John 6
1 After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.
Emva kwalezizinto uJesu wasuka waya ngaphetsheya kolwandle lweGalili, lweTiberiyasi.
2 And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he performed on them that were diseased.
Laselimlandela ixuku elikhulu, ngoba babebone izibonakaliso zakhe azenza kulabo abagulayo.
3 And Jesus went up on a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.
UJesu wasesenyukela entabeni, wahlala phansi khona labafundi bakhe.
4 And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was near.
Iphasika, umkhosi wamaJuda, laselisondele.
5 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come to him, he saith to Philip, Where shall we buy bread, that these may eat?
Kwathi uJesu ephakamisa amehlo, wasebona ixuku elikhulu lisiza kuye, wathi kuFiliphu: Sizathenga ngaphi izinkwa, ukuze laba badle?
6 And this he said to test him: for he himself knew what he would do.
Njalo watsho lokhu emhlola, ngoba yena wayekwazi azakwenza.
7 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.
UFiliphu wamphendula wathi: Izinkwa zabodenariyo abangamakhulu amabili zingebanele, ukuthi wonke ngamunye wabo azuze ingcosana.
8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, saith to him,
Omunye wabafundi bakhe, uAndreya umfowabo kaSimoni Petro, wathi kuye:
9 There is a lad here, who hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?
Kukhona umfanyana lapha, olezinkwa ezinhlanu zebhali lenhlanzana ezimbili; kodwa ziyini kwabanengi kangaka?
10 And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
Kodwa uJesu wathi: Hlalisani abantu phansi. Kwakukhona utshani obunengi kuleyondawo. Ngakho amadoda ahlala phansi inani lawo lalingaba zinkulungwane ezinhlanu.
11 And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were sitting down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.
UJesu wasezithatha izinkwa, esebongile wazinika abafundi, labafundi kulabo ababehlezi phansi; ngokunjalo lenhlanzana ngangokufuna kwabo.
12 When they were filled, he said to his disciples, Gather the fragments that remain, that nothing may be lost.
Bathi sebesuthi, wathi kubafundi bakhe: Buthani imvuthu eziseleyo, ukuze kungachitheki lutho.
13 Therefore they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above to them that had eaten.
Basebebutha, bagcwalisa izitsha ezilitshumi lambili ngemvuthu zezinkwa ezinhlanu zebhali, ezasalayo kulabo abadlayo.
14 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus performed, said, This is truly that prophet that should come into the world.
Kwathi lababantu bebona isimangaliso asenzileyo uJesu, bathi: Ngeqiniso lo nguye umProfethi omele ukuza emhlabeni.
15 When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again to a mountain himself alone.
Kwathi uJesu esazi ukuthi bazakuza bambambe ngamandla, ukumbeka abe yinkosi, wabuyela futhi entabeni yena eyedwa.
16 And when evening had now come, his disciples went down to the sea,
Sekuhlwile, abafundi bakhe behlela elwandle,
17 And entered into a boat, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them.
sebengenile emkhunjini, beza ngaphetsheya kolwandle ukuya eKapenawume. Kwasekumnyama, uJesu wayengafikanga kubo.
18 And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.
Lwaseluvuka ulwandle ngoba umoya olamandla wawuvunguza.
19 So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing near to the boat: and they were afraid.
Sebegwedlile amastadiyu angaba ngamatshumi amabili lanhlanu kumbe amatshumi amathathu, babona uJesu ehamba phezu kolwandle, esondela emkhunjini; basebesethuka.
20 But he saith to them, It is I; be not afraid.
Kodwa wathi kubo: Yimi, lingesabi.
21 Then they willingly received him into the boat: and immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.
Basebevuma ukumemukela emkhunjini; njalo wahle wafika umkhumbi elizweni ababesiya kilo.
22 The day following, when the people who stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except that one into which his disciples had entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples had gone away alone;
Kusisa ixuku elalimi ngaphetsheya kolwandle, libona ukuthi kwakungela lamunye umkolo lapho ngaphandle kwalowo ababengene kuwo abafundi bakhe, lokuthi uJesu wayengangenanga emkolweni labafundi bakhe, kodwa abafundi bakhe babehambe bodwa,
23 ( However there came other boats from Tiberias near to the place where they ate bread, after the Lord had given thanks: )
kodwa eminye imikolo evela eTiberiyasi yafika eduze lendawo lapho ababedle khona isinkwa, emva kokuthi iNkosi isibongile;
24 When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.
ngakho ixuku selibonile ukuthi uJesu wayengekho lapho loba abafundi bakhe, bangena labo emikhunjini, bafika eKapenawume, bedinga uJesu.
25 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, Rabbi, when camest thou here?
Bathi sebemtholile ngaphetsheya kolwandle, bathi kuye: Rabi, ufike nini lapha?
26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say to you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye ate of the loaves, and were filled.
UJesu wabaphendula wathi: Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kini: Liyangidinga, kungeyisikho ukuthi labona izibonakaliso, kodwa ngoba ladla izinkwa lasutha.
27 Labour not for the food which perisheth, but for that food which endureth to everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give to you: for him hath God the Father sealed. (aiōnios g166)
Lingasebenzeli ukudla okuphelayo, kodwa ukudla okuhlala kuze kube yimpilo elaphakade, ezalinika khona iNdodana yomuntu; ngoba yena uNkulunkulu uYise umphawulile. (aiōnios g166)
28 Then said they to him, What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?
Basebesithi kuye: Sizakwenzani, ukuze senze imisebenzi kaNkulunkulu?
29 Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
UJesu waphendula wathi kubo: Lo ngumsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, ukuze likholwe kulowo yena amthumileyo.
30 They said therefore to him, What sign showest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?
Ngakho bathi kuye: Pho wena wenza isibonakaliso bani, ukuze sibone sikholwe kuwe? Usebenzani?
31 Our fathers ate manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
Obaba bethu badla imana enkangala, njengokulotshiweyo ukuthi: Wabanika isinkwa esivela ezulwini ukuthi badle.
32 Then Jesus said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
UJesu wasesithi kubo: Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kini: UMozisi kalinikanga isinkwa esivela ezulwini; kodwa uBaba ulinika isinkwa soqobo esivela ezulwini.
33 For the bread of God is he who cometh down from heaven, and giveth life to the world.
Ngoba isinkwa sikaNkulunkulu singuye owehla evela ezulwini esinika impilo emhlabeni.
34 Then said they to him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
Basebesithi kuye: Nkosi, sinike lesosinkwa njalonjalo.
35 And Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
UJesu wasesithi kubo: Mina ngiyisinkwa sempilo; lowo oza kimi, kasoze alambe; lalowo okholwa kimi, kasoze ome lakanye.
36 But I said to you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.
Kodwa ngithe kini: Lani lingibonile, kodwa kalikholwa.
37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will by no means cast out.
Bonke uBaba anginika bona bazakuza kimi; lozayo kimi angisoze ngimxotshele phandle.
38 For I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me.
Ngoba ngehlile ezulwini, hatshi ukuthi ngenze intando yami, kodwa intando yalowo ongithumileyo.
39 And this is the Father’s will who hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise them up again at the last day.
Lalokhu kuyintando kaBaba ongithumileyo, ukuze konke anginike khona, ngingalahlekelwa lutho kikho, kodwa ngikuvuse ngosuku lokucina.
40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one who seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. (aiōnios g166)
Lalokhu kuyintando yongithumileyo, ukuthi wonke obona iNdodana njalo akholwe kuyo, abe lempilo elaphakade, njalo mina ngizamvusa ngosuku lokucina. (aiōnios g166)
41 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.
Ngalokho amaJuda akhonona ngaye, ngoba wathi: Mina ngiyisinkwa esehla sivela ezulwini.
42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?
Athi-ke: Lo kayisuye yini uJesu indodana kaJosefa, uyise lonina thina esibaziyo? Pho yena utsho njani, ukuthi: Ngehle ngivela ezulwini?
43 Jesus therefore answered and said to them, Murmur not among yourselves.
UJesu wasephendula wathi kuwo: Lingakhononi phakathi kwenu.
44 No man can come to me, except the Father who hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
Kakho ongeza kimi, ngaphandle kokuthi uBaba ongithumileyo amdonse, njalo mina ngizamvusa ngosuku lokucina.
45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught from God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned from the Father, cometh to me.
Kulotshiwe kubaprofethiukuthi: Njalo bonke bazafundiswa nguNkulunkulu. Ngakho wonke ozwileyo ngoBaba wafunda, uyeza kimi.
46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, except he who is from God, he hath seen the Father.
Kayisikho ukuthi ukhona obone uBaba, ngaphandle kwakhe ovela kuNkulunkulu, yena umbonile uBaba.
Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kini: Okholwayo kimi, ulempilo elaphakade. (aiōnios g166)
48 I am that bread of life.
Mina ngiyisinkwa sempilo.
49 Your fathers ate manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
Oyihlo badla imana enkangala, futhi bafa;
50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat of it, and not die.
lesi yisinkwa esehla sivela ezulwini, ukuze umuntu adle okwaso angafi.
51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man shall eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. (aiōn g165)
Mina ngiyisinkwa esiphilayo, esehla sivela ezulwini; uba umuntu esidla lesisinkwa, uzaphila ephakadeni. Njalo lesinkwa mina engizasinika, siyinyama yami, mina engizayinikela impilo yomhlaba. (aiōn g165)
52 The Jews therefore began to dispute among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
AmaJuda asephikisana esithi: Lo angasinika njani inyama yakhe siyidle?
53 Then Jesus said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
Ngakho uJesu wathi kuwo: Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kini: Ngaphandle kokuthi lidle inyama yeNdodana yomuntu linathe igazi layo, kalilampilo phakathi kwenu.
54 Whoever eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. (aiōnios g166)
Odla inyama yami anathe igazi lami, ulempilo elaphakade, njalo mina ngizamvusa ngosuku lokucina. (aiōnios g166)
55 For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
Ngoba inyama yami iyikudla oqotho, legazi lami lingokunathwayo oqotho.
56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
Odla inyama yami anathe igazi lami, uhlala kimi, lami kuye.
57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
Njengalokhu uBaba ophilayo engithumile, lami ngiphila ngoBaba; ngakho ongidlayo, laye uzaphila ngami.
58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers ate manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever. (aiōn g165)
Lesi yisinkwa esehla sivela ezulwini; akunjengaboyihlo abadla imana, sebafa; odla lesisinkwa, uzaphila okulaphakade. (aiōn g165)
59 These things he said in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
Watsho lezizinto esinagogeni efundisa eKapenawume.
60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
Kwathi abanengi kubafundi bakhe besizwa bathi: Lilukhuni lelilizwi; ngubani ongalizwa?
61 When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said to them, Doth this offend you?
Kodwa uJesu esazi phakathi kwakhe ukuthi abafundi bakhe bayasola ngalokhu, wathi kubo: Lokhu kuyalikhuba yini?
62 What if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
Pho, lizathini uba libona iNdodana yomuntu isenyukela lapho eyayikhona kuqala?
63 It is the spirit that giveth life; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak to you, they are spirit, and they are life.
KunguMoya ophilisayo, inyama kayisizi lutho; amazwi mina engiwakhuluma kini, angumoya njalo ayimpilo.
64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who he was that would betray him.
Kodwa bakhona abanye kini abangakholwayo. Ngoba uJesu wayekwazi kusukela ekuqaleni, ukuthi ngobani abangakholwayo, lokuthi ngubani ozamnikela.
65 And he said, Therefore I said to you, that no man can come to me, except it were given to him by my Father.
Wasesithi: Kungenxa yalokhu ngithe kini: Kakho ongeza kimi, ngaphandle kokuthi ekunikwe nguBaba.
66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
Kusukela lapho abanengi babafundi bakhe babuyela emuva, kababe besahamba laye.
67 Then said Jesus to the twelve, Will ye also go away?
UJesu wasesithi kwabalitshumi lambili: Lani lithanda ukuzihambela yini?
68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
USimoni Petro wasemphendula wathi: Nkosi, sizakuya kubani? Amazwi empilo elaphakade akuwe, (aiōnios g166)
69 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.
njalo thina siyakholwa, sesisazi ukuthi wena unguKristu iNdodana kaNkulunkulu ophilayo.
70 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?
UJesu wabaphendula wathi: Mina kangilikhethanga yini lina abalitshumi lambili, kodwa omunye wenu ungudiyabhola?
71 He spoke of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for it was he that was to betray him, being one of the twelve.
Wayekhuluma ngoJudasi Iskariyothi kaSimoni; ngoba nguye owayezamnikela, engomunye wabalitshumi lambili.
