Johannes 6
1 Derefter for Jesus öfver det Galileiska hafvet, som är vid den staden Tiberias.
Some time later, when Jesus was in Galilee district, near the time of the Jewish Passover celebration, Jesus went [with us disciples by boat] and crossed to another place along Galilee Lake. This lake is [also called] Tiberias Lake.
2 Och mycket folk följde honom, derföre att de sågo hans tecken, som han gjorde med dem som sjuke voro.
A large crowd of people kept following Jesus [on land] because they had been seeing the miracles he performed [by healing] sick people.
3 Och gick Jesus på ett berg, och satte sig der med sina Lärjungar.
Jesus went up on the hillside and sat down with [us] disciples [to teach us].
4 Och då tillstundade Påska, Judarnas högtid.
Then he looked up and saw a great crowd of people coming toward him.
5 Då lyfte Jesus upp sin ögon, och såg att mycket folk kom till honom, och sade till Philippum: Hvar få vi köpa bröd, att desse må äta?
He said to Philip, “Where will we buy food for all these people to eat?”
6 Det sade han till att försöka honom; ty han visste väl hvad han ville göra.
He asked this only to find out if Philip believed what [Jesus could do], because Jesus already knew what he himself was going to do.
7 Svarade honom Philippus: För tuhundrade penningar bröd vore dem icke nog, till att hvar finge ett litet stycke.
Philip replied to him, “[Even if we had] the amount of money a man earns in eight months, that would not be enough to buy bread so that each person could have a little bit!”
8 Då sade till honom en af hans Lärjungar, Andreas, Simon Petri broder:
Another one of [us] disciples, Andrew, who was Simon Peter’s [younger] brother, said to Jesus,
9 Här är en pilt, som hafver fem bjuggbröd, och två fiskar; men hvad förslår det ibland så många?
“There is a boy here who has five small barley loaves and two [cooked] fish. But (they will not help much among so many people!/what good will that do among so many people?) [RHQ]”
10 Sade Jesus: Låter folket satta sig. Och på det rummet var mycket gräs. Då satte sig ned vid femtusend män.
Jesus said, “Tell the people to sit down!” There was plenty of grass there, so they all sat down [comfortably]. There were about 5,000 men [among the crowd].
11 Och Jesus tog bröden, tackade, och fick Lärjungomen, och Lärjungarna skifte ibland dem som såto; sammaledes ock af fiskarna, så mycket han ville.
Then Jesus took the small loaves and the fish and thanked [God] for them. Then he [gave them to us, and we] distributed the small loaves and the fish to all the people sitting on the ground. [Because God caused the food to keep increasing], everyone ate as much as they wanted.
12 Då de voro mätte, sade han till sina Lärjungar: Hemter tillhopa stycker, som öfverblifne äro, att de icke förfaras.
When everyone had all the food they wanted, he said to [us] disciples, “Gather up the pieces that are left over. Do not let anything be wasted!”
13 Så hemte de tillhopa, och uppfyllde tolf korgar med styckom, som öfver voro af fem bjuggbröd, efter dem som ätit hade.
So we gathered up the pieces of the small loaves that were left over by those who had eaten. We filled twelve baskets with those pieces!
14 När nu de menniskorna sågo, att Jesus hade gjort tecknet, sade de: Visserliga är denne den Propheten, som komma skall i verldena.
After the people saw that miracle that Jesus had performed, [many of] them started to say, “Surely this is the prophet [like Moses] that [God promised] to send to the world!”
15 När då Jesus förnam, att de ville komma och taga honom, och göra honom till Konung, gick han åter afsides bort uppå berget, han sjelf allena.
So, because Jesus realized that they were about to come and seize him to make him [their] king, he left them again and went up into the hills by himself.
16 Och när aftonen kom, gingo hans Lärjungar ned till hafvet;
When it was evening, [we] disciples went down to [Galilee] Lake.
17 Och stego till skepps, och foro öfver hafvet till Capernaum; och det var redo mörkt vordet, och Jesus var icke till dem kommen.
When it became dark and Jesus had still not joined us, [we] got into a boat and went across the lake towards Capernaum [city].
18 Då blåste ett stort vader, och vågen begynte gå.
A strong wind started to blow and caused the water (to become very rough/to have high waves).
19 När de nu rott hade vid fem och tjugu eller tretio stadier, fingo de se Jesum gå på hafvet, och nalkas skeppet; och de vordo förfärade.
After we had rowed (three or four miles/five or six kilometers), we saw Jesus coming near the boat; he was walking on the water! So we were terrified!
20 Då sade han till dem: Det är jag, rädens icke.
But he said to us, “Do not be afraid! It is I!”
21 Och de ville hafva tagit honom in i skeppet; och i det samma var skeppet vid landet, som de foro till.
We were glad to take him into the boat. As soon as [we] did that, the boat reached the shore where [we] were going!
22 Dagen derefter, när folket, som stod på hinsidon hafvet, såg att der var intet annat skepp än det ena, som hans Lärjungar voro uti stegne; och att Jesus var icke instigen med sina Lärjungar i skeppet, utan hans Lärjungar voro bortfarne allena;
The next day the crowd of people that had stayed on the other side of the lake [were perplexed about how Jesus had left that area]. They knew that there had been only one boat there [the previous day]. They knew that we had gone away in it by ourselves. They knew that Jesus had not gone with us.
23 Men annor skepp kommo af Tiberias, hardt till det rummet, der de hade ätit brödet, genom Herrans tacksägelse;
Then some [men came] from Tiberias [city] in boats. [They were hoping to take some of the crowd back to Tiberias]. They arrived near the place where the people had eaten the food after Jesus had given thanks [and caused it to multiply].
24 När då folket såg, att Jesus var icke der, ej heller hans Lärjungar, stego de ock i skeppen, och kommo till Capernaum, och sökte Jesum.
When the crowd realized that neither Jesus nor we disciples were there, [some of] them got into those boats and they sailed to Capernaum to find Jesus.
25 Och då de funno honom på hinsidon hafvet, sade de till honom: Rabbi, när komst du hit?
When they found him [in Capernaum] further around the lake, they asked him, “Teacher, [since you(sg) did not come in a boat], when [and how] did you get here?”
26 Svarade Jesus dem, och sade: Sannerliga, sannerliga säger jag eder: I söken mig icke fördenskull, att I hafven sett tecken; utan fördenskull, att I hafven ätit af brödet, och ären vordne mätte.
Jesus replied to them, “Listen to this carefully: Do you know why you are looking for me? It is not because you saw [me perform] miracles [and as a result have realized who I really am]. No! You are looking for me [only] because you had plenty of bread to eat [after I provided it for you by performing a miracle].
27 Verker icke den mat, som förgås, utan den som blifver till evinnerligit lif, den menniskones Son eder gifva skall; ty honom hafver Gud Fader beseglat. (aiōnios g166)
Stop desiring food that will soon spoil! Instead, desire to get [spiritual] food that will last forever! Yearn for eternal life! That is what I, the one who came from heaven, will give you. God [my] Father has shown that he approves of me [enabling me to do that].” (aiōnios g166)
28 Då sade de till honom: Hvad skole vi göra, att vi verka kunne Guds verk?
Then the people asked him, “What things should we do [to please] God?”
29 Svarade Jesus, och sade till dem: Det är Guds verk, att I tron på den han sändt hafver.
Jesus replied, “What God [wants you] to do is this: He wants you to believe that [I am] the one he has sent.”
30 Då sade de till honom: Hvad tecken gör du då, att vi se kunne, och tro dig? Hvad verkar du?
So they said to him, “Then perform [another] miracle so that we may see it and believe that [you came from God]. What miracle would you like to perform?
31 Våre fader åto Manna i öknene, som skrifvet är: Han gaf dem bröd af himmelen till att äta.
Our ancestors ate the [food called] manna [that God provided for them by a miracle] in the desolate area. This is written {[The Psalmist] wrote this} [in the Scriptures] about [what Moses caused to happen: ] ‘He gave them food from heaven to eat.’ [Will you perform a miracle like that]?”
32 Då sade Jesus till dem: Sannerliga, sannerliga säger jag eder: Icke gaf Mose eder det brödet af himmelen; men min Fader gifver eder det rätta brödet af himmelen.
So Jesus said to them, “The truth is that it was not Moses who gave your [ancestors] that food from heaven. No, it was my Father [who gave it to them. And my Father is the one] who gives you the true food from heaven.
33 Ty det är Guds bröd, som nederkommer af himmelen, och gifver verldene lif.
The true bread from God came down from heaven, and he is the one who will give [eternal] life to [the people of] the world [MTY].”
34 Då sade de till honom: Herre, gif oss alltid detta brödet.
[Not understanding what he meant], they said to him, “Sir, give us that kind of bread all the time!”
35 Sade Jesus till dem: Jag är lifsens bröd; hvilken som kommer till mig, han skall icke hungra; och hvilken som tror på mig, han skall aldrig törsta.
Jesus said to them, “[Just like] food [MET] [sustains physical life], I am the [one who enables you to have spiritual] life. Those who [eat ordinary food and drinks will later be hungry and thirsty]. But those who come to me [to receive that life] will never again [lack anything spiritually].
36 Men jag hafver sagt eder, att I hafven ock sett mig; och tron dock icke.
I told you before that you have seen my [miracles, but after seeing them, instead of understanding who I am], you have not believed in me.
37 Allt det min Fader gifver mig, det kommer till mig; och den till mig kommer, honom kastar jag icke ut.
All the people that [my] Father entrusts to me will come to me, and I will certainly (welcome/never send away) [LIT] anyone who comes to me.
38 Ty jag är nederkommen af himmelen, icke att jag skall göra min vilja, utan hans vilja, som mig sändt hafver.
When I came down from heaven, it was not to do what I want. Instead, I came to do what ([God/my Father]), who sent me, wants.
39 Och det är mins Faders vilje, som mig sändt hafver, att jag intet borttappa skall af allt det han mig gifvit hafver; utan att jag skall uppväcka det på yttersta dagen.
What the one who sent me wants is that I (keep forever all/never lose any) [LIT] of those whom he has entrusted to me. He wants me to cause all of them to become alive again (on the last day/on the day [when I judge everyone]) [MTY].
40 Detta är nu hans vilje, som mig sändt hafver, att hvar och en, som ser Sonen, och tror på honom, han skall hafva evinnerligit lif; och jag skall uppväcka honom på yttersta dagen. (aiōnios g166)
[Long ago in the desolate area when those who were bitten by snakes looked at the bronze replica of a snake, they were healed] [MET]. What my Father wants is that [similarly] everyone who looks at [what] I [have done] and believes in me will have eternal life. I will cause them to become alive again (on the last day/on the day [when I judge everyone]) [MTY].” (aiōnios g166)
41 Då knorrade Judarna deröfver, att han sade: Jag är det brödet, som nederkommet är af himmelen;
The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] began to grumble about him because he said, “I am the one who is [like] true bread who came down from heaven.”
42 Och sade: Är icke denne Jesus, Josephs son, hvilkens fader och moder vi känne? Huru säger han då: Jag är nederkommen af himmelen?
They said, “(This man is Jesus, the son of Joseph!/Isn’t this man the son of Joseph?) [RHQ] We know [the names of] both his father and his mother. [He certainly did not come from heaven], so (he is [lying] by saying ‘I came from heaven.’/why is he now saying, ‘I came from heaven?’) [RHQ]”
43 Då svarade Jesus, och sade till dem: Knorrer icke emellan eder.
Jesus replied to them, “Stop grumbling among yourselves [about what I just said]!
44 Ingen kan komma till mig, utan Fadren, som mig sändt hafver, drager honom; och jag skall uppväcka honom på yttersta dagen.
[My] Father, who sent me, makes people want to come to me. No others will come to me [to receive eternal life]. Those who come to me are the only ones who will believe in me. I will (cause them to be alive again/raise them [from the dead]) (on the last day/on the [judgment] day).
45 Det är skrifvet i Propheterna: De skola alle varda lärde af Gudi: Hvar och en, som det nu hört hafver af Fadren, och lärt det, han kommer till mig.
It was written ([by one of the prophets/by the prophet Isaiah]) {([One of the prophets/The prophet Isaiah]) wrote} [about all those who will trust in me], ‘God will teach them all.’ Everyone who listens to what [my] Father [says] and learns from him will (come to/believe in) me.
46 Icke så, att någor hafver sett Fadren; utan den, som är af Gudi, han hafver sett Fadren.
I came from God. I am the only one who has seen [my] Father. No one else has seen him.
47 Sannerliga, sannerliga säger jag eder: Hvilken som tror på mig, han hafver evinnerligit lif. (aiōnios g166)
Listen to this carefully: Everyone who believes ([my message/in me]) has eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
48 Jag är lifsens bröd.
[Just like] food [MET] [sustains your physical life], I am the [one who enables you to have spiritual] life.
49 Edre fäder åto Manna i öknene, och äro blefne döde.
Even though your ancestors ate the manna [while they were traveling] in the desolate area, they died [anyway].
50 Detta är det brödet, som nederkommer af himmelen, på det den deraf äter, skall icke dö.
But the bread [I am talking about] is something that came down from heaven. If people eat that bread, their [spirits] will never die.
51 Jag är det lefvandes brödet, som nederkommer af himmelen; hvilken som äter af detta brödet, han skall lefva evinnerliga; och det brödet, som jag gifva skall, är mitt kött, hvilket jag gifva skall för verldenes lif. (aiōn g165)
I am the one who came down from heaven to enable people to have [spiritual] life. If people take what I will give them, they will live forever. What I will give them is my flesh, which I will give to [all the people in] [MTY] the world in order that they may have [spiritual] life.” (aiōn g165)
52 Då kifvade Judarna emellan sig, sägande: Huru kan denne gifva oss sitt kött till att äta?
Then the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] began to argue among themselves. They said, “(There is no way this man can give us his flesh to eat!/How can this man give us his flesh to eat?)” [RHQ]
53 Sade Jesus till dem: Sannerliga, sannerliga säger jag eder: Utan I äten menniskones Sons kött, och dricken hans blod, då hafven I icke lif i eder.
So, [speaking figuratively of the need for them to accept for themselves the benefits of his sacrificing himself and shedding his blood to atone for their sins] [MET], Jesus said to them, “Listen carefully to this: [Although] I am the one who came from heaven, if you do not eat my flesh and drink my blood, you will not have eternal life.
54 Hvilken som äter mitt kött, och dricker min blod, han hafver evinnerligit lif; och jag skall uppväcka honom på yttersta dagen. (aiōnios g166)
Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will cause them to become alive again at (the last day/the [judgment] day), (aiōnios g166)
55 Ty mitt kött är den rätte maten, och min blod är den rätte drycken.
because my flesh and my blood are truly spiritual food.
56 Hvilken som äter mitt kött, och dricker min blod, han blifver i mig, och jag i honom.
Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood will have a close relationship with me, and I will have a close relationship with them.
57 Såsom lefvandes Fadren hafver mig sändt, och jag lefver för Fadrens skull; så ock den, som äter mig, han skall ock lefva för mina skull.
[My] Father, who is the [source of everything that] lives, sent me, and I live because [my] Father has [given me life]. Similarly those who eat my [flesh] will live [eternally] because of what I [do for them].
58 Detta är det brödet, som af himmelen nederkommet är; icke såsom edre fäder åto Manna, och äro blefne döde; den som äter detta brödet, han skall lefva evinnerliga. (aiōn g165)
[I am] the true bread that came down from heaven. Although our ancestors ate [manna], they [later] died [anyway]. But those who eat this bread will live forever.” (aiōn g165)
59 Detta sade han i Synagogon, då han lärde i Capernaum.
He said this while he was teaching people in (the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place) in Capernaum.
60 Men månge af hans Lärjungar, när de detta hörde, sade: Detta är ett hårdt tal; ho kan det höra?
After they heard him say that, many of his disciples said, “What he is teaching is hard [to understand]; (it is very difficult for anyone to accept it!/how can anyone accept it?) [RHQ]”
61 Så, efter Jesus visste vid sig sjelf, att hans Lärjungar knorrade deröfver, sade han till dem: Förtörnar detta eder?
Jesus was aware that his disciples were grumbling about it, so he said to them, “(I am sorry that this is offending you./Is this offending you?) [RHQ]
62 Huru skall då ske, när I varden seende menniskones Son uppstiga, dit han förra var?
([Perhaps you will believe my message] if you see me, the one who came from heaven, ascending [there] to where I was before!/[(What will you think if you see me], the one who came from heaven, ascending [there] to where I was before)?) [RHQ]
63 Anden är den som gör lifaktig; köttet är intet nyttigt; de ord, jag säger eder, äro ande, och äro lif.
[God’s] Spirit is the one who gives people [eternal] life. Human efforts are no help at all [for giving people eternal life]. The message I have spoken to you [gives spiritual] life (OR, [comes from] God’s Spirit [and gives eternal] life.)
64 Men någre af eder äro, som icke tro; ty Jesus visste väl af begynnelsen, hvilke de voro som icke trodde, och hvilken honom förråda skulle.
But there are some of you who do not believe [my message.” Jesus said that] because he knew from the time he started [MTY] [his ministry] which of them would not believe his message. He also knew who would (betray him/enable his enemies to seize him).
65 Och han sade: Fördenskull sade jag eder, att ingen kan komma till mig, utan det varder honom gifvet af minom Fader.
Then he continued by saying, “That is why I told you that only those whom my Father has enabled [to believe in me] will come to me [and receive eternal life].”
66 Ifrå den tiden gingo månge af hans Lärjungar tillrygga, och vandrade intet länger med honom.
From that [time], many of his disciples left him and no longer went with him.
67 Då sade Jesus till de tolf: Icke viljen I ock gå bort?
So he said to [us] twelve [apostles], “You do not want to leave me also, do you?”
68 Svarade honom Simon Petrus: Herre, till hvem skole vi gå? Du hafver eviga lifsens ord; (aiōnios g166)
Simon Peter replied to him, “Lord, [we] will not [leave you], [because] (there is no other person [like you] to whom we can go!/what other person is there like [you] to whom we can go?) [RHQ] You have the message about eternal life! (aiōnios g166)
69 Och vi tro, och hafve förnummit, att du äst Christus, lefvandes Guds Son.
We have come to believe for certain that you are the holy one [who has come] from God!”
70 Svarade dem Jesus: Hafver jag icke eder tolf utvalt? Och en af eder är en djefvul.
Then Jesus replied to us, “[You are saying that as though all] you twelve [men] whom I have chosen [RHQ] believe that. But one of you is [under the control of] Satan!”
71 Men det sade han om Juda Simons Ischarioth; ty han var den som honom förråda skulle, och var en af de tolf.
He was talking about Judas, the [son] of Simon, from Kerioth [village]. [Even though] Judas was one of us twelve [apostles], he was about (to betray Jesus/to enable Jesus’ enemies to seize him).
