Yohane 6
1 Yei akyi, Yesu twaa Galilea Po a wɔsane frɛ no Tiberia Po no.
After these things, Jesus went away across the sea of Galilee, that is, of Tiberias;
2 Esiane sɛ nkurɔfoɔ hunuu sɛ Yesu nam anwanwakwan so asa nnipa pii yadeɛ no enti, wɔdii nʼakyi.
and there was following him a great multitude, because they had been viewing the signs which he did upon such as were sick.
3 Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ no kɔɔ bepɔ bi so kɔtenaa hɔ kakra.
But Jesus had gone up into the mountain, and, there, was sitting with his disciples.
4 Saa ɛberɛ no na Twam Afahyɛ no abɛn.
Now the passover was near, the feast of the Jews.
5 Ɛberɛ a Yesu twaa nʼani, hunuu sɛ nnipakuo no reba ne nkyɛn no, ɔbisaa Filipo sɛ, “Ɛhe na yɛbɛnya aduane ama saa nnipa dodoɔ yi?”
So then Jesus, lifting up his eyes, and beholding that a great multitude was coming unto him, saith unto Philip—Whence are we to buy loaves, that these may eat?
6 Yesu bisaa Filipo saa asɛm yi de sɔɔ no hwɛeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɔnim deɛ ɔbɛyɛ.
But, this, he was saying, to test him; for, he himself, knew, what he was about to do.
7 Filipo buaa sɛ, “Ansa na yɛbɛtumi ama saa nnipa dodoɔ yi aduane no, ɛsɛ sɛ yɛnya abosome nwɔtwe akatua.”
Philip answered him—Two hundred denaries-worth of loaves, are not sufficient for them, that, each one, may take, a little.
8 Andrea a ɔyɛ Simon Petro nua no kaa sɛ,
One from among his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, saith unto him—
9 “Abarimaa bi wɔ ha a ɔwɔ burodo enum ne nkyenam mmienu; na yei bɛtumi aso nnipa dodoɔ yi di?”
There is a little lad here, that hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes, —but, these, —what are they, for such numbers?
10 Yesu hyɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, “Momma obiara ntena ase.” Asuafoɔ no ma wɔtenatenaa ɛserɛ no so. Na mmarima a wɔwɔ wɔn mu no dodoɔ bɛyɛ mpemnum.
Jesus said—Make the people recline. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men reclined, to the number of about five thousand.
11 Yesu faa burodo no bɔɔ mpaeɛ na ɔkyɛ maa wɔn. Ɔfaa saa ɛkwan korɔ no ara so kyɛɛ nkyenam no nso maa wɔn.
Jesus therefore took the loaves, and, giving thanks, went on distributing unto them that reclined; in like manner, of the small fishes also: as much as they were wishing.
12 Wɔdidi meeɛ akyi no, Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ “Mommoaboa aduane a aka no ano na ebi ansɛe.”
And, when they were well-filled, he saith unto his disciples—Gather up the broken pieces left over, that nothing be lost.
13 Wɔboaboaa aduane a ɛkaeɛ no ano no, ɛyɛɛ nkɛntɛmma dumienu.
So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets, with broken pieces out of the five barley loaves, —which were left over by them who had eaten.
14 Nnipa no hunuu nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ a Yesu ayɛ no, wɔkaa sɛ, “Ampa ara, onipa yi ne odiyifoɔ a yɛrehwɛ no ɛkwan no.”
The people, therefore, seeing what signs he wrought, began to say—This, is, of a truth, the prophet who was to come into the world.
15 Yesu hunuu sɛ nnipa no ayɛ wɔn adwene sɛ wɔbɛkyere no asi no ɔhene no, ɔtwee ne ho firii wɔn mu kɔɔ bepɔ no so bio.
Jesus, therefore, getting to know that they were about to come, and seize him, that they might make him king, retired again into the mountain, himself, alone.
16 Onwunu dwoeɛ no, Yesu asuafoɔ no kɔɔ Galilea mpoano.
But, when evening came, his disciples went down unto the sea;
17 Wɔtwɛn kɔsii sɛ adeɛ saeɛ na ɔmma no, wɔkɔtenaa kodoɔ mu sɛ wɔrekɔ Kapernaum.
and, entering into a boat, were going across the sea into Capernaum. And, dark, already, had it become, and, not yet, had Jesus reached them;
18 Saa ɛberɛ no na ahum retu wɔ ɛpo so ama ɛpo no so ayɛ gyabagyaba.
moreover the sea, by reason of a great wind that blew, was rising high.
19 Wɔhare kɔɔ wɔn anim bɛyɛ akwansini mmiɛnsa anaa ɛnan no, wɔhunuu sɛ obi nam ɛpo no so reba; yei maa ehu kaa wɔn kɔsii sɛ,
Having therefore rowed about twenty-five or thirty furlongs, they observe Jesus, walking upon the sea, and, near the boat, coming; and they were affrighted.
20 Yesu kaa sɛ, “Ɛyɛ me, Monnsuro!”
But, he, saith unto them—It is, I: be not affrighted!
21 Asuafoɔ no pɛɛ sɛ anka wɔde no tena kodoɔ no mu, nanso ntɛmpa ara kodoɔ no kɔduruu Kapernaum.
They were willing, therefore, to receive him into the boat; and, straightway, the boat was at land, whither they had been slowly going.
22 Adeɛ kyeeɛ no, nnipa a na wɔwɔ Galilea ɛpo no agya no hunuu sɛ kodoɔ baako pɛ na na ɛwɔ hɔ, nanso asuafoɔ no tenaa mu kɔeɛ a na Yesu nka wɔn ho.
On the morrow, the multitude that was standing on the other side of the sea, saw that there was not, another small-boat, there, save one, —and that Jesus entered not, along with his disciples, unto the boat, but that, alone, his disciples departed: —
23 Ankyɛre koraa na akodoɔ foforɔ bi firi Tiberia baa faako a Awurade maa nnipakuo no aduane diiɛ no.
howbeit there came boats out of Tiberias, near the place where they did eat the bread, after the Lord had given thanks: —
24 Ɛberɛ a nnipa no hunuu sɛ Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ no nni hɔ no, wɔtenatenaa akodoɔ no mu sɛ wɔrekɔ Kapernaum akɔhwehwɛ no.
When, therefore, the multitude saw, that, Jesus, was not there, nor yet his disciples, they themselves, got into the small boats, and came unto Capernaum, seeking Jesus;
25 Wɔduruu Kapernaum na wɔhunuu Yesu no, wɔbisaa no sɛ, “Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ, ɛberɛ bɛn na wobaa ha?”
and, finding him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him—Rabbi! when, camest thou, hither?
26 Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Mereka nokorɛ akyerɛ mo sɛ, ɛnyɛ sɛ mohunuu anwanwadeɛ a meyɛeɛ no enti na morehwehwɛ me, na mmom, sɛ monyaa aduane di meeɛ no enti.
Jesus answered them, and said—Verily, verily, I say unto you: Ye seek me, not because ye saw signs, but because ye did eat of the loaves and were filled.
27 Monnsɛe mo berɛ nyinaa mmpere nhwehwɛ aduane a ɛtumi sɛe no akyiri kwan, na mmom, mompere nhwehwɛ aduane a ɛtena hɔ daa a ɛma nkwa a ɛnni awieeɛ a Onipa Ba no de bɛma mo no akyiri kwan. Ɛfiri sɛ, yei enti na mʼAgya somaa me.” (aiōnios g166)
Be working, not for the food that perisheth, but for the food that endureth unto life age-abiding, —which, the Son of Man, unto you, will give; for upon, the same, hath the Father, even God, set his seal. (aiōnios g166)
28 Nnipa no bisaa no sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na yɛnyɛ na yɛasɔ Onyankopɔn ani?”
They said, therefore, unto him—What are we to do, that we may be working the works of God?
29 Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Yei ne deɛ Onyankopɔn pɛ sɛ moyɛ, monnye deɛ wasoma no no nni.”
Jesus answered, and said unto them—This, is the work of God: that ye believe on him whom, he, hath sent forth.
30 Nnipa no bisaa no bio sɛ, “Anwanwadeɛ bɛn na wobɛyɛ akyerɛ yɛn ama yɛagye wo adi?
They said, therefore, unto him—What, then, art, thou, doing, by way of sign, that we may see, and believe in thee: what art thou working?
31 Sɛ wopɛ sɛ yɛgye wo di sɛ wone Agyenkwa no deɛ a, ɛnneɛ ma yɛn aduane nni daa sɛdeɛ Atwerɛsɛm no di ho adanseɛ sɛ, Mose maa yɛn nananom ɔsoro aduane dii wɔ ɛserɛ so no.”
Our fathers, did eat, the manna, in the desert, —just as it is written: Bread out of heaven, he gave them to eat.
32 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Mereka nokorɛ akyerɛ mo sɛ, ɛnyɛ Mose na ɔmaa mo nananom aduane a ɛfiri ɔsoro no dii ɛserɛ so hɔ no na mmom, ɛyɛ mʼAgya. Na afei deɛ, ɔma mo aduane a ɛfiri ɔsoro a ɛma nkwa a ɛnni awieeɛ no di daa.
Jesus said unto them—Verily, verily, I say unto you: Not Moses, gave you the bread out of heaven; but, my Father, giveth you the real bread out of heaven.
33 Saa aduane a ɛfiri Onyankopɔn nkyɛn no ne onipa a ɔfiri ɔsoro ba asase so na ɔde nkwa brɛ ewiase no.”
For, the bread of God, is that which is coming down out of heaven, and giving, life, unto the world.
34 Nnipa no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Owura, ma yɛn saa aduane no bi nni daa.”
They said, therefore, unto him—Sir! Evermore, give us this bread.
35 Yesu kaa sɛ, “Mene burodo a ɛma nkwa no. Obiara a ɔba me nkyɛn na ɔgye me di no, ɛkɔm anaa osukɔm renne no da.
Jesus said unto them—I, am the bread of life: he that cometh unto me, in nowise shall hunger, and, he that believeth on me, in nowise shall thirst, any more.
36 Sɛdeɛ maka akyerɛ mo no, moahunu me nnwuma, nanso monnye me nni.
But I told you—Ye have even seen [me], and yet 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 which the Father is giving me, unto me, will have come, and, him that cometh unto me, in nowise will I cast out, —
38 Na mefiri ɔsoro baa asase so sɛ merebɛyɛ deɛ ɔsomaa me no apɛdeɛ, na ɛnyɛ mʼapɛdeɛ.
Because I have come down from heaven, —Not that I should be doing my own will, but the will of him that sent me.
39 Na deɛ ɔsomaa me no apɛdeɛ ne sɛ, mɛhwɛ wɔn a ɔde wɔn ama me no nyinaa so yie na da a ɛdi akyire no, manyane wɔn ama wɔn nkwa foforɔ.
And, this, is the will of him that sent me, That, of all that which he hath given me, I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day.
40 MʼAgya apɛdeɛ ne sɛ, obiara a ɔba me nkyɛn na ɔgye me di no bɛnya nkwa a ɛnni awieeɛ, na da a ɛdi akyire no, manyane no ama no nkwa foforɔ.” (aiōnios g166)
For, this, is the will of my Father, That, every one that vieweth the Son, and believeth on him, should have life age-abiding, and, I, should raise him up, at the last day. (aiōnios g166)
41 Yudafoɔ no tee sɛ Yesu aka sɛ, “Mene aduane a ɛfiri ɔsoro” no, wɔnwiinwiiɛ.
The Jews, therefore, began to murmur concerning him, because he said—I, am the bread that came down out of heaven;
42 Wɔkɔɔ so kaa sɛ, “Ɛnyɛ Yosef ne Maria ba ne saa Yesu yi? Ɛyɛɛ dɛn na ɔtumi ka sɛ ɔfiri ɔsoro na ɔbaeɛ?”
and were saying—Is not, this, Jesus, the son of Joseph, —of whom, we, know the father and the mother! How is it then, that he, now, saith: Out of heaven, have I come down?
43 Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Monnyae anwiinwii no.
Jesus answered, and said unto them—Be not murmuring, one with another:
44 Mommma ɛnnyɛ mo nwanwa sɛ maka saa, na obiara nni hɔ a ɔbɛtumi aba me nkyɛn, gye sɛ Agya no a ɔsomaa me no twe no ba me ho, na da a ɛdi akyire no, mɛnyane no.
No one, can come unto me, except, the Father who sent me, draw him, —and, I, will raise him up, in the last day.
45 Adiyifoɔ no twerɛɛ sɛ, ‘Onyankopɔn ankasa bɛkyerɛkyerɛ ne mma.’ Ɛno enti, obiara a ɔtie Agya no nkyerɛkyerɛ no ba me nkyɛn.
It is written in the prophets, —And they shall be, all, the instructed of God: Every one who hath heard of the Father, and learned, cometh unto me.
46 Asɛm a maka yi nkyerɛ sɛ obi ahunu Agya no pɛn, gye onipa a ɔfiri Agya no nkyɛn no.
Not that any one hath seen, the Father, save he who is from God, —this one, hath seen the Father.
47 Mereka nokwasɛm akyerɛ mo sɛ, obiara a ɔgye me di a ɛma nkwa a ɛfiri no nya nkwa a ɛnni awieeɛ. (aiōnios g166)
Verily, verily, I say unto you: He that believeth, hath life age-abiding. (aiōnios g166)
48 Mene burodo a ɛma nkwa no.
I am the bread of life: —
49 Mo nananom dii mana wɔ ɛserɛ so, nso wɔwuwuiɛ,
Your fathers, did eat, in the desert, the manna, —and died:
50 nanso burodo a ɛfiri ɔsoro ba no yɛ burodo a obi di a ɔrenwu da.
This, is the bread which, out of heaven, cometh down, that one, thereof, may eat, —and not die.
51 Mene burodo a ɛfiri ɔsoro no; sɛ obi di saa burodo yi a, ɔbɛtena ase daa. Burodo a mede bɛma obiara a ɔba me nkyɛn no, ne me honam a mede ma, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ na ewiase bɛnya nkwa.” (aiōn g165)
I, am the living bread, which, out of heaven, came down: If one eat of this bread, he shall live unto times age-abiding; and, the bread, moreover, which, I, will give, is, my flesh—for the world’s life. (aiōn g165)
52 Asɛm a Yesu kaeɛ yi maa Yudafoɔ no bo fuiɛ ma wɔbisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho sɛ, “Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na saa onipa yi atumi de ne honam ama yɛn sɛ aduane ama yɛadi?”
The Jews, therefore, began to strive one with another, saying—How can this one, unto us, give his flesh to eat?
53 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Mereka nokwasɛm akyerɛ mo; moanni Onipa Ba no honam sɛ aduane na moannom ne mogya a, morennya nkwa a ɛnni awieeɛ.
Jesus, therefore, said unto them—Verily, verily, I say unto you—Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink his blood, ye have not life within yourselves.
54 Obiara a ɔdi me honam sɛ aduane na ɔnom me mogya no nya nkwa a ɛnni awieeɛ, na da a ɛdi akyire no, mɛnyane no ama no nkwa foforɔ. (aiōnios g166)
He that feedeth upon my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath life age-abiding, and, I, will raise him up at the last day; (aiōnios g166)
55 Me honam ne aduane pa no, na me mogya nso ne nsu pa no.
For, my flesh, is, true, food, and, my blood, is, true, drink:
56 Obiara a ɔdi me honam sɛ aduane na ɔnom me mogya sɛ nsuo no te me mu, na me nso mete ne mu.
He that feedeth upon my flesh, and drinketh my blood, in me, abideth, and, I, in him.
57 Sɛdeɛ Agya teasefoɔ no somaa me na ɔno enti, mete ase no, saa ara nso na obiara a ɔdi me honam sɛ aduane no, me enti, ɔbɛtena ase.
Just as the living Father sent me, —and I live by reason of the Father, he also that feedeth upon me, even he, shall live by reason of me.
58 Yei ne burodo a ɛfiri ɔsoro baeɛ. Ɛnte sɛ mana a yɛn nananom dii wɔ ɛserɛ so na wɔwuwuiɛ no. Saa burodo yi deɛ, obiara a ɔbɛdi bi no bɛtena ase daa.” (aiōn g165)
This, is the bread, which, out of heaven, came down: —Not just as your fathers did eat—and died! He that feedeth upon this bread, shall live unto times age-abiding. (aiōn g165)
59 Ɛberɛ a na Yesu rekyerɛkyerɛ wɔ hyiadan mu wɔ Kapernaum no na ɔkaa saa nsɛm yi.
These things, said he, as, in a synagogue, he was teaching, in Capernaum.
60 Yesu akyidifoɔ no mu pii tee asɛm a ɔkaeɛ no, wɔkaa sɛ, “Saa asɛm yi deɛ, ɛkyere yɛn adwene. Hwan na ɔbɛte aseɛ?”
Many, of his disciples, therefore, when they heard, said—Hard, is this discourse, —Who can, thereunto, hearken?
61 Yesu hunuu sɛ nʼakyidifoɔ no renwiinwii no, ɔbisaa wɔn sɛ, “Asɛm a mekaeɛ yi to mo suntidua anaa?
But Jesus, knowing within himself that his disciples were murmuring concerning this, said unto them—Doth, this, cause, you, to stumble?
62 Ɛnneɛ, ɛba sɛ Onipa Ba no resane akɔ ɔsoro, faako a ɔfiri baeɛ no a, ɛdeɛn na mobɛyɛ?
[What] then, if ye should view the Son of Man ascending 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,
The spirit, it is, that giveth life, —the flesh, profiteth, nothing: The declarations which, I, have spoken unto you, are, spirit, and, are, life.
64 nanso mo mu bi nnye nni.” Ɛfiri ahyɛaseɛ no na Yesu hunuu wɔn a wɔnnye no nni ne wɔn a wɔbɛtwe wɔn ho afiri ne ho.
But there are some from among you, who do not believe. For Jesus knew from the beginning, who they were that did not believe, and who it was would deliver him up; —
65 Ɔkɔɔ so kaa sɛ, “Yei enti na meka kyerɛɛ mo sɛ, obi ntumi mma me nkyɛn gye sɛ Agya no ama no ho ɛkwan” no.
and he went on to say—For this cause, have I said unto you: No one, can come unto me, except it have been given him, of the Father.
66 Esiane saa nsɛm a Yesu kaeɛ no enti, nʼakyidifoɔ no mu pii twee wɔn ho firii ne ho na wɔanni nʼakyi bio.
Because of this, many from among his disciples, went away back, and, no longer, with him, were walking.
67 Yesu hunuu saa no, ɔbisaa asuafoɔ dumienu no sɛ, “Mo nso mobɛgyae mʼakyidie anaa?”
Jesus, therefore, said unto the twelve—Are, ye also, wishing to withdraw?
68 Simon Petro buaa no sɛ, “Awurade, hwan nkyɛn na yɛbɛkɔ? Wo na wowɔ nsɛm a ɛwɔ nkwa a ɛnni awieeɛ. (aiōnios g166)
Simon Peter answered him—Lord! unto whom, shall we go? Declarations of life age-abiding, thou hast; (aiōnios g166)
69 Na yɛgye wo nsɛm no di na yɛnim sɛ wone Onyankopɔn Ba Kronkron no.”
And, we, have believed, and come to know, —that, thou, art the Holy One of God.
70 Yesu kɔɔ so kaa sɛ, “Me ara na meyii mo dumienu yi, nanso mo mu baako yɛ ɔbonsam.”
Jesus answered them—Did not, I, make choice, of you, the twelve? And yet, from among you, one, is, an adversary.
71 Asɛm a Yesu kaeɛ no, na ɛfa Yuda a ɔyɛ Simon Iskariot ba no a ɔyɛ asuafoɔ dumienu no mu baako a ɔbɛyi Yesu ama no ho.
Now he was speaking of Judas, son of Simon Iscariot: for, the same, was about to deliver him up, —one of the twelve.
