< Johana 6 >
1 Thuutha wa maũndũ macio, Jesũ akĩringa mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ wa Iria rĩa Galili (na norĩo rĩĩtagwo Iria rĩa Tiberia),
After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is [the sea] 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 saw his miracles which he performed on them that were diseased.
3 Nake Jesũ akĩambata kĩrĩma-inĩ, agĩikara thĩ marĩ hamwe na arutwo ake.
And Jesus went upon a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.
4 Nakĩo Gĩathĩ gĩa Bathaka ya Ayahudi nĩgĩakuhĩrĩirie.
And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.
5 Rĩrĩa Jesũ aarorire akĩona kĩrĩndĩ kĩnene gĩgĩũka kũrĩ we, akĩũria Filipu atĩrĩ, “Tũkũgũra mĩgate kũ andũ aya marĩe?”
When Jesus then lifted up [his] eyes, and saw a great company come to him, he saith to Philip, Whence shall we buy bread that these may eat?
6 Oririe ũguo nĩguo amũgerie, nĩgũkorwo we nĩooĩ ũrĩa egwĩka.
(And this he said to prove him: for he himself 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 him, Two hundred penny-worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them make take a little:
8 Nake mũrutwo ũngĩ wake wetagwo Anderea, mũrũ wa nyina na Simoni Petero, akiuga atĩrĩ,
One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith 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 lad here, who hath 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.
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 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 when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise 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 were satisfied, he said to his disciples, Gather the fragments that remain, that nothing may 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.
Therefore they gathered [them], and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley-loaves, which remained over and above to them that had eaten.
14 Thuutha wa andũ kuona ciama iria Jesũ aaringĩte, makĩambĩrĩria kuuga atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ ũyũ nĩwe mũnabii ũrĩa ũgooka gũkũ thĩ.”
Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus performed, said, This is truly that prophet that should 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 therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again to a mountain himself alone.
16 Rĩrĩa gwakinyire hwaĩ-inĩ arutwo ake magĩikũrũka nginya iria-inĩ,
And when evening had [now] come, his disciples went down to the sea,
17 magĩtoonya marikabu, makĩringa iria marorete Kaperinaumu. Hĩndĩ ĩyo kwarĩ nduma, na Jesũ ndaathiĩte kũrĩ o.
And entered into a boat, and went over the sea towards Capernaum. And 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 sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.
19 Na hĩndĩ ĩrĩa maatwarithĩtie marikabu ta kilomita ithano kana ithathatũ, makĩona Jesũ agĩũka kũrĩ marikabu-inĩ agereire maaĩ igũrũ; nao makĩmaka.
So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh to the boat: and they were afraid.
20 Nowe akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Nĩ niĩ; tigai gwĩtigĩra.”
But he saith 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 willingly received him into the boat: and immediately the boat was at the land 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.
The day following, when the people who stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, save that one into which his disciples had entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, 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.
(Yet there came other boats from Tiberias nigh to the place where they ate 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 people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.
25 Rĩrĩa maamũkorire mũrĩmo ũũrĩa ũngĩ wa iria makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Rabii, ũkinyire gũkũ rĩ?”
And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, Rabbi, when camest thou 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 them and said, Verily, verily, I say to you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye ate 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 )
Labor not for the food which perisheth, but for that food which endureth to everlasting life, which the Son of man will give to you: for him hath God the Father sealed. (aiōnios )
28 Magĩcooka makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Twagĩrĩirwo nĩ gwĩka atĩa nĩgeetha tũrutage mawĩra marĩa Ngai endaga?”
Then said they to him, What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?
29 Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Wĩra wa Ngai nĩ ũyũ: nĩ mwĩtĩkie ũrĩa we atũmĩte.”
Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
30 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ciama irĩkũ ũgũtũringĩra tuone nĩguo tũgwĩtĩkie? Ũgwĩka atĩa?
They said therefore to him, What sign showest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?
31 Maithe maitũ ma tene maarĩĩaga mana kũu werũ-inĩ; o ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ: ‘Aamaheire mĩgate kuuma igũrũ marĩe.’”
Our fathers ate manna in the desert; as it is 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.
Then Jesus said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth 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 the bread of God is he who cometh down from heaven, and giveth life to the world.
34 Nao makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũthuuri ũyũ, kuuma rĩu tũheage mũgate ũcio.”
Then said they to him, Lord, evermore give us 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.
And Jesus said to 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 No rĩrĩ, o ta ũrĩa ndĩmwĩrĩte, nĩmũnyonete, no mũtirĩ mũretĩkia.
But I said to you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.
37 Arĩa othe Baba ahee nĩmarĩũkaga kũrĩ niĩ, na ũrĩa wothe ũgooka kũrĩ niĩ ndikamũingata o na rĩ.
All that the Father giveth me, shall come to me; and him that cometh to me, I will in no wise reject.
38 Nĩgũkorwo ndiikũrũkĩte kuuma igũrũ njũke gwĩka wendi wakwa niĩ mwene, no njũkĩte gwĩka wendi wa ũrĩa wandũmire.
For I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me.
39 Naguo ũyũ nĩguo wendi wa ũrĩa wandũmire, atĩ ndigaate o na ũmwe wa arĩa othe aaheete, no ngaamariũkia mũthenya wa kũrigĩrĩria.
And this is the Father's will who hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me, I should lose nothing, but should raise it up 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 )
And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one who seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. (aiōnios )
41 Ayahudi maigua ũguo makĩambĩrĩria kũngʼongʼora nĩ ũndũ wake tondũ nĩoigĩte atĩrĩ, “Niĩ nĩ niĩ mũgate ũrĩa waikũrũkire kuuma igũrũ.”
The Jews then murmured at him, 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’?”
And they said, Is not this Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?
43 Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Tigai kũngʼongʼora gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu.
Jesus therefore answered and said to them, Murmur not among yourselves.
44 Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩũka kũrĩ niĩ ataguucĩrĩirio nĩ Baba ũrĩa wandũmire, na niĩ nĩngamũriũkia mũthenya wa kũrigĩrĩria.
No man can come to me, except the Father who hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up 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, And they shall be all taught from God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned from the Father, cometh to me.
46 Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũrĩ ona Baba, tiga o ũrĩa uumĩte kũrĩ Ngai; we wiki nowe wonete Baba.
Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he who is from God, he hath seen the Father.
47 Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, mũndũ ũrĩa wĩtĩkĩtie arĩ na muoyo wa tene na tene. (aiōnios )
Verily, verily, I say to you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. (aiōnios )
48 Niĩ nĩ niĩ mũgate wa muoyo.
I am that bread of life.
49 Maithe manyu ma tene maarĩĩaga mana marĩ werũ-inĩ, na no maakuire.
Your fathers ate manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
50 No ũyũ nĩguo mũgate ũrĩa ũikũrũkĩte kuuma igũrũ, ũrĩa mũndũ angĩrĩa na ndakue.
This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man 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 )
I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man shall eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. (aiōn )
52 Hĩndĩ ĩyo nao Ayahudi makĩambĩrĩria gũkararania mũno o ene, makoorania atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũyũ angĩhota atĩa gũtũhe mwĩrĩ wake tũrĩe?”
The Jews therefore contended 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 said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye 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 )
Whoever eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. (aiōnios )
55 Nĩgũkorwo mwĩrĩ wakwa nĩ irio kũna, nayo thakame yakwa nĩ kĩndũ gĩa kũnyua kũna.
For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
56 Ũrĩa wothe ũrĩĩaga mwĩrĩ wakwa na akanyua thakame yakwa aikaraga thĩinĩ wakwa na niĩ ngaikara thĩinĩ wake.
He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I 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 living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he 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 )
This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers ate manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever. (aiōn )
59 Maũndũ macio aamaaririe rĩrĩa aarutanaga thunagogi-inĩ kũu Kaperinaumu.
These things he said in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
60 Arutwo ake aingĩ maigua ũguo makiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ nĩ ũrutani mũritũ mũno, nũũ ũngĩhota kũwĩtĩkĩra?”
Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard [this], said, This is a hard saying; who can hear it?
61 Jesũ amenya atĩ arutwo ake nĩmangʼongʼoraga nĩ ũndũ wa ũhoro ũcio akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ ũhoro ũcio wamũrakaria?
When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said to them, Doth this offend you?
62 Ĩ mũngĩkĩona Mũrũ wa Mũndũ akĩambata igũrũ kũrĩa aarĩ mbere!
[What] if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
63 Roho aheanaga muoyo; mwĩrĩ ndũrĩ kĩene. Ciugo iria ndamwarĩria nĩ roho na nĩcio muoyo.
It is the spirit that reviveth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak to you, [they] are spirit, and [they] are 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 that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, 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.”
And he said, Therefore I said to you, that no man can come to me, except it were given to him by my Father.
66 Kuuma hĩndĩ ĩyo, arutwo ake aingĩ makĩhũndũka, na matiacookire kũmũrũmĩrĩra.
From that [time] many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
67 Jesũ akĩũria arĩa ikũmi na eerĩ atĩrĩ, “O na inyuĩ kaĩ mũrenda gũthiĩ?”
Then said Jesus to the twelve, Will ye 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 )
Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. (aiōnios )
69 Nĩtwĩtĩkĩtie na tũkamenya atĩ wee nĩwe ũrĩa Mũtheru wa Ngai.”
And we believe, and are sure that thou art that 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 them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?
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 spoke of Judas Iscariot [the son] of Simon: for it was he that was to betray him, being one of the twelve.
