< John 21 >

1 After these things, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself this way.
Nikwakayinda eezi zintu Jesu wakaliyubununa lwakwe mwini alubo kuli basikwiiya bakwe ku lwizi lwa ku Tibbaliyasi. Oobu mbombubo mbwakaliyubununa lwakwe mwini.
2 Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together.
Sayimoni Pita wakali aantomwe a Tomasi uutegwa Didimasi, Nataniel uuzwa ku Kkana mu Galili, ibana ba Zebbedi, alimwi ababili basikwiiya ba Jesu.
3 Simon Peter said to them, “I’m going fishing.” They told him, “We are also coming with you.” They immediately went out and entered into the boat. That night, they caught nothing.
Sayimoni Pita wakati kulimbabo, “Ndiyobuya ku kuloba.” Bakati kulinguwe, “Aswebo, tuyobwiinka anduwe.” Bakiinka alimwi banjila mubwaato, pesi takwe nchibakajata busiku boonse.
4 But when day had already come, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples didn’t know that it was Jesus.
Lino, nkakuli kwa chifumofumo, Jesu wakaliimvwi kunkomwe yalwizi, pesi basikwiiya tebakaziba pe kuti wakali Jesu.
5 Jesus therefore said to them, “Children, have you anything to eat?” They answered him, “No.”
Akaako Jesu wakati kulimbabo, “Yo balombwana, muli aachakulya na?” Bakamusandula, “Tatukwe.”
6 He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” They cast it therefore, and now they weren’t able to draw it in for the multitude of fish.
Wakati kulimbabo, “Kamuwaala bunsabwe bwenu kubbazu lyalulyo lwa bwaato, alimwi muyoojana zimwi.” Akaako bakawaala bunsabwe bwabo, pesi tebakakonzya pe kubukwelela mukati akaambo kakuvulisya kwe nswi.
7 That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It’s the Lord!” So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he wrapped his coat around himself (for he was naked), and threw himself into the sea.
Alimwi sikwiiya Jesu ngwakali kuyandisya kapati wakati kuli Pita, “Ngu Mwaami. “Aawo Sayimoni Pita naakamvwa kuti Mwaami, wakadelula chisamo chakwe chaanze (nkaambo wakali maya), alimwi waliwaalila mulwizi.
8 But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits away), dragging the net full of fish.
Bamwi basikwiiya bakaza mubwaato (tebakali kule pe kuzwa anyika, mbuli myaanda yobile yatukkokola kuzwa aawo), alimwi bakayobukkwela bunsabwe buzwide nswi.
9 So when they got out on the land, they saw a fire of coals there, with fish and bread laid on it.
Aawo nibakazwa aanze aatala anyika, bakabona makkala aamulilo nkakulazikidwe muswi aatala lyawo achinkwa.
10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.”
Jesu wakati kulimbabo, “Mweete zimwi nswi nzimwajata.”
11 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land, full of one hundred fifty-three great fish. Even though there were so many, the net wasn’t torn.
Sayimoni Pita wakayinka aajulu akukkwela bunsabwe aanyika, kakuzwide baswi ba pati, mwaanda omwe amakkumi musamu aatatu mbuzyakabede, pesi nikuba kuti zyakali nyingi, bunsabwe tebwakadeluka pe.
12 Jesus said to them, “Come and eat breakfast!” None of the disciples dared inquire of him, “Who are you?” knowing that it was the Lord.
Jesu wakati kulimbabo, “Kamuza akulya chilyo chachifumo.” Takwe aakati kabasikwiiya wakayanda kumubuzya kuti, “Nduweni?” Bakali zizi kuti ngu Mwaami.
13 Then Jesus came and took the bread, gave it to them, and the fish likewise.
Jesu wakaza wabweza chinkwa, alimwi wachipa kulimbabo, a nswi azilazyo.
14 This is now the third time that Jesus was revealed to his disciples after he had risen from the dead.
Oolu lwakali lwatatu Jesu kali kuliyubununa mwini kuli basikwiiya musule aakubuka kwakwe kuzwa kubafu.
15 So when they had eaten their breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.”
Nebakamana kulya chilyo chachifumo, Jesu wakati kuli Sayimoni Pita, “Sayimoni mwana wa Joni, ulandiyanda na kwiinda eezi?” Pita wakati kulinguwe, “Iyi Mwaami wangu, ulizi kuti ndilakuyanda.” Jesu wakati kulinguwe, “Sanina mbelele zyangu.”
16 He said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you.” He said to him, “Tend my sheep.”
Wakati kulinguwe lwabili, “Sayimoni mwana wa Joni, ulandiyanda na?” Pita wakati kulinguwe, “Iyi Mwaami wangu, ulizi kuti ndilakuyanda.” Jesu wakati kulinguwe, “Bamba mbelele zyangu.”
17 He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you have affection for me?” Peter was grieved because he asked him the third time, “Do you have affection for me?” He said to him, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I have affection for you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.
Wakati kulinguwe lwatatu, “Sayimoni mwana wa Joni, ulandiyanda na?” Pita wakali wanyema nkaambo Jesu wakali wamubuzya lwatatu, “Ulandiyanda na?” Wakati kulinguwe, “Mwaami, ulizizi zyoonse eezi zintu, ulizi kuti ndakuyanda.” Jesu wakati kulinguwe, “Sanina mbelele zyangu.
18 Most certainly I tell you, when you were young, you dressed yourself and walked where you wanted to. But when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you don’t want to go.”
Nchobeni, nchobeni, ndakwaambila, niwakachili muniini, wakalikulizwaatika akweenda kufumbwa nkuwakali kuyanda, pesi niwakkomena, uyootandabika maboko aako, alimwi umwi uyookuzwatika a kukubweza kukutola nkotayandi kwiinka.”
19 Now he said this, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. When he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me.”
Lino Jesu wakachaamba eechi kuchitila musyobo walufu Pita ngwatakalemeke Leza. Nakamana kwaamba eechi, wakati kuli Pita, “Nditobele.”
20 Then Peter, turning around, saw a disciple following. This was the disciple whom Jesus loved, the one who had also leaned on Jesus’ chest at the supper and asked, “Lord, who is going to betray you?”
Pita wakachebuka alimwi wabona sikwiiya ooyo Jesu ngwakali kuyandisya nkayoobubatobela, ooyo wakali aafwifwi kubbazu lya Jesu kuchiindi cha chilalilo alimwi wakati, “Mwaami, utakakuuzye?”
21 Peter, seeing him, said to Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?”
Pita wakamubona akwaambila Jesu, “Ulachita biyeni mwaalumi ooyu?”
22 Jesus said to him, “If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you? You follow me.”
Jesu wakati kulinguwe, “Na ndayanda kuti akkale kusikila ndaboola, niinzi eecho kulinduwe? Nditobele.”
23 This saying therefore went out among the brothers that this disciple wouldn’t die. Yet Jesus didn’t say to him that he wouldn’t die, but, “If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you?”
Lino aaka kaambo kakasaalila kuli babunyina, kuti ooyo sikwiiya takoyoofwa. Pesi Jesu teensi wakateedi kuli Pita kuti ooyo sikwiiya takoyoofw, pesi, “Na ndayanda kuti ukkale kusikila ndaboola, niinzi eecho kulinduwe?”
24 This is the disciple who testifies about these things, and wrote these things. We know that his witness is true.
Ooyu ngonguwe sikwiiya uupa bukamboni aatala azint, alimwi iwakalemba zintu eezi, alimwi tulizi kuti bukamboni bwakwe mbwanchoonzyo.
25 There are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they would all be written, I suppose that even the world itself wouldn’t have room for the books that would be written.
Kuli zintu zyiingi alubo Jesu nzyakachita. Na chimwi achimwi chakalembwa aansi, ndibona kuti niiba nyika lwayo teyalikunokonzya pe kubamba magwalo anoli alembwa.
