Johani 6
1 Shure kwaizvozvi, Jesu akayambuka akaenda mhiri kumahombekombe eGungwa reGarirea (ndiro Gungwa reTibheriasi),
After these things Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee — that is, the sea of Tiberias.
2 uye vazhinji zhinji vakamutevera nokuti vakanga vaona zviratidzo zvaakanga aita pavarwere.
And a great number of people went after him because they saw the signs which he did on those who were ill.
3 Ipapo Jesu akakwira pagomo akagara pasi navadzidzi vake.
Then Jesus went up the mountain and was seated there with his disciples.
4 Mutambo wavaJudha wePasika wakanga wava pedyo.
Now the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was near.
5 Jesu akati asimudza meso ake akaona vanhu vazhinji zhinji vachiuya kwaari, akati kuna Firipi, “Tichatenga chingwa kupiko chokuti vanhu ava vadye?”
Lifting up his eyes, Jesus saw a great number of people coming to where he was, and he said to Philip, Where may we get bread for all these people?
6 Akabvunza izvi achida chete kumuedza, nokuti akanga atoziva kare mupfungwa dzake zvaakanga achizoita.
This he said, testing him: for he had no doubt what he himself would do.
7 Firipi akamupindura akati, “Mubayiro unoshandirwa kwemwedzi misere haugoni kutenga chingwa chinokwana mumwe nomumwe hake, kuti awane chimedu!”
Philip made answer, Bread to the value of two hundred pence would not be enough even to give everyone a little.
8 Mumwe wavadzidzi vake, Andirea, mununʼuna waPetro, akati,
One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to Jesus,
9 “Houno mukomana ane zvingwa zviduku zvebhari nehove mbiri, asi zvingasvikepiko pakati pavanhu vakawanda zvakadai?”
There is a boy here with five barley cakes and two fishes: but what is that among such a number?
10 Jesu akati, “Itai kuti vanhu vagare pasi.” Panzvimbo iyo pakanga pano uswa huzhinji kwazvo, uye varume vakagara pasi vakanga vachikarosvika zviuru zvishanu.
Jesus said, Let the people be seated. Now there was much grass in that place. And those seated on the grass were about five thousand.
11 Ipapo Jesu akatora zvingwa zviya, akavonga, uye akazvigovera kuna vaya vakanga vagara pasi mumwe nomumwe paaida napo. Akaita zvimwe chetezvo nehove.
Then Jesus took the cakes and having given praise to God, he gave them to the people who were seated, and the fishes in the same way, as much as they had need of.
12 Vakati vadya vose, akati kuvadzidzi vake, “Unganidzai zvimedu zvose zvasara. Musarega zvichiraswa.”
And when they had had enough, Jesus said to his disciples, Take up the broken bits which are over, so that nothing may be wasted.
13 Saka vakazviunganidza zvikazara matengu gumi namaviri nezvimedu zvezvingwa zvebhari zvishanu, zvakanga zvasiyiwa navaya vakanga vadya.
So they took them up: twelve baskets full of broken bits of the five cakes which were over after the people had had enough.
14 Vanhu vakati vaona chiratidzo chakanga chaitwa naJesu, vakatanga kuti, “Zvirokwazvo uyu ndiye muprofita aifanira kuuya panyika.”
And when the people saw the sign which he had done, they said, Truly, this is the prophet who is to come into the world.
15 Jesu, akaziva kuti vaida kumumanikidza kuti vamuite mambo, akabvazve, akaenda kugomo ari oga.
Now when Jesus saw that the people were about to come and take him by force to make him a king, he went away again up the mountain by himself.
16 Nguva yamadekwana yakati yasvika, vadzidzi vake vakaburuka vakaenda kugungwa,
When evening came the disciples went down to the sea;
17 uko kwavakandopinda mugwa vakasimuka vakayambuka vakaenda mhiri kwegungwa vakananga kuKapenaume. Zvino kwakanga kwasviba, uye Jesu akanga asati ava pavari.
And they took a boat and went across the sea in the direction of Capernaum. By then it was dark and still Jesus had not come to them.
18 Mhepo ine simba yakanga ichivhuvhuta uye kukava namafungu ane hasha.
The sea was getting rough because of a strong wind which was blowing.
19 Vakati vakwasva igwa kwamakiromita angaita mashanu kana matanhatu, vakaona Jesu achiuya kuigwa, achifamba pamusoro pemvura; uye vakatya zvikuru.
After they had gone three or four miles they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near to the boat; and they had great fear.
20 Asi iye akati kwavari, “Ndini; musatya.”
But he said to them, It is I, have no fear.
21 Ipapo vakafara kumugamuchira mugwa; pakarepo igwa rakasvika kumahombekombe kwavakanga vakananga.
Then they readily took him into the boat: and straight away the boat was at the land to which they were going.
22 Fume mangwana, vanhu vazhinji vakanga vasara mhiri kwegungwa vakatanga kuona kuti pakanga pachingova neigwa rimwe chete ipapo, uye kuti Jesu haana kunge apinda mariri kuti aende navadzidzi vake, asi kuti vakanga vaenda vari voga.
The day after, the people who were on the other side of the sea saw that only one small boat had been there, that Jesus had not gone in that boat with the disciples, but that the disciples had gone away by themselves.
23 Ipapo mamwe magwa aibva kuTibheriasi akasvika pedyo nenzvimbo yakanga yadyirwa chingwa navanhu shure kwokuvonga kwaShe.
Some other boats, however, came from Tiberias near to the place where they had taken the bread after the Lord had given praise.
24 Vazhinji vakati vaona kuti Jesu navadzidzi vake vakanga vasisipo, vakapinda mumagwa ndokuenda kuKapenaume vachitsvaka Jesu.
So when the people saw that Jesus was not there, or his disciples, they got into those boats and went over to Capernaum looking for Jesus.
25 Vakati vamuwana ari mhiri kwegungwa vakamubvunza vakati, “Rabhi, makauya kuno riniko?”
And when they came across him on the other side of the sea they said, Rabbi, when did you come here?
26 Jesu akapindura akati, “Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti, muri kunditsvaka, kwete nokuda kwokuti makaona zviratidzo, asi nokuda kwokuti makadya zvingwa uye mukaguta.
Jesus, answering them, said, Truly I say to you, You come after me, not because you saw signs, but because you were given the bread and had enough.
27 Musashandira zvokudya zvinopera, asi shandirai zvokudya zvinogara kuupenyu husingaperi zvamuchapiwa noMwanakomana woMunhu. Mwari Baba vakaisa chisimbiso chavo paari.” (aiōnios g166)
Let your work not be for the food which comes to an end, but for the food which goes on for eternal life, which the Son of man will give to you, for on him has God the Father put his mark. (aiōnios g166)
28 Ipapo vakamubvunza vakati, “Tinofanira kuita seiko kuti tiite mabasa anodikanwa naMwari?”
Then they said to him, How may we do the works of God?
29 Jesu akapindura akati, “Basa raMwari nderiri: kuti mutende kuna iye waakatuma.”
Jesus, answering, said to them, This is to do the work of God: to have faith in him whom God has sent.
30 Saka vakamubvunza vakati, “Muchatiratidza chiratidzo cheiko chatingaona kuti tigokutendai? Muchaiteiko?
So they said, What sign do you give us, so that we may see and have faith in you? What do you do?
31 Madzibaba edu akadya mana murenje; sezvazvakanyorwa zvichinzi: ‘Akavapa chingwa chakabva kudenga kuti vadye.’”
Our fathers had the manna in the waste land, as the Writings say, He gave them bread from heaven.
32 Jesu akati kwavari, “Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri, haasi Mozisi akakupai chingwa chakabva kudenga, asi kuti ndiBaba vangu vanokupai chingwa chezvokwadi chinobva kudenga.
Jesus then said to them, Truly I say to you, What Moses gave you was not the bread from heaven; it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.
33 Nokuti chingwa chaMwari ndiye anoburuka achibva kudenga uye anopa upenyu kunyika.”
The bread of God is the bread which comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world.
34 Ivo vakati, “Ishe, kubva zvino zvichienda mberi, tipei chingwa ichi.”
Ah, Lord, they said, give us that bread for ever!
35 Ipapo Jesu akataura achiti, “Ndini chingwa choupenyu. Ani naani anouya kwandiri haangatongovi nenzara, uye ani naani anotenda kwandiri haangatongovi nenyota.
And this was the answer of Jesus: I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never be in need of food, and he who has faith in me will never be in need of drink.
36 Asi sezvandakakuudzai, makandiona uye hamutendi nazvino.
But it is as I said to you: you have seen me, and still you have no faith.
37 Zvose zvandinopiwa naBaba zvichauya kwandiri, uye ani naani anouya kwandiri handingatongomurasiri kure.
Whatever the Father gives to me will come to me; and I will not send away anyone who comes to me.
38 Nokuti handina kuburuka kubva kudenga kuti ndizoita kuda kwangu asi kuti ndizoita kuda kwaiye akandituma.
For I have come down from heaven, not to do my pleasure, but the pleasure of him who sent me.
39 Uye uku ndiko kuda kwaiye akandituma, kuti ndirege kurasikirwa navose vaakandipa, asi kuti ndivamutse pazuva rokupedzisira.
And this is the pleasure of him who sent me, that I am not to let out of my hands anything which he has given me, but I am to give it new life on the last day.
40 Nokuti kuda kwaBaba vangu ndiko kuti ani naani anotarira kuMwanakomana agotenda kwaari achava noupenyu husingaperi, uye ndichamumutsa pazuva rokupedzisira.” (aiōnios g166)
This, I say, is my Father's pleasure, that everyone who sees the Son and has faith in him may have eternal life: and I will take him up on the last day. (aiōnios g166)
41 Ipapo, vaJudha vakatanga kugununʼuna pamusoro pake nokuti akati, “Ndini chingwa chakaburuka kubva kudenga.”
Now the Jews said bitter things about Jesus because of his words, I am the bread which came down from heaven.
42 Vakati, “Ko, uyu haasi Jesu, mwanakomana waJosefa here, watinoziva baba vake namai vake? Zvino anotaura sei achiti, ‘Ndakaburuka kubva kudenga’?”
And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have seen? How is it then that he now says, I have come down from heaven?
43 Jesu akapindura akati, “Regai kugununʼuna pakati penyu.
Jesus made answer and said, Do not say things against me, one to another.
44 Hakuna munhu angauya kwandiri kunze kwokunge Baba vakandituma vamukweva, uye ndichamumutsa pazuva rokupedzisira.
No man is able to come to me if the Father who sent me does not give him the desire to come: and I will take him up from the dead on the last day.
45 Muvaprofita makanyorwa muchinzi: ‘Vose vachadzidziswa naMwari.’ Ani naani anoteerera kuna Baba uye anodzidza kubva kwavari anouya kwandiri.
The writings of the prophets say, And they will all have teaching from God. Everyone whose ears have been open to the teaching of the Father comes to me.
46 Hakuna munhu akaona Baba kunze kwouyo anobva kuna Mwari; ndiye chete akaona Baba.
Not that anyone has ever seen the Father; only he who is from God, he has seen the Father.
Truly I say to you, He who has faith in me has eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
48 Ndini chingwa choupenyu.
I am the bread of life.
49 Madzitateguru enyu akadya mana mugwenga, asi vakafa.
Your fathers took the manna in the waste land — and they are dead.
50 Asi hechino chingwa chinobva kudenga, chinoti kana munhu akadya haangafi.
The bread which comes from heaven is such bread that a man may take it for food and never see death.
51 Ndini chingwa chipenyu chakaburuka kubva kudenga. Kana munhu upi zvake akadya chingwa ichi, achararama nokusingaperi. Chingwa ichi inyama yangu, yandichapa nokuda kwoupenyu hwenyika.” (aiōn g165)
I am the living bread which has come from heaven: if any man takes this bread for food he will have life for ever: and more than this, the bread which I will give is my flesh which I will give for the life of the world. (aiōn g165)
52 Ipapo vaJudha vakatanga kukakavadzana zvikuru pakati pavo vachiti, “Munhu uyu angatipa nyama yake kuti tiidye seiko?”
Then the Jews had an angry discussion among themselves, saying, How is it possible for this man to give us his flesh for food?
53 Jesu akati kwavari, “Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti, kana musingadyi nyama yoMwanakomana woMunhu nokunwa ropa rake, hamuna upenyu mamuri.
Then Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, If you do not take the flesh of the Son of man for food, and if you do not take his blood for drink, you have no life in you.
He who takes my flesh for food and my blood for drink has eternal life: and I will take him up from the dead at the last day. (aiōnios g166)
55 Nokuti nyama yangu ndicho chokudya chaicho.
My flesh is true food and my blood is true drink.
56 Ani naani anodya nyama yangu uye anonwa ropa rangu anogara mandiri, neni maari.
He who takes my flesh for food and my blood for drink is in me and I in him.
57 Sezvo Baba vapenyu vakandituma uye ndichirarama nokuda kwaBaba, saizvozvo uyo anodya pandiri achararama nokuda kwangu.
As the living Father has sent me, and I have life because of the Father, even so he who takes me for his food will have life because of me.
58 Ichi ndicho chingwa chakaburuka kubva kudenga. Madzitateguru enyu akadya mana uye akafa, asi ani naani anodya chingwa ichi achararama nokusingaperi.” (aiōn g165)
This is the bread which has come down from heaven. It is not like the food which your fathers had: they took of the manna, and are dead; but he who takes this bread for food will have life for ever. (aiōn g165)
59 Akataura izvi paakanga achidzidzisa ari musinagoge muKapenaume.
Jesus said these things in the Synagogue while he was teaching at Capernaum.
60 Pavakanzwa izvi, vadzidzi vake vazhinji vakati, “Kudzidzisa uku kwakaoma. Ndianiko angakugamuchira?”
Then, hearing this, a number of his disciples said, This is a hard saying; who is able to take in such teaching?
61 Achiziva zvake kuti vadzidzi vake vakanga vachigununʼuna pamusoro paizvozvi, Jesu akati kwavari, “Izvi zvinokugumburai here?
When Jesus became conscious that his disciples were protesting about what he said, he said to them, Does this give you trouble?
62 Muchaita sei kana mukaona Mwanakomana woMunhu achikwira achienda kwaaimbova kare!
What then will you say if you see the Son of man going up to where he was before?
63 Mweya ndiye anopa upenyu, nyama haina chainobatsira. Mashoko andataura kwamuri ndiwo mweya, uye ane upenyu.
The spirit is the life giver; the flesh is of no value: the words which I have said to you are spirit and they are life.
64 Asi vamwe venyu varipo vasingatendi.” Nokuti Jesu akanga achiziva kubva pakutanga kuti ndivanaani pakati pavo vakanga vasingatendi uye kuti ndiani aizomupandukira.
But still some of you have no faith. For it was clear to Jesus from the first who they were who had no faith, and who it was who would be false to him.
65 Akaenderera mberi achiti, “Ndokusaka ndakuudzai kuti hakuna munhu angauya kwandiri kunze kwokunge azvipiwa naBaba.”
And he said, This is why I said to you, No man is able to come to me if he is not given the power to do so by the Father.
66 Kubva panguva iyi vadzidzi vake vazhinji vakadzokera shure uye vakasazomutevera.
Because of what he said, a number of the disciples went back and would no longer go with him.
67 Jesu akabvunza vane gumi navaviri akati, “Nemiwo hamusi kuda kuenda here?”
So Jesus said to the twelve, Have you a desire to go away?
Then Simon Peter gave this answer: Lord, to whom are we to go? you have the words of eternal life; (aiōnios g166)
69 Tinotenda uye tinoziva kuti ndimi Mutsvene waMwari.”
And we have faith and are certain that you are the Holy One of God.
70 Ipapo Jesu akati, “Handina kukusarudzai, imi vane gumi navaviri here? Asi mumwe wenyu ndidhiabhori!”
Then Jesus said, Did I not make a selection of you, the twelve, and one of you is a son of the Evil One?
71 Akanga achireva Judhasi, mwanakomana waSimoni Iskarioti, uyo, kunyange akanga ari mumwe wavane gumi navaviri, aizomupandukira.
He was talking of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. It was he who was to be false to Jesus — one of the twelve.
