Johani 6

¹Shure kwaizvozvo Jesu wakaenda mhiri kwegungwa reGarirea, ndiro reTiberiasi.After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.

²Vanhu vazhinji zhinji vakamutevera, nokuti vakavona zviratidzo zvaaita kuvarwere.And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.

³Jesu akakwira mugomo, akagaramo navadzidzi vake.And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.

⁴Paseka mutambo wavaJudha, wakanga uri pedo.And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.

⁵Zvino wakati achitarira, akavona vanhu vazhinji zhinji vachivuya kwaari, akati kuna Firipo: Tingatengepiko zvingwa, kuti vanhu ava vadye?When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?

⁶Wakareva izvozvo achimuidza, nokuti iye wakaziva amene zvaakanga achida kuita.And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.

⁷Firipo akamupindura achiti: Zvingwa zvamadenari anamazana maviri* hazvingavaringani, kuti mumwe nomumwe atore zvishoma.Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.

⁸Zvino mumwe wavadzidzi vake, Andreasi, munun’una waSimoni Petro, akati kwaari:One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, saith unto him,

⁹Pano panomukomana, unezvingwa zvishanu zvebhari nehove mbiri; asi izvi zvingakwanira sei vanhu vazhinji vakadai?There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?

¹⁰Jesu akati: Garisai vanhu pasi. Zvino kwakanga kunovuswa bwuzhinji ipapo. Naizvozvo varume vakagara pasi, kuwanda kwavo kunenge zvuru zvishanu.And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

¹¹Zvino Jesu akatora zvingwa; akavonga, akazvipa vakanga vagere pasi; nehove vo saizvozvo pavaida napo.And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.

¹²Zvino vakati vaguta, akati kuvadzidzi vake; Vunganidzai zvimedu zvakasara, kuti kurege kurashika chinhu.When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.

¹³Ipapo vakazvivunganidza, vakazadza matengu anegumi namaviri nezvimedu zvezvingwa zvishanu zvebari, zvakanga zvasara kuna vakadya.Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.

¹⁴Zvino vanhu vakati vavona chiratidzo chaakaita, vakati: Zvirokwazvo uyu ndiye uya muporofita, unovuya panyika.Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.

¹⁵Zvino Jesu, zvaakaziva kuti vodo kuvuya kumubata nesimba kuzomuita mambo, akabva zve akaenda mugomo ari oga.When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.

¹⁶Zvino ava madekwana, vadzidzi vake vakaburukira kugungwa;And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea,

¹⁷vakapinda mugwa, vakatanga kuyambuka gungwa kuenda Kapernaume. Zvino kwakanga kwasviba, asi Jesu wakanga asati asvika kwavari.And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them.

¹⁸Gungwa rikatanga kumutswa nemhepo huru yaivhuvhuta.And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.

¹⁹Zvino vakati vakwasva zvikuru mastadia anenge makumi maviri namashanu, kana makumi matatu,* vakavona Jesu achifamba pamusoro pegungwa, achiswedera pedo negwa; vakatya.So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid.

²⁰Asi iye akati kwavari: Ndini, musatya.But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.

²¹Zvino vakafara kumugamuchira mugwa, igwa rikasvika pakarepo kunyika kwavakanga vachienda.Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.

²²Ava mangwana vanhu vazhinji, vakanga vamire mhiri kwegungwa, vakavona kuti pakanga pasine rimwe igwa duku ipapo, asi iro rimwe makanga mapinda vadzidzi vake, mariri, vuye kuti Jesu haana kupinda mugwa navadzidzi vake, asi kuti vadzidzi vake vakanga vaenda voga.The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were gone away alone;

²³(Asi mamwe magwa maduku akanga abva Tiberiasi, akasvika pedo pavakadyira zvingwa, Ishe ambovonga).(Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:)

²⁴Zvino vanhu vazhinji vakati vavona, kuti Jesu haapo, navadzidzi vake, vakapinda vamene mumagwa maduku, vakasvika Kapernaume, vachitsvaka Jesu.When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.

²⁵Zvino vakati vamuwana mhiri kwegungwa, vakati kwaari: Rabhi, mavuya pano riniko?And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?

²⁶Jesu akavapindura, akati: Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri: Hamunditsvaki nokuti makavona zviratidzo, asi nokuti makadya zvingwa mukaguta.Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.

²⁷Musabatira zvokudya zvinopera, asi zvokudya zvinogara kuvupenyu bwusingaperi, zvamuchapiwa noMwanakomana womunhu; nokuti Baba, vakaisa chisimbiso kwaari.Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.

²⁸Zvino vakati kwaari: Tichaiteiko, kuti tibate mabasa aMwari?Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?

²⁹Jesu akapindura, akati kwavari: Basa raMwari ndiro, kuti mutende kuna iye waakatuma.Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

³⁰Zvino vakati kwaari: Munoita chiratidzo chipiko, kuti tivone, tikutendei? Imi munobateiko?They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?

³¹Madzibaba edu akadya mana murenje, sezvazvakanyorwa, zvichinzi: Wakavapa chingwa chakabva kudenga, kuti vadye.Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.

³²Zvino Jesu akati kwavari: Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri: Wakanga asi iye Mosesi, wakakupai chingwa chakabva kudenga, asi ndiBaba vangu vanokupai chingwa chazvokwadi, chinobva kudenga.Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.

³³Nokuti chingwa chaMwari ndiye unoburuka achibva kudenga, unopa nyika vupenyu.For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.

³⁴Zvino vakati kwaari: Ishe, tipei chingwa ichi misi yose.Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.

³⁵Jesu akati kwavari: Ndini chingwa chovupenyu; unovuya kwandiri, haangatongovi nenzara, nounotenda kwandiri haangatongovi nenyota.And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

³⁶Asi ndakakuvudzai, kuti makandivona, asi hamutendi.But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.

³⁷Zvose Baba zvavanondipa zvichavuya kwandiri; nounovuya kwandiri, handingatongomurashiri kunze.All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

³⁸Nokuti handina kuburuka kudenga, kuti ndiite kuda kwangu, asi kuda kwowakandituma.For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

³⁹Uku ndiko kuda kwababa vakandituma kuti, pazvose zvaakandipa, ndisarasikirwa nechinhu, asi kuti ndichimutse nezuva rokupedzisira.And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

⁴⁰Nokuti kuda kwaBaba vangu ndiko, kuti mumwe nomumwe, unotarira Mwanakomana, nokutenda kwaari, ave novupenyu bwusingaperi; neni ndichamumutsa nezuva rokupedzisira.And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

⁴¹Zvino vaJudha vakan’un’una pamusoro pake, nokuti wakati: Ndini chingwa chakaburuka kudenga.The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.

⁴²Vakati: Uyu haazi Jesu, Mwanakomana waJosefa, watinoziva baba namai vake here? Zvino ungagoti seiko: Ndakaburuka kudenga.And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?

⁴³Jesu akapindura, akati kwavari: Musan’un’una pakati penyu.Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.

⁴⁴Hakuno munhu ungavuya kwandiri, kana Baba, vakandituma, vasingamukwevi; neni ndichamumutsa nezuva rokupedzisira.No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

⁴⁵Muvaporofita makanyorwa, muchinzi: Vachadzidziswa vose naMwari. Mumwe nomumwe wakazvinzwa kunaBaba, akadzidza, unovuya kwandiri.It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.

⁴⁶Handirevi kuti kuno munhu wakavona Baba; asi uyo uri waMwari, ndiye wakavona Baba.Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.

⁴⁷Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri: Unotenda, kwandiri unovupenyu bwusingaperi.Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.

⁴⁸Ndini chingwa chovupenyu.I am that bread of life.

⁴⁹Madzibaba enyu akadya mana murenje, akafa.Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.

⁵⁰ichi ndicho chingwa, chinoburuka kudenga, kuti munhu achidye, arege kufa.This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.

⁵¹Ndini chingwa chipenyu, chakaburuka kudenga; kana munhu achidya chingwa ichi; uchararama nokusingaperi; chingwa chandichapa, inyama yangu, bwuve vupenyu bwenyika.I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

⁵²Zvino vaJudha vakakakavadzana pakati pavo, vachiti: Munhu uyu ungatipa seiko nyama yake, tidye?The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

⁵³Jesu akati kwavari: Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri: Kana musingadyi nyama yoMwanakomana womunhu, nokumwa ropa rake, hamunovupenyu mamuri.Then Jesus 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 no life in you.

⁵⁴Aninani unodya nyama yangu, nounomwa ropa rangu, unovupenyu bwusingaperi; ini ndichamumutsa nezuva rokupedzisira.Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

⁵⁵Nokuti nyama yangu izvokudya chaizvo, neropa rangu zvokumwa chaizvo.For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

⁵⁶Unodya nyama yangu, nounomwa ropa rangu, unogara mandiri, neni maari.He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.

⁵⁷Baba vapenyu, sezvavakandituma, neni ndichararama naBaba; saizvozvo unondidya, uchararama neni.As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.

⁵⁸Ichi chingwa chakaburuka kudenga; hazvina kuita samadzibaba akadya mana akafa; unodya chingwa ichi uchararama nokusingaperi.This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.

⁵⁹Wakareva zvinhu izvi musinagoge, achidzidzisa paKapernaume.These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.

⁶⁰Zvino vazhinji vavadzidzi vake vakati vachizvinzwa, vakati: Iri shoko igukutu; ndianiko ungarinzwa?Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?

⁶¹Asi Jesu, zvaakanga achiziva mumoyo make kuti vadzidzi vake vanon’un’una neshoko irero, akati kwavari: Iri shoko rinokugumbusai kanhi?When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?

⁶²Muchagodiniko kana muchivona Mwanakomana womunhu achikwira kwaaiva pakutanga?What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?

⁶³Mweya ndiye unoraramisa, nyama hainamaturo; mashoko andakataura kwamuri, ndiwo mweya novupenyu.It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

⁶⁴Asi vamwe venyu variko vasingatendi, nokuti Jesu wakanga achiziva kubva pakutanga, kuti vaisatenda ndivanani, vuye kuti ndiani waizomupandukira,But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.

⁶⁵Akati: Nemhaka iyi ndakati kwamuri, kuti hakuno munhu ungavuya kwandiri, kana asina kuzvipiwa naBaba.And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.

⁶⁶Kubva panguva iyo vadzidzi vake vazhinji vakadzokera shure, vakasazofamba naye,From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.

⁶⁷Jesu akati kuna vanegumi navaviri: Nemi muchaendawo here?Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?

⁶⁸Simoni Petro akamupindura, akati: Ishe, tichagoenda kunaniko? Ndimi muna mashoko ovupenyu bwusingaperi,Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.

⁶⁹Isu takatenda vuye tine chokwadi kuti ndimwi uya Kristu Mwanakomana waMwari mupenyu.And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.

⁷⁰Jesu akapindura akati: handina kukusanangurai, imi vanegumi navaviri here? asi mumwe wenyu ndowa Dhiabhurosi.Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?

⁷¹Wakareva Judhasi, Isikarioti, mwanakomana waSimoni, nokuti iye ndiye waizomupandukira, ari mumwe wavanegumi navaviri.He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.
