John 6 (LIN) · Opened

1Sima na yango, Yesu akendeki na ngambo mosusu ya ebale ya Galile oyo babengaka mpe ebale ya Tiberiade.After this, Jesus crossed to the other side of the Sea of Galilee (that is, the Sea of Tiberias).

2Bato ebele bazalaki kolanda Ye mpo ete bazalaki komona bikamwa oyo azalaki kosala na banzoto ya babeli.A large crowd followed Him because they saw the signs He was performing on the sick.

3Yango wana Yesu amataki na ngomba mpe avandaki kuna elongo na bayekoli na Ye.Then Jesus went up on the mountain and sat down with His disciples.

4Nzokande Pasika, feti ya Bayuda, ekomaki pene.Now the Jewish Feast of the Passover was near.

5Tango Yesu atombolaki miso, amonaki ebele ya bato penza koya epai na Ye ; alobaki na Filipo : — Tokosomba mapa wapi mpo na koleisa bato oyo nyonso ?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?”

6Yesu atunaki Filipo motuna oyo mpo na komeka ye mpe kotala soki akoloba nini, pamba te Ye, Yesu, ayebaki makambo oyo alingaki kosala.But He was asking this to test him, for He knew what He was about to do.

7Filipo azongiselaki Yesu : — Mapa oyo tokoki kosomba na mbongo ya bibende nkama mibale ekokoka te mpo ete moto moko na moko kati na bango azwa eteni ya lipa !Philip answered, “Two hundred denarii would not buy enough bread for each of them to have a small piece.”

8Moko kati na bayekoli na Ye, oyo kombo na ye ezali Andre, ndeko mobali ya Simona Petelo, alobaki na Ye :One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to Him,

9— Ezali awa na elenge mobali moko oyo azali na mapa mitano basala na bambuma ya orje, mpe bambisi mibale ; kasi yango ekosala nini mpo na ebele ya bato oyo ?“Here is a boy with five barley loaves and two small fish. But what difference will these make among so many?”

10Yesu apesaki bango mitindo : — Boloba na bato nyonso ete bavanda. Boye, lokola ezalaki na matiti ebele na esika yango, bavandaki. Ezalaki wana na mibali pene nkoto mitano.“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.

11Bongo Yesu azwaki mapa yango, azongisaki matondi epai ya Nzambe mpe akabolaki yango epai ya bato oyo bazalaki wana ; asalaki mpe bongo na bambisi : bato bazwaki kolanda ndenge posa na bango ezalaki.Then Jesus took the loaves and the fish, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted.

12Sima na bato kolia mpe kotonda, Yesu alobaki na bayekoli na Ye : — Bosangisa biteni oyo etikali mpo ete eteni moko te ebeba.And when everyone was full, He said to His disciples, “Gather the pieces that are left over, so that nothing will be wasted.”

13Basangisaki biteni yango ; mpe na biteni ya mapa mitano basala na bambuma ya orje, oyo etikalaki na maboko ya bato oyo baliaki, batondisaki bitunga zomi na mibale.So they collected them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten.

14Tango bato bamonaki bikamwa oyo Yesu awutaki kosala, balobaki : « Azali penza Mosakoli oyo asengelaki koya na mokili. »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.”

15Kasi, lokola Yesu ayebaki ete bazali na makanisi ya kokamata Ye mpo na kokomisa Ye mokonzi, abendanaki lisusu na ngomba mpo ete azala kaka Ye moko.Then Jesus, realizing that they were about to come and make Him king by force, withdrew again to a mountain by Himself.

16Tango pokwa ekomaki, bayekoli na Ye bakitaki na ebaleWhen evening came, His disciples went down to the sea,

17epai wapi bamataki na bwato moko, bakatisaki ebale mpo na kokende na Kapernawumi, na ngambo mosusu ya ebale. Butu ekotaki, wana Yesu amikomelaki nanu te epai bango bakomaki.got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was already dark, and Jesus had not yet gone out to them.

18Ekumbaki moko ebandaki kopepa, mpe mayi ya ebale etombokaki.A strong wind was blowing, and the sea grew agitated.

19Awa basilaki koluka nkayi na molayi ya bakilometele pene mitano to motoba, bamonaki Yesu kotambola likolo ya mayi ya ebale mpe kopusana pene ya bwato ; somo makasi ekangaki bango.When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the sea—and they were terrified.

20Kasi Yesu alobaki na bango : « Kimia ! Kimia ! Bobanga te ! Ezali Ngai ! »But Jesus spoke up: “It is I; do not be afraid.”

21Balingaki kokotisa Yesu na bwato, kasi, mbala moko, bwato etutaki mabele ya esika oyo bazalaki kokende.Then they were willing to take Him into the boat, and at once the boat reached the shore where they were heading.

22Mokolo oyo elandaki, bato oyo batikalaki na ngambo mosusu ya ebale bayaki kokanisa na sima ete ezalaki kaka na bwato moko, mpe ete Yesu akendeki bwato moko te na bayekoli na Ye ; bayekoli bakendeki bango moko kaka.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.

23Nzokande, babwato mosusu ewutaki na Tiberiade mpe ekomaki pene ya esika oyo baliaki mapa sima na Nkolo kozongisa matondi epai ya Nzambe.However, some boats from Tiberias landed near the place where the people had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

24Tango bato bamonaki ete, ezala Yesu to bayekoli na Ye, moko te azalaki lisusu wana, bamataki na babwato yango mpe bakendeki koluka Yesu, na Kapernawumi.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.

25Tango bakutaki Ye na ngambo mosusu ya ebale, batunaki Ye : — Rabi, okomaki awa tango nini ?When they found Him on the other side of the sea, they asked Him, “Rabbi, when did You get here?”

26Yesu azongiselaki bango : — Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo : soki bozali koluka Ngai, ezali kaka mpo ete boliaki mapa mpe botondaki, kasi ezali te mpo ete bomonaki bikamwa.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.

27Bosalaka te mpo na bilei oyo ebebaka, kasi bosalaka mpo na bilei oyo ewumelaka mpo na bomoi ya seko, bilei oyo Mwana na Moto akopesa bino ; pamba te ezali Ye nde Nzambe Tata abeta kashe.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.”

28Batunaki Ye lisusu : — Tosengeli kosala nini mpo na kokokisa misala oyo Nzambe azali kozela epai na biso ?Then they inquired, “What must we do to perform the works of God?”

29Yesu azongiselaki bango : — Mosala ya Nzambe, yango oyo : bondima Ye oyo Nzambe atindaki.Jesus replied, “The work of God is this: to believe in the One He has sent.”

30Batunaki Ye lisusu : — Elembo nini ya kokamwa okolakisa biso mpo ete tondima Yo ? Okosala penza nini ?So they asked Him, “What sign then will You perform, so that we may see it and believe You? What will You do?

31Bakoko na biso baliaki mana kati na esobe kolanda ndenge ekomama : « Apesaki bango lipa kowuta na Likolo. »Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, as it is written: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’”

32Kasi Yesu azongiselaki bango : — Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo : ezali Moyize te moto apesaki bino lipa oyo ezalaki kowuta na Likolo, kasi ezali Tata na Ngai nde apesaka bino lipa ya solo oyo ewutaka na Likolo.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.

33Pamba te lipa ya Nzambe ezali Ye oyo akiti wuta na Likolo mpe apesaka mokili bomoi.For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”

34Bongo balobaki na Ye : — Nkolo, pesaka biso lipa yango tango nyonso.“Sir,” they said, “give us this bread at all times.”

35Yesu azongiselaki bango : — Ngai nazali lipa oyo epesaka bomoi. Moto nyonso oyo akoya epai na Ngai akoyoka lisusu nzala te, mpe moto nyonso oyo akondima Ngai akoyoka lisusu posa ya mayi te.Jesus answered, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to Me will never hunger, and whoever believes in Me will never thirst.

36Nzokande, ndenge nayebisaki bino, bozali komona Ngai, kasi bozali kondima te.But as I stated, you have seen Me and still you do not believe.

37Bato nyonso oyo Tata apesi Ngai bakoya epai na Ngai, mpe nakobengana soki moke te moto nyonso oyo akoya epai na Ngai.Everyone the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will never drive away.

38Pamba te soki nakitaki wuta na Likolo, ezali te mpo na kosala mokano na Ngai moko, kasi mpo na kokokisa mokano ya Ye oyo atindaki Ngai.For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but to do the will of Him who sent Me.

39Nzokande, Ye oyo atindaki Ngai alingi ete nabungisa ata moto moko te kati na bato oyo apesaki Ngai, kasi nasekwisa bango na mokolo ya suka.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.

40Pamba te mokano ya Tata na Ngai ezali ete moto nyonso oyo amoni Mwana mpe andimi Ye azwa bomoi ya seko ; mpe, Ngai, nakosekwisa ye na mokolo ya suka.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.”

41Bayuda bakomaki koyimayima na tina na Ye mpo ete alobaki : « Ngai, nazali lipa oyo ekiti wuta na Likolo. »At this, the Jews began to grumble about Jesus because He had said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.”

42Bakomaki koloba : — Boni, wana ezali Yesu te ? Ezali mwana mobali ya Jozefi te ? Toyebi malamu tata mpe mama na ye ! Bongo ndenge nini azali koloba : « Nawuti na Likolo ? »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’?”

43Yesu azongiselaki bango : — Botika koyimayima kati na bino !“Stop grumbling among yourselves,” Jesus replied.

44Moto moko te akoki koya epai na Ngai soki Tata oyo atindaki Ngai abendi ye te ; mpe Ngai, nakosekwisa ye na mokolo ya suka.“No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.

45Tala ndenge ekomama kati na mikanda ya Basakoli : « Nzambe akoteya bango nyonso. » Boye moto nyonso oyo ayokaka Tata mpe ayambaka mateya na Ye ayaka epai na Ngai.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—

46Moto moko te amona Tata, longola kaka Ye oyo ayaki wuta epai ya Nzambe.not that anyone has seen the Father except the One who is from God; only He has seen the Father.

47Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo : moto oyo andimi azali na bomoi ya seko,Truly, truly, I tell you, he who believes has eternal life.

48pamba te nazali lipa oyo epesaka bomoi.I am the bread of life.

49Bakoko na bino baliaki mana kati na esobe mpe bakufaki,Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died.

50kasi botala lipa oyo ewuti na Likolo ; moto oyo akolia yango akokufa te.This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that anyone may eat of it and not die.

51Ngai nde nazali lipa ya bomoi oyo ewuti na Likolo ; moto nyonso oyo akolia lipa yango, akozala na bomoi ya seko ; mpe lipa oyo nakopesa mpo ete mokili ezwa bomoi ezali nde nzoto na Ngai.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.”

52Tango Bayuda bayokaki bongo, bakomaki kotiana tembe ; bazalaki koloba : — Akopesa biso nzoto na ye ndenge nini mpo ete tolia yango ?At this, the Jews began to argue among themselves, “How can this man give us His flesh to eat?”

53Bongo Yesu alobaki na bango : — Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo : soki bolie nzoto ya Mwana na Moto te mpe bomeli makila na Ye te, bozali na bomoi te kati na bino.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.

54Moto oyo alie nzoto na Ngai mpe ameli makila na Ngai, azali na bomoi ya seko ; mpe Ngai, nakosekwisa ye na mokolo ya suka.Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

55Pamba te nzoto na Ngai ezali penza bilei, mpe makila na Ngai ezali penza lokola mayi oyo bamelaka.For My flesh is real food, and My blood is real drink.

56Moto oyo alie nzoto na Ngai mpe ameli makila na Ngai azali kati na Ngai, mpe Ngai nazali kati na ye.Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood remains in Me, and I in him.

57Ndenge Tata oyo atindaki Ngai azali etima ya bomoi mpe Ngai nazali na bomoi na nzela na Ye, ndenge wana mpe moto oyo alie nzoto na Ngai akozala na bomoi na nzela na Ngai.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.

58Tala ndenge lipa oyo ewuti na Likolo ezali : ekokani te na mana oyo bakoko na bino baliaki, kasi bakufaki kaka ; nzokande, moto oyo akolia lipa oyo Ngai nazali akozala na bomoi ya seko.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.”

59Wana nde ezalaki mateya ya Yesu kati na ndako ya mayangani ya Kapernawumi.Jesus said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.

60Sima na koyoka Ye, bayekoli mingi ya Yesu balobaki : — Mateya oyo ezali makasi mingi, nani akoki kondima yango ?On hearing it, many of His disciples said, “This is a difficult teaching. Who can accept it?”

61Yesu asosolaki ete bayekoli na Ye bazalaki koyimayima na tina na yango ; alobaki na bango : — Boni, maloba oyo ebetisi bino mabaku ?Aware that His disciples were grumbling about this teaching, Jesus asked them, “Does this offend you?

62Bongo ekozala ndenge nini soki bomoni Mwana na Moto kozonga epai Ye azalaki liboso ?Then what will happen if you see the Son of Man ascend to where He was before?

63Ezali Molimo nde apesaka bomoi ; mosuni ezali na eloko te. Maloba oyo nalobi na bino ezali Molimo mpe bomoi.The Spirit gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life.

64Kasi bato mosusu kati na bino bazali kondima te. Solo, wuta na ebandeli, Yesu ayebaki banani bazalaki kondima te, mpe nani akoteka Ye.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.)

65Alobaki lisusu : — Yango wana nalobaki na bino : « Moto moko te akoki koya epai na Ngai soki epesameli ye te na Tata. »Then Jesus said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to Me unless the Father has granted it to him.”

66Banda na tango wana, bayekoli na Ye mingi bazongaki mpe batikaki kolanda Ye.From that time on many of His disciples turned back and no longer walked with Him.

67Boye, Yesu alobaki na bantoma zomi na mibale : — Boni, bino mpe bolingi kokende ?So Jesus asked the Twelve, “Do you want to leave too?”

68Simona Petelo azongisaki : — Nkolo, tokokende epai ya nani ? Yo nde ozali na maloba ya bomoi ya seko.Simon Peter replied, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.

69Biso, tondimi mpe toyebi ete ozali Mosantu ya Nzambe.We believe and know that You are the Holy One of God.”

70Yesu alobaki na bango : — Boni, ezali Ngai te nde naponaki bino nyonso zomi na mibale ? Nzokande, moko kati na bino azali Satana !Jesus answered them, “Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil!”

71Yesu azalaki nde koloba na tina na Yuda, mwana mobali ya Simona Isikarioti, oyo, kati na bantoma zomi na mibale, asengelaki koteka Ye.He was speaking about Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. For although Judas was one of the Twelve, he was later to betray Jesus.
