (aiōnios g166)
41 Then the Jews began to grumble about him because he had said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.”
Jesuh naw, “Kei khana khyüh ka kyum lawkia muk ni,” a tia phäha Judahe naw aktäa am ngja hlü u.
42 They said, “Isn't this Jesus, the son of Joseph? We know his father and his mother. So how can he now tell us, ‘I came down from heaven’?”
“Hin hin Jesuh, Josepa capa; a pa ja a nu pi mi jah ksing am niki aw? Ihawkba, ‘Kei khana khyüh ka kyum lawki’ a ti ni?” ami ti.
43 “Stop grumbling to each other,” Jesus said.
Jesuh naw, “Namimät naw käh ngcuh ti ua.
44 “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me attracts them, and I will raise them up at the last day.
“Na tüih lawkia Pa naw lam am a msüm üng, u ka veia am law thei khai ni. Akpäihnaka khawmhnüp üng ka jah xünsak be khai.
45 As is written in Scripture by the prophets, ‘Everyone will be taught by God.’ Everyone who listens to and learns from the Father comes to me.
‘‘Ami van Pamhnam naw jah mthei khai’ ti lü, sahma he naw ami yuka mäiha, Ka Paa mtheh ngja lü ngtheingthangki naküt ka veia lawki.
46 Not that anyone has seen God, except he who is from God; he has seen the Father.
“Pamhnama veia ka däka thea, u naw Pa am hmu khawi; Ani däk naw ni a hmuh.
“Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki: kei na jumki naw angsäi xünnak yahki. (aiōnios g166)
48 I am the bread of life.
“Kei cun xünnak muka ka kyaki.
49 Your forefathers ate manna in the desert but they still died.
“Nami pupae naw khawkhyawng khawa manah ei kyaw u lü pi, amimi cun thikie.
50 But this is the bread that comes down from heaven, and anyone who eats it won't ever die.
“Cunüngpi khankhaw üngkhyüh kyum lawki hina muk ei nakütki naw thihnak am hmu ti.
51 I am the life-giving bread from heaven, and anyone who eats this bread will live forever. The bread is my flesh that I give so that the world may live.” (aiōn g165)
“Kei cun khana khyüh kyum lawkia xünnaka muk ni. Acuna muk eiki cun angsäia xüng khai. Khawmdeka xünnak vaia ka ning jah pet vaia muk ta ka mtisa hin ni,” a ti. (aiōn g165)
52 Then the Jews argued heatedly among themselves. “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” they asked.
Judahe amimät thüi lü ngcuh u lü, “Hina khyang naw ihawkba a mtisa ei vaia jah pe hlü theiki ni?” ami ti.
53 Jesus told them, “I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you cannot truly live.
Jesuh naw, “Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki: Khyanga Capa a mtisa am ei lü, a thisen am awkia khyang naw xünnak am yah.
54 Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. (aiōnios g166)
“Ka mtisa ei lü, ka thi awki naküt naw angsäi xünnak yah khai. Akpäihnaka khawmhnüp üng ka jah mtho be khai. (aiōnios g166)
55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
“Isetiakyaküng, ka mtisa cun ei vai kcanga kya lü, ka thisen pi awk vai kcanga kyaki.
56 Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood remain in me, and I remain in them.
“Ka mtisa ei lü, ka thisen awki cun kei üng xüng se, kei pi ani üng ka xüng khai.
57 Just as the life-giving Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so anyone who feeds on me will live because of me.
“Xüngseikia Pa naw na tüih law lü ania phäh kei ka xüngseia kba, ka mtisa eiki naküt cun keia phäh üng xüng khai.
58 Now this is the bread that came down from heaven, not the kind your forefathers ate and still died. Anyone who eats this bread will live forever.” (aiōn g165)
“Hin ni khana khyüh kyum lawki xünnaka muk ta. Nami pupae naw ei u lü akäna ami thihnaka mäih am ni. Ahin eikia khyang naküt cun angsäia xüng khai,” a ti. (aiōn g165)
59 Jesus explained this while he was teaching in a synagogue at Capernaum.
Ahin Jesuh naw, Kapenawm mlüh, sinakoka k'uma a jah mthei üng a pyena kyaki.
60 Many of his disciples when they heard it said, “This is hard to accept! Who can follow it?”
Axüisawe khawhah naw ahin ami ngjak üng, “Hina mtheinak akhak hin u naw ksing khawh khai ni?” ami ti.
61 Jesus saw that his disciples were complaining about this, so he asked them, “Are you offended by this?
U naw am mtheh xa se, axüisaw he naw a pyen küisakie ti Jesuh naw a ksing üng, “Hina phäha nami mlung seki aw?
62 Then what if you were to see the Son ascend to where he was before?
“Khyanga Capa asüa a venaka kai be se nami hmu vai sü ta, ikba nami ti khai sü aw?
63 The Spirit gives life; the physical body doesn't do anything. The words I've told you are spirit and life!
“Xünnak peki cun Pamhnama Ngmüimkhya ni. Khyanga khyaihnak naw i am khyaih khawh. Ka ning jah mtheha ngthue naküt hin naw Mhnam üngkhyüh sak xünnak ning jah peki Ngmüimkhya law püiki.
64 Yet there are some of you who don't trust me.” (Jesus had known from the very beginning who didn't trust him, and who would betray him.)
“Acunsepi, nangmi üng akhäk naw am na jum hlü uki,” a ti. (Akcük üngkhyüh Jesuh naw am jumkie, ja phyaheikia khyang a ksing pänga kyaki)
65 Jesus added, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is made possible by the Father.”
Jesuh bä naw, “Pa naw am a lawpüia khyang cun ka veia am law thei. Acunakyase, ahin he ka ning jah mthehki ni’ ka ti,” a ti.
66 From this time on many of Jesus' disciples gave up and no longer followed him.
Acunüng axüisaw he khawhah naw ceh ta u lü, am läk ti u.
67 Then Jesus asked the twelve disciples, “What about you? Do you want to leave as well?”
Jesuh naw, axüisaw he xaleinghngiha veia, “Nangmi naw pi nami na ceh ta hlüki aw?” ti se,
68 Simon Peter answered, “Lord, who would we follow? You're the one who has the words of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Sihmon Pita naw, “Bawipa aw, ua veia kami cit khai ni? Nang üng angsäi xünnaka ngthu veki. (aiōnios g166)
69 We trust in you, and we're convinced that you are God's Holy One.”
“Atuh ta nang cun Pamhnam üngkhyüh law lü, Ngcingcaihkia Khyang tia jum lü kami ksingki ni,” ti lü, a msang.
70 Jesus replied, “Didn't I choose you, the twelve disciples? Yet one of you is a devil.”
Jesuh naw, “Nangmi xaleinghngih cun keia ning jah xüa am nami kyaki aw? Acunsepi, nangmi üng mat cun khawyai ni,” a ti.
71 (Jesus was referring to Judas, son of Simon Iscariot. He was the one of the twelve disciples who would betray Jesus.)
Jesuh naw Sihmon Iskarota capa Judah a pyena kyaki. Judah cun axüisaw xaleinghngih üngkaa kya kyaw lüpi, Jesuh jawiei khaia kyaki.
