1 Etter dette dro Jesus over til den andre siden av Galileasjøen, som også kalles Tiberiassjøen.

After these things Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee--that is, the sea of Tiberias.

2 En stor folkemengde fulgte etter ham fordi de så de tegnene han gjorde på de syke.

And a great number of people went after him because they saw the signs which he did on those who were ill.

3 Jesus gikk opp i fjellet og satt der med disiplene sine.

Then Jesus went up the mountain and was seated there with his disciples.

4 Påsken, jødenes høytid, nærmet seg.

Now the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was near.

5 Da Jesus løftet blikket og så en stor mengde komme til ham, sa han til Filip: Hvor kan vi kjøpe brød så alle disse får noe å spise?

Lifting up his eyes, Jesus saw a great number of people coming to where he was, and he said to Philip, Where may we get bread for all these people?

6 Dette sa han for å sette Filip på prøve, for han visste selv hva han ville gjøre.

This he said, testing him: for he had no doubt what he himself would do.

7 Filip svarte: Brød for to hundre denarer er ikke nok til at alle kan få litt.

Philip made answer, Bread to the value of two hundred pence would not be enough even to give everyone a little.

8 En av disiplene, Andreas, bror til Simon Peter, sa til Jesus,

One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to Jesus,

9 Her er en gutt som har fem byggbrød og to småfisk, men hva er det til så mange?

There is a boy here with five barley cakes and two fishes: but what is that among such a number?

10 Jesus sa: La folket sette seg ned. Det var mye gress på stedet, og de satte seg. Tallet på mennene var omkring fem tusen.

Jesus said, Let the people be seated. Now there was much grass in that place. And those seated on the grass were about five thousand.

11 Jesus tok brødene, takket Gud og delte det ut til dem som satt der, likeledes med fiskene, så mye de ville ha.

Then Jesus took the cakes and having given praise to God, he gave them to the people who were seated, and the fishes in the same way, as much as they had need of.

12 Da de var mette, sa han til disiplene: Samle restene som er til overs, så ingenting går til spille.

And when they had had enough, Jesus said to his disciples, Take up the broken bits which are over, so that nothing may be wasted.

13 De samlet dem opp og fylte tolv kurver med brødstykker, rester etter de fem byggbrødene som var blitt til overs etter at alle hadde spist.

So they took them up: twelve baskets full of broken bits of the five cakes which were over after the people had had enough.

14 Da folk så hvilket tegn han hadde gjort, sa de: Dette må virkelig være profeten som skal komme til verden!

And when the people saw the sign which he had done, they said, Truly, this is the prophet who is to come into the world.

15 Jesus skjønte at de ville komme og tvinge ham til å bli konge, så han trakk seg tilbake igjen til fjellet, helt alene.

Now when Jesus saw that the people were about to come and take him by force to make him a king, he went away again up the mountain by himself.

16 Da det ble kveld, gikk disiplene ned til sjøen.

When evening came the disciples went down to the sea;

17 De steg i en båt og seilte over sjøen til Kapernaum. Det var blitt mørkt, og Jesus var ennå ikke kommet til dem.

And they took a boat and went across the sea in the direction of Capernaum. By then it was dark and still Jesus had not come to them.

18 Sjøen begynte å bli urolig fordi det blåste kraftig.

The sea was getting rough because of a strong wind which was blowing.

19 Etter å ha rodd tre-fire mil, så de Jesus komme gående på sjøen nær båten, og de ble redde.

After they had gone three or four miles they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near to the boat; and they had great fear.

20 Men han sa til dem: Det er jeg, vær ikke redde.

But he said to them, It is I, have no fear.

21 Da ville de ta ham om bord i båten, og med det samme var båten ved land der de skulle.

Then they readily took him into the boat: and straight away the boat was at the land to which they were going.

22 Dagen etter så folket som var på den andre siden av sjøen at det bare hadde vært en liten båt der, og at Jesus ikke hadde gått i båten sammen med disiplene, men at disiplene hadde reist alene.

The day after, the people who were on the other side of the sea saw that only one small boat had been there, that Jesus had not gone in that boat with the disciples, but that the disciples had gone away by themselves.

23 Andre båter kom fra Tiberias nær stedet der de hadde spist brødet etter at Herren hadde takket.

Some other boats, however, came from Tiberias near to the place where they had taken the bread after the Lord had given praise.

24 Da folk så at verken Jesus eller disiplene var der, gikk de i båtene og dro til Kapernaum for å lete etter Jesus.

So when the people saw that Jesus was not there, or his disciples, they got into those boats and went over to Capernaum looking for Jesus.

25 Da de fant ham på den andre siden av sjøen, spurte de: Rabbi, når kom du hit?

And when they came across him on the other side of the sea they said, Rabbi, when did you come here?

26 Jesus svarte: Sannelig, jeg sier dere: Dere søker meg ikke fordi dere så tegn, men fordi dere fikk mat og ble mette.

Jesus, answering them, said, Truly I say to you, You come after me, not because you saw signs, but because you were given the bread and had enough.

27 Arbeid ikke for den mat som forgår, men for den maten som består til evig liv, den som Menneskesønnen vil gi dere. For ham har Gud, Faderen, satt sitt segl på.

Let your work not be for the food which comes to an end, but for the food which goes on for eternal life, which the Son of man will give to you, for on him has God the Father put his mark.

28 De spurte ham: Hva skal vi gjøre for å gjøre Guds gjerninger?

Then they said to him, How may we do the works of God?

29 Jesus svarte: Dette er Guds gjerning: at dere tror på ham som Gud har sendt.

Jesus, answering, said to them, This is to do the work of God: to have faith in him whom God has sent.

30 De spurte ham: Hva tegn gjør du, så vi kan se det og tro deg? Hva gjør du?

So they said, What sign do you give us, so that we may see and have faith in you? What do you do?

31 Våre fedre spiste manna i ørkenen, slik det står skrevet: Han ga dem brød fra himmelen å spise.

Our fathers had the manna in the waste land, as the Writings say, He gave them bread from heaven.

32 Jesus sa til dem: Sannelig, jeg sier dere: Det var ikke Moses som ga dere brødet fra himmelen, men det er min Far som gir dere det sanne brød fra himmelen.

Jesus then said to them, Truly I say to you, What Moses gave you was not the bread from heaven; it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.

33 For Guds brød er det brødet som kommer ned fra himmelen og gir verden liv.

The bread of God is the bread which comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world.

34 De sa til ham: Herre, gi oss alltid dette brødet.

Ah, Lord, they said, give us that bread for ever!

35 Jesus sa til dem: Jeg er livets brød. Den som kommer til meg skal aldri sulte, og den som tror på meg skal aldri tørste.

And this was the answer of Jesus: I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never be in need of food, and he who has faith in me will never be in need of drink.

36 Men jeg har sagt dere: Dere har sett meg, og likevel tror dere ikke.

But it is as I said to you: you have seen me, and still you have no faith.

37 Alle som Faderen gir meg kommer til meg, og den som kommer til meg vil jeg aldri støte bort.

Whatever the Father gives to me will come to me; and I will not send away anyone who comes to me.

38 Jeg er kommet ned fra himmelen, ikke for å gjøre min vilje, men hans som har sendt meg.

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

39 Og dette er viljen til ham som har sendt meg, at jeg ikke skal miste noen av dem han har gitt meg, men at jeg skal gi dem livets oppstandelse på den siste dagen.

And this is the pleasure of him who sent me, that I am not to let out of my hands anything which he has given me, but I am to give it new life on the last day.

40 For min Fars vilje er at hver den som ser Sønnen og tror på ham, skal ha evig liv, og jeg skal reise ham opp på den siste dagen.

This, I say, is my Father's pleasure, that everyone who sees the Son and has faith in him may have eternal life: and I will take him up on the last day.

41 Da begynte jødene å murre fordi han sa: Jeg er brødet som er kommet ned fra himmelen.

Now the Jews said bitter things about Jesus because of his words, I am the bread which came down from heaven.

42 De sa: Er ikke dette Jesus, Josefs sønn, som vi kjenner far og mor til? Hvordan kan han da si: Jeg har kommet ned fra himmelen?

And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have seen? How is it then that he now says, I have come down from heaven?

43 Jesus svarte og sa til dem: Slutt med å murre mot meg!

Jesus made answer and said, Do not say things against me, one to another.

44 Ingen kan komme til meg hvis ikke Faderen som har sendt meg, drar ham, og jeg skal reise ham opp på den siste dagen.

No man is able to come to me if the Father who sent me does not give him the desire to come: and I will take him up from the dead on the last day.

45 Profetene har skrevet: Alle skal være opplært av Gud. Alle som hører på Faderen og lærer av ham, kommer til meg.

The writings of the prophets say, And they will all have teaching from God. Everyone whose ears have been open to the teaching of the Father comes to me.

46 Ikke at noen har sett Faderen, unntatt den som er fra Gud. Han har sett Faderen.

Not that anyone has ever seen the Father; only he who is from God, he has seen the Father.

47 Sannelig, jeg sier dere: Den som tror har evig liv.

Truly I say to you, He who has faith in me has eternal life.

48 Jeg er livets brød.

I am the bread of life.

49 Fedrene deres spiste manna i ørkenen, og de døde.

Your fathers took the manna in the waste land--and they are dead.

50 Men dette er brødet som kommer ned fra himmelen, og den som spiser av det, skal ikke dø.

The bread which comes from heaven is such bread that a man may take it for food and never see death.

51 Jeg er det levende brød som er kommet ned fra himmelen. Den som spiser av dette brødet, skal leve evig. Og brødet jeg vil gi, er mitt kjød, som jeg gir til liv for verden.

I am the living bread which has come from heaven: if any man takes this bread for food he will have life for ever: and more than this, the bread which I will give is my flesh which I will give for the life of the world.

52 Jødene diskuterte heftig med hverandre og sa: Hvordan kan han gi oss sitt kjød å spise?

Then the Jews had an angry discussion among themselves, saying, How is it possible for this man to give us his flesh for food?

53 Jesus sa til dem: Sannelig, jeg sier dere: Hvis dere ikke spiser Menneskesønnens kjød og drikker hans blod, har dere ikke liv i dere.

Then Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, If you do not take the flesh of the Son of man for food, and if you do not take his blood for drink, you have no life in you.

54 Den som spiser mitt kjød og drikker mitt blod, har evig liv, og jeg skal reise ham opp på den siste dagen.

He who takes my flesh for food and my blood for drink has eternal life: and I will take him up from the dead at the last day.

55 For mitt kjød er sann mat, og mitt blod er sann drikk.

My flesh is true food and my blood is true drink.

56 Den som spiser mitt kjød og drikker mitt blod, blir i meg og jeg i ham.

He who takes my flesh for food and my blood for drink is in me and I in him.

57 Den levende Far har sendt meg, og jeg lever på grunn av Faderen. Slik skal den som spiser meg, leve på grunn av meg.

As the living Father has sent me, and I have life because of the Father, even so he who takes me for his food will have life because of me.

58 Dette er brødet som er kommet ned fra himmelen, ikke som det fedrene spiste og døde. Den som spiser av dette brødet, skal leve evig.

This is the bread which has come down from heaven. It is not like the food which your fathers had: they took of the manna, and are dead; but he who takes this bread for food will have life for ever.

59 Dette sa Jesus, mens han underviste i synagogen i Kapernaum.

Jesus said these things in the Synagogue while he was teaching at Capernaum.

60 Mange av disiplene hans som hørte dette, sa: Dette er hard tale, hvem kan høre på det?

Then, hearing this, a number of his disciples said, This is a hard saying; who is able to take in such teaching?

61 Jesus visste med seg selv at disiplene murret over det og sa til dem: Tar dette fra dere motet?

When Jesus became conscious that his disciples were protesting about what he said, he said to them, Does this give you trouble?

62 Hva da om dere ser Menneskesønnen stige opp dit hvor han var før?

What then will you say if you see the Son of man going up to where he was before?

63 Ånden gir liv, kjøttet gagner ingenting. De ordene jeg har talt til dere, er ånd og liv.

The spirit is the life giver; the flesh is of no value: the words which I have said to you are spirit and they are life.

64 Men noen av dere tror ikke. For Jesus visste fra begynnelsen hvem som ikke trodde, og hvem som kom til å forråde ham.

But still some of you have no faith. For it was clear to Jesus from the first who they were who had no faith, and who it was who would be false to him.

65 Han sa: Derfor har jeg sagt dere at ingen kan komme til meg uten at det er gitt ham av Faderen.

And he said, This is why I said to you, No man is able to come to me if he is not given the power to do so by the Father.

66 Mange av disiplene dro derfor bort og fulgte ham ikke lenger.

Because of what he said, a number of the disciples went back and would no longer go with him.

67 Jesus sa da til de tolv: Vil også dere gå bort?

So Jesus said to the twelve, Have you a desire to go away?

68 Simon Peter svarte ham: Herre, hvem skulle vi gå til? Du har det evige livs ord,

Then Simon Peter gave this answer: Lord, to whom are we to go? you have the words of eternal life;

69 og vi tror og vet at du er Guds Hellige.

And we have faith and are certain that you are the Holy One of God.

70 Jesus svarte dem: Har jeg ikke utvalgt dere tolv? Og en av dere er en djevel.

Then Jesus said, Did I not make a selection of you, the twelve, and one of you is a son of the Evil One?

71 Han mente Judas, sønn av Simon Iskariot, for han skulle forråde ham, han var en av de tolv.

He was talking of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. It was he who was to be false to Jesus--one of the twelve.
