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 beyond the sea of Galilee (of Tiberias),
2 Oke igwe mmadụ sooro ya, nʼihi na ha hụrụ ọrụ ebube ọ na-arụ nʼahụ ndị ọrịa.
and there was following him a great multitude, because they were seeing his signs that he was doing on the ailing;
3 Jisọs rigooro nʼelu ugwu nọdụ ala ya na ndị na-eso ụzọ ya.
and Jesus went up to the mount, and he was there sitting with his disciples,
4 Nʼoge a, mmemme oriri Ngabiga ndị Juu na-abịa nso.
and the passover was nigh, the feast of the Jews.
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 then having lifted up [his] eyes and having seen that a great multitude doth come to him, saith unto Philip, 'Whence shall we buy loaves, 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, trying him, for he himself had known what he was about to 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 denaries' worth of loaves are not sufficient to them, that each of them may receive some little;'
8 Onye ọzọ nʼime ndị na-eso ụzọ ya bụ Andru, nwanne Saimọn Pita, kwupụtara,
one of his disciples — Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter — saith to 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 one little lad here who hath five barley loaves, and two fishes, but these — what are they to 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.
And Jesus said, 'Make the men to sit down;' and there was much grass in the place, the men then sat down, in number, as it were, 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.
and Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those reclining, in like manner, also of the little fishes as much as they wished.
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 to his disciples, 'Gather together the broken pieces that are over, that nothing may be lost;'
13 Ya mere, ha tụtụkọtara ha, kpojuo nkata iri na abụọ, bụ iberibe si nʼogbe achịcha balị ise nke ndị ahụ rifọrọ.
they gathered together, therefore, and filled twelve hand-baskets with broken pieces, from the five barley loaves that were over to those having 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.”
The men, then, having seen the sign that Jesus did, said — 'This is truly the Prophet, who is coming to 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, having known that they are about to come, and to take him by force that they may make him king, retired again to 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 to the sea,
17 ebe ha banyere nʼotu ụgbọ mmiri, malite ịgabiga osimiri gawa nʼofe Kapanọm. Nʼoge a ọchịchịrị agbaala ma Jisọs alọghachikwutebeghị ha.
and having entered into the boat, they were going over the sea to Capernaum, and darkness had already come, and Jesus had not come unto them,
18 Ebili mmiri maliri elu nʼihi nʼoke ifufe bidoro na-efe.
the sea also — a great wind blowing — was being raised,
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.
having pushed onwards, therefore, about twenty-five or thirty furlongs, they behold Jesus walking on the sea, and coming nigh to the boat, and they were afraid;
20 Ma ọ sịrị ha, “Unu atụla egwu. Ọ bụ m.”
and he saith to them, 'I am [he], 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 then to receive him into the boat, and immediately the boat came unto the land to which 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 that was standing on the other side of the sea, having seen that there was no other little boat there except one — that into which his disciples entered — and that Jesus went not in with his disciples into the little boat, but 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.
(and other little boats came from Tiberias, nigh the place where they did eat the bread, the Lord having 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 therefore the multitude saw that Jesus is not there, nor his disciples, they also themselves did enter 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 having found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, 'Rabbi, when hast thou come 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 to you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw signs, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were satisfied;
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 food that is perishing, but for the food that is remaining to life age-during, which the Son of Man will give to you, for him did the Father seal — [even] God.' (aiōnios g166)
28 Mgbe ahụ, ha sịrị, “Gịnị ka anyị ga-eme iji rụọ ọrụ Chineke?”
They said therefore unto him, 'What may 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 to them, 'This is the work of God, that ye may believe in him whom He did send.'
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 to him, 'What sign, then, dost thou, that we may see and may believe thee? what dost thou work?
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 the manna did eat in the wilderness, according as it is having been written, Bread out of the heaven He gave them 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 to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread out of the heaven; but my Father doth give you the true bread out of the heaven;
33 Nʼihi na achịcha Chineke bụ nke ahụ si nʼeluigwe rịdata, na-enyekwa ụwa ndụ.”
for the bread of God is that which is coming down out of the heaven, and giving life to the world.'
34 Ha sịrị ya, “Nna anyị ukwu, nye anyị ụdị achịcha a site ugbu a gawa.”
They said, therefore, unto him, 'Sir, always 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.
And Jesus said to them, 'I am the bread of the life; he who is coming unto me may not hunger, and he who is believing in me may not thirst — at any time;
36 Ma agwa m unu, unu ahụla m ma unu ekweghịkwa.
but I said to you, that ye also have seen me, and ye believe not;
37 Onye ọbụla Nna ahụ nyere m ga-abịakwute m, onye ọbụla na-abịakwute m, agaghị m achụpụ ya.
all that the Father doth give to me will come unto me; and him who is coming unto me, I may in no wise cast without,
38 Nʼihi na esi m nʼeluigwe rịdata nʼụwa ime uche onye ahụ zitere m, ọ bụghị ime uche nke m.
because I have come down out of the heaven, not that I may do my will, but the will of Him who 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 the Father who sent me, that all that He hath given to me I may not lose of it, but may raise it up in 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)
and this is the will of Him who sent me, that every one who is beholding the Son, and is believing in him, may have life age-during, and I will raise him up in 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, were murmuring at him, because he said, 'I am the bread that came down out of the 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 have known? how then saith this one — Out of the heaven I have come down?'
43 Jisọs zara sị ha, “Unu atamula nʼetiti onwe unu.
Jesus answered, therefore, and said to them, 'Murmur not one with another;
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 one is able to come unto me, if the Father who sent me may not 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 having been written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God; every one therefore who heard from the Father, and learned, cometh to me;
46 O nweghị onye ọbụla hụrụla Nna ahụ karịakwa onye ahụ sitere na Chineke, naanị ya hụrụla Nna ahụ.
not that any one hath seen the Father, except he who is from God, he hath seen the Father.
'Verily, verily, I say to you, He who is believing in me, hath life age-during; (aiōnios g166)
48 Abụ m achịcha nke ndụ.
I am the bread of the 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 that out of the heaven is coming down, that any one may eat of it, 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 that came down out of the heaven; if any one may eat of this bread he shall live — to the age; and the bread also that I will give is my flesh, that I will give 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, were striving with one another, saying, 'How is this one able to 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 to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, If ye may not eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and may not drink his blood, ye have no 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 who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, hath life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day; (aiōnios g166)
55 Nʼihi na anụ ahụ m bụ ezigbo nri, ọbara m bụkwa ezigbo ihe ọṅụṅụ.
for my flesh truly is food, and my blood truly is drink;
56 Onye ọbụla na-eri anụ ahụ m na-aṅụkwa ọbara m na-anọgide nʼime m mụ onwe m kwa nʼime ya.
he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, doth remain 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.
'According as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, he also who is eating me, even that one 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 that came down out of the heaven; not as your fathers did eat the manna, and died; he who is eating this bread shall live — to the age.' (aiōn g165)
59 O kwuru ihe ndị a mgbe ọ na-akụzi ihe nʼụlọ ekpere dị na Kapanọm.
These things he said in a synagogue, teaching 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 having heard, said, 'This word is hard; who is able to 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?
And Jesus having known in himself that his disciples are murmuring about this, said to them, 'Doth this stumble you?
62 Gịnị ka unu ga-ekwu ma ọ bụrụ na unu ahụ Nwa nke Mmadụ ka ọ na-arịgo ebe ọ nọrịị na mbụ.
if then ye may behold the Son of Man going up 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.
the spirit it is that is giving life; the flesh doth not profit anything; the sayings that I speak to you are spirit, and they 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 certain of you who do not believe;' for Jesus had known from the beginning who they are who are not believing, and who is he who will deliver him up,
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, 'Because of this I have said to you — No one is able to come unto me, if it may not have been given him from my Father.'
66 Nʼihi nke a, ọtụtụ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya laghachiri azụ, kwụsị iso ya.
From this [time] many of his disciples went away backward, and were no more walking with him,
67 Jisọs sịrị mmadụ iri na abụọ ahụ, “Unu chọkwara iso ha pụọ?”
Jesus, therefore, said to the twelve, 'Do ye also wish to 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, therefore, answered him, 'Sir, unto whom shall we go? thou hast sayings of life age-during; (aiōnios g166)
69 Anyị kweere marakwa na ị bụ Onye Nsọ nke Chineke.”
and we have believed, and we have known, that thou art the Christ, the Son of the living 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 of you — one 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.
And he spake of Judas, Simon's [son], Iscariot, for he was about to deliver him up, being one of the twelve.
