¹Rehefa afaka izany, dia niala Jesosy ka lasa nita ny Ranomasin'i Galilia, dia ny Ranomasin'i Tiberiasy izany.

¹After these things Jesus went away beyond the sea of Galilee (of Tiberias),

²Ary nisy vahoaka betsaka nanaraka Azy noho ny nahitany ny famantarana izay efa nataony tamin'ny marary.

²and there was following him a great multitude, because they were seeing his signs that he was doing on the ailing;

³Ary Jesosy niakatra tao an-tendrombohitra, dia nipetraka tao mbamin'ny mpianany.

³and Jesus went up to the mount, and he was there sitting with his disciples,

⁴Fa efa akaiky ny Paska, ilay andro firavoravoan'ny Jiosy.

⁴and the passover was nigh, the feast of the Jews.

⁵Ary Jesosy nanopy ny masony ka nahita fa nisy vahoaka betsaka nanatona Azy, dia hoy Izy tamin'i Filipo: Aiza no hividianantsika mofo hohanin'ireo?

⁵Jesus then having lifted up [his] eyes and having seen that a great multitude doth come to him, saith unto Philip, `Whence shall we buy loaves, that these may eat?` —

⁶Izany no nataony mba hizahany toetra azy; fa izy nahalala ihany izay efa hataony.

⁶and this he said, trying him, for he himself had known what he was about to do.

⁷Filipo namaly Azy hoe: Na dia mofo vidina denaria roan-jato aza tsy ampy azy rehetra hananany kely avy.

⁷Philip answered him, `Two hundred denaries` worth of loaves are not sufficient to them, that each of them may receive some little;`

⁸Ny mpianany anankiray, dia Andrea, rahalahin'i Simona Petera, nilaza taminy hoe:

⁸one of his disciples — Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter — saith to him,

⁹Misy zazalahy manana mofo vary hordea dimy sy hazandrano madinika roa, fa ho ampy inona moa izany amin'izao olona betsaka izao?

⁹`There is one little lad here who hath five barley loaves, and two fishes, but these — what are they to so many?`

¹⁰Fa hoy Jesosy: Asaovy mipetraka ny olona. Ary nisy ahitra be teo. Ka dia nipetraka ny lehilahy, tokony ho dimy arivo no isany.

¹⁰And Jesus said, `Make the men to sit down;` and there was much grass in the place, the men then sat down, in number, as it were, five thousand,

¹¹Dia nandray ny mofo Jesosy; ary rehefa nisaotra, dia nizara izany tamin'izay nipetraka hihinana Izy; ary ny hazandrano koa araka izay nilainy.

¹¹and Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those reclining, in like manner, also of the little fishes as much as they wished.

¹²Ary rehefa voky ny olona, dia hoy Jesosy tamin'ny mpianany: Angony ny sisa tsy lany, mba tsy hisy ho very.

¹²And when they were filled, he saith to his disciples, `Gather together the broken pieces that are over, that nothing may be lost;`

¹³Dia nangoniny, ka nahafeno harona roa ambin'ny folo ny sombintsombin'ny mofo vary hordea dimy, izay ambiny tsy lanin'ny nihinana.

¹³they gathered together, therefore, and filled twelve hand-baskets with broken pieces, from the five barley loaves that were over to those having eaten.

¹⁴Ary hoy ireny olona ireny, rehefa nahita ny famantarana izay nataon'i Jesosy: Ity tokoa no Ilay Mpaminany Izay ho tonga amin'izao tontolo izao.

¹⁴The men, then, having seen the sign that Jesus did, said — `This is truly the Prophet, who is coming to the world;`

¹⁵Ary rehefa fantatr'i Jesosy fa efa ho avy ny olona haka Azy an-keriny hataony mpanjaka, dia niala ka lasa indray Izy irery nankany an-tendrombohitra..

¹⁵Jesus, therefore, having known that they are about to come, and to take him by force that they may make him king, retired again to the mountain himself alone.

¹⁶Ary rehefa hariva ny andro, dia nidina ho any amin'ny ranomasina ny mpianany.

¹⁶And when evening came, his disciples went down to the sea,

¹⁷Ary niondrana an-tsambokely izy, dia nita ny ranomasina nankany Kapernaomy. Ary efa maizina ny andro tamin'izay, nefa Jesosy tsy mbola tonga tany aminy.

¹⁷and having entered into the boat, they were going over the sea to Capernaum, and darkness had already come, and Jesus had not come unto them,

¹⁸Ary ny ranomasina nanonja, fa mafy ny fifofofofon'ny rivotra.

¹⁸the sea also — a great wind blowing — was being raised,

¹⁹Ary rehefa nivoy tokony ho dimy amby roa-polo na telo-polo stadio izy, dia nahita an'i Jesosy nitsangantsangana eny ambonin'ny ranomasina ka nanakaiky ny sambokely; dia natahotra izy. [Na: dimy na enina kilometatra]

¹⁹having pushed onwards, therefore, about twenty-five or thirty furlongs, they behold Jesus walking on the sea, and coming nigh to the boat, and they were afraid;

²⁰Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Izaho ihany; aza matahotra.

²⁰and he saith to them, `I am [he], be not afraid;`

²¹Dia ta-handray Azy ho eo an-tsambokely izy; ary niaraka tamin'izay ny sambokely dia tonga tamin'ny tany izay nalehany.

²¹they were willing then to receive him into the boat, and immediately the boat came unto the land to which they were going.

²²Nony ampitson'iny ny vahoaka izay nijanona teny am-pitan'ny ranomasina dia nahita fa tsy nisy sambokely hafa teo afa-tsy iray ihany, ary Jesosy tsy mba niara-niondrana an-tsambokely tamin'ny mpianany, fa ny mpianany ihany no nandeha,

²²On the morrow, the multitude that was standing on the other side of the sea, having seen that there was no other little boat there except one — that into which his disciples entered — and that Jesus went not in with his disciples into the little boat, but his disciples went away alone,

²³kanefa nisy sambokely hafa avy tany Tiberiasy tonga teo akaikin'ilay tany nihinanany ny mofo, rehefa nisaotra ny Tompo,-

²³(and other little boats came from Tiberias, nigh the place where they did eat the bread, the Lord having given thanks),

²⁴koa nony hitan'ny vahoaka fa tsy teo Jesosy, na ny mpianany, dia niondrana an-tsambokely izy ka nankany Kapernaomy hitady an'i Jesosy.

²⁴when therefore the multitude saw that Jesus is not there, nor his disciples, they also themselves did enter into the boats, and came to Capernaum seeking Jesus;

²⁵Ary rehefa nahita Azy teny am-pitan'ny ranomasina izy, dia hoy izy taminy: Raby ô, oviana no tonga teto Hianao?

²⁵and having found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, `Rabbi, when hast thou come hither?`

²⁶Jesosy namaly azy hoe: Lazaiko aminareo marina dia marina tokoa: Mitady Ahy ianareo, nefa tsy noho ny nahitanareo famantarana, fa noho ny nihinananareo ny mofo ka voky.

²⁶Jesus answered them and said, `Verily, verily, I say to you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw signs, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were satisfied;

²⁷Aza miasa hahazo ny hanina mety ho levona, fa ny hanina izay maharitra ho fiainana mandrakizay, izay homen'ny Zanak'olona anareo; fa Izy no nasian'Andriamanitra Ray tombo-kase.

²⁷work not for the food that is perishing, but for the food that is remaining to life age-during, which the Son of Man will give to you, for him did the Father seal — [even] God.`

²⁸Dia hoy ireo taminy: Inona no hataonay mba hiasanay ny asan'Andriamanitra?

²⁸They said therefore unto him, `What may we do that we may work the works of God?`

²⁹Jesosy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Izao no asan'Andriamanitra, dia ny hinoanareo Izay nirahiny.

²⁹Jesus answered and said to them, `This is the work of God, that ye may believe in him whom He did send.`

³⁰Dia hoy ireo taminy: Inona ary no famantarana ataonao, mba ho hitanay ka hinoanay Anao? Inona moa no asa ataonao?

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

³¹Ny razantsika nihinana ny mana tany an-efitra, araka ny voasoratra hoe: Mofo avy tany an-danitra no nomeny azy hohaniny (Sal. 78. 24).

³¹our fathers the manna did eat in the wilderness, according as it is having been written, Bread out of the heaven He gave them to eat.`

³²Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Lazaiko aminareo marina dia marina tokoa: Tsy Mosesy no nanome anareo ny mofo avy tany an-danitra; fa ny Raiko no manome anareo ny tena mofo avy any an-danitra.

³²Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread out of the heaven; but my Father doth give you the true bread out of the heaven;

³³Fa ny mofon'Andriamanitra dia Ilay midina avy any an-danitra ka manome fiainana ho an'izao tontolo izao.

³³for the bread of God is that which is coming down out of the heaven, and giving life to the world.`

³⁴Ary hoy ireo taminy: Tompo ô, omeo anay mandrakariva izany mofo izany.

³⁴They said, therefore, unto him, `Sir, always give us this bread.`

³⁵Hoy Jesosy taminy: Izaho no mofon'aina; izay manatona Ahy tsy mba ho noana, ary izay mino Ahy tsy mba hangetaheta intsony.

³⁵And Jesus said to them, `I am the bread of the life; he who is coming unto me may not hunger, and he who is believing in me may not thirst — at any time;

³⁶Fa efa nolazaiko taminareo fa nahita Ahy ihany ianareo, nefa tsy mino.

³⁶but I said to you, that ye also have seen me, and ye believe not;

³⁷Izay rehetra omen'ny Raiko Ahy no hanatona Ahy; ary izay manatona Ahy dia tsy mba holaviko mihitsy.

³⁷all that the Father doth give to me will come unto me; and him who is coming unto me, I may in no wise cast without,

³⁸Fa tsy nidina avy tany an-danitra Aho mba hanao ny sitrapoko, fa ny sitrapon'izay naniraka Ahy.

³⁸because I have come down out of the heaven, not that I may do my will, but the will of Him who sent me.

³⁹Ary izao no sitrapon'izay naniraka Ahy, dia ny tsy hamelako hisy very izay rehetra nomeny Ahy, fa hatsangako indray amin'ny andro farany izy.

³⁹`And this is the will of the Father who sent me, that all that He hath given to me I may not lose of it, but may raise it up in the last day;

⁴⁰Fa izao no sitrapon'ny Raiko, dia ny hahazoan'izay rehetra mijery ny Zanaka ka mino Azy fiainana mandrakizay; ary Izaho hanangana azy amin'ny andro farany.

⁴⁰and this is the will of Him who sent me, that every one who is beholding the Son, and is believing in him, may have life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day.`

⁴¹Dia nimonomonona tamin'i Jesosy ny Jiosy, satria Izy nanao hoe: Izaho no mofo izay nidina avy tany an-danitra.

⁴¹The Jews, therefore, were murmuring at him, because he said, `I am the bread that came down out of the heaven;`

⁴²Dia hoy ireo: Tsy Ilehio va no Jesosy, Zanak'i Josefa, Izay fantatsika ny rainy aman-dreniny? Ahoana no dia anaovany ankehitriny hoe: ho nidina avy tany an-danitra?

⁴²and they said, `Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have known? how then saith this one — Out of the heaven I have come down?`

⁴³Jesosy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Aza mimonomonona ianareo.

⁴³Jesus answered, therefore, and said to them, `Murmur not one with another;

⁴⁴Tsy misy olona mahay manatona Ahy, raha tsy taomin'ny Ray Izay naniraka Ahy; ary Izaho hanangana azy amin'ny andro farany.

⁴⁴no one is able to come unto me, if the Father who sent me may not draw him, and I will raise him up in the last day;

⁴⁵Voasoratra ao amin'ny mpaminany hoe: Ary izy rehetra dia hampianarin'Andriamanitra (Isa. 54. 13). Izay rehetra mandre ka mianatra amin'ny Ray no manatona Ahy.

⁴⁵it is having been written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God; every one therefore who heard from the Father, and learned, cometh to me;

⁴⁶Nefa tsy nisy nahita ny Ray, afa-tsy Izay avy amin'Andriamanitra: Izy no nahita ny Ray.

⁴⁶not that any one hath seen the Father, except he who is from God, he hath seen the Father.

⁴⁷Lazaiko aminareo marina dia marina tokoa: Izay mino no manana fiainana mandrakizay.

⁴⁷`Verily, verily, I say to you, He who is believing in me, hath life age-during;

⁴⁸Izaho no mofon'aina.

⁴⁸I am the bread of the life;

⁴⁹Ny razanareo nihinana ny mana tany an-efitra, nefa maty ihany.

⁴⁹your fathers did eat the manna in the wilderness, and they died;

⁵⁰Ity no mofo izay midina avy any an-danitra, mba tsy ho faty izay mihinana azy.

⁵⁰this is the bread that out of the heaven is coming down, that any one may eat of it, and not die.

⁵¹Izaho no mofo velona izay nidina avy tany an-danitra; raha misy mihinana ity mofo ity, dia ho velona mandrakizay izy; ary ny mofo izay homeko dia ny nofoko ho fiainan'izao tontolo izao.

⁵¹`I am the living bread that came down out of the heaven; if any one may eat of this bread he shall live — to the age; and the bread also that I will give is my flesh, that I will give for the life of the world.`

⁵²Dia nifanditra ny Jiosy ka nanao hoe: Hataon'ilehio ahoana re no fanome ny nofony hohanintsika?

⁵²The Jews, therefore, were striving with one another, saying, `How is this one able to give us [his] flesh to eat?`

⁵³Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Lazaiko aminareo marina dia marina tokoa: Raha tsy mihinana ny nofon'ny Zanak'olona sy misotro ny ràny ianareo, dia tsy manana fiainana ao aminareo.

⁵³Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you, If ye may not eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and may not drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves;

⁵⁴Izay mihinana ny nofoko sy misotro ny rako no manana fiainana mandrakizay; ary Izaho hanangana azy amin'ny andro farany.

⁵⁴he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, hath life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day;

⁵⁵Fa ny nofoko no tena fihinana, ary ny rako no tena fisotro.

⁵⁵for my flesh truly is food, and my blood truly is drink;

⁵⁶Izay mihinana ny nofoko sy misotro ny rako no mitoetra ao amiko, ary Izaho kosa ao aminy.

⁵⁶he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, doth remain in me, and I in him.

⁵⁷Ary tahaka ny nanirahan'ny Ray velona Ahy, ary Izaho koa velona amin'ny Ray, dia tahaka izany koa izay mihinana Ahy no ho velona amiko.

⁵⁷`According as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, he also who is eating me, even that one shall live because of me;

⁵⁸Ity no mofo izay nidina avy tany an-danitra; tsy tahaka ny razana izay nihinana, nefa maty ihany; fa izay mihinana ity mofo ity dia ho velona mandrakizay.

⁵⁸this is the bread that came down out of the heaven; not as your fathers did eat the manna, and died; he who is eating this bread shall live — to the age.`

⁵⁹Izany teny izany no nolazainy tao amin'ny synagoga, raha nampianatra tao Kapernaomy Izy.

⁵⁹These things he said in a synagogue, teaching in Capernaum;

⁶⁰Koa maro tamin'ny mpianany, nony nandre, dia nanao hoe: Sarotra izany teny izany, iza no mahahaino izany?

⁶⁰many, therefore, of his disciples having heard, said, `This word is hard; who is able to hear it?`

⁶¹Ary fantatr'i Jesosy tao am-pony fa nimonomonona tamin'izany ny mpianany, ka dia hoy Izy taminy: Mahatafintohina anareo va izay?

⁶¹And Jesus having known in himself that his disciples are murmuring about this, said to them, `Doth this stumble you?

⁶²Mainka raha mahita ny Zanak'olona miakatra ho any amin'izay nitoerany taloha ianareo.

⁶²if then ye may behold the Son of Man going up where he was before?

⁶³Ny fanahy no mahavelona; ny nofo tsy mahasoa na inona na inona; ny teny izay nolazaiko taminareo dia fanahy sy fiainana.

⁶³the spirit it is that is giving life; the flesh doth not profit anything; the sayings that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life;

⁶⁴Fa misy ny sasany aminareo izay tsy mino. Fa fantatr'i Jesosy hatramin'ny voalohany izay tsy nino sy izay hamadika Azy.

⁶⁴but there are certain of you who do not believe;` for Jesus had known from the beginning who they are who are not believing, and who is he who will deliver him up,

⁶⁵Ary hoy Izy: Izany no nilazako taminareo fa tsy misy olona mahay manatona Ahy, raha tsy nomen'ny Ray azy izany.

⁶⁵and he said, `Because of this I have said to you — No one is able to come unto me, if it may not have been given him from my Father.`

⁶⁶Hatramin'izany dia maro tamin'ny mpianany no nihemotra ka tsy niara-nandeha taminy intsony. [Na: Noho izany]

⁶⁶From this [time] many of his disciples went away backward, and were no more walking with him,

⁶⁷Dia hoy Jesosy tamin'ny roa ambin'ny folo lahy: Hianareo koa va mba te-hiala?

⁶⁷Jesus, therefore, said to the twelve, `Do ye also wish to go away?`

⁶⁸Simona Petera namaly Azy hoe: Tompo ô, hankany amin'iza moa izahay? Hianao no manana ny tenin'ny fiainana mandrakizay.

⁶⁸Simon Peter, therefore, answered him, `Sir, unto whom shall we go? thou hast sayings of life age-during;

⁶⁹Ary izahay mino ka mahalala fa Hianao no Ilay Masin'Andriamanitra.

⁶⁹and we have believed, and we have known, that thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.`

⁷⁰Jesosy namaly azy hoe: Tsy Izaho va no nifidy anareo roa ambin'ny folo lahy, nefa ny anankiray aminareo aza dia devoly?Fa Izy nilaza an'i Jodasy, zanak'i Simona Iskariota; fa izy no ilay efa hamadika Azy, nefa isan'ny roa ambin'ny folo lahy.

⁷⁰Jesus answered them, `Did not I choose you — the twelve? and of you — one is a devil.

⁷¹Fa Izy nilaza an'i Jodasy, zanak'i Simona Iskariota; fa izy no ilay efa hamadika Azy, nefa isan'ny roa ambin'ny folo lahy.

⁷¹And he spake of Judas, Simon`s [son], Iscariot, for he was about to deliver him up, being one of the twelve.
