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.
baada ya makowe aga, Yesu kayenda kwiye ya bahari ya Galilaya, pia ukemwa bahari ya Tiberia.
2 A large crowd of people kept following Jesus [on land] because they had been seeing the miracles he performed [by healing] sick people.
Kipenga kikolo sa bandu satikunkengama kwa mana babweni ishara azipangite kwa babile atamwe.
3 Jesus went up on the hillside and sat down with [us] disciples [to teach us].
Yesu aobwike nnani hadi upande wa nnani ya kitombe ni tama kwoo ni anapenzi bake.
4 Then he looked up and saw a great crowd of people coming toward him.
(Ni Pasaka, Sikukuu ya Ayahudi yabile imekaribia)
5 He said to Philip, “Where will we buy food for all these people to eat?”
Yesu paatondobiyea minyo gake nnani kubona kipenga kikolo sa bandu waisa kwake, kammakiya Filipo.”Tuyende kwaako kupemea mikate ili haba pandu baweze lyaa?”
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.
(Lakini Yesu kalongela aga kwa Filipo kwa kumgeya kwa mana ywembe atangite chakukipanga).
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!”
Filipo kanyangwa, “Hata mikate ya garamia dinari mia ibele itosha kwaa hata kila yumo lya kipande kichunu.”
8 Another one of [us] disciples, Andrew, who was Simon Peter’s [younger] brother, said to Jesus,
Andrea yumo ywa anapunzi bake nnongowe Simoni Petro kammakiya
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]”
Yesu, “pabile ni nnalome pano abile na mikate mitano ni omba abele, lakini yafaa namani kwa bandu banyansima namna yee?”
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 kaabakiya, “Muamakiye batami pae” (pabile ni manyei yanansima pandu palo). Pabile ni analome kati elfu tano batami pae.
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 kaitola yelo mikate mitani kashukuru ni kubagea balo babile batami. Nyo nyonyo kabagawia ni omba kadri yabapala.
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!”
Bandu pabayukwite, atikuamakiya anapunzi bake, “Mwikusanye ipande ya mabaki, yalekwile ili kana kipotee chochote.”
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!
Bai kabakusanya ni kuijaza itondo komi ni ibele, ipande ya mikate mitano ya shahiri-ipande yalekwile ni balo babile lyaa.
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!”
Boka po bandu kababweni ishara yee yaaipangite kababaya, “Kweli yolo nga yolo nabii ywaisa mu'ulimwengu.”
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.
Yesu paatangite kuwa bapala kuntaba ili bampange kuwa mfalme wabe, atikuitenga, kae na kuyenda pakitombe ywembe kichake.
16 When it was evening, [we] disciples went down to [Galilee] Lake.
Paiikite kitamwinyo, anapunzi bake batiuluka yenda mu'bahari.
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].
Bateobuka mu'ngalaba ni babile kabaloka yenda Kapernaumu. (Libendo lyabile lajingya ni Yesu abile bado kaisa kwabe)
18 A strong wind started to blow and caused the water (to become very rough/to have high waves).
muda wowo pabile ni upepo mkale uisile, ni bahari yaibile itisapuka.
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!
Anapunzi bake babile bakombwile makasia kati ishirini na tano au thelathini, bamweni Yesu ayenda kunani ya bahari kuikaribia ngalaba, ni kuogopa.
20 But he said to us, “Do not be afraid! It is I!”
Lakini kaamakiya, “Ni nenga! kana muyogope.”
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!
Kae babile tayari kumpotwa mu'ngalaba, ni mata ngalaba yaikite mu'nnema wabile kabayenda.
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.
Lisoba lya naibele, kipenga sa bandu sayemi upande wa bahari sabweni kuwa ntopo ngalaba yenge ila wolo ambao Yesu ni anapunzi bake babile baupandile kwaa lakini anapunzi bake baboi bembe.
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].
(Ingawa, pabile ni baadhi ya ngalaba yabokite Tiberia papipi ni pandu palyaa mikate baada ya Ngwana kutoa shukrani).
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.
Wakati bandu batangite kuwa ni Yesu kwaa wala anapunzi bake babile kolyo, bembe baobite mu'ngalaba ni kuyenda Kapernaumu kunkengama Yesu.
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?”
Baada ya kumpata upande wenge wa bahari kabanlaluya, “rabi uisile lini kuno?”
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 kabayangwa, kaamakiya, Amini, amini, mwalowa kunipala nenga, kwamana muibweni ishara, ila kwa mana mulya mikate na kuyukwita.
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)
Muleke kukipangia kazi chakulya chaharibika, ila mkipangie kazi chakula cha haribika kwaa hata milele chelo ambacho mwana wa Adamu awapeya, kwa kuwa Nnongo Tate aubekite muhuri nnani yake.” (aiōnios g166)
28 Then the people asked him, “What things should we do [to please] God?”
Boka po kabammakiya, “Tupange namani ili kuzipanga kazi za Nnongo?
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 kayangwa, “Ayee nga kazi ya Nnongo: mmwamini ywembe ywaatumite.”
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?
Atikwabakiya, “Ni ishara yaako walowa kwipanga, ili twaweza kuibona ni kuiaminiya? Walowa panga namani?
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]?”
Tate bitu walya manna mu'lijangwa, kati yabile yaandikwile, “Atikwapeya mikate boka kumaunde ili balyee.”
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 kanyangwa, “Amini, amini, Musa kwaa ywaawapeya mkate boka kumaunde, ila Tate bango nga awapeile mkate boka kumaunde.
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].”
Kwa kuwa mkate wa Nnongo nga wolo uulukile boka kumaunde ni kuupata ukoto mu'ulimwengu.
34 [Not understanding what he meant], they said to him, “Sir, give us that kind of bread all the time!”
Kammakiya,'Ngwana utupeye woo mkate wote.”
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 aamakiye, “Nenga nga mkate wa ukoto, ywembe ywaisa kwango apatike kwaa njala ni ywembe ywaniaminiye aibweni kwaa kiu kamwe.”
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.
Ingawa natikuabakiya kuwa, muibweni, na bado muamini kwaa.
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.
Bote ambao Tate anipeile balowa isa kwango, ni yeyote ywaisa kwango nalowa kuntaikwa panja.
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.
Kwa kuwa natiuluka boka kumaunde, kwaajili ya panga kwaa mapenzi yango, ila mapenzi yake ywanitumile.
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].
Nga aga nga mapenzi gake ywanitumile, kana nimpoteze hata yumo wa balo anipeile, ila nalowa kubafufua lisoba lya mwisho.
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)
kwa mana aga nga mapenzi ga Tate bango, kuwa yeyote ywanlolekeya Mwana ni kumwamini apate ukoto wanga yomoka; ni nenga nalowa kubafufua lisoba lya mwisho. (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.”
Ayahudi kabanung'unika kuhusu ywembe kwa mana abayite, “Nenga nga mkate uboka kumaunde.”
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]”
Kababaya, “Ayo Yesu kwaa mwana wa Yusufu, ywabile tate bake ni mao bake twawatangite? Ipalikwa namani nambeambe abayite,'Natiuluka kuoma kumaunde?”
43 Jesus replied to them, “Stop grumbling among yourselves [about what I just said]!
Yesu kaayangwa, kaabakiya, “Kana mnung'unike nkati yinu mwabene.
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).
Ntopo mundu ywaisa bila potwa na Tate bango ywanitumile, ni nenga nalowa kumfufua lisoba lya mwisho.
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.
Kwa kuwa iandikilwe mu'manabii,'balowa pundishwa ni Nnongo.' Kila ywayowine ni kuipundisha kuoma kwa Tate, uisa kwango.
46 I came from God. I am the only one who has seen [my] Father. No one else has seen him.
Ntopo mundu ywamweni Tate, ila ywembe ywaisa boka kwa Nnongo-amweni Tate.
47 Listen to this carefully: Everyone who believes ([my message/in me]) has eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Amini, amini ywembe aaminiye abile ni ukoto wange yomoka. (aiōnios g166)
48 [Just like] food [MET] [sustains your physical life], I am the [one who enables you to have spiritual] life.
Nenga nga mkate wa ukoto.
49 Even though your ancestors ate the manna [while they were traveling] in the desolate area, they died [anyway].
Tate binu kabalya manna mu'lijangwa, no waa.
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.
Awoo nga mkate uboite kuoma kumaunde, ili mundu aulye ipande yake ili kana abulagilwe.
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)
Nenga nga mkate watama wabile uulukite kuoma kumaunde. Kati mundu yoyote ywaalya ipande ya mkate woo, alowa tama milele. Mkate waniuboile nga yega yango kwaajili ya ukoto wa Ulimwengu.” (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]
Ayahudi kabakasirika bene kwa bene ni kuanza bishana no baya, “Mundu yolo aweza kinamani kutupeya yega yake tuulye?”
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.
Boka po Yesu kaamakiya, “Amini amini, mana muuliye kwaa yega ya mwana wa Adamu ni kuinywea mwai yake, kana mubile kwaa ni ukoto nkati yinu.
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)
Yeyote ywalyaa yega yango ni kwinywea mwai wango abile ni ukoto wangeyomoka, ni nenga nalowa kumfufua lisoba lya mwisho. (aiōnios g166)
55 because my flesh and my blood are truly spiritual food.
Kwa kuwa yega yango ni chakulya cha kweli, ni mwai wango ni kinywaji cha kweli.
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.
Ywembe ywaulyaa yega yango ni kwinywea mwai yango aloa tama nkati yango, ni nenga nkati yake.
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].
Kati Tate ywabile ni ukoto ywanitumile, na kati nenga niishivyo kwa sababu ya Tate, ni ywembe pia atama kwa sababu yango.
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)
Awoo nga mkate uboite kuoma kumaunde, kati yabile tate balye kababulagilwa. Ywembe ywaulyaa mkate woo alowa tama milele. (aiōn g165)
59 He said this while he was teaching people in (the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place) in Capernaum.
Yesu abayite makowe aga nkati ya sinagogi abile akipundisha kolyo Kapernaumu.
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]”
Bengi ba anapunzi bake kabayowine aga, kababaya, “Alee lipundisho gumu nyai ywaweza kulipokya?”
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 kwasababu atangite ya kuwa anapunzi bake babile batikulinung'unikya likowe lee, Kaamakiya je likowe lee lyatikuwakwaza?
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]
Ipangika buli pabamweni mwana wa Adamu atiuluka kuoma kwaabile kabla?
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.)
Roho nga ayeya ukoto. Yega ufaidi kwaa kilebe chochote. Maneno yaniyabayite kwinu nga roho nga ni ukoto.
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).
Bado kwabile na bandu kati yinu baaminiye kwaa. kwasababu Yesu atangite tangu mwanzo yolo ywabile aweza kwaa kuaminiya ni ywembe ywamsalitiye.
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].”
Kam'bakiya, ni kwa sababu yee nikubakiyange kwamba ntopo mundu ywaweza kuisa kwango ibile kwaa apeilwe ni Tate.”
66 From that [time], many of his disciples left him and no longer went with him.
Baada ya aga anapunzi bake baibgi batibuyangana nnchogo ni batikengamana nakwe kwaa kae.
67 So he said to [us] twelve [apostles], “You do not want to leave me also, do you?”
Yesu kaamakiya balo komi na ibele, “Je ni mwenga mwapala kuboka?”
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)
Simoni Petro kannyangwa, “Ngwana tuyende kwa nyai kwani wenga ubile ni maneno ga ukoto wangeyomoka, (aiōnios g166)
69 We have come to believe for certain that you are the holy one [who has come] from God!”
ni twatuaminiya ni kuyowa kuwa wenga nga Mtakatifu wa Nnongo.”
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 kaamakiya, “Je nenga niwachawile kwaa mwenga, ni yumo winu nga ibilisi?
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).
Nambeambe abile kalongela kuhusu Yuda, mwana wa Simoni Iskariote, kwa kuwa abile ni ywembe abile yumo wa balo komi ni ibele, ywabile ywamsalitie Yesu.
