Від Івана 6
1 Після сього пійшов Ісус на той бік моря Галилейського, Тивериядського,
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 І йшло за Ним багато народу, бо бачили Його ознаки, що робив над недужими.
A large crowd of people kept following Jesus [on land] because they had been seeing the miracles he performed [by healing] sick people.
3 Зійшов же на гору Ісус, і сидїв там з учениками своїми.
Jesus went up on the hillside and sat down with [us] disciples [to teach us].
4 Була ж близько пасха, сьвято Жидівське.
Then he looked up and saw a great crowd of people coming toward him.
5 Знявши ж Ісус очі і побачивши, що багато народу йде до Него, рече до филипа: Звідкіля купимо хлїба, щоб вони попоїли?
He said to Philip, “Where will we buy food for all these people to eat?”
6 Се ж сказав, вивідуючи його, бо сам знав, що має роботи.
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 Відказав Йому Филип: За двісті денариїв хлїба не стане їм, щоб кожному з них хоч трохи досталось.
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 Каже Йому один з учеників Його, Андрей, брат Симона Петра:
Another one of [us] disciples, Andrew, who was Simon Peter’s [younger] brother, said to Jesus,
9 Є тут хлопець один, що мав пять хлїбів ячних [ячмінних] та дві рибки; тільки що сього на стільки?
“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 Рече ж Ісус: Заставте людей сїдати. Була ж трава велика на тому місці. Посідали ж чоловіки, числом тисяч з пять.
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 Прийнявши ж хлїби Ісус, і оддавши хвалу, подав ученикам, ученики ж сидячим; так само й риби, скільки хотіли.
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 Як же наситились, рече ученикам своїм: Позбирайте останки окрушин, щоб не пропало нїщо.
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 Зібрали ж і наповнили дванайцять кошів окрушин із пяти хлїбів ячних, що зосталось у тих, що їли.
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 Люде ж, бачивши, яку ознаку зробив Ісус, сказали, що се справді пророк, грядущий на сьвіт.
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 Як же постеріг Ісус, що хочуть прийти та схопити Його, щоб зробити Його царем, то пійшов ізнов на гору сам один.
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 Як же настав вечір, пійшли ученики Його над море,
When it was evening, [we] disciples went down to [Galilee] Lake.
17 і, ввійшовши в човен, плили на той бік моря у Капернаум. І вже стемнїло, й не приходив до них Ісус.
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 А море, од великого вітру, що пурхав, піднялось.
A strong wind started to blow and caused the water (to become very rough/to have high waves).
19 Одпливши ж гоней на двайцять і пять або трийцять, бачять, що Ісус ходить по морю, і до човна наближують ся, і полякались.
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 Він же рече їм: Се я; не лякайтесь.
But he said to us, “Do not be afraid! It is I!”
21 Тодї радо прийняли Його в човен, і зараз човен опинивсь коло землї, куди вони прямували.
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 Назавтра народ, стоячий по тім боці моря, побачивши, що иншого човна не було там, тільки один той, у котрий ввійшли ученики Його, й що не ввійшов з учениками сво'їми Ісус у човен, а що самі ученики Його відчалили,
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 инші ж човни поприходили з Тиверияди поблизу місця, де їли хліб, як хвалу оддав Господь;
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 побачивши ж оце люде, що Ісуса там нема, анї учеників Його, ввійшли і вони в човни, та й прибули в Капернаум, шукаючи Ісуса.
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 І, знайшовши Його на тім боцї моря, сказали Йому: Рави, коли прибув єси сюда?
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 Відказав Їм Ісус і рече: Істино, істино глаголю вам: Шукаєте мене не тому, що бачили ознаки, а що їли хлїб, та й наситились.
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 Трудіть ся не для їжи погибаючої, а для їжи, що зостаєть ся в вічне життє, котру Син чоловічий вам дасть; Сього бо Отець ствердив, Бог. (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 Казали ж до Него: Що нам робити, щоб чинити діла Божі?
Then the people asked him, “What things should we do [to please] God?”
29 Відказав Ісус і рече їм: Се єсть дїло Боже, щоб вірувати в Того, кого післав Він.
Jesus replied, “What God [wants you] to do is this: He wants you to believe that [I am] the one he has sent.”
30 Казали ж Йому: Що ж робиш Ти за ознаку, щоб виділи ми, та й вірували Тобі? Що чиниш?
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 Батьки наші манну їли в пустинї, як писано: Хлїб з неба дав їм їсти.
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 Рече ж їм Ісус: Істино, істино глаголю вам: Не Мойсей дав вам хлїб з неба, а Отець мій дає вам хлїб з неба правдивий.
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 Бо хлїб Божий той, що сходить з неба, і життє дає сьвітові.
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 Казали ж до Него: Господи, всякого часу давай нам хлїб сей.
[Not understanding what he meant], they said to him, “Sir, give us that kind of bread all the time!”
35 Рече ж їм Ісус: Я хлїб життя, хто приходить до мене, не голодувати ме, і хто вірує в мене, не жаждувати ме нїколи.
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 Тільки глаголю вам, що й видїли мене, та й не віруєте.
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 Усе, що дає менї Отець, до мене прийде; а хто приходить до мене, не вижену геть.
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 Бо зійшов я з неба, не щоб чинити волю мою, а волю Пославшого мене.
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 Се ж воля пославшого мене Отця, щоб з усього, що дав менї, не погубив я нічого, а воскресив його останнього дня.
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 Се ж воля пославшого мене, щоб кожен, хто видить Сина й вірує в Него, мав житте вічне, і я воскрешу його останнього дня. (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 Миркали [відказували] тодї Жиди про Него, що сказав: Я хлїб, що зійшов з небес;
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 і казали: Хиба се не Ісус, син Йосифів, котрого знаємо ми батька й Матїр? Як же Він каже: Що з неба зійшов я?
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 Озвав ся ж Ісус і рече їм: Не миркайте між собою.
Jesus replied to them, “Stop grumbling among yourselves [about what I just said]!
44 Нїхто не може прийти до мене, коли Отець, пославший мене, не притягне його, й я воскрешу його останнього дня.
[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 Написано в пророків: І будуть усї навчені від Бога. Тим кожен, хто чув од Отця і навчивсь, приходить до мене.
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 Не то, щоб Отця хто видїв, тільки Той, хто від Бога, Той видїв Отця.
I came from God. I am the only one who has seen [my] Father. No one else has seen him.
Listen to this carefully: Everyone who believes ([my message/in me]) has eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
48 Я хлїб життя.
[Just like] food [MET] [sustains your physical life], I am the [one who enables you to have spiritual] life.
49 Батьки ваші їли манну в пустинї, та й повмирали.
Even though your ancestors ate the manna [while they were traveling] in the desolate area, they died [anyway].
50 Се хлїб, що з неба сходить, щоб, хто їсть Його, не вмер.
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 Я хлїб живий, що з неба зійшов. Коли хто їсть сей хлїб, жити ме по вік; а хлїб, що я дам, се тіло моє, що я дам за життє сьвіту. (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 Змагались тодї між собою, говорячи: Як може Він дати нам тіло їсти?
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 Рече ж їм Ісус: Істино, істино глаголю вам: Як не їсте тіла Сина чоловічого й не пєте Його крові, не маєте життя в собі.
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 Хто їсть тіло моє і пє мою кров, має життє вічне, і я воскрешу його останнього дня. (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 Тїло моє справді єсть їжа, а кров моя справді єсть напиток.
because my flesh and my blood are truly spiritual food.
56 Хто їсть тїло моє і пє кров мою, в менї пробуває, а я в йому.
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 Як післав мене живий Отець, і я живу Отцем, так і хто їсть мене, й той жити ме мною.
[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 Се хлїб, що з неба зійшов. Не як батьки ваші їли манну та й повмирали; хто їсть сей хлїб, жити ме по вік. (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 Се Він глаголав у школі, навчаючи в Капернаумі.
He said this while he was teaching people in (the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place) in Capernaum.
60 Многі ж слухавши з учеників Його казали: Жорстоке се слово; хто може його слухати?
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 Знаючи ж Ісус сам у собі, що миркають про Него ученики Його, рече їм: Се вас блазнить?
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 Що ж, коли побачите Сина чоловічого, як входить туди, де перше був?
([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 Се дух, що оживлює; тіло не годить ся нї на що. Слова, що я глаголю вам, се дух і життє.
[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 Тільки ж є такі між вами, що не вірують. Знав бо з почину Ісус, котрі не вірують, і хто зрадить Його.
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 І рече: Тим глаголав вам, що ніхто не може прийти до мене, коли не буде дано йому від Отця мого.
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 Після сього багато з учеників Його пійшли назад, і вже більш з Ним не ходили.
From that [time], many of his disciples left him and no longer went with him.
67 Рече ж Ісус дванайцятьом: Чи й ви хочете йти?
So he said to [us] twelve [apostles], “You do not want to leave me also, do you?”
68 Відказав тодї Йому Симон Петр: Господи, до кого йти нам? у Тебе слова життя вічнього, (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 і ми увірували й взнали, що Ти єси Христос, Син Бога живого.
We have come to believe for certain that you are the holy one [who has come] from God!”
70 Відказав їм Ісус: Хиба не я вас дванайцятьох вибрав? А один з вас диявол.
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 Говорив же про Юду Симонового Іскариота: сей бо мав Його зрадити, один з дванайцяти.
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).
