¹Shure kwezvinhu izvi Jesu wakasimuka akaenda mhiri kwegungwa reGarirea, rinova reTibheriasi.

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

²Zvino chaunga chikuru chikamutevera, nekuti vakaona zviratidzo zvake zvaaiita kune avo vairwara.

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

³Jesu ndokukwira mugomo, akagarapo nevadzidzi vake.

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

⁴Zvino pasika, mutambo wevaJudha, wakange waswedera.

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

⁵Zvino Jesu paakasimudza meso, ndokuona kuti chaunga chikuru chinouya kwaari, akati kuna Firipi: Tichatengepi zvingwa, kuti ava vadye?

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?

⁶Wakareva izvozvo achimuidza, nekuti iye waiziva zvaaizoita.

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

⁷Firipi akamupindura achiti: Zvingwa zvemadhenari* mazana maviri hazvivakwani, kuti umwe neumwe wavo atore chiduku.

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

⁸Umwe wevadzidzi vake, Andiriyasi munin'ina waSimoni Petro, akati kwaari:

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

⁹Pane kamukomana pano kane zvingwa zvishanu zvebhari* nehove duku mbiri; asi zvinyi kuvazhinji vakadai?

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

¹⁰Asi Jesu wakati: Garisai vanhu pasi. Zvino kwakange kune uswa uzhinji panzvimbo iyo. Naizvozvo varume vakagara pasi, muuwandu vachinge zvuru zvishanu.

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.

¹¹Zvino Jesu wakatora zvingwa, avonga akagovera kuvadzidzi, vadzidzi vakagovera avo vakange vagere pasi; saizvozvowo zvehove diki zvakawanda sezvavaida.

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.

¹²Zvino vakati vaguta, akati kuvadzidzi vake: Unganidzai zvimedu zvasara, kuti kurege kurashika chinhu.

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

¹³Naizvozvo vakaunganidza, vakazadza matengu gumi nemaviri nezvimedu zvezvingwa zvishanu zvebhari, zvakasara kune avo vakadya.

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.

¹⁴Kuzoti vanhu avo vaona chiratidzo Jesu chaakaita, vakati: Zvirokwazvo uyu ndiye muporofita uchauya panyika.

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.

¹⁵Naizvozvo Jesu aziva kuti voda kuuya nekumubata nesimba, kumuita mambo, akasuduruka akaenda mugomo ari oga.

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.

¹⁶Zvino ava madekwana, vadzidzi vake vakaburukira kugungwa,

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

¹⁷zvino vapinda muchikepe, vakayambuka gungwa kuuya Kapenaume. Zvino kwakange kwatosviba, asi Jesu wakange asati asvika kwavari.

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

¹⁸Gungwa ndokumuka nekuti mhepo huru yaivhuvhuta.

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

¹⁹Zvino vakati vakwasva masitadhiya* anenge makumi maviri nemashanu kana makumi matatu, vakaona Jesu achifamba pamusoro pegungwa, achiswedera pachikepe; zvino vakatya.

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.

²⁰Asi wakati kwavari: Ndini, musatya.

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

²¹Zvino vakada kumugamuchira muchikepe; pakarepo chikepe chikasvika kunyika kwavakange vachienda.

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

²²Chifume chaunga chakange chimire kune rumwe rutivi rwegungwa, chichiona kuti pakange pasina rimwe igwa ipapo kunze kweriri rimwe makange mapinda vadzidzi vake mariri, uye kuti Jesu haana kupinda nevadzidzi vake mugwa, asi vadzidzi vake vakange vaenda voga,

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;

²³(asi kwakasvika mamwe magwa aibva Tibheriyasi pedo nenzvimbo pavakadya chingwa, mushure mokunge Ishe avonga)

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

²⁴naizvozvo chaunga chakati chaona kuti Jesu wakange asipo kana vadzidzi vake, ivo vakapindawo mumagwa, vakasvika Kapenaume, vachitsvaka Jesu.

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

²⁵Zvino vamuwana mhiri kwegungwa, vakati kwaari: Rabhi*, masvika pano rinhi?

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

²⁶Jesu akavapindura akati: Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri: Munonditsvaka, kwete nekuti makaona zviratidzo, asi nekuti makadya zvezvingwa mukaguta.

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.

²⁷Musashandira chikafu chinoparara, asi chikafu chinogara kusvika kuupenyu hwusingaperi, Mwanakomana wemunhu chaachakupai; nekuti Mwari Baba vakaisa pane uyu mucherechedzo.

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.

²⁸Naizvozvo vakati kwaari: Tichaitei, kuti tishande mabasa aMwari?

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

²⁹Jesu akapindura akati kwavari: Iri ndiro basa raMwari, kuti mutende kune waakatuma iye.

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

³⁰Naizvozvo vakati kwaari: Ko imwi munoita chiratidzo chipi kuti tione tikutendei? munoshandei?

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

³¹Madzibaba edu akadya mana* murenje, sezvazvakanyorwa zvichinzi: Wakavapa chingwa chakabva kudenga kuti vadye.

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

³²Naizvozvo Jesu akati kwavari: Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri: Mozisi haana kukupai chingwa chakabva kudenga; asi Baba vangu vanokupai chingwa chechokwadi chinobva kudenga.

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.

³³Nekuti chingwa chaMwari ndiye unoburuka achibva kudenga achipa upenyu kunyika.

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

³⁴Zvino vakati kwaari: Ishe, tipei chingwa ichi nguva dzose.

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

³⁵Jesu ndokuti kwavari: Ndini chingwa cheupenyu; uyo unouya kwandiri, haangatongovi nenzara; neunotenda kwandiri haangatongovi nenyota.

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.

³⁶Asi ndakati kwamuri: Nemwi makandiona, asi hamuna kutenda.

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

³⁷Vose Baba vavanondipa vachauya kwandiri; neunouya kwandiri, handingatongomurasiri kunze.

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

³⁸Nekuti ndakaburuka kudenga, kwete kuti ndiite chido changu, asi chido chaiye wakandituma.

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

³⁹Zvino ichi ndicho chido chaBaba vakandituma, kuti chose chavakandipa, ndisarasikirwa nechinhu pachiri, asi ndichimutse nezuva rekupedzisira.

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.

⁴⁰Uye ichi ndicho chido chewakandituma, kuti wose unoona Mwanakomana uye achitenda kwaari, ave neupenyu hwusingaperi, uye ini ndichamumutsa nezuva rekupedzisira.

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.

⁴¹Zvino vaJudha vakagunin'ina pamusoro pake, nekuti wakati: Ndini chingwa chakaburuka kubva kudenga.

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

⁴²Ndokuti: Uyu haasi iye Jesu Mwanakomana waJosefa, baba namai vake vatinoziva isu here? Zvino iye unogoti sei: Ndakaburuka kubva kudenga.

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?

⁴³Naizvozvo Jesu akapindura akati kwavari: Musagunin'ina pakati penyu.

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

⁴⁴Hakuna munhu unogona kuuya kwandiri, kunze kwekuti Baba vakandituma vamukweva, uye ini ndichamumutsa nezuva rekupedzisira.

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.

⁴⁵Zvakanyorwa muvaporofita zvichinzi: Uye vachadzidziswa vose naMwari. Wose naizvozvo wakanzwa naBaba akadzidza, unouya kwandiri.

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.

⁴⁶Kwete kuti kune wakaona Baba, kunze kweuyo unobva kuna Mwari, ndiye wakaona Baba.

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

⁴⁷Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri: Unotenda kwandiri, une upenyu hwusingaperi.

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

⁴⁸Ini ndiri chingwa cheupenyu.

⁴⁸I am that bread of life.

⁴⁹Madzibaba enyu akadya mana* murenje, asi akafa.

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

⁵⁰Ichi chingwa chinoburuka kubva kudenga, kuti munhu adye pachiri agorega kufa.

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

⁵¹Ini ndini chingwa chipenyu, chakaburuka kubva kudenga; kana munhu achidya zvechingwa ichi, uchararama nekusingaperi. Uye chingwa ini chandichapa, inyama yangu, ini yandichapira upenyu hwenyika.

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.

⁵²Naizvozvo vaJudha vakakakavadzana vachiti: Uyu unogona kutipa sei nyama yake tidye?

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

⁵³Naizvozvo Jesu wakati kwavari: Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri: Kunze kwekuti mudye nyama yeMwanakomana wemunhu nekumwa ropa rake, hamuna upenyu mamuri.

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.

⁵⁴Unodya nyama yangu nekumwa ropa rangu, une upenyu hwusingaperi, uye ini ndichamumutsa nezuva rekupedzisira.

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

⁵⁵Nekuti nyama yangu chikafu zvirokwazvo, neropa rangu chimwiwa zvirokwazvo.

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

⁵⁶Unodya nyama yangu nekumwa ropa rangu, unogara mandiri, neni maari.

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

⁵⁷Baba vapenyu sezvavakandituma, neni ndinorarama naBaba; naizvozvo unondidya, naiye uchararama neni.

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

⁵⁸Ichi chingwa chakaburuka kubva kudenga; hazvina kuita semadzibaba enyu akadya mana* akafa; unodya chingwa ichi, uchararama nekusingaperi.

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.

⁵⁹Zvinhu izvi wakazvireva musinagoge achidzidzisa paKapenaume.

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

⁶⁰Naizvozvo vazhinji vevadzidzi vake vakati vachinzwa, vakati: Iri shoko igukutu; ndiani unogona kurinzwa?

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

⁶¹Asi Jesu aziva mukati make kuti vadzidzi vake vanogunin'ina neizvi, wakati kwavari: Izvi zvinokugumbusai kanhi?

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

⁶²Ko muchagodini kana muchiona Mwanakomana wemunhu achikwira kwaaiva pakutanga?

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

⁶³Mweya ndiye unoraramisa, nyama haibatsiri chinhu; mashoko ini andinotaura kwamuri, mweya uye upenyu.

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

⁶⁴Asi variko vamwe venyu vasingatendi. Nekuti Jesu wakange achiziva kubva pakutanga, kuti ndivanaani vaisatenda, uye kuti ndiani waizomutengesa.

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.

⁶⁵Akati: Nekuda kwaizvozvi ndati kwamuri: Hakuna munhu unogona kuuya kwandiri, kunze kwekuti azvipiwa naBaba.

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

⁶⁶Kubva ipapo vazhinji vevadzidzi vake vakadzokera shure, vakasazofambazve naye.

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

⁶⁷Naizvozvo Jesu wakati kune vanegumi nevaviri: Imwiwo hamudi kuenda here?

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

⁶⁸Zvino Simoni Petro akamupindura, akati: Ishe, tichaenda kuna ani? Mashoko eupenyu hwusingaperi ari kwamuri,

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

⁶⁹uye isu tinotenda, uye tinoziva kuti ndimwi Kristu Mwanakomana waMwari mupenyu.

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

⁷⁰Jesu akavapindura akati: Ini handina kukusanangurai imwi vanegumi nevaviri here, asi umwe wenyu ndidhiabhorosi.

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

⁷¹Waireva Judhasi Isikarioti waSimoni; nekuti ndiye waizomutengesa, ari umwe wevanegumi nevaviri.

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