Johana 6
1 Thuutha wa maũndũ macio, Jesũ akĩringa mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ wa Iria rĩa Galili (na norĩo rĩĩtagwo Iria rĩa Tiberia),
After this, Jesus went to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, also called the Sea of Tiberias.
2 nakĩo kĩrĩndĩ kĩnene kĩa andũ gĩkĩmũrũmĩrĩra tondũ nĩkĩoneete ciama iria aaringĩire andũ arĩa maarĩ arũaru.
A great multitude was following Him, because they were seeing the signs that He was performing on those who were sick.
3 Nake Jesũ akĩambata kĩrĩma-inĩ, agĩikara thĩ marĩ hamwe na arutwo ake.
Jesus went up on a mountain side, and sat down with His disciples.
4 Nakĩo Gĩathĩ gĩa Bathaka ya Ayahudi nĩgĩakuhĩrĩirie.
The Jewish Passover Feast was near.
5 Rĩrĩa Jesũ aarorire akĩona kĩrĩndĩ kĩnene gĩgĩũka kũrĩ we, akĩũria Filipu atĩrĩ, “Tũkũgũra mĩgate kũ andũ aya marĩe?”
Jesus looked up, and saw that a great multitude was coming to Him, so He asked Philip, “Where can we buy bread, so that these may eat?”
6 Oririe ũguo nĩguo amũgerie, nĩgũkorwo we nĩooĩ ũrĩa egwĩka.
He said this to test him, for He knew what He would do.
7 Nake Filipu akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũcara wa mĩeri ĩnana ndũngĩgũra mĩgate ya kũigana nĩguo o mũndũ arũme kenyũ!”
Philip answered, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread wouldn’t even be enough for everyone to receive a little!”
8 Nake mũrutwo ũngĩ wake wetagwo Anderea, mũrũ wa nyina na Simoni Petero, akiuga atĩrĩ,
One of Jesus’ disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to Him,
9 “Haha harĩ kahĩĩ karĩ na mĩgate ĩtano ya mũtu wa cairi na thamaki igĩrĩ nini, no ingĩkĩigana atĩa andũ marĩ aingĩ ũũ?”
“There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what is that among so many people?”
10 Nake Jesũ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ĩraai andũ maikare thĩ.” Hau maarĩ haarĩ na nyeki nyingĩ, nao arũme magĩikara thĩ, na maarĩ ta arũme ngiri ithano.
Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” There was plenty of grass there, so the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
11 Jesũ agĩcooka akĩoya mĩgate ĩyo, agĩcookia ngaatho na akĩgaĩra arĩa maikarĩte thĩ kũringana na mũigana ũrĩa o mũndũ angĩendire. Agĩcooka agĩĩka o ũguo na thamaki.
Jesus took the loaves, and when He had given thanks, He distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to those sitting down. He did likewise with the fish, as much as they wanted.
12 Rĩrĩa othe maarĩire na makĩhũũna, akĩĩra arutwo ake atĩrĩ, “Ũnganiai cienyũ iria ciatigara. Mũtikareke kĩndũ o na kĩrĩkũ kĩũrĩre.”
When they were filled, He told His disciples, “Gather up the leftover pieces, so that nothing may be wasted.”
13 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩciũngania, makĩiyũria ikabũ ikũmi na igĩrĩ na icunjĩ cia mĩgate ĩrĩa ĩtano ya cairi, iria ciatigirio nĩ andũ acio maarĩkia kũrĩa.
Therefore they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves, which were left over by those who had eaten.
14 Thuutha wa andũ kuona ciama iria Jesũ aaringĩte, makĩambĩrĩria kuuga atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ ũyũ nĩwe mũnabii ũrĩa ũgooka gũkũ thĩ.”
When the people saw the sign which He had performed, they said, “This is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world.”
15 Nake Jesũ akĩmenya atĩ nĩmendaga mamũtue mũthamaki wao na hinya, nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩmeherera o rĩngĩ, akĩambata kĩrĩma-inĩ arĩ wiki.
When Jesus perceived that they meant to come and take Him by force to make Him king, He withdrew again to the mountain by Himself.
16 Rĩrĩa gwakinyire hwaĩ-inĩ arutwo ake magĩikũrũka nginya iria-inĩ,
When evening came, Jesus’ disciples went down to the sea,
17 magĩtoonya marikabu, makĩringa iria marorete Kaperinaumu. Hĩndĩ ĩyo kwarĩ nduma, na Jesũ ndaathiĩte kũrĩ o.
got into the boat, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. It was already dark, and Jesus had not come to them.
18 Nĩ kwarĩ na makũmbĩ ma maaĩ tondũ wa rũhuho rũnene rũrĩa rwahurutanaga.
The sea arose because a great wind was blowing.
19 Na hĩndĩ ĩrĩa maatwarithĩtie marikabu ta kilomita ithano kana ithathatũ, makĩona Jesũ agĩũka kũrĩ marikabu-inĩ agereire maaĩ igũrũ; nao makĩmaka.
When they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near the boat. They were terrified,
20 Nowe akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Nĩ niĩ; tigai gwĩtigĩra.”
but He told them, “It’s me. Don’t be afraid.”
21 Magĩtĩkĩra atoonye thĩinĩ wa marikabu, na kahinda o kau marikabu ĩgĩkinya hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia kũrĩa maathiiaga.
Then they willingly took Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.
22 Mũthenya ũcio ũngĩ, kĩrĩndĩ kĩrĩa kĩarĩ mũrĩmo ũũrĩa ũngĩ wa iria gĩkĩmenya atĩ no marikabu ĩmwe yarĩ ho, na atĩ Jesũ ndaamĩingĩrĩte hamwe na arutwo ake no maathiĩte marĩ oiki.
The next day, the crowd that had stayed on the other side of the sea saw that there had been only one boat there. They also saw that Jesus had not gone in the boat with His disciples, but that His disciples had gone away alone.
23 No ningĩ gũgĩũka marikabu ingĩ ciumĩte Tiberia ikĩrũgama hakuhĩ na harĩa andũ maarĩĩrĩire mĩgate thuutha wa Mwathani gũcookeria Ngai ngaatho.
Then some other boats from Tiberias landed near the place where the people had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.
24 Na rĩrĩa kĩrĩndĩ kĩamenyire atĩ Jesũ kana arutwo ake gũtirĩ warĩ ho, gĩkĩingĩra marikabu icio, gĩgĩthiĩ Kaperinaumu gũcaria Jesũ.
When the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor His disciples were there, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum looking for Jesus.
25 Rĩrĩa maamũkorire mũrĩmo ũũrĩa ũngĩ wa iria makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Rabii, ũkinyire gũkũ rĩ?”
When they found Him on the other side of the sea, they asked Him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?”
26 Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, inyuĩ mũtiranjaria nĩ ũndũ wa ciama iria mũronire, no nĩ ũndũ nĩmũrarĩire mĩgate mũrahũũna.
Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate the loaves and were filled.
27 Tigagai gũtangĩkĩra irio iria ithũkaga, no mwĩtangagei nĩ ũndũ wa irio iria cia gũtũũra nginya muoyo-inĩ wa tene na tene, iria Mũrũ wa Mũndũ akaamũhe. Ũcio nĩwe Ngai Ithe ahũũrĩte mũhũũri wa gwĩtĩkĩrĩka.” (aiōnios g166)
Don’t labor for perishable food, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him.” (aiōnios g166)
28 Magĩcooka makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Twagĩrĩirwo nĩ gwĩka atĩa nĩgeetha tũrutage mawĩra marĩa Ngai endaga?”
Then they asked Him, “What must we do to do God’s works?”
29 Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Wĩra wa Ngai nĩ ũyũ: nĩ mwĩtĩkie ũrĩa we atũmĩte.”
Jesus answered them, “This is God’s work, that you believe in Him who He has sent.”
30 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ciama irĩkũ ũgũtũringĩra tuone nĩguo tũgwĩtĩkie? Ũgwĩka atĩa?
Therefore they asked Him, “What sign will You perform then, that we may see it and believe You? What work will You do?
31 Maithe maitũ ma tene maarĩĩaga mana kũu werũ-inĩ; o ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ: ‘Aamaheire mĩgate kuuma igũrũ marĩe.’”
Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness. As it’s written, ‘He gave them bread from Heaven to eat.’”
32 Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, ti Musa wamũheire mũgate kuuma igũrũ, no nĩ Baba ũmũheaga mũgate ũrĩa wa ma kuuma igũrũ.
Jesus told them, “Most assuredly, I tell you, Moses didn’t give you the bread from Heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from Heaven.
33 Nĩgũkorwo mũgate wa Ngai nĩ ũrĩa ũikũrũkaga kuuma igũrũ akahe kĩrĩndĩ gĩa thĩ muoyo wa tene na tene.”
For God’s bread is He who comes down from Heaven and gives life to the world.”
34 Nao makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũthuuri ũyũ, kuuma rĩu tũheage mũgate ũcio.”
Then they said to Him, “Lord, give us this bread forever.”
35 Nake Jesũ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ nĩ niĩ mũgate wa muoyo. Mũndũ ũrĩa ũũkaga kũrĩ niĩ ndakahũũta o na rĩ, na ũrĩa ũnjĩtĩkĩtie ndakanyoota o na rĩ.
Jesus told them, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.
36 No rĩrĩ, o ta ũrĩa ndĩmwĩrĩte, nĩmũnyonete, no mũtirĩ mũretĩkia.
As I told you, you have seen me, and yet you still don’t believe.
37 Arĩa othe Baba ahee nĩmarĩũkaga kũrĩ niĩ, na ũrĩa wothe ũgooka kũrĩ niĩ ndikamũingata o na rĩ.
All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away.
38 Nĩgũkorwo ndiikũrũkĩte kuuma igũrũ njũke gwĩka wendi wakwa niĩ mwene, no njũkĩte gwĩka wendi wa ũrĩa wandũmire.
I have come down from Heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of Him who sent me.
39 Naguo ũyũ nĩguo wendi wa ũrĩa wandũmire, atĩ ndigaate o na ũmwe wa arĩa othe aaheete, no ngaamariũkia mũthenya wa kũrigĩrĩria.
This is the will of the Father who sent me, that of all He has given me I should lose none, but should raise them up at the last day.
40 Nĩgũkorwo wendi wa Baba nĩ atĩ ũrĩa wothe wonete Mũriũ na akamwĩtĩkia nĩakagĩa na muoyo wa tene na tene, na nĩngamũriũkia mũthenya wa kũrigĩrĩria.” (aiōnios g166)
This is also the will of Him who sent me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise them up at the last day.” (aiōnios g166)
41 Ayahudi maigua ũguo makĩambĩrĩria kũngʼongʼora nĩ ũndũ wake tondũ nĩoigĩte atĩrĩ, “Niĩ nĩ niĩ mũgate ũrĩa waikũrũkire kuuma igũrũ.”
The Jews then grumbled about Jesus, because He said, “I am the bread which came down from Heaven.”
42 Makiuga atĩrĩ, “Githĩ ũyũ ti Jesũ mũrũ wa Jusufu, ũrĩa ithe na nyina tũũĩ? Rĩu angĩhota atĩa kuuga atĩ, ‘Niĩ ndaikũrũkire kuuma igũrũ’?”
They were saying, “Isn’t this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can He claim, ‘I have come down from Heaven’?”
43 Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Tigai kũngʼongʼora gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu.
Jesus answered, “Stop grumbling among yourselves.
44 Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩũka kũrĩ niĩ ataguucĩrĩirio nĩ Baba ũrĩa wandũmire, na niĩ nĩngamũriũkia mũthenya wa kũrigĩrĩria.
No one can come to me unless drawn by the Father who sent me, and I will raise that person up on the last day.
45 Nĩ kwandĩkĩtwo maandĩko-inĩ ma Anabii atĩrĩ, ‘Nao othe makaarutwo ũhoro nĩ Ngai.’ Nake ũrĩa wothe ũthikagĩrĩria Baba na akeeruta ũhoro kuuma kũrĩ we, nĩokaga kũrĩ niĩ.
It’s written in the prophets, ‘They will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me.
46 Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũrĩ ona Baba, tiga o ũrĩa uumĩte kũrĩ Ngai; we wiki nowe wonete Baba.
Nobody has seen the Father except the one who is from God. He has seen the Father.
Most assuredly, I tell you, everyone who believes in me has everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
48 Niĩ nĩ niĩ mũgate wa muoyo.
I am the bread of life.
49 Maithe manyu ma tene maarĩĩaga mana marĩ werũ-inĩ, na no maakuire.
Your forefathers ate manna in the wilderness, but they died.
50 No ũyũ nĩguo mũgate ũrĩa ũikũrũkĩte kuuma igũrũ, ũrĩa mũndũ angĩrĩa na ndakue.
This is the bread which comes down from Heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die.
51 Niĩ nĩ niĩ mũgate ũrĩa ũrĩ muoyo ũrĩa waikũrũkire kuuma igũrũ. Mũndũ o wothe ũngĩrĩa mũgate ũyũ, nĩagatũũra tene na tene. Mũgate ũyũ nĩ mwĩrĩ wakwa ũrĩa ngũheana nĩ ũndũ wa muoyo wa andũ a gũkũ thĩ.” (aiōn g165)
I am the living bread that came down from Heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live forever. The bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.” (aiōn g165)
52 Hĩndĩ ĩyo nao Ayahudi makĩambĩrĩria gũkararania mũno o ene, makoorania atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũyũ angĩhota atĩa gũtũhe mwĩrĩ wake tũrĩe?”
Therefore the Jews argued among themselves, saying, “How can this Man give us His flesh to eat?”
53 Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, mũtangĩrĩa mwĩrĩ wa Mũrũ wa Mũndũ na mũnyue thakame yake, mũtirĩ na muoyo thĩinĩ wanyu.
Then Jesus told them, “Most assuredly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink His blood, you have no life in you.
54 Ũrĩa wothe ũrĩĩaga mwĩrĩ wakwa na akanyua thakame yakwa arĩ na muoyo wa tene na tene, na nĩngamũriũkia mũthenya wa kũrigĩrĩria. (aiōnios g166)
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise that person up at the last day, (aiōnios g166)
55 Nĩgũkorwo mwĩrĩ wakwa nĩ irio kũna, nayo thakame yakwa nĩ kĩndũ gĩa kũnyua kũna.
for my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
56 Ũrĩa wothe ũrĩĩaga mwĩrĩ wakwa na akanyua thakame yakwa aikaraga thĩinĩ wakwa na niĩ ngaikara thĩinĩ wake.
One who eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me, and I in that person.
57 O ta ũrĩa Baba mũtũũra muoyo aandũmire na o ta ũrĩa na niĩ ndũũraga muoyo nĩ ũndũ wa Baba, noguo mũndũ ũrĩa ũndĩĩaga agaatũũra muoyo nĩ ũndũ wakwa.
Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me.
58 Ũyũ nĩguo mũgate ũrĩa waikũrũkire kuuma igũrũ. Maithe manyu maarĩire mana na nĩmakuire, no ũrĩa ũrĩĩaga mũgate ũyũ egũtũũra tene na tene.” (aiōn g165)
This is the bread which came down from Heaven, not like the manna your forefathers ate, and died. A person who eats this bread will live forever.” (aiōn g165)
59 Maũndũ macio aamaaririe rĩrĩa aarutanaga thunagogi-inĩ kũu Kaperinaumu.
He said this while teaching in the synagogue at Capernaum.
60 Arutwo ake aingĩ maigua ũguo makiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ nĩ ũrutani mũritũ mũno, nũũ ũngĩhota kũwĩtĩkĩra?”
Therefore when many of His disciples heard this, they said, “This is a hard teaching. Who can stand to hear it?”
61 Jesũ amenya atĩ arutwo ake nĩmangʼongʼoraga nĩ ũndũ wa ũhoro ũcio akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ ũhoro ũcio wamũrakaria?
Jesus, aware that his disciples were complaining about this, asked them, “Does this offend you?
62 Ĩ mũngĩkĩona Mũrũ wa Mũndũ akĩambata igũrũ kũrĩa aarĩ mbere!
What if you saw the Son of Man ascend to where He was before?
63 Roho aheanaga muoyo; mwĩrĩ ndũrĩ kĩene. Ciugo iria ndamwarĩria nĩ roho na nĩcio muoyo.
The Spirit gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit and life.
64 No nĩ kũrĩ amwe anyu matarĩ maretĩkia.” Nĩgũkorwo kuuma o kĩambĩrĩria Jesũ nĩooĩ arĩa matetĩkĩtie, na ũrĩa ũkaamũkunyanĩra.
Yet there are some of you who don’t believe.” Jesus knew from the beginning who didn’t believe, and who would betray Him.
65 Agĩthiĩ na mbere, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩkĩo ndamwĩrire atĩ gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩhota gũũka kũrĩ niĩ atahotithĩtio nĩ Baba.”
He said, “For this reason I have told you, that no one can come to me, unless it has been granted by the Father.”
66 Kuuma hĩndĩ ĩyo, arutwo ake aingĩ makĩhũndũka, na matiacookire kũmũrũmĩrĩra.
Because of this, many of His disciples turned back and didn’t walk with him any more.
67 Jesũ akĩũria arĩa ikũmi na eerĩ atĩrĩ, “O na inyuĩ kaĩ mũrenda gũthiĩ?”
Then Jesus asked the twelve, “Do you want to go away, too?”
68 Nake Simoni Petero akĩmũcookeria, atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, tũngĩthiĩ kũrĩ ũ? Wee nĩwe ũrĩ na ciugo cia muoyo wa tene na tene. (aiōnios g166)
Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, who will we go to? You have words of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
69 Nĩtwĩtĩkĩtie na tũkamenya atĩ wee nĩwe ũrĩa Mũtheru wa Ngai.”
We have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
70 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Jesũ akĩmacookeria akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Githĩ ti niĩ ndĩmũthuurĩte mũrĩ ikũmi na eerĩ? No ũmwe wanyu nĩ ndaimono!”
Jesus answered, “Didn’t I choose you, the twelve, yet one of you is a slanderer?”
71 (Aaragia ũhoro wa Judasi mũrũ wa Simoni Isikariota, tondũ o na aakorwo aarĩ ũmwe wa acio ikũmi na eerĩ, nĩwe warĩ amũkunyanĩre thuutha ũcio.)
He was speaking of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, for he, one of the twelve, was going to betray him.
