John 6 (DNE) · Opened

1Pajhomolila kulonge gheniya, Yecho ajhakujhomboka kwiye jha lilabha lya ku Galilaya, helahela likemwa lilabha lya Tibeliya.After this, Jesus crossed to the other side of the Sea of Galilee (that is, the Sea of Tiberias).

2Lilongo likolongwa lya bhando lijhakunkengama Yecho nhwalo bhakalolite nginyililo yatehila ya kwalamicha bhibhalwalwa.A large crowd followed Him because they saw the signs He was performing on the sick.

3Yecho ajhakukwela ku kitombe, ajhakutama pahe kwenio pamonga na bhabholwa bhake.Then Jesus went up on the mountain and sat down with His disciples.

4Unyagho gwa Pachaka jha Akayahude ukibha ubhandikile.Now the Jewish Feast of the Passover was near.

5Bhahe, Yecho palyangatika ajhakubhona lilongo likolongwa lya bhando libhii titili likanhikilila, ajhakunkonya Filipu, “Bho, natuhemela kojhe chakulye bhando bhamba?”When Jesus looked up and saw a large crowd coming toward Him, He said to Philip, “Where can we buy bread for these people to eat?”

6Yecho alongila naha anyighe Filipu, nhwalo akamanye chakuhenga.But He was asking this to test him, for He knew what He was about to do.

7Filipu ajhakunnyanguu, “Imbembela ya mbijha makome mabhele gha madine gha feza ghakwela jhe kuhemelela mabumunda kila mundo.”Philip answered, “Two hundred denarii would not buy enough bread for each of them to have a small piece.”

8Jhumo pakate jha bhabholwa bhake liina lyake Anduleya, unung'una mundo Simone Petile, ajhakunnobholela Yecho,One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to Him,

9“Abhii pamba nchongolo, jwakwete mabumunda nhwano gha chayile na homba ibhele, nambo nabhajhukuta bhole bhando kwa ilebhe henge yandina?”“Here is a boy with five barley loaves and two small fish. But what difference will these make among so many?”

10Yecho ajhakwalobholela bhabholwa bhake, “Mwatamike bhando pahe mwihibhogha ibhogha.” Peniya pakibha na manyahe titili bhahe, bhando bhoha bhakahikii elufo nhwano, bheniya akanalome tugha.“Have the people sit down,” Jesus said. Now there was plenty of grass in that place, so the men sat down, about five thousand of them.

11Bhahe, Yecho ajhakutola mabumunda gha chayile, na ajhakunchenguu Chapanga, na kwabhaghanichila bhando bhubhatamite pahe. Na homba ajhakuhibhaghanichila ibhogha yoha hele ngita chibhapalita.Then Jesus took the loaves and the fish, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted.

12Bhando bhoha bhajhukuta, Yecho ajhakwalobholela bhabholwa bhake, “Nnyolangane mahighiliko ghighahighilike changahobhelela chochoha.”And when everyone was full, He said to His disciples, “Gather the pieces that are left over, so that nothing will be wasted.”

13Bhahe, bhabholwa bhajhakujhola mahighiliko gha mabumunda gha chayile bhajhakutwelela ichukilo kome na ibhele ya mahighiliko.So they collected them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten.

14Bhando bhoha pubhalolita nginyililo itehilwa na Yecho bhajhakulonge, “Chakaka jhonjo ndi nnondole jwalongilwa nahika pannema pano!”When the people saw the sign that Jesus had performed, they began to say, “Truly this is the Prophet who is to come into the world.”

15Yecho akamanye bhando bhipala bhantende munahota nkolongwa kwa likakala, peniya ajhakujhenda ku katombe kanjika.Then Jesus, realizing that they were about to come and make Him king by force, withdrew again to a mountain by Himself.

16Pulitipika lyobha, bhabholwa bhake bhajhakuhuluka ade ku lilabha,When evening came, His disciples went down to the sea,

17bhajhakujhingila mungalabha na kujhomboka lilabha bhajhakujhenda ade ku Kapelenaumo. Pakibha na lubhendo na Yecho amela anakongana nako jhe.got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was already dark, and Jesus had not yet gone out to them.

18Lilabha lijhakutumbuu kutimbuka nhwalo gwa upepo nkolongwa ghupoghita.A strong wind was blowing, and the sea grew agitated.

19Bhabholwa bhake pubhatyangita utale gwa maile itatu amu ncheche, bhajhakummona Yecho ityanga panane jha mache, akibhandikila ngalabha, bhabholwa bhajhakujhoghopa hake.When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the sea—and they were terrified.

20Yecho ajhakwalobholela, “Nkotoka kujhoghopa, ndi nenga!”But Jesus spoke up: “It is I; do not be afraid.”

21Bhahe, bhabholwa bhapata bhayungii Yecho mungalabha, papalapala ngalabha ikahikite pandumba pibhajhahwila.Then they were willing to take Him into the boat, and at once the boat reached the shore where they were heading.

22Kilabho jhake lilongo likolongwa lya bhando likahighilike kwiye jha lilabha bhakamanye ibhii ngalabha jhimo tugha. Na bhakamanye Yecho akajhingi jhe mungalabha na bhabholwa bhake, nambo bhabholwa bhake bhakajhenda kanjika chabhe.The next day, the crowd that had remained on the other side of the sea realized that only one boat had been there, and that Jesus had not boarded it with His disciples, but they had gone away alone.

23Na ngalabha henge ijhakujhonjekeka kuhumii ku Tibeliya ijhakuhika pahina na pala lilongo likolongwa lya bhando pubhalila mabumunda, Bhambo panombita Chapanga.However, some boats from Tiberias landed near the place where the people had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

24Bhahe, bhando bheniya pibhang'amwila kubhehe Yecho na bhabholwa bhake bhabhii jhe peniya, bhajhakujhingii mungalabha na kujhenda ku Kapelenaumo kwapalaha.So when the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor His disciples were there, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum to look for Him.

25Bhando pibhamonita Yecho kwiye jha lilabha bhajhakunkonya, “Mmola, mwenga nhwikite ligha kongone?”When they found Him on the other side of the sea, they asked Him, “Rabbi, when did You get here?”

26Yecho ajhakwajhanguu, “Ninnobholela chakaka, chiumbalakiya chi nhwalo mukahwene nginyililo, nhwalo gwa mabumunda ghukapita ghala nu kujhukuta.Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, it is not because you saw these signs that you are looking for Me, but because you ate the loaves and had your fill.

27Nkotoka kukipikiya miho chakulya chikibhola, nambo mukipikihi miho chakulya chikitamikiya na kileta ughome gwa machiko ghoha ghangapeta. Mwana gwa Mundo napelangana mangota chakulya chenie, nhwalo Tate Chapanga anangiye kunhaghula na kunyeketela.”Do not work for food that perishes, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on Him God the Father has placed His seal of approval.”

28Peniya bhajhakunkonya Yecho, “Bho, tuhenge nike tuhoto kuhenga ghala ghapala Chapanga tuhenge?”Then they inquired, “What must we do to perform the works of God?”

29Yecho pajhangwila, “Chenje ndi chapala Chapanga mukihenge, munyeketele jhola jwatumita.”Jesus replied, “The work of God is this: to believe in the One He has sent.”

30Bhahe, bhajhakunkonya, “Bho, natenda nginyililo ghane tupala tulole na twenga tunyeketele? Bho, naunhenga nike?So they asked Him, “What sign then will You perform, so that we may see it and believe You? What will You do?

31Akahoko bhito bhakalile chakulya chikikemitwa mana kunjenga, ngita chighalonge Majhandiko gha Chapanga, ‘Akabhapekiye libumunda lilihulwika kuhumii kunane kwa Chapanga.’ ”Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, as it is written: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’”

32Yecho ajhakwalobholela, “Ninnobholela chakaka, chi Mucha jwakampeki libumunda kuhumi kunane kwa Chapanga, nambo Tate gwango ndi jwapekiya mabumunda gha chakaka kuhumi kunane.Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.

33Nhwalo libumunda lya Chapanga ndi ghola ghuhulwika kuhumii kunane kwa Chapanga na kwapela ughome bhando bha pannema.”For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”

34Bhahe, bhajhakunnobholela, “Bhambo, machiko ghoha mutupela libumunda lya machiko ghoha.”“Sir,” they said, “give us this bread at all times.”

35Yecho ajhakwalobholela, “Nenga ndi chakulya chikileta ughome. Bhala bhubhahika kwa nenga nabhabhehe ng'o na njala na jhola jwanyeketela nabhehe ng'o na nyota jha mache kabhele.Jesus answered, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to Me will never hunger, and whoever believes in Me will never thirst.

36Ngita chininnobholila umwene nambo minyekete jhe.But as I stated, you have seen Me and still you do not believe.

37Bhoha bhampela Tate nabhahika kwa nenga, mundo jhojhoha jwahika kwa nenga nanimmenga ng'o.Everyone the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will never drive away.

38Uhulwike kuhumii kunane kwa Chapanga chi kuhenga ghinipala namwete, nambo kutenda ghapala jhola jwandumita.For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but to do the will of Him who sent Me.

39Jhola jwandumita apala naha, ngotoka kuhobhecha hilu jhumo pakate jha bhala bhambekiye, nambo nayokecha bhoha mukuwegha lichiko lya mwicho.And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall lose none of those He has given Me, but raise them up at the last day.

40Nhwalo chapala Tate gwango kila mundo jwamona Mwana na kunyeketela nabhaha na ughome gwa machiko ghoha ghangapeta, na nenga naniyokecha lichiko lya mwicho.”For it is My Father’s will that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.”

41Bhahe, Akayahude bhajhakutumbu kukokolekeya nhwalo akalongi, “Nenga ndi libumunda lilihuluke kuhumii kunane kwa Chapanga.”At this, the Jews began to grumble about Jesus because He had said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.”

42Na bhene bhajhakulonge, “Bho, jhonjo Yecho chi mwana gwa Uchupo ndeka tate na majhe mundo twamanye? Ahoto bhole kulonge ahulwike kuhumii kunane kwa Chapanga?”They were asking, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then can He say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?”

43Yecho ajhakwalobholela, “Mwileke ngokoleko pakate jhino.“Stop grumbling among yourselves,” Jesus replied.

44Abhii ndeka mundo jwahoto kuhika kwa nenga, ngita Tate jwandumite chaunhutila kwa jwenio, na nenga nanihyokecha mundo jwenio lichiko lya mwicho.“No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.

45Milondole bha Chapanga bhajhandikwe, ‘Bhando bhoha nabhabholwa na Chapanga.’ Kila mundo jwannyokanikiya Tate na kukibhola kuhumii kwa jwenio, nahika kwa nenga.It is written in the Prophets: ‘And they will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from Him comes to Me—

46Abhii jhe mundo jhojhoha jwamwene Tate nga jhola jwahumila kwa Chapanga, ndi jwenio tugha jwamwene Tate.not that anyone has seen the Father except the One who is from God; only He has seen the Father.

47Ninnobholela chakaka, mundo jhojhoha jwanyeketela abhii na ughome gwa machiko ghoha ghangapeta.Truly, truly, I tell you, he who believes has eternal life.

48Nenga ndi chakulya cha ughome.I am the bread of life.

49Akahoko bhino bhakalile mana kunjenga, nambo bhakawile.Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died.

50Nambo lende ndi libumunda lilihulwike kuhumii kunane kwa Chapanga, jhojhoha jwalyegha nahwejhe.This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that anyone may eat of it and not die.

51Nenga ndi libumunda lya ughome lilihulwike kuhumii kunane kwenio. Mundo jhojhoha anda alile, nabhaha na ughome gwa machiko ghoha ghangapeta. Na libumunda ndi yegha jhango, jhinipiya kwa nhwalo gwa bhando bha pannema bhoha bhabhehe na ughome.”I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And this bread, which I will give for the life of the world, is My flesh.”

52Bhahe, Akayahude bhajhakutumbuu kutaungana kwa lilaka pakate jhabhe, “Bho, mundo jhonjo nahotola bhole kutupekeya yegha yake tulyeghe?”At this, the Jews began to argue among themselves, “How can this man give us His flesh to eat?”

53Yecho ajhakwalobholela, “Chakaka ninnobholela, na kulye jhe yegha jha Mwana gwa Mundo na kunywegha miyahe jhake, ughome nahubhehe jhe nkate jhino.So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of Man, you have no life in you.

54Mundo jhojhoha jwalyegha yegha jhango na kunywegha miyahe jhango abhii na ughome gwa machiko ghoha ghangapeta, na nenga nanihyokecha lichiko lya mwicho.Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

55Nhwalo yegha yango ndi ndalilo jha chakaka, na miyahe jhango ndi kinywelekelo chakaka.For My flesh is real food, and My blood is real drink.

56Mundo jhojhoha jwalyegha yegha jhango na kunywe miyahe jhango, jwenio natama nkate jhango, na nenga nitama nkate jhake.Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood remains in Me, and I in him.

57Ngita Tate jwabhii na ughome andumite, na nenga nitama kwa nhwalo gwake, helahela mundo jwalyegha yegha jhango nalama kwa nhwalo jha nenga.Just as the living Father sent Me and I live because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on Me will live because of Me.

58Bhahe, chenje ndi chakulya chikihulwike kuhumii kunane kwa Chapanga, chi ngita mana ibhalila akahokolo bhino na bhajhakuwegha. Nambo mundo jwalyegha libumunda lende nabhaha na ughome gwa machiko ghoha ghangapeta.”This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your fathers, who ate the manna and died, the one who eats this bread will live forever.”

59Yecho alongila malobhe gheniya pabholita munyumba jha kukonganikii Akayahude ku Kapelenaumo.Jesus said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.

60Bhahe, bhando bhamahele pakate jha bhabholwa bhake pubhajhohina malobhe gheniya, bhajhakulonge “Mabholo ghanga ghanonwipe! Bho, ghane nahotola kughajheketela?”On hearing it, many of His disciples said, “This is a difficult teaching. Who can accept it?”

61Yecho akamanye kubhehe bhabholwa bhake bhatehila kukokoleka panane jha malobhe gheniya, bhahe, ajhakwakonya, “Bho, nhwalo gwa nike mabholo ghanga ghauhengelecha mwojho?Aware that His disciples were grumbling about this teaching, Jesus asked them, “Does this offend you?

62Naibhaha bhole, pala pumpapala kummona Mwana gwa Mundo akikelebhuka kwahumila kunane kwa Chapanga?Then what will happen if you see the Son of Man ascend to where He was before?

63Uhuke gwa Chapanga ndi jwaleta ughome, nambo likakala lya mundo kilebhe nacho. Malobhe gheniya ghuninnobholela ghihuma kwa Uhuke gwa Chapanga na ghileta ughome gwa machiko ghoha gwangapeta.The Spirit gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life.

64Nambo bhange pakate jhino bhanyekete jhe.” Yecho alongela gheniya akamanye kuhumii makacho bhala bhangannyeketela, na hele jhola jwapala kunyambila.However, there are some of you who do not believe.” (For Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray Him.)

65Yecho ajhendilila kulonge, “Kwa nhwalo ghongo nikannobholile abhii jhe mundo jwapala kuhotola kuhika kwa nenga ade atangatilwe na Tate gwango.”Then Jesus said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to Me unless the Father has granted it to him.”

66Bhahe, kwa nhwalo gwa malobhe gheniya, pakate jha bhabholwa bhala bhamahele kuhengeleka mwojho, na bhakankengime jhe kabhele.From that time on many of His disciples turned back and no longer walked with Him.

67Yecho ajhakwakonya bhabholwa bhake kome na bhabhele bhala, “Na mangota mwenga mipala kubhoka helahela?”So Jesus asked the Twelve, “Do you want to leave too?”

68Simone Petile ajhakujhanguu, “Bhambo, na tujhenda kwa ghane? Mwenga milongela malobhe gha ughome gwa machiko ghoha gwangapeta.Simon Peter replied, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.

69Twenga tujheketile na tumanyite mwenga ndi Mwanyahinyahi jhuhumii kwa Chapanga.”We believe and know that You are the Holy One of God.”

70Yecho ajhakwakonya, “Bho, nikahaghuline ndeka mangota kome na bhabhele? Nambo jhumo pakate jhino ndi Limbembela!”Jesus answered them, “Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil!”

71Malobhe gheniya Yecho alongila panane jha Yuda, mwana gwa Simone Isikaliote, pakate jha bhala bhabholwa kome na bhabhele ndi jhonjo jwapala kunyambila Yecho.He was speaking about Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. For although Judas was one of the Twelve, he was later to betray Jesus.
