< John 6 >

1 After these things Jesus went away beyond the Sea of Galilee (of Tiberias),
Hazimana inzi zintu, Jesu chayenda kuyimwi imbali ye wate lya Galileya, hape livali kusupiwa I wate lya Tiberiya.
2 and there was following Him a great multitude, because they were seeing His signs that He was doing on the ailing;
Vungi vwe chichava chivali kumwi chilire kakuli vava voni imakazo zavali kupanga kwavo vavali kulwala.
3 and Jesus went up to the mountain, and He was sitting with His disciples there,
Jesu cha yenda kwirundu mi uko abake kali hasi ni varutwana vakwe.
4 and the Passover was near, the celebration of the Jews.
(Hanu mukiti we Paseka, Mukiti wa Majunda, uvali kwina hafuhi.)
5 Jesus then having lifted up [His] eyes and having seen that a great multitude comes to Him, says to Philip, “From where will we buy loaves, that these may eat?”
Linu Jesu halola mwi wulu ni kuvona vantu vangi niva keza kwakwe, cha wambira Filipi, “Tuwola kuwula kuhi vuronto ili kuli ava vantu va wole kulya?”
6 And this He said, trying him, for He Himself had known what He was about to do.
(Kono Jesu a vawambi ichi kulika Filipi, kakuli iye mwine ivali kwizi icho chavali kuswanera kupanga.)
7 Philip answered Him, “Two hundred denarii worth of loaves are not sufficient to them, that each of them may receive some little”;
Filipi cha mwi tava, “Miyanda yovere yamashereñi ovuroto kasa a wole kuwulira zumwi ni zumwi wavo nangati kakwa kanini.”
8 one of His disciples—Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter—says to Him,
Zumwi wa valutwana vakwe, Adiriyasi, mukulwe wa Simoni Pita, chata kwa Jesu,
9 “There is one little boy here who has five barley loaves and two fishes, but these—what are they to so many?”
“Kwina muhwire wo muswisu hanu wina zikwa zeminwe ye yanza zo Vuroto ni nswi zo vere, kono chinzi ichi mukati ketu?”
10 And Jesus said, “Make the men to sit down”; and there was much grass in the place, the men then sat down, in number, as it were, five thousand,
Jesu chati, “Mwikalike vantu hansi.”( Hanu kuvena lyani liñgi mwe china chivaka, ) Cwale vakwame chive kala hansi, valikana lule na lule lwe minwe yeyanza ku mpalo.
11 and Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks He distributed [them] to the disciples, and the disciples to those reclining, in like manner, also of the little fishes as much as they wished.
Linu Jesu chahinda vuloto mi hamana kuha vuitumero, cha tambika kwavo vavali kwi kere, mi kuswana nikwi inswi, chovungi sina muvavali kusakira.
12 And when they were filled, He says to His disciples, “Gather together the broken pieces that are left over, that nothing may be lost”;
Linu vantu havave kuti, cha wamba kuva lutwana vakwe, “Mukunganye vu fwafwali ni twa ngamoka twa shala, iri kuli kanji kuwaniki chi zova.”
13 they gathered together, therefore, and filled twelve hand-baskets with broken pieces, from the five barley loaves that were over to those having eaten.
Chale chiva tu kunganya ni kwizuza zitanda ze kumi ni tovere tufwafwali tuva zwi ha vuronto bwina palo ye minwe ye yanza ye; tu fwafwali tuva shali kwavo vavali.
14 The men, then, having seen the sign that Jesus did, said, “This is truly the Prophet who is coming into the world”;
Linu, vantu hava vona ichi chisupo chava pangi, chiva wamba, “Uzu chovu niti muporofita yo swanera kukeza mwi nkanda.”
15 Jesus, therefore, having known that they are about to come, and to seize Him by force that they may make Him king, retired again to the mountain Himself alone.
Chale Jesu ha lemuha kuti chivavali kusaka kukeza ni kumukwata che nkani kuti vamupange mulena, cha zwengera yenke kuma Lundu.
16 And when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea,
Hachiyiza kuva chitengu, va lutwana vakwe chiva shetumukera kwi wate.
17 and having entered into the boat, they were going over the sea to Capernaum, and darkness had already come, and Jesus had not come to them,
Chive chira muchikepe, mi vavali kuluta i wate kuya kwa Capenaume. Chikuvali kusiha cheyi nako, mi Jesu kena aveni kuka vola kale kuvali.
18 the sea also—a great wind blowing—was being raised,
Imi i huho likolete livali kuhunga, mi iwate chili vali kutangite kulwa.
19 having pushed onward, therefore, about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they behold Jesus walking on the sea, and coming near to the boat, and they were afraid;
Hachi va zuhite chiuvaka chilikana makumi overe ni minwe ye yaza lyoke kamba makumi o tatwe muvule, chiva vona Jesu nakaya vuyenda he wulu lya wate ni kezite kumbali ni chikepe, mi vavali kutiyite.
20 and He says to them, “I AM; do not be afraid”;
Kono chati kuvali, “Njeme! Kanji mutiyi.”
21 they were willing then to receive Him into the boat, and immediately the boat came to the land to which they were going.
Linu vavali kukusaka kumu longa muchi sepe, mi yahaho chisepe chicha kasika he rizo havavali kukaya.
22 On the next day, the multitude that was standing on the other side of the sea, having seen that there was no other little boat there except one—that into which His disciples entered—and that Jesus did not go in with His disciples into the little boat, but His disciples went away alone
Izuva lichilira, chinavungi chivali kuzimene kwishirya lye wate chiva vona kuti kena kuvena chimwi chikepe mbwita fera china choke, ni kuti Jesu kena ave chili mwateni ni varutwana vakwe kono kuti varutwana vakwe chivavali kuyendete vovona.
23 (and other little boats came from Tiberias, near the place where they ate the bread, the LORD having given thanks),
Niha kuva vulyo, kuvena amwi mato avali kukazwa kwa Tiberiasi hafuhi ni chivaka aho hava liri vuroto uvo Simwine hava litumeri.
24 when therefore the multitude saw that Jesus is not there, nor His disciples, they also entered into the boats themselves, and came to Capernaum seeking Jesus;
Linu china vungi hachi lemuha kuti nangati Jesu kamba varutwana vakwe kena vavali kusikwina, cwale avo vene chiva chira mumato ni kuyenda kwa Capenaume kuka ngana Jesu.
25 and having found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, “Rabbi, when have You come here?”
Hachiva manite kumuwana kweyina imwi imbali ye wate, chiva cho kwali, “Rabbi, wakeza liri kunu?”
26 Jesus answered them and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves, and were satisfied;
Jesu chave tava, ni kucho, “cho vuniti, niti, muni ngana, isiñi kuti muvavoni imakazo, kono ivaka lyokuti muvali vuroto vumwi bwe nkonko mi muve kuti.
27 do not work for the food that is perishing, but for the food that is remaining to continuous life, which the Son of Man will give to you, for the Father sealed Him—[even] God.” (aiōnios g166)
Kanji muverekeri zilyo inzo zisinyeha, kono muverekere zilyo zikala inako kutwala kuvahalo vusa mani uvo Mwana o Muntu bwasa mihe, kwe Ireeza Isi ava viki iswayo hali.” (aiōnios g166)
28 Therefore they said to Him, “What may we do that we may work the works of God?”
Cwale chivati kwali, “Chizi chi tuswanera ku panga, iri kuli tuwole kupanga misevezi ye Ireeza?”
29 Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you may believe in Him whom He sent.”
Jesu che tava ni kuta kuvali, “Uwu njo musevezi we Ireeza: kuti mu zumine ku yenke unzo yavaka tumi.”
30 Therefore they said to Him, “What sign, then, do You do, that we may see and may believe You? What do You work?
Chwale chiva ta kwali, “Chechihi chisupo cwale choso pange, iri kuli tuvone ni kuku zumina? Chinzi choto pange?
31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, according as it is having been written: He gave them bread out of Heaven to eat.”
Veshetu vavali maana mwi halaupa, sina hakuñoletwe,'Avavahi inkonko izwa kwi wuulu kulya.”
32 Jesus, therefore, said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread out of Heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread out of Heaven;
Linu Jesu chave tava, “Chovu niti, niti, kena ivali Mushe yava mihi inkonko kuzwa mwi wuulu, kono ivali Tayo yo miha inkonko ye niti izwa kwi wulu.
33 for the bread of God is Him coming down out of Heaven, and giving life to the world.”
Kakuti inkonko ye Ireeza je china chi zwa kwiwulu ni kukeza hansi ni kwiza kuha vuhalo kwi nkanda.”
34 Therefore they said to Him, “Lord, always give us this bread.”
Cwale chiva wamba kwali, “Nfumwetu, utuhe iyi inkonko inako yonse.”
35 And Jesus said to them, “I AM the bread of life; he who is coming to Me may not hunger, and he who is believing in Me may not thirst—at any time;
Jesu cha wamba kuvali, “Jeme ni nkonko yo vuhalo; uzo yo keza kwangu kasane ka fwe inzala, mi uzo yo zumina mwangu kesane kafwe inyota.
36 but I said to you that you also have seen Me, and you do not believe;
Kono ni vami wambiri chovu niti muvani voni, mi kamu zumini.
37 all that the Father gives to Me will come to Me; and him who is coming to Me, I will never cast outside,
Yense uzo Tayo waniha mwa keze kwangu, mi yense yo keza kwangu chovuniti kaseni muzindire hanze.
38 because I have come down out of Heaven, not that I may do My will, but the will of Him who sent Me.
Kakuti niva kezi hansi kukazwa kwi wulu, isiñi kwiza kupanga itato yangu, kono chasaka iye uzo yavaka ni tumi.
39 And this is the will of the Father who sent Me, that all that He has given to Me, I may lose none of it, but may raise it up in the last day;
Imi iyi nji tanto yakwe uzo yava kanitumi, kuti kanji ni zoverwa nangati yenke kwavo vonse vavanihi, kono kaniva vunse mwizuva lyama mani mani.
40 and this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who is beholding the Son, and is believing in Him, may have continuous life, and I will raise him up in the last day.” (aiōnios g166)
Kakuli iyi nje tanto ya Tayo, kuti yense yo vona Mwana ni kuzumina mwali mwave ni vuhalo vusa mani mi kanimu vunse mwi zuva lya ma mani-mani. (aiōnios g166)
41 The Jews, therefore, were murmuring at Him, because He said, “I AM the bread that came down out of Heaven”;
Cwale majunda chivatanga kukumbola kuamana naye kakuti avati, “Njeme ni nkonko iyo yaka zwa kwi wulu.”
42 and they said, “Is this not Jesus, the Son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have known? How then does this One say, I have come down out of Heaven?”
Chiva wamba, “Uzu kanjiyena Jesu mwana wa Josefa, uzo insi ni nyina tuve zi? Kwiza vule hape hanu kuti awambe, 'Nakazwa kwi wulu '?”
43 Jesus answered, therefore, and said to them, “Do not murmur with one another;
Jesu che tava ni kuvata, “Musiye kukumbola mukati kenu.
44 no one is able to come to Me if the Father who sent Me may not draw him, and I will raise him up in the last day;
Kakwina zumwi yo wola kukeza kwangu mbwita Tayo yava kanitumi hamu chuza, mi kani muvunse mwi zuva lyama mani-mani.
45 it is having been written in the Prophets: And they will all be taught of God; everyone, therefore, who heard from the Father, and learned, comes to Me;
Ku ñoletwe muma porofita, 'Yense karutiwe nji Ireeza. 'Yense yava zuwi ni kulituta kwa Tayo ukeza kwangu.
46 not that anyone has seen the Father, except He who is from God, He has seen the Father.
Kena kuti vonse vava voni Tayo, mbwita fera iye yokazwa kwe Ireeza- ava voni Tayo.
47 Truly, truly, I say to you, he who is believing in Me has continuous life; (aiōnios g166)
Chovu niti, niti, iye yo zumina wina vahalo vusa mani. (aiōnios g166)
48 I AM the bread of life;
Jeme ni nkonko yo vuhalo.
49 your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and they died;
Veshenu vavali maana mwi halaupa, mi vava mani kufwa.
50 this is the bread that is coming down out of Heaven, that anyone may eat of it, and not die.
Iyi nje nkonko ikeza hansi kukazwa kwi wulu, iri kuli muntu awole kulya yimwi kuili ni kusa fwa.
51 I AM the living bread that came down out of Heaven; if anyone may eat of this bread he will live—throughout the age; and the bread also that I will give is My flesh, that I will give for the life of the world.” (aiōn g165)
Jeme ni nkonko i hala iyo ikazwa kwi wulu. Haiva zumwi ulya kuili iyi nkonko, mwa hale kuya kuire. Inkonko iyo yete nihe inyama wangu kuvu halo vwe kanda.” (aiōn g165)
52 The Jews, therefore, were striving with one another, saying, “How is this One able to give us [His] flesh to eat?”
Majunda chiva venga mukati kavo vene niku tanga kukanana, nivati, Kuwoleka vule kuti uzu mukwame atuhe inyama wakwe kuti tulye?'
53 Jesus, therefore, said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, if you may not eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and may not drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves;
Cwale Jesu cha wamba kuvali, “Chovu niti, niti, kwanda yo kuti mulye inyama o Mwana o Muntu ni kunwa malaha akwe, kete muve ni vuhalo mwenu.
54 he who is eating My flesh, and is drinking My blood, has continuous life, and I will raise him up in the last day; (aiōnios g166)
Yense yolya inyama wangu ni kunwa malaha angu wina vuhalo vusa mani, mi kani muvuse mwizuvalya mamanikizo. (aiōnios g166)
55 for My flesh is truly food, and My blood is truly drink;
Kakuti inyama yangu chilyo che niti, mi malaha angu chinwiwa che niti.
56 he who is eating My flesh, and is drinking My blood, remains in Me, and I in him.
Iye yo lya inyama wangu ni kunwa malaha angu ushala mwangu, ni me mwali.
57 According as the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, he also who is eating Me, even that one will live because of Me;
Sina Tayo yo hala havaka ni tumi, mi sina hani hala ivaka lya Tayo, cwale iye yonilya, mwahale naye ivaka lyangu.
58 this is the bread that came down out of Heaven; not as your fathers ate the manna, and died; he who is eating this bread will live—throughout the age.” (aiōn g165)
Iyi nje nkonko ina yakeza hansi kukazwa kwi wulu, isiñi uvu veshenu vavali ni kufwa. Iye yo lya iyi nkonko mwahale kuya kuire.” (aiōn g165)
59 He said these things in a synagogue, teaching in Capernaum;
Kono Jesu avali kuwamba inzi zintu mwi sinangonge na kwete kuruta mwa Capenaume.
60 many, therefore, of His disciples having heard, said, “This word is hard; who is able to hear it?”
Cwale vungi vwava rutwana vakwe vava zuwi izi chiva ti, “Iyi ituto ikavo ahulu; jeni yo wola kuitambula?”
61 And Jesus having known in Himself that His disciples are murmuring about this, said to them, “Does this stumble you?
Jesu, kakuli avali kwizi mwali kuti varutwana vakwe vavali kukumbola heyi dava, chati kuvali, “Kana ichi chimi nyeza?
62 If then you may behold the Son of Man going up where He was before?
Cwale mukuve vule aho hasane kamuvone Mwana o Mutu nakambama kuta uko kwavali kwina sapilio?
63 It is the Spirit that is giving life; the flesh does not profit anything; the sayings that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life;
Luhuho luha vuhalo; inyama kakwina chi ivozekeza. Mazwi awo ani vawambi kwenu nga luhuho, mi go vuhalo.
64 but there are certain of you who do not believe”; for Jesus had known from the beginning who they are who are not believing, and who is he who will deliver Him up,
Imi kwina vamwi kwenu avo vasa zumini.”Kakuti Jesu avali kwinzi kuzwa kuma tangiro kuti mbani avo vate ni vakangwe kuzumina mi njeni uzo yate na muveteke.
65 and He said, “Because of this I have said to you, No one is able to come to Me if it may not have been given him from My Father.”
Cha wamba, “I vaka lyezi kuti na miwamba kwenu kuti kakwina zumwi yo wola kukeza kwangu mbwita haiva wa zumininwa kwa Tayo.”
66 From this [time] many of His disciples went away backward, and were no longer walking with Him,
Kevaka lyezi, vungi bwa varutwana chiva vola kumusiya mi kena vavazwiri havusu ni kumwi chilira.
67 Jesus, therefore, said to the Twelve, “Do you also wish to go away?”
Linu Jesu cha wamba kuvana ikumi ni tovere, “Inwe nanwe kamusaki kuyenda nanwe, musaka?”
68 Simon Peter, therefore, answered Him, “Lord, to whom will we go? You have sayings of continuous life; (aiōnios g166)
Simoni Pitorosi chamwi tava, “Simwine, njikwani kwete tuyende? Wina manzwi ovuhalo vusa mani, (aiōnios g166)
69 and we have believed, and we have known, that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
mi tuva zumini ni kwiza kwiziva kuti jewe yo Chena yenke we Ireeza.”
70 Jesus answered them, “Did I not choose you—the Twelve? And of you—one is a devil.”
Jesu cha wamba kuvali, “Kena kuti ni vamiketi, vena ikumi ni minwe yovere, imi zumwi kwenu ji diavulusi?”
71 And He spoke of Judas, [son] of Simon Iscariot, for he was about to deliver Him up, being one of the Twelve.
Hanu avali kuwamba kuama ni Judasi mwana wa Simoni Isikariyoti, kakuti ivali iye, omumwina kuvena ikumi ni tovere, kakuti ivali njiyena, uzo yatane veteke Jesu.
