Yohana 6
Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Baada ya hayo, Yesu alivuka ziwa Galilaya (au Ziwa Tiberia).
1After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is that 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 saw the miracles which he did on them that were diseased.
3Yesu alipanda mlimani, akaketi pamoja na wanafunzi wake.
3Jesus therefore went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.
4Sikukuu ya Wayahudi iitwayo Pasaka ilikuwa imekaribia.
4Now the pasch, the festival day of the Jews, was near at hand.
5Basi, Yesu na alipotazama na kuona umati wa watu ukija kwake, alimwambia Filipo, “Tununue wapi mikate ili watu hawa wapate kula?”
5When Jesus therefore had lifted up his eyes, and seen that a very great multitude cometh to him, he said to Philip: Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?
6(Alisema hivyo kwa kumjaribu Filipo, kwani alijua mwenyewe atakalofanya.)
6And this he said to try 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 pennyworth 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, the brother of Simon Peter, saith to 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 boy here that 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.
10Then Jesus said: Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. The men therefore 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.
11And Jesus took the loaves: and when he had given thanks, he distributed to them that were set down. In like manner 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 said to his disciples: Gather up the fragments that remain, lest they be lost.
13Basi, wakakusanya vipande vya mikate ya shayiri walivyobakiza wale watu waliokula, wakajaza vikapu kumi na viwili.
13They gathered up therefore, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above to them that had eaten.
14Watu walipoiona ishara hiyo aliyoifanya Yesu, wakasema, “Hakika huyu ndiye nabii anayekuja ulimwenguni.”
14Now those men, when they had seen what a miracle Jesus had done, said: This is of a truth the prophet, that is to come into the world.
15Yesu akajua ya kuwa watu walitaka kumchukua wamfanye mfalme, akaondoka tena, akaenda mlimani peke yake.
15Jesus therefore, when he knew that they would come to take him by force, and make him king, fled again into the mountain himself alone.
16Ilipokuwa jioni wanafunzi wake waliteremka hadi ziwani,
16And when evening was come, his disciples went down to the sea.
17wakapanda mashua ili wavuke kwenda Kafarnaumu. Giza lilikuwa limeingia, na Yesu alikuwa hajawafikia bado.
17And when they had gone up into a ship, they went over the sea to Capharnaum; and it was now dark, and Jesus was not come unto them.
18Ziwa likaanza kuchafuka kwa sababu upepo mkali ulikuwa unavuma.
18And the sea arose, 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 they had rowed therefore about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking upon the sea, and drawing nigh to the ship, and they were afraid.
20Yesu akawaambia, “Ni mimi, msiogope!”
20But he saith to 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 take him into the ship; and presently the ship was at the land to which 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.
22The next day, the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea, saw that there was no other ship there but one, and that Jesus had not entered into the ship with his disciples, but that his disciples were gone away alone.
23Mashua nyingine kutoka Tiberia zilifika mahali hapo watu walipokula ile mikate, Bwana alipokwisha mshukuru Mungu.
23But other ships came in from Tiberias; nigh unto the place where they had eaten the bread, the Lord giving thanks.
24Basi, hao watu walipogundua kwamba Yesu na wanafunzi wake hawakuwapo mahali hapo, walipanda mashua, wakaenda Kafarnaumu wakimtafuta.
24When therefore the multitude saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they took shipping, and came to Capharnaum, seeking for Jesus.
25Wale watu walipomkuta Yesu ng'ambo ya pili wa ziwa walimwuliza, “Mwalimu, ulifika lini hapa?”
25And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said to 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: Amen, amen I say to you, you seek me, not because you have seen miracles, but because you did eat 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.”
27Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that which endureth unto life everlasting, which the Son of man will give you. For him hath God, the Father, sealed.
28Wao wakamwuliza, “Tufanye nini ili tuweze kuzitenda kazi za Mungu?”
28They said therefore unto him: What shall 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 to them: This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he hath sent.
30Hapo wakamwambia, “Utafanya ishara gani ili tuione tupate kukuamini? Utafanya kitu gani?
30They said therefore to him: What sign therefore dost thou shew, that we may see, and may believe thee? What dost thou work?
31Wazee wetu walikula mana kule jangwani, kama yasemavyo Maandiko: Aliwalisha mkate kutoka mbinguni.”
31Our fathers did eat manna in the desert, as it is written: He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
32Yesu akawaambia, “Kweli nawaambieni, Mose hakuwapeni mkate kutoka mbinguni; Baba yangu ndiye awapaye ninyi mkate halisi kutoka mbinguni.
32Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say to you; Moses gave you not bread from heaven, but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
33Maana mkate wa Mungu ni yule ashukaye kutoka mbinguni na aupaye ulimwengu uzima.”
33For the bread of God is that which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life to the world.
34Basi, wakamwambia, “Mheshimiwa, tupe daima mkate huo.”
34They said therefore unto him: Lord, give us always this bread.
35Yesu akawaambia, “Mimi ndimi mkate wa uzima. Anayekuja kwangu hataona njaa; anayeniamini hataona kiu kamwe.
35And Jesus said to them: I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall not hunger: and he that believeth in me shall never thirst.
36Lakini niliwaambieni kwamba ingawa mmeniona hamniamini.
36But I said unto you, that you also have seen me, and you believe not.
37Wote anaonipa Baba watakuja kwangu; nami sitamtupa nje yeyote anayekuja kwangu,
37All that the Father giveth to me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me, I will not cast out.
38kwani nimeshuka kutoka mbinguni si kwa ajili ya kufanya matakwa yangu, ila kutimiza matakwa ya yule aliyenituma.
38Because I came down from heaven, not to do my 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.
39Now this is the will of the Father who sent me: that of all that he hath given me, I should lose nothing; but should raise it up again in the last day.
40Maana anachotaka Baba yangu ndicho hiki: kila amwonaye Mwana na kumwamini awe na uzima wa milele; nami nitamfufua Siku ya mwisho.”
40And this is the will of my Father that sent me: that every one who seeth the Son, and believeth in him, may have life everlasting, and I will raise him up in the last day.
41Basi, Wayahudi wakaanza kunung'unika kwa kuwa alisema: “Mimi ni mkate ulioshuka kutoka mbinguni.”
41The Jews therefore murmured at him, because he had said: I am the living bread which came down from 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 then saith he, I came down from heaven?
43Yesu akawaambia, “Acheni kunung'unika ninyi kwa ninyi.
43Jesus therefore answered, and said to 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, who hath 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 of the Father, and hath learned, cometh to 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; but he who is of God, he hath seen the Father.
47Kweli, nawaambieni, anayeamini anao uzima wa milele.
47Amen, amen I say unto you: He that believeth in me, hath everlasting life.
48Mimi ni mkate wa uzima.
48I am the bread of life.
49Wazee wenu walikula mana kule jangwani, lakini walikufa.
49Your fathers did eat manna in the desert, and are dead.
50Huu ndio mkate kutoka mbinguni; mkate ambao anayekula hatakufa.
50This is the bread which cometh down from heaven; that if any man eat of it, he may 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 from heaven.
52Ndipo Wayahudi wakaanza kubishana kati yao:
52If any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever; and the bread that I will give, is my flesh, for the life of the world.
53Yesu akawaambia, “Kweli nawaambieni, msipokula mwili wa Mwana wa Mtu na kunywa damu yake, hamtakuwa na uzima ndani yenu.
53The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying: How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
54Anayekula mwili wangu na kunywa damu yangu anao uzima wa milele nami nitamfufua siku ya mwisho.
54Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say unto you: Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you.
55Maana mwili wangu ni chakula cha kweli, na damu yangu ni kinywaji cha kweli.
55He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day.
56Aulaye mwili wangu na kunywa damu yangu, akaa ndani yangu, nami nakaa ndani yake.
56For my flesh is meat indeed: and my blood is drink indeed.
57Baba aliye hai alinituma, nami naishi kwa sababu yake; vivyo hivyo anilaye mimi ataishi pia kwa sababu yangu.
57He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, abideth in me, and I in him.
58Basi, huu ndio mkate ulioshuka kutoka mbinguni; si kama mana waliyokula babu zetu, wakafa. Aulaye mkate huu ataishi milele.”
58As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father; so he that eateth me, the same also shall live by me.
59Yesu alisema hayo alipokuwa akifundisha katika sunagogi kule Kafarnaumu.
59This is the bread that came down from heaven. Not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead. He that eateth this bread, shall live for ever.
60Basi, wengi wa wafuasi wake waliposikia hayo, wakasema, “Haya ni mambo magumu! Nani awezaye kuyasikiliza?”
60These things he said, teaching in the synagogue, in Capharnaum.
61Yesu alijua bila kuambiwa na mtu kwamba wanafunzi wake walikuwa wananung'unika juu ya jambo hilo, akawauliza, “Je, jambo hili linawafanya muwe na mashaka?
61Many therefore of his disciples, hearing it, said: This saying is hard, and who can hear it?
62Itakuwaje basi, mtakapomwona Mwana wa Mtu akipanda kwenda kule alikokuwa kwanza?
62But Jesus, knowing in himself, that his disciples murmured at this, said to them: Doth this scandalize you?
63Roho ndiye atiaye uzima; binadamu peke yake hawezi. Maneno niliyowaambieni ni Roho, ni uzima.
63If then you shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
64Hata hivyo, wako baadhi yenu wasioamini.” (Yesu alisema hivyo kwani alijua tangu mwanzo ni kina nani wasioamini, na pia ni nani atakayemsaliti.)
64It is the spirit that quickeneth: the flesh profiteth nothing. The words that I have spoken to you, are spirit and life.
65Kisha akasema, “Ndiyo maana niliwaambieni kwamba hakuna awezaye kuja kwangu asipowezeshwa na Baba yangu.”
65But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning, who they were that did not believe, and who he was, that would betray him.
66Kutokana na hayo, wengi wa wafuasi wake walirudi nyuma wasiandamane naye tena.
66And he said: Therefore did I say to you, that no man can come to me, unless it be given him by my Father.
67Basi, Yesu akawauliza wale kumi na wawili, “Je, nanyi pia mwataka kwenda zenu?”
67After this many of his disciples went back; and walked no more with him.
68Simoni Petro akamjibu, “Bwana, tutakwenda kwa nani? Wewe unayo maneno yaletayo uzima wa milele.
68Then Jesus said to the twelve: Will you also go away?
69Sisi tunaamini, na tunajua kwamba wewe ndiwe yule Mtakatifu wa Mungu.”
69And Simon Peter answered him: Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
70Yesu akawaambia, “Je, sikuwachagua ninyi kumi na wawili? Hata hivyo, mmoja wenu ni Ibilisi!”
70And we have believed and have known, that thou art the Christ, the Son of God.
71Yesu alisema hayo juu ya Yuda, mwana wa Simoni Iskarioti; maana huyu alikuwa ndiye atakayemsaliti, ingawa alikuwa mmoja wa wale kumi na wawili.
71Jesus answered them: Have not I chosen you twelve; and one of you is a devil?
no verse 72 in this text
72Now he meant Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon: for this same was about to betray him, whereas he was one of the twelve.
