Yokaana 6
1 Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo, Yesu n’asomoka ennyanja ey’e Ggaliraaya, era eyitibwa ey’e Tiberiya.
Afterward, Jesus crossed the sea of Galilee, also called of Tiberias;
2 Ekibiina ky’abantu kinene ne bamugoberera, kubanga baalaba ebyamagero bye yakola ng’awonya abalwadde.
and a great multitude followed him, because they had seen the miraculous cures which he had performed.
3 Awo Yesu n’alinnya ku lusozi n’atuula wansi n’abayigirizwa be.
And Jesus went up on a mountain; where he sat down with his disciples.
4 Embaga y’Abayudaaya eyitibwa Okuyitako yali eri kumpi okutuuka.
Now the passover, the Jewish festival, was near.
5 Yesu bwe yayimusa amaaso n’alaba ekibiina ky’abantu ekinene, nga bajja gy’ali, n’agamba Firipo nti, “Tunaagula wa emmere okuliisa abantu abo bonna?”
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 Yayogera atyo kugezesa Firipo, kubanga Yesu yali amanyi ky’agenda okukola.
(This he said to try him; for he knew himself, what he was to do.)
7 Firipo n’amuddamu nti, “Emmere egula eddinaali ebikumi ebibiri teesobole na kubabuna, buli omu okulyako akatono.”
Philip answered, Two hundred denarii would not purchase bread enough to afford every one a morsel.
8 Awo omu ku bayigirizwa be, Andereya muganda wa Simooni Peetero, n’amugamba nti,
One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him,
9 “Wano waliwo omulenzi alina emigaati etaano egya sayiri, n’ebyennyanja bibiri. Naye bino binaagasa ki abantu abangi bwe bati?”
Here is a boy who has five barley loaves, and two small fishes; but what are they among so many?
10 Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Mutuuze abantu.” Waaliwo omuddo mungi mu kifo ekyo. Awo abantu ne batuula, ne baba abasajja ng’enkumi ttaano.
Jesus said, Make the men recline. Now, there was much grass in the place. So they reclined; in number about five thousand.
11 Awo Yesu n’atoola emigaati ne yeebaza Katonda, n’agabula abantu abatudde. N’ebyennyanja n’akola bw’atyo. Bonna ne balya ne bakkuta.
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 Oluvannyuma Yesu n’agamba abayigirizwa be nti, “Kale mukuŋŋaanye obutundutundu obusigaddewo tuleme kufiirwa.”
When they had eat sufficiently, he said to his disciples, Gather up the fragments which remain, that nothing be lost.
13 Ne babukuŋŋaanya, ne bajjuza ebisero kkumi na bibiri eby’obutundutundu obwava mu migaati etaano egya sayiri, obwasigalawo nga bamaze okulya.
They, therefore, gathered, and with the fragments which the people had left of the five barley loaves, they filled twelve baskets.
14 Abantu bwe baalaba ekyamagero Yesu kye yakola ne bagamba nti, “Ddala ono ye Nnabbi oli alindirirwa okujja mu nsi!”
When those men had seen the miracle which Jesus had wrought they said, This is certainly the prophet who comes into the world.
15 Yesu bwe yategeera nti bategeka okumukwata bamufuule kabaka waabwe n’addayo yekka ku lusozi.
Then Jesus, knowing that they intended to come and carry him off, to make him king, withdrew again, alone, to the mountain.
16 Obudde bwe bwawungeera abayigirizwa ba Yesu ne baserengeta ku nnyanja
In the evening, his disciples went to the sea,
17 ne basaabala mu lyato ne boolekera Kaperunawumu. N’obudde bwali buzibye nga ne Yesu tannaba kutuuka gye bali.
and having embarked, were passing by sea to Capernaum. It was now dark; and Jesus had not come to them.
18 Awo omuyaga ne gukunta mungi, ennyanja n’esiikuuka.
And the water was raised by a tempestuous wind.
19 Bwe baavugako kilomita nga ttaano oba mukaaga, ne balaba Yesu ng’atambulira ku mazzi, ng’asemberera eryato, ne batya.
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 Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Ye Nze, temutya!”
But he said to them, It is I, be not afraid.
21 Ne baagala okumuyingiza mu lyato, amangwago eryato ne ligoba ku ttale gye baali bagenda.
Then they gladly received him into the bark; and the bark was immediately at the place whither they were going.
22 Ku lunaku olwaddirira, ekibiina ky’abantu abaasigala emitala w’eri, ne balabawo eryato limu lyokka, ne bamanya ng’abayigirizwa be baawunguka bokka mu lyato.
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 Kyokka amaato ne gava e Tiberiya ne gagoba awo kumpi n’ekifo abantu we baaliira emigaati Yesu gye yabawa ng’amaze okwebaza.
(other boats, however, arrived from Tiberias, nigh the place where they had eat, after the Lord had given thanks; )
24 Awo abantu bwe baalaba nga Yesu taliiwo wadde abayigirizwa be, ne bakwata amaato ne bawunguka ne batuuka e Kaperunawumu nga banoonya Yesu.
knowing, besides, that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, embarked, and went to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.
25 Bwe baamulaba emitala w’ennyanja ne bamubuuza nti, “Labbi, watuuse ddi wano?”
Having found him on the opposite shore, they said to him, Rabbi, when did you come hither?
26 Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Ddala ddala mbagamba nti munnoonya si lwa kubanga mwalaba obubonero, naye lwa kubanga mwalya emigaati ne mukkuta.
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 Temukolerera mmere eggwaawo, wabula munoonye emmere ebeerera era etuusa mu bulamu obutaggwaawo, Omwana w’Omuntu gy’alibawa, kubanga Kitaawe w’Omwana amussizaako akabonero.” (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 Awo ne bamubuuza nti, “Tukole ki okutuukiriza ekyo Katonda ky’ayagala?”
They asked him, therefore, What are the works which God requires us to do?
29 Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Katonda ky’ayagala mukole kwe kukkiriza oyo gwe yatuma.”
Jesus answered, This is the work which God requires--that you believe on him whom he has sent forth.
30 Ne bamugamba nti, “Kale kabonero ki ggwe k’okola, tulabe tukukkirize? Onookola kabonero ki?
They replied, What miracles, then, do you, that seeing it, we may believe you? What do you perform?
31 Bajjajjaffe baalya emmaanu mu ddungu nga bwe kyawandiikibwa nti, ‘Yabawa emmere okuva mu ggulu balye.’”
Our fathers eat the manna in the desert; as it is written, "He gave them bread of heaven to eat."
32 Awo Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Ddala ddala mbagamba nti Musa si ye yabawa emmere eva mu ggulu, wabula Kitange ye yabawa emmere ey’amazima eva mu ggulu.
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 Emmere ya Katonda ye eva mu ggulu, era ye awa ensi obulamu.”
for the bread of God is that which descends from heaven, and gives life to the world.
34 Ne bamugamba nti, “Mukama waffe, tuwenga emmere eyo buli lunaku.”
They said, therefore, to him, Master, give us always this bread.
35 Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Nze mmere ey’obulamu. Ajja gye ndi enjala teriddayo kumuluma, era abo abanzikiriza tebaliddayo kulumwa nnyonta.
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 Naye nabagamba nti mundabye naye era ne mutanzikiriza.
But, as I told you, though you have seen me, you do not believe.
37 Buli muntu Kitange gw’ampa alijja gye ndi, era buli ajja gye ndi sirimugobera bweru.
All the Father gives me, will come to me; and him who comes to me, I will not reject.
38 Kubanga ekyanzigya mu ggulu kwe kukola ekyo Katonda eyantuma ky’ayagala, so si Nze bye njagala ku bwange.
For I descended from heaven to do, not my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
39 Eyantuma ky’ayagala kye kino: Ku abo be yampa nneme kubulwako n’omu wabula bonna mbazuukize ku lunaku olw’enkomerero.
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 Kubanga Kitange ky’ayagala kye kino nti buli alaba Omwana we n’amukkiriza afuna obulamu obutaggwaawo ku lunaku olw’enkomerero.” (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 Awo Abayudaaya ne batandika okwemulugunyiza Yesu, kubanga yabagamba nti, “Nze mmere eyava mu ggulu.”
The Jews then murmured against him, because he said, I am the bread which descended from heaven:
42 Ne bagamba nti, “Ono si ye Yesu omwana wa Yusufu? Kitaawe ne nnyina tubamanyi. Kale ayinza atya okugamba nti, ‘Nava mu ggulu?’”
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 Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Temwemulugunya.
Jesus answered, Murmur not amongst yourselves:
44 Tewali ayinza kujja gye ndi wabula nga Kitange eyantuma amuyise, era Nze ndimuzuukiza ku lunaku olw’enkomerero.
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 Kubanga kyawandiikibwa mu bannabbi nti, ‘Bonna baliyigirizibwa Katonda.’ Era buli gw’ayigiriza n’ategeera amazima ajja gye ndi.
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 Si kuba nti waliwo eyali alabye ku Kitange, wabula oyo eyava eri Katonda, ye yalaba Kitaawe.
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 Nze mmere ey’obulamu.
I am the bread of life.
49 Bajjajjammwe baalya emaanu mu ddungu ne bafa.
Your fathers eat the manna in the desert, and died.
50 Eno y’emmere eyava mu ggulu, buli agiryako aleme okufa.
Behold the bread which descended from heaven, that whosoever eats of it may not die.
51 Nze mmere ennamu eyava mu ggulu omuntu bw’alya ku mmere eno aliba mulamu emirembe n’emirembe. Emmere gye ndigaba okuleetera ensi obulamu, gwe mubiri gwange.” (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 Awo Abayudaaya ne batandika okuwakana bokka na bokka nga bagamba nti, “Ono ayinza atya okutuwa omubiri gwe okugulya?”
The Jews then debated among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
53 Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Ddala ddala mbagamba nti bwe mutalya mubiri gwa Mwana wa Muntu, ne munywa n’omusaayi gwe, temuyinza kuba na bulamu mu mmwe.
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 Buli alya omubiri gwange n’anywa n’omusaayi gwange, ng’afunye obulamu obutaggwaawo era ndimuzuukiza ku lunaku olw’enkomerero. (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 Kubanga omubiri gwange kye kyokulya ddala n’omusaayi gwange kye kyokunywa ddala.
for my flesh is truly meat, and my blood is truly drink.
56 Oyo alya ku mubiri gwange era n’anywa omusaayi gwange abeera mu nze, era nange mbeera mu ye.
He who eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, abides in me, and I abide in him.
57 Nga Kitange eyantuma bw’ali omulamu, nange bwe ndi omulamu ku bwa Kitange, noolwekyo oyo alya ku nze naye aliba mulamu ku bwange.
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 Eno ye mmere eva mu ggulu. Teri ng’eyo bajjajjammwe gye baalya ne bafa. Alya emmere eno anaabanga mulamu emirembe n’emirembe.” (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 Ebyo Yesu yabyogera ng’ayigiriza mu kkuŋŋaaniro e Kaperunawumu.
This discourse he spoke in the synagogue, teaching in Capernaum.
60 Abayigirizwa ba Yesu bangi bwe baabiwulira ne bagamba nti, “Ekigambo ekyo kizibu okutegeera. Ani asobola okutunnyonnyola ky’agamba?”
Many of his disciples having heard it, said, This is hard doctrine; who can understand it?
61 Awo Yesu bwe yategeera nga n’abayigirizwa be bakyemulugunyako, n’abagamba nti, “Ekyo kibeesittaza?
Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at it, said to them, Does this offend you?
62 Kale mulirowooza ki bwe muliraba Omwana w’Omuntu ng’addayo gye yava?
What if you should see the Son of Man reascending thither, where he was before?
63 Mwoyo Mutukuvu y’awa obulamu. Omubiri teguliiko kye gugasa. Ebigambo bye njogedde gye muli gwe mwoyo era bwe bulamu.
It is the Spirit that quickens; the flesh profits nothing. The words which I speak to you, are spirit and life.
64 Naye era abamu ku mmwe temukkiriza.” Kubanga okuva ku lubereberye Yesu yategeera abatamukkiriza era n’oyo agenda okumulyamu olukwe.
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 Awo n’agamba nti, “Kyennava ŋŋamba nti tewali ayinza kujja gye ndi bw’atakiweebwa Kitange.”
He added, Therefore, I said to you, that no man can come to me, unless it be given him by my Father.
66 Okuva olwo bangi ku bayigirizwa be ne bamuvaako ne bataddayo kuyita naye.
From this time, many of his disciples withdrew, and accompanied him no longer.
67 Awo Yesu n’akyukira abayigirizwa be ekkumi n’ababiri n’ababuuza nti, “Nammwe mwagala kugenda?”
Then said Jesus to the twelve, Will you also go away?
68 Simooni Peetero n’amuddamu nti, “Mukama waffe, tunaagenda eri ani? Ggwe wekka gw’olina ebigambo by’obulamu obutaggwaawo. (aiōnios g166)
Simon Peter answered, Master, to whom should we go? You have the words of eternal life: (aiōnios g166)
69 Ffe tubikkiriza era tumanyi nti oli Mutukuvu wa Katonda.”
and we believe, and know that you are the Holy One of God.
70 Awo Yesu kwe kubagamba nti, “Mmwe ekkumi n’ababiri si nze nabalonda? Naye omu ku mmwe Setaani!”
Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve? yet one of you is a spy.
71 Yesu yayogera ku Yuda, mutabani wa Simooni Isukalyoti, kubanga ye yali agenda okumulyamu olukwe.
He meant Judas Iscariot, son of Simon; for it was he who was to betray him, though he was one of the twelve.
