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:
Ebyo bwe byaggwa, Yesu n’alabikira nate abayigirizwa be, ku nnyanja ey’e Tiberiya. Yabalabikira bw’ati:
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.
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 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.
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 Early the next morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but we did not know that it was Jesus.
Bwe bwali bukya, Yesu n’ayimirira ku lubalama, naye abayigirizwa ne batamutegeera.
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].”
Yesu n’ababuuza nti, “Abaana, mukwasizzaayo?” Ne baddamu nti, “Nedda.”
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]!
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 [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].
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 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.
Abayigirizwa abalala bo ne bajjira mu lyato nga basika akatimba akaalimu ebyennyanja. Tebaali wala n’olukalu, baali nga mita kyenda.
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.
Awo bwe baatuuka ne basanga omuliro ogw’amanda nga gwaka, nga kuliko ekyennyanja n’omugaati.
10 Jesus said to us, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught!”
Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Muleete ku byennyanja bye muva okukwasa kaakano.”
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.
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 us, “Come and eat some breakfast!” None of us dared to ask him, “Who are you?” because we knew 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 Jesus took the buns and gave them to us. He did the same with the fish.
Yesu n’atoola omugaati n’abagabira era n’ebyennyanja n’akola bw’atyo.
14 That was the third time that Jesus appeared to [us] disciples after [God] caused him to become alive again after he died.
Guno gwe mulundi ogwokusatu Yesu gwe yalabikira abayigirizwa be, ng’amaze okuzuukira.
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.”
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 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.”
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 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.
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 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].”
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 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].”
Ekyo Yesu yakyogera ng’alaga enfa Peetero gy’alifaamu okuweesa Katonda ekitiibwa. Awo n’amugamba nti, “Ngoberera.”
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?”
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 When Peter saw me, he asked, “Lord, what [is going to happen] to him?”
Peetero bwe yamulaba kwe kubuuza Yesu nti, “Mukama wange, ate ono aliba atya?”
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!”
Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Bwe njagala abeerawo okutuusa lwe ndikomawo, ofaayo ki? Ggwe goberera Nze.”
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]”
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 [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.
Oyo ye muyigirizwa akakasa bino era ye yabiwandiika. Era tumanyi nga by’ategeeza bya mazima.
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].
Waliwo n’ebintu ebirala bingi Yesu bye yakola ebitaawandiikibwa. Era singa nabyo byawandiikibwa kinnakimu, ndowooza nga n’ensi zonna tezandigiddemu bitabo ebyandiwandiikiddwa.
