John 21
1 After that, Jesus showed himself to [us] disciples when we were at Tiberias Lake, [which is another name for Galilee Lake]. This is what happened:
Thuutha ũcio Jesũ nĩacookire akiumĩrĩra arutwo ake iria-inĩ rĩa Tiberia. Ũũ nĩguo kwahaanire:
2 Simon Peter, Thomas who was called {whom [we] called} The Twin, Nathaniel from Cana [town] in Galilee, my older brother and I, and two other disciples were together.
Simoni Petero, na Toma (ũrĩa wetagwo Wa-mahatha), na Nathanieli wa kuuma Kana ya Galili, na ariũ a Zebedi, o na arutwo angĩ eerĩ maarĩ hamwe.
3 Simon Peter said to us, “[I] am going to [try to] catch some fish.” We said, “We will go with you.” So we went down [to the lake] and got into the boat. But that night we caught nothing.
Simoni Petero akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndathiĩ gũtega thamaki.” Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Tũgũthiĩ nawe.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makiumagara, magĩtoonya marikabu, no ũtukũ ũcio matirĩ kĩndũ maagwatirie.
4 Early the next morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but we did not know that it was Jesus.
Rũciinĩ tene, Jesũ akĩrũgama hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria, no arutwo matiamenyaga atĩ nĩ Jesũ.
5 He called out to us, “My friends, you have not [caught] any fish, have you?” We answered, “You are correct, [we have not caught any].”
Nake akĩmeeta akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Arata akwa, nĩmũgwatĩtie thamaki?” Nao magĩcookia makiuga atĩrĩ, “Aca.”
6 He said to us, “Throw your net out from the right-hand side of the boat! Then you will find some!” We did that, and we caught so many fish [in the net] that we were unable to pull the net into [the boat]!
Nake akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ikiai wabu mwena wa ũrĩo wa marikabu na nĩmũkũgwatia.” Rĩrĩa meekire ũguo, makĩremwo nĩ kũguucia wabu ũcio nĩ ũrĩa thamaki icio ciarĩ nyingĩ.
7 [But I knew that it was Jesus], [so] I said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” Peter had taken off his cloak [while he was working], but as soon as he heard [me say] “It is the Lord!” he wrapped his cloak around himself and jumped into the water [and swam to shore].
Nake mũrutwo ũrĩa Jesũ eendete akĩĩra Petero atĩrĩ, “Nĩ Mwathani!” Na rĩrĩa Simoni Petero aiguire mũrutwo ũcio aamwĩra atĩ, “Nĩ Mwathani”, akĩĩoha nguo yake ya igũrũ (tondũ nĩamĩrutĩte), na akĩrũga maaĩ-inĩ.
8 The rest of us came [to the shore] in the boat, pulling the net full of fish. We were not far from shore, only about 100 yards/meters.
Nao arutwo acio angĩ makĩmũrũmĩrĩra na marikabu maguucĩtie wabu ũiyũrĩte thamaki tondũ matiarĩ haraaya, maarĩ ta itĩĩna rĩa makinya igana rĩmwe kuuma hũgũrũrũ-inĩ.
9 When [we] got to the shore, we saw that there was a fire of burning coals there, with a [large] fish on the fire, and [some] buns.
Maarĩkia kuumĩria marikabu, makĩona mwaki wa makara wakĩtio hau, na thamaki irĩ njĩkĩre riiko, na mũgate.
10 Jesus said to us, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught!”
Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Rehei thamaki imwe cia iria mwagwatia.”
11 Simon Peter got in [the boat] and dragged the net to the shore. It was full of large fish. There were 153 of them! But in spite of there being so many fish, the net was not torn.
Nake Simoni Petero akĩhaica marikabu akĩguucia wabu ũcio nginya hũgũrũrũ-inĩ. Naguo waiyũrĩte thamaki iria nene, 153, no o na irĩ nyingĩ ũguo, wabu ũcio ndwatuĩkire.
12 Jesus said to us, “Come and eat some breakfast!” None of us dared to ask him, “Who are you?” because we knew that it was the Lord.
Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ũkai mwĩgagũre.” Hatirĩ o na ũmwe wa arutwo acio wamũũririe atĩrĩ, “Nĩwe ũ?” Nĩmamenyire atĩ nĩ Mwathani.
13 Jesus took the buns and gave them to us. He did the same with the fish.
Nake Jesũ agĩthiĩ, akĩoya mũgate akĩmahe, agĩcooka akĩmahe thamaki o nacio.
14 That was the third time that Jesus appeared to [us] disciples after [God] caused him to become alive again after he died.
Rĩĩrĩ nĩrĩo rĩarĩ ihinda rĩa gatatũ rĩa Jesũ kuumĩrĩra arutwo ake thuutha wa kũriũka kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ.
15 When we had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “John’s [son] Simon, do you love me more than these [other disciples do]?” Peter said to him, “Yes, Lord, you know that you are dear to me (OR, that I love you).” Jesus said, “Give to [those who belong to] me [what they need spiritually, like] [MET] [a shepherd provides] food for his lambs.”
Nao maarĩkia kũrĩa, Jesũ akĩũria Simoni Petero atĩrĩ, “Simoni mũrũ wa Jona, na ma ti-itherũ nĩũnyendete gũkĩra aya?” Nake agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ Mwathani, wee nĩũũĩ atĩ nĩngwendete.” Nake Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Heaga tũgondu twakwa gĩa kũrĩa.”
16 Jesus said to him again, “John’s [son] Simon, do you love me?” He replied, “Yes, Lord, you know that you are dear to me (OR, that I love you).” Jesus said to him, “Take care of [those who belong to] me, [like] [MET] a [shepherd takes care of his] sheep.”
Ningĩ Jesũ akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Simoni mũrũ wa Jona, ti-itherũ nĩũnyendete?” Nake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ Mwathani, wee nĩũũĩ atĩ nĩngwendete.” Nake Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Rĩithagia ngʼondu ciakwa.”
17 Jesus said to him a third time, “John’s son Simon, am I really dear to you (OR, do you really love me)?” Peter was grieved because Jesus asked him this three times, [and because the third time he changed the question]. He said, “Lord, you know everything. You know that you are dear to me (OR, that I love you).” Jesus said, “Give to [those who belong to] me [what they need spiritually, as] [MET] [a shepherd provides] food for [his] sheep.
Agĩcooka akĩmũũria hĩndĩ ya gatatũ atĩrĩ, “Simoni mũrũ wa Jona, nĩũnyendete?” Nake Petero akĩigua ũũru ngoro nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa Jesũ aamũũririe hĩndĩ ya gatatũ atĩrĩ, “Nĩũnyendete?” Nake akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, wee nĩũũĩ maũndũ mothe; wee nĩũũĩ atĩ nĩngwendete.” Nake Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Heaga ngʼondu ciakwa gĩa kũrĩa.”
18 Now listen to this carefully: When you were young, you put your clothes on by yourself, and you went wherever you wanted to go. But when you are old, you will stretch out your arms, and someone will fasten them [with a rope] and will lead you to a place where you do not want to [go].”
“Ngũkwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, rĩrĩa warĩ mwĩthĩ nĩwehumbaga nguo, ũgathiĩ kũrĩa ũkwenda; no rĩrĩa ũgaakũra, nĩũgatambũrũkia moko, nake mũndũ ũngĩ nĩagakũhumba nguo, acooke agũtware kũrĩa ũtekwenda gũthiĩ.”
19 Jesus said this to indicate how Peter would die ([violently/on a cross]) in order to honor God. Then Jesus said to him, “Keep being my faithful disciple [until you die].”
Jesũ oigire ũguo nĩgeetha onanie gĩkuũ kĩrĩa Petero agaakua, agoocithie Ngai. Agĩcooka akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nũmĩrĩra!”
20 Peter turned around and saw that I was following them. I was the one who leaned close to Jesus during the [Passover] meal and said, “Lord, who is going to enable your enemies to seize you?”
Nake Petero eehũgũra akĩona mũrutwo ũrĩa Jesũ endete amarũmĩrĩire. (Ũcio nĩ ũrĩa wetiranĩtie na Jesũ rĩrĩa marĩĩaga irio cia hwaĩ-inĩ, na nowe wamũũrĩtie atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, nũũ ũcio ũgũgũkunyanĩra?”)
21 When Peter saw me, he asked, “Lord, what [is going to happen] to him?”
Na rĩrĩa Petero aamuonire-rĩ, akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, nake mũndũ ũyũ ũhoro wake nĩ atĩa?”
22 Jesus said to him, “If I want him to remain [alive] until I return, (that is not your concern!/what is that to you?) [RHQ] You be my [faithful] disciple!”
Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ingĩenda atũũre muoyo nginya rĩrĩa ngacooka-rĩ, ũcio ũkĩrĩ ũhoro waku? Wee no nginya ũnũmĩrĩre.”
23 Some of the other believers heard [a report of] what Jesus had said about me, and [they thought that Jesus meant] that I would not die. But Jesus did not say that I would not die. He said only, “If I want him to remain [alive] until I return, (that is not your concern!/what is that to you?) [RHQ]”
Nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo-rĩ, mũhuhu ũkĩhunja thĩinĩ wa ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ gũkĩĩrwo atĩ mũrutwo ũcio ndagakua. No Jesũ ndoigĩte atĩ ndagakua; ũrĩa oigĩte no atĩ, “Ingĩenda atũũre muoyo nginya rĩrĩa ngacooka-rĩ, ũcio ũkĩrĩ ũhoro waku?”
24 [I, John], am the disciple who has seen all these things and I have written them down. My [fellow apostles] and I know that what [I have written] is true.
Mũrutwo ũcio nĩwe ũrĩ na ũira wa maũndũ maya mothe, na nowe ũmaandĩkĩte. Na ithuĩ nĩtũũĩ atĩ ũira wake nĩ wa ma.
25 Jesus did many other things. If they would [all] be written {If people would write them [all]} down [in detail], I suppose that the whole world would not have enough space [HYP] to contain the books that would be written {that they would write} [about what he did].
Jesũ nĩekire maũndũ mangĩ maingĩ. Korwo mothe nĩmandĩkirwo-rĩ, ngwĩgereria atĩ o na thĩ yothe ndĩngĩiganĩra mabuku marĩa mangĩandĩkwo.
