¹After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.

¹ከዚህ በኋላ ኢየሱስ ወደ ገሊላ ባሕር ማዶ ተሻገረ፤ እርሱም የጥብርያዶስ ባሕር ነው።

²And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.

²በበሽተኞችም ያደረገውን ምልክቶች ስላዩ ብዙ ሕዝብ ተከተሉት።

³And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.

³ኢየሱስም ወደ ተራራ ወጣና በዚያ ከደቀ መዛሙርቱ ጋር ተቀመጠ።

⁴And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.

⁴የአይሁድ በዓልም ፋሲካ ቀርቦ ነበር።

⁵When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?

⁵ኢየሱስም ዓይኖቹን አንሥቶ ብዙ ሕዝብ ወደ እርሱ ሲመጣ አየና ፊልጶስን። እነዚህ እንዲበሉ እንጀራ ከወዴት እንገዛለን? አለው።

⁶And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.

⁶ራሱ ሊያደርግ ያለውን ያውቅ ነበርና ሊፈትነው ይህን ተናገረ።

⁷Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.

⁷ፊልጶስ። እያንዳንዳቸው ትንሽ ትንሽ እንኳ እንዲቀበሉ የሁለት መቶ ዲናር እንጀራ አይበቃቸውም ብሎ መለሰለት።

⁸One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him,

⁸ከደቀ መዛሙርቱ አንዱ የስምዖን ጴጥሮስ ወንድም እንድርያስ።

⁹There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?

⁹አምስት የገብስ እንጀራና ሁለት ዓሣ የያዘ ብላቴና በዚህ አለ፤ ነገር ግን እነዚህን ለሚያህሉ ሰዎች ይህ ምን ይሆናል? አለው።

¹⁰And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

¹⁰ኢየሱስም። ሰዎቹን እንዲቀመጡ አድርጉ አለ። በዚያም ስፍራ ብዙ ሣር ነበረበት። ወንዶችም ተቀመጡ ቍጥራቸውም አምስት ሺህ የሚያህል ነበር።

¹¹And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.

¹¹ኢየሱስም እንጀራውን ያዘ፥ አመስግኖም ለደቀ መዛሙርቱ ሰጠ፥ ደቀ መዛሙርቱም ለተቀመጡት ሰዎች ሰጡአቸው እንዲሁም ከዓሣው በፈለጉት መጠን።

¹²When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.

¹²ከጠገቡም በኋላ ደቀ መዛሙርቱን። አንድ ስንኳ እንዳይጠፋ የተረፈውን ቍርስራሽ አከማቹ አላቸው።

¹³Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.

¹³ሰለዚህ አከማቹ፥ ከበሉትም ከአምስቱ የገብስ እንጀራ የተረፈውን ቍርስራሽ አሥራ ሁለት መሶብ ሞሉ።

¹⁴Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.

¹⁴ከዚህ የተነሣ ሰዎቹ ኢየሱስ ያደረገውን ምልክት ባዩ ጊዜ። ይህ በእውነት ወደ ዓለም የሚመጣው ነቢይ ነው አሉ።

¹⁵When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.

¹⁵በዚህም ምክንያት ኢየሱስ ያነግሡት ዘንድ ሊመጡና ሊነጥቁት እንዳላቸው አውቆ ደግሞ ወደ ተራራ ብቻውን ፈቀቅ አለ።

¹⁶And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea,

¹⁶በመሸም ጊዜ ደቀ መዛሙርቱ ወደ ባሕር ወረዱ፥

¹⁷And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them.

¹⁷በታንኳም ገብተው በባሕር ማዶ ወደ ቅፍርናሆም ይመጡ ነበር። አሁንም ጨልሞ ነበር፤ ኢየሱስም ገና ወደ እነርሱ አልመጣም ነበር፤

¹⁸And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.

¹⁸ብርቱ ነፋስም ስለ ነፈሰ ባሕሩ ተናወጠ።

¹⁹So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid.

¹⁹ሀያ አምስት ወይም ሠላሳ ምዕራፍ ከቀዘፉ በኋላም፥ ኢየሱስ በባሕር ላይ እየሄደ ወደ ታንኳይቱ ሲቀርብ አይተው ፈሩ።

²⁰But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.

²⁰እርሱ ግን። እኔ ነኝ፤ አትፍሩ አላቸው።

²¹Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.

²¹ስለዚህ በታንኳይቱ ሊቀበሉት ወደዱ፤ ወዲያውም ታንኳይቱ ወደሚሄዱበት ምድር ደረሰች።

²²The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were gone away alone;

²²በነገው በባሕር ማዶ ቆመው የነበሩ ሕዝቡ ከአንዲት ጀልባ በቀር በዚያ ሌላ ጀልባ እንዳልነበረች፥ ደቀ መዛሙርቱም ለብቻቸው እንደ ሄዱ እንጂ ኢየሱስ ከደቀ መዛሙርቱ ጋር ወደ ታንኳይቱ እንዳልገባ አዩ፤

²³(Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:)

²³ዳሩ ግን ሌሎች ጀልባዎች ጌታ የባረከውን እንጀራ ወደ በሉበት ስፍራ አጠገብ ከጥብርያዶስ መጡ።

²⁴When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.

²⁴ሕዝቡም ኢየሱስ ወይም ደቀ መዛሙርቱ በዚያ እንዳልነበሩ ባዩ ጊዜ፥ ራሳቸው በጀልባዎቹ ገብተው ኢየሱስን እየፈለጉ ወደ ቅፍርናሆም መጡ።

²⁵And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?

²⁵በባሕር ማዶም ሲያገኙት። መምህር ሆይ፥ ወደዚህ መቼ መጣህ? አሉት።

²⁶Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.

²⁶ኢየሱስም መልሶ። እውነት እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ የምትፈልጉኝ እንጀራን ስለ በላችሁና ስለ ጠገባችሁ ነው እንጂ ምልክቶችን ስላያችሁ አይደለም።

²⁷Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.

²⁷ለሚጠፋ መብል አትሥሩ፤ ነገር ግን ለዘላለም ሕይወት ለሚኖር መብል የሰው ልጅ ለሚሰጣችሁ ሥሩ፤ እርሱን እግዚአብሔር አብ አትሞታልና።

²⁸Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?

²⁸እንግዲህ። የእግዚአብሔርን ሥራ እንድንሠራ ምን እናድርግ? አሉት።

²⁹Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

²⁹ኢየሱስ መልሶ። ይህ የእግዚአብሔር ሥራ እርሱ በላከው እንድታምኑ ነው አላቸው።

³⁰They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?

³⁰እንግዲህ። እንኪያ አይተን እንድናምንህ አንተ ምን ምልክት ታደርጋለህ? ምንስ ትሠራለህ?

³¹Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.

³¹ይበሉ ዘንድ ከሰማይ እንጀራ ሰጣቸው ተብሎ እንደ ተጻፈ አባቶቻችን በምድረ በዳ መና በሉ አሉት።

³²Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.

³²ኢየሱስም። እውነት እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ እውነተኛ እንጀራ ከሰማይ የሚሰጣችሁ አባቴ ነው እንጂ ከሰማይ እንጀራ የሰጣችሁ ሙሴ አይደለም፤

³³For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.

³³የእግዚአብሔር እንጀራ ከሰማይ የሚወርድ ለዓለምም ሕይወትን የሚሰጥ ነውና አላቸው።

³⁴Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.

³⁴ስለዚህ። ጌታ ሆይ፥ ይህን እንጀራ ዘወትር ስጠን አሉት።

³⁵And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

³⁵ኢየሱስም እንዲህ አላቸው። የሕይወት እንጀራ እኔ ነኝ፤ ወደ እኔ የሚመጣ ከቶ አይራብም በእኔ የሚያምንም ሁልጊዜ ከቶ አይጠማም።

³⁶But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.

³⁶ነገር ግን አይታችሁኝ እንዳላመናችሁ አልኋችሁ።

³⁷All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

³⁷አብ የሚሰጠኝ ሁሉ ወደ እኔ ይመጣል፥ ወደ እኔም የሚመጣውን ከቶ ወደ ውጭ አላወጣውም፤

³⁸For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

³⁸ፈቃዴን ለማድረግ አይደለም እንጂ የላከኝን ፈቃድ ለማድረግ ከሰማይ ወርጃለሁና።

³⁹And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

³⁹ከሰጠኝም ሁሉ አንድን ስንኳ እንዳላጠፋ በመጨረሻው ቀን እንዳስነሣው እንጂ የላከኝ የአብ ፈቃድ ይህ ነው።

⁴⁰And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

⁴⁰ልጅንም አይቶ በእርሱ የሚያምን ሁሉ የዘላለም ሕይወትን እንዲያገኝ የአባቴ ፈቃድ ይህ ነው፥ እኔም በመጨረሻው ቀን አስነሣዋለሁ።

⁴¹The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.

⁴¹እንግዲህ አይሁድ። ከሰማይ የወረደ እንጀራ እኔ ነኝ ስላለ ስለ እርሱ አንጐራጐሩና።

⁴²And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?

⁴²አባቱንና እናቱን የምናውቃቸው ይህ የዮሴፍ ልጅ ኢየሱስ አይደለምን? እንግዲህ። ከሰማይ ወርጃለሁ እንዴት ይላል? አሉ።

⁴³Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.

⁴³ኢየሱስ መለሰ አላቸውም። እርስ በርሳችሁ አታንጐራጕሩ።

⁴⁴No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

⁴⁴የላከኝ አብ ከሳበው በቀር ወደ እኔ ሊመጣ የሚችል የለም፥ እኔም በመጨረሻው ቀን አስነሣዋለሁ።

⁴⁵It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.

⁴⁵ሁሉም ከእግዚአብሔር የተማሩ ይሆናሉ ተብሎ በነቢያት ተጽፎአል፤ እንግዲህ ከአብ የሰማ የተማረም ሁሉ ወደ እኔ ይመጣል።

⁴⁶Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.

⁴⁶አብን ያየ ማንም የለም፤ ከእግዚአብሔር ከሆነ በቀር፥ እርሱ አብን አይቶአል።

⁴⁷Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.

⁴⁷እውነት እውነት እላችኋለሁ በእኔ የሚያምን የዘላለም ሕይወት አለው።

⁴⁸I am that bread of life.

⁴⁸የሕይወት እንጀራ እኔ ነኝ።

⁴⁹Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.

⁴⁹አባቶቻችሁ በምድረ በዳ መና በሉ ሞቱም፤

⁵⁰This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.

⁵⁰ሰው ከእርሱ በልቶ እንዳይሞት ከሰማይ አሁን የወረደ እንጀራ ይህ ነው።

⁵¹I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

⁵¹ከሰማይ የወረደ ሕያው እንጀራ እኔ ነኝ፤ ሰው ከዚህ እንጀራ ቢበላ ለዘላለም ይኖራል፤ እኔም ስለ ዓለም ሕይወት የምሰጠው እንጀራ ሥጋዬ ነው።

⁵²The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

⁵²እንግዲህ አይሁድ። ይህ ሰው ሥጋውን ልንበላ ይሰጠን ዘንድ እንዴት ይችላል? ብለው እርስ በርሳቸው ተከራከሩ።

⁵³Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.

⁵³ስለዚህ ኢየሱስ እንዲህ አላቸው። እውነት እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ የሰውን ልጅ ሥጋ ካልበላችሁ ደሙንም ካልጠጣችሁ በራሳችሁ ሕይወት የላችሁም።

⁵⁴Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

⁵⁴ሥጋዬን የሚበላ ደሜንም የሚጠጣ የዘላለም ሕይወት አለው፥ እኔም በመጨረሻው ቀን አስነሣዋለሁ።

⁵⁵For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

⁵⁵ሥጋዬ እውነተኛ መብል ደሜም እውነተኛ መጠጥ ነውና።

⁵⁶He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.

⁵⁶ሥጋዬን የሚበላ ደሜንም የሚጠጣ በእኔ ይኖራል እኔም በእርሱ እኖራለሁ።

⁵⁷As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.

⁵⁷ሕያው አብ እንደ ላከኝ እኔም ከአብ የተነሣ ሕያው እንደምሆን፥ እንዲሁ የሚበላኝ ደግሞ ከእኔ የተነሣ ሕያው ይሆናል።

⁵⁸This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.

⁵⁸ከሰማይ የወረደ እንጀራ ይህ ነው፤ አባቶቻችሁ መና በልተው እንደ ሞቱ አይደለም፤ ይህን እንጀራ የሚበላ ለዘላለም ይኖራል

⁵⁹These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.

⁵⁹በቅፍርናሆም ሲያስተምር ይህን በምኵራብ አለ።

⁶⁰Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?

⁶⁰ከደቀ መዛሙርቱም ብዙዎች በሰሙ ጊዜ። ይህ የሚያስጨንቅ ንግግር ነው፤ ማን ሊሰማው ይችላል? አሉ።

⁶¹When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?

⁶¹ኢየሱስ ግን ደቀ መዛሙርቱ ስለዚህ እንዳንጐራጐሩ በልቡ አውቆ አላቸው። ይህ ያሰናክላችኋልን?

⁶²What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?

⁶²እንግዲህ የሰው ልጅ አስቀድሞ ወደ ነበረበት ሲወጣ ብታዩ እንዴት ይሆናል?

⁶³It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

⁶³ሕይወትን የሚሰጥ መንፈስ ነው፤ ሥጋ ምንም አይጠቅምም፤ እኔ የነገርኋችሁ ቃል መንፈስ ነው ሕይወትም ነው።

⁶⁴But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.

⁶⁴ነገር ግን ከእናንተ የማያምኑ አሉ። ኢየሱስ የማያምኑት እነማን እንደ ሆኑ አሳልፎ የሚሰጠውም ማን እንደ ሆነ ከመጀመሪያ ያውቅ ነበርና።

⁶⁵And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.

⁶⁵ደግሞ። ስለዚህ አልኋችሁ፥ ከአብ የተሰጠው ካልሆነ ወደ እኔ ሊመጣ የሚችል የለም አለ።

⁶⁶From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.

⁶⁶ከዚህም የተነሣ ከደቀ መዛሙርቱ ብዙዎች ወደ ኋላ ተመለሱ፤ ወደ ፊትም ከእርሱ ጋር አልሄዱም።

⁶⁷Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?

⁶⁷ኢየሱስም ለአሥራ ሁለቱ። እናንተ ደግሞ ልትሄዱ ትወዳላችሁን? አለ።

⁶⁸Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.

⁶⁸ስምዖን ጴጥሮስ። ጌታ ሆይ፥ ወደ ማን እንሄዳለን? አንተ የዘላለም ሕይወት ቃል አለህ፤

⁶⁹And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.

⁶⁹እኛስ አንተ ክርስቶስ የሕያው የእግዚአብሔር ልጅ እንደ ሆንህ አምነናል አውቀናልም ብሎ መለሰለት።

⁷⁰Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?

⁷⁰ኢየሱስም። እኔ እናንተን አሥራ ሁለታችሁን የመረጥኋችሁ አይደለምን? ከእናንተም አንዱ ዲያብሎስ ነው ብሎ መለሰላቸው።

⁷¹He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.

⁷¹ስለ ስምዖንም ልጅ ስለ አስቆሮቱ ይሁዳ ተናገረ፤ ከአሥራ ሁለቱ አንዱ የሆነ እርሱ አሳልፎ ይሰጠው ዘንድ አለውና።
