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

¹Baada ya hayo, Yesu alivuka ziwa Galilaya (au Ziwa Tiberia).

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

²Umati mkubwa wa watu ulimfuata kwa sababu watu hao walikuwa wameona ishara alizokuwa akifanya kwa kuwaponya wagonjwa.

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

³Yesu alipanda mlimani, akaketi pamoja na wanafunzi wake.

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

⁴Sikukuu ya Wayahudi iitwayo Pasaka ilikuwa imekaribia.

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?

⁵Basi, Yesu na alipotazama na kuona umati wa watu ukija kwake, alimwambia Filipo, "Tununue wapi mikate ili watu hawa wapate kula?"

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

⁶(Alisema hivyo kwa kumjaribu Filipo, kwani alijua mwenyewe atakalofanya.)

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

⁷Filipo akamjibu, "Mikate ya denari mia mbili za fedha haiwatoshi watu hawa hata kama ila mmoja atapata kipande kidogo tu!"

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

⁸Mmoja wa wanafunzi wake aitwaye Andrea, nduguye Simoni Petro, akamwambia,

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

⁹"Yupo hapa mtoto mmoja aliye na mikate mitano ya shayiri na samaki wawili; lakini hivi vyatosha nini kwa watu wengi kama hawa?"

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.

¹⁰Yesu akasema, "Waketisheni watu." Palikuwa na nyasi tele mahali hapo. Basi, watu wakaketi, jumla yapata wanaume elfu tano.

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.

¹¹Yesu akaitwaa ile mikate, akamshukuru Mungu, akawagawia watu waliokuwa wameketi; akafanya vivyo hivyo na wale samaki, kila mtu akapata kadiri alivyotaka.

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

¹²Watu waliposhiba Yesu akawaambia wanafunzi wake, "Kusanyeni vipande vilivyobaki visipotee."

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.

¹³Basi, wakakusanya vipande vya mikate ya shayiri walivyobakiza wale watu waliokula, wakajaza vikapu kumi na viwili.

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.

¹⁴Watu walipoiona ishara hiyo aliyoifanya Yesu, wakasema, "Hakika huyu ndiye nabii anayekuja ulimwenguni."

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.

¹⁵Yesu akajua ya kuwa watu walitaka kumchukua wamfanye mfalme, akaondoka tena, akaenda mlimani peke yake.

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

¹⁶Ilipokuwa jioni wanafunzi wake waliteremka hadi ziwani,

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

¹⁷wakapanda mashua ili wavuke kwenda Kafarnaumu. Giza lilikuwa limeingia, na Yesu alikuwa hajawafikia bado.

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

¹⁸Ziwa likaanza kuchafuka kwa sababu upepo mkali ulikuwa unavuma.

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.

¹⁹Wanafunzi walipokuwa wamekwenda umbali wa kilomita tano au sita, walimwona Yesu akitembea juu ya maji, anakaribia mashua; wakaogopa sana.

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

²⁰Yesu akawaambia, "Ni mimi, msiogope!"

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

²¹Walifurahi kumchukua Yesu katika mashua; na mara mashua ikawasili nchi kavu walipokuwa wanakwenda.

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;

²²Kesho yake umati wa watu wale waliobaki upande wa pili wa ziwa walitambua kwamba kulikuwa na mashua moja tu pale, na Yesu hakuingia katika mashua pamoja na wanafunzi wake, ila wanafunzi hao walikuwa wamekwenda zao peke yao.

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

²³Mashua nyingine kutoka Tiberia zilifika mahali hapo watu walipokula ile mikate, Bwana alipokwisha mshukuru Mungu.

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

²⁴Basi, hao watu walipogundua kwamba Yesu na wanafunzi wake hawakuwapo mahali hapo, walipanda mashua, wakaenda Kafarnaumu wakimtafuta.

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

²⁵Wale watu walipomkuta Yesu ng'ambo ya pili wa ziwa walimwuliza, "Mwalimu, ulifika lini hapa?"

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.

²⁶Yesu akawajibu, "Kweli nawaambieni, mnanitafuta si kwa kuwa mmeona ishara, bali kwa sababu mlikula ile mikate mkashiba.

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.

²⁷Msikishughulikie chakula kiharibikacho; kishugulikieni chakula kidumucho kwa ajili ya uzima wa milele. Mwana wa Mtu ambaye Baba amemthibitisha atawapeni chakula hicho."

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

²⁸Wao wakamwuliza, "Tufanye nini ili tuweze kuzitenda kazi za Mungu?"

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

²⁹Yesu akawajibu, "Hii ndiyo kazi anayotaka Mungu muifanye: kumwamini yule aliyemtuma."

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

³⁰Hapo wakamwambia, "Utafanya ishara gani ili tuione tupate kukuamini? Utafanya kitu gani?

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

³¹Wazee wetu walikula mana kule jangwani, kama yasemavyo Maandiko: Aliwalisha mkate kutoka mbinguni."

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.

³²Yesu akawaambia, "Kweli nawaambieni, Mose hakuwapeni mkate kutoka mbinguni; Baba yangu ndiye awapaye ninyi mkate halisi kutoka mbinguni.

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

³³Maana mkate wa Mungu ni yule ashukaye kutoka mbinguni na aupaye ulimwengu uzima."

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

³⁴Basi, wakamwambia, "Mheshimiwa, tupe daima mkate huo."

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.

³⁵Yesu akawaambia, "Mimi ndimi mkate wa uzima. Anayekuja kwangu hataona njaa; anayeniamini hataona kiu kamwe.

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

³⁶Lakini niliwaambieni kwamba ingawa mmeniona hamniamini.

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

³⁷Wote anaonipa Baba watakuja kwangu; nami sitamtupa nje yeyote anayekuja kwangu,

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

³⁸kwani nimeshuka kutoka mbinguni si kwa ajili ya kufanya matakwa yangu, ila kutimiza matakwa ya yule aliyenituma.

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.

³⁹Na matakwa ya yule aliyenituma ndiyo haya: nisimpoteze hata mmoja kati ya wale alionipa, ila niwafufue wote Siku ya mwisho.

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.

⁴⁰Maana anachotaka Baba yangu ndicho hiki: kila amwonaye Mwana na kumwamini awe na uzima wa milele; nami nitamfufua Siku ya mwisho."

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

⁴¹Basi, Wayahudi wakaanza kunung'unika kwa kuwa alisema: "Mimi ni mkate ulioshuka kutoka mbinguni."

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?

⁴²Wakasema, "Je, huyu si mwana wa Yosefu? Tunawajua baba yake na mama yake! Basi, anawezaje kusema kwamba ameshuka kutoka mbinguni?"

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

⁴³Yesu akawaambia, "Acheni kunung'unika ninyi kwa ninyi.

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.

⁴⁴Hakuna mtu awezaye kuja kwangu, Baba aliyenituma asipomvuta kwangu; nami nitamfufua mtu huyo Siku ya mwisho.

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.

⁴⁵Manabii wameandika: Watu wote watafundishwa na Mungu. Kila mtu anayemsikia Baba na kujifunza kutoka kwake, huja kwangu.

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

⁴⁶Hii haina maana kwamba yupo mtu aliyemwona Baba, isipokuwa yule aliyetoka kwa Mungu; huyo ndiye aliyemwona Baba.

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

⁴⁷Kweli, nawaambieni, anayeamini anao uzima wa milele.

⁴⁸I am that bread of life.

⁴⁸Mimi ni mkate wa uzima.

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

⁴⁹Wazee wenu walikula mana kule jangwani, lakini walikufa.

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

⁵⁰Huu ndio mkate kutoka mbinguni; mkate ambao anayekula hatakufa.

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.

⁵¹Mimi ni mkate hai ulioshuka kutoka mbinguni. Mtu yeyote akila mkate huu ataishi milele. Na mkate nitakaompa ni mwili wangu ninaoutoa kwa ajili ya uzima wa ulimwengu."

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

⁵²Ndipo Wayahudi wakaanza kubishana kati yao:

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.

⁵³Yesu akawaambia, "Kweli nawaambieni, msipokula mwili wa Mwana wa Mtu na kunywa damu yake, hamtakuwa na uzima ndani yenu.

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

⁵⁴Anayekula mwili wangu na kunywa damu yangu anao uzima wa milele nami nitamfufua siku ya mwisho.

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

⁵⁵Maana mwili wangu ni chakula cha kweli, na damu yangu ni kinywaji cha kweli.

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

⁵⁶Aulaye mwili wangu na kunywa damu yangu, akaa ndani yangu, nami nakaa ndani yake.

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

⁵⁷Baba aliye hai alinituma, nami naishi kwa sababu yake; vivyo hivyo anilaye mimi ataishi pia kwa sababu yangu.

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.

⁵⁸Basi, huu ndio mkate ulioshuka kutoka mbinguni; si kama mana waliyokula babu zetu, wakafa. Aulaye mkate huu ataishi milele."

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

⁵⁹Yesu alisema hayo alipokuwa akifundisha katika sunagogi kule Kafarnaumu.

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

⁶⁰Basi, wengi wa wafuasi wake waliposikia hayo, wakasema, "Haya ni mambo magumu! Nani awezaye kuyasikiliza?"

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

⁶¹Yesu alijua bila kuambiwa na mtu kwamba wanafunzi wake walikuwa wananung'unika juu ya jambo hilo, akawauliza, "Je, jambo hili linawafanya muwe na mashaka?

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

⁶²Itakuwaje basi, mtakapomwona Mwana wa Mtu akipanda kwenda kule alikokuwa kwanza?

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

⁶³Roho ndiye atiaye uzima; binadamu peke yake hawezi. Maneno niliyowaambieni ni Roho, ni uzima.

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.

⁶⁴Hata hivyo, wako baadhi yenu wasioamini." (Yesu alisema hivyo kwani alijua tangu mwanzo ni kina nani wasioamini, na pia ni nani atakayemsaliti.)

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

⁶⁵Kisha akasema, "Ndiyo maana niliwaambieni kwamba hakuna awezaye kuja kwangu asipowezeshwa na Baba yangu."

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

⁶⁶Kutokana na hayo, wengi wa wafuasi wake walirudi nyuma wasiandamane naye tena.

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

⁶⁷Basi, Yesu akawauliza wale kumi na wawili, "Je, nanyi pia mwataka kwenda zenu?"

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

⁶⁸Simoni Petro akamjibu, "Bwana, tutakwenda kwa nani? Wewe unayo maneno yaletayo uzima wa milele.

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

⁶⁹Sisi tunaamini, na tunajua kwamba wewe ndiwe yule Mtakatifu wa Mungu."

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

⁷⁰Yesu akawaambia, "Je, sikuwachagua ninyi kumi na wawili? Hata hivyo, mmoja wenu ni Ibilisi!"

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

⁷¹Yesu alisema hayo juu ya Yuda, mwana wa Simoni Iskarioti; maana huyu alikuwa ndiye atakayemsaliti, ingawa alikuwa mmoja wa wale kumi na wawili.
