< 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:
Pa aga, Yesu kawalawiriti kayi wafundwa wakuwi kumbwega ku litanda lya Tiberiya. Ilawiriti hangu.
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 Peteru, Tomasi yawamshema wamawira na Nataniyeri mwenikaya gwa kana mu Galilaya wana wawili wa Zebedayu na wafundwa wakuwi wamonga wawili, waweriti woseri pamuhera.
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 Peteru kawagambira wamonga, “Nankugenda kulowa wasomba.” Womberi wamgambira, “Hatugendi na gwenga.” Su wawuka na wakweniti mtumbwi, kumbiti pashiru poseri wapatiti ndiri shintu.
4 Early the next morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but we did not know that it was Jesus.
Payanjiti kushiya, Yesu kagolokiti pampeku pa litanda, kumbiti wafundwa wavimaniti ndiri kuwera yomberi ndo 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].”
Su, Yesu kawakosiya, “Wantemba, mlowa ndiri shintu shoseri?” Womberi wamwankula, “Tupata ndiri shintu.”
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 kawagambira, “Mwasi zinyavu zyenu uwega wa kumliwu mwa mtumbwi, hamlowi wasomba.” Su waziyasa zinyavu na waweziti ndiri kuzinika, toziya zinyavu ziweriti na wasomba yawamemiti nduu.
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].
Mfundwa yakafiritwi na Yesu kamgambiriti Peteru, “Ayu Mtuwa” Simoni Peteru pakapikaniriti kuwera ayu ndo Mtuwa, kavala weri nguwu yakuwi toziya kaweriti kavala upati, su kingiriti mumashi.
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.
Su wafundwa wamonga wiziti kumbwega ku litanda pawawera mumtumbwi, wanikiti zinyavu zyaziweriti zimema wasomba. Waweriti ndiri patali na kuisi, iweriti handa utali wa mita malongu lilongu kulawa kumpeku.
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.
Pawasokiti muisi wawoniti motu gwa makala gukoziwa na kuweriti na somba pamuhera na libumunda.
10 Jesus said to us, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught!”
Shakapanu Yesu kawagambira, “Mjegi panu wasomba wamu wamuwalowiti.”
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 Peteru kakwena mumtumbwi, kazinika zinyavu zilii kuisi zaziweriti zimema wasomba wakulu miya na malongu muhanu na tatu, tembera wasomba waweriti wavuwa zinyavu zidegeka ndiri.
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 kawagambira womberi, “Mwizi mlii.” Kwahera mfundwa ata yumu gwawu yakajeriti kumkosiya, “Gwenga gwa gaa?” Toziya womberi wavimaniti kaweriti Mtuwa.
13 Jesus took the buns and gave them to us. He did the same with the fish.
Su Yesu kiza, katola libumunda, kawapananiti, katenda hera hangu kwa wasomba walii.
14 That was the third time that Jesus appeared to [us] disciples after [God] caused him to become alive again after he died.
Ayi iweriti mala ya tatu Yesu pakawalawiriti wafundwa pakazyukiti kala.
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.”
Pawamaliriti kuliya, Yesu kamkosiyiti Simoni Peteru, “Simoni, mwana gwa Yohani! Hashi, gunfira neni kuliku womberi awa?” Peteru kamwankula, “Yina Mtuwa, guvimana kuwera neni nukufira.” Yesu kamgambira, “Guloleri wakondolu waneni.”
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 kamkosiya mala ya pili, “Simoni mwana gwa Yohani! Hashi, gunfira neni?” Peteru kamwankula, “Yina Mtuwa guvimana kuwera nukufira.” Yesu kamgambira, “Guloleri wakondolu waneni.”
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.
Mala ya tatu Yesu kamkosiya Peteru, “Simoni mwana gwa Yohani! Hashi, gunfira?” Palii Peteru kahinginikiti toziya kamkosiya mala ya tatu, “Gunfira?” Yomberi kamwankula, “Mtuwa, gwenga guvimana vyoseri, gwenga guvimana kuwera neni nukufira.” Yesu kamgambira, “Guloleri wakondolu wa neni!
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].”
Nakaka nukugambira, paguweriti muntemba guweriti gwankali kugenda koseri kwagufira kugenda, kumbiti paguwera mgogolu, hagukolwi liwoku na muntu gwingi pakakujega paala pagufira ndiri kugenda.”
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 kutakula hangu, kulanguziyiti ntambu Peteru pakahowa na kumkwisa Mlungu. Shakapanu Yesu kamgambiriti yomberi, “Gunfati neni!”
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?”
Peteru kagalambuka, kamwoniti ntumintumi ulii yakafiritwi na Yesu, kankumfata. Mfundwa ayu ndo mweni ulii shipindi sha kuliya shiboga sha pamihi, kalivagiti pakwegera nentu na Yesu pakamkosiya Yesu, “Mtuwa ndo gaa hakakugalambuki?”
21 When Peter saw me, he asked, “Lord, what [is going to happen] to him?”
Peteru pakamwoniti ayu kamkosiya Yesu, “Mtuwa! Na ayu hashi?”
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 kamwankula, “Handa panfira kalikali mpaka panizaku, shikuusu shishi gwenga? Gwenga gunfati neni!”
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]”
Shisoweru shili shyeniyiti pakati pa walongu kuwera wafundwa ulii hapeni kahowi. Kumbiti Yesu kamgambiriti ndiri kuwera wafundwa ulii hapeni kahowi, ira katakuriti, “Handa panfira kalikali mpaka panizaku shi kuusu shishi gwenga?”
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.
Ayu ndo mfundwa ulii yakapitawuliti vitwatira avi na kuvilemba. Natwenga tuvimana kuwera gakatakuliti ndo ganakaka.
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].
Kwana vitwatira vyamonga vivuwa vyakatenditi Yesu, handa vyangalembwiti vyoseri, shimu kwa shimonga, meiweri pasipanu kwahera pahala pa kutula vintola vyavilembitwi.
