1Hili eni, naʻe folau ʻa Sisu ʻi he tahi ʻo Kāleli, ʻaia ʻoku ʻo Taipiliō.
1After these things, Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, which is also called 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 great multitude followed him, because they saw his signs which he did on those who were sick.
3Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Sisu ki ha moʻunga, pea nofo ai ia mo ʻene kau ākonga.
3Jesus went up into the mountain, and he sat there with his disciples.
4Pea naʻe ofi ʻae Lakaatu, ko e kātoanga ʻae kakai Siu.
4Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand.
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?”
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?”
6Pea naʻa ne lea ʻaki eni ko e ʻahiʻahi kiate ia: he naʻa ne ʻilo ʻe ia ʻaia te ne fai.
6He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he would 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 him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may receive a little.”
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“There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these 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.
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.
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.
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.
12Pea kuo mākona ʻakinautolu, pea tala ʻe ia ki heʻene kau ākonga, “Tānaki hono toenga, kaeʻoua naʻa liʻaki ha meʻa.”
12When they were filled, he said to his disciples, “Gather up the broken pieces which are left over, that nothing be lost.”
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 gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves, which were 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 therefore the people saw the sign which Jesus did, they said, “This is truly the prophet who comes 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.
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.
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.
17They entered into the boat, and were going over the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them.
18Pea naʻe tō ʻae fuʻu matangi pea peaua ʻae tahi.
18The sea was tossed by a great wind blowing.
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 therefore they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near to the boat; and they were afraid.
20Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, ‘Ko au pe; ʻoua ʻe manavahē.’
20But he said to them, “It is I. Don’t 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.
21They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat. Immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.
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;
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(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, boats from Tiberias came near to the place where they ate 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.
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.
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 come 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 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.
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.”
27Don’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.”
28Pea naʻa nau fehuʻi kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻae ngaahi ngāue ʻoku totonu ke mau fai ki he ʻOtua?”
28They said therefore to him, “What must we do, that we may work 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 answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom 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?
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?
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 out of 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 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.
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 that which comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world.”
34Pea naʻa nau pehē kiate ia, “ʻEiki, foaki maʻuaipē ʻae mā ni kiate kimautolu.”
34They said therefore to him, “Lord, always give us this bread.”
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 said to them, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will not be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.
36Ka naʻaku tala kiate kimoutolu, Kuo mou mamata foki kiate au, kae ʻikai tui.
36But I told you that you have seen me, and yet you don’t 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.
37All those whom the Father gives me will come to me. He who comes to me I will in no way throw out.
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 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.
39This 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.
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.”
40This 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.”
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.”
41The Jews therefore murmured concerning him, because he said, “I am the bread which came down out of 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 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’?”
43Ko ia naʻe leaange ʻa Sisu, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOua te mou felāungaʻaki ʻiate kimoutolu.
43Therefore Jesus answered them, “Don’t murmur among yourselves.
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.
44No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him; and I will raise him up in 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, ‘They will all be taught by God.’ Therefore everyone who hears from the Father and has learned, 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 he who is from God. 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.
47Most certainly, I tell you, he who believes in me 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 and 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 which comes down out of heaven, 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 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.”
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?”
52The Jews therefore contended with one another, saying, “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.
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.
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.
54He who 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 food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
56Ko ia ʻoku kai hoku sino, mo inu hoku toto, ʻoku nofo ia ʻiate au, mo au ʻiate ia.
56He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives 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.
57As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on me will also 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 which came down out of heaven—not as our fathers ate the manna and died. He 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.
59He said these things in the synagogue, as he taught 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?”
60Therefore many of his disciples, when they heard this, said, “This is a hard saying! Who can listen to 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?
61But Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said to them, “Does this cause you to stumble?
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 if you would see the Son of Man ascending 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.
63It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and 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.
64But 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.
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.”
65He said, “For this cause I have said to you that no one can come to me, unless it is given to him by my Father.”
66¶ Pea talu mei ai naʻe foki ki mui ʻae tokolahi ʻo ʻene kau ākonga, ʻo ʻikai toe ʻalu mo ia.
66At this, many of his disciples went back and walked no more with him.
67Pea lea ai ʻa Sisu ki he toko hongofulu ma toko ua, “ʻE ʻalu mo kimoutolu foki?
67Jesus said therefore to the twelve, “You don’t also want to go away, do you?”
68Pea leaange ʻa Saimone Pita kiate ia, “ʻEiki, te mau ʻalu kia hai? ʻOku ʻiate koe ʻae ngaahi lea ʻoe moʻui taʻengata.
68Simon Peter answered him, “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 have come to believe and know that you are the Christ, the Son of the living 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, “Didn’t I choose you, the twelve, and 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.
71Now he spoke of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, for it was he who would betray him, being one of the twelve.
