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:
Lani n pendi Jesu go den doagidi o yuli, o hoadikaaba po tibeliada ñincianma boanjaali po. Diidi wan den doagidi o yuli bi po maama:
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.
Simono Pieli, Toma ban go yi yua li poli, Nataneli Galile yua, leni Sebede bi jaba leni Jesu hoadikaaba toaba bonbilie, den taa ki ye.
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.
Simono Pieli den yedi ba: N baa gedi u jankpaanu. Bi den yedi o: Ti moko baa yegi leni a. Bi den ñani ki kua ku ñinbiagu nni ki gedi u jankpaanu, ama laa ñiagu baa den baa li ba kuli.
4 Early the next morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but we did not know that it was Jesus.
U yienu n den pudi yaa yogunu Jesu den se li boanjaali po, ama bi hoadikaaba ki den bandi ke li tie Jesu yo.
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].”
Jesu den yedi ba: N bila yii pia bonjekaala? Bi den guani ki yedi o: Tii pia li ba.
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]!
Oden yedi ba: Lu mani yi taali ku ñinbiagu jienu po yi baa ba. Lane bi den luni utaalu ki cuo yi jami hali maama ke baa fidi ki baa dadi u.
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].
Lane Jesu n den bua yaa hoadikoa yeni den yedi pieli: O diedo yo de! Pieli n den gbadi ke li tie o Diedo, o den ñani ki taa o tiadi ki yie kelima o den ye mubile mi ñima nni.
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.
Yaa hoadikaaba n sieni den cua leni ku ñinbiagu ki dadi yi taali ke yi gbie leni ijami ki ñani li gbanli po, kelima bani leni li gbanli foagimu ki den cie nukpanduna kobilie.
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.
Ban den ñani ku ñinbiagu nni ki sedi li boanjaali po bi den sua ke mi fantama co likani ke ijami huaba ke dupen mo ye.
10 Jesus said to us, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught!”
Jesu den yedi ba: Cuani mani yin cuo yaa jami yeni ne.
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.
Simono Pieli den kua ku ñinbiagu nni, ki dadi yi taali ki cuani li boanjaali po, ke yi gbie leni yaa jangbenga n pundi kobiga n piimu n bonbitaa, ama baa ke yi jami den yaba bi taali naa den padi.
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.
Jesu den yedi ba: Cua mani ki siibi, ama bi siiga baa yendo ki den buali o, a tie ŋme yo? Bi den bani ke li tie o Diedo.
13 Jesus took the buns and gave them to us. He did the same with the fish.
Jesu den nagini ki taa dupen ki teni ba ki go teni ba ijami moko.
14 That was the third time that Jesus appeared to [us] disciples after [God] caused him to become alive again after he died.
Lani n den tie mi tataama ke Jesu doagidi o yuli, o hoadikaaba po, o fiima bi tinkpiba siiga puoli.
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.”
Ban den dini ki gbeni Jesu den yedi simono pieli: Jonasa bijua Simono, a buani ki cie yaaba n tiene bi? O den guani ki yedi o: Mm, n Diedo a bani ke n bua ha. Jesu den guani ki yedi o: Yaa kpaa n pebila.
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.”
O go den yedi o mi taaliema, Jonasa bijua Simono ha buani? Pieli den guani ki yedi o: Mm, n Diedo a bani ke n bua ha. Jesu den yedi o: Yaa kpaa n pe.
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.
O go den yedi o mi tataama: Jonasa bijua Simono a bua nni? Lanyaapo Pieli yama den yagi leni wan buali o, hali taalimata ha bua nni, lane o den guani ki yedi o: o Diedo a bani li bonla kuli, a bani ke n bua ha. Jesu den yedi o: Yaa kpaa n pe.
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].”
N waani a imoamoani han bi tie jawaalo a bi yie ki ñagindi a gbanñagidigu fini a ba ki caa han bua naani. Ama a yaa ban podi a baa tandi a nii, nitoa n ñagini apo, ki go dadi ki gedini a, han ki bua naani.
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].”
O den maadi yeni ki waani pieli n baa kpe yaa kuuma lan kpiagi o Diedo, lani o den yedi pieli hoadi nni.
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?”
Pieli den jigidi ki laa Jesu n bua yaa hoadikoa yeni ke o kpendi bi kani, wani n tie yua n den duani ki paani o yuli Jesu benli po ban den janbi o yaa ñiagu yeni, ki buali o: o Diedo ŋme n baa janbi a?
21 When Peter saw me, he asked, “Lord, what [is going to happen] to him?”
Pieli n den laa o, o den yedi Jesu: N Diedo one mote? li baa tua opo lede?
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!”
Jesu den yedi o: N yaa bua wan yaa ye hali min baan guani ki cua, lan tie maama kuli fini wani li huadini de!
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]”
Lane mi maama den yadi bi kpiiba siiga, Jesu yedi laa hoadikoa kan kpe, ki sua Jesu naa yedi Pieli ke laa hoadikoa kan kpe ka, ama o den yedi o: N yaa bua wan yaa ye hali min baa guani ki cua, li hua ha bi?
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.
Laa hoadikoa n tiendi yaa bonla n tiena siedi ki go diani la, ti bani ke osiedi tie moamoani.
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].
Jesu go den tieni bontoala boncianla, bi ya bi diani li kuli bonyenla yenla, handuna na niinni kan bi yaa pia yaa kaanu n baa fidi ki ga ban diani yaa tila.
