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

¹After these things Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, which is [the sea] of Tiberias.

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

²And a great multitude followed him, because they beheld the signs which he did on them that were sick.

³Yesu alipanda mlimani, akaketi pamoja na wanafunzi wake.

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

⁴Sikukuu ya Wayahudi iitwayo Pasaka ilikuwa imekaribia.

⁴Now the passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand.

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

⁵Jesus therefore lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a great multitude cometh unto him, saith unto Philip, Whence are we to buy bread, that these may eat?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

¹¹Jesus therefore took the loaves; and having given thanks, he distributed to them that were set down; likewise also of the fishes as much as they would.

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

¹²And when they were filled, he saith unto his disciples, Gather up the broken pieces which remain over, that nothing be lost.

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

¹³So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves, which remained over unto them that had eaten.

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

¹⁴When therefore the people saw the sign which he did, they said, This is of a truth the prophet that cometh into the world.

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

¹⁵Jesus therefore perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force, to make him king, withdrew again into the mountain himself alone.

¹⁶Ilipokuwa jioni wanafunzi wake waliteremka hadi ziwani,

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

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

¹⁷and they entered into a boat, and were going over the sea unto Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.

¹⁸Ziwa likaanza kuchafuka kwa sababu upepo mkali ulikuwa unavuma.

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

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

¹⁹When therefore they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they behold Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the boat: and they were afraid.

²⁰Yesu akawaambia, "Ni mimi, msiogope!"

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

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

²¹They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat: and straightway the boat was at the land whither they were going.

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.

²²On the morrow the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, save one, and that Jesus entered not with his disciples into the boat, but [that] his disciples went away alone

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

²³(howbeit there came boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks):

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

²⁴when the multitude therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they themselves got into the boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.

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

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

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

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

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

²⁷Work not for the food which perisheth, but for the food which abideth unto eternal life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him the Father, even God, hath sealed.

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

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

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

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

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

³⁰They said therefore unto him, What then doest thou for a sign, that we may see, and believe thee? what workest thou?

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

³¹Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.

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

³²Jesus therefore said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, It was not Moses that gave you the bread out of heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread out of heaven.

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

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

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

³⁴They said therefore unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.

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

³⁵Jesus said unto them. I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall not hunger, and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

³⁶Lakini niliwaambieni kwamba ingawa mmeniona hamniamini.

³⁶But I said unto you, that ye have seen me, and yet believe not.

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

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

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

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

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

³⁹And this is the will of him that sent me, that of all that which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it 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."

⁴⁰For this is the will of my Father, that every one that beholdeth the Son, and believeth on him, should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

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

⁴¹The Jews therefore murmured concerning him, because he said, I am the bread which came down out of heaven.

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

⁴²And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how doth he now say, I am come down out of heaven?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

⁴⁷Kweli, nawaambieni, anayeamini anao uzima wa milele.

⁴⁷Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth hath eternal life.

⁴⁸Mimi ni mkate wa uzima.

⁴⁸I am the bread of life.

⁴⁹Wazee wenu walikula mana kule jangwani, lakini walikufa.

⁴⁹Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.

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

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

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."

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

⁵²Ndipo Wayahudi wakaanza kubishana kati yao:

⁵²The Jews therefore strove one with another, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

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

⁵³Jesus therefore 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 not life in yourselves.

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

⁵⁴He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood hath eternal life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

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

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

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

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

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

⁵⁷As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father; so he that eateth me, he also shall live because of me.

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

⁵⁸This is the bread which came down out of heaven: not as the fathers ate, and died; he that eateth this bread shall live for ever.

⁵⁹Yesu alisema hayo alipokuwa akifundisha katika sunagogi kule Kafarnaumu.

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

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

⁶⁰Many therefore of his disciples, when the heard [this], said, This is a hard saying; who can hear it?

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

⁶¹But Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said unto them, Doth this cause you to stumble?

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

⁶²[What] then if ye should behold the Son of man ascending where he was before?

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

⁶³It is the spirit that giveth life; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I have spoken unto you are spirit, are are life.

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

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

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

⁶⁵And he said, For this cause have I said unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it be given unto him of the Father.

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

⁶⁶Upon this many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.

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

⁶⁷Jesus said therefore unto the twelve, Would ye also go away?

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

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

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

⁶⁹And we have believed and know that thou art the Holy One of God.

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

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

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

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