John 6
1 Some time later, when Jesus was in Galilee district, near the time of the Jewish Passover celebration, Jesus went [with us disciples by boat] and crossed to another place along Galilee Lake. This lake is [also called] Tiberias Lake.
Kimal nile imone, Yesu uni wa nya udu uleli uwul kurawa Ngalili, na ikuru idin yiccu kunin kurawa Tibariya.
2 A large crowd of people kept following Jesus [on land] because they had been seeing the miracles he performed [by healing] sick people.
Ligozin nanit gbardang wa din dortughe, bara iwa yenje imon ile na awa suzu anan tikonu.
3 Jesus went up on the hillside and sat down with [us] disciples [to teach us].
Yesu wa ghana kitene likup asoku ligowe nin nono katwa me.
4 Then he looked up and saw a great crowd of people coming toward him.
(Kubin paska, u idi na Yahudawa wa dak susut.)
5 He said to Philip, “Where will we buy food for all these people to eat?”
Na Yesu wa yene ligozin nanit gbardang din cinu udak kitime, a woro Filibus ku, “Tima seru imonli nweri alele nan leo?”
6 He asked this only to find out if Philip believed what [Jesus could do], because Jesus already knew what he himself was going to do.
(Yesu wa belli nani anan dumuna Filibus ku, bara ame wa yiru imon ile na ama su.)
7 Philip replied to him, “[Even if we had] the amount of money a man earns in eight months, that would not be enough to buy bread so that each person could have a little bit!”
Filibus kawa ghe aworo, “ufungal nisulai akalt aba ma batunu nwo kogha mine bat wang ba.”
8 Another one of [us] disciples, Andrew, who was Simon Peter’s [younger] brother, said to Jesus,
Umong nanya nono katwa we, Andrawus, gwanan Simon, woro Yesu ku.
9 “There is a boy here who has five small barley loaves and two [cooked] fish. But (they will not help much among so many people!/what good will that do among so many people?) [RHQ]”
“nkan gono di kikane nin fugal utaun, a ibo iba, ilele mati inyaghari nanya nanit gbardang nene?”
10 Jesus said, “Tell the people to sit down!” There was plenty of grass there, so they all sat down [comfortably]. There were about 5,000 men [among the crowd].
Yesu woro,”Tan anite iso kutyen.”(ukpi ushifi wadi kitene gbardang) Anite so kutyen, ngbardang mine wa durun amui ataun.
11 Then Jesus took the small loaves and the fish and thanked [God] for them. Then he [gave them to us, and we] distributed the small loaves and the fish to all the people sitting on the ground. [Because God caused the food to keep increasing], everyone ate as much as they wanted.
Yesu yauna uffugale, na ata nlira, a koso alenge na iwa sosin. Akuru akoso ibowe nanere, kogha se cot liburi me.
12 When everyone had all the food they wanted, he said to [us] disciples, “Gather up the pieces that are left over. Do not let anything be wasted!”
Na anite wa shito, aworo nono katwa me, “pitirnon ngisi nagire na alawa, bara imoimong wa nana.”
13 So we gathered up the pieces of the small loaves that were left over by those who had eaten. We filled twelve baskets with those pieces!
I pitirno vat, ikulo akuzun likure nin nagisin nfungal utaunne, ngisin nagir na lenge na ileo.
14 After the people saw that miracle that Jesus had performed, [many of] them started to say, “Surely this is the prophet [like Moses] that [God promised] to send to the world!”
Na anite in yene imon ilenge na asu, i woro, “kidegenere, ulengenere unan liru nin nu Kutelle ulenge na ama dak nanya inyi.”
15 So, because Jesus realized that they were about to come and seize him to make him [their] king, he left them again and went up into the hills by himself.
Na Yesu wa yinin idi nin su ikufoghe nin likara iterughe tigo, anuzu nanya mine likire aghana likup usanme.
16 When it was evening, [we] disciples went down to [Galilee] Lake.
Na kulele nta, nono katwa me tolo udu kurawa.
17 When it became dark and Jesus had still not joined us, [we] got into a boat and went across the lake towards Capernaum [city].
Ipira nanya nzirgin nmyen, itunna ncin nya kurawe cindu Ukafarnahum. (kiti wadi kimal siru na Yesu wadi asa da kitimine ba.)
18 A strong wind started to blow and caused the water (to become very rough/to have high waves).
Koni kube, ufunu likara wadi, nmyen kurawe tunna nfituzu nin likara.
19 After we had rowed (three or four miles/five or six kilometers), we saw Jesus coming near the boat; he was walking on the water! So we were terrified!
N a isu ucin nafo timel titat sa tinas, idi yene Yesu ku din cin kitenen nmyene ucin dak kitimine nanya nzirge fiu kifo nani.
20 But he said to us, “Do not be afraid! It is I!”
Atunna aworo nani, “Menghari! Na iwa lanza fiu ba.”
21 We were glad to take him into the boat. As soon as [we] did that, the boat reached the shore where [we] were going!
Itunna iyinna a pira uzirge, na nin molu kubi ba iduru kiti kanga na idin cinu udue.
22 The next day the crowd of people that had stayed on the other side of the lake [were perplexed about how Jesus had left that area]. They knew that there had been only one boat there [the previous day]. They knew that we had gone away in it by ourselves. They knew that Jesus had not gone with us.
Ukurtunun kwuiye, ligozin nanit na iwa yissin nleli kurawe yene na umong uzirgi duku ba, urum unere cas, ulele tutung na Yesu wa piru ku nin nono katwa me ba, nono katwawere cas wa nya usanminu.
23 Then some [men came] from Tiberias [city] in boats. [They were hoping to take some of the crowd back to Tiberias]. They arrived near the place where the people had eaten the food after Jesus had given thanks [and caused it to multiply].
Nton tizirgi da unuzun Tibariya susut nin kiti kanga na ini leo imonleku, kimalin tin liran Ncikilare.
24 When the crowd realized that neither Jesus nor we disciples were there, [some of] them got into those boats and they sailed to Capernaum to find Jesus.
Na ligozine wa yinni nwo, Yesu sa nono katwa me na iwa di kite ba, inung atimine pira nanya tizirge i nya udu u Kafarnahum udun pizirun Yesu ku.
25 When they found him [in Capernaum] further around the lake, they asked him, “Teacher, [since you(sg) did not come in a boat], when [and how] did you get here?”
Na iseghe ileli uwul kurawe, I woroghe nenge, “Unan dursuzu niyerte, nin kome kubiari uda kikane?”
26 Jesus replied to them, “Listen to this carefully: Do you know why you are looking for me? It is not because you saw [me perform] miracles [and as a result have realized who I really am]. No! You are looking for me [only] because you had plenty of bread to eat [after I provided it for you by performing a miracle].
Yesu kawa nani aworo, “kidegenere ipizarai, na bara iyene imon izikiki ba, bara ina lii ufungal ishito.
27 Stop desiring food that will soon spoil! Instead, desire to get [spiritual] food that will last forever! Yearn for eternal life! That is what I, the one who came from heaven, will give you. God [my] Father has shown that he approves of me [enabling me to do that].” (aiōnios g166)
Sunan katwa nimoli ile na ima nanu, sun katwa nimonli ilenge na ima daudaunu udu ulai un sa ligan ulenge na usaun Nnit ma ni minu, bara Kutelle Ucif na malu uti ushaida me litime. (aiōnios g166)
28 Then the people asked him, “What things should we do [to please] God?”
Itunna i woroghe, “inyaghari tibasu tinan su nitwa Kutelle?”
29 Jesus replied, “What God [wants you] to do is this: He wants you to believe that [I am] the one he has sent.”
Yesu kawa a woro nani, katwa Kutelle kanin nere: Iyinin ni lenge na ame na tughe.”
30 So they said to him, “Then perform [another] miracle so that we may see it and believe that [you came from God]. What miracle would you like to perform?
I tunna i woroghe, “Uyapin ushaidari uma ti, arik nan yene, ti yinna nin fi?” Inyaghari umati?
31 Our ancestors ate the [food called] manna [that God provided for them by a miracle] in the desolate area. This is written {[The Psalmist] wrote this} [in the Scriptures] about [what Moses caused to happen: ] ‘He gave them food from heaven to eat.’ [Will you perform a miracle like that]?”
Acif bit wa lizu umanna nanya ntene, nafo na ina yertin, “Awa ni nani ufungal un nuzu kitene kani ili.”
32 So Jesus said to them, “The truth is that it was not Moses who gave your [ancestors] that food from heaven. No, it was my Father [who gave it to them. And my Father is the one] who gives you the true food from heaven.
Yesu tunna a kawa nani, “Kidegenere, na Musari wa niminu ufungal un nuzu kitene Kutelle ba, Ucif nigha ulenge na adin nizu minu ufungal kidegen un nuzu kitene Kutelle.
33 The true bread from God came down from heaven, and he is the one who will give [eternal] life to [the people of] the world [MTY].”
Bara ufungal Kutelle unin nare ulenge na udin tolusu unucu kitene Kutelle uniz uyi ulai.”
34 [Not understanding what he meant], they said to him, “Sir, give us that kind of bread all the time!”
I woroghe nenge, “Cikilari, niza nari ufungal une ko kome kubi.”
35 Jesus said to them, “[Just like] food [MET] [sustains physical life], I am the [one who enables you to have spiritual] life. Those who [eat ordinary food and drinks will later be hungry and thirsty]. But those who come to me [to receive that life] will never again [lack anything spiritually].
Yesu woro nani, “Menghari ufungal un laiye, ulenge na ada kitining na aba lanzu kukpong ba. Ulenge na ayinna nin mi, aba lanzu ukotu nayi ba.
36 I told you before that you have seen my [miracles, but after seeing them, instead of understanding who I am], you have not believed in me.
Nani, nbelin minu nenge, imal yeni, vat nani na iyinna ba.
37 All the people that [my] Father entrusts to me will come to me, and I will certainly (welcome/never send away) [LIT] anyone who comes to me.
Vat nalenge na Ucife nayi, ima dak kitininghe, ame ulenge na ada kitinighe, na nwasa nkoghe ba.
38 When I came down from heaven, it was not to do what I want. Instead, I came to do what ([God/my Father]), who sent me, wants.
Bara meng na dak unuzu kitene Kutelle, na nda su imon litinin ba, se nsu imon ilenge na ana tuyi nsu.
39 What the one who sent me wants is that I (keep forever all/never lose any) [LIT] of those whom he has entrusted to me. He wants me to cause all of them to become alive again (on the last day/on the day [when I judge everyone]) [MTY].
Ilengenere imon ile na ana tuyi mun, nworu nenge vat nalenge na ana ni, na iwa wultun unit urum ku ba, na ida fya nani vat liri nimalin.
40 [Long ago in the desolate area when those who were bitten by snakes looked at the bronze replica of a snake, they were healed] [MET]. What my Father wants is that [similarly] everyone who looks at [what] I [have done] and believes in me will have eternal life. I will cause them to become alive again (on the last day/on the day [when I judge everyone]) [MTY].” (aiōnios g166)
Bara kadura Ncifere kane, vat nlenge na ayene usaune, amini yinna ninghe, ama se ulai un sa ligan; Meng tutung ma fyughe liri nimalin. (aiōnios g166)
41 The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] began to grumble about him because he said, “I am the one who is [like] true bread who came down from heaven.”
Adidya na Yahudawa tunna icizina ugbondulu kitene me bara na ani woro, “Menghere ufungal ulenge na una nuzu kitene Kutelle.”
42 They said, “(This man is Jesus, the son of Joseph!/Isn’t this man the son of Joseph?) [RHQ] We know [the names of] both his father and his mother. [He certainly did not come from heaven], so (he is [lying] by saying ‘I came from heaven.’/why is he now saying, ‘I came from heaven?’) [RHQ]”
I woro, “Na ulengenere Yesu Usaun Yusufu ba, na ucife nin nene arika na tiyiru nani ba? Inyizari aworo, 'Nna dak unuzu kitene Kutelle'?”
43 Jesus replied to them, “Stop grumbling among yourselves [about what I just said]!
Yesu kawa a woro nani, “Sunan ugbondulu nanya nati mine.
44 [My] Father, who sent me, makes people want to come to me. No others will come to me [to receive eternal life]. Those who come to me are the only ones who will believe in me. I will (cause them to be alive again/raise them [from the dead]) (on the last day/on the [judgment] day).
Na umong unit wasa a da kiti ning ba se Ucife ulenge na ana tuyi nwunghe, Meng tutung ma fyughe liri nimali.
45 It was written ([by one of the prophets/by the prophet Isaiah]) {([One of the prophets/The prophet Isaiah]) wrote} [about all those who will trust in me], ‘God will teach them all.’ Everyone who listens to what [my] Father [says] and learns from him will (come to/believe in) me.
Imone di nya niyerte nanan liru nin nu Kutelle, 'Vat mine Kutelle ma dursuzu nani' Vat nlenge na a lanza amini massa kiti Ncife ma dak kitining.
46 I came from God. I am the only one who has seen [my] Father. No one else has seen him.
Na iworo umong name yenu Ucife ba, se ame ulenge na ana nuzu kiti Kutelle, amere na yene ucife.
47 Listen to this carefully: Everyone who believes ([my message/in me]) has eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Kidegenere, ame ulenge na ayinna adi nin lai nsali ligan. (aiōnios g166)
48 [Just like] food [MET] [sustains your physical life], I am the [one who enables you to have spiritual] life.
Menghari ufugal nlai.
49 Even though your ancestors ate the manna [while they were traveling] in the desolate area, they died [anyway].
Acif mine wa li ufungal nanya ntene inani wa kuzu.
50 But the bread [I am talking about] is something that came down from heaven. If people eat that bread, their [spirits] will never die.
Ulengenere ufungal ulenge na una dak unuzu kitene Kutelle, bara unit uleng na leo nanya nin na awa kuba.
51 I am the one who came down from heaven to enable people to have [spiritual] life. If people take what I will give them, they will live forever. What I will give them is my flesh, which I will give to [all the people in] [MTY] the world in order that they may have [spiritual] life.” (aiōn g165)
Menghari ufungal un lai ulenge na una tolu unuzu kitene Kutelle. Asa umong nleo nanya nfungal ulele, ama ti ulai un sa ligang. Ufungal ulenge na mma ni kidowo nighari bara ulai in yii.” (aiōn g165)
52 Then the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] began to argue among themselves. They said, “(There is no way this man can give us his flesh to eat!/How can this man give us his flesh to eat?)” [RHQ]
A Yahudawa lanza ayi nanya mine itunna icizina umusu, idi du, “inyizari unit ulele ma ninari inawa me tili?”
53 So, [speaking figuratively of the need for them to accept for themselves the benefits of his sacrificing himself and shedding his blood to atone for their sins] [MET], Jesus said to them, “Listen carefully to this: [Although] I am the one who came from heaven, if you do not eat my flesh and drink my blood, you will not have eternal life.
Yesu tunna a woro nani, “Kidegenere, se ileo inawa Nsaun Nnit, isono nmyi me, andi na nani ba na ima yitu nin lai nati mine ba.
54 Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will cause them to become alive again at (the last day/the [judgment] day), (aiōnios g166)
Vat nlenge na aleo inawa ning, asono nmyi ning adi nin lai un sa ligan, meng tutung ma fiwughe liri nimalin. (aiōnios g166)
55 because my flesh and my blood are truly spiritual food.
Inawa ning innare imonli kidegen, nmyi ning minnare nmyen kidegen
56 Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood will have a close relationship with me, and I will have a close relationship with them.
Ulenge na aleo inawa ning, asono nmyi nin, ama so nanya ning, a meng nanya me.
57 [My] Father, who is the [source of everything that] lives, sent me, and I live because [my] Father has [given me life]. Similarly those who eat my [flesh] will live [eternally] because of what I [do for them].
Nafo na Ucif un lai na tuyi, tutung nafo na meng di bara Ucif, nanere nanere ulenge na aleyi, nanere wang ama ti ulai bara meng.
58 [I am] the true bread that came down from heaven. Although our ancestors ate [manna], they [later] died [anyway]. But those who eat this bread will live forever.” (aiōn g165)
Ulelere ufungal ulenge na una tolu unuzu kitene Kutelle, na imusun nilenge na acifi mine wa li ikuzu ba. Ame ulenge na aleo ufungal ulele mati ulai sa ligang.” (aiōn g165)
59 He said this while he was teaching people in (the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place) in Capernaum.
Yesu wa belli ule ulire nanya kutyi nlira, kube na awa din dursuzu nanit in Kafarnahum.
60 After they heard him say that, many of his disciples said, “What he is teaching is hard [to understand]; (it is very difficult for anyone to accept it!/how can anyone accept it?) [RHQ]”
Gbardang nanyan nono katwa me na iwa lanza nani, i woro, “Ulenge udursuzu kite dinin nijasi kang; ghari ma yinnu mu?”
61 Jesus was aware that his disciples were grumbling about it, so he said to them, “(I am sorry that this is offending you./Is this offending you?) [RHQ]
Yesu, bara awa yinnin nanya me nono katwa me din gbondilu lire, aworo nani, “ule ulire mati minu idiuwa?
62 ([Perhaps you will believe my message] if you see me, the one who came from heaven, ascending [there] to where I was before!/[(What will you think if you see me], the one who came from heaven, ascending [there] to where I was before)?) [RHQ]
Uma nin yittu inyiziari asa iyene Usaun Nnit din ghanu ukpillu kiti kanga na awa yita ku?
63 [God’s] Spirit is the one who gives people [eternal] life. Human efforts are no help at all [for giving people eternal life]. The message I have spoken to you [gives spiritual] life (OR, [comes from] God’s Spirit [and gives eternal] life.)
Uruhu unere din nizu ulai. Kidowo din kpizunu imonimon ba. Ulire nan su minu, Uruhari, tutung ulaiyari.
64 But there are some of you who do not believe [my message.” Jesus said that] because he knew from the time he started [MTY] [his ministry] which of them would not believe his message. He also knew who would (betray him/enable his enemies to seize him).
Vat nani among mine duku na isa yinna ba.” Bara Yesu wa yiru tun nin cizine alenga na iyinna ba, a ayiro tutung ulenge na ama lewughe.
65 Then he continued by saying, “That is why I told you that only those whom my Father has enabled [to believe in me] will come to me [and receive eternal life].”
Aworo nani, “Bara nanere nta nbellin minu, na umong wasa ada kitining ba andi na Ucif nyininghe mun ba.”
66 From that [time], many of his disciples left him and no longer went with him.
Kimal nani, gbardang nono katwa me kpilla, na i kuru i cina ninghe ba.
67 So he said to [us] twelve [apostles], “You do not want to leave me also, do you?”
Yesu woro nono katwa me likure nin nan wabe, “Anung wang di ninsu i nyawa?”
68 Simon Peter replied to him, “Lord, [we] will not [leave you], [because] (there is no other person [like you] to whom we can go!/what other person is there like [you] to whom we can go?) [RHQ] You have the message about eternal life! (aiōnios g166)
Simon Bitrus kawaghe aworo, “Cikilari, kitin ghari tiba du? Fere dinin liru lai saligaghe, (aiōnios g166)
69 We have come to believe for certain that you are the holy one [who has come] from God!”
arik ani na yining, tinani na dak tiyinno fere unit ulau Kutelle.”
70 Then Jesus replied to us, “[You are saying that as though all] you twelve [men] whom I have chosen [RHQ] believe that. But one of you is [under the control of] Satan!”
Yesu woro nani, “Na mere na fere minu likure ba, umong mine uni di kugbergenu ba?”
71 He was talking about Judas, the [son] of Simon, from Kerioth [village]. [Even though] Judas was one of us twelve [apostles], he was about (to betray Jesus/to enable Jesus’ enemies to seize him).
Awa di nliru litin Yahuda, Usaun Simon Iskaroti, bara amere wadi, umong nanya likure na ama lewughe.
