Yohana 6
1 Baada ya mambo haya, Yesu alienda pande za Bahari ya Galilaya, pia huitwa Bahari ya Tiberia.
After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is that of Tiberias.
2 Mkutano mkubwa ulikuwa ukimfuata kwa sababu waliona ishara alizozifanya kwa waliokuwa wagonjwa.
And a great multitude followed him, because they saw the miracles which he did on them that were diseased.
3 Yesu alipanda juu hadi upande wa juu wa mlima na akakaa huko na wanafunzi wake
Jesus therefore went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.
4 (Na Pasaka, Sikukuu ya Wayahudi ilikuwa imekaribia).
Now the pasch, the festival day of the Jews, was near at hand.
5 Yesu alipoinua macho yake juu na kuona umati mkubwa unakuja kwake, akamwambia Filipo, “Tutakwenda wapi kununua mikate ili hawa waweze kula”?
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 (Lakini Yesu aliyasema haya kwa Filipo kwa kumjaribu kwa kuwa yeye mwenyewe alijua atakachofanya).
And this he said to try him; for he himself knew what he would do.
7 Filipo akamjibu, “Hata mikate ya thamani ya dinari mia mbili isingelitosha hata kila mmoja kupata hata kipande kidogo.”
Philip answered him: Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one may take a little.
8 Andrea, mmoja wa wanafunzi wake ndugu yake Simoni Petro akamwambia
One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, saith to him:
9 Yesu, “Kuna mvulana hapa ana mikate mitano na samaki wawili, lakini hii yafaa nini kwa watu wengi namna hii?”
There is a boy here that hath five barley loaves, and two fishes; but what are these among so many?
10 Yesu akawambia, “Waketisheni watu chini” (kulikuwa na nyasi nyingi mahali pale). Hivyo wanaume wapata elfu tano wakakaa chini.
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 Kisha Yesu akachukua ile mikate mitano akashukuru akawawagawia wale waliokuwa wamekaa. Vivyo hivyo akawagawia samaki kwa kadiri ya vile wavyohitaji.
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 Watu waliposhiba, aliwambia wanafunzi wake, “Vikusanyeni vipande vya mabaki, vilivyobaki ili kwamba kisipotee chochote.”
And when they were filled, he said to his disciples: Gather up the fragments that remain, lest they be lost.
13 Basi wakakusanya na kujaza vikapu kumi na viwili, vipande vya mikate mitano ya shayiri- vipande vilivyosazwa na wale waliokula.
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 Kisha watu walipoona ishara hii aliyoifanya walisema, “Kweli huyu ndiye yule nabii ajaye ulimwenguni.”
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 Yesu alipotambua kuwa walikuwa wanataka kumkamata ili wamfanye kuwa mfalme wao, alijitenga, tena na akaenda mlimani yeye peke yake.
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 Ilipokuwa jioni, wanafunzi wake walishuka kwenda ziwani.
And when evening was come, his disciples went down to the sea.
17 Wakapanda kwenye mtumbwi na walikuwa wakivuka kuelekea Kapernaumu. (Giza lilikuwa limeingia na Yesu alikuwa bado hajaja kwao).
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 Wakati huo upepo mkali ulikuwa ukivuma, na bahari ilikuwa ikendelea kuchafuka.
And the sea arose, by reason of a great wind that blew.
19 Tena wanafunzi wake walipokuwa wamepiga makasia kama ishirini na matano au thelathini, wakamwona Yesu akitembea juu ya bahari kuukaribia mtumbwi, na wakaogopa.
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 Lakini akawambia, “Ni mimi! Msiogope.”
But he saith to them: It is I; be not afraid.
21 Tena walikuwa tayari kumbeba kwenye mtumbwi, na mara mtumbwi ulifika kwenye nchi mahali walipokuwa wakienda.
They were willing therefore to take him into the ship; and presently the ship was at the land to which they were going.
22 Siku iliyofuata, mkutano uliokuwa umesimama upande wa bahari waliona kuwa hakuna mtumbwi mwingine isipokuwa ule ambayo Yesu na wanafunzi wake walikuwa hawajaupanda lakini wanafunzi wake walikuwa wameenda zao wenyewe.
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 (Ingawa, kulikuwa na baadhi ya mitumbwi iliyotoka Tiberia karibu na mahali walipokula mikate baada ya Bwana kutoa shukrani).
But other ships came in from Tiberias; nigh unto the place where they had eaten the bread, the Lord giving thanks.
24 Wakati makutano walipotambua kuwa sio Yesu wala wanafunzi wake walikuwa kule, wao wenyewe walipanda ndani ya mitumbwi wakaenda Kapernaumu wakimtafuta Yesu.
When therefore the multitude saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they took shipping, and came to Capharnaum, seeking for Jesus.
25 Baada ya kumpata upande mwingine wa ziwa wakamuuliza, “Rabbi ulikuja lini huku?”
And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him: Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
26 Yesu akawajibu, akawambia, Amini, amini, mnanitafuta mimi, sio kwa sababu mliziona ishara, bali kwa sababu mlikula mikate na kushiba.
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 Acheni kukifanyia kazi chakula chenye kuharibika, bali mkifanyie kazi chakula kidumucho hata milele kile ambacho mwana wa Adamu atawapa, kwa kuwa Mungu Baba ameweka muhuri juu yake.” (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 Kisha wakamwambia, “Ni nini tunapaswa kufanya ili kuzifanya kazi za Mungu?”
They said therefore unto him: What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?
29 Yesu akajibu, “Hii ndiyo kazi ya Mungu: kwamba mmwamini yeye aliyemtuma.”
Jesus answered, and said to them: This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he hath sent.
30 Basi wakamwambia, “Ni ishara zipi utakazofanya, kwamba tunaweza kuziona na kukuamini? Utafanya nini?
They said therefore to him: What sign therefore dost thou shew, that we may see, and may believe thee? What dost thou work?
31 Baba zetu walikula manna jangwani, kama ilivyo andikwa, “Aliwapa mikate kutoka mbinguni ili wale.”
Our fathers did eat manna in the desert, as it is written: He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
32 Kisha Yesu akawajibu, “Amini, amini, sio Musa aliyewapa mkate kutoka mbinguni, bali Baba yangu ndiye awapaye mkate wa kweli kutoka mbinguni.
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 Kwa kuwa mkate wa Mungu ni ule ushukao kutoka mbinguni na kuupatia uzima ulimwengu.
For the bread of God is that which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life to the world.
34 Basi wakamwambia, “Bwana tupatie huu mkate wakati wote.”
They said therefore unto him: Lord, give us always this bread.
35 Yesu akawambia, “Mimi ndiye mkate wa uzima, yeye ajaye kwangu hatapata njaa na yeye aniaminiye hatahisi kiu kamwe.”
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 Ingawa niliwaambia kwamba, mmeniona, na bado hamuamini.
But I said unto you, that you also have seen me, and you believe not.
37 Wote ambao Baba anaonipa watakuja kwangu, na yeyote ajaye kwangu sitamtupa nje kabisa.
All that the Father giveth to me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me, I will not cast out.
38 Kwa kuwa nimeshuka kutoka mbinguni, sio kwa ajili ya kufanya mapenzi yangu, bali mapenzi yake aliyenituma.
Because I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me.
39 Na haya ndiyo mapenzi yake aliyenituma, kwamba nisimpoteze hata mmoja wa wale alionipa, bali nitawafufua siku ya mwisho.
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 Kwa kuwa haya ndiyo mapenzi ya Baba yangu, kwamba yeyote amtazamaye Mwana na kumwamini apate uzima wa milele; nami nitamfufua siku ya mwisho. (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 Kisha wayahudi wakamnung`unikia kumhusu yeye kwa sababu alisema, “Mimi ni mkate ulioshuka kutoka mbinguni.”
The Jews therefore murmured at him, because he had said: I am the living bread which came down from heaven.
42 Wakasema, “Huyu siyo Yesu mwana wa Yusuph, ambaye baba yake na mama yake tunamfahamu? Imekuwaje sasa anasema, 'Nimeshuka kutoka mbinguni`?”
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 Yesu akajibu, akawambia, “Msinung'unikiane miongoni mwenu wenyewe.
Jesus therefore answered, and said to them: Murmur not among yourselves.
44 Hakuna mtu ajaye kwangu asipovutwa na Baba yangu aliyenituma, nami nitamfufua siku ya mwisho.
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 Kwa kuwa imeandikwa katika manabii, 'Watafundishwa na Mungu.' Kila aliyesikia na amejifunza kutoka kwa Baba, huja kwangu.
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 Sio kwamba kuna mtu aliyemwona Baba, isipokuwa yeye atokaye kwa Mungu- amemwona Baba.
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 Mimi ni mkate wa uzima.
I am the bread of life.
49 mababa zenu walikula manna jangwani, na wakafa.
Your fathers did eat manna in the desert, and are dead.
50 Huu ndio mkate ushukao kutoka mbinguni, ili kwamba mtu aule sehemu yake ili asife.
This is the bread which cometh down from heaven; that if any man eat of it, he may not die.
51 Mimi ni mkate uishio ambao umeshuka kutoka mbinguni. Kama mtu yeyote akila sehemu ya mkate huu, ataishi milele. Mkate nitakao utoa ni mwili wangu kwa ajili ya uzima wa ulimwengu.” (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 Wayahudi wakakasirika wenyewe kwa wenyewe na wakaanza kubishana wakisema, “Mtu huyu anawezaje kutupa mwili wake tuule?”
The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying: How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
53 Kisha Yesu akawambia, “Amini, amini, msipoula mwili wa Mwana wa Adamu na kuinywa damu yake, hamta kuwa na uzima ndani yenu.
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 Yeyote aulaye mwili wangu na kuinywa damu yangu anao uzima wa milele, nami nitamfufua siku ya mwisho. (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 Kwa kuwa mwili wangu ni chakula cha kweli, na damu yangu ni kinywaji cha kweli.
For my flesh is meat indeed: and my blood is drink indeed.
56 Yeye aulaye mwili wangu na kuinywa damu yangu hukaa ndani yangu, nami ndani yake.
He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, abideth in me, and I in him.
57 Kama Baba mwenye uzima alivyonituma, na kama niishivyo kwa sababu ya Baba, na yeye pia ataishi kwa sababu yangu.
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 Huu ndio mkate ushukao kutoka mbinguni, sio kama vile mababa walivyo kula wakafa. Yeye aulaye mkate huu ataishi milele. (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 Yesu aliyasema mambo haya ndani ya sinagogi alipokuwa akifundisha huko Kapernaumu.
These things he said, teaching in the synagogue, in Capharnaum.
60 Ndipo wengi wa wanafunzi wake waliposikia haya, wakasema, “Hili nifundisho gumu ni nani awezaye kulipokea?”
Many therefore of his disciples, hearing it, said: This saying is hard, and who can hear it?
61 Yesu kwa sababu alijua ya kuwa wanafunzi wake walikuwa wakilinung'unikia jambo hili, akawambia je jambo hili linawakwaza?
But Jesus, knowing in himself, that his disciples murmured at this, said to them: Doth this scandalize you?
62 Basi itakuaje mtakapomwona mwana wa Adamu akishuka kutoka alikokuwa kabla?
If then you shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
63 Ni Roho ndiye atoaye uzima. Mwili haufaidii kitu chochote. Maneno niliyoyasema kwenu ni roho na ni uzima.
It is the spirit that quickeneth: the flesh profiteth nothing. The words that I have spoken to you, are spirit and life.
64 Bado kuna watu kati yenu wasioamini.” kwa sababu Yesu alijua tangu mwanzo yule ambaye asiyeweza kuamini na yeye ambaye angemsaliti.
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 Akawambia, ni kwa sababu hii niliwambia kwamba hakuna mtu awezaye kuja kwangu isipokuwa amepewa na Baba.”
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 Baada ya haya wanafunzi wake wengi walirudi nyuma na hawakuambatana naye tena.
After this many of his disciples went back; and walked no more with him.
67 Yesu akawambia wale kumi na wawili, “Je na ninyi mnataka kuondoka?”
Then Jesus said to the twelve: Will you also go away?
68 Simoni Petro akamjibu, “Bwana twende kwa nani kwani wewe unayo maneno ya uzima wa milele, (aiōnios g166)
And Simon Peter answered him: Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
69 na tumeamini na kujua kuwa wewe ni Mtakatifu wa Mungu.”
And we have believed and have known, that thou art the Christ, the Son of God.
70 Yesu akawambia, “Je mimi sikuwachagua ninyi, na mmoja wenu ni ibilisi?
Jesus answered them: Have not I chosen you twelve; and one of you is a devil?
71 Sasa alikuwa akiongea kuhusu Yuda, mwana wa Simoni Iskariote, kwa kuwa alikuwa ni yeye akiwa mmoja wa wale kumi na wawili, ambaye ndiye angemsaliti Yesu.
Now he meant Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon: for this same was about to betray him, whereas he was one of the twelve.
