< 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:
Baada ya makowe ago Yesu atikuidhihirisha kae kwa anapunzi bake mu'Bahari ya Tiberia; ayee nga aidhihirisha mwene:
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 Petro abile pamope ni Thomaso ywakemelwa Didimas, Nathanieli kana ya Galilaya, bana ba Zebedayo ni anapunzi wenge abele ba Yesu.
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 Petro kaabakiya, “Nenga niyenda kuvua omba.” Nabo kabammakiya, “Twenga, lae twayenda ni wenga.” Kabayenda ni kujingya mu'ngalaba, lakini kilo chee boti bapatike kwaa chochote,
4 Early the next morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but we did not know that it was Jesus.
Bwamba paakite, Yesu ayemite ufukweni, nabo anapunzi batangite kwaa kuwa abile Yesu.
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].”
Boka po Yesu kaabakiya”Ainja, mwabile ni chochote chakulya?” Ni bembe kanyangwa, “Hapana.”
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]!
Kaabakiya, “Muuluye wavu upande wa kummalyo wa ngalaba, ni mwenga mwalowa pata kiasi.' Kwa eyo kabauluya wavu ni bembe aweza kwaa kulivuta kae kwa kuwa yabile ni omba wanyansima.
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].
Bai yolo mwanapunzi ywabile ampendile Yesu kammakiya Petro, “Ni Ngwana.” Ni ywembe Simoni Petro paayowine kuwa ni Ngwana, kaitaba nganju yake(maana abile awala kwaa inoite), Boka po kaitosa mubahari.
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.
Balo anapunzi bake baisa mu'ngalaba (mana babile kwaa kutalu ni pwani, yapata mita mia jimo boka ufukweni), ni bembe babile bakivuta nyavu zabile zitopii omba.
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.
Paikite ufukweni, babweni mwoto wa mkala palo nnani yake pabile ni samaki mpamo ni nkate.
10 Jesus said to us, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught!”
Yesu kaamakiya, “Munnete baadhi ya omba mwamuapatike nambeambe.”
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.
Bai Simoni Petro atipanda ni kuutola wavu waubile utopii omba akolo, kiasi cha omba 153; japo babile banyansima, ila wavu upapwanike kwaa.
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 kaamakiya, “Muiche mpate kipungwa nkanwa.” Ntopo hata yumo wa anapunzi bake ywathubutu kunnaluya, “Wenga wa nyai?” Batangite kuwa abile Ngwana.
13 Jesus took the buns and gave them to us. He did the same with the fish.
Yesu kaisa, katola wolo nkate, ni kuapeya, apangite nyonyonyo ni kwa balo omba.
14 That was the third time that Jesus appeared to [us] disciples after [God] caused him to become alive again after he died.
Ayee yaibile mara ya itatu kwa Yesu kuidhihirisha kwa anapunzi bake baada ya boka mu'kiwo.
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.”
Baada ya kuwa batabilwe mikanwa yabe, Yesu kammakiya Simoni Petro, “Simoni mwana wa Yohana je, wanipenda nenga kuliko aba?” Petro kayangwa, “Eloo, Ngwana; Wenga utangite kuwa nenga nakupenga.” Yesu kammakiya, “Balishe wana ngondolo wango.”
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.”
Kamakiya mara ya ibele, “Simoni mwana wa Yona, je wanipenda?” Petro kammakiya, “Eloo, Ngwana; wenga utangite kuwa nakupenda.” Yesu kammakiya, “Sunga ngondolo wango.”
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.
Kamakiya kae mara ye itatu, “Simoni mwana wa Yohana, je wanipenda?” Ni ywembe Petro atihuzunika kwa yaammakiye mara ya itatu, “Je wenga wanipenda? Ni ywembe kammakiya, Wenga utangite yote; utangite kuwa nakupenda.”Yesu kammakiya. Ubalishe ngondolo bango.
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].”
Amini amini nakubakiya, paubile muinja ulizoea kuwala ngobo mwene na kuyenda kokote paupala yenda; lakini mana ubile mpindo, walowa nyoosha maboko gako, ni ywenge alowa kukuwalisha ngobo ni kukupeleka upalike kwaa kuyenda.”
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].”
Yesu kabaya nyoo ili kubonekeya ni aina gani ya kiwo ambacho Petro alowa kumtukuza Nnongo. Baada ya kugabaya ago, ammakiye Petro, “Nikengame.”
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?”
Petro atikelebuka ni amweni yolo mwanapunzi ywapendilwe ni Yesu atikubakengama-Ayoo nga abile atikuiegemeza mu'kifua sa Yesu wakati wa chakulya cha kitamwinyo ni kunnaluya, “Ngwana, ywa nyai ywapala kukusaliti?
21 When Peter saw me, he asked, “Lord, what [is going to happen] to him?”
Petro amweni ni kunnaluya Yesu, Ngwana ayoo mundu apanga namani?
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 kanyangwa”Mana nipala abaki mpaka paniisile, lyakuhusu namani?” Nikengame.”
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]”
Kwa eyo habari yee ibayilwe nkati ya balo alongo, kuwa mwanapunzi yoo awaa kwaa. Lakini Yesu ammakiya kwaa Petro kuwa mwanapunzi yoo awaa kwaa, “Kati nipala ywembe atame mpaka paniisile yakuhusu namani?”
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.
Ayee nga mwanapunzi ywatoa ushuhuda wa makowe agna nga ywaa aandikile makowe aga, ni tutangite kuwa ushuhuda wake ni 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].
Kwabile ni makowe yenge yanansima yaapangite Yesu. Kati kila limo mana liandikilwe, ulimwengu wote utosha kwaa kuibeka vitabu vya viandikilwe makowe gake.
