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 over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.
2 Ameha gã aɖe nɔ eyome, elabena wokpɔ nukunu siwo wòwɔ heda gbe le dɔnɔwo ŋu.
And a great multitude followed Him, because they saw his miracles which He performed on them that were diseased.
3 Yesu lia togbɛ aɖe, eye eya kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo nɔ anyi ɖe afi ma.
So Jesus went up to a mountain, and there He sat down with his disciples.
4 Yudatɔwo ƒe Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la hã tu aƒe.
And the passover, a feast of the Jews, 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?”
Then Jesus lifted up his eyes, and seeing a great multitude come to Him, saith to Philip, Whence shall we buy bread that these people 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 going to do: )
7 Filipo ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Ɣleti ade ƒe fetu gɔ̃ hã mate ŋu aƒle nuɖuɖu wòade na ameha sia o!”
Philip answered Him, Two hundred penny-worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one may take a little.
8 Eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dometɔ ɖeka, Andrea, Simɔn Petro nɔvi, gblɔ nɛ be,
One of his disciples, to wit, Andrew the brother of Simon Peter,
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?”
saith unto Him, There is a lad here, that hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes; but what are they among so many?
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.
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.
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 loaves, and when He had given thanks, He distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were sat down; and of the fishes likewise, as much as they would take.
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 filled, He saith to his disciples, Gather up the fragments that are left, that nothing may be lost.
13 Ale woƒo abolo wuwluiawo katã nu ƒu, eye wòyɔ kusi wuieve sɔŋ.
They therefore gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley-loaves, which remained after they had eaten.
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.”
Therefore the people when they had seen the miracle that Jesus wrought, said, this is certainly the 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.
Jesus therefore knowing that they would come, and take Him by force if possible, to make Him king, retired again to the mountain Himself alone.
16 Le fiẽ me la, nusrɔ̃lawo yi ƒuta ɖanɔ elalam le afi ma.
And when evening was come, 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 having entered into a ship were going over the Sea towards Capernaum: and it was now dark, and Jesus was not yet come to them.
18 Ya sesẽ aɖe de asi ƒoƒo me, eye ƒu la dze agbo.
And the sea rose high by reason of a violent wind.
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,
So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and near the ship: and they were affrighted.
20 ke egblɔ na wo be, “Nyee, migavɔ̃ o.”
But He saith unto 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.
They desired therefore to take Him into the ship: and immediately the vessel 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.
The day following the people that staid on the other side of the sea, seeing there was no other boat there, but that one into which his disciples embarked, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples went away alone:
23 Tete ʋu bubu aɖewo tso Tiberia va ɖo afi si ameawo ɖu abolo si Aƒetɔ la yra kple akpedada le.
though there came other vessels from Tiberias, near the place where they had eaten bread after the Lord had given thanks: when therefore the people saw that Jesus was not there,
24 Esi ameawo kpɔ be Yesu alo eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo menɔ afi ma o la, woɖo ʋuawo heyi Kapernaum be yewoaɖadi Yesu.
nor his disciples; they also went into those vessels, and came to Capernaum seeking 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 unto Him, 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 answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.
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)
Labour not so much for the meat that perisheth, but rather for that food which endureth unto life eternal, which the Son of man will give you: for Him hath God the Father sealed. (aiōnios g166)
28 Ameawo biae be, “Nu ka míawɔ be míawɔ dɔ siwo Mawu di?”
Therefore said they unto Him, What should we do, that we may work the works approved of God?
29 Yesu ɖo eŋu be, “Enye Mawu ƒe didi be miaxɔ ame si wòɖo ɖa la dzi ase.”
Jesus answered and said unto 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?
Therefore said they unto Him, What sign dost thou shew, that we may see it, and believe Thee? What work dost thou do?
31 Mía fofowo ɖu mana le gbea dzi abe ale si woŋlɔe ɖi ene be, ‘Ena abolo wo tso dziƒo be woaɖu.’”
Our fathers did eat manna in the desert, 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.
Therefore Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I tell you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven, but my Father giveth you the true 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 that which descendeth from heaven, and giveth life to the world.
34 Ameawo gblɔ be, “Aƒetɔ, tso fifia heyi la, na abolo sia mí.”
Therefore said they unto Him, Lord, evermore give us 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.
Then Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger, and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
36 Gake abe ale si megblɔ do ŋgɔe ene la, miekpɔm, gake miexɔ dzinye se o.
But I have told you, so that ye have seen me, and yet ye do not believe.
37 Ame siwo katã Fofo la tsɔ nam la, woava gbɔnye, eye nyemagbe wo xɔxɔ gbeɖe o.
All that the Father giveth me, will come unto 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 will, but the will 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 will of the Father who sent me, that of all that He hath given me, I should lose none, but should raise them 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)
And this is the will of Him that sent me, that every one who looketh attentively at the Son, and so believeth on Him, may have eternal life: 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.
The Jews then murmured about Him; because He said, I am the bread that came down 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 to one another, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we knew? How then does He say, I came down from heaven?
43 Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Migalĩ liʋĩliʋĩ be megblɔ nya sia o.
Jesus therefore said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.
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 one can come to me, unless the Father, who hath sent me, 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.
It is written in the prophets, "And they shall all be taught of God." Every one therefore that hath heard and learned from the Father, cometh unto 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, but He who is from God.
He hath seen the Father. Verily, verily, I declare unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
48 Nyee nye agbebolo la!
I am the bread of life. Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead:
49 Togbɔ be mia fofowo ɖu mana si tso dziƒo hã la, woku.
but this is the bread which cometh down from heaven,
50 Ke esiae nye abolo si tso dziƒo va, esi ame aɖu, eye maku o.
that any one may eat thereof 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 living bread, which came down from heaven: if any one eat of this bread, he shall live for ever. And the bread, that I will give, is my flesh, which I will give up 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?”
The Jews therefore cavilled amongst themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh 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.
Then said Jesus unto them, I tell you truly, that unless ye eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, ye have no life in 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)
He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life, 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 flesh is truly food, and my blood is truly drink: he that feedeth on my flesh and drinketh my blood,
56 Ame si ɖua nye ŋutilã, eye wònoa nye ʋu la nye ame si le menye, eye nye hã mele eme.
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 by the Father; so he that feedeth on me he also shall live by 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 did eat, and yet are dead. He that eateth this bread shall live for ever. (aiōn g165)
59 Yesu gblɔ nya siawo esime wònɔ nu fiam le Yudatɔwo ƒe ƒuƒoƒe le Kapernaum.
These things He said in the synagogue, when He was teaching in 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?”
Many therefore of his disciples, when they heard Him, said, This discourse is hard to be understood, who can take it in?
61 Yesu de dzesii be yeƒe nusrɔ̃lawo le liʋĩliʋĩ lĩm, eya ta egblɔ na wo be, “Ɖe nye nyawo ɖia mia nua?
But Jesus knowing in Himself, that his disciples were murmuring about it, said unto them, Does this offend you?
62 Ekema miekpɔ Amegbetɔ Vi la wòyina ɖe dziƒo, afi si wòtso va ɖe!
What then, if ye should see the Son of man ascending up, where He was before?
63 Gbɔgbɔ la naa agbe; wɔna aɖeke mele ŋutilã ya ŋu o. Nya siwo megblɔ na mi la nye Gbɔgbɔ kple agbe.
The spirit is the principle of life, the flesh availeth nothing: now the words that I speak unto you are spirit, and therefore 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 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, ) therefore I told you, that no one can come unto me except it be given him from my Father.
66 Tso esia dzi la, eƒe nusrɔ̃la geɖewo trɔ dzo le egbɔ, eye womegadzea eyome o.
From this time many of his disciples went away, and walked no more with Him.
67 Yesu bia nusrɔ̃la wuieveawo be, “Miawo hã, miedi be yewoadzoa?”
Jesus therefore said to the twelve, Have ye also a mind to go away?
68 Simɔn Petro ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Aƒetɔ, ame ka gbɔ míadzo ayi? Agbe mavɔ nyawo le asiwò. (aiōnios g166)
Then Simon Peter answered Him, Lord, to whom shall we go? (aiōnios g166)
69 Míexɔe se, eye mienyae be wòe nye Mawu ƒe Vi Kɔkɔe la.”
Thou hast the words of eternal life. 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 answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and 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.)
Now He spake of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon; for he was about to betray Him, though he was one of the twelve apostles.
