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.
Hessafe guye, Yesuusi Xibaaryoosa giya Galiila Abbaafe hefinthi pinnis.
2 A large crowd of people kept following Jesus [on land] because they had been seeing the miracles he performed [by healing] sick people.
I hargganchchota pason oothida malaata be7ida gisho, daro asay iya kaallidosona.
3 Jesus went up on the hillside and sat down with [us] disciples [to teach us].
Yesuusi deriya bolla keyidi, yan ba tamaaretara issife uttis.
4 Then he looked up and saw a great crowd of people coming toward him.
Ayhudeti bonchchiya Faasika Baale gallasay gakkis.
5 He said to Philip, “Where will we buy food for all these people to eat?”
Yesuusi daro asay baakko yeyssa be7idi Filiphphoosakko, “Ha asaa ubbaa muzanaw gidiya kathi awuppe shammanee?” yaagis.
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.
I hessa Filiphphoosa paaccanaw gisippe attin I ba huu7en ay oothaneekko erees.
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!”
Filiphphoosi zaaridi Yesuusakko, “Hari attoshin, Huu7en huu7en, issi issi barssi gathanaw, nam77u xeetu dinaaren uythu shamminkka gidenna” yaagis.
8 Another one of [us] disciples, Andrew, who was Simon Peter’s [younger] brother, said to Jesus,
Qassi Yesuusa tamaaretappe issoy, Simoon Phexiroosa ishay Inddiriyasi,
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]”
“Ichchashu bangga soollonne nam77u molo oykkida issi na7ay hayssan de7ees, shin ha asa ubbaas hessi ay maaddanee?” yaagis.
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].
Yesuusi ba tamaaretakko, “Asaa utisite” yaagis. He bessan daro maati de7ees; asay ubbay uttis. Adde asaa tayboy ichchashu mukulu gidana.
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.
Yesuusi uythaa ekkidi Xoossaa galati simmidi yan uttida asaas gishis. Moluwakka ekkidi hessada oothidi immin, asay ba koyidayssa mela mis.
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!”
Entti ubbay kallidaappe guye, Yesuusi ba tamaaretakko, “Issibaykka iitonna mela attida tiifiya shiishite” yaagis.
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!
Hessa gisho, entti ubbaa shiishidosona. Asay min attida bangga soollo tiifiya shiishidi tammanne nam77u gayta kunthidosona.
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!”
Asay Yesuusi oothida malaatata be7ida wode, “Hayssi tuma ha alamiya yaana geetettida nabiya” yaagidosona.
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.
Yesuusi entti iya oykkidi wolqqan kawo oothanaw haneyssa eridi, barkka deriya bolla zaari keyis.
16 When it was evening, [we] disciples went down to [Galilee] Lake.
Sa7ay omarssida wode Yesuusa tamaareti abbaako wodhdhidosona.
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].
Sa7ay qammida gishonne Yesuusi buroo enttako yiboonna gisho iya tamaareti wogolon gelidi abbaa pinnidi Qifirnahoome baanaw denddidosona.
18 A strong wind started to blow and caused the water (to become very rough/to have high waves).
Wolqqaama carkkoy carkkida gisho abbay qaaxxees.
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!
Ichchashu woykko usuppun kilo mitire gideyssa mela entti abbaa pidhidi bidaappe guye, Yesuusi abbaa bollara hamuttishe yeyssa be7idi yayyidosona.
20 But he said to us, “Do not be afraid! It is I!”
Shin I, “Babbofite, tana” yaagis.
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!
Entti ufayttidi iya wogoluwan gelssidosona; iirakka wogoloy entti biya abbaa gaxa gakkis.
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.
Wonttetha gallas abbaafe hefinthan attida daro asay issi wogolo xalaali de7eyssa be7idosona. Yesuusi ba tamaaretara wogoluwan gelidi, enttara boonnayssanne entti banttarkka bidayssa akeekidosona.
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].
Shin Xibaaryoosappe hara wogoloti Yesuusi Xoossaa galatin, asay uythaa mida bessaa yidosona.
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.
Asay Yesuusi woykko iya tamaareti yan baynnayssa be7idi, Yesuusa koyanaw wogolotan gelidi Qifirnahoome bidosona.
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?”
Asay Yesuusa abbaafe hefinthan demmida wode, “Asttamaariyaw, hayssa awude yadi?” yaagis.
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].
Yesuusi zaaridi, “Taani hinttew tuma odays; hintte tana koyey uythi midi kallida gishossafe attin malaata be7ida gishossa gidenna.
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)
Samiya kathas oothofite, shin merinaa de7o immiya kathas oothite. Xoossaa Aaway I oothana mela iyaw maata immida gisho he kathaa Asa Na7ay hinttew immana” yaagis. (aiōnios g166)
28 Then the people asked him, “What things should we do [to please] God?”
Yaatin entti, “Nuuni Xoossaa oosuwa oothanaw ay oothanee?” yaagidi Yesuusa oychchidosona.
29 Jesus replied, “What God [wants you] to do is this: He wants you to believe that [I am] the one he has sent.”
Yesuusi zaaridi, “Hintte oothana mela Xoossay koyaa oosoy hayssa: I kiittidayssa ammanite” yaagis.
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?
Entti zaaridi, “Nuuni be7idi, nena ammanana mela ay malaata ne bessanee? Ne ay oothanee?
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]?”
Geeshsha Maxaafan, ‘Entti maana mela uythu saloppe immis’ geetetti xaafettidayssada nu aawati bazzo biittan manna midosona” yaagidosona.
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.
Yesuusi, “Taani hinttew tuma odays; hinttew saloppe tuma uythaa immiday ta Aawappe attin Muse gidenna.
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].”
Hiza, Xoossay immiya uythay saloppe wodhdhidayssi alamiyas de7o immeyssa” yaagis.
34 [Not understanding what he meant], they said to him, “Sir, give us that kind of bread all the time!”
Entti zaaridi, “Godaw, nuus he uythaa ubba wode imma” yaagidosona.
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].
Yesuusi, “Taani de7o immiya uythaa; taakko yaa oonikka ubbaraka koshattenna. Qassi tana ammaniyaa uray ubbarakka saamottenna.
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.
Shin taani hinttew odas; hintte tana be7ideta, shin ammanekketa.
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.
Ta Aaway taw immiya ubbay taakko yaana; qassi taakko yaa oonakka kare yeddike.
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.
Taani ta koyabaa oothanaw gidonnashin tana kiittidayssi koyabaa oothanaw saloppe yas.
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].
Tana kiittidayssi koyey hayssa: taani I taw immida ubbatakka wurssetha gallas hayqoppe denthana melappe attin issuwaka dhayssana mela koyenna.
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)
Hiza, ta Aaway koyey hessa: Na7aa be7idi ammaniyaa ubbay merinaa de7uwa ekkana; taani he ubbaa wurssetha gallas merinaa de7os hayqoppe denthana” yaagis. (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.”
Yesuusi, “Taani saloppe wodhdhida uythaa” gida gisho, Ayhudeti iya bolla zuuzummidosona.
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]”
Entti, “Hayssi nuuni iya aawanne iya aayiw eriya Yoosefa Na7aa Yesuusa gidennee? Yaatin, I waanidi, ‘Taani saloppe wodhdhas’ gaanaw dandda7ii?” yaagidosona.
43 Jesus replied to them, “Stop grumbling among yourselves [about what I just said]!
Yesuusi zaaridi, “Issoy issuwara zuuzummeyssa aggite.
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).
Tana kiittida ta Aaway taakko ehiya asappe attin taakko yaanaw dandda7iya oonikka baawa. Taani wurssetha gallas iya merinaa de7os hayqoppe denthana.
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.
Nabeti, ‘Xoossay asa ubbaa tamaarssana’ yaagidi xaafidosona. Aawa si7eyssinne iyappe tamaariya oonikka taakko yees.
46 I came from God. I am the only one who has seen [my] Father. No one else has seen him.
Xoossaa matappe yidayssafe attin Aawa be7iday oonikka baawa; iya xalaali Aawa be7is.
47 Listen to this carefully: Everyone who believes ([my message/in me]) has eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
“Taani hinttew tuma odays; tana ammaniyaa oodeskka merinaa de7oy de7ees. (aiōnios g166)
48 [Just like] food [MET] [sustains your physical life], I am the [one who enables you to have spiritual] life.
Taani de7o immiya uythaa.
49 Even though your ancestors ate the manna [while they were traveling] in the desolate area, they died [anyway].
Hintte aawati bazzon manna midosona, shin hayqqidosona.
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.
Saloppe yaa uythay hayssa; he uythaa miya oonikka hayqqenna.
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)
Saloppe yida de7o uythay tana. Oonikka ha uythaa miikko merinaw daana. Qassi ha alamey de7on daana mela taani hinttew immana uythay ta ashuwa” yaagis. (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]
Ayhudeti, “Ha addey ba ashuwa nu maana mela nuus waattidi immanaw dandda7ii?” yaagidi bantta giddon palamidosona.
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.
Hessa gisho, Yesuusi enttako, “Taani hinttew tuma odays; Asa Na7aa ashuwa, hintte moonna ixxiko, qassi iya suuthaa hintte uyonna ixxiko, hinttew de7oy baawa.
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)
Ta ashuwa miya uraasinne ta suuthaa uyaa uraas merinaa de7oy de7ees. Taani wurssetha gallas iya hayqoppe denthana. (aiōnios g166)
55 because my flesh and my blood are truly spiritual food.
Ta ashoy tuma kathi; ta suuthaykka tuma ushshu.
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.
Ta ashuwa miya uraynne ta suuthaa uyaa uray tanan de7ees; takka iyan de7ays.
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].
De7o Aaway tana kiittin, taani iya baggara de7on de7eyssada, tana miya uraykka ta gaason de7on daana.
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)
Saloppe wodhdhida uythay hayssa: hintte aawati midi hayqqida manna mela gidenna; ha uythaa miya uray merinaw daana” yaagis. (aiōn g165)
59 He said this while he was teaching people in (the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place) in Capernaum.
Yesuusi Qifirnahoome kataman Ayhude Woosa Keethan hayssa tamaarssis.
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]”
Yesuusa tamaaretappe dariya baggay hessa si7ida wode, “Hayssi gelonna timirtte; hayssi oodes gelii?” yaagidosona.
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]
Yesuusi ba tamaareti hessas zuuzummidayssa eridi, “Hayssi hinttena dhubbi?
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]
Yaatin, Asa Na7ay kase de7iyasuwa pude keyishin hintte be7idi woyganddetii?
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.)
Geeshsha Ayyaanay de7o immees; asa wolqqi aykkoka maaddenna. Ta hinttew odiya qaalay de7o immiya Geeshsha Ayyaanaappe yees.
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).
Shin hintte giddon ammanonnayssati de7oosona” yaagis. Ammanonnayssati oonanteeko Yesuusi koyroppe doomidi erees. Qassi bana aathi immanay ooneekko erees.
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].”
Qassika Yesuusi, “Aaway ba goonna oonikka taakko yaanaw dandda7enna gada taani odiday hessa gishossa” yaagis.
66 From that [time], many of his disciples left him and no longer went with him.
Hessa gaason, Yesuusa kaalleyssatappe daroti iya aggidi guye simmidosona; zaari iya kaallibookkona.
67 So he said to [us] twelve [apostles], “You do not want to leave me also, do you?”
Yesuusi ba tammanne nam77u tamaaretakko, “Hintteka aggidi baanaw koyeetii?” yaagidi oychchis.
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)
Simoon Phexiroosi zaaridi, “Godaw, nuuni oodeko baanee? New merinaa de7o immiya qaalay de7ees. (aiōnios g166)
69 We have come to believe for certain that you are the holy one [who has come] from God!”
Neeni Xoossaa Geeshshaa gideyssa nuuni ammanoosinne eroos” yaagis.
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!”
Yesuusi enttako, “Taani hinttena tammanne nam77ata doorabiikkinaa? Shin hinttefe issoy Xalahe” yaagis.
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).
Yesuusi hessa giday Simoona Na7aa Asqoroota Yihudasa. Yihudi Yesuusa aathi immanaw de7iya tammanne nam77u tamaaretappe issuwa.
