Yoane 6
1 Sima na yango, Yesu akendeki na ngambo mosusu ya ebale ya Galile oyo babengaka mpe ebale ya Tiberiade.
After this Jesus went away across the Sea of Galilee (that is the lake of Tiberias).
2 Bato ebele bazalaki kolanda Ye mpo ete bazalaki komona bikamwa oyo azalaki kosala na banzoto ya babeli.
A great crowd were following him, because they witnessed the signs which he was continually performing among those who were ill.
3 Yango wana Yesu amataki na ngomba mpe avandaki kuna elongo na bayekoli na Ye.
Then Jesus walked up the hills and sat down there with his disciples. Now the Jewish feast, the Passover, was at hand.
4 Nzokande Pasika, feti ya Bayuda, ekomaki pene.
Accordingly when he looked up, and perceived a great crowd was coming unto him,
5 Tango Yesu atombolaki miso, amonaki ebele ya bato penza koya epai na Ye; alobaki na Filipo: — Tokosomba mapa wapi mpo na koleisa bato oyo nyonso?
he said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?"
6 Yesu atunaki Filipo motuna oyo mpo na komeka ye mpe kotala soki akoloba nini, pamba te Ye, Yesu, ayebaki makambo oyo alingaki kosala.
He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he intended to do.
7 Filipo azongiselaki Yesu: — Mapa oyo tokoki kosomba na mbongo ya bibende nkama mibale ekokoka te mpo ete moto moko na moko kati na bango azwa eteni ya lipa!
"Thirty-five dollars worth of bread," answered Philip, "is not enough for them, so that each can take a morsel."
8 Moko kati na bayekoli na Ye, oyo kombo na ye ezali Andre, ndeko mobali ya Simona Petelo, alobaki na Ye:
One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon, said to him.
9 — Ezali awa na elenge mobali moko oyo azali na mapa mitano basala na bambuma ya orje, mpe bambisi mibale; kasi yango ekosala nini mpo na ebele ya bato oyo?
"There is a lad who has five barley loaves and a couple of fish; but what is that among so many?"
10 Yesu apesaki bango mitindo: — Boloba na bato nyonso ete bavanda. Boye, lokola ezalaki na matiti ebele na esika yango, bavandaki. Ezalaki wana na mibali pene nkoto mitano.
"Make the men sit down," said Jesus. The ground was covered with thick grass; so the men sat down, in numbers about five thousand. "of righteousness, because I am going to my Father, and you will no longer see me;
11 Bongo Yesu azwaki mapa yango, azongisaki matondi epai ya Nzambe mpe akabolaki yango epai ya bato oyo bazalaki wana; asalaki mpe bongo na bambisi: bato bazwaki kolanda ndenge posa na bango ezalaki.
Then Jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks he distributed them among those who were seated; in like manner also of the fish, as much as they wished,
12 Sima na bato kolia mpe kotonda, Yesu alobaki na bayekoli na Ye: — Bosangisa biteni oyo etikali mpo ete eteni moko te ebeba.
and when they were satisfied, he said to his disciples, "Gather up the fragments that are left, so that nothing may be wasted."
13 Basangisaki biteni yango; mpe na biteni ya mapa mitano basala na bambuma ya orje, oyo etikalaki na maboko ya bato oyo baliaki, batondisaki bitunga zomi na mibale.
So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves - the broken pieces that were left after they had eaten.
14 Tango bato bamonaki bikamwa oyo Yesu awutaki kosala, balobaki: « Azali penza Mosakoli oyo asengelaki koya na mokili. »
So when the people saw the sign which he had performed, they said, "This is in the truth the Prophet who is to come into the world."
15 Kasi, lokola Yesu ayebaki ete bazali na makanisi ya kokamata Ye mpo na kokomisa Ye mokonzi, abendanaki lisusu na ngomba mpo ete azala kaka Ye moko.
When Jesus perceived that they intended to seize him in order to make him a king, he retired again to the hill all by himself.
16 Tango pokwa ekomaki, bayekoli na Ye bakitaki na ebale
When evening came on, his disciples went down to the sea.
17 epai wapi bamataki na bwato moko, bakatisaki ebale mpo na kokende na Kapernawumi, na ngambo mosusu ya ebale. Butu ekotaki, wana Yesu amikomelaki nanu te epai bango bakomaki.
There they got in a boat, and started across the sea for Capernaum. The darkness had already fallen,
18 Ekumbaki moko ebandaki kopepa, mpe mayi ya ebale etombokaki.
Jesus had not yet come to them, and the sea began to rise, because a strong wind was blowing.
19 Awa basilaki koluka nkayi na molayi ya bakilometele pene mitano to motoba, bamonaki Yesu kotambola likolo ya mayi ya ebale mpe kopusana pene ya bwato; somo makasi ekangaki bango.
After they had rowed three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking upon the sea, and drawing near to the boat, and they were terrified;
20 Kasi Yesu alobaki na bango: « Kimia! Kimia! Bobanga te! Ezali Ngai! »
but he said to them, "It is I, be not afraid."
21 Balingaki kokotisa Yesu na bwato, kasi, mbala moko, bwato etutaki mabele ya esika oyo bazalaki kokende.
Then they were willing to take him on board, and immediately the boat reached the shore they were making for.
22 Mokolo oyo elandaki, bato oyo batikalaki na ngambo mosusu ya ebale bayaki kokanisa na sima ete ezalaki kaka na bwato moko, mpe ete Yesu akendeki bwato moko te na bayekoli na Ye; bayekoli bakendeki bango moko kaka.
The crowd that remained on the other side of the sea had seen that there was only one small boat there, and that Jesus had not gone aboard with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away by themselves.
23 Nzokande, babwato mosusu ewutaki na Tiberiade mpe ekomaki pene ya esika oyo baliaki mapa sima na Nkolo kozongisa matondi epai ya Nzambe.
So, on the following day, when boats came from Tiberias near the place were they had eaten bread, after the Lord had given thanks, they got into the boats themselves,
24 Tango bato bamonaki ete, ezala Yesu to bayekoli na Ye, moko te azalaki lisusu wana, bamataki na babwato yango mpe bakendeki koluka Yesu, na Kapernawumi.
when they saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, and went to Capernaum to look for Jesus.
25 Tango bakutaki Ye na ngambo mosusu ya ebale, batunaki Ye: — Rabi, okomaki awa tango nini?
When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, "Rabbi, when did you get here?"
26 Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: soki bozali koluka Ngai, ezali kaka mpo ete boliaki mapa mpe botondaki, kasi ezali te mpo ete bomonaki bikamwa.
Jesus answered. "In solemn truth I tell you that you are looking for me, not because you saw miracles signs, but because you ate of the bread and were filled.
27 Bosalaka te mpo na bilei oyo ebebaka, kasi bosalaka mpo na bilei oyo ewumelaka mpo na bomoi ya seko, bilei oyo Mwana na Moto akopesa bino; pamba te ezali Ye nde Nzambe Tata abeta kashe. (aiōnios g166)
"Labor not for food which perishes, but for the food that endures eternal life - that which the Son of man will give you; for on the Father - God - has set his seal." (aiōnios g166)
28 Batunaki Ye lisusu: — Tosengeli kosala nini mpo na kokokisa misala oyo Nzambe azali kozela epai na biso?
"What are we to do habitually," they asked him, "that we may keep working the words of God?"
29 Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Mosala ya Nzambe, yango oyo: bondima Ye oyo Nzambe atindaki.
"This is the work of God," answered Jesus, "that you believe on him whom He has sent you."
30 Batunaki Ye lisusu: — Elembo nini ya kokamwa okolakisa biso mpo ete tondima Yo? Okosala penza nini?
The they said to him. "What sign, then, are you performing, so that we may see it and believe in you? What work are you doing?
31 Bakoko na biso baliaki mana kati na esobe kolanda ndenge ekomama: « Apesaki bango lipa kowuta na Likolo. »
"Our fathers ate manna in the wilderness, as it is written, ‘He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.’"
32 Kasi Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: ezali Moyize te moto apesaki bino lipa oyo ezalaki kowuta na Likolo, kasi ezali Tata na Ngai nde apesaka bino lipa ya solo oyo ewutaka na Likolo.
"In solemn truth I tell you," said Jesus in reply, "Moses did not give you the bread out of heaven, but my Father does give you the true bread out of heaven;
33 Pamba te lipa ya Nzambe ezali Ye oyo akiti wuta na Likolo mpe apesaka mokili bomoi.
"for the bread of God is what come down from heaven, and gives life to the world."
34 Bongo balobaki na Ye: — Nkolo, pesaka biso lipa yango tango nyonso.
"Ah, Sir," said they, "evermore give us this bread."
35 Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Ngai nazali lipa oyo epesaka bomoi. Moto nyonso oyo akoya epai na Ngai akoyoka lisusu nzala te, mpe moto nyonso oyo akondima Ngai akoyoka lisusu posa ya mayi te.
"I myself am the bread of life," answered Jesus; "he who comes to me shall never hunger, and he that believes on me shall never thirst again.
36 Nzokande, ndenge nayebisaki bino, bozali komona Ngai, kasi bozali kondima te.
"But as I told you, you have seen me, and yet you do not believe.
37 Bato nyonso oyo Tata apesi Ngai bakoya epai na Ngai, mpe nakobengana soki moke te moto nyonso oyo akoya epai na Ngai.
"Everyone whom the Father gives me will come to me; and him who comes to me I will never reject.
38 Pamba te soki nakitaki wuta na Likolo, ezali te mpo na kosala mokano na Ngai moko, kasi mpo na kokokisa mokano ya Ye oyo atindaki Ngai.
"For I am come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
39 Nzokande, Ye oyo atindaki Ngai alingi ete nabungisa ata moto moko te kati na bato oyo apesaki Ngai, kasi nasekwisa bango na mokolo ya suka.
"And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should not lose one of all those whom he has given me, but should raise them up at the last day.
40 Pamba te mokano ya Tata na Ngai ezali ete moto nyonso oyo amoni Mwana mpe andimi Ye azwa bomoi ya seko; mpe, Ngai, nakosekwisa ye na mokolo ya suka. (aiōnios g166)
"For this is my Fathers will, that every one who beholds the Son and believes on him, shall have eternal life. and I will raise him up at the last day." (aiōnios g166)
41 Bayuda bakomaki koyimayima na tina na Ye mpo ete alobaki: « Ngai, nazali lipa oyo ekiti wuta na Likolo. »
Then the Jews began to find fault with Jesus, because he said, "I am the bread which comes down out of heaven," and they kept asking.
42 Bakomaki koloba: — Boni, wana ezali Yesu te? Ezali mwana mobali ya Jozefi te? Toyebi malamu tata mpe mama na ye! Bongo ndenge nini azali koloba: « Nawuti na Likolo? »
"Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph? Do we not know his father and mother? How is it that he now says, ‘I have come down from heaven’?"
43 Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Botika koyimayima kati na bino!
"Do not find fault with me among yourselves,"
44 Moto moko te akoki koya epai na Ngai soki Tata oyo atindaki Ngai abendi ye te; mpe Ngai, nakosekwisa ye na mokolo ya suka.
answered Jesus; "no one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draw him; then I will raise him up on the last day.
45 Tala ndenge ekomama kati na mikanda ya Basakoli: « Nzambe akoteya bango nyonso. » Boye moto nyonso oyo ayokaka Tata mpe ayambaka mateya na Ye ayaka epai na Ngai.
"It is written in the Prophets, "And they shall all of them be taught of God. Every one who has listened to the father and learns from him, comes to me.
46 Moto moko te amona Tata, longola kaka Ye oyo ayaki wuta epai ya Nzambe.
"Not that any one has seen the Father, except the one who is from God; he has seen the Father.
"I tell you solemnly that he who believes has eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
48 pamba te nazali lipa oyo epesaka bomoi.
"I am the bread of life.
49 Bakoko na bino baliaki mana kati na esobe mpe bakufaki,
"Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; yet they died.
50 kasi botala lipa oyo ewuti na Likolo; moto oyo akolia yango akokufa te.
"This is the bread that comes down from heaven, that one may eat thereof and never die.
51 Ngai nde nazali lipa ya bomoi oyo ewuti na Likolo; moto nyonso oyo akolia lipa yango, akozala na bomoi ya seko; mpe lipa oyo nakopesa mpo ete mokili ezwa bomoi ezali nde nzoto na Ngai. (aiōn g165)
"I myself am the living bread that has come down from heaven. Any one who eats this bread will live forever; and moreover, the bread which I will give is my flesh, given for the life of the world." (aiōn g165)
52 Tango Bayuda bayokaki bongo, bakomaki kotiana tembe; bazalaki koloba: — Akopesa biso nzoto na ye ndenge nini mpo ete tolia yango?
Then the Jews began to dispute among themselves, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"
53 Bongo Yesu alobaki na bango: — Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: soki bolie nzoto ya Mwana na Moto te mpe bomeli makila na Ye te, bozali na bomoi te kati na bino.
"I tell you solemnly," said Jesus, "that unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you have no life in you.
54 Moto oyo alie nzoto na Ngai mpe ameli makila na Ngai, azali na bomoi ya seko; mpe Ngai, nakosekwisa ye na mokolo ya suka. (aiōnios g166)
"He who feeds upon my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. (aiōnios g166)
55 Pamba te nzoto na Ngai ezali penza bilei, mpe makila na Ngai ezali penza lokola mayi oyo bamelaka.
"For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
56 Moto oyo alie nzoto na Ngai mpe ameli makila na Ngai azali kati na Ngai, mpe Ngai nazali kati na ye.
"He who feeds upon my flesh abides in me and I in him.
57 Ndenge Tata oyo atindaki Ngai azali etima ya bomoi mpe Ngai nazali na bomoi na nzela na Ye, ndenge wana mpe moto oyo alie nzoto na Ngai akozala na bomoi na nzela na Ngai.
"Just as the living Father has sent me, and I live by the Father, so also that man who feeds on me shall live by me.
58 Tala ndenge lipa oyo ewuti na Likolo ezali: ekokani te na mana oyo bakoko na bino baliaki, kasi bakufaki kaka; nzokande, moto oyo akolia lipa oyo Ngai nazali akozala na bomoi ya seko. (aiōn g165)
"This is the bread which came down from heaven; not such as your fathers ate and died, for he who feeds upon this bread shall live forever." (aiōn g165)
59 Wana nde ezalaki mateya ya Yesu kati na ndako ya mayangani ya Kapernawumi.
He spoke these words while in the synagogue, while he was teaching in Capernaum.
60 Sima na koyoka Ye, bayekoli mingi ya Yesu balobaki: — Mateya oyo ezali makasi mingi, nani akoki kondima yango?
So many of his disciples, when they heard it, said. "This teaching is unbelievable! Who can listen to him?"
61 Yesu asosolaki ete bayekoli na Ye bazalaki koyimayima na tina na yango; alobaki na bango: — Boni, maloba oyo ebetisi bino mabaku?
Jesus, conscious within himself that his disciples were finding fault with him about his teaching, said to them.
62 Bongo ekozala ndenge nini soki bomoni Mwana na Moto kozonga epai Ye azalaki liboso?
"Does this displease you? What then if you were to behold the Son of man ascending to where he was before?
63 Ezali Molimo nde apesaka bomoi; mosuni ezali na eloko te. Maloba oyo nalobi na bino ezali Molimo mpe bomoi.
"The spirit is what gives life; the flesh is of no avail. The words which I have been speaking to you, are spirit and are life.
64 Kasi bato mosusu kati na bino bazali kondima te. Solo, wuta na ebandeli, Yesu ayebaki banani bazalaki kondima te, mpe nani akoteka Ye.
"Yet there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who it was who should betray him.
65 Alobaki lisusu: — Yango wana nalobaki na bino: « Moto moko te akoki koya epai na Ngai soki epesameli ye te na Tata. »
So he added, "This is why I told you that no on can come to me unless it be given from the Father."
66 Banda na tango wana, bayekoli na Ye mingi bazongaki mpe batikaki kolanda Ye.
Therefore many of his disciples drew back and no longer companied with him.
67 Boye, Yesu alobaki na bantoma zomi na mibale: — Boni, bino mpe bolingi kokende?
So Jesus appealed to the Twelve. "You also do not wish to leave me, do you?"
68 Simona Petelo azongisaki: — Nkolo, tokokende epai ya nani? Yo nde ozali na maloba ya bomoi ya seko. (aiōnios g166)
Simon Peter answered. "To whom shall we go Master? You have words of eternal life; (aiōnios g166)
69 Biso, tondimi mpe toyebi ete ozali Mosantu ya Nzambe.
"and we have learned to believe and we know that you are the holy one of God."
70 Yesu alobaki na bango: — Boni, ezali Ngai te nde naponaki bino nyonso zomi na mibale? Nzokande, moko kati na bino azali Satana!
In reply Jesus said to them. "Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? And yet even of you one is an enemy."
71 Yesu azalaki nde koloba na tina na Yuda, mwana mobali ya Simona Isikarioti, oyo, kati na bantoma zomi na mibale, asengelaki koteka Ye.
Now Jesus was speaking of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot; for Judas was to betray him, although he was one of the Twelve.
