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:
Panyuma pakendi Yesu walalilesha kayi kuli beshikwiya bakendi kumulonga wa Tibeliyo.
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.
Shimoni Petro, Tomasi ne Nataniele wa kumunshi waku Kana mucishi ca Galileya, bana basa ba Sebediya, kayi ne beshikwiya nabambi babili, balikuba 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.
Shimoni Petulo walabambileti, “Ame ndenga akwikata inswi.” Nabo balambeti, “Nenjafwe tulenga nenjobe.” Balanyamuka nekuya akwingila mubwato. Nomba mashiku baliya kwikatapo inswi.
4 Early the next morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but we did not know that it was Jesus.
Mpobwalaca Yesu walemana pa mutunta. Nsombi beshikwiya basa nkabalenshibeti ni 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].”
Lino nendi walabepusha eti, “Sena muliya kwikatapo inswi?” Nabo balambeti, “Sobwe, tulabwelekowa.”
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 walabambileti, “Walani kombe kulubasu lwakululyo kwa bwato, nimwikate.” Naboyo balawala kombe, nomba balalilwa kukwela kombe pakwinga kalekata inswi shingi.
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].
Popelapo shikwiya usa Yesu ngwalikusuna maningi walambila Petulo eti, “Ni Mwami!” Shimoni Petulo mpwalanyumfwa kwambeti ni mwami, walafwala mwinjila wakendi (pakwinga walikuba laufululu mwinjila) Nomba walaliwala mu lwenje.
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.
Lino beshikwiya nabambi basa balesa ne bwato kumutunta, nkabadonsa kombe kesula ne nswi shingi. Nkalikuba kutali ne mutunta, nsombi walikuba pepi ne ntamwa shakwana makumi asanu ne ana.
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.
Mpobalashika kumutunta balabona mulilo wa malasha kapali inswi ne shinkwa.
10 Jesus said to us, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught!”
Yesu walabambileti, “kamuletani inswi shing'ana pali isho nshomulekata.”
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.
Lino Shimoni Petulo walengila mubwato musa nekukwelela kombe kumutunta, kalikuba kekata inswi shakwana mwanda ne makumi asanu ne shitatu. Nambi inswi shalafula mushobo uyu, kombe nkakalatwamuka sobwe.
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 walabambileti, “Kamwisani mulye.” Nomba pa beshikwiya basa nkapalikuba nambi umo walaliyuminisha kumwipusheti, “Njobe bani?” Pakwinga balenshibeti ni Mwami.
13 Jesus took the buns and gave them to us. He did the same with the fish.
Yesu walaya akumanta buledi ne kubapa. Walensa copeleco ne nswi shisa.
14 That was the third time that Jesus appeared to [us] disciples after [God] caused him to become alive again after he died.
Pacindi ici alakwana mankanda atatu akubonekela kuli beshikwiya bakendi kufuma mpalapunduka kubafu.
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.”
Mpobalapwisha kulya, Yesu walepusha Simoni Petulo eti, “Obe Shimoni mwanendi Yohane, sena unsuni kupita bonse aba?” Nendi walambeti, “Cakubinga Mwami, mucinshi kwambeti ndimusuni.” Yesu walamwambileti, “Sunga mbelele shakame.”
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 walamwipusha kayi katubili eti, “Obe Shimoni mwanendi Yohane, sena unsuni?” Nendi walambeti, “Cakubinga Mwami mucinsheti ndimusuni.” Yesu walamwambileti, “Sunga mbelele shakame.”
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 walamwipusha kayi kabutatu eti, “Obe Simoni mwanendi Yohane, sena unsuni?” Nendi walambeti, “Cakubinga Mwami mucinsheti ndimusuni.” Yesu walamwambileti, “Sunga mbelele shakame.”
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].”
“Ndakwambilinga cakubinga, pacindi mpowalikuba mutuloba, walikulisunga wenka beloti nekuya kulikonse nkowalikwanda. Nomba wakacembela, nukatandabule makasa akobe kwambeti umbi akusunge beloti nekuya nenjobe nkotasuni.”
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 walamba bintu ibi kwambeti abenshibishe moshi akafwile Petulo kwambeti Lesa akalemekwe. Mpalambeco, walambila Petulo eti, “Nkonke.”)
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?”
Petulo walacebuka nekubonowa shikwiya usa Yesu ngwalikwanda maningi nkamukonkela munyuma. Endiye shikwiya usa walikuba watamina pantiti pa Yesu Pacindi cakusekelela pasa nekumwipusheti, “Mwami weshi akamuyabe kubalwani benu nibani?”
21 When Peter saw me, he asked, “Lord, what [is going to happen] to him?”
Popelapo Petulo walamubona nekumwipusheti, “Mwami, nomba uyu cilyeconi?”
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 walamwambileti, “Na ndandanga kwambeti nendi abe ne buyumi kushikila mpaka nkabwele, sena kuli obe ngaciba cani? Obe nkonke.”
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]”
Lino lulumbi lwalanyumfwika pakati pa beshikwiya bonse kwambeti usa munabo nteshi akafwe sobwe, nsombi walambeti, “Na ndandanga kwambeti nendi akabe ne buyumi mpaka nkabwele, sena kuli obe ngaciba cani?”
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.
Uyu eweshikwiya usa walensa bukamboni bwa bintu byalenshika ibyo, kayi endiye walabilemba. Tucinshi kwambeti bukamboni bwakendi nibwakubinga.
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].
Nomba kuli bintu nabimbi bingi Yesu mbyalensa. Nebyalalembwa byonse ibyo ndashoma kwambeti pacishi conse capanshi nepalakabulu mabuku akulembamo byonse ibyo.
