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:
Mgbe ihe ndị a gasịrị, Jisọs gosiri ndị na-eso ụzọ ya onwe ya ọzọ. O mere nke a nʼakụkụ osimiri nke Tiberịas, lee otu o si mee.
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.
Ụfọdụ nʼime ndị na-eso ụzọ ya nọkọrọ otu ebe. Ndị a bụ Saimọn Pita na Tọmọs (onye a na-akpọ Didimọs), na Nataniel, onye Kena nke Galili na ụmụ Zebedi, na mmadụ abụọ ndị ọzọ bụkwa ndị ozi ya.
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.
Saimọn Pita sịrị ha, “Ana m aga igbu azụ.” Ha sịrị, “Anyị ga-eso gị.” Ha biliri gaa, banye nʼime ụgbọ mmiri. Ma nʼabalị ahụ niile ha egbuteghị ihe ọbụla.
4 Early the next morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but we did not know that it was Jesus.
Mgbe chi na-abọ Jisọs guzoro nʼakụkụ mmiri. Ma ndị na-eso ụzọ ya amataghị na ọ bụ Jisọs.
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].”
Jisọs sịrị ha, “Ụmụntakịrị, unu gbutere azụ ọbụla?” Ha zara ya, “Mba.”
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]!
Ọ gwara ha, “Wụnyenụ ụgbụ unu nʼakụkụ aka nri nke ụgbọ. Unu ga-egbutekwa azụ.” Mgbe ha mere nke a, ha enwekwaghị ike ịdọpụta ụgbụ ha, nʼihi ọtụtụ azụ nke dị nʼime ya.
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].
Mgbe ahụ onye ahụ na-eso ụzọ ya Jisọs hụrụ nʼanya gwara Pita, “Ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị!” Ngwangwa Saimọn Pita nụrụ na “ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị,” ọ yiiri uwe ya (nʼihi na ọ gba ọtọ), wụba nʼime mmiri ahụ.
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.
Ndị ọzọ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya bịara nʼụgbọ mmiri nta ahụ, na-adọpụta ụgbụ ha nke azụ juru nʼime ya, nʼihi na ha nọ nso nʼala ihe dị ka narị nzọ ụkwụ na ise.
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.
Mgbe ha pụtara nʼelu ala, ha hụrụ ọkụ a kwanyere, nke a hụkwasịrị azụ nʼelu ya na ogbe achịcha.
10 Jesus said to us, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught!”
Jisọs gwara ha, “Wetanụ ụfọdụ nʼime azụ ndị ahụ unu gbutere ugbu a.”
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.
Saimọn Pita pụrụ gaa dọgota ụgbụ azụ ahụ nʼelu ala. Ihe juru ya bụ azụ ndị ukwuu nke ọnụọgụgụ ya dị narị na iri ise na atọ. Ma ụgbụ ahụ adọwaghị nʼagbanyeghị na azụ juru nʼime ya.
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.
Jisọs sịrị ha, “Bịanụ rie nri ụtụtụ.” Ọ dịghị onye ọbụla nʼime ndị ahụ na-eso ụzọ ya jụrụ ya, “Ị bụ onye?” Nʼihi na ha maara na ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị.
13 Jesus took the buns and gave them to us. He did the same with the fish.
Jisọs bịara were achịcha ahụ nye ha. Otu ahụ ka o mekwara azụ ahụ.
14 That was the third time that Jesus appeared to [us] disciples after [God] caused him to become alive again after he died.
Nke a bụ ugboro atọ Jisọs gosiri ndị na-eso ụzọ ya onwe ya mgbe e mere ka o si nʼọnwụ bilie.
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.”
Mgbe ha risiri nri ụtụtụ, Jisọs sịrị Saimọn Pita, “Saimọn nwa Jọn, ị hụrụ m nʼanya karịa ndị a niile?” Ọ sịrị ya, “E, Onyenwe anyị, ị maara na m hụrụ gị nʼanya.” Jisọs sịrị ya, “Na-azụ ụmụ atụrụ m.”
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.”
Jisọs sịrị ya nke ugboro abụọ, “Saimọn nwa Jọn, ị hụrụ m nʼanya?” Ọ sịrị, “E, Onyenwe anyị, ị maara na m hụrụ gị nʼanya.” Ọ sịrị ya, “Na-elekọta atụrụ m.”
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.
Ọ sịrị ya nke ugboro atọ, “Saimọn nwa Jọn, ị hụrụ m nʼanya?” O wutere Pita na ọ sịrị ya nke ugboro atọ, “ị hụrụ m nʼanya?” Ọ sịrị ya, “Onyenwe anyị, ị mazuru ihe niile, ị makwaara na m hụrụ gị nʼanya.” Jisọs sịrị ya, “Na-azụ atụrụ m.
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].”
Nʼezie, nʼezie asị m gị, mgbe ị bụ okorobịa ị na-eke ajị nʼukwu, gaa ebe ị chọrọ ịga. Ma mgbe ị ghọrọ agadi, ị ga-esetipụ aka gị, onye ọzọ ga-ekee gị ihe okike nʼukwu ma duru gị gaa ebe ị na-achọghị ịga.”
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 kwuru nke a iji gosi ụdị ọnwụ ọ ga-anwụ iji nye Chineke otuto. Mgbe nke a mesịrị, ọ sịrị ya, “Soro m.”
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?”
Pita chigharịrị hụ onye ahụ na-eso ụzọ ya nke Jisọs hụrụ nʼanya ka ọ na-esokwa ha nʼazụ. (Ọ bụ onyeozi ahụ dabeere ya nʼobi na nri anyasị, nke sịrị, “Onyenwe anyị, onye ga-arara gị nye?”)
21 When Peter saw me, he asked, “Lord, what [is going to happen] to him?”
Mgbe Pita hụrụ ya, ọ sịrị Jisọs, “Onyenwe anyị kedụ maka onye a?”
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!”
Jisọs sịrị ya, “Ọ bụrụ na m achọọ ka ọ nọgide ruo mgbe m ga-alọghachi gịnị ka nke a bụ nye gị? Soro m.”
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]”
Ya mere, akụkọ a gbasara nʼetiti ụmụnna na onye a na-eso ụzọ ya agaghị anwụ. Ma Jisọs asịghị ya na ọ gaghị anwụ anwụ, kama, “Ọ bụrụ na m chọrọ ka ọ nọgide ruo mgbe m ga-abịa, ọ gbasara gị?”
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.
Nke a bụ onye ahụ na-eso ụzọ ya onye na-agba ama ihe ndị a niile, ma deekwa ha nʼakwụkwọ. Anyị makwaara na ama ya bụ eziokwu.
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].
Ma ọ dị ọtụtụ ihe ndị ọzọ Jisọs mere. Ọ bụrụ na e dee ha niile nʼakwụkwọ, ọ dịghị m ka ụwa niile ọ ga-aba akwụkwọ a ga-ede banyere ha.
