UJohane 6
1 Emva kwalezizinto uJesu wasuka waya ngaphetsheya kolwandle lweGalili, lweTiberiyasi.
After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is that of Tiberias.
2 Laselimlandela ixuku elikhulu, ngoba babebone izibonakaliso zakhe azenza kulabo abagulayo.
And a great multitude followed him, because they saw the miracles which he did on them that were diseased.
3 UJesu wasesenyukela entabeni, wahlala phansi khona labafundi bakhe.
Jesus therefore went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.
4 Iphasika, umkhosi wamaJuda, laselisondele.
Now the pasch, the festival day of the Jews, was near at hand.
5 Kwathi uJesu ephakamisa amehlo, wasebona ixuku elikhulu lisiza kuye, wathi kuFiliphu: Sizathenga ngaphi izinkwa, ukuze laba badle?
When Jesus therefore had lifted up his eyes, and seen that a very great multitude cometh to him, he said to Philip: Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?
6 Njalo watsho lokhu emhlola, ngoba yena wayekwazi azakwenza.
And this he said to try him; for he himself knew what he would do.
7 UFiliphu wamphendula wathi: Izinkwa zabodenariyo abangamakhulu amabili zingebanele, ukuthi wonke ngamunye wabo azuze ingcosana.
Philip answered him: Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one may take a little.
8 Omunye wabafundi bakhe, uAndreya umfowabo kaSimoni Petro, wathi kuye:
One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, saith to him:
9 Kukhona umfanyana lapha, olezinkwa ezinhlanu zebhali lenhlanzana ezimbili; kodwa ziyini kwabanengi kangaka?
There is a boy here that hath five barley loaves, and two fishes; but what are these among so many?
10 Kodwa uJesu wathi: Hlalisani abantu phansi. Kwakukhona utshani obunengi kuleyondawo. Ngakho amadoda ahlala phansi inani lawo lalingaba zinkulungwane ezinhlanu.
Then Jesus said: Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. The men therefore sat down, in number about five thousand.
11 UJesu wasezithatha izinkwa, esebongile wazinika abafundi, labafundi kulabo ababehlezi phansi; ngokunjalo lenhlanzana ngangokufuna kwabo.
And Jesus took the loaves: and when he had given thanks, he distributed to them that were set down. In like manner also of the fishes, as much as they would.
12 Bathi sebesuthi, wathi kubafundi bakhe: Buthani imvuthu eziseleyo, ukuze kungachitheki lutho.
And when they were filled, he said to his disciples: Gather up the fragments that remain, lest they be lost.
13 Basebebutha, bagcwalisa izitsha ezilitshumi lambili ngemvuthu zezinkwa ezinhlanu zebhali, ezasalayo kulabo abadlayo.
They gathered up therefore, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above to them that had eaten.
14 Kwathi lababantu bebona isimangaliso asenzileyo uJesu, bathi: Ngeqiniso lo nguye umProfethi omele ukuza emhlabeni.
Now those men, when they had seen what a miracle Jesus had done, said: This is of a truth the prophet, that is to come into the world.
15 Kwathi uJesu esazi ukuthi bazakuza bambambe ngamandla, ukumbeka abe yinkosi, wabuyela futhi entabeni yena eyedwa.
Jesus therefore, when he knew that they would come to take him by force, and make him king, fled again into the mountain himself alone.
16 Sekuhlwile, abafundi bakhe behlela elwandle,
And when evening was come, his disciples went down to the sea.
17 sebengenile emkhunjini, beza ngaphetsheya kolwandle ukuya eKapenawume. Kwasekumnyama, uJesu wayengafikanga kubo.
And when they had gone up into a ship, they went over the sea to Capharnaum; and it was now dark, and Jesus was not come unto them.
18 Lwaseluvuka ulwandle ngoba umoya olamandla wawuvunguza.
And the sea arose, by reason of a great wind that blew.
19 Sebegwedlile amastadiyu angaba ngamatshumi amabili lanhlanu kumbe amatshumi amathathu, babona uJesu ehamba phezu kolwandle, esondela emkhunjini; basebesethuka.
When they had rowed therefore about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking upon the sea, and drawing nigh to the ship, and they were afraid.
20 Kodwa wathi kubo: Yimi, lingesabi.
But he saith to them: It is I; be not afraid.
21 Basebevuma ukumemukela emkhunjini; njalo wahle wafika umkhumbi elizweni ababesiya kilo.
They were willing therefore to take him into the ship; and presently the ship was at the land to which they were going.
22 Kusisa ixuku elalimi ngaphetsheya kolwandle, libona ukuthi kwakungela lamunye umkolo lapho ngaphandle kwalowo ababengene kuwo abafundi bakhe, lokuthi uJesu wayengangenanga emkolweni labafundi bakhe, kodwa abafundi bakhe babehambe bodwa,
The next day, the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea, saw that there was no other ship there but one, and that Jesus had not entered into the ship with his disciples, but that his disciples were gone away alone.
23 kodwa eminye imikolo evela eTiberiyasi yafika eduze lendawo lapho ababedle khona isinkwa, emva kokuthi iNkosi isibongile;
But other ships came in from Tiberias; nigh unto the place where they had eaten the bread, the Lord giving thanks.
24 ngakho ixuku selibonile ukuthi uJesu wayengekho lapho loba abafundi bakhe, bangena labo emikhunjini, bafika eKapenawume, bedinga uJesu.
When therefore the multitude saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they took shipping, and came to Capharnaum, seeking for Jesus.
25 Bathi sebemtholile ngaphetsheya kolwandle, bathi kuye: Rabi, ufike nini lapha?
And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him: Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
26 UJesu wabaphendula wathi: Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kini: Liyangidinga, kungeyisikho ukuthi labona izibonakaliso, kodwa ngoba ladla izinkwa lasutha.
Jesus answered them, and said: Amen, amen I say to you, you seek me, not because you have seen miracles, but because you did eat of the loaves, and were filled.
27 Lingasebenzeli ukudla okuphelayo, kodwa ukudla okuhlala kuze kube yimpilo elaphakade, ezalinika khona iNdodana yomuntu; ngoba yena uNkulunkulu uYise umphawulile. (aiōnios g166)
Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that which endureth unto life everlasting, which the Son of man will give you. For him hath God, the Father, sealed. (aiōnios g166)
28 Basebesithi kuye: Sizakwenzani, ukuze senze imisebenzi kaNkulunkulu?
They said therefore unto him: What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?
29 UJesu waphendula wathi kubo: Lo ngumsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, ukuze likholwe kulowo yena amthumileyo.
Jesus answered, and said to them: This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he hath sent.
30 Ngakho bathi kuye: Pho wena wenza isibonakaliso bani, ukuze sibone sikholwe kuwe? Usebenzani?
They said therefore to him: What sign therefore dost thou shew, that we may see, and may believe thee? What dost thou work?
31 Obaba bethu badla imana enkangala, njengokulotshiweyo ukuthi: Wabanika isinkwa esivela ezulwini ukuthi badle.
Our fathers did eat manna in the desert, as it is written: He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
32 UJesu wasesithi kubo: Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kini: UMozisi kalinikanga isinkwa esivela ezulwini; kodwa uBaba ulinika isinkwa soqobo esivela ezulwini.
Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say to you; Moses gave you not bread from heaven, but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
33 Ngoba isinkwa sikaNkulunkulu singuye owehla evela ezulwini esinika impilo emhlabeni.
For the bread of God is that which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life to the world.
34 Basebesithi kuye: Nkosi, sinike lesosinkwa njalonjalo.
They said therefore unto him: Lord, give us always this bread.
35 UJesu wasesithi kubo: Mina ngiyisinkwa sempilo; lowo oza kimi, kasoze alambe; lalowo okholwa kimi, kasoze ome lakanye.
And Jesus said to them: I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall not hunger: and he that believeth in me shall never thirst.
36 Kodwa ngithe kini: Lani lingibonile, kodwa kalikholwa.
But I said unto you, that you also have seen me, and you believe not.
37 Bonke uBaba anginika bona bazakuza kimi; lozayo kimi angisoze ngimxotshele phandle.
All that the Father giveth to me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me, I will not cast out.
38 Ngoba ngehlile ezulwini, hatshi ukuthi ngenze intando yami, kodwa intando yalowo ongithumileyo.
Because I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me.
39 Lalokhu kuyintando kaBaba ongithumileyo, ukuze konke anginike khona, ngingalahlekelwa lutho kikho, kodwa ngikuvuse ngosuku lokucina.
Now this is the will of the Father who sent me: that of all that he hath given me, I should lose nothing; but should raise it up again in the last day.
40 Lalokhu kuyintando yongithumileyo, ukuthi wonke obona iNdodana njalo akholwe kuyo, abe lempilo elaphakade, njalo mina ngizamvusa ngosuku lokucina. (aiōnios g166)
And this is the will of my Father that sent me: that every one who seeth the Son, and believeth in him, may have life everlasting, and I will raise him up in the last day. (aiōnios g166)
41 Ngalokho amaJuda akhonona ngaye, ngoba wathi: Mina ngiyisinkwa esehla sivela ezulwini.
The Jews therefore murmured at him, because he had said: I am the living bread which came down from heaven.
42 Athi-ke: Lo kayisuye yini uJesu indodana kaJosefa, uyise lonina thina esibaziyo? Pho yena utsho njani, ukuthi: Ngehle ngivela ezulwini?
And they said: Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then saith he, I came down from heaven?
43 UJesu wasephendula wathi kuwo: Lingakhononi phakathi kwenu.
Jesus therefore answered, and said to them: Murmur not among yourselves.
44 Kakho ongeza kimi, ngaphandle kokuthi uBaba ongithumileyo amdonse, njalo mina ngizamvusa ngosuku lokucina.
No man can come to me, except the Father, who hath sent me, draw him; and I will raise him up in the last day.
45 Kulotshiwe kubaprofethiukuthi: Njalo bonke bazafundiswa nguNkulunkulu. Ngakho wonke ozwileyo ngoBaba wafunda, uyeza kimi.
It is written in the prophets: And they shall all be taught of God. Every one that hath heard of the Father, and hath learned, cometh to me.
46 Kayisikho ukuthi ukhona obone uBaba, ngaphandle kwakhe ovela kuNkulunkulu, yena umbonile uBaba.
Not that any man hath seen the Father; but he who is of God, he hath seen the Father.
Amen, amen I say unto you: He that believeth in me, hath everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
48 Mina ngiyisinkwa sempilo.
I am the bread of life.
49 Oyihlo badla imana enkangala, futhi bafa;
Your fathers did eat manna in the desert, and are dead.
50 lesi yisinkwa esehla sivela ezulwini, ukuze umuntu adle okwaso angafi.
This is the bread which cometh down from heaven; that if any man eat of it, he may not die.
51 Mina ngiyisinkwa esiphilayo, esehla sivela ezulwini; uba umuntu esidla lesisinkwa, uzaphila ephakadeni. Njalo lesinkwa mina engizasinika, siyinyama yami, mina engizayinikela impilo yomhlaba. (aiōn g165)
I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever; and the bread that I will give, is my flesh, for the life of the world. (aiōn g165)
52 AmaJuda asephikisana esithi: Lo angasinika njani inyama yakhe siyidle?
The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying: How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
53 Ngakho uJesu wathi kuwo: Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kini: Ngaphandle kokuthi lidle inyama yeNdodana yomuntu linathe igazi layo, kalilampilo phakathi kwenu.
Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say unto you: Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you.
54 Odla inyama yami anathe igazi lami, ulempilo elaphakade, njalo mina ngizamvusa ngosuku lokucina. (aiōnios g166)
He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day. (aiōnios g166)
55 Ngoba inyama yami iyikudla oqotho, legazi lami lingokunathwayo oqotho.
For my flesh is meat indeed: and my blood is drink indeed.
56 Odla inyama yami anathe igazi lami, uhlala kimi, lami kuye.
He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, abideth in me, and I in him.
57 Njengalokhu uBaba ophilayo engithumile, lami ngiphila ngoBaba; ngakho ongidlayo, laye uzaphila ngami.
As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father; so he that eateth me, the same also shall live by me.
58 Lesi yisinkwa esehla sivela ezulwini; akunjengaboyihlo abadla imana, sebafa; odla lesisinkwa, uzaphila okulaphakade. (aiōn g165)
This is the bread that came down from heaven. Not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead. He that eateth this bread, shall live for ever. (aiōn g165)
59 Watsho lezizinto esinagogeni efundisa eKapenawume.
These things he said, teaching in the synagogue, in Capharnaum.
60 Kwathi abanengi kubafundi bakhe besizwa bathi: Lilukhuni lelilizwi; ngubani ongalizwa?
Many therefore of his disciples, hearing it, said: This saying is hard, and who can hear it?
61 Kodwa uJesu esazi phakathi kwakhe ukuthi abafundi bakhe bayasola ngalokhu, wathi kubo: Lokhu kuyalikhuba yini?
But Jesus, knowing in himself, that his disciples murmured at this, said to them: Doth this scandalize you?
62 Pho, lizathini uba libona iNdodana yomuntu isenyukela lapho eyayikhona kuqala?
If then you shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
63 KunguMoya ophilisayo, inyama kayisizi lutho; amazwi mina engiwakhuluma kini, angumoya njalo ayimpilo.
It is the spirit that quickeneth: the flesh profiteth nothing. The words that I have spoken to you, are spirit and life.
64 Kodwa bakhona abanye kini abangakholwayo. Ngoba uJesu wayekwazi kusukela ekuqaleni, ukuthi ngobani abangakholwayo, lokuthi ngubani ozamnikela.
But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning, who they were that did not believe, and who he was, that would betray him.
65 Wasesithi: Kungenxa yalokhu ngithe kini: Kakho ongeza kimi, ngaphandle kokuthi ekunikwe nguBaba.
And he said: Therefore did I say to you, that no man can come to me, unless it be given him by my Father.
66 Kusukela lapho abanengi babafundi bakhe babuyela emuva, kababe besahamba laye.
After this many of his disciples went back; and walked no more with him.
67 UJesu wasesithi kwabalitshumi lambili: Lani lithanda ukuzihambela yini?
Then Jesus said to the twelve: Will you also go away?
68 USimoni Petro wasemphendula wathi: Nkosi, sizakuya kubani? Amazwi empilo elaphakade akuwe, (aiōnios g166)
And Simon Peter answered him: Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
69 njalo thina siyakholwa, sesisazi ukuthi wena unguKristu iNdodana kaNkulunkulu ophilayo.
And we have believed and have known, that thou art the Christ, the Son of God.
70 UJesu wabaphendula wathi: Mina kangilikhethanga yini lina abalitshumi lambili, kodwa omunye wenu ungudiyabhola?
Jesus answered them: Have not I chosen you twelve; and one of you is a devil?
71 Wayekhuluma ngoJudasi Iskariyothi kaSimoni; ngoba nguye owayezamnikela, engomunye wabalitshumi lambili.
Now he meant Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon: for this same was about to betray him, whereas he was one of the twelve.
