1Hili eni, naʻe folau ʻa Sisu ʻi he tahi ʻo Kāleli, ʻaia ʻoku ʻo Taipiliō.
1After this, Jesus crossed to the other side of the Sea of Galilee (that is, the Sea of Tiberias).
2Pea muimui ʻiate ia ʻae fuʻu kakai, koeʻuhi naʻa nau mamata ki he ngaahi mana naʻa ne fai kiate kinautolu naʻe mahaki.
2A large crowd followed Him because they saw the signs He was performing on the sick.
3Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Sisu ki ha moʻunga, pea nofo ai ia mo ʻene kau ākonga.
3Then Jesus went up on the mountain and sat down with His disciples.
4Pea naʻe ofi ʻae Lakaatu, ko e kātoanga ʻae kakai Siu.
4Now the Jewish Feast of the Passover was near.
5¶ Pea hanga hake ʻe Sisu hono fofonga, ʻo mamata ki he fuʻu tokolahi ʻoku haʻu kiate ia, pea lea ia kia Filipe, “Te tau fakatau ʻae mā mei fē, ke kai ʻekinautolu ni?”
5When Jesus looked up and saw a large crowd coming toward Him, He said to Philip, “Where can we buy bread for these people to eat?”
6Pea naʻa ne lea ʻaki eni ko e ʻahiʻahi kiate ia: he naʻa ne ʻilo ʻe ia ʻaia te ne fai.
6But He was asking this to test him, for He knew what He was about to do.
7Pea talaange ʻe Filipe kiate ia, “Ko e mā ki he tenali ʻe uangeau, ʻe ʻikai lahi kiate kinautolu, koeʻuhi ke nau taki taha ha konga siʻi.”
7Philip answered, “Two hundred denarii would not buy enough bread for each of them to have a small piece.”
8Pea ko ʻene ākonga ʻe tokotaha, ko ʻAnitelū, ko e tokoua ʻo Saimone Pita, naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate ia,
8One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to Him,
9“ʻOku ʻi heni ʻae tama, ʻoku ne maʻu ʻae foʻi mā paʻale ʻe nima, mo e ika siʻi ʻe ua: ka ko e hā ia ʻi he fuʻu tokolahi?”
9“Here is a boy with five barley loaves and two small fish. But what difference will these make among so many?”
10Pea tala ʻe Sisu, “Pule ke nofo ki lalo ʻae kau tangata.” Pea naʻe mohukuʻia ʻae potu. Pea nofo ki lalo ʻae kau tangata, naʻa nau toko nima afe nai.
10“Have the people sit down,” Jesus said. Now there was plenty of grass in that place, so the men sat down, about five thousand of them.
11Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe Sisu ʻae mā; pea ne fakafetaʻi, pea tufa ia ki he kau ākonga, kae tufaki ʻe he kau ākonga kiate kinautolu naʻe nofo; pea tufaki mo e ika ke ʻoua ke nau fiu.
11Then Jesus took the loaves and the fish, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted.
12Pea kuo mākona ʻakinautolu, pea tala ʻe ia ki heʻene kau ākonga, “Tānaki hono toenga, kaeʻoua naʻa liʻaki ha meʻa.”
12And when everyone was full, He said to His disciples, “Gather the pieces that are left over, so that nothing will be wasted.”
13Ko ia naʻa nau tānaki ia, ʻo fakafonu ʻae kato ʻe hongofulu ma ua, ʻi he toenga mā paʻale ʻe nima, ka kuo hili ʻae kai ʻae kakai.
13So they collected them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten.
14Pea ʻi he mamata ʻe he kau tangata ko ia ki he mana kuo fai ʻe Sisu, naʻa nau pehē, “Tā ko e moʻoni ko eni ʻae palōfita naʻe pehē ʻe haʻu ki māmani.”
14When the people saw the sign that Jesus had performed, they began to say, “Truly this is the Prophet who is to come into the world.”
15¶ Pea kuo ʻilo ʻe Sisu te nau haʻu ʻo puke fakamālohi ia, ke fakanofo ia ko e tuʻi, naʻa ne toe ʻalu tokotaha pe ki ha moʻunga.
15Then Jesus, realizing that they were about to come and make Him king by force, withdrew again to a mountain by Himself.
16Pea kuo hoko ʻae efiafi, naʻe ʻalu ʻene kau ākonga ki tahi,
16When evening came, His disciples went down to the sea,
17ʻO heka vaka, pea taumuʻa ki Kapaneume. Pea kuo poʻuli, ka ʻoku teʻeki hoko mai ʻa Sisu kiate kinautolu.
17got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was already dark, and Jesus had not yet gone out to them.
18Pea naʻe tō ʻae fuʻu matangi pea peaua ʻae tahi.
18A strong wind was blowing, and the sea grew agitated.
19Pea hili ʻenau ʻaʻalo ʻi he maile ʻe tolu mo e toe, naʻa nau mamata kia Sisu ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ʻi he tahi, mo ʻunuʻunu mai ki he vaka: pea naʻa nau manavahē.
19When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the sea—and they were terrified.
20Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, ‘Ko au pe; ʻoua ʻe manavahē.’
20But Jesus spoke up: “It is I; do not be afraid.”
21Pea naʻa nau maʻu loto fiefia ia ki he vaka; pea tau leva ʻae vaka ki he fonua naʻa nau folau ki ai.
21Then they were willing to take Him into the boat, and at once the boat reached the shore where they were heading.
22¶ Pea ko e ʻaho naʻa na feholoi, ʻi he mamata ʻae kakai naʻe tutuʻu ʻi he kauvai ʻe taha, naʻe ʻikai ha vaka ʻi ai ka ko ia pe naʻe heka ai ʻene kau ākonga, pea naʻe ʻikai ʻalu ʻa Sisu ki he vaka mo ʻene kau ākonga, ka naʻe folau ʻa ʻene kau ākonga pe;
22The next day, the crowd that had remained on the other side of the sea realized that only one boat had been there, and that Jesus had not boarded it with His disciples, but they had gone away alone.
23(Ka naʻe haʻu ʻae ngaahi vaka kehe mei Taipiliō, ʻo ofi ki he potu naʻa nau kai mā ai, ʻi he hili ʻae fakafetaʻi ʻe he ʻEiki:)
23However, some boats from Tiberias landed near the place where the people had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.
24Pea ʻi he mamata ʻae kakai ʻoku ʻikai ʻi ai ʻa Sisu, pe ko ʻene kau ākonga, naʻa nau heka vaka, pea haʻu ki Kapaneume, ʻo kumi ʻa Sisu.
24So when the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor His disciples were there, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum to look for Him.
25Pea ʻi heʻenau ʻilo ia ʻi he kauvai ʻe taha, naʻa nau fehuʻi kiate ia, Lāpai, naʻa ke haʻu ʻanefē ki heni?
25When they found Him on the other side of the sea, they asked Him, “Rabbi, when did You get here?”
26Pea leaange ʻa Sisu kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, ʻoku ʻikai te mou kumi au, koeʻuhi ko hoʻomou mamata ki he ngaahi mana, ka ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomou kai ʻi he ngaahi foʻi mā, pea mākona.
26Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, it is not because you saw these signs that you are looking for Me, but because you ate the loaves and had your fill.
27ʻOua ʻe ngāue ki he meʻakai ʻoku ʻauha, ka ki he meʻakai ʻoku tolonga ki he moʻui taʻengata, ʻaia ʻe foaki ʻe he Foha ʻoe tangata kiate kimoutolu: he kuo fakaʻilonga ia ʻe he ʻOtua ko e Tamai.”
27Do not work for food that perishes, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on Him God the Father has placed His seal of approval.”
28Pea naʻa nau fehuʻi kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻae ngaahi ngāue ʻoku totonu ke mau fai ki he ʻOtua?”
28Then they inquired, “What must we do to perform the works of God?”
29Pea leaange ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko eni ʻae ngāue ki he ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ke mou tui kiate ia kuo ne fekau.”
29Jesus replied, “The work of God is this: to believe in the One He has sent.”
30Pea naʻa nau pehē ai kiate ia, “Ko e hā ha fakaʻilonga ʻoku ke fai, koeʻuhi ke mau mamata, kae tui kiate koe? Ko e hā ʻoku ke fai?
30So they asked Him, “What sign then will You perform, so that we may see it and believe You? What will You do?
31Naʻe kai ʻae mana ʻe heʻemau ngaahi tamai ʻi he toafa; ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi, ‘Naʻe foaki ʻe ia ʻae mā mei he langi kiate kinautolu ke nau kai.’”
31Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, as it is written: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’”
32Pea lea ʻa Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, naʻe ʻikai foaki ʻe Mōsese ʻae mā ko ia mei he langi kiate kimoutolu; ka ʻoku foaki ʻe heʻeku Tamai ʻae mā moʻoni mei he langi kiate kimoutolu.
32Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.
33He ko ia ʻae mā ʻae ʻOtua ʻaia ʻoku ʻalu hifo mei he langi, ʻo foaki ʻae moʻui ki māmani.”
33For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
34Pea naʻa nau pehē kiate ia, “ʻEiki, foaki maʻuaipē ʻae mā ni kiate kimautolu.”
34“Sir,” they said, “give us this bread at all times.”
35Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Ko au ko e mā ʻoe moʻui: ko ia ʻoku haʻu kiate au, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito fiekaia; pea ko ia ʻoku tui kiate au, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito fieinu ia.
35Jesus answered, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to Me will never hunger, and whoever believes in Me will never thirst.
36Ka naʻaku tala kiate kimoutolu, Kuo mou mamata foki kiate au, kae ʻikai tui.
36But as I stated, you have seen Me and still you do not believe.
37Ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku foaki ʻe he Tamai kiate au, ʻe haʻu ia kiate au; pea ko ia ʻoku haʻu kiate au, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito teu siʻaki.
37Everyone the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will never drive away.
38Naʻe ʻikai te u ʻalu hifo mei he langi ke fai hoku loto ʻoʻoku, ka ko e finangalo ʻo ia naʻa ne fekauʻi au.
38For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but to do the will of Him who sent Me.
39Pea ko e finangalo eni ʻoe Tamai naʻa ne fekau au, koeʻuhi ko ia kotoa pē kuo ne foaki kiate au, ke ʻoua naʻa mole ha tokotaha, kae fokotuʻu ia ʻi he ʻaho fakamui.
39And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall lose none of those He has given Me, but raise them up at the last day.
40Pea ko e finangalo eni ʻo ia naʻa ne fekau au, koeʻuhi ko ia fulipē ʻoku mamata ki he ʻAlo, pea tui kiate ia, ke ne maʻu ʻae moʻui taʻengata; pea te u fokotuʻu ia ʻi he ʻaho fakamui.”
40For it is My Father’s will that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.”
41Pea naʻe lāunga ai ʻae kakai Siu kiate ia, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene pehē, “Ko au ko e mā naʻe ʻalu hifo mei he langi.”
41At this, the Jews began to grumble about Jesus because He had said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.”
42Pea naʻa nau pehē, “ʻIkai ko Sisu eni, ko e foha ʻo Siosefa, ko e tamai mo e faʻē ʻaʻana ʻoku tau ʻilo? Pea ʻoku fēfeeʻi ʻene pehē, Naʻaku ʻalu hifo mei he langi?”
42They were asking, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then can He say, ‘I have come down from heaven?’”
43Ko ia naʻe leaange ʻa Sisu, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOua te mou felāungaʻaki ʻiate kimoutolu.
43“Stop grumbling among yourselves,” Jesus replied.
44ʻE ʻikai ha tangata ʻe faʻa haʻu kiate au, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai tohoaki ia ʻe he Tamai ʻaia naʻa ne fekauʻi au: pea te u fokotuʻu ia ʻi he ʻaho fakamui.
44“No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.
45Kuo tohi ʻi he kau palōfita, ‘Pea ʻe akonekina ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻi he ʻOtua.’ Ko ia ko e tangata kotoa pē kuo fanongo, pea kuo akonekina ʻi he Tamai, ʻoku haʻu ia kiate au.
45It is written in the Prophets: ‘And they will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from Him comes to Me—
46ʻOku ʻikai ha tangata kuo ne mamata ki he Tamai: ka ko ia pe ʻoku mei he ʻOtua, kuo mamata ia ki he Tamai.
46not that anyone has seen the Father except the One who is from God; only He has seen the Father.
47Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, Ko ia ʻoku tui kiate au, ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻae moʻui taʻengata.
47Truly, truly, I tell you, he who believes has eternal life.
48Ko au ko e mā ko ia ʻoe moʻui.
48I am the bread of life.
49Naʻe kai ʻae mana ʻe hoʻomou ngaahi tamai ʻi he toafa, ka naʻa nau mate.
49Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died.
50Ko eni ʻae mā ʻoku ʻalu hifo mei he langi, ʻaia ʻoku kai ʻe ha tangata, pea ʻikai mate.
50This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that anyone may eat of it and not die.
51Ko au ko e mā moʻui kuo ʻalu hifo mei he langi: kapau ʻe kai ʻe ha tangata ʻae mā ni, ʻe moʻui taʻengata ia: pea ko e mā ʻoku ou foaki ko hoku sino, ʻaia te u foaki ke moʻui ai ʻa māmani.”
51I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And this bread, which I will give for the life of the world, is My flesh.”
52Ko ia naʻe fakakikihi ai ʻae kakai Siu ʻiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “ʻE faʻa foaki fēfeeʻi ʻe he tangata ni hono sino ke tau kai?”
52At this, the Jews began to argue among themselves, “How can this man give us His flesh to eat?”
53Pea lea ʻa Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, Kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou kai ʻae sino ʻoe Foha ʻoe tangata, mo inu hono toto, ʻoku ʻikai ha moʻui ʻiate kimoutolu.
53So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of Man, you have no life in you.
54Ko ia ʻoku ne kai hoku sino, mo inu hoku toto, ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻae moʻui taʻengata; pea te u fokotuʻu ia ʻi he ʻaho fakamui.
54Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.
55He ko hoku sino ko e meʻakai moʻoni, pea ko hoku toto ko e inu moʻoni.
55For My flesh is real food, and My blood is real drink.
56Ko ia ʻoku kai hoku sino, mo inu hoku toto, ʻoku nofo ia ʻiate au, mo au ʻiate ia.
56Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood remains in Me, and I in him.
57ʻO hangē ʻoku moʻui ʻae Tamai naʻa ne fekau au, pea ʻoku ou moʻui ʻi he Tamai: ʻoku pehē, ko ia ʻoku ne kai ʻiate au, ko ia pe ʻe moʻui ʻiate au.
57Just as the living Father sent Me and I live because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on Me will live because of Me.
58Ko eni ʻae mā ko ia naʻe ʻalu hifo mei he langi: ʻo ʻikai tatau mo e kai ʻae mana ʻe hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, pea nau mate: ko ia ʻoku kai ʻae mā ni, ʻe moʻui ia ʻo taʻengata.”
58This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your fathers, who ate the manna and died, the one who eats this bread will live forever.”
59¶ Naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni ʻi he falelotu, ʻi heʻene akonaki ʻi Kapaneume.
59Jesus said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.
60Pea ʻi he fanongo ki ai ʻene kau ākonga tokolahi, naʻa nau pehē, “Ko e lea faingataʻa eni: ko hai ʻoku faʻa ʻilo ia?”
60On hearing it, many of His disciples said, “This is a difficult teaching. Who can accept it?”
61Pea ʻilo ʻe Sisu ʻiate ia ʻoku lāunga ai ʻene kau ākonga, pea lea ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku tūkia ʻakimoutolu ʻi he meʻa ni?
61Aware that His disciples were grumbling about this teaching, Jesus asked them, “Does this offend you?
62Pea ʻe fēfē ʻoka mou ka mamata ki he Foha ʻoe tangata ʻoku ʻalu hake ki he potu naʻe ʻi ai ia ʻi muʻa?
62Then what will happen if you see the Son of Man ascend to where He was before?
63Ko e laumālie ia ʻoku ne fakamoʻui; ʻoku ʻikai hano ʻaonga ʻoe sino: ko e lea ʻoku ou lea ʻaki kiate kimoutolu, ko e laumālie ia pea mo e moʻui.
63The Spirit gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life.
64Ka ʻoku ai homou niʻihi ʻoku ʻikai tui. He naʻe ʻilo ʻe Sisu mei he kamataʻanga ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻikai tui, mo ia te ne lavakiʻi ia.
64However, there are some of you who do not believe.” (For Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray Him.)
65ʻO ne pehē, “Ko ia ne u pehē ai kiate kimoutolu, ʻOku ʻikai faʻa haʻu ha tangata kiate au, ka ʻi hono foaki kiate ia mei heʻeku Tamai.”
65Then Jesus said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to Me unless the Father has granted it to him.”
66¶ Pea talu mei ai naʻe foki ki mui ʻae tokolahi ʻo ʻene kau ākonga, ʻo ʻikai toe ʻalu mo ia.
66From that time on many of His disciples turned back and no longer walked with Him.
67Pea lea ai ʻa Sisu ki he toko hongofulu ma toko ua, “ʻE ʻalu mo kimoutolu foki?
67So Jesus asked the Twelve, “Do you want to leave too?”
68Pea leaange ʻa Saimone Pita kiate ia, “ʻEiki, te mau ʻalu kia hai? ʻOku ʻiate koe ʻae ngaahi lea ʻoe moʻui taʻengata.
68Simon Peter replied, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.
69Pea ʻoku mau tui pea ʻilo pau ko koe ko e Kalaisi, ko e ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua moʻui.”
69We believe and know that You are the Holy One of God.”
70Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻIkai naʻaku fili ʻakimoutolu ko e toko hongofulu ma toko ua, pea ko homou tokotaha ko e tēvolo?”
70Jesus answered them, “Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil!”
71Ko ʻene lea ia kia Siutasi ʻIsikaliote, ko e foha ʻo Saimone: he ko ia te ne lavakiʻi ia, ko e taha ia ʻoe toko hongofulu ma toko ua.
71He was speaking about Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. For although Judas was one of the Twelve, he was later to betray Jesus.
