¹ Gannaaw loolu Yeesu dafa jàll dexu Galile, maanaam dexu Tiberyàdd.

¹After these things, Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, which is also called the Sea of Tiberias.

² Mbooloo mu bare topp ci moom, ndaxte gisoon nañu firnde yooyee mu wone, bi mu wéralee jarag ya.

²A great multitude followed him, because they saw his signs which he did on those who were sick.

³ Yeesu daldi yéeg ca kaw tund wa, toog fa ak ay taalibeem.

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

⁴ Fekk na booba bésu Jéggi ba, di màggalu Yawut ya, jubsi.

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

⁵ Bi Yeesu xoolee, gis mbooloo mu réy di ñëw ci moom, mu ne Filib: «Fu nuy jële mburu, mu nu leen man a dundale?»

⁵Jesus therefore lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a great multitude was coming to him, said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread, that these may eat?”

⁶ Bi muy wax loolu it, da doon seetlu Filib, ndaxte xamoon na booba li mu nar a def.

⁶This he said to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.

⁷ Filib ne ko: «Peyug juróom ñetti weer sax, bu nu ko amoon, du leen man a doy ci mburu, ba kenn ku nekk ci ñoom am ci dog wu ndaw.»

⁷Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that everyone of them may receive a little.”

⁸ Keneen ca taalibe ya di Andare, mi bokk ak Simoŋ Piyeer ndey ak baay, ne ko:

⁸One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him,

⁹ «Am na fi ci mbooloo mi ab xale bu yor juróomi mburu ak ñaari jën, waaye loolu lu muy jariñ mbooloo mu tollu nii?»

⁹“There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these among so many?”

¹⁰ Yeesu daldi ne taalibe ya: «Na ñépp toog.» Fekk ñax mu bare amoon ca bérab ba. Noonu góor ñépp àgg suuf. Waroon nañoo mat juróomi junni.

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

¹¹ Yeesu daldi jël mburu ya, gërëm Yàlla, ba noppi séddale ko ña fa toogoon. Mu jox leen itam jën, ba ñu doyal sëkk.

¹¹Jesus took the loaves; and having given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those who were sitting down; likewise also of the fish as much as they desired.

¹² Bi ñu lekkee ba regg, Yeesu ne taalibe ya: «Dajaleleen desitu mburu mi, ba dara du ci réer.»

¹²When they were filled, he said to his disciples, “Gather up the broken pieces which are left over, that nothing be lost.”

¹³ Ñu dajale ko, daldi feesal fukki pañe ak ñaar ak desiti juróomi mburu, yi ñu doon lekk.

¹³So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves, which were left over by those who had eaten.

¹⁴ Bi nit ña gisee firnde jooju Yeesu wone, ñu ne: «Dëgg-dëgg kii mooy Yonent, bi war a ñëw ci àddina!»

¹⁴When therefore the people saw the sign which Jesus did, they said, “This is truly the prophet who comes into the world.”

¹⁵ Yeesu gis ne dañu koo nar a jëlsi, fal ko buur. Mu bàyyi leen fa, dellu moom rekk ca tund wa.

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

¹⁶ Bi timis jotee taalibeem ya wàcc ca tefes ga,

¹⁶When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea,

¹⁷ dugg ci gaal, di jàll dex gi, jëm dëkku Kapernawum. Booba guddi woon na, te Yeesu agseegul ci ñoom.

¹⁷and they entered into the boat, and were going over the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them.

¹⁸ Dex gi yengu na lool, ndaxte da doon ngelaw ak doole.

¹⁸The sea was tossed by a great wind blowing.

¹⁹ Bi ñu joowee lu war a tollook juróom benni kilomet, ñu séen Yeesu, muy dox ci kaw dex gi, jëm ci ñoom, ñu daldi tiit.

¹⁹When therefore they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia, 25 to 30 stadia is about 5 to 6 kilometers or about 3 to 4 miles they saw Jesus walking on the sea, see Job 9:8 and drawing near to the boat; and they were afraid.

²⁰ Waaye Yeesu ne leen: «Man la, buleen tiit!»

²⁰But he said to them, “It is I or, I AM . Don’t be afraid.”

²¹ Noonu ñu nangu koo dugal ca gaal ga, gaal ga daldi teer ca saa sa ca fa ñu bëggoon a wàcc.

²¹They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat. Immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.

²² Ca ëllëg sa mbooloo, ma des ca geneen wàllu dex ga, gis ne genn gaal ga fa nekkoon rekk dem na. Xam nañu ne Yeesu bokku ko woon ak taalibe ya, ndaxte ñoom rekk a àndoon.

²²On the next day, the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except the one in which his disciples had embarked, and that Jesus hadn’t entered with his disciples into the boat, but his disciples had gone away alone.

²³ Waaye yeneen gaal yu jóge dëkku Tiberyàdd ñëw, teer ca wetu fa ñu lekke woon mburu ma, gannaaw bi Boroom bi santee Yàlla ba noppi.

²³However boats from Tiberias came near to the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

²⁴ Bi mbooloo ma gisee ne, Yeesu walla taalibe ya kenn nekkatu fa, ñu dugg ca gaal yooyu, dem seeti ko Kapernawum.

²⁴When the multitude therefore saw that Jesus wasn’t there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.

²⁵ Bi ñu fekkee Yeesu ca geneen wàllu dex ga, ñu ne ko: «Kilifa gi, kañ nga fi ñëw?»

²⁵When they found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?”

²⁶ Yeesu ne leen: «Ci dëgg-dëgg maa ngi leen koy wax, firnde yi ngeen gis taxul ngeen may seet. Yéena ngi may wër ndax mburu, mi ngeen lekk ba suur.

²⁶Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, you seek me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves, and were filled.

²⁷ Buleen liggéeyal ñam wuy yàqu; li gën mooy ñam wu sax abadan tey joxe dund gu dul jeex. Ñam woowule, Doomu nit ki dina leen ko jox, ndaxte moom la Yàlla Baay bi tànn, mu nekk ndawam.»

²⁷ Don’t work for the food which perishes, but for the food which remains to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has sealed him.”

²⁸ Noonu ñu laaj ko ne: «Lu nu war a liggéey, ngir matal jëf yi neex Yàlla?»

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

²⁹ Yeesu tontu leen ne: «Jëf ji neex Yàlla, moo di gëm ki mu yónni.»

²⁹Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.”

³⁰ Ñu ne ko: «Ban firnde nga nu man a won, ngir nu gëm la? Ban liggéey nga nar a def?

³⁰They said therefore to him, “What then do you do for a sign, that we may see, and believe you? What work do you do?

³¹ Sunuy maam dunde nañu mànn ca màndiŋ ma, ndaxte Mbind mi nee na: “Jox na leen, ñu lekk ñam wu wàcce ca asamaan.”»

³¹Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness. As it is written, ‘He gave them bread out of heaven Greek and Hebrew use the same word for “heaven”, “the heavens”, “the sky”, and “the air”. to eat.’” Exodus 16:4; Nehemiah 9:15; Psalm 78:24-25

³² Yeesu waxaat ne: «Ci dëgg-dëgg maa ngi leen koy wax, du Musaa moo leen jox ñam woowu wàcce ca asamaan; sama Baay ci boppam, moo leen di jox ñam wu wóor, wi wàcce ca asamaan.

³²Jesus therefore said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you, it wasn’t Moses who gave you the bread out of heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven.

³³ Ndaxte ñam, wi Yàlla di joxe, mooy ñam wiy wàcce ci asamaan tey jox àddina si dund.»

³³ For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world.”

³⁴ Ñu ne ko nag: «Sang bi, kon dee nu faral di jox ci ñam woowe!»

³⁴They said therefore to him, “Lord, always give us this bread.”

³⁵ Yeesu tontu leen ne: «Man maay ñam wiy joxe dund. Ku ñëw ci man, doo xiif mukk; te ku ma gëm, doo mar.

³⁵Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will not be hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.

³⁶ Waaye wax naa leen ko ba noppi; gis ngeen ma te taxul ngeen gëm!

³⁶ But I told you that you have seen me, and yet you don’t believe.

³⁷ Képp ku ma Baay bi jox dina ñëw ci man, te duma dàq mukk ki may fekksi.

³⁷ All those whom the Father gives me will come to me. He who comes to me I will in no way throw out.

³⁸ Ndaxte wàccewuma ci asamaan ngir def sama bëgg-bëgg, waaye damay matal bëgg-bëggu ki ma yónni.

³⁸ For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.

³⁹ Lii mooy bëgg-bëggu ki ma yónni: bu ma ñàkk kenn ci ñi mu ma may, te dafa bëgg it ma dekkal leen keroog bés bu mujj ba.

³⁹ This is the will of my Father who sent me, that of all he has given to me I should lose nothing, but should raise him up at the last day.

⁴⁰ Ndaxte lii mooy bëgg-bëggu Baay bi: képp ku gis Doom ji te gëm ko, am dund gu dul jeex, te bés bu mujj ba, dinaa ko dekkal!»

⁴⁰ This is the will of the one who sent me, that everyone who sees the Son, and believes in him, should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”

⁴¹ Yawut ya tàmbali di ñurumtoo Yeesu, ndaxte dafa ne: «Maay ñam wi wàcce ci asamaan.»

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

⁴² Ñu naan: «Ndax kii du Yeesu, doomu Yuusufa? Xam nanu ndeyam ak baayam. Kon nag lu tax léegi mu naan, mi ngi jóge asamaan?»

⁴²They said, “Isn’t this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then does he say, ‘I have come down out of heaven?’”

⁴³ Yeesu ne leen: «Bàyyileen seen ñurumtu bi.

⁴³Therefore Jesus answered them, “Don’t murmur among yourselves.

⁴⁴ Kenn mënul a ñëw ci man te Baay, bi ma yónni, xiirtalu la ci, te man dinaa la dekkal keroog bés bu mujj ba.

⁴⁴ No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up in the last day.

⁴⁵ Yonent yi bind nañu kàddu gii: “Yàlla dina leen jàngal ñoom ñépp.” Kon nag ku déglu te nangu waxi Baay bi, dina ñëw ci man.

⁴⁵ It is written in the prophets, ‘They will all be taught by God.’ Isaiah 54:13 Therefore everyone who hears from the Father, and has learned, comes to me.

⁴⁶ Tekkiwul ne kenn mas na gis Baay bi. Ki jóge ci Yàlla doŋŋ a ko gis.

⁴⁶ Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from God. He has seen the Father.

⁴⁷ Ci dëgg-dëgg maa ngi leen koy wax, ku gëm am nga dund gu dul jeex.

⁴⁷ Most certainly, I tell you, he who believes in me has eternal life.

⁴⁸ Maay ñam wiy joxe dund.

⁴⁸ I am the bread of life.

⁴⁹ Seeni maam lekk nañu mànn ca màndiŋ ma, teewul dee nañu.

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

⁵⁰ Waaye ñam wiy wàcce ci asamaan, ku ko lekk, doo dee.

⁵⁰ This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, that anyone may eat of it and not die.

⁵¹ Man maay ñam wiy dund te wàcce ci asamaan. Ku lekk ci ñam wii, dinga dund ba fàww. Te it ñam wi may joxeji, sama yaram la; dama koy joxe ngir àddina man a dund.»

⁵¹ I am the living bread which came down out of heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. Yes, the bread which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”

⁵² Noonu Yawut ya werante werante bu tàng ci seen biir naan: «Naka la nu waa jii man a joxe yaramam, ngir nu lekk ko?»

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

⁵³ Yeesu ne leen: «Dëgg-dëgg maa ngi leen koy wax, bu ngeen lekkul yaramu Doomu nit ki te naanuleen deretam, dungeen am dund ci yéen.

⁵³Jesus therefore said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you don’t have life in yourselves.

⁵⁴ Ku lekk sama yaram te naan sama deret, am nga dund gu dul jeex, te dinaa la dekkal keroog bés bu mujj ba.

⁵⁴ He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

⁵⁵ Ndaxte sama yaram mooy ñam wu wóor wi, te sama deret mooy naan gu wóor gi.

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

⁵⁶ Kiy lekk sama yaram tey naan sama deret dina sax ci man, ma dëkk ci moom.

⁵⁶ He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me, and I in him.

⁵⁷ Baay bi ma yónni mu ngi dund, te maa ngi dund jaarale ko ci moom; noonu itam ku may lekk dina dund jaarale ko ci man.

⁵⁷ As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father; so he who feeds on me, he will also live because of me.

⁵⁸ Kon nag ñam, wi wàcce ci asamaan a ngi noonu; bokkul ak ñam, wa seeni maam lekkoon te faatu. Ku lekk ñam wii may wax dinga dund ba fàww.»

⁵⁸ This is the bread which came down out of heaven—not as our fathers ate the manna, and died. He who eats this bread will live forever.”

⁵⁹ Baat yooyu la Yeesu wax, bi mu doon jàngale ca jàngu ba ca Kapernawum.

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

⁶⁰ Bi ñu dégloo Yeesu ba noppi, taalibeem yu bare nee nañu: «Njàngale mii de, jafe na! Kan moo ko man a déglu?»

⁶⁰Therefore many of his disciples, when they heard this, said, “This is a hard saying! Who can listen to it?”

⁶¹ Yeesu gis ne taalibeem yaa ngi ñurumtoo loolu, mu ne leen: «Ndax li ma wax da leen a jaaxal?

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

⁶² Lan mooy am nag, bu fekkee gis ngeen Doomu nit ki dellu, yéeg fa mu jëkkoon a nekk?

⁶² Then what if you would see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?

⁶³ Xelu Yàlla mi mooy joxe dund; ñam wi jariñul dara. Kàddu yi ma leen wax, ci Xelum Yàlla lañu jóge te ñooy joxe dund.

⁶³ It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.

⁶⁴ Waaye am na ci seen biir ñu ko gëmul.» Ndaxte Yeesu xamoon na ca njàlbéen ga ñan ñoo ko waroon a gëmadi ak kan moo ko waroon a wor.

⁶⁴ But there are some of you who don’t believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who didn’t believe, and who it was who would betray him.

⁶⁵ Mu dolli ca it ne: «Looloo tax ma ne, kenn mënul a ñëw ci man te Baay bi mayu la, nga agsi.»

⁶⁵He said, “For this cause have I said to you that no one can come to me, unless it is given to him by my Father.”

⁶⁶ Ci loolu taalibeem yu bare dëpp, bañatee ànd ak moom.

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

⁶⁷ Yeesu daldi wax ak fukki taalibe yi ak ñaar ne leen: «Mbaa bëgguleen a dem, yéen itam?»

⁶⁷Jesus said therefore to the twelve, “You don’t also want to go away, do you?”

⁶⁸ Simoŋ Piyeer ne ko: «Boroom bi, ci kan lanuy dem? Yaa yor kàddu yiy joxe dund gu dul jeex.

⁶⁸Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.

⁶⁹ Léegi nun gëm nanu te xam nanu ne, yaa di Aji Sell, ji jóge ci Yàlla.»

⁶⁹We have come to believe and know that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

⁷⁰ Yeesu daldi tontu ne leen: «Xanaa du maa leen tànn, yéen fukk yi ak ñaar? Moona, am na ci yéen koo xam ne seytaane la!»

⁷⁰Jesus answered them, “Didn’t I choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?”

⁷¹ Yudaa miy doomu Simoŋ Iskariyo la doon wax. Ndeke Yudaa, la muy bokk lépp ca fukki taalibe ya ak ñaar, moo ko naroon a wor.

⁷¹Now he spoke of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, for it was he who would betray him, being one of the twelve.
