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.
Ie añe, le nitsake i riake Galiliay (i atao Tiberiasiy) t’Iesoà,
2 A large crowd of people kept following Jesus [on land] because they had been seeing the miracles he performed [by healing] sick people.
naho norihe’ ty lahialeñe amy te nioni’ iereo o viloñe nanoe’e amo marareoo.
3 Jesus went up on the hillside and sat down with [us] disciples [to teach us].
Aa le nitroa-bohitse t’Iesoà vaho niharo fiambesatse amo mpiama’eo.
4 Then he looked up and saw a great crowd of people coming toward him.
An-titotse henane zay i Fihelañey, i sabadidak’ o Jiosioy.
5 He said to Philip, “Where will we buy food for all these people to eat?”
Ie niandra t’Iesoà, le nahaoniñe te nañarine aze i lahialeñey, le hoe re amy Filipo: Aia ty hikaloan-tika mofo hikamà’ o retoañe?
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.
Ty hitsok’ aze ty nanoa’e izay, fa niarofoana’e ty hanoe’e.
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!”
Tinoi’ i Filipo ty hoe: ty mofo azom-bogady roan’ jato tsy hahaeneñe iareo t’ie songa hangala falitse.
8 Another one of [us] disciples, Andrew, who was Simon Peter’s [younger] brother, said to Jesus,
Natovo’ i Andrea, mpiama’e, rahalahi’ i Simona Petera, ty hoe:
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]”
Atoañe ty ajajalahy ama’ mofo hordea lime naho fiañe kedekedeke roe, f’ie haha-inoñe ondaty maro iretoañe?
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].
Le hoe t’Iesoà: Ampiambesaro ondatio, (toe nisoa ahetse i toetsey). Aa le niambesatse ondatio—niha-lime arivo ty lahilahy.
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.
Rinambe’ Iesoà i mofo rey le nañandriañe vaho zinara’e amo mpiama’eo vaho nazotso’ o mpiama’eo amo niambesatseo; nanahake izay i fiañe rey; ndra fire-fire ty nipaiaeñe.
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!”
Ie nianjañe, le hoe re amo mpiama’eo: Atontòno o nisisa nifitafitao, soa tsy ama’e ty hianto.
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!
Aa le nahoro’ iereo vaho nahapea haron-kisetse folo ro’amby ami’ty tsy nirì’ o nikamao amy mofo hordea lime rey.
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!”
Ie niisa’ ondatio i viloñe nanoe’ Iesoày, le hoe iereo: Toe ie i mpitoky hizilik’ ami’ty voatse toy.
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.
Ie niarofoana’ Iesoà t’ie fa homb’eo hamihiñ’ aze an-tsenge hery hanao aze mpanjaka, le nivike indraike mb’am-bohitse mb’eo, ie raike.
16 When it was evening, [we] disciples went down to [Galilee] Lake.
Ie hariva, le nizotso mb’an-driake mb’eo o mpiama’eo,
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].
nijon-dakañe hitsake i riakey mb’e Kapernaome añe. Ie maieñe, le mboe tsy niheo mb’am’iereo ey t’Iesoà.
18 A strong wind started to blow and caused the water (to become very rough/to have high waves).
Nikabo-draha i riakey ami’ty habei’ i tioke nangofofokey.
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!
Aa ie fa nivey telopolo ndra roapolo-lim’ amby stadia, le naheo’ iereo te nandia ambone’ i riakey ey t’Iesoà nitotok’ i lakañey, vaho nianifañe.
20 But he said to us, “Do not be afraid! It is I!”
Aa hoe re tam’ iereo, Izaho ‘nio; ko hembañe.
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!
Aa le nino’ iereo ty handrambe aze an-dakañe ao vaho tafatsak’ amy zao amy nanandrifeañey i lakañey.
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.
Amy loak’ àndroy, le niisa’ i maro nijohañe alafen-driakey te tsy eo ty lakañe ila’e naho tsy i raike niharoa’ o mpiama’eo fijoñe vaho tsy nitrao-pijoñe amo mpiama’eo amy lakañey t’Iesoà, fa o mpiama’eo avao ty tao.
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].
(Toe nitoly marine’ i nikamà’ iareo mofo amy nañandriaña’ i Talèiy ty lakañe ila’e hirike Tiberiasy.)
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.
Aa ie nioni’ i màroy te tsy eo t’Iesoà naho o mpiama’eo, le nijon-dakañe ka, nitsake mb’e Kapernaome mb’eo hitsoeke Iesoà.
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?”
Ie nahaisak’ aze an-dafen-driake ey le nanoa’ iareo ty hoe: O Talè, mbia ty nitsaha’o atoy?
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].
Hoe ty natoi’ Iesoà: Itaroñako an-katò te, tsy o viloñe nioni’ areoo ty ipaia’ areo ahy, fa t’ie nikama amy mofoy vaho nianjañe.
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)
Ko ifanehafañe ty mahakama mete momoke, fa i mahakama mahatañe pak’an-kaveloñe nainai’ey, i toe hazotso’ i Ana’ ondatiy, fa ie ty vinoli-tombohen’ Añahare Rae. (aiōnios g166)
28 Then the people asked him, “What things should we do [to please] God?”
Le hoe ty asa’ iareo tama’e: Inoñe ty hanoe’ay hitoloñe amo tolon-drahan’ Añahareo?
29 Jesus replied, “What God [wants you] to do is this: He wants you to believe that [I am] the one he has sent.”
Hoe ty natoi’ Iesoà: Zao ty fitoroñañe an’Andrianañahare, te hatokisa’ areo i nahitri’ey.
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?
Aa le hoe iereo tama’e: Ino ty viloñe hatoro’o, hahaisaha’ay, hiantofa’ay azo? Inoñe ty ho toloñe’o?
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]?”
Nikama mana an-dratraratra añe o roae’aio, amy pinatetse ty hoe: Nanjotsoa’e mofo boak’ andindìñe añe hikama’ iereo.
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.
Le hoe t’Iesoà tam’ iereo: Eka! to t’itaroñako te, tsy i Mosè ty nanjotso i mofo boak’ andindìñe añey, fa i Raeko ro mpanjotso ty toe mofo hirik’ andikerañe ao.
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].”
I mofon’ Añaharey, le i nizotso boak’ andindìñe añe manolo-kaveloñe ami’ty voatse toiy.
34 [Not understanding what he meant], they said to him, “Sir, give us that kind of bread all the time!”
Le hoe iereo tama’e, O Talè, azotsò ama’ay nainai’e o mofo zao.
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].
Hoe t’Iesoà tam’ iereo: Izaho o mofon-kaveloñeo, tsy ho saliko ka ze mitotok’ ahy vaho tsy ho taliñiereñe ka ze miato amako.
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.
Fa hoe ty nanoako, toe nahaisake ahy nahareo fe tsy mañaoñe.
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.
Hene homb’amako ze atolon-dRaeko ahy vaho tsy ho farieko ka ze momb’amako.
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.
Le tsy nivotrake boak’ andindìñe ao iraho hanao ty satriko, fa ty satri’ i nañitrik’ Ahiy.
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].
Inao ty satrin-dRae nañirak’ ahy, te leo raike amy ze hene natolo’e, tsy hapoke, fa hatroako amy andro honka’ey.
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)
Zao ty satrin’ arofo’ i nañitrik’ ahiy, te songa hanan-kaveloñe nainai’e ze miisake i Anakey naho miato ama’e; le izaho ty hañonjoñe aze amy andro honka’ey. (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.”
Niñeoñeoñe ama’e o Tehodao, ty amy asa’e ty hoe: Izaho i mofo nizotso hirik’andindìñe eiy,
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]”
le hoe iereo: Tsy Iesoà, ana’ Iosefe v’itia, ie fohin-tika ty rae’e naho i rene’e? Akore arè i asa’e ty hoe, t’ie nizotso boak’ andindìñ’ añe?
43 Jesus replied to them, “Stop grumbling among yourselves [about what I just said]!
Tinoi’ Iesoà ty hoe: Ko mifampiñeoñeoñe avao.
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).
Tsy eo ty mahalefe ty homb’ amako naho tsy akozozòn-dRae nañitrik’ ahy; ie amy zay, izaho ty hampitroatse aze amy andro honka’ey.
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.
Pinatetse amo Mpitokio ty hoe: Hene hanare’ Iehovà iareo, Sindre miheo amako ze nahajanjiñe naho niòke aman-dRae.
46 I came from God. I am the only one who has seen [my] Father. No one else has seen him.
Toe ndra iaia tsy nahaoniñ’ an-dRae naho tsy i boak’ aman’ Añaharey, Ie ty nahavazoho an-dRae.
47 Listen to this carefully: Everyone who believes ([my message/in me]) has eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Eka! to t’itaroñako te aman-kaveloñe nainai’e ze miato amako. (aiōnios g166)
48 [Just like] food [MET] [sustains your physical life], I am the [one who enables you to have spiritual] life.
Izaho o mofon-kaveloñeo.
49 Even though your ancestors ate the manna [while they were traveling] in the desolate area, they died [anyway].
Nikama mana am-patrambey añe o roae’ areoo, vaho nihomake.
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.
Intoy ty mofo mizotso hirik’ andindìñe ao hikamà’ ondatio tsy hihomake.
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)
Izaho o mofo veloñe nizotso hirik’ andindìñeo; ndra ia’ ia mikama i mofo zay ro ho veloñe nainai’e; eka, ty nofoko i mofo hatolokoy, i banabanaeko ho ami’ty havelo’ ty voatse toiy. (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]
Aa le hoe ty lie-droko’ o Tehodao: Aia ty hanjotsoa’ t’indaty tìa i sandri’ey ho hanen-tika?
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.
Le nanoa’ Iesoà ty hoe: Eka! to t’itaroñako, naho tsy ikamañe ty nofo’ i Ana’ ondatiy naho inomañe ty lio’e, le tsy aman-kaveloñe nahareo.
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)
Ze mikama ty nofoko naho minoñe ty lioko ro aman-kaveloñe nainai’e, le honjoneko amy andro hengaha’ey. (aiōnios g166)
55 because my flesh and my blood are truly spiritual food.
Fa toe hàneñe o nofokoo naho toe finomeñe ty lioko.
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.
Ze mikama ty nofoko naho ty lioko ro mimoneñe amako vaho izaho ama’e.
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].
Hambañe amy nañitrifa’ i Rae veloñey ahiy, izaho veloñe aman-dRae, le ze mikama amako, izaho ty hiveloma’e.
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)
Zao i mofo nizotso hirik’ andindìñey. Tsy manahake i mana nikamaen-droae’ iareo ie nihomakey; fa ho veloñe nainai’e ze mikama ty mofo toy. (aiōn g165)
59 He said this while he was teaching people in (the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place) in Capernaum.
I hoe zay ty tsinara’e te nañoke am-pitontonañe e Kapernaomy ao.
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]”
Aa le maro amo mpiama’eo, ie nahajanjiñe izay, nanao ty hoe: Maràñe i tsaray, ia ty mahajanjiñe aze?
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]
Ie nioni’ Iesoà i ñeoñeo’ o mpiama’eoy, le nanoa’e ty hoe: Mahatorifik’ anahareo v’izay?
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]
Akore arè naho isa’ areo mionjoñe mb’amy nitoe’e taoloy mb’eo i Ana’ ondatiy?
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.)
I Arofoy ty mahaveloñe, tsy mahasoa ndra loli’e o nofotseo; toe arofo naho haveloñe o saontsy itaroñako.
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).
Fe tsy mañaoñe ty ila’ areo. Toe niarofoana’ Iesoà am-baloha’e o tsi-hiatoo, naho i hañenga’ azey.
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].”
Le hoe re: Izay ty nitaroñako te, tsy eo ty homb’ amako naho tsy natolotse aze boak’ aman-dRae.
66 From that [time], many of his disciples left him and no longer went with him.
Ie amy zay, nifoneñe tsy nindre-lia ama’e ka ty maro amo mpiama’eo.
67 So he said to [us] twelve [apostles], “You do not want to leave me also, do you?”
Aa le hoe t’Iesoà amy folo ro’ amby rey, He te hisitake ka nahareo?
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)
Hoe ty natoi’ i Simona Petera: O Talè, homb’ ama’ ia v’izahaio? Ama’o o tsaran-kaveloñe nainai’eo; (aiōnios g166)
69 We have come to believe for certain that you are the holy one [who has come] from God!”
Fa natokisa’ay naho mahafohiñe te Ihe i Masin’ Añaharey.
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!”
Hoe ty nanoa’ Iesoà: Tsy izaho hao ty nijoboñe anahareo folo-ro’ambio, fe kokolampa ty raike?
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).
I Jodasy ana’ i Simona nte-Kariote, mpiamy folo ro’amby rey i tsinara’ey, ie fa hañeng’ aze.
