John 6
1 After these things Jesus went beyond the Sea of Galilee, of Tiberias.
Le esiawo megbe la, Yesu tso Galilea ƒu (si woyɔna hã be Tiberias Ƒu la) yi egodo.
2 And a great multitude followed Him, because they saw the miracles He was doing in behalf of the sick.
Ameha gã aɖe nɔ eyome, elabena wokpɔ nukunu siwo wòwɔ heda gbe le dɔnɔwo ŋu.
3 And Jesus came into the mountain; and was sitting there with His disciples.
Yesu lia togbɛ aɖe, eye eya kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo nɔ anyi ɖe afi ma.
4 And the passover, the feast of the Jews, was nigh.
Yudatɔwo ƒe Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la hã tu aƒe.
5 Therefore Jesus lifting up His eyes, and seeing that a great multitude is coming to Him, He says to Philip, Whence can we purchase bread, that these may eat?
Esi Yesu fɔ ta dzi hekpɔ ameha gã aɖe wogbɔna va egbɔ la, ebia Filipo be, “Afi ka míakpɔ nuɖuɖu le ana ameha gã sia woaɖu?”
6 He spoke this testing him; for He knew what He was about to do.
Yesu bia nya sia be yeatsɔ ado Filipo ƒe xɔse akpɔ, elabena eya ŋutɔ nya nu si wɔ ge wòala.
7 Philip responded to Him, The loaves of two hundred denaria are not sufficient for these, that each one may receive a little.
Filipo ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Ɣleti ade ƒe fetu gɔ̃ hã mate ŋu aƒle nuɖuɖu wòade na ameha sia o!”
8 And one of His disciples, Andrew, the brother of Peter, says to Him,
Eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dometɔ ɖeka, Andrea, Simɔn Petro nɔvi, gblɔ nɛ be,
9 There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two fishes: but what are these among so many?
“Ŋutsuvi aɖe le afi sia si si lubolo sue atɔ̃ kple tɔmelã meme eve le, gake nu ka esia ate ŋu awɔ le ameha gã sia ŋuti?”
10 And Jesus said, Make the people sit down. And there was much grass in the place. However the men sat down in number about five thousand.
Yesu gblɔ na nusrɔ̃lawo be, “Mina ame sia ame nanɔ anyi.” Gbe sɔ gbɔ ɖe teƒe sia. Ale ame siwo ƒe xexlẽme anɔ akpe atɔ̃ la nɔ anyi ɖe gbeawo dzi.
11 And Jesus took the bread; and gave thanks, and gave it to the disciples, and the disciples to the people sitting down; and likewise also of the fishes so much as they wished.
Yesu tsɔ aboloawo, eye wòdo gbe ɖa heda akpe ɖe wo ta. Emegbe la, etsɔe na eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo be woama na ameawo. Edo gbe ɖa ɖe tɔmelã meme eveawo hã ta, eye wòtsɔe na ameawo.
12 And when they were filled, He says to His disciples, Gather up the remaining fragments, that nothing may be lost.
Esi ame sia ame ɖu nu ɖi ƒo nyuie vɔ la, Yesu gblɔ na nusrɔ̃lawo be, “Miƒo abolo wuwlui siwo katã susɔ la nu ƒu be womagaɖi vlo o.”
13 Then they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets from the live barley loaves, which remained to those having eaten.
Ale woƒo abolo wuwluiawo katã nu ƒu, eye wòyɔ kusi wuieve sɔŋ.
14 Then the people, seeing the miracle which Jesus did, were saying, that, This is truly the prophet who is coming into the world.
Esi ameawo kpɔ nukunu gã si Yesu wɔ la, wodo ɣli gblɔ be, “Le nyateƒe me la, ame siae nye Nyagblɔɖila si míele mɔ kpɔm na le xexe sia me.”
15 And Jesus knowing that they are about to come and take Him, that they may make Him king, departs again into the mountain Himself alone.
Yesu kpɔe dze sii be ameawo nɔ didim be yewoalé ye aɖo fiae sesẽtɔe, eya ta ewɔ dzaa galia togbɛ la, eye wòdzo le wo gbɔ.
16 And when it was evening, His disciples went down to the sea;
Le fiẽ me la, nusrɔ̃lawo yi ƒuta ɖanɔ elalam le afi ma.
17 and embarking in the ship, they were going to the other side of the sea into Capernaum. And it was already dark, and Jesus had not come to them;
Zã do vɔ keŋ, gake Yesu medo ta ɖa o, eya ta nusrɔ̃lawo ge ɖe ʋu aɖe me, eye wokui ɖo ta Kapernaum.
18 and the sea wrought, a great wind blowing.
Ya sesẽ aɖe de asi ƒoƒo me, eye ƒu la dze agbo.
19 Then having gone about twenty-five or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and being near the ship; and were terrified.
Esi woku ʋu la abe agbadroƒe etɔ̃ alo ene ko ene la, wokpɔ Yesu wònɔ tetem ɖe ʋu la ŋuti, enɔ ƒu la dzi zɔm, eye vɔvɔ̃ ɖo wo,
20 And He says to them, I am here; fear not.
ke egblɔ na wo be, “Nyee, migavɔ̃ o.”
21 Then they wished to receive Him into the ship, and immediately the ship was at the land to which they were going.
Wodi be yewoakɔe ade ʋu la me, gake enumake la, ʋu la de tɔkɔ, afi si yim wonɔ la.
22 On the following day the multitude standing beyond the sea saw that there was no other ship there, except one, and that Jesus did not go along with His disciples into the ship, but His disciples went away alone
Esi ŋu ke la, ameha si nɔ tsitre ɖe ƒu la ƒe go kemɛ dzi la de dzesii be ʋu ɖeka koe nɔ afi ma. Wokpɔ hã be, Yesu meɖo ʋu la kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo o, ke boŋ woawo ɖeɖe koe yi.
23 (other ships came from Tiberias near the place where they ate the bread, the Lord having given thanks).
Tete ʋu bubu aɖewo tso Tiberia va ɖo afi si ameawo ɖu abolo si Aƒetɔ la yra kple akpedada le.
24 And when the multitude saw that Jesus was not there, nor His disciples, they went into ships, and came into Capernaum, seeking Jesus.
Esi ameawo kpɔ be Yesu alo eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo menɔ afi ma o la, woɖo ʋuawo heyi Kapernaum be yewoaɖadi Yesu.
25 And having found Him beyond the sea, they said to Him, Master, when did you come hither?
Esi woɖo Kapernaum la, wokpɔ Yesu, eye wobiae be, “Nufiala, ɣe ka ɣi nèva ɖo afi sia?”
26 Jesus responded to them and said, Truly, truly, I say unto you, You seek me not because you saw the miracles, but because you ate of the loaves, and were filled.
Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Le nyateƒe me la, miele diyem, menye ɖe esi miekpɔ nukunuwo ta o, ke boŋ le nuɖuɖu si mena mi etsɔ la ta.
27 Labor not for the food that perishes, but the food that abideth unto eternal life, which the Son of man gives to you: for this God the Father hath sealed. (aiōnios g166)
Migawɔ dɔ ɖe nuɖuɖu si gblẽna la ta o, ke boŋ ɖe nuɖuɖu si kplɔa ame yina ɖe agbe mavɔ me si Nye, Amegbetɔ Vi la mana mi la ta. Eya dzie Mawu Fofo la da asi ɖo.” (aiōnios g166)
28 Then they said to Him, What must we do, that we may work the works of God?
Ameawo biae be, “Nu ka míawɔ be míawɔ dɔ siwo Mawu di?”
29 Jesus responded and said to them, This is the work of God, that you may believe on Him whom He hath sent.
Yesu ɖo eŋu be, “Enye Mawu ƒe didi be miaxɔ ame si wòɖo ɖa la dzi ase.”
30 Then they said to Him, Then what miracle do you perform, that we may see, and believe you, what you may do?
Tete ameawo biae be, “Nukunu ka nàwɔ míakpɔ be míaxɔ dziwò ase? Nu ka nàwɔ?
31 Our fathers ate manna in the wilderness; as has been written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
Mía fofowo ɖu mana le gbea dzi abe ale si woŋlɔe ɖi ene be, ‘Ena abolo wo tso dziƒo be woaɖu.’”
32 Then Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say unto you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven; but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.
Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Nyateƒe gblɔm mele na mi be, menye Mosee na abolo tso dziƒo mi o, ke boŋ Fofonyee.
33 For the bread of God is the One coming down from heaven, and giving life to the world.
Abolo si Mawu na lae nye ame si tso dziƒo va, eye wòna agbe xexea me.”
34 Then they said to Him, Lord, evermore give to us this bread.
Ameawo gblɔ be, “Aƒetɔ, tso fifia heyi la, na abolo sia mí.”
35 Then Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life; the one coming unto me can never hunger, and the one believing on me shall never thirst.
Yesu gblɔ be, “Nyee nye agbebolo la. Ame si ava gbɔnye la, dɔ magawui akpɔ o, eye ame si xɔ dzinye se la, tsikɔ magawui gbeɖe o.
36 But I said unto you, That you have seen, and you do not believe.
Gake abe ale si megblɔ do ŋgɔe ene la, miekpɔm, gake miexɔ dzinye se o.
37 Everything which the Father giveth unto me shall come to me; and him that cometh unto me I will in no wise cast out.
Ame siwo katã Fofo la tsɔ nam la, woava gbɔnye, eye nyemagbe wo xɔxɔ gbeɖe o.
38 Because I have come down from heaven, not that I may do my own will, but the will of Him that sent me.
Elabena nyemetso dziƒo va be mawɔ nye lɔlɔ̃nu o, ke boŋ be mawɔ ame si dɔm ɖa la ƒe lɔlɔ̃nu.
39 And this is the will of the One having sent me, that everything that the Father has given unto me I shall lose nothing of it, but I shall raise it up in the last day.
Eye esiae nye ame si dɔm la ƒe lɔlɔ̃nu be magabu ame siwo wòtsɔ nam la dometɔ aɖeke o, ke boŋ be mana woatsi tsitre le nuwuwuŋkeke la dzi.
40 For this is the will of my Father, that every one seeing the Son, and believing on Him, may have eternal life; and I will raise him up in the last day. (aiōnios g166)
Elabena Fofonye ƒe lɔlɔ̃nue nye be ame sia ame si kpɔa Via dzi, eye wòxɔ edzi se la, akpɔ agbe mavɔ, eye mafɔe ɖe tsitre le nuwuwuŋkeke la dzi.” (aiōnios g166)
41 Then the Jews were murmuring concerning Him, because He said, I am the bread having come down from heaven,
Azɔ Yudatɔwo de asi liʋĩliʋĩlilĩ me le eŋu, le esi wògblɔ be yee nye abolo si tso dziƒo va la ta.
42 and they continued to say, Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how does He now say; I have come down from heaven?
Wogblɔ be, “Nu ka! Menye ame siae nye Yesu, Yosef ƒe vi la oa? Míenya fofoa kple dadaa ɖe! Nu ka ta wòle gbɔgblɔm na mí fifia be, ‘Metso dziƒo va ɖo?’”
43 Jesus responded and said to them, Murmur not with one another.
Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Migalĩ liʋĩliʋĩ be megblɔ nya sia o.
44 No one is able to come unto me, unless the Father who sent me may draw him: and I will raise him up in the last day.
Ame aɖeke mate ŋu ava gbɔnye o, negbe Fofo si dɔm ɖa la hee ɖe ŋunye, eye le nuwuwuŋkeke la dzi la, mana ame siawo natsi tsitre.
45 It is written in the prophets, They shall all be taught of God; every one hearing and learning from the Father, comes to me.
Abe ale si woŋlɔe ɖe Nyagblɔɖilawo ƒe agbalẽ me ene la, ‘Mawu afia nu wo katã.’ Ame siwo katã ɖo to Fofo la, eye wosrɔ̃ nyateƒe la le egbɔ la vaa gbɔnye.
46 No one has seen the Father, except the One who is with God, He hath seen God.
Ame aɖeke mekpɔ Mawu kpɔ o, negbe ame si tso Mawu gbɔ la koe kpɔ Fofo la.
“Mele egblɔm na mi nyateƒetɔe be, ame si xɔ dzinye se la, agbe mavɔ le esi! (aiōnios g166)
48 I am the bread of life.
Nyee nye agbebolo la!
49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and died;
Togbɔ be mia fofowo ɖu mana si tso dziƒo hã la, woku.
50 this is the bread coming down from heaven, that any one may eat of it, and not die.
Ke esiae nye abolo si tso dziƒo va, esi ame aɖu, eye maku o.
51 I am the living bread, having come down from heaven; if any one may eat of me the bread, he will live forever: and the bread which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh. (aiōn g165)
Nyee nye agbebolo si tso dziƒo va. Ne ame aɖe ɖu abolo sia la, anɔ agbe tegbee. Abolo siae nye nye ŋutilã si matsɔ ana ɖe xexea me ƒe agbe ta.” (aiōn g165)
52 Then the Jews were contending with one another, saying, How is this One able to give unto us His flesh to eat?
Azɔ ʋiʋli gaɖo Yudatɔwo dome ɖe nya si Yesu gblɔ la ta. Wobia wo nɔewo be, “Aleke ŋutsu sia atsɔ eƒe ŋutilã na mí be míaɖu?”
53 Then Jesus said unto them, Truly, truly, I say unto you, Unless you may eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink His blood, you have no life in you.
Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Nyateƒe gblɔm mele na mi be, ne ame aɖe meɖu Amegbetɔ Vi la ƒe ŋutilã, eye wòno eƒe ʋu o la, agbe manɔ eme o.
54 The one eating my flesh and drinking my blood has eternal life; and I will raise him up in the last day. (aiōnios g166)
Ame si ɖu nye ŋutilã, eye wòno nye ʋu la, agbe mavɔ le esi, eye mafɔe ɖe tsitre le nuwuwuŋkeke la dzi. (aiōnios g166)
55 For my flesh is the true food, and my blood is the true drink.
Elabena nye ŋutilã nye nuɖuɖu vavã, eye nye ʋu nye nunono vavã.
56 The one eating my flesh and drinking my blood abides in me, and I in him.
Ame si ɖua nye ŋutilã, eye wònoa nye ʋu la nye ame si le menye, eye nye hã mele eme.
57 As the living Father sent me, and I live through the Father; truly the one eating me, shall also live through me.
Abe ale si Fofo gbagbe la dɔm ɖa, eye mele agbe le Fofo la ta ene la, nenema ke ame si ɖua nye ŋutilã la anɔ agbe, elabena mena agbe wo.
58 He is the bread having come down from heaven: not as the fathers ate, and died: the one eating this bread shall live forever. (aiōn g165)
Nyee nye abolo tso dziƒo va. Mia fofowo ɖu mana, eye woku, ke ame si aɖu abolo sia ƒe ɖe la, anɔ agbe tso mavɔ me yi mavɔ me.” (aiōn g165)
59 And He spoke these things in the synagogue, teaching in Capernaum.
Yesu gblɔ nya siawo esime wònɔ nu fiam le Yudatɔwo ƒe ƒuƒoƒe le Kapernaum.
60 Then many of His disciples, hearing, said, This is a hard sermon; who is able to hear it?
Esi Yesu ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo se nya sia la, wo dometɔ geɖewo gblɔ be, “Nufiafia sia sesẽ. Ame kae ate ŋu awɔ nu siawo?”
61 And Jesus knowing in Himself that His disciples are murmuring concerning it, said to them, Does this offend you?
Yesu de dzesii be yeƒe nusrɔ̃lawo le liʋĩliʋĩ lĩm, eya ta egblɔ na wo be, “Ɖe nye nyawo ɖia mia nua?
62 If then you may see the Son of man ascending up, where He was formerly?
Ekema miekpɔ Amegbetɔ Vi la wòyina ɖe dziƒo, afi si wòtso va ɖe!
63 The Spirit is the One who creates life; the flesh profits nothing; the words which I have spoken unto you are spirit and life.
Gbɔgbɔ la naa agbe; wɔna aɖeke mele ŋutilã ya ŋu o. Nya siwo megblɔ na mi la nye Gbɔgbɔ kple agbe.
64 But there are certain ones of you who do not believe. For Jesus knew from the beginning that there are certain ones not believing, and there is one going to betray Him.
Gake mia dometɔ aɖewo mexɔ dzinye se o.” Ke Yesu nya ame siwo mexɔ edzi se o, kple ame si le ede ge asi la tso gɔmedzedzea me ke.
65 And He said, Therefore I have said unto you, that no one is able to come unto me, unless it may have been given unto him of the Father.
Yesu gagblɔ be, “Esia ta megblɔ na mi be ame aɖeke mate ŋu ava gbɔnye o, negbe Fofo la ŋutɔe hee ɖe ŋunye.”
66 Moreover from this many of His disciples went back, and walked with Him no more.
Tso esia dzi la, eƒe nusrɔ̃la geɖewo trɔ dzo le egbɔ, eye womegadzea eyome o.
67 Then Jesus said to the twelve, Do you also wish to go away?
Yesu bia nusrɔ̃la wuieveawo be, “Miawo hã, miedi be yewoadzoa?”
68 Simon Peter responded to Him, Lord, to whom shall we go away? thou hast the words of eternal life; (aiōnios g166)
Simɔn Petro ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Aƒetɔ, ame ka gbɔ míadzo ayi? Agbe mavɔ nyawo le asiwò. (aiōnios g166)
69 we have believed and we know that thou art the Holy One of God.
Míexɔe se, eye mienyae be wòe nye Mawu ƒe Vi Kɔkɔe la.”
70 Jesus responded to them, Have I not chosen you twelve, and one of you is devilish?
Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Mi ame wuievee metia, gake mia dometɔ ɖeka nye Abosam!”
71 But He spoke of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon, for he was going to betray Him, being one of the twelve.
(Yesu gblɔ nya sia tso Yuda, Simɔn Iskariɔt ƒe vi, ame si nye ame wuieveawo dometɔ ɖeka, ame si afia eyomemɔ emegbe la ŋu.)
