Jọn 6
1 Mgbe nke a gasịrị, Jisọs gafere nʼofe nke ọzọ nke osimiri Galili (nke a na-akpọkwa osimiri Tiberịas).
After these things Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, which is [the sea] of Tiberias.
2 Oke igwe mmadụ sooro ya, nʼihi na ha hụrụ ọrụ ebube ọ na-arụ nʼahụ ndị ọrịa.
And a great multitude followed him, because they beheld the signs which he did on them that were sick.
3 Jisọs rigooro nʼelu ugwu nọdụ ala ya na ndị na-eso ụzọ ya.
And Jesus went up into the mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.
4 Nʼoge a, mmemme oriri Ngabiga ndị Juu na-abịa nso.
Now the passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand.
5 Mgbe Jisọs leliri anya elu hụ oke igwe mmadụ na-abịakwute ya, ọ sịrị Filip, “Olee ebe anyị ga-azụta achịcha ndị a ga-ata?”
Jesus therefore lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a great multitude cometh unto him, saith unto Philip, Whence are we to buy bread, that these may eat?
6 Ọ jụrụ nke a naanị iji nwalee ya, ya onwe ya mararị ihe ọ ga-eme.
And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.
7 Filip zara ya, “Ụgwọ ọrụ ọnwa isii agaghị ezu ịzụta achịcha nke onye ọbụla nʼime ha ga-atatụ naanị ihe ntakịrị.”
Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one may take a little.
8 Onye ọzọ nʼime ndị na-eso ụzọ ya bụ Andru, nwanne Saimọn Pita, kwupụtara,
One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, saith unto him,
9 “Otu nwantakịrị nwoke nọ nʼebe a nwere ogbe achịcha balị ise, na azụ abụọ, ma gịnị ka ha bụ nʼetiti igwe mmadụ ha otu a?”
There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two fishes: but what are these among so many?
10 Jisọs sịrị, “Meenụ ka ndị mmadụ ndị a nọdụ ala.” E nwere ọtụtụ ahịhịa nʼebe ahụ, ụmụ nwoke nọdụrụ ala, ha dị ihe ruru puku mmadụ ise.
Jesus said, Make the people sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
11 Ya mere, Jisọs weere achịcha ahụ nye ekele, kee ha ndị niile nọdụrụ ala dị ka ha sịrị chọọ. O jikwa azụ ahụ mee otu ihe ahụ.
Jesus therefore took the loaves; and having given thanks, he distributed to them that were set down; likewise also of the fishes as much as they would.
12 Mgbe ha niile rijuchara afọ, ọ sịrị ndị na-eso ụzọ ya, “Tụtụkọtanụ iberibe niile fọdụrụ, ka ihe ọbụla hapụ ịla nʼiyi.”
And when they were filled, he saith unto his disciples, Gather up the broken pieces which remain over, that nothing be lost.
13 Ya mere, ha tụtụkọtara ha, kpojuo nkata iri na abụọ, bụ iberibe si nʼogbe achịcha balị ise nke ndị ahụ rifọrọ.
So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves, which remained over unto them that had eaten.
14 Mgbe ndị mmadụ ahụ hụrụ ihe ịrịbama ahụ, o mere ha bidoro na-asị, “Nʼeziokwu, onye a bụ onye amụma ahụ nke ga-abịa nʼime ụwa.”
When therefore the people saw the sign which he did, they said, This is of a truth the prophet that cometh into the world.
15 Mgbe Jisọs matara na ha chọrọ ịbịa dọkpụrụ ya nʼike chie ya eze, ọ hapụrụ ha ga nʼugwu naanị ya, nʼonwe ya.
Jesus therefore perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force, to make him king, withdrew again into the mountain himself alone.
16 Mgbe o ruru nʼuhuruchi, ndị na-eso ụzọ ya rịdara gaa nʼọnụ mmiri,
And when evening came, his disciples went down unto the sea;
17 ebe ha banyere nʼotu ụgbọ mmiri, malite ịgabiga osimiri gawa nʼofe Kapanọm. Nʼoge a ọchịchịrị agbaala ma Jisọs alọghachikwutebeghị ha.
and they entered into a boat, and were going over the sea unto Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.
18 Ebili mmiri maliri elu nʼihi nʼoke ifufe bidoro na-efe.
And the sea was rising by reason of a great wind that blew.
19 Ha akwọọla ụgbọ ihe dịka kilomita ise maọbụ isii, mgbe ha hụrụ Jisọs ka ọ na-aga ije nʼelu mmiri ahụ na-abịa nso nʼụgbọ mmiri ha. Oke egwu tụkwara ha.
When therefore they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they behold Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the boat: and they were afraid.
20 Ma ọ sịrị ha, “Unu atụla egwu. Ọ bụ m.”
But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.
21 Mgbe ahụ, ha nabatara ya nʼime ụgbọ ahụ, ọ dịkwaghị anya ụgbọ ha bịaruru nʼelu ala ebe ha na-aga.
They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat: and straightway the boat was at the land whither they were going.
22 Nʼechi ya, igwe mmadụ ahụ nọdụrụ nʼofe ọzọ nke ọnụ mmiri ahụ chọpụtara na ọ bụ naanị otu ụgbọ mmiri nta bịara nʼebe ahụ, na Jisọs esoghị ndị na-eso ụzọ ya banye nʼime ya, kama na ọ bụ naanị ndị na-eso ụzọ ya ka ụgbọ mmiri ahụ buuru pụọ.
On the morrow the multitude which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save one, and that Jesus entered not with his disciples into the boat, but [that] his disciples went away alone
23 Mgbe ahụ ụfọdụ ụgbọ mmiri si Tiberịas bịara kwụsị nso nso ebe ahụ ndị mmadụ nọ rie achịcha mgbe Onyenwe anyị nyechara ekele maka ya.
(howbeit there came boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks):
24 Ma mgbe igwe mmadụ ahụ ghọtara na Jisọs na ndị na-eso ụzọ ya anọghị nʼebe ahụ, ha banyere nʼụgbọ mmiri nta ndị ahụ kwọfee gawa Kapanọm ịchọ Jisọs.
when the multitude therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they themselves got into the boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.
25 Mgbe ha hụrụ ya nʼofe ọzọ nke osimiri ahụ, ha sịrị ya, “Onye ozizi, olee mgbe i jiri bịa nʼebe a?”
And when they found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
26 Jisọs sịrị ha, “Nʼezie, nʼezie agwa m unu, ihe unu ji na-achọ m abụghị nʼihi na unu hụrụ ihe ịrịbama m mere, kama na unu riri achịcha rijuokwa afọ.
Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw signs, but because ye ate of the loaves, and were filled.
27 Unu adọgbula onwe unu maka nri nke na-emebi emebi, kama maka nri nke na-adịgide ruo ndụ ebighị ebi, bụ nke Nwa nke Mmadụ ga-enye unu. Nʼihi na Chineke Nna akakwasịla ya akara nkwado ya.” (aiōnios g166)
Work not for the meat which perisheth, but for the meat which abideth unto eternal life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him the Father, [even] God, hath sealed. (aiōnios g166)
28 Mgbe ahụ, ha sịrị, “Gịnị ka anyị ga-eme iji rụọ ọrụ Chineke?”
They said therefore unto him, What must we do, that we may work the works of God?
29 Jisọs zara sị ha, “Ọrụ Chineke bụ nke a, ikwere nʼonye ahụ o zitere.”
Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
30 Ya mere ha sịrị ya, “Olee ihe ịrịbama ị ga-egosi anyị nke anyị ga-ahụ ma kwere na gị? Kedụ ọrụ ị ga-arụ?
They said therefore unto him, What then doest thou for a sign, that we may see, and believe thee? what workest thou?
31 Nna nna anyị ha riri mánà nʼọzara; dị ka e dere ya nʼakwụkwọ nsọ sị, ‘O sitere nʼeluigwe nye ha achịcha ka ha rie.’”
Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.
32 Jisọs sịrị ha, “Nʼezie, nʼezie agwa m unu, ọ bụghị Mosis nyere unu achịcha ahụ site nʼeluigwe, kama ọ bụ Nna m na-enye unu ezi achịcha ahụ site nʼeluigwe.
Jesus therefore said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, It was not Moses that gave you the bread out of heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread out of heaven.
33 Nʼihi na achịcha Chineke bụ nke ahụ si nʼeluigwe rịdata, na-enyekwa ụwa ndụ.”
For the bread of God is that which cometh down out of heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
34 Ha sịrị ya, “Nna anyị ukwu, nye anyị ụdị achịcha a site ugbu a gawa.”
They said therefore unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
35 Jisọs sịrị ha, “Abụ m achịcha ahụ na-enye ndụ. Onye ọbụla na-abịakwute m, agụụ agaghị agụ ya. Onye ọbụla kwa kweere na m, akpịrị agaghị akpọ ya nkụ.
Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall not hunger, and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
36 Ma agwa m unu, unu ahụla m ma unu ekweghịkwa.
But I said unto you, that ye have seen me, and yet believe not.
37 Onye ọbụla Nna ahụ nyere m ga-abịakwute m, onye ọbụla na-abịakwute m, agaghị m achụpụ ya.
All that which the Father giveth me shall come unto me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
38 Nʼihi na esi m nʼeluigwe rịdata nʼụwa ime uche onye ahụ zitere m, ọ bụghị ime uche nke m.
For I am come down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
39 Nke a bụkwa uche onye ahụ zitere m, na o nweghị onye ọbụla o nyere m ga-efunarị m, kama m ga-eme ka ha site nʼọnwụ bilie nʼụbọchị ikpeazụ.
And this is the will of him that sent me, that of all that which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day.
40 Nke a bụ uche nke Nna m, na onye ọbụla lere Ọkpara ahụ anya, kwerekwa na ya ga-enweta ndụ ebighị ebi, m ga-emekwa ka o bilie nʼụbọchị ikpeazụ.” (aiōnios g166)
For this is the will of my Father, that every one that beholdeth the Son, and believeth on him, should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. (aiōnios g166)
41 Nʼihi nke a, ndị Juu bidoro itamu ntamu megide ya nʼihi na ọ sịrị, “Abụ m achịcha ahụ siri nʼeluigwe rịdata.”
The Jews therefore murmured concerning him, because he said, I am the bread which came down out of heaven.
42 Ha sịrị, “Onye a ọ bụghị Jisọs, nwa Josef, bụ onye anyị matara nne na nna ya? Oleekwanụ otu o si ekwu ugbu a sị, ‘Esi m nʼeluigwe rịdata’?”
And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how doth he now say, I am come down out of heaven?
43 Jisọs zara sị ha, “Unu atamula nʼetiti onwe unu.
Jesus answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.
44 O nweghị onye nwere ike ịbịakwute m ma ọ bụghị na Nna ahụ zitere m kpọtara ya, aga m akpọlitekwa ya nʼụbọchị ikpeazụ.
No man can come to me, except the Father which sent me draw him: and I will raise him up in the last day.
45 E dere ya nʼakwụkwọ ndị amụma, ‘Ha niile ga-abụ ndị Chineke ga-akụziri ihe.’Onye ọbụla nke gere Nna ahụ ntị ma mụtakwa ihe site na ya na-abịakwute m.
It is written in the prophets, And they shall all be taught of God. Every one that hath heard from the Father, and hath learned, cometh unto me.
46 O nweghị onye ọbụla hụrụla Nna ahụ karịakwa onye ahụ sitere na Chineke, naanị ya hụrụla Nna ahụ.
Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is from God, he hath seen the Father.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth hath eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
48 Abụ m achịcha nke ndụ.
I am the bread of life.
49 Nna nna unu ha riri mánà ahụ nʼime ọzara ma mecha nwụọ.
Your fathers did eat the manna in the wilderness, and they died.
50 Ma nke a bụ achịcha ahụ nke si nʼeluigwe bịa, nke mmadụ pụrụ iri ma ghara ịnwụ anwụ.
This is the bread which cometh down out of heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
51 Abụ m achịcha dị ndụ nke siri nʼeluigwe bịa. Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla erie achịcha a, ọ ga-adị ndụ ruo ebighị ebi. Nri a bụ anụ ahụ m, nke m ga-enye maka ndụ nke ụwa.” (aiōn g165)
I am the living bread which came down out of heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: yea and the bread which I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world. (aiōn g165)
52 Mgbe ahụ, ndị Juu bidoro na-arụrịta ụka ike nʼetiti onwe ha sị, “Olee otu nwoke a ga-esi nye anyị anụ ahụ ya ka anyị rie?”
The Jews therefore strove one with another, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
53 Jisọs sịrị ha, “Nʼezie, nʼezie agwa m unu, naanị ma unu riri anụ ahụ Nwa nke Mmadụ ma ṅụọkwa ọbara ya, unu agaghị enwe ndụ nʼime onwe unu.
Jesus therefore said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, ye have not life in yourselves.
54 Onye ọbụla riri anụ ahụ m, ṅụọkwa ọbara m nwere ndụ ebighị ebi. A ga m akpọlitekwa ya nʼụbọchị ikpeazụ ahụ. (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 Nʼihi na anụ ahụ m bụ ezigbo nri, ọbara m bụkwa ezigbo ihe ọṅụṅụ.
For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
56 Onye ọbụla na-eri anụ ahụ m na-aṅụkwa ọbara m na-anọgide nʼime m mụ onwe m kwa nʼime ya.
He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood abideth in me, and I in him.
57 Dị ka Nna ahụ dị ndụ zitere m, ana m adịkwa ndụ nʼihi Nna ahụ, otu a ka onye na-eri m ga-adịkwa ndụ site na m.
As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father; so he that eateth me, he also shall live because of me.
58 Nke a bụ achịcha ahụ si nʼeluigwe bịa. Nna nna unu ha riri mánà ma nwụkwaa, ma onye ọbụla na-eri achịcha a ga-adị ndụ ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.” (aiōn g165)
This is the bread which came down out of heaven: not as the fathers did eat, and died: he that eateth this bread shall live for ever. (aiōn g165)
59 O kwuru ihe ndị a mgbe ọ na-akụzi ihe nʼụlọ ekpere dị na Kapanọm.
These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
60 Mgbe ọtụtụ nʼime ndị na-eso ụzọ ya ha nụrụ nke a, ha sịrị, “Nke a bụ ozizi siri ike, onye nwere ike ịnabata ya?”
Many therefore of his disciples, when they heard [this], said, This is a hard saying; who can hear it?
61 Ebe Jisọs matara na ndị na-eso ụzọ ya na-atamu ntamu maka nke a ọ sịrị ha, “Nke a ọ na-ewute unu?
But Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said unto them, Doth this cause you to stumble?
62 Gịnị ka unu ga-ekwu ma ọ bụrụ na unu ahụ Nwa nke Mmadụ ka ọ na-arịgo ebe ọ nọrịị na mbụ.
[What] then if ye should behold the Son of man ascending where he was before?
63 Ọ bụ Mmụọ ahụ na-enye ndụ; anụ ahụ abaghị uru ọbụla, okwu ndị m gwara unu bụ mmụọ bụrụkwa ndụ.
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I have spoken unto you are spirit, and are life.
64 Ma nʼetiti unu, ọ dị ụfọdụ na-ekwenyeghị.” Nʼihi na Jisọs maara site na mmalite ndị ahụ nʼime ha na-ekwenyeghị, matakwa onye ahụ nke ga-arara ya nye.
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 should betray him.
65 Ọ sịrị, “Ọ bụ nke a mere m jiri gwa unu na o nweghị onye ọbụla nwere ike ịbịakwute m ma ọ bụrụ na Nna m enyeghị ya ike.”
And he said, For this cause have I said unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it be given unto him of the Father.
66 Nʼihi nke a, ọtụtụ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya laghachiri azụ, kwụsị iso ya.
Upon this many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
67 Jisọs sịrị mmadụ iri na abụọ ahụ, “Unu chọkwara iso ha pụọ?”
Jesus said therefore unto the twelve, Would ye also go away?
68 Saimọn Pita zara ya sị, “Onyenwe anyị, onye ka anyị ga-agakwuru? Ọ bụ gị ji okwu nke ndụ ebighị ebi. (aiōnios g166)
Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
69 Anyị kweere marakwa na ị bụ Onye Nsọ nke Chineke.”
And we have believed and know that thou art the Holy One of God.
70 Jisọs zara ha, “Ọ bụghị m họpụtara unu mmadụ iri na abụọ? Ma otu onye nʼime unu bụ ekwensu!”
Jesus answered them, Did not I choose you the twelve, and one of you is a devil?
71 Ọ na-ekwu banyere Judas nwa Saimọn Iskarịọt, onye nʼagbanyeghị na ọ bụ otu nʼime mmadụ iri na abụọ ahụ, bụ onye ga-arara ya nye.
Now he spake of Judas [the son] of Simon Iscariot, for he it was that should betray him, [being] one of the twelve.
