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 went away across the Lake of Galilee (that is, 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 vast multitude followed Him, because they witnessed the miracles on the sick which He was constantly performing.
3 Na ka haere a Ihu ki runga i te maunga, a noho ana i reira ratou ko ana akonga.
Then Jesus went up the hill, and sat there with His disciples.
4 Kua tata hoki te kapenga, te hakari a nga Hurai.
The Jewish Festival, the Passover, was at hand.
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?
And when He looked round and saw an immense crowd coming towards Him, He said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread for all 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 put Philip to the test, for He Himself knew what He was going 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.
"Seven pounds' worth of bread," replied Philip, "is not enough for them all to get even a scanty meal."
8 Ka mea tetahi o ana akonga ki a ia, a Anaru, teina o Haimona Pita,
One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to Him,
9 He tamaiti tenei, e rima ana taro pare, e rua ika nonohi; heoi hei aha enei ma tenei ope nui?
"There is a boy here with five barley loaves and a couple of fish: but what is that among 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. The ground was covered with thick grass; so they sat down, the adult men numbering about 5,000.
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.
Then Jesus took the loaves, and after giving thanks He distributed them to those who were resting on the ground; and also the fish in like manner--as much as they desired.
12 A, no ka makona ratou, ka mea ia ki ana akonga, Kohikohia nga toenga o nga whatiwhatinga, kei maumauria tetahi wahi.
When all were fully satisfied, He said to His disciples, "Gather up the broken portions that remain over, so that nothing be lost."
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.
Accordingly they gathered them up; and with the fragments of the five barley loaves--the broken portions that remained over after they had done eating--they filled twelve baskets.
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.
Thereupon the people, having seen the miracle He had performed, said, "This is indeed 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.
Perceiving, however, that they were about to come and carry Him off by force to make Him a king, Jesus withdrew again up the hill alone by Himself.
16 A, no ka ahiahi, ka haere ana akonga ki te moana.
When evening came on, His disciples went down to the Lake.
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.
There they got on board a boat, and pushed off to cross the Lake to Capernaum. By this time it had become dark, and Jesus had not yet joined them.
18 Na ko te turanga o te moana, he nui hoki no te puhanga o te hau.
The Lake also was getting rough, because 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, however, they had rowed three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the water and coming near the boat.
20 Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Ko ahau tenei, aua e wehi.
They were terrified; but He called to them. "It is I," He said, "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.
Then they were willing to take Him on board; and in a moment the boat reached the shore at the point to which they were going.
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;
Next morning the crowd who were still standing about on the other side of the Lake found that there had been but one small boat there, and they had seen that Jesus did not go on board with His disciples, but that His disciples went away 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:
Yet a number of small boats came from Tiberias to the neighbourhood of the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.
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.
When however the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor His disciples were there, they themselves also took boats and came to Capernaum to look for Jesus.
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?
So when they had crossed the Lake and had found Him, they asked Him, "Rabbi, when did you come here?"
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 most solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that you are searching for me not because you have seen miracles, but because you ate the loaves and had a hearty meal.
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)
Bestow your pains not on the food which perishes, but on the food that remains unto the Life of the Ages--that food which will be the Son of Man's gift to you; for on Him the Father, God, has set His seal." (aiōnios g166)
28 Na ka mea ratou ki a ia, Me aha matou e mahi ai i nga mahi a te Atua?
"What are we to do," they asked, "in order to carry out the things that God requires?"
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.
"This," replied Jesus, "is above all the thing that God requires--that you should be believers in Him whom He has sent."
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 miracle then," they asked, "do you perform for us to see and become believers in you? What do you do?
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 forefathers ate the manna in the Desert, as it is written, 'He gave them bread out of 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 most solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that Moses did not give you the bread out of Heaven, but my Father is giving you the bread--the true bread--out of 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 God's bread is that which comes down out of 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.
"Sir," they said, "always give us that bread."
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 bread of Life," replied Jesus; "he who comes to me shall never hunger, and he who believes in me shall never, never thirst.
36 Otira i mea ano ahau ki a koutou, Kua kite koutou i ahau, a kahore i whakapono.
But it is as I have said to you: you have seen me and yet you do not believe.
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.
Every one whom the Father gives me will come to me, and him who comes to me I will never on any account drive 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 left Heaven and have come down to earth not to seek my own pleasure, but to do 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 this is the will of Him who sent me, that of all that He has given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it to life on 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 this is my Father's will, that every one who fixes his gaze on the Son of God and believes in Him should have the Life of the Ages, and I will raise him to life on 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.
Now the Jews began to find fault about Him because of His claiming to be the bread which came down out of 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?
They kept asking, "Is not this man Joseph's son? Is he not Jesus, whose father and mother we know? What does he mean by now saying, 'I have come down out of Heaven'?"
43 Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, Kati te komuhumuhu i roto i a koutou.
"Do not thus find fault among yourselves," replied Jesus;
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; then I will raise him to life on 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 stands written in the Prophets, 'And they shall all of them be taught by God'. Every one who listens to 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.
No one has ever 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 most solemn truth I tell you that he who believes has the Life of the Ages. (aiōnios g166)
48 Ko ahau te taro o te ora.
I am the bread of Life.
49 I kai ra o koutou matua i te mana i te koraha, a i mate ratou.
Your forefathers ate the manna in the Desert, and they 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.
Here is the bread that comes down out of Heaven that a man may eat it and not 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 come down out of Heaven. If a man eats this bread, he shall live for ever. Moreover the bread which I will give is my flesh given 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?
This led to an angry debate among the Jews. "How can this man," they argued, "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 most solemn truth I tell you," said Jesus, "that unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no Life in 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 eats my flesh and drinks my blood has the Life of the Ages, and I will raise him up on 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 is 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 eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in union with me, and I remain in union with 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 ever-living Father has sent me, and I live because of the Father, so also he who eats me will live because of me.
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)
This is the bread which came down out of Heaven; it is unlike that which your forefathers ate--for they ate and yet died. He who eats this bread 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.
Jesus said all this in the synagogue while teaching at Capernaum.
60 Na he tokomaha ana akonga i te rongonga, i mea, he kupu pakeke tenei; ko wai e ahei te whakarongo atu?
Many therefore of His disciples, when they heard it, said, "This is hard to accept. Who can listen to such teaching?"
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, knowing in Himself that His disciples were dissatisfied about it, Jesus asked 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?
"Does this seem incredible to you? What then if you were to see the Son of Man ascending again 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 which gives Life. The flesh confers no benefit whatever. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and are 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.
But there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who those were that did not believe, 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.
So He added, "That is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it be granted him by the Father."
66 I taua wa he tokomaha ana akonga i hoki ki muri, a mutu ake ta ratou haere tahi me ia.
Thereupon many of His disciples left Him and went away, and no longer associated with Him.
67 Na ka mea a Ihu ki te tekau ma rua, E mea ana ano ranei koutou kia haere?
Jesus therefore appealed to the Twelve. "Will you go also?" He asked.
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)
"Master," replied Simon Peter, "to whom shall we go? Your teachings tell us of the Life of the Ages. (aiōnios g166)
69 Kua whakapono matou, kua matau, ko te Karaiti koe, ko te Tama a te Atua ora.
And we have come to believe and know that you are indeed 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 choose you--the Twelve?" said Jesus, "and even of you one is a devil."
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 alluded to Judas, the son of Simon the Iscariot. For he it was who, though one of the Twelve, was afterwards to betray Him.
