Johana 6
1 Thuutha wa maũndũ macio, Jesũ akĩringa mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ wa Iria rĩa Galili (na norĩo rĩĩtagwo Iria rĩa Tiberia),
Afterward, Jesus crossed the sea of Galilee, also called of Tiberias;
2 nakĩo kĩrĩndĩ kĩnene kĩa andũ gĩkĩmũrũmĩrĩra tondũ nĩkĩoneete ciama iria aaringĩire andũ arĩa maarĩ arũaru.
and a great multitude followed him, because they had seen the miraculous cures which he had performed.
3 Nake Jesũ akĩambata kĩrĩma-inĩ, agĩikara thĩ marĩ hamwe na arutwo ake.
And Jesus went up on a mountain; where he sat down with his disciples.
4 Nakĩo Gĩathĩ gĩa Bathaka ya Ayahudi nĩgĩakuhĩrĩirie.
Now the passover, the Jewish festival, was near.
5 Rĩrĩa Jesũ aarorire akĩona kĩrĩndĩ kĩnene gĩgĩũka kũrĩ we, akĩũria Filipu atĩrĩ, “Tũkũgũra mĩgate kũ andũ aya marĩe?”
Jesus, lifting up his eyes, and perceiving that a great multitude was flocking to him, said to Philip, Whence shall we buy bread to feed these people?
6 Oririe ũguo nĩguo amũgerie, nĩgũkorwo we nĩooĩ ũrĩa egwĩka.
(This he said to try him; for he knew himself, what he was to do.)
7 Nake Filipu akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũcara wa mĩeri ĩnana ndũngĩgũra mĩgate ya kũigana nĩguo o mũndũ arũme kenyũ!”
Philip answered, Two hundred denarii would not purchase bread enough to afford every one a morsel.
8 Nake mũrutwo ũngĩ wake wetagwo Anderea, mũrũ wa nyina na Simoni Petero, akiuga atĩrĩ,
One of his 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?”
Here is a boy who has five barley loaves, and two small fishes; but what are they among so many?
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, Make the men recline. Now, there was much grass in the place. So they reclined; 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.
And Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks, distributed them to those who had reclined. He gave them also of the fishes, as much as they would.
12 Rĩrĩa othe maarĩire na makĩhũũna, akĩĩra arutwo ake atĩrĩ, “Ũnganiai cienyũ iria ciatigara. Mũtikareke kĩndũ o na kĩrĩkũ kĩũrĩre.”
When they had eat sufficiently, he said to his disciples, Gather up the fragments which remain, that nothing be lost.
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.
They, therefore, gathered, and with the fragments which the people had left of the five barley loaves, they filled twelve baskets.
14 Thuutha wa andũ kuona ciama iria Jesũ aaringĩte, makĩambĩrĩria kuuga atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ ũyũ nĩwe mũnabii ũrĩa ũgooka gũkũ thĩ.”
When those men had seen the miracle which Jesus had wrought they said, This is certainly the prophet who comes 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.
Then Jesus, knowing that they intended to come and carry him off, to make him king, withdrew again, alone, to the mountain.
16 Rĩrĩa gwakinyire hwaĩ-inĩ arutwo ake magĩikũrũka nginya iria-inĩ,
In the evening, his disciples went to the sea,
17 magĩtoonya marikabu, makĩringa iria marorete Kaperinaumu. Hĩndĩ ĩyo kwarĩ nduma, na Jesũ ndaathiĩte kũrĩ o.
and having embarked, were passing by sea to Capernaum. It was now dark; and Jesus had not come to them.
18 Nĩ kwarĩ na makũmbĩ ma maaĩ tondũ wa rũhuho rũnene rũrĩa rwahurutanaga.
And the water was raised by a tempestuous wind.
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 furlongs, they observed Jesus walking on the sea, very near the bark, and were afraid.
20 Nowe akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Nĩ niĩ; tigai gwĩtigĩra.”
But he said to them, It is I, be not afraid.
21 Magĩtĩkĩra atoonye thĩinĩ wa marikabu, na kahinda o kau marikabu ĩgĩkinya hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia kũrĩa maathiiaga.
Then they gladly received him into the bark; and the bark was immediately at the place whither 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.
On the next day, the people who were on the seaside, knowing that there had been but one boat there, and that Jesus went not into the boat with his disciples, who went alone,
23 No ningĩ gũgĩũka marikabu ingĩ ciumĩte Tiberia ikĩrũgama hakuhĩ na harĩa andũ maarĩĩrĩire mĩgate thuutha wa Mwathani gũcookeria Ngai ngaatho.
(other boats, however, arrived from Tiberias, nigh the place where they had eat, 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.
knowing, besides, that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, embarked, and went to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.
25 Rĩrĩa maamũkorire mũrĩmo ũũrĩa ũngĩ wa iria makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Rabii, ũkinyire gũkũ rĩ?”
Having found him on the opposite shore, they said to him, Rabbi, when did you come hither?
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 say to you, you seek me, not because you saw miracles, but because you eat of the loaves, and were satisfied.
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)
Work not for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures through eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you; for to him the Father, that is, God, has given his attestation. (aiōnios g166)
28 Magĩcooka makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Twagĩrĩirwo nĩ gwĩka atĩa nĩgeetha tũrutage mawĩra marĩa Ngai endaga?”
They asked him, therefore, What are the works which God requires us to do?
29 Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Wĩra wa Ngai nĩ ũyũ: nĩ mwĩtĩkie ũrĩa we atũmĩte.”
Jesus answered, This is the work which God requires--that you believe on him whom he has sent forth.
30 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ciama irĩkũ ũgũtũringĩra tuone nĩguo tũgwĩtĩkie? Ũgwĩka atĩa?
They replied, What miracles, then, do you, that seeing it, we may believe you? What do you perform?
31 Maithe maitũ ma tene maarĩĩaga mana kũu werũ-inĩ; o ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ: ‘Aamaheire mĩgate kuuma igũrũ marĩe.’”
Our fathers eat the manna in the desert; as it is written, "He gave them bread of 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 then said to them, Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread of heaven: but my Father gives you the true bread of heaven:
33 Nĩgũkorwo mũgate wa Ngai nĩ ũrĩa ũikũrũkaga kuuma igũrũ akahe kĩrĩndĩ gĩa thĩ muoyo wa tene na tene.”
for the bread of God is that which descends from heaven, and gives life to the world.
34 Nao makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũthuuri ũyũ, kuuma rĩu tũheage mũgate ũcio.”
They said, therefore, to him, Master, give us always this bread.
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 answered, I am the bread of life. He who comes to me, shall never hunger; and he who believes on me, shall never thirst.
36 No rĩrĩ, o ta ũrĩa ndĩmwĩrĩte, nĩmũnyonete, no mũtirĩ mũretĩkia.
But, as I told you, though you have seen me, you do not believe.
37 Arĩa othe Baba ahee nĩmarĩũkaga kũrĩ niĩ, na ũrĩa wothe ũgooka kũrĩ niĩ ndikamũingata o na rĩ.
All the Father gives me, will come to me; and him who comes to me, I will not reject.
38 Nĩgũkorwo ndiikũrũkĩte kuuma igũrũ njũke gwĩka wendi wakwa niĩ mwene, no njũkĩte gwĩka wendi wa ũrĩa wandũmire.
For I descended from heaven to do, not 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.
Now, this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose none of all he has given me, but raise the whole again 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 the will of him who sent me, that whoever recognizes the Son, and believes on him, should obtain eternal life, and that I should raise him again 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 murmured against him, because he said, I am the bread which descended 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’?”
and they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How, then, does he say, I descended from heaven!
43 Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Tigai kũngʼongʼora gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu.
Jesus answered, Murmur not amongst yourselves:
44 Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩũka kũrĩ niĩ ataguucĩrĩirio nĩ Baba ũrĩa wandũmire, na niĩ nĩngamũriũkia mũthenya wa kũrigĩrĩria.
no man can come to me, unless the Father, who has sent me, draw him; and him I will raise again at 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 is written in the prophets, "They shall be taught of God." Every one 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.
Not that any man, except him who is from God, has seen the Father.
Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes on me has eternal 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 fathers eat the manna in the desert, and died.
50 No ũyũ nĩguo mũgate ũrĩa ũikũrũkĩte kuuma igũrũ, ũrĩa mũndũ angĩrĩa na ndakue.
Behold the bread which descended from heaven, that whosoever eats of it may 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, which descended from heaven. Whosoever eats of this bread, shall live forever; and the bread that I will give, is my flesh, which I give for the life of the world. (aiōn g165)
52 Hĩndĩ ĩyo nao Ayahudi makĩambĩrĩria gũkararania mũno o ene, makoorania atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũyũ angĩhota atĩa gũtũhe mwĩrĩ wake tũrĩe?”
The Jews then debated 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.
Jesus, therefore, said to them, Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink his blood, you have not 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)
He that eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, has eternal life; and I will raise him again 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 truly meat, and my blood is truly drink.
56 Ũrĩa wothe ũrĩĩaga mwĩrĩ wakwa na akanyua thakame yakwa aikaraga thĩinĩ wakwa na niĩ ngaikara thĩinĩ wake.
He who eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, abides in me, and I abide in him.
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.
As the Father lives, who sent me; and I live by the Father; even so he, who feeds on me, shall live by 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 descended from heaven. It is not like what your fathers eat, for they died: he that eats this bread, shall live for ever. (aiōn g165)
59 Maũndũ macio aamaaririe rĩrĩa aarutanaga thunagogi-inĩ kũu Kaperinaumu.
This discourse he spoke in the synagogue, teaching in Capernaum.
60 Arutwo ake aingĩ maigua ũguo makiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ nĩ ũrutani mũritũ mũno, nũũ ũngĩhota kũwĩtĩkĩra?”
Many of his disciples having heard it, said, This is hard doctrine; who can understand it?
61 Jesũ amenya atĩ arutwo ake nĩmangʼongʼoraga nĩ ũndũ wa ũhoro ũcio akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ ũhoro ũcio wamũrakaria?
Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at it, said to them, Does this offend you?
62 Ĩ mũngĩkĩona Mũrũ wa Mũndũ akĩambata igũrũ kũrĩa aarĩ mbere!
What if you should see the Son of Man reascending thither, where he was before?
63 Roho aheanaga muoyo; mwĩrĩ ndũrĩ kĩene. Ciugo iria ndamwarĩria nĩ roho na nĩcio muoyo.
It is the Spirit that quickens; the flesh profits nothing. The words which 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.
But there are some of you who do not believe. (For Jesus knew from the beginning, who they were that did not believe, and who he was that would betray him.)
65 Agĩthiĩ na mbere, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩkĩo ndamwĩrire atĩ gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩhota gũũka kũrĩ niĩ atahotithĩtio nĩ Baba.”
He added, Therefore, I said to you, that no man can come to me, unless it be given him by my Father.
66 Kuuma hĩndĩ ĩyo, arutwo ake aingĩ makĩhũndũka, na matiacookire kũmũrũmĩrĩra.
From this time, many of his disciples withdrew, and accompanied him no longer.
67 Jesũ akĩũria arĩa ikũmi na eerĩ atĩrĩ, “O na inyuĩ kaĩ mũrenda gũthiĩ?”
Then said Jesus to the twelve, Will you also go away?
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, Master, to whom should we go? You have the words of eternal life: (aiōnios g166)
69 Nĩtwĩtĩkĩtie na tũkamenya atĩ wee nĩwe ũrĩa Mũtheru wa Ngai.”
and we believe, and know that you are the Holy One of God.
70 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Jesũ akĩmacookeria akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Githĩ ti niĩ ndĩmũthuurĩte mũrĩ ikũmi na eerĩ? No ũmwe wanyu nĩ ndaimono!”
Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve? yet one of you is a spy.
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 meant Judas Iscariot, son of Simon; for it was he who was to betray him, though he was one of the twelve.
