< John 21 >

1 After these things, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself this way.
Ebyo bwe byaggwa, Yesu n’alabikira nate abayigirizwa be, ku nnyanja ey’e Tiberiya. Yabalabikira bw’ati:
2 Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together.
Simooni Peetero, ne Tomasi ayitibwa Didumo, ne Nassanayiri ow’e Kaana eky’e Ggaliraaya, ne batabani ba Zebbedaayo, n’abayigirizwa abalala babiri, bonna baali wamu.
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.
Simooni Peetero n’abagamba nti, “ŋŋenda kuvuba.” Ne bamugamba nti, “Ka tugende ffenna.” Ne bagenda ne basaabala mu lyato. Naye ekiro ekyo kyonna ne batakwasaayo kintu.
4 But when day had already come, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples didn’t know that it was Jesus.
Bwe bwali bukya, Yesu n’ayimirira ku lubalama, naye abayigirizwa ne batamutegeera.
5 Jesus therefore said to them, “Children, have you anything to eat?” They answered him, “No.”
Yesu n’ababuuza nti, “Abaana, mukwasizzaayo?” Ne baddamu nti, “Nedda.”
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.
Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Kale musuule akatimba ku luuyi olwa ddyo olw’eryato, mujja ku kukwasa.” Awo ne basuula, naye ne batasobola kukannyulula olw’ebyennyanja ebingi bye baakwasa!
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.
Awo omuyigirizwa oyo Yesu gwe yayagalanga ennyo n’agamba Peetero nti, “Oyo Mukama waffe!” Simooni Peetero bwe yakiwulira ne yeesiba olugoye kubanga yali mu kakutu, ne yeesuula mu mazzi.
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.
Abayigirizwa abalala bo ne bajjira mu lyato nga basika akatimba akaalimu ebyennyanja. Tebaali wala n’olukalu, baali nga mita kyenda.
9 So when they got out on the land, they saw a fire of coals there, with fish and bread laid on it.
Awo bwe baatuuka ne basanga omuliro ogw’amanda nga gwaka, nga kuliko ekyennyanja n’omugaati.
10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.”
Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Muleete ku byennyanja bye muva okukwasa kaakano.”
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.
Awo Simooni Peetero n’agenda n’awalula akatimba n’akatuusa ku lukalu, nga kajjudde ebyennyanja ebinene kikumi mu ataano mu bisatu. Newaakubadde nga byali bingi bwe bityo naye akatimba tekaakutuka.
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.
Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Mujje mulye ekyenkya.” Naye ku bayigirizwa tewaali n’omu yategana ku mubuuza nti, “Ggwe ani?” Kubanga bonna baamanya nti ye Mukama waffe.
13 Then Jesus came and took the bread, gave it to them, and the fish likewise.
Yesu n’atoola omugaati n’abagabira era n’ebyennyanja n’akola bw’atyo.
14 This is now the third time that Jesus was revealed to his disciples after he had risen from the dead.
Guno gwe mulundi ogwokusatu Yesu gwe yalabikira abayigirizwa be, ng’amaze okuzuukira.
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.”
Bwe baamala okulya, Yesu n’agamba Peetero nti, “Simooni omwana wa Yokaana, onjagala okusinga bano?” Peetero n’addamu nti, “Ddala, omanyi nga nkwagala nnyo.” Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Kale liisanga abaana b’endiga zange.”
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.”
Yesu n’amubuuza omulundi ogwokubiri nti, “Simooni omwana wa Yokaana, ddala onjagala?” Peetero n’addamu nti, “Ddala, Mukama wange, omanyi nga nkwagala.” Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Kale lundanga endiga zange.”
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.
Yesu n’abuuza Peetero omulundi ogwokusatu nti, “Simooni omwana wa Yokaana, onjagala?” Peetero n’anakuwala kubanga Yesu yamubuuza omulundi ogwokusatu nti, “Onjagala?” Peetero n’amuddamu nti, “Mukama wange ggwe omanyi buli kimu, omanyi nga nkwagala.” Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Kale liisanga endiga zange.
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.”
Bwe wali ng’okyali muvubuka wasobolanga okukola buli kye wayagalanga era ng’ogenda buli gye weetaaganga naye bw’olikaddiwa oligolola emikono gyo, omuntu omulala n’akusiba n’akutwala gy’otoyagala.”
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.”
Ekyo Yesu yakyogera ng’alaga enfa Peetero gy’alifaamu okuweesa Katonda ekitiibwa. Awo n’amugamba nti, “Ngoberera.”
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?”
Peetero bwe yakyuka, n’alaba omuyigirizwa oli Yesu gwe yayagalanga ennyo nga naye agoberera. Oyo ye muyigiriza eyagalamira okumpi n’ekifuba kya Yesu nga balya ekyekiro eky’enkomerero, amale abuuze Yesu nti, “Mukama waffe ani agenda okukulyamu olukwe?”
21 Peter, seeing him, said to Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?”
Peetero bwe yamulaba kwe kubuuza Yesu nti, “Mukama wange, ate ono aliba atya?”
22 Jesus said to him, “If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you? You follow me.”
Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Bwe njagala abeerawo okutuusa lwe ndikomawo, ofaayo ki? Ggwe goberera Nze.”
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?”
Awo ekigambo ekyo ne kibuna mu booluganda nti omuyigirizwa oyo talifa. Naye Yesu teyagamba nti omuyigirizwa oyo talifa, wabula yagamba bugambi nti, “Bwe njagala abeerawo okutuusa lwe ndikomawo, ofaayo ki?”
24 This is the disciple who testifies about these things, and wrote these things. We know that his witness is true.
Oyo ye muyigirizwa akakasa bino era ye yabiwandiika. Era tumanyi nga by’ategeeza bya mazima.
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.
Waliwo n’ebintu ebirala bingi Yesu bye yakola ebitaawandiikibwa. Era singa nabyo byawandiikibwa kinnakimu, ndowooza nga n’ensi zonna tezandigiddemu bitabo ebyandiwandiikiddwa.
