John 6
1 Lẹ́yìn nǹkan wọ̀nyí, Jesu kọjá sí apá kejì Òkun Galili, tí í ṣe Òkun Tiberia.
After this Jesus went away across the Lake of Galilee (that is, the Lake of Tiberias).
2 Ọ̀pọ̀ ìjọ ènìyàn sì tọ̀ ọ́ lẹ́yìn, nítorí tí wọ́n rí iṣẹ́ àmì rẹ̀ tí ó ń ṣe lára àwọn aláìsàn.
A vast multitude followed Him, because they witnessed the miracles on the sick which He was constantly performing.
3 Jesu sì gun orí òkè lọ, níbẹ̀ ni ó sì gbé jókòó pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀.
Then Jesus went up the hill, and sat there with His disciples.
4 Àjọ ìrékọjá ọdún àwọn Júù sì súnmọ́ etílé.
The Jewish Festival, the Passover, was at hand.
5 Ǹjẹ́ bí Jesu ti gbé ojú rẹ̀ sókè, tí ó sì rí ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn wá sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, ó wí fún Filipi pé, “Níbo ni a ó ti ra àkàrà, kí àwọn wọ̀nyí lè jẹ?”
And when He looked round and saw an immense crowd coming towards Him, He said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread for all these people to eat?"
6 Ó sì sọ èyí láti dán an wò; nítorí tí òun fúnra rẹ̀ mọ ohun tí òun ó ṣe.
He said this to put Philip to the test, for He Himself knew what He was going to do.
7 Filipi dá a lóhùn pé, “Àkàrà igba owó idẹ kò lè tó fún wọn, bí olúkúlùkù wọn kò tilẹ̀ ní í rí ju díẹ̀ bù jẹ.”
"Seven pounds' worth of bread," replied Philip, "is not enough for them all to get even a scanty meal."
8 Ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀, Anderu, arákùnrin Simoni Peteru wí fún un pé,
One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to Him,
9 “Ọmọdékùnrin kan ń bẹ níhìn-ín yìí, tí ó ní ìṣù àkàrà barle márùn-ún àti ẹja wẹ́wẹ́ méjì, ṣùgbọ́n kín ni ìwọ̀nyí jẹ́ láàrín ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn wọ̀nyí?”
"There is a boy here with five barley loaves and a couple of fish: but what is that among so many?"
10 Jesu sì wí pé, “Ẹ mú kí àwọn ènìyàn náà jókòó!” Koríko púpọ̀ sì wá níbẹ̀. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn ọkùnrin náà jókòó; ìwọ̀n ẹgbẹ̀rún márùn-ún ènìyàn ní iye.
"Make the people sit down," said Jesus. The ground was covered with thick grass; so they sat down, the adult men numbering about 5,000.
11 Jesu sì mú ìṣù àkàrà náà. Nígbà tí ó sì ti dúpẹ́, ó pín wọn fún àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀, àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ sì pín wọn fún àwọn tí ó jókòó; bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ sì ni ẹja ní ìwọ̀n bí wọ́n ti ń fẹ́.
Then Jesus took the loaves, and after giving thanks He distributed them to those who were resting on the ground; and also the fish in like manner--as much as they desired.
12 Nígbà tí wọ́n sì yó, ó wí fún àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ pé, “Ẹ kó àjẹkù tí ó kù jọ, kí ohunkóhun má ṣe ṣòfò.”
When all were fully satisfied, He said to His disciples, "Gather up the broken portions that remain over, so that nothing be lost."
13 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n kó wọn jọ wọ́n sì fi àjẹkù ìṣù àkàrà barle márùn-ún náà kún agbọ̀n méjìlá, èyí tí àwọn tí ó jẹun jẹ kù.
Accordingly they gathered them up; and with the fragments of the five barley loaves--the broken portions that remained over after they had done eating--they filled twelve baskets.
14 Nítorí náà nígbà tí àwọn ọkùnrin náà rí iṣẹ́ àmì tí Jesu ṣe, wọ́n wí pé, “Lóòótọ́ èyí ni wòlíì náà tí ń bọ̀ wá sí ayé.”
Thereupon the people, having seen the miracle He had performed, said, "This is indeed the Prophet who was to come into the world."
15 Nígbà tí Jesu sì wòye pé wọ́n ń fẹ́ wá fi agbára mú òun láti lọ fi jẹ ọba, ó tún padà lọ sórí òkè, òun nìkan.
Perceiving, however, that they were about to come and carry Him off by force to make Him a king, Jesus withdrew again up the hill alone by Himself.
16 Nígbà tí alẹ́ sì lẹ́, àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí Òkun.
When evening came on, His disciples went down to the Lake.
17 Wọ́n sì bọ́ sínú ọkọ̀ ojú omi, wọ́n sì rékọjá Òkun lọ sí Kapernaumu. Ilẹ̀ sì ti ṣú, Jesu kò sì tí ì dé ọ̀dọ̀ wọn.
There they got on board a boat, and pushed off to cross the Lake to Capernaum. By this time it had become dark, and Jesus had not yet joined them.
18 Òkun sì ń ru nítorí ẹ̀fúùfù líle tí ń fẹ́.
The Lake also was getting rough, because a strong wind was blowing.
19 Nígbà tí wọ́n wa ọkọ̀ ojú omi tó bí ìwọ̀n ibùsọ̀ mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dọ́gbọ̀n tàbí ọgbọ̀n, wọ́n rí Jesu ń rìn lórí Òkun, ó sì súnmọ́ ọkọ̀ ojú omi náà; ẹ̀rù sì bà wọ́n.
When, however, they had rowed three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the water and coming near the boat.
20 Ṣùgbọ́n ó wí fún wọn pé, “Èmi ni; ẹ má bẹ̀rù.”
They were terrified; but He called to them. "It is I," He said, "do not be afraid."
21 Nítorí náà wọ́n fi ayọ̀ gbà á sínú ọkọ̀; lójúkan náà ọkọ̀ náà sì dé ilẹ̀ ibi tí wọ́n ń lọ.
Then they were willing to take Him on board; and in a moment the boat reached the shore at the point to which they were going.
22 Ní ọjọ́ kejì nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn tí ó dúró ní òdìkejì Òkun rí i pé, kò sí ọkọ̀ ojú omi mìíràn níbẹ̀, bí kò ṣe ọ̀kan náà tí àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ wọ̀, àti pé Jesu kò bá àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ wọ inú ọkọ̀ ojú omi náà, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ nìkan ni ó lọ.
Next morning the crowd who were still standing about on the other side of the Lake found that there had been but one small boat there, and they had seen that Jesus did not go on board with His disciples, but that His disciples went away without Him.
23 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọkọ̀ ojú omi mìíràn ti Tiberia wá, létí ibi tí wọn gbé jẹ àkàrà, lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí Olúwa ti dúpẹ́.
Yet a number of small boats came from Tiberias to the neighbourhood of the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.
24 Nítorí náà nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn rí i pé Jesu tàbí ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ kò sí níbẹ̀, àwọn pẹ̀lú wọ ọkọ̀ ojú omi lọ sí Kapernaumu, wọ́n ń wá Jesu.
When however the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor His disciples were there, they themselves also took boats and came to Capernaum to look for Jesus.
25 Nígbà tí wọ́n sì rí i ní apá kejì Òkun, wọ́n wí fún un pé, “Rabbi, nígbà wo ni ìwọ wá síyìn-ín yìí?”
So when they had crossed the Lake and had found Him, they asked Him, "Rabbi, when did you come here?"
26 Jesu dá wọn lóhùn ó sì wí pé, “Lóòótọ́ lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín. Ẹ̀yin ń wá mi, kì í ṣe nítorí tí ẹ̀yin rí iṣẹ́ àmì, ṣùgbọ́n nítorí ẹ̀yin jẹ àjẹyó ìṣù àkàrà.
"In most solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that you are searching for me not because you have seen miracles, but because you ate the loaves and had a hearty meal.
27 Ẹ má ṣe ṣiṣẹ́ fún oúnjẹ tí ń ṣègbé, ṣùgbọ́n fún oúnjẹ tí ó wà títí di ayé àìnípẹ̀kun, èyí tí Ọmọ Ènìyàn yóò fi fún yín. Nítorí pé òun ni, àní Ọlọ́run Baba ti fi èdìdì dì í.” (aiōnios g166)
Bestow your pains not on the food which perishes, but on the food that remains unto the Life of the Ages--that food which will be the Son of Man's gift to you; for on Him the Father, God, has set His seal." (aiōnios g166)
28 Nígbà náà ni wọ́n wí fún wọn pé, “Kín ni àwa ó ha ṣe, kí a lè ṣe iṣẹ́ Ọlọ́run?”
"What are we to do," they asked, "in order to carry out the things that God requires?"
29 Jesu dáhùn, ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Èyí ni iṣẹ́ Ọlọ́run pé, kí ẹ̀yin gba ẹni tí ó rán an gbọ́.”
"This," replied Jesus, "is above all the thing that God requires--that you should be believers in Him whom He has sent."
30 Nígbà náà ni wọ́n wí fún wọn pé, “Iṣẹ́ àmì kín ní ìwọ ń ṣe, tí àwa lè rí, kí a sì gbà ọ́ gbọ́? Iṣẹ́ kín ní ìwọ ṣe?
"What miracle then," they asked, "do you perform for us to see and become believers in you? What do you do?
31 Àwọn baba wa jẹ manna ní aginjù; gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ti kọ ọ́ pé, ‘Ó fi oúnjẹ láti ọ̀run wá fún wọn jẹ.’”
Our forefathers ate the manna in the Desert, as it is written, 'He gave them bread out of Heaven to eat'."
32 Nígbà náà ni Jesu wí fún wọn pé, “Lóòótọ́ lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín, kì í ṣe Mose ni ó fi oúnjẹ fún yín láti ọ̀run wá, ṣùgbọ́n Baba mi ni ó fi oúnjẹ òtítọ́ náà fún yín láti ọ̀run wá.
"In most solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that Moses did not give you the bread out of Heaven, but my Father is giving you the bread--the true bread--out of Heaven.
33 Nítorí pé oúnjẹ Ọlọ́run ni èyí tí ó ti ọ̀run sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá, tí ó sì fi ìyè fún aráyé.”
For God's bread is that which comes down out of Heaven and gives Life to the world."
34 Nígbà náà ni wọ́n wí fún un pé, “Olúwa, máa fún wa ní oúnjẹ yìí títí láé.”
"Sir," they said, "always give us that bread."
35 Jesu wí fún wọn pé, “Èmi ni oúnjẹ ìyè, ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá tọ̀ mí wá, ebi kì yóò pa á; ẹni tí ó bá sì gbà mí gbọ́, òǹgbẹ kì yóò gbẹ ẹ́ mọ́ láé.
"I am the bread of Life," replied Jesus; "he who comes to me shall never hunger, and he who believes in me shall never, never thirst.
36 Ṣùgbọ́n mo wí fún yín pé, Ẹ̀yin ti rí mi, ẹ kò sì gbàgbọ́.
But it is as I have said to you: you have seen me and yet you do not believe.
37 Gbogbo èyí tí Baba fi fún mi, yóò tọ̀ mí wá; ẹni tí ó bá sì tọ̀ mí wá, èmi kì yóò tà á nù, bí ó tí wù kó rí.
Every one whom the Father gives me will come to me, and him who comes to me I will never on any account drive away.
38 Nítorí èmi sọ̀kalẹ̀ láti ọ̀run wá, kì í ṣe láti máa ṣe ìfẹ́ ti èmi fúnra mi, bí kò ṣe ìfẹ́ ti ẹni tí ó rán mi.
For I have left Heaven and have come down to earth not to seek my own pleasure, but to do the will of Him who sent me.
39 Èyí sì ni ìfẹ́ Baba tí ó rán mi pé ohun gbogbo tí o fi fún mi, kí èmi má ṣe sọ ọ̀kan nù nínú wọn, ṣùgbọ́n kí èmi lè jí wọn dìde níkẹyìn ọjọ́.
And this is the will of Him who sent me, that of all that He has given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it to life on the last day.
40 Èyí sì ni ìfẹ́ ẹni tí ó rán mi, pé ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá wo ọmọ, tí ó bá sì gbà á gbọ́, kí ó lè ní ìyè àìnípẹ̀kun, Èmi ó sì jí i dìde níkẹyìn ọjọ́.” (aiōnios g166)
For this is my Father's will, that every one who fixes his gaze on the Son of God and believes in Him should have the Life of the Ages, and I will raise him to life on the last day." (aiōnios g166)
41 Nígbà náà ni àwọn Júù ń kùn sí i, nítorí tí ó wí pé, “Èmi ni oúnjẹ tí ó ti ọ̀run sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá.”
Now the Jews began to find fault about Him because of His claiming to be the bread which came down out of Heaven.
42 Wọ́n sì wí pé, “Jesu ha kọ́ èyí, ọmọ Josẹfu, baba àti ìyá ẹni tí àwa mọ̀? Báwo ni ó ṣe wí pé, ‘Èmi ti ọ̀run sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá’?”
They kept asking, "Is not this man Joseph's son? Is he not Jesus, whose father and mother we know? What does he mean by now saying, 'I have come down out of Heaven'?"
43 Nítorí náà Jesu dáhùn, ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ má ṣe kùn láàrín yín!
"Do not thus find fault among yourselves," replied Jesus;
44 Kò sí ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó lè wá sọ́dọ̀ mi, bí kò ṣe pé Baba tí ó rán mi fà á, Èmi ó sì jí i dìde níkẹyìn ọjọ́.
"no one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him; then I will raise him to life on the last day.
45 A sá à ti kọ ọ́ nínú ìwé àwọn wòlíì pé, ‘A ó sì kọ́ gbogbo wọn láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run wá,’ nítorí náà ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá ti gbọ́, tí a sì ti ọ̀dọ̀ Baba kọ́, òun ni ó ń tọ̀ mí wá.
It stands written in the Prophets, 'And they shall all of them be taught by God'. Every one who listens to the Father and learns from Him comes to me.
46 Kì í ṣe pé ẹnìkan ti rí Baba bí kò ṣe ẹni tí ó ti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run wá, òun ni ó ti rí Baba.
No one has ever seen the Father--except Him who is from God. He has seen the Father.
"In most solemn truth I tell you that he who believes has the Life of the Ages. (aiōnios g166)
48 Èmi ni oúnjẹ ìyè.
I am the bread of Life.
49 Àwọn baba yín jẹ manna ní aginjù, wọ́n sì kú.
Your forefathers ate the manna in the Desert, and they died.
50 Èyí ni oúnjẹ tí ó ti ọ̀run sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá, kí ènìyàn lè máa jẹ nínú rẹ̀ kí ó má sì kú.
Here is the bread that comes down out of Heaven that a man may eat it and not die.
51 Èmi ni oúnjẹ ìyè náà tí ó ti ọ̀run sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá, bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá jẹ nínú oúnjẹ yìí, yóò yè títí láéláé, oúnjẹ náà tí èmi ó sì fi fún ni fún ìyè aráyé ni ara mi.” (aiōn g165)
I am the living bread come down out of Heaven. If a man eats this bread, he shall live for ever. Moreover the bread which I will give is my flesh given for the life of the world." (aiōn g165)
52 Nítorí náà ni àwọn Júù ṣe ń bá ara wọn jiyàn, pé, “Ọkùnrin yìí yóò ti ṣe lè fi ara rẹ̀ fún wa láti jẹ?”
This led to an angry debate among the Jews. "How can this man," they argued, "give us his flesh to eat?"
53 Nígbà náà ni Jesu wí fún wọn pé, “Lóòótọ́, lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín, bí kò ṣe pé ẹ̀yin bá jẹ ara Ọmọ Ènìyàn, kí ẹ sì mu ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ̀, ẹ̀yin kò ní ìyè nínú yin.
"In most solemn truth I tell you," said Jesus, "that unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no Life in you.
54 Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá jẹ ara mi, tí ó bá sì mu ẹ̀jẹ̀ mi, ó ní ìyè tí kò nípẹ̀kun. Èmi o sì jí i dìde níkẹyìn ọjọ́. (aiōnios g166)
He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has the Life of the Ages, and I will raise him up on the last day. (aiōnios g166)
55 Nítorí ara mi ni ohun jíjẹ nítòótọ́, àti ẹ̀jẹ̀ mi ni ohun mímu nítòótọ́.
For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
56 Ẹni tí ó bá jẹ ara mi, tí ó bá sì mu ẹ̀jẹ̀ mi, ó ń gbé inú mi, èmi sì ń gbé inú rẹ̀.
He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in union with me, and I remain in union with him.
57 Gẹ́gẹ́ bí Baba alààyè ti rán mi, tí èmi sì yè nípa Baba gẹ́gẹ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹni tí ó jẹ mí, òun pẹ̀lú yóò yè nípa mi.
As the ever-living Father has sent me, and I live because of the Father, so also he who eats me will live because of me.
58 Èyí sì ni oúnjẹ náà tí ó sọ̀kalẹ̀ láti ọ̀run wá, kì í ṣe bí àwọn baba yín ti jẹ manna, tí wọ́n sì kú, ẹni tí ó bá jẹ́ oúnjẹ yìí yóò yè láéláé.” (aiōn g165)
This is the bread which came down out of Heaven; it is unlike that which your forefathers ate--for they ate and yet died. He who eats this bread shall live for ever." (aiōn g165)
59 Nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni ó sọ nínú Sinagọgu, bí ó ti ń kọ́ni ní Kapernaumu.
Jesus said all this in the synagogue while teaching at Capernaum.
60 Nítorí náà nígbà tí ọ̀pọ̀ àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ gbọ́ èyí, wọ́n wí pé, “Ọ̀rọ̀ tí ó le ni èyí; ta ní lè gbọ́ ọ?”
Many therefore of His disciples, when they heard it, said, "This is hard to accept. Who can listen to such teaching?"
61 Nígbà tí Jesu sì mọ̀ nínú ara rẹ̀ pé àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ ń kùn sí ọ̀rọ̀ náà, ó wí fún wọn pé, “Èyí jẹ́ ìkọ̀sẹ̀ fún yín bí?
But, knowing in Himself that His disciples were dissatisfied about it, Jesus asked them,
62 Ǹjẹ́, bí ẹ̀yin bá sì rí i tí Ọmọ Ènìyàn ń gòkè lọ sí ibi tí ó gbé ti wà rí ń kọ́?
"Does this seem incredible to you? What then if you were to see the Son of Man ascending again where He was before?
63 Ẹ̀mí ní ń sọ ni di ààyè; ara kò ní èrè kan; ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí tí mo sọ fún yín, ẹ̀mí ni, ìyè sì ni pẹ̀lú.
It is the spirit which gives Life. The flesh confers no benefit whatever. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and are Life.
64 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn kan wà nínú yín tí kò gbàgbọ́.” Nítorí Jesu mọ̀ láti ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ wá ẹni tí wọ́n jẹ́ tí kò gbàgbọ́, àti ẹni tí yóò fi òun hàn.
But there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who those were that did not believe, and who it was that would betray Him.
65 Ó sì wí pé, “Nítorí náà ni mo ṣe wí fún yín pé, kò sí ẹni tí ó lè tọ̀ mí wá, bí kò ṣe pé a fi fún un láti ọ̀dọ̀ Baba mi wá.”
So He added, "That is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it be granted him by the Father."
66 Nítorí èyí ọ̀pọ̀ àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ padà sẹ́yìn, wọn kò sì bá a rìn mọ́.
Thereupon many of His disciples left Him and went away, and no longer associated with Him.
67 Nítorí náà Jesu wí fún àwọn méjìlá pé, “Ẹ̀yin pẹ̀lú ń fẹ́ lọ bí?”
Jesus therefore appealed to the Twelve. "Will you go also?" He asked.
68 Nígbà náà ni Simoni Peteru dá a lóhùn pé, “Olúwa, ọ̀dọ̀ ta ni àwa ó lọ? Ìwọ ni ó ni ọ̀rọ̀ ìyè àìnípẹ̀kun. (aiōnios g166)
"Master," replied Simon Peter, "to whom shall we go? Your teachings tell us of the Life of the Ages. (aiōnios g166)
69 Àwa sì ti gbàgbọ́, a sì mọ̀ pé ìwọ ni Kristi náà, Ọmọ Ọlọ́run alààyè.”
And we have come to believe and know that you are indeed the Holy One of God."
70 Jesu dá wọn lóhùn pé, “Ẹ̀yin méjìlá kọ́ ni mo yàn, ọ̀kan nínú yín kò ha sì ya èṣù?”
"Did not I choose you--the Twelve?" said Jesus, "and even of you one is a devil."
71 (Ó ń sọ ti Judasi Iskariotu ọmọ Simoni ọ̀kan nínú àwọn méjìlá, nítorí pé òun ni ẹni tí yóò fi í hàn.)
He alluded to Judas, the son of Simon the Iscariot. For he it was who, though one of the Twelve, was afterwards to betray Him.
