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:
Gakapiteje genego, a Yeshu gubhaakoposhelenje kabhili bhaajiganywa bhabho kunyenje litanda lya Tibheliya, puyaliji nnei.
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.
A Shimoni Petili na a Tomashi bhashemwaga Bhammba na a Natanaeli bha ku Kana ja Galilaya na bhana bhabhili bha a Shebhedayo na bhaajiganywa bhabho bhananji bhabhili, bhowe pubhalinginji pamo.
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.
A Shimoni Petili gubhaalugulilenje ajabhonji, “Ngunakwenda kutanda yamaki.” Nabhalabhonji gubhaajangwilenje, “Na uwe shitunkagule.” Bhai, gubhajabhwilenje, gubhakwelilenje muntumbwi, ikabheje shene shilosho bhangapatanga shindu.
4 Early the next morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but we did not know that it was Jesus.
Lyambape, a Yeshu gubhajimi nnyenje litanda, ikabheje bhaajiganywa bhangaamanyanga kuti bhenabho a Yeshu.
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].”
Bhai, a Yeshu gubhaabhushiyenje, “Ashibhanangu, mpatilenje shamaki jojowe?” Gubhaajangwilenje, “Nng'oo.”
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]!
A Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje, “Ntejelanje lyau lyenunji nkono nnilo gwa ntumbwi gwenunji shimpatanje yamaki.” Bhai gubhatejelenje lyau lyabhonji, ikabheje gubhalepelenje kuuta kabhili kwa ligongo lya shuluka yamaki.
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].
Bhai nkujiganywa apingwaga na a Yeshu jula, gwabhabhalanjile a Petili, “Bhenebha Bhakulungwa!” A Shimoni Petili bhakapilikaneje kuti Bhakulungwa, gubhaitabhile nngubho jabho pabha bhakaweteje ukoto, gubhaitumbushiye mmashi.
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.
Ikabheje bhaajiganywa bhananji bhala gubhabhujilengene kunyenje litanda na ntumbwi gula, akuno bhaliutanga lyau ligumbele yamaki, pabha yaliji tome kulitaka, pubhalinginji malinga meta makumi kumi kukoposhela kunyenje litanda.
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.
Bhai bhakaikanjeje kulitaka, gubhagubhweninji moto gwa makala na pantundu jakwe ilijokwa yamaki na nkate.
10 Jesus said to us, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught!”
A Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje, “Njianayonji yamaki ishoko intandilenje.”
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.
Bhai, a Shimoni Petili gubhakwelile muntumbwi mula, gubhautile lyau lila mpaka kulitaka, ligumbele yamaki yaikulungwa makumi kumi na nng'ano na itatu. Nkali yashulwishe nneyoyo, lyau lila lyangapapuka.
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.
A Yeshu gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Nnjiyangane kunnabhukanje.” Jwakwa nkali jumo alinjile kwaabhuya, “Mmwe agani?” Pabha bhaamanyinji kuti Bhakulungwa.
13 Jesus took the buns and gave them to us. He did the same with the fish.
A Yeshu gubhaishe, gubhatolile nkate, gubhaapelenje, gubhatendile nneyo peyo na yamaki ila.
14 That was the third time that Jesus appeared to [us] disciples after [God] caused him to become alive again after he died.
Gwenegu pugwaliji gwatatu a Yeshu kwiilanguya ku bhaajiganywa bhabho bhakayusheje.
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.”
Kungai bhakalyanganjeje, a Yeshu bhakwaabhuyaga a Shimoni Petili, “A Shimoni, bhanabhabho a Yowana! Bhuli, nnimbinga nne kupunda bhanganyanjibha?” Nabhalabho gubhajangwile, “Elo, Mmakulungwa, mmumanyi kuti nne ngulikumpinga.” A Yeshu gubhaabhanjile, “Nniye ngondolo yangu.”
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.”
A Yeshu gubhaabhalanjile gwabhili, “A Shimoni, bhanabhabho a Yowana! Bhuli, nnimbinga?” A Petili gubhaajangwile, “Elo, Mmakulungwa, mmumanyi kuti nne ngulikumpinga.” A Yeshu gubhaabhalanjile, “Nshunje ngondolo yangu.”
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.
A Yeshu bhakwaabhuyaga a Petili gwatatu, “A Shimoni, bhanabhabho a Yowana! Bhuli nnimbinga?” Penepo a Petili gubhainjishe pabha bhashinkubhuywa gwatatu kuti, “Nnimbinga?” Gubhaajangwile, “Mmakulungwa, mmwe nngamanyi gowe, mmumannyi kuti nne ngulikumpinga.” A Yeshu gubhaabhalanjile, “Nniye ngondolo yangu!”
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].”
Gubhashite, “Kweli ngunakummalanjila, pumwaliji mmashanda mwayobhelele kwiitabha nshipi gwenu nikwenda kokowe kunkupinga. Ikabheje pushinkongopale shinngoloye makono genu, na mundu juna shantabhe nikumpeleka kunkaapinga kwenda.”
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].”
Kwa bheleketa nneyo, bhashinkulanguya shanabhuli a Petili pushibhawe nikwaakuya a Nnungu. Kungai gubhabhaalanjile, “Nngagule.”
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?”
A Petili gubhatendebhwishe, gubhaabhweni bhaajiganywa bhapinjilwe na a Yeshu bhala bhalikagula. Bhene bhaajiganywabha nibhaatemi tome na a Yeshu bhalilyanganga shalya, nikwaabhuya, “Mmakulungwa gani apinga kuntendebhuka?”
21 When Peter saw me, he asked, “Lord, what [is going to happen] to him?”
Bhai, a Petili bhakaabhoneje bhaajiganywabho, bhakwaabhuyaga a Yeshu, “Mmakulungwa na abha bhuli?”
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!”
A Yeshu gubhaajangwile, “Monaga nne ngunapinga bhenebha bhanawe mpaka pushimuje, mmwe nkupinjila nndi? Mmwe nngagule nne.”
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]”
Bhai, jene nganijo gujishumile munkumbi gwabhonji mula, kuti bhene bhaajiganywabho bhakawa. Ikabheje a Yeshu bhaangalugulila kuti bhaajiganywabho bhakawa, ikabhe, “Mbingaga bhenebha bhanawe, mmwe nkupinjila nndi?”
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.
Bhenebha ni bhaajiganywa bhakong'ondele yenei nikwiijandika. Na uwe tumumanyi kuti gubhabhelekete gala ga kweli.
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].
Ipali indu ina yaigwinji ibhatendile a Yeshu, monaga ikajandikwe yowe shimo shimo, punguganishiya kuti, nkali shilambolyo shikanatoshe kwa itabhu yowe ikajandikwe.
