Hoani 6
1 Muri iho i enei mea ka whiti atu a Ihu i te moana o Kariri, ara i te moana o Taipiria.
After this, Jesus crossed the Sea of Galilee — otherwise called the Lake of Tiberias.
2 A he rahi te hui i aru i a ia, i kite hoki ratou i ana merekara i mea ai ia ki nga turoro.
A great crowd of people, however, followed him, because they saw the signs of his mission in his work among those who were afflicted.
3 Na ka haere a Ihu ki runga i te maunga, a noho ana i reira ratou ko ana akonga.
Jesus went up the hill, and sat down there with his disciples.
4 Kua tata hoki te kapenga, te hakari a nga Hurai.
It was near the time of the Jewish Festival of the Passover.
5 A, no te marangatanga ake o nga kanohi o Ihu, ka kite i te rahi o te hui e haere mai ana ki a ia; ka mea ia ki a Piripi, Ko hea tatou hoko ai i etahi taro, kia kai ai enei?
Looking up, and noticing that a great crowd was coming towards him, Jesus said to Philip: “Where are we to buy bread for these people to eat?”
6 I penei ai tana ki hei whakamatau mona; i mohio hoki ia ki tana e mea ai.
He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he meant to do.
7 Ka mea a Piripi ki a ia, E kore e ranei ma ratou nga taro o nga pene e rua rau, kia whiwhi ai tenei, tenei o ratou i tetahi wahi iti.
“Twenty pounds’ worth of bread,” answered Philip, “would not be enough for each of them to have a little.”
8 Ka mea tetahi o ana akonga ki a ia, a Anaru, teina o Haimona Pita,
“There is a boy here,” said Andrew, another of his disciples, Simon Peter’s brother,
9 He tamaiti tenei, e rima ana taro pare, e rua ika nonohi; heoi hei aha enei ma tenei ope nui?
“Who has five barley loaves and two fishes; but what is that for so many?”
10 Na ka mea a Ihu, Meinga nga tangata kia noho. He nui hoki te tarutaru i taua wahi. Na noho ana nga tane ki raro, te tokomaha me te mea e rima mano.
“Make the people sit down,” said Jesus. It was a grassy spot; so the men, who numbered about five thousand, sat down,
11 Na ka mau a Ihu ki nga taro; a ka mutu te whakawhetai, ka tuwha atu ki te hunga e moho ra; me nga ika ano, ta ratou i pai ai.
and then Jesus took the loaves, and, after saying the thanksgiving, distributed them to those who were sitting down; and the same with the fish, giving the people as much as they wanted.
12 A, no ka makona ratou, ka mea ia ki ana akonga, Kohikohia nga toenga o nga whatiwhatinga, kei maumauria tetahi wahi.
When they were satisfied, Jesus said to his disciples: “Collect the broken pieces that are left, so that nothing may be wasted.”
13 Na kohikohia ana e ratou, a whakakiia ana nga kete tekau ma rua ki nga whatiwhatinga o nga taro pare e rima, ki nga toenga a nga tangata i kai ra.
The disciples did so, and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves, which were left after all had eaten.
14 A, i te kitenga o aua tangata i te merekara i meatia e Ihu, ka ki ratou, Ko ia ano tenei, ko te poropiti e haere mai ana ki te ao.
When the people saw the signs which Jesus gave, they said: “This is certainly ‘the Prophet who was to come’ into the world.”
15 Na ka mahara a Ihu, meake ratou haere mai ki te tango i a ia, ki te whakakingi i a ia, na maunu ana ano ia ki te maunga, ko ia anake.
But Jesus, having discovered that they were intending to come and carry him off to make him King, retired again up the hill, quite alone.
16 A, no ka ahiahi, ka haere ana akonga ki te moana.
When evening fell, his disciples went down to the Sea,
17 Na ka eke ratou ki te kaipuke, ka whakawhiti ki tawahi o te moana, ki Kaperenauma. A kua pouri noa ake, kahore ano a Ihu kia tae noa mai ki a ratou.
and, getting into a boat, began to cross to Capernaum. By this time darkness had set in, and Jesus had not yet come back to them;
18 Na ko te turanga o te moana, he nui hoki no te puhanga o te hau.
the Sea, too, was getting rough, for a strong wind was blowing.
19 Na, i to ratou hoenga atu, e rua tekau ma rima, e toru tekau ranei paronga, ka kite i a Ihu e haere maori ana i runga i te moana, e whakatata ana ki te kaipuke; na ka mataku ratou.
When they had rowed three or four miles, they caught sight of him walking on the water and approaching the boat, and they were frightened.
20 Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Ko ahau tenei, aua e wehi.
But Jesus said to them: “It is I; do not be afraid!”
21 Na ka mea ratou kia eke ia ki te kaipuke: a kihai i aha kua u te kaipuke ki te wahi i hoe ai ratou.
And after this they were glad to take him into the boat; and the boat at once arrived off the shore, for which they had been making.
22 I te aonga ake, ka mahara te mano e tu ana ki tera taha o te moana, kahore he poti ke atu o reira, ko tera anake i eke ai ana akonga, kihai hoki a Ihu i eke tahi ratou ko ana akonga ki te poti, engari ko ana akonga anake i haere;
The people who remained on the further side of the Sea had seen that only one boat had been there, and that Jesus had not gone into it with his disciples, but that they had left without him.
23 He poti ke ra ia i u mai i Taipiria ki pahaki atu o te wahi i kai ai ratou i te taro i ta te Ariki whakawhetainga:
Some boats, however, had come from Tiberias, from near the spot where they had eaten the bread after the Master had said the thanksgiving.
24 A, i te kitenga o te mano kahore a Ihu i reira, kahore ano hoki ana akonga, ka eke hoki ratou ki nga kaipuke, ka rere ki Kaperenauma ki te rapu i a Ihu.
So, on the next day, when the people saw that Jesus was not there, or his disciples either, they themselves got into the boats, and went to Capernaum to look for him.
25 A, no to ratou kitenga i a ia i tawahi o te moana, ka mea ki a ia, E Rapi, nonahea koe i tae mai ai ki konei?
And, when they found him on the other side of the Sea, they said: “When did you get here, Rabbi?”
26 Ka whakahoki a Ihu ki a ratou ka mea, He pono, he pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ehara i te mea he kitenga no koutou i nga merekara i rapu ai koutou i ahau, engari no te mea i kai koutou i nga taro, a ka makona.
“In truth I tell you,” answered Jesus, “it is not on account of the signs which you saw that you are looking for me, but because you had the bread to eat and were satisfied.
27 Aua e mahia te kai memeha, engari te kai e mau tonu ana a te ora tonu ra ano, ko ta te Tama hoki a te tangata e hoatu ai ki a koutou: kua oti hoki ia te whai tohu e te Atua, e te Matua. (aiōnios g166)
Work, not for the food that perishes, but for the food that lasts for Immortal Life, which the Son of Man will give you; for upon him the Father — God himself — has set the seal of his approval.” (aiōnios g166)
28 Na ka mea ratou ki a ia, Me aha matou e mahi ai i nga mahi a te Atua?
“How,” they asked, “are we to do the work that God would have us do?”
29 Ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, Ko ta te Atua mahi tenei, kia whakapono koutou ki tana i tono mai ai.
“The work that God would have you do,” answered Jesus, “is to believe in him whom God sent as his Messenger.”
30 Na ka mea ratou ki a ia, Ko tehea tohu te meatia ana e koe kia kite ai matou, kia whakapono ai ki a koe? tena koa tau mahi?
“What sign, then,” they asked, “are you giving, which we may see, and so believe you? What is the work that you are doing?
31 I kai o tatou matua i te mana i te koraha; ko te mea hoki tena i tuhituhia, i homai e ia he taro i te rangi hei kai ma ratou.
Our ancestors had the manna to eat in the desert; as Scripture says — ‘He gave them bread from Heaven to eat.’”
32 Na ko te meatanga a Ihu ki a ratou, he pono, he pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ehara i a Mohi nana i hoatu tena taro ki a koutou i te rangi; engari tenei te hoatu nei e toku Matua ki a koutou te taro pono o te rangi.
“In truth I tell you,” replied Jesus, “Moses did not give you the Bread from Heaven, but my Father does give you the true Bread from Heaven;
33 Ko te taro hoki a te Atua ko ia e heke iho ana i te rangi, e homai ana i te ora ki te ao.
for the Bread that God gives is that which comes down from Heaven, and gives Life to the world.”
34 Na ka mea ratou ki a ia, E te Ariki, homai tenei taro ki a matou i nga wa katoa.
“Master,” they exclaimed, “give us that Bread always!”
35 Ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, Ko ahau te taro o te ora: ki te haere mai tetahi ki ahau, e kore rawa ia e hiakai; ki te whakapono hoki tetahi ki ahau, e kore rawa ia e matewai.
“I am the Life-giving Bread,” Jesus said to them; “he that comes to me shall never be hungry, and he that believes in me shall never thirst again.
36 Otira i mea ano ahau ki a koutou, Kua kite koutou i ahau, a kahore i whakapono.
But, as I have said already, you have seen me, and yet you do not believe in me.
37 Ko a te Matua e homai ai ki ahau ka haere katoa mai ki ahau; a ki te haere mai tetahi ki ahau, e kore rawa e panga e ahau ki waho.
All those whom the Father gives me will come to me; and no one who comes to me will I ever turn away.
38 I heke iho hoki ahau i te rangi, ehara i te mea hei mahi i taku i pai ai, engari i ta toku kaitono mai i pai ai.
For I have come down from Heaven, to do, not my own will, but the will of him who sent me;
39 Ko ta te Matua i pai ai, nana nei ahau i tono mai, koia tenei, kia kaua e ngaro i ahau tetahi wahi o nga mea katoa i homai e ia ki ahau; engari kia whakaarahia ake e ahau a te ra whakamutunga.
and his will is this — that I should not lose one of all those whom he has given me, but should raise them up at the Last Day.
40 Ko ta toku Matua hoki tenei i pai ai, ko te tangata e kite ana i te Tama, e whakapono ana ano ki a ia, kia whiwhi ia ki te ora tonu; maku ano ia e whakaara ake a te ra whakamutunga. (aiōnios g166)
For it is the will of my Father that every one who sees the Son, and believes in him, should have Immortal Life; and I myself will raise him up at the Last Day.” (aiōnios g166)
41 Na ka korero komuhumuhu nga Hurai ki a ia, mona i mea, Ko ahau te taro i heke iho i te rangi.
Upon this the Jews began murmuring against Jesus for saying — ‘I am the Bread which came down from Heaven.’
42 Ka mea ratou, Ehara oti tenei i a Ihu, tama a Hohepa, e mohio nei tatou ki tona papa raua ko tona whaea? ha! he pehea tana e ki nei, I heke iho ahau i te rangi?
“Is not this Jesus, Joseph’s son,” they asked, “whose father and mother we know? How is it that he now says that he has come down from Heaven?”
43 Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, Kati te komuhumuhu i roto i a koutou.
“Do not murmur among yourselves,” said Jesus in reply.
44 Kahore he tangata e ahei te haere mai ki ahau, ki te kahore ia e kumea mai e te Matua, nana nei ahau i tono mai: e maku ano ia e whakaara ake a te ra whakamutunga.
“No one can come to me, unless the Father who sent me draws him to me; and I will raise him up at the Last Day.
45 Kua oti te tuhituhi i roto i nga poropiti, A ka whakaakona ratou katoa e te Atua. Na, ko te tangata kua rongo ki te Matua, kua akona hoki, ka haere mai ki ahau.
It is said in the Prophets — ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Every one who is taught by the Father and learns from him comes to me.
46 Ehara i te mea kua kite tetahi i te Matua; ko ia anake i puta mai i te Atua, ko ia kua kite i te Matua.
Not that any one has seen the Father, except him who is from God — he has seen the Father.
47 He pono, he pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ki te whakapono tetahi, he ora tonu tona. (aiōnios g166)
In truth I tell you, he who believes in me has Immortal Life. (aiōnios g166)
48 Ko ahau te taro o te ora.
I am the Life-giving Bread.
49 I kai ra o koutou matua i te mana i te koraha, a i mate ratou.
Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, and yet died.
50 Ko te taro tenei e heke iho ana i te rangi, kia kai ai te tangata i a ia, a kia kaua e mate.
The Bread that comes down from Heaven is such that whoever eats of it will never die.
51 Ko ahau te taro ora i heke iho i te rangi; ki te kai tetahi i tenei taro, e ora tonu ia: ae ra, ko te taro e hoatu e ahau ko oku kikokiko, e hoatu e ahau hei oranga mo te ao (aiōn g165)
I am the Living Bread that has come down from Heaven. If any one eats of this Bread, he will live for ever; and the Bread that I shall give is my flesh, which I will give for the Life of the world.” (aiōn g165)
52 Na ka totohe nga Hurai tetahi ki tetahi, ka mea, Me pehea e homai ai e tenei tangata ona kikokiko kia kainga e tatou?
Upon this the Jews began disputing with one another: “How is it possible for this man to give us his flesh to eat?”
53 Na, ko te meatanga a Ihu ki a ratou, he pono, he pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ki te kahore koutou e kai i nga kikokiko o te Tama a te tangata, e inu i ona toto, kahore he ora i roto i a koutou ake.
“In truth I tell you,” answered Jesus, “unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink his blood, you have not Life within you.
54 Ko ia e kai ana i oku kikokiko, e inu ana i oku toto, he ora tonu tona; a maku ia e whakaara ake a te ra whakamutunga. (aiōnios g166)
He who takes my flesh for his food, and drinks my blood, has Immortal Life; and I will raise him up at the Last Day. (aiōnios g166)
55 He kai pono hoki oku kikokiko, he mea pono oku toto hei inumanga.
For my flesh is true food, and my blood true drink.
56 Ko ia e kai ana i oku kikokiko, e inu ana i oku toto, e noho ana i roto i ahau, me ahau hoki i roto i a ia.
He who takes my flesh for his food, and drinks my blood, remains united to me, and I to him.
57 Na te Matua ora hoki ahau i tono mai, no te Matua ano toku ora: waihoki ki te kai tetahi i ahau, kei ahau he ora mona.
As the Living Father sent me as his Messenger, and as I live because the Father lives, so he who takes me for his food shall live because I live.
58 Ko te taro tenei i heke iho i te rangi: e kore e pera i ta o koutou matua i kai ra, a mate ana; ki te kai tetahi i tenei taro, e ora tonu ia. (aiōn g165)
That is the Bread which has come down from Heaven — not such as your ancestors ate, and yet died; he who takes this Bread for his food shall live for ever.” (aiōn g165)
59 I korerotia enei mea e ia i roto i te whare karakia, i a ia e whakaako ana i Kaperenauma.
All this Jesus said in a Synagogue, when he was teaching in Capernaum.
60 Na he tokomaha ana akonga i te rongonga, i mea, he kupu pakeke tenei; ko wai e ahei te whakarongo atu?
On hearing it, many of his disciples said: “This is harsh doctrine! Who can bear to listen to it?”
61 Ka mohio ia a Ihu i roto i a ia, e komuhumuhu ana ana akonga ki tenei, ka mea ia ki a ratou, E he ana koutou ki tenei?
But Jesus, aware that his disciples were murmuring about it, said to them:
62 Ka pehea ra ki te kite koutou i te Tama a te tangata e kake atu ana ki te wahi i noho ai ia i mua?
“Is this a hindrance to you? What, then, if you should see the Son of Man ascending where he was before?
63 Ko te wairua te whakaora ana; kahore a te kikokiko wahi: ko nga kupu e korero nei ahau ki a koutou he wairua, he ora.
It is the Spirit that gives Life; mere flesh is of no avail. In the teaching that I have been giving you there is Spirit and there is Life.
64 Tenei ano ia etahi o koutou kahore o ratou whakapono. I matau hoki a Ihu no te timatanga ki nga mea kahore o ratou whakapono, ki te tangata ano e tukua ai ia.
Yet there are some of you who do not believe in me.” For Jesus knew from the first who they were that did not believe in him, and who it was that would betray him;
65 A ka mea ia, Na konei ahau i mea ai ki a koutou, Kahore he tangata e ahei te haere mai ki ahau, ki te kahore e hoatu ki a ia e toku Matua.
and he added: “This is why I told you that no one can come to me, unless enabled by the Father.”
66 I taua wa he tokomaha ana akonga i hoki ki muri, a mutu ake ta ratou haere tahi me ia.
After this many of his disciples drew back, and did not go about with him any longer.
67 Na ka mea a Ihu ki te tekau ma rua, E mea ana ano ranei koutou kia haere?
So Jesus said to the Twelve: “Do you also wish to leave me?”
68 Na ka whakahokia e Haimona Pita ki a ia, E te Ariki, me haere matou ki a wai? kei a koe nga kupu o te ora tonu. (aiōnios g166)
But Simon Peter answered: “Master, to whom shall we go? Immortal Life is in your teaching; (aiōnios g166)
69 Kua whakapono matou, kua matau, ko te Karaiti koe, ko te Tama a te Atua ora.
and we have learned to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God.”
70 Ka whakahokia e Ihu ki a ratou, he teka ianei kotahi tekau ma rua koutou i whiriwhiria e ahau, he rewera ano tetahi o koutou?
“Did not I myself choose you to be the Twelve?” replied Jesus; “and yet, even of you, one is playing the ‘Devil’s’ part.”
71 Ko Hura Ikariote tama a Haimona tana i korero ai: ko te tanga hoki ia meake nei tuku i a ia; ko tetahi hoki ia o te tekau ma rua.
He meant Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, who was about to betray him, though he was one of the Twelve.
