Yohanes 6
1 Le esiawo megbe la, Yesu tso Galilea ƒu (si woyɔna hã be Tiberias Ƒu la) yi egodo.
After these things, Jesus went to the other side of the sea of Galilee or of Tiberias.
2 Ameha gã aɖe nɔ eyome, elabena wokpɔ nukunu siwo wòwɔ heda gbe le dɔnɔwo ŋu.
And great multitudes went after him; because they had seen the signs which he wrought upon the sick.
3 Yesu lia togbɛ aɖe, eye eya kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo nɔ anyi ɖe afi ma.
And Jesus ascended a mountain, and there he seated himself with his disciples.
4 Yudatɔwo ƒe Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la hã tu aƒe.
And the feast of the Jewish passover was near.
5 Esi Yesu fɔ ta dzi hekpɔ ameha gã aɖe wogbɔna va egbɔ la, ebia Filipo be, “Afi ka míakpɔ nuɖuɖu le ana ameha gã sia woaɖu?”
And Jesus raised his eyes, and saw a great multitude coming towards him; and he said to Philip: Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?
6 Yesu bia nya sia be yeatsɔ ado Filipo ƒe xɔse akpɔ, elabena eya ŋutɔ nya nu si wɔ ge wòala.
And this he said, to try him; for he knew what he was about to do.
7 Filipo ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Ɣleti ade ƒe fetu gɔ̃ hã mate ŋu aƒle nuɖuɖu wòade na ameha sia o!”
Philip said to him: Two hundred denarii in bread would not suffice them, that each might take but a little.
8 Eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dometɔ ɖeka, Andrea, Simɔn Petro nɔvi, gblɔ nɛ be,
One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Cephas, said to him:
9 “Ŋutsuvi aɖe le afi sia si si lubolo sue atɔ̃ kple tɔmelã meme eve le, gake nu ka esia ate ŋu awɔ le ameha gã sia ŋuti?”
There is a lad here, who hath with him five cakes of barley, and two fishes; but what are these for all those people?
10 Yesu gblɔ na nusrɔ̃lawo be, “Mina ame sia ame nanɔ anyi.” Gbe sɔ gbɔ ɖe teƒe sia. Ale ame siwo ƒe xexlẽme anɔ akpe atɔ̃ la nɔ anyi ɖe gbeawo dzi.
Jesus said to them: Make all the people recline. Now there was much grass in that place: and the people reclined, in number five thousand.
11 Yesu tsɔ aboloawo, eye wòdo gbe ɖa heda akpe ɖe wo ta. Emegbe la, etsɔe na eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo be woama na ameawo. Edo gbe ɖa ɖe tɔmelã meme eveawo hã ta, eye wòtsɔe na ameawo.
And Jesus took the bread, and blessed, and distributed to them that reclined. And so also, with the fish; as much as they desired.
12 Esi ame sia ame ɖu nu ɖi ƒo nyuie vɔ la, Yesu gblɔ na nusrɔ̃lawo be, “Miƒo abolo wuwlui siwo katã susɔ la nu ƒu be womagaɖi vlo o.”
And when they were satisfied, he said to his disciples: Gather up the fragments which remain, that nothing be lost.
13 Ale woƒo abolo wuwluiawo katã nu ƒu, eye wòyɔ kusi wuieve sɔŋ.
And they collected and filled twelve baskets, with fragments of what remained to them that had eaten of the five barley cakes.
14 Esi ameawo kpɔ nukunu gã si Yesu wɔ la, wodo ɣli gblɔ be, “Le nyateƒe me la, ame siae nye Nyagblɔɖila si míele mɔ kpɔm na le xexe sia me.”
And those people, when they saw the sign which Jesus had wrought, said: Certainly, this is that prophet who was to come into the world.
15 Yesu kpɔe dze sii be ameawo nɔ didim be yewoalé ye aɖo fiae sesẽtɔe, eya ta ewɔ dzaa galia togbɛ la, eye wòdzo le wo gbɔ.
And Jesus knew, that they were about to come and take him by force, and make him king: and he retired into a mountain alone.
16 Le fiẽ me la, nusrɔ̃lawo yi ƒuta ɖanɔ elalam le afi ma.
And when it was evening, his disciples went down to the sea,
17 Zã do vɔ keŋ, gake Yesu medo ta ɖa o, eya ta nusrɔ̃lawo ge ɖe ʋu aɖe me, eye wokui ɖo ta Kapernaum.
and sat in a ship, and were going over to Capernaum. And darkness came on, and Jesus had not come to them.
18 Ya sesẽ aɖe de asi ƒoƒo me, eye ƒu la dze agbo.
And the sea was boisterous against them, for a violent wind was blowing.
19 Esi woku ʋu la abe agbadroƒe etɔ̃ alo ene ko ene la, wokpɔ Yesu wònɔ tetem ɖe ʋu la ŋuti, enɔ ƒu la dzi zɔm, eye vɔvɔ̃ ɖo wo,
And they had gone about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, when they saw Jesus walking upon the sea: and as he drew near to the ship, they were afraid.
20 ke egblɔ na wo be, “Nyee, migavɔ̃ o.”
But Jesus said to them: It is I; be not afraid.
21 Wodi be yewoakɔe ade ʋu la me, gake enumake la, ʋu la de tɔkɔ, afi si yim wonɔ la.
And they were glad to receive him into the ship. And, directly, the ship was at the land to which they were going.
22 Esi ŋu ke la, ameha si nɔ tsitre ɖe ƒu la ƒe go kemɛ dzi la de dzesii be ʋu ɖeka koe nɔ afi ma. Wokpɔ hã be, Yesu meɖo ʋu la kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo o, ke boŋ woawo ɖeɖe koe yi.
And the next day, the multitude, who had remained on the other side of the sea, saw that there was no other ship there, except that in which the disciples embarked, and that Jesus did not embark in that ship with his disciples;
23 Tete ʋu bubu aɖewo tso Tiberia va ɖo afi si ameawo ɖu abolo si Aƒetɔ la yra kple akpedada le.
yet that other ships had come from Tiberias, near to the place where they ate the bread when Jesus blessed it.
24 Esi ameawo kpɔ be Yesu alo eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo menɔ afi ma o la, woɖo ʋuawo heyi Kapernaum be yewoaɖadi Yesu.
And when the multitude saw, that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples; they embarked in ships, and came to Capernaum, and sought for Jesus.
25 Esi woɖo Kapernaum la, wokpɔ Yesu, eye wobiae be, “Nufiala, ɣe ka ɣi nèva ɖo afi sia?”
And when they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him: Our Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
26 Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Le nyateƒe me la, miele diyem, menye ɖe esi miekpɔ nukunuwo ta o, ke boŋ le nuɖuɖu si mena mi etsɔ la ta.
Jesus replied and said to them: Verily, verily, I say to you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the signs, but because ye ate the bread and were satisfied.
27 Migawɔ dɔ ɖe nuɖuɖu si gblẽna la ta o, ke boŋ ɖe nuɖuɖu si kplɔa ame yina ɖe agbe mavɔ me si Nye, Amegbetɔ Vi la mana mi la ta. Eya dzie Mawu Fofo la da asi ɖo.” (aiōnios g166)
Labor not for the food that perisheth, but for the food that abideth unto life eternal, which the Son of man will give to you; for him hath God the Father sealed. (aiōnios g166)
28 Ameawo biae be, “Nu ka míawɔ be míawɔ dɔ siwo Mawu di?”
They said to him: What shall we do, in order to work the works of God?
29 Yesu ɖo eŋu be, “Enye Mawu ƒe didi be miaxɔ ame si wòɖo ɖa la dzi ase.”
Jesus replied and said to them: This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
30 Tete ameawo biae be, “Nukunu ka nàwɔ míakpɔ be míaxɔ dziwò ase? Nu ka nàwɔ?
They say to him: What sign doest thou, that we may see and believe in thee? What workest thou?
31 Mía fofowo ɖu mana le gbea dzi abe ale si woŋlɔe ɖi ene be, ‘Ena abolo wo tso dziƒo be woaɖu.’”
Our fathers ate the manna, in the wilderness; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
32 Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Nyateƒe gblɔm mele na mi be, menye Mosee na abolo tso dziƒo mi o, ke boŋ Fofonyee.
Jesus said to them: Verily, verily, I say to you, Moses gave you not the bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the real bread from heaven.
33 Abolo si Mawu na lae nye ame si tso dziƒo va, eye wòna agbe xexea me.”
For the bread of God is, he that came down from heaven, and giveth life to the world.
34 Ameawo gblɔ be, “Aƒetɔ, tso fifia heyi la, na abolo sia mí.”
They say to him: Our Lord, give us at all times this bread.
35 Yesu gblɔ be, “Nyee nye agbebolo la. Ame si ava gbɔnye la, dɔ magawui akpɔ o, eye ame si xɔ dzinye se la, tsikɔ magawui gbeɖe o.
Jesus said to them: I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me, shall not hunger; and he that believeth on me, shall not thirst, for ever.
36 Gake abe ale si megblɔ do ŋgɔe ene la, miekpɔm, gake miexɔ dzinye se o.
But I said to you, That ye have seen me, and do not believe.
37 Ame siwo katã Fofo la tsɔ nam la, woava gbɔnye, eye nyemagbe wo xɔxɔ gbeɖe o.
All that my Father gave me, will come to me: and him, that cometh to me, I will not cast out.
38 Elabena nyemetso dziƒo va be mawɔ nye lɔlɔ̃nu o, ke boŋ be mawɔ ame si dɔm ɖa la ƒe lɔlɔ̃nu.
For I came down from heaven, not to do my own pleasure, but the pleasure of him that sent me.
39 Eye esiae nye ame si dɔm la ƒe lɔlɔ̃nu be magabu ame siwo wòtsɔ nam la dometɔ aɖeke o, ke boŋ be mana woatsi tsitre le nuwuwuŋkeke la dzi.
And this is the pleasure of him that sent me, that whatever he hath given me, I should lose nothing of it, but should raise it up at the last day.
40 Elabena Fofonye ƒe lɔlɔ̃nue nye be ame sia ame si kpɔa Via dzi, eye wòxɔ edzi se la, akpɔ agbe mavɔ, eye mafɔe ɖe tsitre le nuwuwuŋkeke la dzi.” (aiōnios g166)
For this is the pleasure of my Father, that every one who seeth the Son, and believeth on him, should have life eternal; and I will raise him up at the last day. (aiōnios g166)
41 Azɔ Yudatɔwo de asi liʋĩliʋĩlilĩ me le eŋu, le esi wògblɔ be yee nye abolo si tso dziƒo va la ta.
Then the Jews murmured at him, because he said: I am the bread, who have descended from heaven.
42 Wogblɔ be, “Nu ka! Menye ame siae nye Yesu, Yosef ƒe vi la oa? Míenya fofoa kple dadaa ɖe! Nu ka ta wòle gbɔgblɔm na mí fifia be, ‘Metso dziƒo va ɖo?’”
And they said: Is not this Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? And how doth he say: I came down from heaven?
43 Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Migalĩ liʋĩliʋĩ be megblɔ nya sia o.
Jesus replied and said to them: Murmur not, one with another.
44 Ame aɖeke mate ŋu ava gbɔnye o, negbe Fofo si dɔm ɖa la hee ɖe ŋunye, eye le nuwuwuŋkeke la dzi la, mana ame siawo natsi tsitre.
No man can come to me, unless the Father who sent me, shall draw him; and I will raise him up at the last day.
45 Abe ale si woŋlɔe ɖe Nyagblɔɖilawo ƒe agbalẽ me ene la, ‘Mawu afia nu wo katã.’ Ame siwo katã ɖo to Fofo la, eye wosrɔ̃ nyateƒe la le egbɔ la vaa gbɔnye.
For it is written, in the prophet: And they shall all be taught of God. Whoever, therefore, heareth from the Father, and learneth from him, cometh to me.
46 Ame aɖeke mekpɔ Mawu kpɔ o, negbe ame si tso Mawu gbɔ la koe kpɔ Fofo la.
Not that any one hath seen the Father, except him who hath come from God; he it is, hath seen the Father.
Verily, verily, I say to you: That, to him who believeth in me, there is life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
48 Nyee nye agbebolo la!
I am the bread of life.
49 Togbɔ be mia fofowo ɖu mana si tso dziƒo hã la, woku.
Your fathers ate the manna, in the wilderness, and they died.
50 Ke esiae nye abolo si tso dziƒo va, esi ame aɖu, eye maku o.
But this is the bread which cometh from heaven, that a man may eat of it, and not die.
51 Nyee nye agbebolo si tso dziƒo va. Ne ame aɖe ɖu abolo sia la, anɔ agbe tegbee. Abolo siae nye nye ŋutilã si matsɔ ana ɖe xexea me ƒe agbe ta.” (aiōn g165)
I am the bread of life, who have come down from heaven: and if a man shall eat of this bread, he will live for ever. And the bread which I shall give, is my body, which I give for the life of the world. (aiōn g165)
52 Azɔ ʋiʋli gaɖo Yudatɔwo dome ɖe nya si Yesu gblɔ la ta. Wobia wo nɔewo be, “Aleke ŋutsu sia atsɔ eƒe ŋutilã na mí be míaɖu?”
Then the Jews contended one with another, and said: How can he give us his body to eat?
53 Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Nyateƒe gblɔm mele na mi be, ne ame aɖe meɖu Amegbetɔ Vi la ƒe ŋutilã, eye wòno eƒe ʋu o la, agbe manɔ eme o.
And Jesus said to them: Verily, verily, I say to you, That, unless ye eat the body of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life within you.
54 Ame si ɖu nye ŋutilã, eye wòno nye ʋu la, agbe mavɔ le esi, eye mafɔe ɖe tsitre le nuwuwuŋkeke la dzi. (aiōnios g166)
But he that eateth of my body, and drinketh of my blood, to him is life eternal; and I will raise him up at the last day (aiōnios g166)
55 Elabena nye ŋutilã nye nuɖuɖu vavã, eye nye ʋu nye nunono vavã.
For my body truly is food, and my blood truly is drink.
56 Ame si ɖua nye ŋutilã, eye wònoa nye ʋu la nye ame si le menye, eye nye hã mele eme.
He that eateth my body, and drinketh my blood, abideth in me, and I in him
57 Abe ale si Fofo gbagbe la dɔm ɖa, eye mele agbe le Fofo la ta ene la, nenema ke ame si ɖua nye ŋutilã la anɔ agbe, elabena mena agbe wo.
As the living Father hath sent me, and I live because of the Father; so he that shall eat me, he also will live because of me.
58 Nyee nye abolo tso dziƒo va. Mia fofowo ɖu mana, eye woku, ke ame si aɖu abolo sia ƒe ɖe la, anɔ agbe tso mavɔ me yi mavɔ me.” (aiōn g165)
This is the bread that came down from heaven: not as your fathers ate the manna, and died; whoever shall eat of this bead, will live for ever. (aiōn g165)
59 Yesu gblɔ nya siawo esime wònɔ nu fiam le Yudatɔwo ƒe ƒuƒoƒe le Kapernaum.
These things he uttered in the synagogue, while teaching at Capernaum.
60 Esi Yesu ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo se nya sia la, wo dometɔ geɖewo gblɔ be, “Nufiafia sia sesẽ. Ame kae ate ŋu awɔ nu siawo?”
And many of his disciples who heard him, said: This is a hard speech, who can hear it.
61 Yesu de dzesii be yeƒe nusrɔ̃lawo le liʋĩliʋĩ lĩm, eya ta egblɔ na wo be, “Ɖe nye nyawo ɖia mia nua?
And Jesus knew in himself, that his disciples murmured at this; and he said to them, Doth this stumble you?
62 Ekema miekpɔ Amegbetɔ Vi la wòyina ɖe dziƒo, afi si wòtso va ɖe!
If then, ye were to see the Son of man ascend, to where he was from the beginning!
63 Gbɔgbɔ la naa agbe; wɔna aɖeke mele ŋutilã ya ŋu o. Nya siwo megblɔ na mi la nye Gbɔgbɔ kple agbe.
It is the Spirit that vivifieth; the body profiteth nothing. The words which I have used with you, they are spirit, and they are life.
64 Gake mia dometɔ aɖewo mexɔ dzinye se o.” Ke Yesu nya ame siwo mexɔ edzi se o, kple ame si le ede ge asi la tso gɔmedzedzea me ke.
But there are some of you, that believe not. For Jesus knew, from the beginning, who they were that believed not, and who it was that would betray him.
65 Yesu gagblɔ be, “Esia ta megblɔ na mi be ame aɖeke mate ŋu ava gbɔnye o, negbe Fofo la ŋutɔe hee ɖe ŋunye.”
And he said to them: For this reason, I said to you, That no one can come to me, unless it be given to him by my Father.
66 Tso esia dzi la, eƒe nusrɔ̃la geɖewo trɔ dzo le egbɔ, eye womegadzea eyome o.
On account of this speech, many of his disciples turned back, and walked not with him.
67 Yesu bia nusrɔ̃la wuieveawo be, “Miawo hã, miedi be yewoadzoa?”
And Jesus said to the twelve: Are ye also disposed to go away?
68 Simɔn Petro ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Aƒetɔ, ame ka gbɔ míadzo ayi? Agbe mavɔ nyawo le asiwò. (aiōnios g166)
Simon Cephas replied, and said: My Lord, to whom shall we go? The words of life eternal are with thee. (aiōnios g166)
69 Míexɔe se, eye mienyae be wòe nye Mawu ƒe Vi Kɔkɔe la.”
And we believe, and know, that thou art the Messiah, the Son of the living God.
70 Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Mi ame wuievee metia, gake mia dometɔ ɖeka nye Abosam!”
Jesus said to them: Have not I chosen you twelve? Yet one of you is a devil.
71 (Yesu gblɔ nya sia tso Yuda, Simɔn Iskariɔt ƒe vi, ame si nye ame wuieveawo dometɔ ɖeka, ame si afia eyomemɔ emegbe la ŋu.)
This he spoke of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon; for he was afterwards to betray him, being one of the twelve.
