John 6
1 After these things, Jesus went to the other side of the sea of Galilee or of Tiberias.
Mgbe nke a gasịrị, Jisọs gafere nʼofe nke ọzọ nke osimiri Galili (nke a na-akpọkwa osimiri Tiberịas).
2 And great multitudes went after him; because they had seen the signs which he wrought upon the sick.
Oke igwe mmadụ sooro ya, nʼihi na ha hụrụ ọrụ ebube ọ na-arụ nʼahụ ndị ọrịa.
3 And Jesus ascended a mountain, and there he seated himself with his disciples.
Jisọs rigooro nʼelu ugwu nọdụ ala ya na ndị na-eso ụzọ ya.
4 And the feast of the Jewish passover was near.
Nʼoge a, mmemme oriri Ngabiga ndị Juu na-abịa nso.
5 And Jesus raised his eyes, and saw a great multitude coming towards him; and he said to Philip: Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?
Mgbe Jisọs leliri anya elu hụ oke igwe mmadụ na-abịakwute ya, ọ sịrị Filip, “Olee ebe anyị ga-azụta achịcha ndị a ga-ata?”
6 And this he said, to try him; for he knew what he was about to do.
Ọ jụrụ nke a naanị iji nwalee ya, ya onwe ya mararị ihe ọ ga-eme.
7 Philip said to him: Two hundred denarii in bread would not suffice them, that each might take but a little.
Filip zara ya, “Ụgwọ ọrụ ọnwa isii agaghị ezu ịzụta achịcha nke onye ọbụla nʼime ha ga-atatụ naanị ihe ntakịrị.”
8 One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Cephas, said to him:
Onye ọzọ nʼime ndị na-eso ụzọ ya bụ Andru, nwanne Saimọn Pita, kwupụtara,
9 There is a lad here, who hath with him five cakes of barley, and two fishes; but what are these for all those people?
“Otu nwantakịrị nwoke nọ nʼebe a nwere ogbe achịcha balị ise, na azụ abụọ, ma gịnị ka ha bụ nʼetiti igwe mmadụ ha otu a?”
10 Jesus said to them: Make all the people recline. Now there was much grass in that place: and the people reclined, in number five thousand.
Jisọs sịrị, “Meenụ ka ndị mmadụ ndị a nọdụ ala.” E nwere ọtụtụ ahịhịa nʼebe ahụ, ụmụ nwoke nọdụrụ ala, ha dị ihe ruru puku mmadụ ise.
11 And Jesus took the bread, and blessed, and distributed to them that reclined. And so also, with the fish; as much as they desired.
Ya mere, Jisọs weere achịcha ahụ nye ekele, kee ha ndị niile nọdụrụ ala dị ka ha sịrị chọọ. O jikwa azụ ahụ mee otu ihe ahụ.
12 And when they were satisfied, he said to his disciples: Gather up the fragments which remain, that nothing be lost.
Mgbe ha niile rijuchara afọ, ọ sịrị ndị na-eso ụzọ ya, “Tụtụkọtanụ iberibe niile fọdụrụ, ka ihe ọbụla hapụ ịla nʼiyi.”
13 And they collected and filled twelve baskets, with fragments of what remained to them that had eaten of the five barley cakes.
Ya mere, ha tụtụkọtara ha, kpojuo nkata iri na abụọ, bụ iberibe si nʼogbe achịcha balị ise nke ndị ahụ rifọrọ.
14 And those people, when they saw the sign which Jesus had wrought, said: Certainly, this is that prophet who was to come into the world.
Mgbe ndị mmadụ ahụ hụrụ ihe ịrịbama ahụ, o mere ha bidoro na-asị, “Nʼeziokwu, onye a bụ onye amụma ahụ nke ga-abịa nʼime ụwa.”
15 And Jesus knew, that they were about to come and take him by force, and make him king: and he retired into a mountain alone.
Mgbe Jisọs matara na ha chọrọ ịbịa dọkpụrụ ya nʼike chie ya eze, ọ hapụrụ ha ga nʼugwu naanị ya, nʼonwe ya.
16 And when it was evening, his disciples went down to the sea,
Mgbe o ruru nʼuhuruchi, ndị na-eso ụzọ ya rịdara gaa nʼọnụ mmiri,
17 and sat in a ship, and were going over to Capernaum. And darkness came on, and Jesus had not come to them.
ebe ha banyere nʼotu ụgbọ mmiri, malite ịgabiga osimiri gawa nʼofe Kapanọm. Nʼoge a ọchịchịrị agbaala ma Jisọs alọghachikwutebeghị ha.
18 And the sea was boisterous against them, for a violent wind was blowing.
Ebili mmiri maliri elu nʼihi nʼoke ifufe bidoro na-efe.
19 And they had gone about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, when they saw Jesus walking upon the sea: and as he drew near to the ship, they were afraid.
Ha akwọọla ụgbọ ihe dịka kilomita ise maọbụ isii, mgbe ha hụrụ Jisọs ka ọ na-aga ije nʼelu mmiri ahụ na-abịa nso nʼụgbọ mmiri ha. Oke egwu tụkwara ha.
20 But Jesus said to them: It is I; be not afraid.
Ma ọ sịrị ha, “Unu atụla egwu. Ọ bụ m.”
21 And they were glad to receive him into the ship. And, directly, the ship was at the land to which they were going.
Mgbe ahụ, ha nabatara ya nʼime ụgbọ ahụ, ọ dịkwaghị anya ụgbọ ha bịaruru nʼelu ala ebe ha na-aga.
22 And the next day, the multitude, who had remained on the other side of the sea, saw that there was no other ship there, except that in which the disciples embarked, and that Jesus did not embark in that ship with his disciples;
Nʼechi ya, igwe mmadụ ahụ nọdụrụ nʼofe ọzọ nke ọnụ mmiri ahụ chọpụtara na ọ bụ naanị otu ụgbọ mmiri nta bịara nʼebe ahụ, na Jisọs esoghị ndị na-eso ụzọ ya banye nʼime ya, kama na ọ bụ naanị ndị na-eso ụzọ ya ka ụgbọ mmiri ahụ buuru pụọ.
23 yet that other ships had come from Tiberias, near to the place where they ate the bread when Jesus blessed it.
Mgbe ahụ ụfọdụ ụgbọ mmiri si Tiberịas bịara kwụsị nso nso ebe ahụ ndị mmadụ nọ rie achịcha mgbe Onyenwe anyị nyechara ekele maka ya.
24 And when the multitude saw, that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples; they embarked in ships, and came to Capernaum, and sought for Jesus.
Ma mgbe igwe mmadụ ahụ ghọtara na Jisọs na ndị na-eso ụzọ ya anọghị nʼebe ahụ, ha banyere nʼụgbọ mmiri nta ndị ahụ kwọfee gawa Kapanọm ịchọ Jisọs.
25 And when they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him: Our Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
Mgbe ha hụrụ ya nʼofe ọzọ nke osimiri ahụ, ha sịrị ya, “Onye ozizi, olee mgbe i jiri bịa nʼebe a?”
26 Jesus replied and said to them: Verily, verily, I say to you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the signs, but because ye ate the bread and were satisfied.
Jisọs sịrị ha, “Nʼezie, nʼezie agwa m unu, ihe unu ji na-achọ m abụghị nʼihi na unu hụrụ ihe ịrịbama m mere, kama na unu riri achịcha rijuokwa afọ.
27 Labor not for the food that perisheth, but for the food that abideth unto life eternal, which the Son of man will give to you; for him hath God the Father sealed. (aiōnios g166)
Unu adọgbula onwe unu maka nri nke na-emebi emebi, kama maka nri nke na-adịgide ruo ndụ ebighị ebi, bụ nke Nwa nke Mmadụ ga-enye unu. Nʼihi na Chineke Nna akakwasịla ya akara nkwado ya.” (aiōnios g166)
28 They said to him: What shall we do, in order to work the works of God?
Mgbe ahụ, ha sịrị, “Gịnị ka anyị ga-eme iji rụọ ọrụ Chineke?”
29 Jesus replied and said to them: This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
Jisọs zara sị ha, “Ọrụ Chineke bụ nke a, ikwere nʼonye ahụ o zitere.”
30 They say to him: What sign doest thou, that we may see and believe in thee? What workest thou?
Ya mere ha sịrị ya, “Olee ihe ịrịbama ị ga-egosi anyị nke anyị ga-ahụ ma kwere na gị? Kedụ ọrụ ị ga-arụ?
31 Our fathers ate the manna, in the wilderness; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
Nna nna anyị ha riri mánà nʼọzara; dị ka e dere ya nʼakwụkwọ nsọ sị, ‘O sitere nʼeluigwe nye ha achịcha ka ha rie.’”
32 Jesus said to them: Verily, verily, I say to you, Moses gave you not the bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the real bread from heaven.
Jisọs sịrị ha, “Nʼezie, nʼezie agwa m unu, ọ bụghị Mosis nyere unu achịcha ahụ site nʼeluigwe, kama ọ bụ Nna m na-enye unu ezi achịcha ahụ site nʼeluigwe.
33 For the bread of God is, he that came down from heaven, and giveth life to the world.
Nʼihi na achịcha Chineke bụ nke ahụ si nʼeluigwe rịdata, na-enyekwa ụwa ndụ.”
34 They say to him: Our Lord, give us at all times this bread.
Ha sịrị ya, “Nna anyị ukwu, nye anyị ụdị achịcha a site ugbu a gawa.”
35 Jesus said to them: I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me, shall not hunger; and he that believeth on me, shall not thirst, for ever.
Jisọs sịrị ha, “Abụ m achịcha ahụ na-enye ndụ. Onye ọbụla na-abịakwute m, agụụ agaghị agụ ya. Onye ọbụla kwa kweere na m, akpịrị agaghị akpọ ya nkụ.
36 But I said to you, That ye have seen me, and do not believe.
Ma agwa m unu, unu ahụla m ma unu ekweghịkwa.
37 All that my Father gave me, will come to me: and him, that cometh to me, I will not cast out.
Onye ọbụla Nna ahụ nyere m ga-abịakwute m, onye ọbụla na-abịakwute m, agaghị m achụpụ ya.
38 For I came down from heaven, not to do my own pleasure, but the pleasure of him that sent me.
Nʼihi na esi m nʼeluigwe rịdata nʼụwa ime uche onye ahụ zitere m, ọ bụghị ime uche nke m.
39 And this is the pleasure of him that sent me, that whatever he hath given me, I should lose nothing of it, but should raise it up at the last day.
Nke a bụkwa uche onye ahụ zitere m, na o nweghị onye ọbụla o nyere m ga-efunarị m, kama m ga-eme ka ha site nʼọnwụ bilie nʼụbọchị ikpeazụ.
40 For this is the pleasure of my Father, 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)
Nke a bụ uche nke Nna m, na onye ọbụla lere Ọkpara ahụ anya, kwerekwa na ya ga-enweta ndụ ebighị ebi, m ga-emekwa ka o bilie nʼụbọchị ikpeazụ.” (aiōnios g166)
41 Then the Jews murmured at him, because he said: I am the bread, who have descended from heaven.
Nʼihi nke a, ndị Juu bidoro itamu ntamu megide ya nʼihi na ọ sịrị, “Abụ m achịcha ahụ siri nʼeluigwe rịdata.”
42 And they said: Is not this Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? And how doth he say: I came down from heaven?
Ha sịrị, “Onye a ọ bụghị Jisọs, nwa Josef, bụ onye anyị matara nne na nna ya? Oleekwanụ otu o si ekwu ugbu a sị, ‘Esi m nʼeluigwe rịdata’?”
43 Jesus replied and said to them: Murmur not, one with another.
Jisọs zara sị ha, “Unu atamula nʼetiti onwe unu.
44 No man can come to me, unless the Father who sent me, shall draw him; and I will raise him up at the last day.
O nweghị onye nwere ike ịbịakwute m ma ọ bụghị na Nna ahụ zitere m kpọtara ya, aga m akpọlitekwa ya nʼụbọchị ikpeazụ.
45 For it is written, in the prophet: And they shall all be taught of God. Whoever, therefore, heareth from the Father, and learneth from him, cometh to me.
E dere ya nʼakwụkwọ ndị amụma, ‘Ha niile ga-abụ ndị Chineke ga-akụziri ihe.’Onye ọbụla nke gere Nna ahụ ntị ma mụtakwa ihe site na ya na-abịakwute m.
46 Not that any one hath seen the Father, except him who hath come from God; he it is, hath seen the Father.
O nweghị onye ọbụla hụrụla Nna ahụ karịakwa onye ahụ sitere na Chineke, naanị ya hụrụla Nna ahụ.
47 Verily, verily, I say to you: That, to him who believeth in me, there is life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
Nʼeze, nʼezie agwa m unu, onye ọbụla kwerenụ nwere ndụ ebighị ebi. (aiōnios g166)
48 I am the bread of life.
Abụ m achịcha nke ndụ.
49 Your fathers ate the manna, in the wilderness, and they died.
Nna nna unu ha riri mánà ahụ nʼime ọzara ma mecha nwụọ.
50 But this is the bread which cometh from heaven, that a man may eat of it, and not die.
Ma nke a bụ achịcha ahụ nke si nʼeluigwe bịa, nke mmadụ pụrụ iri ma ghara ịnwụ anwụ.
51 I am the bread of life, who have come down from heaven: and if a man shall eat of this bread, he will live for ever. And the bread which I shall give, is my body, which I give for the life of the world. (aiōn g165)
Abụ m achịcha dị ndụ nke siri nʼeluigwe bịa. Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla erie achịcha a, ọ ga-adị ndụ ruo ebighị ebi. Nri a bụ anụ ahụ m, nke m ga-enye maka ndụ nke ụwa.” (aiōn g165)
52 Then the Jews contended one with another, and said: How can he give us his body to eat?
Mgbe ahụ, ndị Juu bidoro na-arụrịta ụka ike nʼetiti onwe ha sị, “Olee otu nwoke a ga-esi nye anyị anụ ahụ ya ka anyị rie?”
53 And Jesus said to them: Verily, verily, I say to you, That, unless ye eat the body of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life within you.
Jisọs sịrị ha, “Nʼezie, nʼezie agwa m unu, naanị ma unu riri anụ ahụ Nwa nke Mmadụ ma ṅụọkwa ọbara ya, unu agaghị enwe ndụ nʼime onwe unu.
54 But he that eateth of my body, and drinketh of my blood, to him is life eternal; and I will raise him up at the last day (aiōnios g166)
Onye ọbụla riri anụ ahụ m, ṅụọkwa ọbara m nwere ndụ ebighị ebi. A ga m akpọlitekwa ya nʼụbọchị ikpeazụ ahụ. (aiōnios g166)
55 For my body truly is food, and my blood truly is drink.
Nʼihi na anụ ahụ m bụ ezigbo nri, ọbara m bụkwa ezigbo ihe ọṅụṅụ.
56 He that eateth my body, and drinketh my blood, abideth in me, and I in him
Onye ọbụla na-eri anụ ahụ m na-aṅụkwa ọbara m na-anọgide nʼime m mụ onwe m kwa nʼime ya.
57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live because of the Father; so he that shall eat me, he also will live because of me.
Dị ka Nna ahụ dị ndụ zitere m, ana m adịkwa ndụ nʼihi Nna ahụ, otu a ka onye na-eri m ga-adịkwa ndụ site na m.
58 This is the bread that came down from heaven: not as your fathers ate the manna, and died; whoever shall eat of this bead, will live for ever. (aiōn g165)
Nke a bụ achịcha ahụ si nʼeluigwe bịa. Nna nna unu ha riri mánà ma nwụkwaa, ma onye ọbụla na-eri achịcha a ga-adị ndụ ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.” (aiōn g165)
59 These things he uttered in the synagogue, while teaching at Capernaum.
O kwuru ihe ndị a mgbe ọ na-akụzi ihe nʼụlọ ekpere dị na Kapanọm.
60 And many of his disciples who heard him, said: This is a hard speech, who can hear it.
Mgbe ọtụtụ nʼime ndị na-eso ụzọ ya ha nụrụ nke a, ha sịrị, “Nke a bụ ozizi siri ike, onye nwere ike ịnabata ya?”
61 And Jesus knew in himself, that his disciples murmured at this; and he said to them, Doth this stumble you?
Ebe Jisọs matara na ndị na-eso ụzọ ya na-atamu ntamu maka nke a ọ sịrị ha, “Nke a ọ na-ewute unu?
62 If then, ye were to see the Son of man ascend, to where he was from the beginning!
Gịnị ka unu ga-ekwu ma ọ bụrụ na unu ahụ Nwa nke Mmadụ ka ọ na-arịgo ebe ọ nọrịị na mbụ.
63 It is the Spirit that vivifieth; the body profiteth nothing. The words which I have used with you, they are spirit, and they are life.
Ọ bụ Mmụọ ahụ na-enye ndụ; anụ ahụ abaghị uru ọbụla, okwu ndị m gwara unu bụ mmụọ bụrụkwa ndụ.
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 would betray him.
Ma nʼetiti unu, ọ dị ụfọdụ na-ekwenyeghị.” Nʼihi na Jisọs maara site na mmalite ndị ahụ nʼime ha na-ekwenyeghị, matakwa onye ahụ nke ga-arara ya nye.
65 And he said to them: For this reason, I said to you, That no one can come to me, unless it be given to him by my Father.
Ọ sịrị, “Ọ bụ nke a mere m jiri gwa unu na o nweghị onye ọbụla nwere ike ịbịakwute m ma ọ bụrụ na Nna m enyeghị ya ike.”
66 On account of this speech, many of his disciples turned back, and walked not with him.
Nʼihi nke a, ọtụtụ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya laghachiri azụ, kwụsị iso ya.
67 And Jesus said to the twelve: Are ye also disposed to go away?
Jisọs sịrị mmadụ iri na abụọ ahụ, “Unu chọkwara iso ha pụọ?”
68 Simon Cephas replied, and said: My Lord, to whom shall we go? The words of life eternal are with thee. (aiōnios g166)
Saimọn Pita zara ya sị, “Onyenwe anyị, onye ka anyị ga-agakwuru? Ọ bụ gị ji okwu nke ndụ ebighị ebi. (aiōnios g166)
69 And we believe, and know, that thou art the Messiah, the Son of the living God.
Anyị kweere marakwa na ị bụ Onye Nsọ nke Chineke.”
70 Jesus said to them: Have not I chosen you twelve? Yet one of you is a devil.
Jisọs zara ha, “Ọ bụghị m họpụtara unu mmadụ iri na abụọ? Ma otu onye nʼime unu bụ ekwensu!”
71 This he spoke of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon; for he was afterwards to betray him, being one of the twelve.
Ọ na-ekwu banyere Judas nwa Saimọn Iskarịọt, onye nʼagbanyeghị na ọ bụ otu nʼime mmadụ iri na abụọ ahụ, bụ onye ga-arara ya nye.
