John 6
1 AFTER these things Jesus went beyond the sea of Galilee, that is of Tiberias.
Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo, Yesu n’asomoka ennyanja ey’e Ggaliraaya, era eyitibwa ey’e Tiberiya.
2 And a vast multitude followed him, because they saw the miracles which he performed on those who were diseased.
Ekibiina ky’abantu kinene ne bamugoberera, kubanga baalaba ebyamagero bye yakola ng’awonya abalwadde.
3 Then Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat down with his disciple.
Awo Yesu n’alinnya ku lusozi n’atuula wansi n’abayigirizwa be.
4 And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.
Embaga y’Abayudaaya eyitibwa Okuyitako yali eri kumpi okutuuka.
5 Then Jesus lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a vast concourse of people was come to him, said to Philip, Whence shall we buy loaves, that these may 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 And this he said to try him: for himself knew what he would do.
Yayogera atyo kugezesa Firipo, kubanga Yesu yali amanyi ky’agenda okukola.
7 Philip answered him, Two hundred denarii spent in bread would not procure a sufficiency for them, that every one of them might have a morsel.
Firipo n’amuddamu nti, “Emmere egula eddinaali ebikumi ebibiri teesobole na kubabuna, buli omu okulyako akatono.”
8 One of his disciples saith to him, (Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, )
Awo omu ku bayigirizwa be, Andereya muganda wa Simooni Peetero, n’amugamba nti,
9 There is a little lad here, who hath five barley-loaves, and two small fishes: but these, what are they among so many?
“Wano waliwo omulenzi alina emigaati etaano egya sayiri, n’ebyennyanja bibiri. Naye bino binaagasa ki abantu abangi bwe bati?”
10 Then said Jesus, Make the men sit down. For there was plenty of grass on the spot. Therefore the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Mutuuze abantu.” Waaliwo omuddo mungi mu kifo ekyo. Awo abantu ne batuula, ne baba abasajja ng’enkumi ttaano.
11 And Jesus took the loaves; and giving thanks, gave to the disciples, and the disciples to those who were sat down; and in the same manner of the fishes, as much as they chose.
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 they had made a hearty meal, he saith to his disciples, Gather up the broken bits which are left, that not a morsel be wasted.
Oluvannyuma Yesu n’agamba abayigirizwa be nti, “Kale mukuŋŋaanye obutundutundu obusigaddewo tuleme kufiirwa.”
13 Then they collected them, and filled twelve baskets with fragments out of the five barley-loaves, which were more than enough for 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 therefore the men saw the miracle which Jesus had done, they said, This is of a certainty that prophet which 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, knowing their intention to come and to seize him by force, in order to make him king, retired again into the mountain by himself alone.
Yesu bwe yategeera nti bategeka okumukwata bamufuule kabaka waabwe n’addayo yekka ku lusozi.
16 So when evening was now come, his disciples went down to the sea-side,
Obudde bwe bwawungeera abayigirizwa ba Yesu ne baserengeta ku nnyanja
17 and embarking on a vessel were coming across the sea to Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them.
ne basaabala mu lyato ne boolekera Kaperunawumu. N’obudde bwali buzibye nga ne Yesu tannaba kutuuka gye bali.
18 And the sea was greatly agitated by a tempestuous wind that blew.
Awo omuyaga ne gukunta mungi, ennyanja n’esiikuuka.
19 Having rowed therefore about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they saw Jesus walking on the sea, and coming near the vessel, and they were affrighted.
Bwe baavugako kilomita nga ttaano oba mukaaga, ne balaba Yesu ng’atambulira ku mazzi, ng’asemberera eryato, ne batya.
20 But he saith to them, It is I; be not afraid.
Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Ye Nze, temutya!”
21 Then they desired to take him into the vessel: and instantly the vessel was at the land whither they were going.
Ne baagala okumuyingiza mu lyato, amangwago eryato ne ligoba ku ttale gye baali bagenda.
22 The next day the multitude who stayed on the other side of the sea, when they saw that there was no little vessel there, except the one into which his disciples went, and that Jesus went not with his disciples in the vessel, but that his disciples went 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 (but now little vessels had come from Tiberias near to the spot where they had eaten 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 then when the multitude saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they also went into the vessels, and came to Capernaum, in search of Jesus.
Awo abantu bwe baalaba nga Yesu taliiwo wadde abayigirizwa be, ne bakwata amaato ne bawunguka ne batuuka e Kaperunawumu nga banoonya Yesu.
25 And when they found him on the other side the sea, they said to him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
Bwe baamulaba emitala w’ennyanja ne bamubuuza nti, “Labbi, watuuse ddi wano?”
26 Jesus replied to them and said, Ye seek me, not because ye have seen the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.
Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Ddala ddala mbagamba nti munnoonya si lwa kubanga mwalaba obubonero, naye lwa kubanga mwalya emigaati ne mukkuta.
27 Labour not for the meat which is perishable, but for that meat which endureth unto life eternal, which the Son of man will give you: for him hath the Father sealed, even God. (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 said they unto him, What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?
Awo ne bamubuuza nti, “Tukole ki okutuukiriza ekyo Katonda ky’ayagala?”
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye should believe on him whom he hath sent.
Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Katonda ky’ayagala mukole kwe kukkiriza oyo gwe yatuma.”
30 Then said they to him, What miracle therefore dost thou, that we may see and believe thee? what dost thou work?
Ne bamugamba nti, “Kale kabonero ki ggwe k’okola, tulabe tukukkirize? Onookola kabonero ki?
31 Our fathers did eat 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 Then said Jesus unto them, Verily, verily, I tell you, It was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the real 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 he that cometh down from heaven, and giveth life to the world, is the bread of God.
Emmere ya Katonda ye eva mu ggulu, era ye awa ensi obulamu.”
34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
Ne bamugamba nti, “Mukama waffe, tuwenga emmere eyo buli lunaku.”
35 Then said Jesus to them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst more.
Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Nze mmere ey’obulamu. Ajja gye ndi enjala teriddayo kumuluma, era abo abanzikiriza tebaliddayo kulumwa nnyonta.
36 But I have told you, That though ye have seen me, yet ye have not believed.
Naye nabagamba nti mundabye naye era ne mutanzikiriza.
37 Every individual which the Father giveth me will come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in nowise cast out.
Buli muntu Kitange gw’ampa alijja gye ndi, era buli ajja gye ndi sirimugobera bweru.
38 For I came down from heaven, not with a view to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me.
Kubanga ekyanzigya mu ggulu kwe kukola ekyo Katonda eyantuma ky’ayagala, so si Nze bye njagala ku bwange.
39 Now this is the will of the Father who sent me, That every thing which he hath given me I should not be deprived of it, but raise it 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 And this is the will of him that sent me, That every one who seeth the Son, and believeth on him, should have life eternal: 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 Then the Jews murmured against him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.
Awo Abayudaaya ne batandika okwemulugunyiza Yesu, kubanga yabagamba nti, “Nze mmere eyava mu ggulu.”
42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how then saith this man, That I came 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 Jesus answered and said to them, Murmur not among yourselves.
Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Temwemulugunya.
44 No man can come to me, except the Father who hath sent me draw 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 shall all be taught of God.” Every one therefore who heareth from the Father, and learneth, cometh to me.
Kubanga kyawandiikibwa mu bannabbi nti, ‘Bonna baliyigirizibwa Katonda.’ Era buli gw’ayigiriza n’ategeera amazima ajja gye ndi.
46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, except he that is with God, he hath 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 did eat manna in the wilderness, and they are dead.
Bajjajjammwe baalya emaanu mu ddungu ne bafa.
50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that any person may eat of it, and never die.
Eno y’emmere eyava mu ggulu, buli agiryako aleme okufa.
51 I am the bread that giveth life, which came down from heaven: if any person eat of this bread, he shall live to eternity; and the bread indeed which I shall give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. (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 Then the Jews contended with each other, saying, 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 Jesus therefore said to them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves.
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 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath life eternal: 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 truly is meat, and my blood truly is drink.
Kubanga omubiri gwange kye kyokulya ddala n’omusaayi gwange kye kyokunywa ddala.
56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, abideth 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 As the life-giving Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father; so he that eateth me, the same shall live by 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 which came down from heaven, not as the manna your fathers did eat, and died: he that eateth this bread shall live to eternity. (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 These things he spake in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
Ebyo Yesu yabyogera ng’ayigiriza mu kkuŋŋaaniro e Kaperunawumu.
60 Many therefore of his disciples, who heard him, said, Difficult is this discourse, who is able to fathom it?
Abayigirizwa ba Yesu bangi bwe baabiwulira ne bagamba nti, “Ekigambo ekyo kizibu okutegeera. Ani asobola okutunnyonnyola ky’agamba?”
61 Then Jesus, conscious in himself that his disciples murmured concerning this discourse, said unto them, Doth this stumble you?
Awo Yesu bwe yategeera nga n’abayigirizwa be bakyemulugunyako, n’abagamba nti, “Ekyo kibeesittaza?
62 What then if ye see the Son of man ascending where he was formerly?
Kale mulirowooza ki bwe muliraba Omwana w’Omuntu ng’addayo gye yava?
63 The Spirit is the life-giving power; the flesh contributeth nothing: the declarations which I make to you, they 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 But there are some of you who do not believe. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who the person was that should betray him.
Naye era abamu ku mmwe temukkiriza.” Kubanga okuva ku lubereberye Yesu yategeera abatamukkiriza era n’oyo agenda okumulyamu olukwe.
65 And he said, Therefore have I informed you, That no man can come to me, except it be given him of my Father.
Awo n’agamba nti, “Kyennava ŋŋamba nti tewali ayinza kujja gye ndi bw’atakiweebwa Kitange.”
66 From that discourse many of his disciples went away back, and no more followed him about.
Okuva olwo bangi ku bayigirizwa be ne bamuvaako ne bataddayo kuyita naye.
67 Then said Jesus to the twelve, Will ye also go away?
Awo Yesu n’akyukira abayigirizwa be ekkumi n’ababiri n’ababuuza nti, “Nammwe mwagala kugenda?”
68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, unto whom shall we go from thee? thou hast 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 And we have believed and known that thou art the Messiah, the Son of the living God.
Ffe tubikkiriza era tumanyi nti oli Mutukuvu wa Katonda.”
70 Jesus answered them, Have I not chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?
Awo Yesu kwe kubagamba nti, “Mmwe ekkumi n’ababiri si nze nabalonda? Naye omu ku mmwe Setaani!”
71 Now he spake of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon: for this man was ready to betray him, though he was one of the twelve.
Yesu yayogera ku Yuda, mutabani wa Simooni Isukalyoti, kubanga ye yali agenda okumulyamu olukwe.
