Yohane 6
1 Eyi akyi no, Yesu kɔɔ tɔnn kotwaa Galilea Po, a ɛyɛ Tiberia Po no.
After these things Jesus went away beyond the Sea of Galilee (of Tiberias),
2 Esiane sɛ nkurɔfo huu sɛ Yesu nam anwonwakwan so asa nnipa pii yare no nti, wodii nʼakyi.
and there was following Him a great multitude, because they were seeing His signs that He was doing on the ailing;
3 Yesu ne nʼasuafo no kɔɔ bepɔw bi so kɔtenaa hɔ kakra.
and Jesus went up to the mountain, and He was sitting with His disciples there,
4 Saa bere no na Twam Afahyɛ no abɛn.
and the Passover was near, the celebration of the Jews.
5 Bere a Yesu twaa nʼani, huu sɛ nnipakuw no reba ne nkyɛn no, obisaa Filipo se, “Ɛhe na yebenya aduan ama saa nnipa dodow yi?”
Jesus then having lifted up [His] eyes and having seen that a great multitude comes to Him, says to Philip, “From where will we buy loaves, that these may eat?”
6 Yesu bisaa Filipo saa asɛm yi de sɔɔ no hwɛe, efisɛ na onim nea ɔbɛyɛ.
And this He said, trying him, for He Himself had known what He was about to do.
7 Filipo buae se, “Ansa na yebetumi ama saa nnipa dodow yi aduan no, ɛsɛ sɛ yenya asram awotwe akatua.”
Philip answered Him, “Two hundred denarii worth of loaves are not sufficient to them, that each of them may receive some little”;
8 Andrea a ɔyɛ Simon Petro nua no kae se,
one of His disciples—Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter—says to Him,
9 “Abarimaa bi wɔ ha a ɔwɔ brodo anum ne kyenam abien; na eyi betumi aso nnipa dodow yi di?”
“There is one little boy here who has five barley loaves and two fishes, but these—what are they to so many?”
10 Yesu hyɛɛ nʼasuafo no se, “Momma obiara ntena ase.” Asuafo no ma wɔtenatenaa sare no so. Na mmarima a wɔwɔ wɔn mu no dodow bɛyɛ mpem anum.
And Jesus said, “Make the men to sit down”; and there was much grass in the place, the men then sat down, in number, as it were, five thousand,
11 Yesu faa brodo no bɔɔ mpae na ɔkyɛ maa wɔn. Ɔfaa saa kwan koro no ara so kyɛɛ kyenam no nso maa wɔn.
and Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks He distributed [them] to the disciples, and the disciples to those reclining, in like manner, also of the little fishes as much as they wished.
12 Wodidi mee akyi no, Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mommoaboa aduan a aka no ano na bi ansɛe.”
And when they were filled, He says to His disciples, “Gather together the broken pieces that are left over, that nothing may be lost”;
13 Wɔboaboaa aduan a ɛkae no ano no, ɛyɛɛ nkɛntɛn dumien.
they gathered together, therefore, and filled twelve hand-baskets with broken pieces, from the five barley loaves that were over to those having eaten.
14 Nnipa no huu nsɛnkyerɛnne a Yesu ayɛ no, wɔkae se, “Ampa ara, onipa yi ne odiyifo a yɛrehwɛ no kwan no.”
The men, then, having seen the sign that Jesus did, said, “This is truly the Prophet who is coming into the world”;
15 Yesu huu sɛ nnipa no ayɛ wɔn adwene sɛ wɔbɛkyere no asi no hene no, ɔtwee ne ho fii wɔn mu kɔɔ bepɔw no so bio.
Jesus, therefore, having known that they are about to come, and to seize Him by force that they may make Him king, retired again to the mountain Himself alone.
16 Onwini dwoe no, Yesu asuafo no kɔɔ Galilea mpoano.
And when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea,
17 Wɔtwɛn kosii sɛ ade sae na ɔmma no, wɔkɔtenaa ɔkorow mu se wɔrekɔ Kapernaum.
and having entered into the boat, they were going over the sea to Capernaum, and darkness had already come, and Jesus had not come to them,
18 Saa bere no na ahum retu wɔ po so ama po no ani afono.
the sea also—a great wind blowing—was being raised,
19 Wɔhare kɔɔ wɔn anim bɛyɛ akwansin abiɛsa anaa anan no, wohuu sɛ obi nam po no so reba; eyi maa ehu kaa wɔn kosii sɛ,
having pushed onward, therefore, about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they behold Jesus walking on the sea, and coming near to the boat, and they were afraid;
20 Yesu kae se, “Ɛyɛ me, Munnsuro!”
and He says to them, “I AM; do not be afraid”;
21 Asuafo no pɛɛ sɛ anka wɔde no tena ɔkorow no mu, nanso ntɛm ara ɔkorow no koduu Kapernaum.
they were willing then to receive Him into the boat, and immediately the boat came to the land to which they were going.
22 Ade kyee no, nnipa a na wɔwɔ Galilea po no agya no huu sɛ ɔkorow baako pɛ na na ɛwɔ hɔ, nanso asuafo no tenaa mu kɔe a na Yesu nka wɔn ho.
On the next day, the multitude that was standing on the other side of the sea, having seen that there was no other little boat there except one—that into which His disciples entered—and that Jesus did not go in with His disciples into the little boat, but His disciples went away alone
23 Ankyɛ koraa na akorow afoforo bi fi Tiberia baa faako a Awurade maa nnipakuw no aduan dii no.
(and other little boats came from Tiberias, near the place where they ate the bread, the LORD having given thanks),
24 Bere a nnipa no huu sɛ Yesu ne nʼasuafo no nni hɔ no, wɔtenatenaa akorow no mu sɛ wɔrekɔ Kapernaum akɔhwehwɛ no.
when therefore the multitude saw that Jesus is not there, nor His disciples, they also entered into the boats themselves, and came to Capernaum seeking Jesus;
25 Woduu Kapernaum na wohuu Yesu no, wobisaa no se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, bere bɛn na wobaa ha?”
and having found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, “Rabbi, when have You come here?”
26 Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Mereka nokware akyerɛ mo se, ɛnyɛ sɛ muhuu anwonwade a meyɛe no nti na morehwehwɛ me, na mmom sɛ munyaa aduan di mee no nti.
Jesus answered them and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves, and were satisfied;
27 Monnsɛe mo bere nyinaa mpere nhwehwɛ aduan a etumi sɛe no akyi kwan, na mmom mompere nhwehwɛ aduan a ɛtena hɔ daa a ɛma nkwa a enni awiei a Onipa Ba no de bɛma mo no akyi kwan. Efisɛ eyi nti na mʼAgya somaa me.” (aiōnios g166)
do not work for the food that is perishing, but for the food that is remaining to continuous life, which the Son of Man will give to you, for the Father sealed Him—[even] God.” (aiōnios g166)
28 Nnipa no bisaa no se, “Dɛn na yɛnyɛ na yɛasɔ Onyankopɔn ani?”
Therefore they said to Him, “What may we do that we may work the works of God?”
29 Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Eyi ne nea Onyankopɔn pɛ sɛ moyɛ, munnye nea wasoma no no nni.”
Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you may believe in Him whom He sent.”
30 Nnipa no bisaa no bio se, “Anwonwade bɛn na wobɛyɛ akyerɛ yɛn ama yɛagye wo adi?
Therefore they said to Him, “What sign, then, do You do, that we may see and may believe You? What do You work?
31 Sɛ wopɛ sɛ yegye wo di sɛ wone Agyenkwa no de a, ɛno de ma yɛn aduan nni daa sɛnea Kyerɛwsɛm no di ho adanse sɛ, Mose maa yɛn nenanom ɔsoro aduan dii wɔ sare no so.”
Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, according as it is having been written: He gave them bread out of Heaven to eat.”
32 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mereka nokware akyerɛ mo se, ɛnyɛ Mose na ɔmaa mo nenanom aduan a efi ɔsoro no dii wɔ sare so hɔ no na mmom ɛyɛ mʼAgya. Na afei de, ɔma mo aduan a efi ɔsoro a ɛma nkwa a enni awiei no di daa.
Jesus, therefore, said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread out of Heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread out of Heaven;
33 Saa aduan a efi Onyankopɔn nkyɛn no ne onipa a ofi ɔsoro ba asase so na ɔde nkwa brɛ wiase no.”
for the bread of God is Him coming down out of Heaven, and giving life to the world.”
34 Nnipa no ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Owura, ma yɛn saa aduan no bi nni daa.”
Therefore they said to Him, “Lord, always give us this bread.”
35 Yesu kae se, “Mene brodo a ɛma nkwa no. Obiara a ɔba me nkyɛn na ogye me di no, ɔkɔm anaa osukɔm renne no da.
And Jesus said to them, “I AM the bread of life; he who is coming to Me may not hunger, and he who is believing in Me may not thirst—at any time;
36 Sɛnea maka akyerɛ mo no, moahu me nnwuma, nanso munnye me nni.
but I said to you that you also have seen Me, and you do not believe;
37 Obiara a mʼAgya de no ama me no bɛba me nkyɛn, na obiara a ɔbɛba me nkyɛn nso no, merempam no.
all that the Father gives to Me will come to Me; and him who is coming to Me, I will never cast outside,
38 Na mifi ɔsoro baa asase so sɛ merebɛyɛ nea ɔsomaa me no apɛde, na ɛnyɛ mʼapɛde.
because I have come down out of Heaven, not that I may do My will, but the will of Him who sent Me.
39 Na nea ɔsomaa me no apɛde ne sɛ mɛhwɛ wɔn a ɔde wɔn ama me no nyinaa so yiye na da a edi akyiri no, manyan wɔn ama wɔn nkwa foforo.
And this is the will of the Father who sent Me, that all that He has given to Me, I may lose none of it, but may raise it up in the last day;
40 MʼAgya apɛde ne sɛ obiara a ɔba me nkyɛn na ogye me di no benya nkwa a enni awiei, na da a edi akyiri no manyan no ama no nkwa foforo.” (aiōnios g166)
and this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who is beholding the Son, and is believing in Him, may have continuous life, and I will raise him up in the last day.” (aiōnios g166)
41 Yudafo no tee sɛ Yesu aka se, “Mene aduan a efi ɔsoro” no, wonwiinwii.
The Jews, therefore, were murmuring at Him, because He said, “I AM the bread that came down out of Heaven”;
42 Wɔkɔɔ so kae se, “Ɛnyɛ Yosef ne Maria ba ne saa Yesu yi? Ɛyɛɛ dɛn na otumi ka se ofi ɔsoro na ɔbae?”
and they said, “Is this not Jesus, the Son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have known? How then does this One say, I have come down out of Heaven?”
43 Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Munnyae anwiinwii no.
Jesus answered, therefore, and said to them, “Do not murmur with one another;
44 Mommma ɛnyɛ mo nwonwa sɛ maka saa, na obiara nni hɔ a obetumi aba me nkyɛn, gye sɛ Agya no a ɔsomaa me no twe no ba me ho, na da a edi akyiri no, menyan no.
no one is able to come to Me if the Father who sent Me may not draw him, and I will raise him up in the last day;
45 Adiyifo no akyerɛw se, ‘Onyankopɔn ankasa bɛkyerɛkyerɛ ne mma.’ Ɛno nti, obiara a otie Agya no nkyerɛkyerɛ no ba me nkyɛn.
it is having been written in the Prophets: And they will all be taught of God; everyone, therefore, who heard from the Father, and learned, comes to Me;
46 Asɛm a maka yi nkyerɛ sɛ obi ahu Agya no pɛn, gye onipa a ofi Agya no nkyɛn no.
not that anyone has seen the Father, except He who is from God, He has seen the Father.
Truly, truly, I say to you, he who is believing in Me has continuous life; (aiōnios g166)
48 Mene brodo a ɛma nkwa no.
I AM the bread of life;
49 Mo nenanom dii mana wɔ sare so nso wowuwui,
your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and they died;
50 nanso brodo a efi ɔsoro ba no yɛ brodo a obi di a ɔrenwu da.
this is the bread that is coming down out of Heaven, that anyone may eat of it, and not die.
51 Mene brodo a efi ɔsoro no; sɛ obi di saa brodo yi a ɔbɛtena ase daa. Brodo a mede bɛma obiara a ɔba me nkyɛn no ne me honam a mede ma, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ na wiase benya nkwa.” (aiōn g165)
I AM the living bread that came down out of Heaven; if anyone may eat of this bread he will live—throughout the age; and the bread also that I will give is My flesh, that I will give for the life of the world.” (aiōn g165)
52 Asɛm a Yesu kaa yi maa Yudafo no bo fuwii, ma wobisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho se, “Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na saa onipa yi betumi de ne honam ama yɛn sɛ aduan ama yɛadi?”
The Jews, therefore, were striving with one another, saying, “How is this One able to give us [His] flesh to eat?”
53 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mereka nokwasɛm akyerɛ mo; moanni Onipa Ba no honam sɛ aduan na moannom ne mogya a, morennya nkwa a enni awiei.
Jesus, therefore, said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, if you may not eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and may not drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves;
54 Obiara a odi me honam sɛ aduan na ɔnom me mogya no nya nkwa a enni awiei, na da a edi akyiri no menyan no ama no nkwa foforo. (aiōnios g166)
he who is eating My flesh, and is drinking My blood, has continuous life, and I will raise him up in the last day; (aiōnios g166)
55 Me honam ne aduan pa no, na me mogya nso ne nsu pa no.
for My flesh is truly food, and My blood is truly drink;
56 Obiara a odi me honam sɛ aduan na ɔnom me mogya sɛ nsu no te me mu, na me nso mete ne mu.
he who is eating My flesh, and is drinking My blood, remains in Me, and I in him.
57 Sɛnea Agya teasefo no somaa me na ɔno nti mete ase no, saa ara nso na obiara a odi me honam sɛ aduan no, me nti ɔbɛtena ase.
According as the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, he also who is eating Me, even that one will live because of Me;
58 Eyi ne brodo a efi ɔsoro bae. Ɛnte sɛ mana a yɛn nenanom dii wɔ sare so na wowuwui no. Saa brodo yi de, obiara a obedi bi no bɛtena ase daa.” (aiōn g165)
this is the bread that came down out of Heaven; not as your fathers ate the manna, and died; he who is eating this bread will live—throughout the age.” (aiōn g165)
59 Bere a na Yesu rekyerɛkyerɛ wɔ hyiadan mu wɔ Kapernaum no na ɔkaa saa nsɛm yi.
He said these things in a synagogue, teaching in Capernaum;
60 Yesu akyidifo no mu pii tee asɛm a ɔkae no, wɔkae se, “Saa asɛm yi de, ɛkyerɛ yɛn adwene. Hena na ɔbɛte ase?”
many, therefore, of His disciples having heard, said, “This word is hard; who is able to hear it?”
61 Yesu huu sɛ nʼakyidifo no renwiinwii no, obisaa wɔn se, “Asɛm a mekae yi to mo hintidua ana?
And Jesus having known in Himself that His disciples are murmuring about this, said to them, “Does this stumble you?
62 Ɛno de ɛba sɛ Onipa Ba no resan akɔ ɔsoro, faako a ofi bae no a, dɛn na mobɛyɛ?
If then you may behold the Son of Man going up where He was before?
63 Onyankopɔn honhom na ɛma nkwa. Onipa ntumi mma nkwa. Nsɛm a maka akyerɛ mo yi yɛ honhom na nkwa wɔ mu,
It is the Spirit that is giving life; the flesh does not profit anything; the sayings that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life;
64 nanso mo mu bi nnye nni.” Efi mfiase no na Yesu huu wɔn a wonnye no nni ne wɔn a wɔbɛtwe wɔn ho afi ne ho no.
but there are certain of you who do not believe”; for Jesus had known from the beginning who they are who are not believing, and who is he who will deliver Him up,
65 Ɔkɔɔ so kae se, “Eyi nti na meka kyerɛɛ mo se obi ntumi mma me nkyɛn gye sɛ Agya no ama no ho kwan” no.
and He said, “Because of this I have said to you, No one is able to come to Me if it may not have been given him from My Father.”
66 Esiane saa nsɛm a Yesu kae no nti, nʼakyidifo no mu pii twee wɔn ho fii ne ho na wɔanni nʼakyi bio.
From this [time] many of His disciples went away backward, and were no longer walking with Him,
67 Yesu huu saa no, obisaa asuafo dumien no se, “Mo nso mubegyae mʼakyidi ana?”
Jesus, therefore, said to the Twelve, “Do you also wish to go away?”
68 Simon Petro buaa no se, “Awurade, hena nkyɛn na yɛbɛkɔ? Wo na wowɔ nsɛm a ɛwɔ nkwa a enni awiei. (aiōnios g166)
Simon Peter, therefore, answered Him, “Lord, to whom will we go? You have sayings of continuous life; (aiōnios g166)
69 Na yegye wo nsɛm no di na yenim sɛ wone Onyankopɔn Ba Kronkron no.”
and we have believed, and we have known, that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
70 Yesu kɔɔ so kae sɛ, “Me ara na miyii mo dumien yi, nanso mo mu baako yɛ ɔbonsam.”
Jesus answered them, “Did I not choose you—the Twelve? And of you—one is a devil.”
71 Asɛm a Yesu kae no, na ɛfa Yuda a ɔyɛ Simon Iskariot ba no a ɔyɛ asuafo dumien no mu baako a obeyi Yesu ama no ho.
And He spoke of Judas, [son] of Simon Iscariot, for he was about to deliver Him up, being one of the Twelve.
