John 6 (MPA) · Opened

1Paakajomwi ghanihagha Yesu akalombwiki kwihi ja Bahali ja Galilaya, au ghoulowakeka Bahali ja Tibelia.After this, Jesus crossed to the other side of the Sea of Galilee (that is, the Sea of Tiberias).

2Na lipgha likolongwa la bhandu lakunjengalile, kwa ndandi bhakaiweni ngangachu yeakabhahengi bhatamwa.A large crowd followed Him because they saw the signs He was performing on the sick.

3Bhela Yesu akakweliki kuchitombi, na akatami konihoku papamu na bhabhulwa bhaki.Then Jesus went up on the mountain and sat down with His disciples.

4Na chikahi cha uwangalalu wa Pasaka ja Bhayahude, chakabhi chiheghalile.Now the Jewish Feast of the Passover was near.

5Bhela Yesu paakalingalili, na kulibhona lipogha likolongwa la bhandu lihika kwaki, akumpwaghi Filipo, “Bho, tuhemala kwaku mabumunda, nahuli bhandu abhabha bhapata kula?”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?”

6Na leniheli akalongi nahuli kundenga Filipo, kwa ndandi akamanyiki mweni leanahengaje.But He was asking this to test him, for He knew what He was about to do.

7Filipo akamuyangike, “Mabumunda gha ipandi mia mbili ya madini gha feza ngaghabhajaghanile, hata ngati kila jumu wabhu anaapatiki chipandi kichokope.”Philip answered, “Two hundred denarii would not buy enough bread for each of them to have a small piece.”

8Jumu wa bhabhulwa bhaki joalowakeka Andulea, ndongu waka Simoni Petulu, akumpwaghile,One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to Him,

9“Pambani abhi nkombu jumu, joabhi na mabumunda nhwano gha shaili, na homba ibheli. Bho, nambu hayeyi anaijaghanya kiki kwa bhandu bhamaheli ngati abhabha?”“Here is a boy with five barley loaves and two small fish. But what difference will these make among so many?”

10Yesu akapwaghike, “Mwatamika bhandu pahi.” Na pandu pala pakabhi na manyonyoli ghamaheli. Bhela akanalomi bhakatami, ngati bhandu elufu nhwano jumula jabhu.“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.

11Bhela Yesu akaghatoliki mabumunda ghala, akunchengwi Chapanga, na kubhapekeha bhabhulwa bhaki, na bhabhulwa bhakabhaghabhi bhandu bhabhakabhi bhatami, bhelabhela na homba yela kulengana na mobhapalilaje.Then Jesus took the loaves and the fish, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted.

12Na bhandu bhokapi pabhakatupile, akabhapwaghi bhabhulwa bhaki, “Mbonganaje ipandi yeihighalile, ngachihobha chokapi.”And when everyone was full, He said to His disciples, “Gather the pieces that are left over, so that nothing will be wasted.”

13Bhela bhakaibhongini papamu, na kutwelakela itonga komi na ibhele kubhokana na mabumunda nhwanu gha shaili ghala, ghabhakahighakile bhandu bhala bhabhakulike.So they collected them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten.

14Bhela bhandu bhala, pabhajiweni nginyulila jeakahengiki Yesu, bhakapwaghike, “Chakaka hajoju nde Mlota waka Chapanga jola joakapwaghiki anahika pani pundema.”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.”

15Bhela Yesu paakamanyiki kubha bhakapaliki kuhika kunkamula kwa makili, nahuli bhumbeka kubha Nkolongwa wabhu, akabhokiki kabhete, na kujenda kuchitombi jombi kanjika jaki.Then Jesus, realizing that they were about to come and make Him king by force, withdrew again to a mountain by Himself.

16Hata pakwabhi pakamihi bhabhulwa bhaka Yesu bhakahelili ku bahali,When evening came, His disciples went down to the sea,

17bhakakweliki mu liboti, na kutumbula kulomboka bahali kujenda ku Kapelenaumu. Chikahi hechi kukabhi lwihi lujingile, na Yesu akabhi akali ngakubhahikila.got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was already dark, and Jesus had not yet gone out to them.

18Bahali jakatumbwi kuhakula kwa kupogha mpongu ukolongwa.A strong wind was blowing, and the sea grew agitated.

19Bhela pabhakabhi bhahughiki ingahe na kujenda utali wa kilometa nhwanu au sita, bhakumbweni Yesu akajendaje panani ja machi na kuliheghalela liboti, bhakajowipi namaa.When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the sea—and they were terrified.

20Yesu akabhapwaghile, “Nde nepane, ngamwijoghopa!”But Jesus spoke up: “It is I; do not be afraid.”

21Bhela bhakapaliki kuntola Yesu mu liboti, na chikahi chelachela liboti lakahikiki mumaheku ja kobhakabhi bhajenda.Then they were willing to take Him into the boat, and at once the boat reached the shore where they were heading.

22Chilabhu jaki lipogha la bhandu lelajemiki kwihi ja bahali bhakaweni kubha njeta liboti lengi konihoku nambu liboti limu pela, na bhakamanyiki kubha Yesu ngacheakajingi mu liboti lela papamu na bhabhulwa bhaki, nambu bhabhulwa bhaki bhakapiti kanjika jabhu.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.

23Nambu ghakahikiki maboti ghangi kuhuma ku Tibelia mbaka pambipi na pandu pala lipogha likolongwa la bhandu pabhakulikaje mabumunda, chikahi Bambo paakunchengwi Chapanga.However, some boats from Tiberias landed near the place where the people had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

24Bhela lipogha la bhandu palaweni kubha Yesu ngacheabhi konihoku wala bhabhulwa bhaki, bhakajingili mu maboti ghangi bheni, na kujenda ku Kapelenaumu nahuli kundonda Yesu.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.

25Hata pabhakunhimanili kwihi ja bahali, bhakundalukile, “Mbola, wehapa uhikiki lile pambane?”When they found Him on the other side of the sea, they asked Him, “Rabbi, when did You get here?”

26Yesu akabhayangiki, na kubhapwaghila, “Chakaka, numpwaghila, mwenga mnonda nepani nga kwa ndandi mkaweni nginyulila, nambu maghambu mkakuliki mabumunda ghala, na kutupila.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.

27Ngamwachihenge lihengu chilebhi chechiyonangeka, nambu chilebhi chechitamakila mbaka womi wa mileli, ambachu Mwana waka Mundu anaampekyaje, kwa ndandi jonihoju nde joajeghaliki muhuli na Chapanga Atati.”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.”

28Bhela bhakumpwaghile, “Bho, tutenda bholi nahuli tupata kughahenga mahengu ghaka Chapanga?”Then they inquired, “What must we do to perform the works of God?”

29Yesu akabhayangiki, na kubhapwaghila, “Haleli nde lihengu laka Chapanga, kubha munhobhalyaje jola joatumakiki najombi.”Jesus replied, “The work of God is this: to believe in the One He has sent.”

30Bhakumpwaghile, “Bho, anauhenga nginyulila bhole nahuli tujibhonaje na tupata kuhobhalela? Bho, anauhenga lihengu bhole?So they asked Him, “What sign then will You perform, so that we may see it and believe You? What will You do?

31Akahokolu bhitu bhakakuliki mana kulipololu ngati moilembakike mu Malembelu Mahuhu, ‘Akabhapeki mana kuhuma kunani kumahunde nahuli bhakulaje.’ ”Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, as it is written: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’”

32Yesu akabhapwaghile, “Chakaka, numpwaghila, nga Musa joakumpeki mabumunda kuhuma kunani kumahunde, nambu Chapanga Atati wangu nde joampekeha mwehapa mabumunda gha chakaka kuhuma kunani kumahunde.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.

33Kwa ndandi libumunda laka Chapanga nde jola joahelela kuhuma kunani kumahunde, na kuupekeha ndema womi.”For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”

34Bhela bhakumpwaghile, “Bambo, machobha ghokapi utupekyaje libumunda leniheli.”“Sir,” they said, “give us this bread at all times.”

35Yesu akabhapwaghile, “Nepani nde libumunda la womi. Jokapi joahika kwangu nepani ngayibhoni injala ng'o, na jola joanhobhale nepani ngayibhoni inywita ng'o.Jesus answered, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to Me will never hunger, and whoever believes in Me will never thirst.

36Nambu numpwaghile kubha, njomwi kumona, nambu mwakali ngachemuhobhalela.But as I stated, you have seen Me and still you do not believe.

37Bhokapi bhaambeke Atati anabhahika kwangu, kabheti jokapi joahika kwangu nganundekeli kunja ng'o.Everyone the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will never drive away.

38Kwa ndandi ngachenheli kuhuma kunani kumahunde nahuli kuhenga ngati mombali nepani, nambu nhenga mapalu ghaka jola joandumike.For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but to do the will of Him who sent Me.

39Na mapalu ghaka jola joandumike nde aghagha, ja kubha kwa bhokapi bhaambekihe nganunhoa hata jumu, nambu nimuyoha kabhete mu lichobha la kujomukela.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.

40Kwa ndandi mapalu gha Atati wangu nde aghagha, ja kubha kila joandingalila Mwana na kunhobhalela jombi, akubhaje na womi wa mileli, na nepani ananimuyohaje mu lichobha la kujomukela.”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.”

41Bhela Bhayahude bhakutumbwi kung'ong'uteka, kwa ndandi akapwaghiki, “Nepani nde libumunda lelihelile kuhuma kunani kunahundi.”At this, the Jews began to grumble about Jesus because He had said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.”

42Bhakapwaghike, “Bho, hajoju le nga Yesu, mwana waka Yusufu, jotummanyi atati waki na mabhu waki? Bho, henu apwagha bhole kubha, ‘Nhelili kuhuma kunani kumahunde?’ ”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’?”

43Bhela Yesu akayangiki, na kubhapwaghila, “Ngamwing'ong'uteka mabheti kwa mabheti.”“Stop grumbling among yourselves,” Jesus replied.

44Nga mundu joaweza kuhika kwangu nepani, nangakuhutwa na Atati joandumike, na nepani ananimuyohaje mu lichobha la kujomukela.“No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.

45Ilembakiki mu Malembu gha bhalota bhaka Chapanga, “Bhandu bhokapi anabhabholakikaje na Chapanga.” Bhela kila mundu joanjowana Atati, na kulibhola kuhuma kwaki, jonihoju ahika kwangu nepani.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—

46Njeta mundu joambweni Atati, nambu jombi joahuma kwaka Chapanga, jonihoju nde joambweni Atati.not that anyone has seen the Father except the One who is from God; only He has seen the Father.

47Chakaka numpwaghila, jombi joanhobhalela nepani abhi na womi wa mileli.Truly, truly, I tell you, he who believes has eternal life.

48Nepani nde libumunda la womi.I am the bread of life.

49Akahokolu bhinu bhakakuliki mana kulipololu, na bhakapotile.Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died.

50Nambu lendenu nde libumunda lelihelili kuhuma kunani kumahunde, na kubha mundu aweza kula, na wala ngayipotele.This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that anyone may eat of it and not die.

51Nepani nde libumunda lelihelili kuhuma kunani kumahunde, mundu anaakuliki libumunda lenu, anaatamaje mileli. Na libumunda lemoha nepani nde hyegha jangu, jenijibhoha kwa ndandi ja womi wa bhandu bha pundema.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.”

52Bhela Bhayahude bhakalochini bheni kwa bheni, bhakapwaghaje, “Bho, aweza bholi mundu ajoju kutupekeha tepani hyegha jaki nahuli tukulaje?”At this, the Jews began to argue among themselves, “How can this man give us His flesh to eat?”

53Bhela Yesu akabhapwaghile, “Chakaka, numpwaghila, ngati ngachemkula hyegha jaka Mwana waka Mundu, na kunywa mwahi waki, ngachembi na womi mkati jinu.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.

54Joakula hyegha jangu, na kunywa mwahi wangu, abhi na womi wa mileli, na nepani ananimuyohaje mu lichobha la kujomukela.Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

55Kwa ndandi hyegha jangu nde chilebhi cha chakaka, na mwahi wangu nde chakunywa cha chakaka.For My flesh is real food, and My blood is real drink.

56Joakula hyegha jangu, na kunywa mwahi wangu, atama mkati jangu, na nepani ndama mkati jaki.Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood remains in Me, and I in him.

57Ngati Atati joabhi mwome moandumi nepani, na nepani mili mwome kwa Atati, bhelabhela jola joangula nepani, anaakubha mwome kwangu nepani.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.

58Lendenu nde libumunda lelihelile kuhuma kunani kumahunde, nga ngati akahokolu bhinu mobhakakuli mana, na kupotela, nambu jola joakula libumunda lendenu anaatamaje mileli.”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.”

59Yesu akapwaghiki malobhi ghanihagha paakabhi abhola mu nyumba ja kuhimanganila Bhayahude, ku Kapelenaumu hoku.Jesus said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.

60Bhela bhandu bhamaheli pachilanda ja bhabhulwa bhaki pabhakajowini lijambu leniheli, bhakapwaghike, “Mambu aghagha nde ghanonwipe, bho, mundu bholi joaweza kughajowanela?”On hearing it, many of His disciples said, “This is a difficult teaching. Who can accept it?”

61Najombi Yesu akamanyi muntima waki kubha bhabhulwa bhaki bhaling'ong'utakela lijambu leniheli, akabhapwaghile, “Bho, lijambu haleli le luntenda kuhakalila?Aware that His disciples were grumbling about this teaching, Jesus asked them, “Does this offend you?

62Bho, henu anakukubha bhole pamwambona Mwana waka Mundu akagholukaje kujenda kola koakabhi pakutumbula?Then what will happen if you see the Son of Man ascend to where He was before?

63Roho Mhuhu nde joajeghela womi, hyegha jaka mundu ngachejibhi na chindu ndeka. Nambu malobhi ghanihagha ghanumpwaghile nde Roho, kabheti nde womi.The Spirit gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life.

64Nambu kubhi na bhangi pachilanda jinu bhangakuhobhalela.” Kwa ndandi Yesu akamanyiki kutumbu pa kutumbulila kubha nde bhangakuhobhalela, najombi nde nane joamung'anambukaje.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.)

65Akapwaghike, “Kwa ndandi jeniheji nukumpwaghili kubha nga mundu joaweza kuhika kwangu nepani, pangakujangatiwa na Atati wangu.”Then Jesus said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to Me unless the Father has granted it to him.”

66Kwa ndandi ja ghanihagha bhamaheli pachilanda ja bhabhulwa bhaki bhakakelawiki kunyuma, na ngachebhalongini naku kabhete.From that time on many of His disciples turned back and no longer walked with Him.

67Bhela Yesu akabhalalukili bhabhulwa bhaki komi na bhabheli bhala, “Bho, mwehapa nanamu mpala kubhoka?”So Jesus asked the Twelve, “Do you want to leave too?”

68Bhela Simoni Petulu akamuyangike, “Bombo, bho, tujenda kwaka nane? Wehapa ubhi na mabholu ghaghaleta womi wa mileli.Simon Peter replied, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.

69Na tepani tuhobhalela, kabheti tumanyi, ja kubha wehapa nde Kristo, Mhuhu waka Chapanga.”We believe and know that You are the Holy One of God.”

70Yesu akabhayangike, “Bho, nepani ngachenunhawili mwenga komi na bhabheli, na jumu winu nde Shetani?”Jesus answered them, “Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil!”

71Panihapa Yesu akabhi andongalela Yuda, mwana waka Simoni Isikalioti, ndandi jonihoju nde joamung'anambukaje, najombi nde jumu wa bhabhulwa komi na bhabheli bhala.He was speaking about Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. For although Judas was one of the Twelve, he was later to betray Jesus.
