< John 6 >

1 After this Jesus went away across the Lake of Galilee (that is, the Lake of Tiberias).
Ie añe, le nitsake i riake Gali­liay (i atao Tiberiasiy) t’Iesoà,
2 A vast multitude followed Him, because they witnessed the miracles on the sick which He was constantly performing.
naho norihe’ ty lahialeñe amy te nioni’ iereo o viloñe nanoe’e amo marareoo.
3 Then Jesus went up the hill, and sat there with His disciples.
Aa le nitroa-bohitse t’Iesoà vaho niharo fiambesatse amo mpiama’eo.
4 The Jewish Festival, the Passover, was at hand.
An-titotse henane zay i Fihelañey, i sabadidak’ o Jiosioy.
5 And when He looked round and saw an immense crowd coming towards Him, He said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread 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 said this to put Philip to the test, for He Himself knew what He was going to do.
Ty hitsok’ aze ty nanoa’e izay, fa niarofoana’e ty hanoe’e.
7 "Seven pounds' worth of bread," replied Philip, "is not enough for them all to get even a scanty meal."
Tinoi’ i Filipo ty hoe: ty mofo azom-bogady roan’ jato tsy hahaeneñe iareo t’ie songa hangala falitse.
8 One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to Him,
Natovo’ i Andrea, mpiama’e, rahalahi’ i Simona Petera, ty hoe:
9 "There is a boy here with five barley loaves and a couple of fish: but what is that among so many?"
Atoañe ty ajajalahy ama’ mofo hordea lime naho fiañe kedekedeke roe, f’ie haha-inoñe ondaty maro iretoañe?
10 "Make the people sit down," said Jesus. The ground was covered with thick grass; so they sat down, the adult men numbering about 5,000.
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 loaves, and after giving thanks He distributed them to those who were resting on the ground; and also the fish in like manner--as much as they desired.
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 all were fully satisfied, He said to His disciples, "Gather up the broken portions that remain over, so that nothing be lost."
Ie nianjañe, le hoe re amo mpiama’eo: Atontòno o nisisa nifitafitao, soa tsy ama’e ty hianto.
13 Accordingly they gathered them up; and with the fragments of the five barley loaves--the broken portions that remained over after they had done eating--they filled twelve baskets.
Aa le nahoro’ iereo vaho nahapea haron-kisetse folo ro’amby ami’ty tsy nirì’ o nikamao amy mofo hordea lime rey.
14 Thereupon the people, having seen the miracle He had performed, said, "This is indeed the Prophet who was to come into the world."
Ie niisa’ ondatio i viloñe nanoe’ Iesoày, le hoe iereo: Toe ie i mpitoky hizilik’ ami’ty voatse toy.
15 Perceiving, however, that they were about to come and carry Him off by force to make Him a king, Jesus withdrew again up the hill alone 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 evening came on, His disciples went down to the Lake.
Ie hariva, le nizotso mb’an-driake mb’eo o mpiama’eo,
17 There they got on board a boat, and pushed off to cross the Lake to Capernaum. By this time it had become dark, and Jesus had not yet joined them.
nijon-dakañe hitsake i riakey mb’e Kapernaome añe. Ie maieñe, le mboe tsy niheo mb’am’iereo ey t’Iesoà.
18 The Lake also was getting rough, because a strong wind was blowing.
Nikabo-draha i riakey ami’ty habei’ i tioke nangofofokey.
19 When, however, they had rowed three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the water and coming near the boat.
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 They were terrified; but He called to them. "It is I," He said, "do not be afraid."
Aa hoe re tam’ iereo, Izaho ‘nio; ko hembañe.
21 Then they were willing to take Him on board; and in a moment the boat reached the shore at the point to which they were going.
Aa le nino’ iereo ty handrambe aze an-dakañe ao vaho tafatsak’ amy zao amy nanandrifeañey i lakañey.
22 Next morning the crowd who were still standing about on the other side of the Lake found that there had been but one small boat there, and they had seen that Jesus did not go on board with His disciples, but that His disciples went away without Him.
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 Yet a number of small boats came from Tiberias to the neighbourhood of the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.
(Toe nitoly marine’ i nikamà’ iareo mofo amy nañandriaña’ i Talèiy ty lakañe ila’e hirike Tiberiasy.)
24 When however the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor His disciples were there, they themselves also took boats and came to Capernaum to look for 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 So when they had crossed the Lake and had found Him, they asked Him, "Rabbi, when did you come here?"
Ie nahaisak’ aze an-dafen-driake ey le nanoa’ iareo ty hoe: O Talè, mbia ty nitsaha’o atoy?
26 "In most solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that you are searching for me not because you have seen miracles, but because you ate the loaves and had a hearty meal.
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 Bestow your pains not on the food which perishes, but on the food that remains unto the Life of the Ages--that food which will be the Son of Man's gift to you; for on Him the Father, God, has set His seal." (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 "What are we to do," they asked, "in order to carry out the things that God requires?"
Le hoe ty asa’ iareo tama’e: Inoñe ty hanoe’ay hitoloñe amo tolon-drahan’ Añahareo?
29 "This," replied Jesus, "is above all the thing that God requires--that you should be believers in Him whom He has sent."
Hoe ty natoi’ Iesoà: Zao ty fitoroñañe an’Andrianañahare, te hatokisa’ areo i nahitri’ey.
30 "What miracle then," they asked, "do you perform for us to see and become believers in you? What do you do?
Aa le hoe iereo tama’e: Ino ty viloñe hatoro’o, hahaisaha’ay, hiantofa’ay azo? Inoñe ty ho toloñe’o?
31 Our forefathers ate the manna in the Desert, as it is written, 'He gave them bread out of Heaven to eat'."
Nikama mana an-dratraratra añe o roae’aio, amy pinatetse ty hoe: Nanjotsoa’e mofo boak’ andin­dìñe añe hikama’ iereo.
32 "In most solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that Moses did not give you the bread out of Heaven, but my Father is giving you the bread--the true bread--out of 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 For God's bread is that which comes down out of Heaven and gives Life to the world."
I mofon’ Añaharey, le i nizotso boak’ andindìñe añe manolo-kaveloñe ami’ty voatse toiy.
34 "Sir," they said, "always give us that bread."
Le hoe iereo tama’e, O Talè, azotsò ama’ay nainai’e o mofo zao.
35 "I am the bread of Life," replied Jesus; "he who comes to me shall never hunger, and he who believes in me shall never, never thirst.
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 But it is as I have said to you: you have seen me and yet you do not believe.
Fa hoe ty nanoako, toe nahaisake ahy nahareo fe tsy mañaoñe.
37 Every one whom the Father gives me will come to me, and him who comes to me I will never on any account drive away.
Hene homb’amako ze atolon-dRaeko ahy vaho tsy ho farieko ka ze momb’amako.
38 For I have left Heaven and have come down to earth not to seek my own pleasure, but to do the will of Him who sent me.
Le tsy nivotrake boak’ andin­dìñe ao iraho hanao ty satriko, fa ty satri’ i nañitrik’ Ahiy.
39 And this is the will of Him who sent me, that of all that He has given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it to life on the last day.
Inao ty satrin-dRae nañirak’ ahy, te leo raike amy ze hene natolo’e, tsy hapoke, fa hatroako amy andro honka’ey.
40 For this is my Father's will, that every one who fixes his gaze on the Son of God and believes in Him should have the Life of the Ages, and I will raise him to life on the last day." (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 Now the Jews began to find fault about Him because of His claiming to be the bread which came down out of Heaven.
Niñeoñeoñe ama’e o Tehodao, ty amy asa’e ty hoe: Izaho i mofo nizotso hirik’andindìñe eiy,
42 They kept asking, "Is not this man Joseph's son? Is he not Jesus, whose father and mother we know? What does he mean by now saying, 'I have come down out of Heaven'?"
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 "Do not thus find fault among yourselves," replied Jesus;
Tinoi’ Iesoà ty hoe: Ko mifampiñeoñeoñe avao.
44 "no one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him; then I will raise him to life on the last 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 stands written in the Prophets, 'And they shall all of them be taught by God'. Every one who listens to the Father and learns from Him comes to me.
Pinatetse amo Mpitokio ty hoe: Hene hanare’ Iehovà iareo, Sindre miheo amako ze nahajanjiñe naho niòke aman-dRae.
46 No one has ever seen the Father--except Him who is from God. He has seen the Father.
Toe ndra iaia tsy nahaoniñ’ an-dRae naho tsy i boak’ aman’ Añaharey, Ie ty nahavazoho an-dRae.
47 "In most solemn truth I tell you that he who believes has the Life of the Ages. (aiōnios g166)
Eka! to t’itaroñako te aman-kaveloñe nainai’e ze miato amako. (aiōnios g166)
48 I am the bread of Life.
Izaho o mofon-kaveloñeo.
49 Your forefathers ate the manna in the Desert, and they died.
Nikama mana am-patrambey añe o roae’ areoo, vaho nihomake.
50 Here is the bread that comes down out of Heaven that a man may eat it and not die.
Intoy ty mofo mizotso hirik’ andindìñe ao hikamà’ ondatio tsy hihomake.
51 I am the living bread come down out of Heaven. If a man eats this bread, he shall live for ever. Moreover the bread which I will give is my flesh given for the life of the world." (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 This led to an angry debate among the Jews. "How can this man," they argued, "give us his flesh to eat?"
Aa le hoe ty lie-droko’ o Tehodao: Aia ty hanjotsoa’ t’indaty tìa i sandri’ey ho hanen-tika?
53 "In most solemn truth I tell you," said Jesus, "that unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no Life in you.
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 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has the Life of the Ages, and I will raise him up on the last 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 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
Fa toe hàneñe o nofokoo naho toe finomeñe ty lioko.
56 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in union with me, and I remain in union with him.
Ze mikama ty nofoko naho ty lioko ro mimoneñe amako vaho izaho ama’e.
57 As the ever-living Father has sent me, and I live because of the Father, so also he who eats me will live because of me.
Hambañe amy nañitrifa’ i Rae veloñey ahiy, izaho veloñe aman-dRae, le ze mikama amako, izaho ty hiveloma’e.
58 This is the bread which came down out of Heaven; it is unlike that which your forefathers ate--for they ate and yet died. He who eats this bread shall live for ever." (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 Jesus said all this in the synagogue while teaching at Capernaum.
I hoe zay ty tsinara’e te nañoke am-pitontonañe e Kapernaomy ao.
60 Many therefore of His disciples, when they heard it, said, "This is hard to accept. Who can listen to such teaching?"
Aa le maro amo mpiama’eo, ie nahajanjiñe izay, nanao ty hoe: Maràñe i tsaray, ia ty mahajanjiñe aze?
61 But, knowing in Himself that His disciples were dissatisfied about it, Jesus asked them,
Ie nioni’ Iesoà i ñeoñeo’ o mpiama’eoy, le nanoa’e ty hoe: Mahatorifik’ anahareo v’izay?
62 "Does this seem incredible to you? What then if you were to see the Son of Man ascending again where He was before?
Akore arè naho isa’ areo mionjoñe mb’amy nitoe’e taoloy mb’eo i Ana’ ondatiy?
63 It is the spirit which gives Life. The flesh confers no benefit whatever. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and are 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." For Jesus knew from the beginning who those were that did not believe, and who it was that would betray Him.
Fe tsy mañaoñe ty ila’ areo. Toe niarofoana’ Iesoà am-baloha’e o tsi-hiatoo, naho i hañenga’ azey.
65 So He added, "That is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it be granted him by the Father."
Le hoe re: Izay ty nitaroñako te, tsy eo ty homb’ amako naho tsy natolotse aze boak’ aman-dRae.
66 Thereupon many of His disciples left Him and went away, and no longer associated with Him.
Ie amy zay, nifoneñe tsy nindre-lia ama’e ka ty maro amo mpiama’eo.
67 Jesus therefore appealed to the Twelve. "Will you go also?" He asked.
Aa le hoe t’Iesoà amy folo ro’ amby rey, He te hisitake ka nahareo?
68 "Master," replied Simon Peter, "to whom shall we go? Your teachings tell us of the Life of the Ages. (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 And we have come to believe and know that you are indeed the Holy One of God."
Fa natokisa’ay naho mahafohiñe te Ihe i Masin’ Añaharey.
70 "Did not I choose you--the Twelve?" said Jesus, "and even of you one is a devil."
Hoe ty nanoa’ Iesoà: Tsy izaho hao ty nijoboñe anahareo folo-ro’ambio, fe kokolampa ty raike?
71 He alluded to Judas, the son of Simon the Iscariot. For he it was who, though one of the Twelve, was afterwards to betray Him.
I Jodasy ana’ i Simona nte-Kariote, mpiamy folo ro’amby rey i tsinara’ey, ie fa hañeng’ aze.
