Від Івана 6
1 Після того Ісус перейшов на той бік Галілейського чи Тіверія́дського моря.
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 А за Ним ішла бе́зліч народу, бо бачили чу́да Його, що чинив 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 Ісус же на го́ру зійшов, і сидів там зо Своїми учнями.
Jesus went up on the hillside and sat down with [us] disciples [to teach us].
4 Наближа́лася ж Пасха, свято юдейське.
Then he looked up and saw a great crowd of people coming toward him.
5 А Ісус, звівши очі Свої та побачивши, яка бе́зліч наро́ду до Нього йде, говорить Пилипові: „Де́ ми купимо хліба, щоб вони поживи́лись?“
He said to Philip, “Where will we buy food for all these people to eat?”
6 Він же це говорив, його випробо́вуючи, бо знав Сам, що́ Він має робити.
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 Пилип Йому відповідь дав: „І за двісті дина́ріїв їм хліба не стане, щоб кожен із них бодай тро́хи дістав“.
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 Говорить до Нього Андрій, один з учнів Його, брат Си́мона Петра:
Another one of [us] disciples, Andrew, who was Simon Peter’s [younger] brother, said to Jesus,
9 „Є тут хлопчи́на один, що має п'ять я́чних хлібів та дві риби, але що́ то на бе́зліч таку!“
“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 А Ісус відказав: „Скажіть лю́дям сідати!“А була на тім місці велика трава. І засіло чоловіка числом із п'ять тисяч.
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 А Ісус узяв хліби́, і, подяку вчинивши, роздав тим, хто сидів. Так само і з риб, скільки хотіли вони.
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 І, як наїлись вони, Він говорить до учнів Своїх: „Позбирайте куски позоста́лі, щоб ніщо не загинуло“.
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 І зібрали вони. І дванадцять повних кошів наклали кусків, що лишились їдця́м із п'яти я́чних хлібів.
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 А люди, що бачили чудо, яке Ісус учинив, гомоніли: „Це Той справді Пророк, що повинен прибути на світ!“
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 Спостерігши ж Ісус, що вони мають за́мір прийти та забрати Його, щоб настанови́ти царем, знов на го́ру пішов 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 А як вечір настав, то зійшли Його учні над море.
When it was evening, [we] disciples went down to [Galilee] Lake.
17 І, ввійшовши до чо́вна, на другий бік моря вони попливли́, до Капернау́му. І те́мрява вже наступила була́, а Ісус ще до них не прихо́див.
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 Від великого ж вітру, що віяв, хвилюва́лося море.
A strong wind started to blow and caused the water (to become very rough/to have high waves).
19 Як вони ж пропливли́ стадій із двадцять п'ять або з тридцять, то Ісуса побачили, що йде Він по морю, і до чо́вна зближається, — і їх страх обгорну́в.
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 каже до них: „Це Я, — не лякайтесь!“
But he said to us, “Do not be afraid! It is I!”
21 І хотіли вони взяти до чо́вна Його; та чо́вен зараз пристав до землі, до якої пливли́.
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 А наступного дня той наро́д, що на тім боці моря стояв, побачив, що там іншого чо́вна, крім одно́го того́, що до нього ввійшли були учні Його, не було́, і що до чо́вна не вхо́див Ісус із Своїми учнями, але відпливли́ самі учні.
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 А тим ча́сом із Тіверія́ди припливли́ човни́ інші близько до місця того, де вони їли хліб, як Господь учинив був подяку.
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 Отож, як побачили люди, що Ісуса та учнів Його там нема, то в човни́ посідали самі й прибули́ до Капернауму, — і шукали 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, на тім боці моря знайшовши Його, сказали Йому: „Коли Ти прибув сюди, Учителю?“
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 Відповів їм Ісус і сказав: „Поправді, поправці кажу́ вам: Мене не тому ви шукаєте, що бачили чуда, а що їли з хлібів і наси́тились.
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 Пильнуйте не про пожи́ву, що гине, але про поживу, що зостається на вічне життя, яку дасть вам Син Лю́дський, бо запечатав Його Бог Отець“. (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 Сказали ж до Нього вони: „Що́ ми маємо почати, щоб роби́ти діла Божі?“
Then the people asked him, “What things should we do [to please] God?”
29 Ісус відповів і сказав їм: „Оце діло Боже, — щоб у Того ви вірували, Кого Він послав“.
Jesus replied, “What God [wants you] to do is this: He wants you to believe that [I am] the one he has sent.”
30 А вони відказали Йому: „Яке ж знаме́но Ти чиниш, щоб побачили ми й поняли́ Тобі віри? Що Ти робиш?“
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 Наші отці́ їли ма́нну в пустині, як написано: „Хліб із неба їм дав на поживу“.
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 А Ісус їм сказав: „Поправді, поправді кажу́ вам: Не Мойсей хліб із неба вам дав, — Мій Отець дає вам хліб правдивий із неба.
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 хліб Божий є Той, Хто сходить із неба й дає життя світові“.
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 А вони відказали до Нього: „Давай, Господи, хліба такого нам за́вжди!“
[Not understanding what he meant], they said to him, “Sir, give us that kind of bread all the time!”
35 Ісус же сказав їм: „Я — хліб життя. Хто до Мене прихо́дить, — не голодува́тиме він, а хто вірує в Мене, — ніко́ли не пра́гнутиме.
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 Але Я вам сказав, що Мене хоч ви й бачили, та 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 при́йде до Мене, що Отець дає Мені, а того, хто до Мене приходить, Я 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 Я з неба зійшов не на те, щоб волю чинити Свою, але волю Того, Хто послав 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 Оце ж воля Того, Хто послав Мене, — щоб з усього, що дав Мені Він, Я нічого не стратив, але воскреси́в те 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 Оце ж воля Мого Отця, — щоб усякий, хто Сина бачить та вірує в Нього, мав вічне життя, — і того воскрешу́ Я 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 Тоді стали юдеї ре́мствувати на Нього, що сказав: „Я той хліб, що з неба зійшов“.
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 вони: „Хіба Він не Ісус, син Йо́сипів, що ми знаємо батька та матір Його? Як же Він каже: Я з неба зійшов?“
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 А Ісус відповів і промовив до них: „Не ремствуйте ви між собою!
Jesus replied to them, “Stop grumbling among yourselves [about what I just said]!
44 Ніхто бо не може до Мене прийти, як Отець, що послав Мене, не притягне його, — і того воскрешу́ Я 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 У Пророків написано: „І всі бу́дуть від Бога навче́ні.“Кожен, хто від Бога почув і навчився, 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 Це не значить, щоб хтось Отця бачив, — тільки Той Отця бачив, Хто походить від Бога.
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 — хліб життя!
[Just like] food [MET] [sustains your physical life], I am the [one who enables you to have spiritual] life.
49 Отці ваші в пустині їли манну, — і померли.
Even though your ancestors ate the manna [while they were traveling] in the desolate area, they died [anyway].
50 То є хліб, Який сходить із неба, — щоб не вмер, хто Його споживає.
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 — хліб живий, що з неба зійшов: коли хто споживатиме хліб цей, той повік буде жити. А хліб, що дам Я, то є тіло Моє, яке Я за життя світу дам“. (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 Тоді між собою змагатися стали юдеї, говорячи: „Як же Він може дати нам тіла спожити?“
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 І сказав їм Ісус: „Поправді, поправді кажу вам: Якщо ви споживати не будете тіла Сина Лю́дського й пити не будете крови Його, то в собі ви не будете мати життя.
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 тіло Моє споживає та кров Мою п'є, той має вічне життя, — і того воскрешу́ Я 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 Бо тіло Моє — то правдиво пожива, Моя ж кров — то правдиво пиття.
because my flesh and my blood are truly spiritual food.
56 Хто тіло Моє споживає та кров Мою п'є, той в Мені перебува́є, а Я в ньому.
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 Живий Отець послав Мене, і живу Я Отцем, так і той, хто Мене споживає, і він житиме 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 То є хліб, що з неба зійшов. Не як ваші отці їли ма́нну й померли, — хто цей хліб споживає, той жити буде пові́к!“ (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 Оце Він говорив, коли в Капернаумі навчав у синагозі.
He said this while he was teaching people in (the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place) in Capernaum.
60 А багато-хто з учнів Його, як почули оце, гомоніли: „Жорстока це мова! Хто́ слухати може її?“
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 А Ісус, Сам у Собі знавши це, що учні Його на те ре́мствують, промовив до них: „Чи оце вас споку́шує?
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 А що ж, як побачите Лю́дського Сина, що сходить туди, де перше Він 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 То Дух, що ожи́влює, тіло ж не помагає нічого. Слова́, що їх Я говорив вам, то дух і життя.
[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 Але є дехто з вас, хто не вірує“. Бо Ісус знав споча́тку, хто ті, хто не вірує, і хто видасть 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 сказав Він: „Я тому́ й говорив вам, що до Мене прибути не може ніхто, як не буде йому від Отця да́не те “.
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 Із того ча́су відпали багато-хто з учнів Його, і не ходили вже з Ним.
From that [time], many of his disciples left him and no longer went with him.
67 І сказав Ісус Дванадцятьо́м: „Чи не хочете й ви́ відійти?“
So he said to [us] twelve [apostles], “You do not want to leave me also, do you?”
68 Відповів Йому Си́мон Петро: „До ко́го ми пі́демо, Господи? Ти маєш слова́ життя вічного. (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 Ми ж увірували та пізнали, що Ти — Христос, Син Бога Живого!“
We have come to believe for certain that you are the holy one [who has come] from God!”
70 Відповів їм Ісус: „Чи не Дванадцятьо́х Я вас вибрав? Та один із вас дия́вол“.
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 Це сказав Він про Юду, сина Си́монового, Іскаріо́та. Бо цей мав Його видати, хоч він був один із Дванадцятьо́х.
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).
