John 6
1 After these things Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, which is [the sea] of Tiberias.
Sima na yango, Yesu akendeki na ngambo mosusu ya ebale ya Galile oyo babengaka mpe ebale ya Tiberiade.
2 And a great multitude followed him, because they beheld the signs which he did on them that were sick.
Bato ebele bazalaki kolanda Ye mpo ete bazalaki komona bikamwa oyo azalaki kosala na banzoto ya babeli.
3 And Jesus went up into the mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.
Yango wana Yesu amataki na ngomba mpe avandaki kuna elongo na bayekoli na Ye.
4 Now the passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand.
Nzokande Pasika, feti ya Bayuda, ekomaki pene.
5 Jesus therefore lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a great multitude cometh unto him, saith unto Philip, Whence are we to buy bread, that these may eat?
Tango Yesu atombolaki miso, amonaki ebele ya bato penza koya epai na Ye; alobaki na Filipo: — Tokosomba mapa wapi mpo na koleisa bato oyo nyonso?
6 And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.
Yesu atunaki Filipo motuna oyo mpo na komeka ye mpe kotala soki akoloba nini, pamba te Ye, Yesu, ayebaki makambo oyo alingaki kosala.
7 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one may take a little.
Filipo azongiselaki Yesu: — Mapa oyo tokoki kosomba na mbongo ya bibende nkama mibale ekokoka te mpo ete moto moko na moko kati na bango azwa eteni ya lipa!
8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, saith unto him,
Moko kati na bayekoli na Ye, oyo kombo na ye ezali Andre, ndeko mobali ya Simona Petelo, alobaki na Ye:
9 There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two fishes: but what are these among so many?
— Ezali awa na elenge mobali moko oyo azali na mapa mitano basala na bambuma ya orje, mpe bambisi mibale; kasi yango ekosala nini mpo na ebele ya bato oyo?
10 Jesus said, Make the people sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
Yesu apesaki bango mitindo: — Boloba na bato nyonso ete bavanda. Boye, lokola ezalaki na matiti ebele na esika yango, bavandaki. Ezalaki wana na mibali pene nkoto mitano.
11 Jesus therefore took the loaves; and having given thanks, he distributed to them that were set down; likewise also of the fishes as much as they would.
Bongo Yesu azwaki mapa yango, azongisaki matondi epai ya Nzambe mpe akabolaki yango epai ya bato oyo bazalaki wana; asalaki mpe bongo na bambisi: bato bazwaki kolanda ndenge posa na bango ezalaki.
12 And when they were filled, he saith unto his disciples, Gather up the broken pieces which remain over, that nothing be lost.
Sima na bato kolia mpe kotonda, Yesu alobaki na bayekoli na Ye: — Bosangisa biteni oyo etikali mpo ete eteni moko te ebeba.
13 So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves, which remained over unto them that had eaten.
Basangisaki biteni yango; mpe na biteni ya mapa mitano basala na bambuma ya orje, oyo etikalaki na maboko ya bato oyo baliaki, batondisaki bitunga zomi na mibale.
14 When therefore the people saw the sign which he did, they said, This is of a truth the prophet that cometh into the world.
Tango bato bamonaki bikamwa oyo Yesu awutaki kosala, balobaki: « Azali penza Mosakoli oyo asengelaki koya na mokili. »
15 Jesus therefore perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force, to make him king, withdrew again into the mountain himself alone.
Kasi, lokola Yesu ayebaki ete bazali na makanisi ya kokamata Ye mpo na kokomisa Ye mokonzi, abendanaki lisusu na ngomba mpo ete azala kaka Ye moko.
16 And when evening came, his disciples went down unto the sea;
Tango pokwa ekomaki, bayekoli na Ye bakitaki na ebale
17 and they entered into a boat, and were going over the sea unto Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.
epai wapi bamataki na bwato moko, bakatisaki ebale mpo na kokende na Kapernawumi, na ngambo mosusu ya ebale. Butu ekotaki, wana Yesu amikomelaki nanu te epai bango bakomaki.
18 And the sea was rising by reason of a great wind that blew.
Ekumbaki moko ebandaki kopepa, mpe mayi ya ebale etombokaki.
19 When therefore they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they behold Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the boat: and they were afraid.
Awa basilaki koluka nkayi na molayi ya bakilometele pene mitano to motoba, bamonaki Yesu kotambola likolo ya mayi ya ebale mpe kopusana pene ya bwato; somo makasi ekangaki bango.
20 But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.
Kasi Yesu alobaki na bango: « Kimia! Kimia! Bobanga te! Ezali Ngai! »
21 They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat: and straightway the boat was at the land whither they were going.
Balingaki kokotisa Yesu na bwato, kasi, mbala moko, bwato etutaki mabele ya esika oyo bazalaki kokende.
22 On the morrow the multitude which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save one, and that Jesus entered not with his disciples into the boat, but [that] his disciples went away alone
Mokolo oyo elandaki, bato oyo batikalaki na ngambo mosusu ya ebale bayaki kokanisa na sima ete ezalaki kaka na bwato moko, mpe ete Yesu akendeki bwato moko te na bayekoli na Ye; bayekoli bakendeki bango moko kaka.
23 (howbeit there came boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks):
Nzokande, babwato mosusu ewutaki na Tiberiade mpe ekomaki pene ya esika oyo baliaki mapa sima na Nkolo kozongisa matondi epai ya Nzambe.
24 when the multitude therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they themselves got into the boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.
Tango bato bamonaki ete, ezala Yesu to bayekoli na Ye, moko te azalaki lisusu wana, bamataki na babwato yango mpe bakendeki koluka Yesu, na Kapernawumi.
25 And when they found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
Tango bakutaki Ye na ngambo mosusu ya ebale, batunaki Ye: — Rabi, okomaki awa tango nini?
26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw signs, but because ye ate of the loaves, and were filled.
Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: soki bozali koluka Ngai, ezali kaka mpo ete boliaki mapa mpe botondaki, kasi ezali te mpo ete bomonaki bikamwa.
27 Work not for the meat which perisheth, but for the meat which abideth unto eternal life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him the Father, [even] God, hath sealed. (aiōnios g166)
Bosalaka te mpo na bilei oyo ebebaka, kasi bosalaka mpo na bilei oyo ewumelaka mpo na bomoi ya seko, bilei oyo Mwana na Moto akopesa bino; pamba te ezali Ye nde Nzambe Tata abeta kashe. (aiōnios g166)
28 They said therefore unto him, What must we do, that we may work the works of God?
Batunaki Ye lisusu: — Tosengeli kosala nini mpo na kokokisa misala oyo Nzambe azali kozela epai na biso?
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Mosala ya Nzambe, yango oyo: bondima Ye oyo Nzambe atindaki.
30 They said therefore unto him, What then doest thou for a sign, that we may see, and believe thee? what workest thou?
Batunaki Ye lisusu: — Elembo nini ya kokamwa okolakisa biso mpo ete tondima Yo? Okosala penza nini?
31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.
Bakoko na biso baliaki mana kati na esobe kolanda ndenge ekomama: « Apesaki bango lipa kowuta na Likolo. »
32 Jesus therefore said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, It was not Moses that gave you the bread out of heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread out of heaven.
Kasi Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: ezali Moyize te moto apesaki bino lipa oyo ezalaki kowuta na Likolo, kasi ezali Tata na Ngai nde apesaka bino lipa ya solo oyo ewutaka na Likolo.
33 For the bread of God is that which cometh down out of heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
Pamba te lipa ya Nzambe ezali Ye oyo akiti wuta na Likolo mpe apesaka mokili bomoi.
34 They said therefore unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
Bongo balobaki na Ye: — Nkolo, pesaka biso lipa yango tango nyonso.
35 Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall not hunger, and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Ngai nazali lipa oyo epesaka bomoi. Moto nyonso oyo akoya epai na Ngai akoyoka lisusu nzala te, mpe moto nyonso oyo akondima Ngai akoyoka lisusu posa ya mayi te.
36 But I said unto you, that ye have seen me, and yet believe not.
Nzokande, ndenge nayebisaki bino, bozali komona Ngai, kasi bozali kondima te.
37 All that which the Father giveth me shall come unto me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
Bato nyonso oyo Tata apesi Ngai bakoya epai na Ngai, mpe nakobengana soki moke te moto nyonso oyo akoya epai na Ngai.
38 For I am come down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
Pamba te soki nakitaki wuta na Likolo, ezali te mpo na kosala mokano na Ngai moko, kasi mpo na kokokisa mokano ya Ye oyo atindaki Ngai.
39 And this is the will of him that sent me, that of all that which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day.
Nzokande, Ye oyo atindaki Ngai alingi ete nabungisa ata moto moko te kati na bato oyo apesaki Ngai, kasi nasekwisa bango na mokolo ya suka.
40 For this is the will of my Father, that every one that beholdeth the Son, and believeth on him, should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. (aiōnios g166)
Pamba te mokano ya Tata na Ngai ezali ete moto nyonso oyo amoni Mwana mpe andimi Ye azwa bomoi ya seko; mpe, Ngai, nakosekwisa ye na mokolo ya suka. (aiōnios g166)
41 The Jews therefore murmured concerning him, because he said, I am the bread which came down out of heaven.
Bayuda bakomaki koyimayima na tina na Ye mpo ete alobaki: « Ngai, nazali lipa oyo ekiti wuta na Likolo. »
42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how doth he now say, I am come down out of heaven?
Bakomaki koloba: — Boni, wana ezali Yesu te? Ezali mwana mobali ya Jozefi te? Toyebi malamu tata mpe mama na ye! Bongo ndenge nini azali koloba: « Nawuti na Likolo? »
43 Jesus answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.
Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Botika koyimayima kati na bino!
44 No man can come to me, except the Father which sent me draw him: and I will raise him up in the last day.
Moto moko te akoki koya epai na Ngai soki Tata oyo atindaki Ngai abendi ye te; mpe Ngai, nakosekwisa ye na mokolo ya suka.
45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall all be taught of God. Every one that hath heard from the Father, and hath learned, cometh unto me.
Tala ndenge ekomama kati na mikanda ya Basakoli: « Nzambe akoteya bango nyonso. » Boye moto nyonso oyo ayokaka Tata mpe ayambaka mateya na Ye ayaka epai na Ngai.
46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is from God, he hath seen the Father.
Moto moko te amona Tata, longola kaka Ye oyo ayaki wuta epai ya Nzambe.
Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: moto oyo andimi azali na bomoi ya seko, (aiōnios g166)
48 I am the bread of life.
pamba te nazali lipa oyo epesaka bomoi.
49 Your fathers did eat the manna in the wilderness, and they died.
Bakoko na bino baliaki mana kati na esobe mpe bakufaki,
50 This is the bread which cometh down out of heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
kasi botala lipa oyo ewuti na Likolo; moto oyo akolia yango akokufa te.
51 I am the living bread which came down out of heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: yea and the bread which I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world. (aiōn g165)
Ngai nde nazali lipa ya bomoi oyo ewuti na Likolo; moto nyonso oyo akolia lipa yango, akozala na bomoi ya seko; mpe lipa oyo nakopesa mpo ete mokili ezwa bomoi ezali nde nzoto na Ngai. (aiōn g165)
52 The Jews therefore strove one with another, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
Tango Bayuda bayokaki bongo, bakomaki kotiana tembe; bazalaki koloba: — Akopesa biso nzoto na ye ndenge nini mpo ete tolia yango?
53 Jesus therefore said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, ye have not life in yourselves.
Bongo Yesu alobaki na bango: — Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: soki bolie nzoto ya Mwana na Moto te mpe bomeli makila na Ye te, bozali na bomoi te kati na bino.
54 He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. (aiōnios g166)
Moto oyo alie nzoto na Ngai mpe ameli makila na Ngai, azali na bomoi ya seko; mpe Ngai, nakosekwisa ye na mokolo ya suka. (aiōnios g166)
55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
Pamba te nzoto na Ngai ezali penza bilei, mpe makila na Ngai ezali penza lokola mayi oyo bamelaka.
56 He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood abideth in me, and I in him.
Moto oyo alie nzoto na Ngai mpe ameli makila na Ngai azali kati na Ngai, mpe Ngai nazali kati na ye.
57 As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father; so he that eateth me, he also shall live because of me.
Ndenge Tata oyo atindaki Ngai azali etima ya bomoi mpe Ngai nazali na bomoi na nzela na Ye, ndenge wana mpe moto oyo alie nzoto na Ngai akozala na bomoi na nzela na Ngai.
58 This is the bread which came down out of heaven: not as the fathers did eat, and died: he that eateth this bread shall live for ever. (aiōn g165)
Tala ndenge lipa oyo ewuti na Likolo ezali: ekokani te na mana oyo bakoko na bino baliaki, kasi bakufaki kaka; nzokande, moto oyo akolia lipa oyo Ngai nazali akozala na bomoi ya seko. (aiōn g165)
59 These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
Wana nde ezalaki mateya ya Yesu kati na ndako ya mayangani ya Kapernawumi.
60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they heard [this], said, This is a hard saying; who can hear it?
Sima na koyoka Ye, bayekoli mingi ya Yesu balobaki: — Mateya oyo ezali makasi mingi, nani akoki kondima yango?
61 But Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said unto them, Doth this cause you to stumble?
Yesu asosolaki ete bayekoli na Ye bazalaki koyimayima na tina na yango; alobaki na bango: — Boni, maloba oyo ebetisi bino mabaku?
62 [What] then if ye should behold the Son of man ascending where he was before?
Bongo ekozala ndenge nini soki bomoni Mwana na Moto kozonga epai Ye azalaki liboso?
63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I have spoken unto you are spirit, and are life.
Ezali Molimo nde apesaka bomoi; mosuni ezali na eloko te. Maloba oyo nalobi na bino ezali Molimo mpe bomoi.
64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who it was that should betray him.
Kasi bato mosusu kati na bino bazali kondima te. Solo, wuta na ebandeli, Yesu ayebaki banani bazalaki kondima te, mpe nani akoteka Ye.
65 And he said, For this cause have I said unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it be given unto him of the Father.
Alobaki lisusu: — Yango wana nalobaki na bino: « Moto moko te akoki koya epai na Ngai soki epesameli ye te na Tata. »
66 Upon this many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
Banda na tango wana, bayekoli na Ye mingi bazongaki mpe batikaki kolanda Ye.
67 Jesus said therefore unto the twelve, Would ye also go away?
Boye, Yesu alobaki na bantoma zomi na mibale: — Boni, bino mpe bolingi kokende?
68 Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Simona Petelo azongisaki: — Nkolo, tokokende epai ya nani? Yo nde ozali na maloba ya bomoi ya seko. (aiōnios g166)
69 And we have believed and know that thou art the Holy One of God.
Biso, tondimi mpe toyebi ete ozali Mosantu ya Nzambe.
70 Jesus answered them, Did not I choose you the twelve, and one of you is a devil?
Yesu alobaki na bango: — Boni, ezali Ngai te nde naponaki bino nyonso zomi na mibale? Nzokande, moko kati na bino azali Satana!
71 Now he spake of Judas [the son] of Simon Iscariot, for he it was that should betray him, [being] one of the twelve.
Yesu azalaki nde koloba na tina na Yuda, mwana mobali ya Simona Isikarioti, oyo, kati na bantoma zomi na mibale, asengelaki koteka Ye.
