Yohana 6
1 Baada ya hayo, Yesu alivuka ziwa Galilaya (au Ziwa Tiberia).
After these things, Jesus went to the other side of the sea of Galilee or of Tiberias.
2 Umati mkubwa wa watu ulimfuata kwa sababu watu hao walikuwa wameona ishara alizokuwa akifanya kwa kuwaponya wagonjwa.
And great multitudes went after him; because they had seen the signs which he wrought upon the sick.
3 Yesu alipanda mlimani, akaketi pamoja na wanafunzi wake.
And Jesus ascended a mountain, and there he seated himself with his disciples.
4 Sikukuu ya Wayahudi iitwayo Pasaka ilikuwa imekaribia.
And the feast of the Jewish passover was near.
5 Basi, Yesu na alipotazama na kuona umati wa watu ukija kwake, alimwambia Filipo, “Tununue wapi mikate ili watu hawa wapate kula?”
And Jesus raised his eyes, and saw a great multitude coming towards him; and he said to Philip: Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?
6 (Alisema hivyo kwa kumjaribu Filipo, kwani alijua mwenyewe atakalofanya.)
And this he said, to try him; for he knew what he was about to do.
7 Filipo akamjibu, “Mikate ya denari mia mbili za fedha haiwatoshi watu hawa hata kama ila mmoja atapata kipande kidogo tu!”
Philip said to him: Two hundred denarii in bread would not suffice them, that each might take but a little.
8 Mmoja wa wanafunzi wake aitwaye Andrea, nduguye Simoni Petro, akamwambia,
One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Cephas, said to him:
9 “Yupo hapa mtoto mmoja aliye na mikate mitano ya shayiri na samaki wawili; lakini hivi vyatosha nini kwa watu wengi kama hawa?”
There is a lad here, who hath with him five cakes of barley, and two fishes; but what are these for all those people?
10 Yesu akasema, “Waketisheni watu.” Palikuwa na nyasi tele mahali hapo. Basi, watu wakaketi, jumla yapata wanaume elfu tano.
Jesus said to them: Make all the people recline. Now there was much grass in that place: and the people reclined, in number five thousand.
11 Yesu akaitwaa ile mikate, akamshukuru Mungu, akawagawia watu waliokuwa wameketi; akafanya vivyo hivyo na wale samaki, kila mtu akapata kadiri alivyotaka.
And Jesus took the bread, and blessed, and distributed to them that reclined. And so also, with the fish; as much as they desired.
12 Watu waliposhiba Yesu akawaambia wanafunzi wake, “Kusanyeni vipande vilivyobaki visipotee.”
And when they were satisfied, he said to his disciples: Gather up the fragments which remain, that nothing be lost.
13 Basi, wakakusanya vipande vya mikate ya shayiri walivyobakiza wale watu waliokula, wakajaza vikapu kumi na viwili.
And they collected and filled twelve baskets, with fragments of what remained to them that had eaten of the five barley cakes.
14 Watu walipoiona ishara hiyo aliyoifanya Yesu, wakasema, “Hakika huyu ndiye nabii anayekuja ulimwenguni.”
And those people, when they saw the sign which Jesus had wrought, said: Certainly, this is that prophet who was to come into the world.
15 Yesu akajua ya kuwa watu walitaka kumchukua wamfanye mfalme, akaondoka tena, akaenda mlimani peke yake.
And Jesus knew, that they were about to come and take him by force, and make him king: and he retired into a mountain alone.
16 Ilipokuwa jioni wanafunzi wake waliteremka hadi ziwani,
And when it was evening, his disciples went down to the sea,
17 wakapanda mashua ili wavuke kwenda Kafarnaumu. Giza lilikuwa limeingia, na Yesu alikuwa hajawafikia bado.
and sat in a ship, and were going over to Capernaum. And darkness came on, and Jesus had not come to them.
18 Ziwa likaanza kuchafuka kwa sababu upepo mkali ulikuwa unavuma.
And the sea was boisterous against them, for a violent wind was blowing.
19 Wanafunzi walipokuwa wamekwenda umbali wa kilomita tano au sita, walimwona Yesu akitembea juu ya maji, anakaribia mashua; wakaogopa sana.
And they had gone about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, when they saw Jesus walking upon the sea: and as he drew near to the ship, they were afraid.
20 Yesu akawaambia, “Ni mimi, msiogope!”
But Jesus said to them: It is I; be not afraid.
21 Walifurahi kumchukua Yesu katika mashua; na mara mashua ikawasili nchi kavu walipokuwa wanakwenda.
And they were glad to receive him into the ship. And, directly, the ship was at the land to which they were going.
22 Kesho yake umati wa watu wale waliobaki upande wa pili wa ziwa walitambua kwamba kulikuwa na mashua moja tu pale, na Yesu hakuingia katika mashua pamoja na wanafunzi wake, ila wanafunzi hao walikuwa wamekwenda zao peke yao.
And the next day, the multitude, who had remained on the other side of the sea, saw that there was no other ship there, except that in which the disciples embarked, and that Jesus did not embark in that ship with his disciples;
23 Mashua nyingine kutoka Tiberia zilifika mahali hapo watu walipokula ile mikate, Bwana alipokwisha mshukuru Mungu.
yet that other ships had come from Tiberias, near to the place where they ate the bread when Jesus blessed it.
24 Basi, hao watu walipogundua kwamba Yesu na wanafunzi wake hawakuwapo mahali hapo, walipanda mashua, wakaenda Kafarnaumu wakimtafuta.
And when the multitude saw, that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples; they embarked in ships, and came to Capernaum, and sought for Jesus.
25 Wale watu walipomkuta Yesu ng'ambo ya pili wa ziwa walimwuliza, “Mwalimu, ulifika lini hapa?”
And when they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him: Our Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
26 Yesu akawajibu, “Kweli nawaambieni, mnanitafuta si kwa kuwa mmeona ishara, bali kwa sababu mlikula ile mikate mkashiba.
Jesus replied and said to them: Verily, verily, I say to you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the signs, but because ye ate the bread and were satisfied.
27 Msikishughulikie chakula kiharibikacho; kishugulikieni chakula kidumucho kwa ajili ya uzima wa milele. Mwana wa Mtu ambaye Baba amemthibitisha atawapeni chakula hicho.” (aiōnios g166)
Labor not for the food that perisheth, but for the food that abideth unto life eternal, which the Son of man will give to you; for him hath God the Father sealed. (aiōnios g166)
28 Wao wakamwuliza, “Tufanye nini ili tuweze kuzitenda kazi za Mungu?”
They said to him: What shall we do, in order to work the works of God?
29 Yesu akawajibu, “Hii ndiyo kazi anayotaka Mungu muifanye: kumwamini yule aliyemtuma.”
Jesus replied and said to them: This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
30 Hapo wakamwambia, “Utafanya ishara gani ili tuione tupate kukuamini? Utafanya kitu gani?
They say to him: What sign doest thou, that we may see and believe in thee? What workest thou?
31 Wazee wetu walikula mana kule jangwani, kama yasemavyo Maandiko: Aliwalisha mkate kutoka mbinguni.”
Our fathers ate the manna, in the wilderness; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
32 Yesu akawaambia, “Kweli nawaambieni, Mose hakuwapeni mkate kutoka mbinguni; Baba yangu ndiye awapaye ninyi mkate halisi kutoka mbinguni.
Jesus said to them: Verily, verily, I say to you, Moses gave you not the bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the real bread from heaven.
33 Maana mkate wa Mungu ni yule ashukaye kutoka mbinguni na aupaye ulimwengu uzima.”
For the bread of God is, he that came down from heaven, and giveth life to the world.
34 Basi, wakamwambia, “Mheshimiwa, tupe daima mkate huo.”
They say to him: Our Lord, give us at all times this bread.
35 Yesu akawaambia, “Mimi ndimi mkate wa uzima. Anayekuja kwangu hataona njaa; anayeniamini hataona kiu kamwe.
Jesus said to them: I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me, shall not hunger; and he that believeth on me, shall not thirst, for ever.
36 Lakini niliwaambieni kwamba ingawa mmeniona hamniamini.
But I said to you, That ye have seen me, and do not believe.
37 Wote anaonipa Baba watakuja kwangu; nami sitamtupa nje yeyote anayekuja kwangu,
All that my Father gave me, will come to me: and him, that cometh to me, I will not cast out.
38 kwani nimeshuka kutoka mbinguni si kwa ajili ya kufanya matakwa yangu, ila kutimiza matakwa ya yule aliyenituma.
For I came down from heaven, not to do my own pleasure, but the pleasure of him that sent me.
39 Na matakwa ya yule aliyenituma ndiyo haya: nisimpoteze hata mmoja kati ya wale alionipa, ila niwafufue wote Siku ya mwisho.
And this is the pleasure of him that sent me, that whatever he hath given me, I should lose nothing of it, but should raise it up at the last day.
40 Maana anachotaka Baba yangu ndicho hiki: kila amwonaye Mwana na kumwamini awe na uzima wa milele; nami nitamfufua Siku ya mwisho.” (aiōnios g166)
For this is the pleasure of my Father, that every one who seeth the Son, and believeth on him, should have life eternal; and I will raise him up at the last day. (aiōnios g166)
41 Basi, Wayahudi wakaanza kunung'unika kwa kuwa alisema: “Mimi ni mkate ulioshuka kutoka mbinguni.”
Then the Jews murmured at him, because he said: I am the bread, who have descended from heaven.
42 Wakasema, “Je, huyu si mwana wa Yosefu? Tunawajua baba yake na mama yake! Basi, anawezaje kusema kwamba ameshuka kutoka mbinguni?”
And they said: Is not this Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? And how doth he say: I came down from heaven?
43 Yesu akawaambia, “Acheni kunung'unika ninyi kwa ninyi.
Jesus replied and said to them: Murmur not, one with another.
44 Hakuna mtu awezaye kuja kwangu, Baba aliyenituma asipomvuta kwangu; nami nitamfufua mtu huyo Siku ya mwisho.
No man can come to me, unless the Father who sent me, shall draw him; and I will raise him up at the last day.
45 Manabii wameandika: Watu wote watafundishwa na Mungu. Kila mtu anayemsikia Baba na kujifunza kutoka kwake, huja kwangu.
For it is written, in the prophet: And they shall all be taught of God. Whoever, therefore, heareth from the Father, and learneth from him, cometh to me.
46 Hii haina maana kwamba yupo mtu aliyemwona Baba, isipokuwa yule aliyetoka kwa Mungu; huyo ndiye aliyemwona Baba.
Not that any one hath seen the Father, except him who hath come from God; he it is, hath seen the Father.
Verily, verily, I say to you: That, to him who believeth in me, there is life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
48 Mimi ni mkate wa uzima.
I am the bread of life.
49 Wazee wenu walikula mana kule jangwani, lakini walikufa.
Your fathers ate the manna, in the wilderness, and they died.
50 Huu ndio mkate kutoka mbinguni; mkate ambao anayekula hatakufa.
But this is the bread which cometh from heaven, that a man may eat of it, and not die.
51 Mimi ni mkate hai ulioshuka kutoka mbinguni. Mtu yeyote akila mkate huu ataishi milele. Na mkate nitakaompa ni mwili wangu ninaoutoa kwa ajili ya uzima wa ulimwengu.” (aiōn g165)
I am the bread of life, who have come down from heaven: and if a man shall eat of this bread, he will live for ever. And the bread which I shall give, is my body, which I give for the life of the world. (aiōn g165)
52 Ndipo Wayahudi wakaanza kubishana kati yao:
Then the Jews contended one with another, and said: How can he give us his body to eat?
53 Yesu akawaambia, “Kweli nawaambieni, msipokula mwili wa Mwana wa Mtu na kunywa damu yake, hamtakuwa na uzima ndani yenu.
And Jesus said to them: Verily, verily, I say to you, That, unless ye eat the body of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life within you.
54 Anayekula mwili wangu na kunywa damu yangu anao uzima wa milele nami nitamfufua siku ya mwisho. (aiōnios g166)
But he that eateth of my body, and drinketh of my blood, to him is life eternal; and I will raise him up at the last day (aiōnios g166)
55 Maana mwili wangu ni chakula cha kweli, na damu yangu ni kinywaji cha kweli.
For my body truly is food, and my blood truly is drink.
56 Aulaye mwili wangu na kunywa damu yangu, akaa ndani yangu, nami nakaa ndani yake.
He that eateth my body, and drinketh my blood, abideth in me, and I in him
57 Baba aliye hai alinituma, nami naishi kwa sababu yake; vivyo hivyo anilaye mimi ataishi pia kwa sababu yangu.
As the living Father hath sent me, and I live because of the Father; so he that shall eat me, he also will live because of me.
58 Basi, huu ndio mkate ulioshuka kutoka mbinguni; si kama mana waliyokula babu zetu, wakafa. Aulaye mkate huu ataishi milele.” (aiōn g165)
This is the bread that came down from heaven: not as your fathers ate the manna, and died; whoever shall eat of this bead, will live for ever. (aiōn g165)
59 Yesu alisema hayo alipokuwa akifundisha katika sunagogi kule Kafarnaumu.
These things he uttered in the synagogue, while teaching at Capernaum.
60 Basi, wengi wa wafuasi wake waliposikia hayo, wakasema, “Haya ni mambo magumu! Nani awezaye kuyasikiliza?”
And many of his disciples who heard him, said: This is a hard speech, who can hear it.
61 Yesu alijua bila kuambiwa na mtu kwamba wanafunzi wake walikuwa wananung'unika juu ya jambo hilo, akawauliza, “Je, jambo hili linawafanya muwe na mashaka?
And Jesus knew in himself, that his disciples murmured at this; and he said to them, Doth this stumble you?
62 Itakuwaje basi, mtakapomwona Mwana wa Mtu akipanda kwenda kule alikokuwa kwanza?
If then, ye were to see the Son of man ascend, to where he was from the beginning!
63 Roho ndiye atiaye uzima; binadamu peke yake hawezi. Maneno niliyowaambieni ni Roho, ni uzima.
It is the Spirit that vivifieth; the body profiteth nothing. The words which I have used with you, they are spirit, and they are life.
64 Hata hivyo, wako baadhi yenu wasioamini.” (Yesu alisema hivyo kwani alijua tangu mwanzo ni kina nani wasioamini, na pia ni nani atakayemsaliti.)
But there are some of you, that believe not. For Jesus knew, from the beginning, who they were that believed not, and who it was that would betray him.
65 Kisha akasema, “Ndiyo maana niliwaambieni kwamba hakuna awezaye kuja kwangu asipowezeshwa na Baba yangu.”
And he said to them: For this reason, I said to you, That no one can come to me, unless it be given to him by my Father.
66 Kutokana na hayo, wengi wa wafuasi wake walirudi nyuma wasiandamane naye tena.
On account of this speech, many of his disciples turned back, and walked not with him.
67 Basi, Yesu akawauliza wale kumi na wawili, “Je, nanyi pia mwataka kwenda zenu?”
And Jesus said to the twelve: Are ye also disposed to go away?
68 Simoni Petro akamjibu, “Bwana, tutakwenda kwa nani? Wewe unayo maneno yaletayo uzima wa milele. (aiōnios g166)
Simon Cephas replied, and said: My Lord, to whom shall we go? The words of life eternal are with thee. (aiōnios g166)
69 Sisi tunaamini, na tunajua kwamba wewe ndiwe yule Mtakatifu wa Mungu.”
And we believe, and know, that thou art the Messiah, the Son of the living God.
70 Yesu akawaambia, “Je, sikuwachagua ninyi kumi na wawili? Hata hivyo, mmoja wenu ni Ibilisi!”
Jesus said to them: Have not I chosen you twelve? Yet one of you is a devil.
71 Yesu alisema hayo juu ya Yuda, mwana wa Simoni Iskarioti; maana huyu alikuwa ndiye atakayemsaliti, ingawa alikuwa mmoja wa wale kumi na wawili.
This he spoke of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon; for he was afterwards to betray him, being one of the twelve.
