John 6
1 After these things Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, which is [the sea] of Tiberias.
Emva kwalezizinto uJesu wasuka waya ngaphetsheya kolwandle lweGalili, lweTiberiyasi.
2 And a great multitude followed him, because they beheld the signs which he did on them that were sick.
Laselimlandela ixuku elikhulu, ngoba babebone izibonakaliso zakhe azenza kulabo abagulayo.
3 And Jesus went up into the mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.
UJesu wasesenyukela entabeni, wahlala phansi khona labafundi bakhe.
4 Now the passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand.
Iphasika, umkhosi wamaJuda, laselisondele.
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?
Kwathi uJesu ephakamisa amehlo, wasebona ixuku elikhulu lisiza kuye, wathi kuFiliphu: Sizathenga ngaphi izinkwa, ukuze laba badle?
6 And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.
Njalo watsho lokhu emhlola, ngoba yena wayekwazi azakwenza.
7 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one may take a little.
UFiliphu wamphendula wathi: Izinkwa zabodenariyo abangamakhulu amabili zingebanele, ukuthi wonke ngamunye wabo azuze ingcosana.
8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, saith unto him,
Omunye wabafundi bakhe, uAndreya umfowabo kaSimoni Petro, wathi kuye:
9 There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two fishes: but what are these among so many?
Kukhona umfanyana lapha, olezinkwa ezinhlanu zebhali lenhlanzana ezimbili; kodwa ziyini kwabanengi kangaka?
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.
Kodwa uJesu wathi: Hlalisani abantu phansi. Kwakukhona utshani obunengi kuleyondawo. Ngakho amadoda ahlala phansi inani lawo lalingaba zinkulungwane ezinhlanu.
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.
UJesu wasezithatha izinkwa, esebongile wazinika abafundi, labafundi kulabo ababehlezi phansi; ngokunjalo lenhlanzana ngangokufuna kwabo.
12 And when they were filled, he saith unto his disciples, Gather up the broken pieces which remain over, that nothing be lost.
Bathi sebesuthi, wathi kubafundi bakhe: Buthani imvuthu eziseleyo, ukuze kungachitheki lutho.
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.
Basebebutha, bagcwalisa izitsha ezilitshumi lambili ngemvuthu zezinkwa ezinhlanu zebhali, ezasalayo kulabo abadlayo.
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.
Kwathi lababantu bebona isimangaliso asenzileyo uJesu, bathi: Ngeqiniso lo nguye umProfethi omele ukuza emhlabeni.
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.
Kwathi uJesu esazi ukuthi bazakuza bambambe ngamandla, ukumbeka abe yinkosi, wabuyela futhi entabeni yena eyedwa.
16 And when evening came, his disciples went down unto the sea;
Sekuhlwile, abafundi bakhe behlela elwandle,
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.
sebengenile emkhunjini, beza ngaphetsheya kolwandle ukuya eKapenawume. Kwasekumnyama, uJesu wayengafikanga kubo.
18 And the sea was rising by reason of a great wind that blew.
Lwaseluvuka ulwandle ngoba umoya olamandla wawuvunguza.
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.
Sebegwedlile amastadiyu angaba ngamatshumi amabili lanhlanu kumbe amatshumi amathathu, babona uJesu ehamba phezu kolwandle, esondela emkhunjini; basebesethuka.
20 But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.
Kodwa wathi kubo: Yimi, lingesabi.
21 They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat: and straightway the boat was at the land whither they were going.
Basebevuma ukumemukela emkhunjini; njalo wahle wafika umkhumbi elizweni ababesiya kilo.
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
Kusisa ixuku elalimi ngaphetsheya kolwandle, libona ukuthi kwakungela lamunye umkolo lapho ngaphandle kwalowo ababengene kuwo abafundi bakhe, lokuthi uJesu wayengangenanga emkolweni labafundi bakhe, kodwa abafundi bakhe babehambe bodwa,
23 (howbeit there came boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks):
kodwa eminye imikolo evela eTiberiyasi yafika eduze lendawo lapho ababedle khona isinkwa, emva kokuthi iNkosi isibongile;
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.
ngakho ixuku selibonile ukuthi uJesu wayengekho lapho loba abafundi bakhe, bangena labo emikhunjini, bafika eKapenawume, bedinga uJesu.
25 And when they found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
Bathi sebemtholile ngaphetsheya kolwandle, bathi kuye: Rabi, ufike nini lapha?
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.
UJesu wabaphendula wathi: Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kini: Liyangidinga, kungeyisikho ukuthi labona izibonakaliso, kodwa ngoba ladla izinkwa lasutha.
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)
Lingasebenzeli ukudla okuphelayo, kodwa ukudla okuhlala kuze kube yimpilo elaphakade, ezalinika khona iNdodana yomuntu; ngoba yena uNkulunkulu uYise umphawulile. (aiōnios g166)
28 They said therefore unto him, What must we do, that we may work the works of God?
Basebesithi kuye: Sizakwenzani, ukuze senze imisebenzi kaNkulunkulu?
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
UJesu waphendula wathi kubo: Lo ngumsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, ukuze likholwe kulowo yena amthumileyo.
30 They said therefore unto him, What then doest thou for a sign, that we may see, and believe thee? what workest thou?
Ngakho bathi kuye: Pho wena wenza isibonakaliso bani, ukuze sibone sikholwe kuwe? Usebenzani?
31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.
Obaba bethu badla imana enkangala, njengokulotshiweyo ukuthi: Wabanika isinkwa esivela ezulwini ukuthi badle.
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.
UJesu wasesithi kubo: Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kini: UMozisi kalinikanga isinkwa esivela ezulwini; kodwa uBaba ulinika isinkwa soqobo esivela ezulwini.
33 For the bread of God is that which cometh down out of heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
Ngoba isinkwa sikaNkulunkulu singuye owehla evela ezulwini esinika impilo emhlabeni.
34 They said therefore unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
Basebesithi kuye: Nkosi, sinike lesosinkwa njalonjalo.
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.
UJesu wasesithi kubo: Mina ngiyisinkwa sempilo; lowo oza kimi, kasoze alambe; lalowo okholwa kimi, kasoze ome lakanye.
36 But I said unto you, that ye have seen me, and yet believe not.
Kodwa ngithe kini: Lani lingibonile, kodwa kalikholwa.
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.
Bonke uBaba anginika bona bazakuza kimi; lozayo kimi angisoze ngimxotshele phandle.
38 For I am come down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
Ngoba ngehlile ezulwini, hatshi ukuthi ngenze intando yami, kodwa intando yalowo ongithumileyo.
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.
Lalokhu kuyintando kaBaba ongithumileyo, ukuze konke anginike khona, ngingalahlekelwa lutho kikho, kodwa ngikuvuse ngosuku lokucina.
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)
Lalokhu kuyintando yongithumileyo, ukuthi wonke obona iNdodana njalo akholwe kuyo, abe lempilo elaphakade, njalo mina ngizamvusa ngosuku lokucina. (aiōnios g166)
41 The Jews therefore murmured concerning him, because he said, I am the bread which came down out of heaven.
Ngalokho amaJuda akhonona ngaye, ngoba wathi: Mina ngiyisinkwa esehla sivela ezulwini.
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?
Athi-ke: Lo kayisuye yini uJesu indodana kaJosefa, uyise lonina thina esibaziyo? Pho yena utsho njani, ukuthi: Ngehle ngivela ezulwini?
43 Jesus answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.
UJesu wasephendula wathi kuwo: Lingakhononi phakathi kwenu.
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.
Kakho ongeza kimi, ngaphandle kokuthi uBaba ongithumileyo amdonse, njalo mina ngizamvusa ngosuku lokucina.
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.
Kulotshiwe kubaprofethiukuthi: Njalo bonke bazafundiswa nguNkulunkulu. Ngakho wonke ozwileyo ngoBaba wafunda, uyeza kimi.
46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is from God, he hath seen the Father.
Kayisikho ukuthi ukhona obone uBaba, ngaphandle kwakhe ovela kuNkulunkulu, yena umbonile uBaba.
Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kini: Okholwayo kimi, ulempilo elaphakade. (aiōnios g166)
48 I am the bread of life.
Mina ngiyisinkwa sempilo.
49 Your fathers did eat the manna in the wilderness, and they died.
Oyihlo badla imana enkangala, futhi bafa;
50 This is the bread which cometh down out of heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
lesi yisinkwa esehla sivela ezulwini, ukuze umuntu adle okwaso angafi.
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)
Mina ngiyisinkwa esiphilayo, esehla sivela ezulwini; uba umuntu esidla lesisinkwa, uzaphila ephakadeni. Njalo lesinkwa mina engizasinika, siyinyama yami, mina engizayinikela impilo yomhlaba. (aiōn g165)
52 The Jews therefore strove one with another, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
AmaJuda asephikisana esithi: Lo angasinika njani inyama yakhe siyidle?
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.
Ngakho uJesu wathi kuwo: Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kini: Ngaphandle kokuthi lidle inyama yeNdodana yomuntu linathe igazi layo, kalilampilo phakathi kwenu.
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)
Odla inyama yami anathe igazi lami, ulempilo elaphakade, njalo mina ngizamvusa ngosuku lokucina. (aiōnios g166)
55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
Ngoba inyama yami iyikudla oqotho, legazi lami lingokunathwayo oqotho.
56 He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood abideth in me, and I in him.
Odla inyama yami anathe igazi lami, uhlala kimi, lami kuye.
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.
Njengalokhu uBaba ophilayo engithumile, lami ngiphila ngoBaba; ngakho ongidlayo, laye uzaphila ngami.
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)
Lesi yisinkwa esehla sivela ezulwini; akunjengaboyihlo abadla imana, sebafa; odla lesisinkwa, uzaphila okulaphakade. (aiōn g165)
59 These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
Watsho lezizinto esinagogeni efundisa eKapenawume.
60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they heard [this], said, This is a hard saying; who can hear it?
Kwathi abanengi kubafundi bakhe besizwa bathi: Lilukhuni lelilizwi; ngubani ongalizwa?
61 But Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said unto them, Doth this cause you to stumble?
Kodwa uJesu esazi phakathi kwakhe ukuthi abafundi bakhe bayasola ngalokhu, wathi kubo: Lokhu kuyalikhuba yini?
62 [What] then if ye should behold the Son of man ascending where he was before?
Pho, lizathini uba libona iNdodana yomuntu isenyukela lapho eyayikhona kuqala?
63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I have spoken unto you are spirit, and are life.
KunguMoya ophilisayo, inyama kayisizi lutho; amazwi mina engiwakhuluma kini, angumoya njalo ayimpilo.
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.
Kodwa bakhona abanye kini abangakholwayo. Ngoba uJesu wayekwazi kusukela ekuqaleni, ukuthi ngobani abangakholwayo, lokuthi ngubani ozamnikela.
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.
Wasesithi: Kungenxa yalokhu ngithe kini: Kakho ongeza kimi, ngaphandle kokuthi ekunikwe nguBaba.
66 Upon this many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
Kusukela lapho abanengi babafundi bakhe babuyela emuva, kababe besahamba laye.
67 Jesus said therefore unto the twelve, Would ye also go away?
UJesu wasesithi kwabalitshumi lambili: Lani lithanda ukuzihambela yini?
68 Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
USimoni Petro wasemphendula wathi: Nkosi, sizakuya kubani? Amazwi empilo elaphakade akuwe, (aiōnios g166)
69 And we have believed and know that thou art the Holy One of God.
njalo thina siyakholwa, sesisazi ukuthi wena unguKristu iNdodana kaNkulunkulu ophilayo.
70 Jesus answered them, Did not I choose you the twelve, and one of you is a devil?
UJesu wabaphendula wathi: Mina kangilikhethanga yini lina abalitshumi lambili, kodwa omunye wenu ungudiyabhola?
71 Now he spake of Judas [the son] of Simon Iscariot, for he it was that should betray him, [being] one of the twelve.
Wayekhuluma ngoJudasi Iskariyothi kaSimoni; ngoba nguye owayezamnikela, engomunye wabalitshumi lambili.
