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:
Pagamaliki genago, Yesu akavahumila kavili vawuliwa vaki pamuhana ya nyanja Tibelia. Avahumili naha,
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 Petili, Tomasi mweikemewa Mapaha, na Natanyeli mkolonjinji wa Kana ya ku Galilaya, vana vavili va Zebedayo na vawuliwa vaki vangi vavili, vakavya voha pamonga.
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 Petili akavajovela, “Nihamba kulova somba.” Vene vakamjovela, “Tete tilongosana na veve.” Vakahamba, vakakwela muwatu, nambu kilu yila nakupata chindu.
4 Early the next morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but we did not know that it was Jesus.
Hamba kucha, Yesu ayimili kumwambu ya nyanja, nambu vawuliwa vamanyili lepi kuvya avi 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].”
Yesu akavakota, “Vankozi, mupatili lepi somba?” Vakamyangula, “Lepi! Kawaka.”
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 akavajovela, “Muhelesa ngwanda upandi wa kulyela wa watu na nyenye yati mwipata somba.” Ndi vakazihelesa ngwanda, nambu hinu nakuhotola kuhuta kavili ndava ya somba zamahele.
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].
Kangi muwuliwa yula, Yesu mweamganili neju, akamjovela Petili, “Ndi Bambu!” Simoni Petili peayuwini kuvya ndi Bambu, akajikunga nyula yaki ya kuvala muni ahulili, akajitaga mumanji.
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.
Nambu vawuliwa vangi vala vabwelili kumbwani na watu kuni vihuta ngwanda zezimemili somba, vavi lepi kutali na pandumba, ndi vavi utali wa mita miya yimonga kuhuma mu mkingisa.
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.
Pavahikili pandumba wauwene motu wa makalakala, wiyaka, na panani yaki pavikiwi somba na libumunda.
10 Jesus said to us, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught!”
Yesu akavajovela, “Mgava somba zingi mleta penapa zemlovili.”
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.
Simoni Petili akayingila muwatu, akahuta mbaka kundumba ngwanda yila yeyimemili somba zivaha miya yimonga na makumi mhanu na zidatu. Pamonga wamemili somba zamahele, nambu ngwanda yadawiki lepi.
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 akavajovela “Mbwela mlawuka.” Kawaka hati mmonga wavi. Mwealingili kumkota. “Veve ndi wayani,” Vammanyili kuvya Bambu.
13 Jesus took the buns and gave them to us. He did the same with the fish.
Yesu akabwela, akatola, libumunda akavapela, akakita mewawa na somba zila.
14 That was the third time that Jesus appeared to [us] disciples after [God] caused him to become alive again after he died.
Yeniyi yavi mala ya datu Yesu kuvahumila vawuliwa vaki peamali kuyuka.
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.”
Pevamali kulya, Yesu akamkota Simoni Petili, “Simoni mwana wa Yohani! Wu, ukunigana nene kuliku ava?” Mwene akayangula, “Ena, Bambu, umanyili kuvya nene nikukugana.” Yesu akamjovela, “Dima vana mambelele vangu.”
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.”
Kavili akamjovela, “Simoni mwana wa Yohani! Wu, ukunigana?” Petili akamyangula, “Ena, Bambu, umanyili kuvya nikukugana.” Yesu akamjovela “Dima mambelele gangu.”
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 akamkota mala ya datu, “Simoni mwana wa Yohani! Wu, ukunigana?” Penapo Petili akavya ngolongondi ndava amkotili mala ya datu. “Ukunigana?” Akamjovela, “Bambu, wamwene umanyili kila chindu, umanyili kuvya nene nikukugana.” Yesu akamjovela, “Dima mambelele gangu!
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].”
Chakaka nikukujovela, pawavi msongolo wayovalili kujitendelekeha wamwene na kuhamba kwewigana. Nambu pawivya mgogolo wiyinula mawoko gaku, mundu yungi ndi yati akukunga na kuhamba kwe wangagana kuhamba.”
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 ajovili genago, kulangisa namuna Petili cheifwa na kumpela ukulu Chapanga. Kangi akamjovela Petili, “Nilanda.”
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?”
Petili akang'anamuka, amuwene muwuliwa yula mweaganiwi na Yesu, akumlanda mweneuyo ndi yula mweatamili papipi neju na Yesu lukumbi pevalyayi na kumkota, “Bambu ndi yani mweakukung'anamukila?”
21 When Peter saw me, he asked, “Lord, what [is going to happen] to him?”
Hinu, Petili peamuwene mwenuyo, akamkota Yesu, “Bambu, mundu uyu chikumuhumila kyani?”
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 akayangula, “Ngati nigana asigalila mbaka penibwela, chikuvala kyani? Veve unilanda nene.”
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]”
Malovi ago, gadandasiki pagati ya valongo vevakumsadika Kilisitu kuvya muwuliwa mwenuyo yati ifwa lepi. Nambu Yesu amjovili lepi muwuliwa yula ifwa lepi, nambu ajovili, “Ngati nigana asigalila mbaka panibwela yikukuvala kyani?”
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.
Mwenuyu ndi muwuliwa, mwealoli mambu ago na kugayandika. Tete timanyili ajovili chakaka.
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].
Gavi mambu gangi gamahele geagahengili Yesu. Ngati goha ngagiyandikwayi, niholela hati mulima woha nakuvya pandu pa kuvika hitabu yeyiyandikwi. Ena.
