< 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:
Pambele, u Yesu akihufia kange ku vavulanisivua vaake ku lisumbe ilya Tibelia; kukuhufia kulyale enendiiki:
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.
uSimoni uPeteli, uTomasi juno akatambulwagha Didimasi, uNatanaeli umhuma mu kikaaja ikya kana mukighavo ikya Galilaya, avana Sebedayi na vavulanisivua vaake avange vavili, vooni avuo valyale palikimo.
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.
USimoni uPeteli akavavuula avajaake akati, “Niluta kulova isamaki. “Voope vakamwamula vakati, “Najusue tuluta palikimo nuuve.” Pe vakavuka viluta, vakingila mu ngalava, neke ikilo jooni navakambulila kimonga.
4 Early the next morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but we did not know that it was Jesus.
Ye kuhenga, uYesu alyimile mulubale mulisumbe, neke avavulanisivua vaake navalyakagwile kuuti 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].”
UYesu akavaposia akati, “Vanango namulovile nambe samaki jimo?” Aveene vakamwamula vakati, “Natulovile nambe jimo!”
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]!
Akavavuula akati, “Isia uvwa fu ulubale ulwa ku ndio ulwa ngalava, ukuo mupata. “Pe uvwafu, neke vakakunua kukwesa ulwakuva vakalovile isamaki nyinga.
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].
Pepano umbulanisivua jula, juno uYesu alyamughanile fiijo akam'buula uPeteli akati, “Uju ghwe Mutwa!” USimioni uPeteli ye apulike kuuti ghwe Mutwa akatoola umwenda ghwake akipinya (ulwakuva naakipinyile vunofu) pe akitosia mulisumbe.
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.
Avavulanisivua avange vala vakiisa ku ngalava (ulwakuva pano valyale napakale patali palyale imita kilundo kimo ndiiki) kufika kunji kulisumbe kuhuma pa ngalava) vakava vikwesa uvwafu vumemile isamaki.
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.
Ye vafikile kunji ku lisumbe, vakaghwagha umwoto ugwa nkala, pa mwoto apuo pwe ghulyale unkate ni samaki.
10 Jesus said to us, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught!”
UYesu akavavuula akati, “Mulete isamaki sino sino mulovile.”
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.
Pe uPeteli akingila mungalava, akakwesela kunji ku lisumbe uvwafu vula vuno vulyamemile isamaki imbaha. Isamaki isio silyale kilundo kimo ni fijigho fihaano ni tano. Napano isamaki silyale nyinga enendiiki, uvwafu navulyademwike.
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.
UYesu akavavuula akati, “Mwise mulavuke, “Neke napwealyale nambe jumo mu vavulanisivua, juno alyaghelile kuposia kuuti, “Uve veeve veeni?” Valyakagwile kuuti ghwe Mutwa.
13 Jesus took the buns and gave them to us. He did the same with the fish.
UYesu akiisa, akatola unkate, akavapeela, kange akatoola isamaki akavapeela.
14 That was the third time that Jesus appeared to [us] disciples after [God] caused him to become alive again after he died.
Uluo lulyale lwa vutatu uYesu kukuhufia ku vavulanisivua vaake, kuhuma isyuka ku vafue.
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.”
Ye vamalile kulia, uYesu akamposia uSimoni Peteli akati, “Simoni mwana ghwa Yohani, unganile une kukila avange ava? “UPeteli akamwamula akati, “Eena Mutwa, uve ukagwile kuuti nikughanile.” UYesu akambuula akati, “Udimaghe ing'holo sango?
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.”
Akamposia ulwa vuvili akati, “Simoni mwana ghwa Yohani, unganile?” UPeteli akmwamula akati, “Eena Mutwa, uve ukagwile kuuti nikughanile.” UYesu akam'buula akati, “Ulolelelaghe vunono ing'holo sango.”
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.
Akamposia ulwa vutatu, akati, “Simoni mwana ghwa Yohani, unganile?” UPeteli akasukunala ulwakuva amposisie ulwa vutatu kuuti, “Unganile? Akamwamula akati, “Ghwe Mutwa, uve ukagwile sooni, ukagwile kuuti nikughanile.” UYesu akambuula akati, “Udimaghe ing'holo sango.
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].”
Kyang'haani nikukuvuula, ye ulinsoleka ulyamanyiine kufwala juuve amenda na kuluta kuno ghughanile. Neke ghuliiva mughogholo ghuligholosyagha amavoko ghaako, umuunhu ujunge ikukufwasyagha na kukukutwala kunu naghughanile.”
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].”
UYesu alyajovile isio kuvonia vule uPeteli ilifua mulwa kumughinia uNguluve. Ye ajovile isio akambuula uPeteli akati, “Umbingililaghe.”
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?”
UPeteli akasyetuka, akamwagha um'bulanisivua juno uYesu alyamughanile, ikuvavingilila mumbele. Um'bulanisivua ujuo ghwe juno alyeghiime pa kifuva kya Yesu ye vali pilia ikyakulia ikya pavwilile, ghwe juno alyamposisie uYesu kuuti, “Mutwa ghwe veeni juno kya ikukwohela?”
21 When Peter saw me, he asked, “Lord, what [is going to happen] to him?”
UPeteli ye amwaghile um'bulanisivua jula, akamposia uYesu akati, “Gwe Mutwa, kilihumila kiki kwa m'bulanisivua uju?”
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!”
UYesu akamwamula akati, “Nave nilonda uju ave mwumi kuhanga niliiva nigomoka, uve kikukuvava kiki? Uve mbingililaghe.
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]”
Amasio aghuo ghano uYesu alyajovile ghakapulikika ku vavingilili vinga, pe vakasaghagha kuuti um'bulanisivua ujuo nailifua. Neke uYesu naalyajovile kuuti umbulanisivua ujuo nailifua, ulwene alyatiile, “Nave nilonda uju ave mwumi kuhanga niliiva nigomoka kikukuvava kiki?
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.
Umbulanisivua ujuo ghwe juno ikwoleka isi sooni, kange ghwe juno alembile isi. Usue tukagwile kuuti uvwolesi vwake vwa kyang'haani.
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].
Kwesili isingi nyinga sino alyavombile uYesu. Saale silembue sooni, nisaagha kuuti iisi jooni najaale jikwila kuviika ifitabu ifio.
