Yohana 21
1 Ni kogon bi kima, Yesu hla ka tsro Itu Ma ni almajere ma ni nyu nne Tiberiyas. Gen ya nda a tsro tuma:
After these things Jesus, risen from the dead, revealed Himself to His disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and He did it like this:
2 Siman Bitrus he mba Toma wa ba yo ni dan tagwai, ni Nataniyel, ni Kana u Galili, ni mri Zabadi, ni almajere Yesu hari bari ngari.
Simon Peter, Thomas (called Twin), Nathanael (from Cana of Galilee), Zebedee's sons and two others of His disciples were together.
3 Siman Bitrus hla bawu, “mi hi vu lambe.” U ba tre, “Kita me, ki huwu hi me.” U ba lu rju hi naka ri ni mi ingyu'a, ni chu chachuki bana vu kperi na.
Simon Peter says to them, “I'm going fishing.” They say to him, “We're coming with you.” Off they went and got right into the boat, and that whole night they caught nothing.
4 Se imble ni kpan, u Yesu kri ki ni nye nne, u almajere bana to me nda a Yesu na.
Well when daybreak had now come Jesus stood on the beach; however the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.
5 U Yesu tre ni ba, “Mri nze, bi he ni kpe wa bi ri'a?” U ba ti san na tre, “A'a.”
Then Jesus says to them, “Boys, you don't have any food, do you?” They answered Him, “No.”
6 A hla ni bawu, “ta walawa u bu lambe hi ni wo kori ni gyu'a, bi vu bari.” U ba ta walawa mba, yo ni mma, na chu wo kran nitu wa lambe ba ku babran.
So He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat and you will find.” So they did, and now they were unable to haul it in because of the multitude of fish!
7 U almajere ma wa Yesu ni son zan ba hla ni Bitrus, “Ahi Bachi.” U Siman Bitrus a wo naki Ashe ahi Irji, na lu sru kpi ma u ko tu'a (ana son ni kpa kuklu), na ton ku ni mi nne.
Then that disciple whom Jesus loved says to Peter, “It's the Lord!” Upon hearing that it was the Lord, Simon Peter tied on his outer garment (for he was stripped) and plunged into the sea.
8 Imbru almajere ba ba ye ni mi gyu vi tsitsa, (nitu wa bana gbonron gon ni bubu'a na, ina kamu deri ha hi ni ko tu), wa chu walawa shu ni lambe rju ni mi mma.
But the other disciples came in the little boat dragging the net with the fish (for they were not far from the land, but about 100 yards).
9 Ni ka walawa yo kora ni lambe'a, u ba to kla nu ni lambe ni tuma ni bredi.
Then, as they stepped onto the land they saw a charcoal fire in place with fish lying on it, and bread.
10 Yesu bla nji bari ye ni mi lambe'a niwa bi vu zizan.”
Jesus says to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught.”
11 U Siman Bitrus a hon, na gbi walawa shu ni lambe deri ni hamsi don tra. Ni bran mba me, walwa na ya ba na.
Simon Peter got up and dragged the net onto the land, full of one hundred and fifty-three large fish; and although being so many, the net was not torn.
12 U Yesu hla ni bawu, ye ni ye kle ye.” U riri me ni mi almajere ma me na ya miyen na, “A wu nha?” Ba to nda Yesu.
Jesus says to them, “Come have breakfast!” Well not one of the disciples dared to ask Him, “Who are you?”—knowing that it was the Lord.
13 Yesu ye, na ban bredi'a, na ga ba, nilambe me.
Then Jesus comes and takes the bread and gives it to them, as also the fish.
14 Iki a hi gyu u tra mba Yesu ni tsro tu ma ni almajere ma ni kogon wa a lunde ni be.
This was already a third time that Jesus appeared to His disciples after He was raised from among the dead.
15 Ni kogon wa ba kle ya, Yesu hla ni Siman Bitrus, Bitrus vren Yohana, u son me zan biyie?” Bitrus hla niwu, “Ee Bachi, U to ndi mi son wu.” Yesu hla niwu ndi, “No ntma mu ba biri.”
So, when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus says to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than these?” He says to Him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I'm fond of you.” He says to him, “Feed my lambs.”
16 Ala tre niwu ngari ni nkpu u ha, Siman ivren Yohana, U son me? Bitrus hla niwu, “E, ana Bachi, U to ndi mi son wu.” Yesu hla niwu, “krju ntma mu.”
He says to him again, a second time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me?” He says to Him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I'm fond of you.” He says to him, “Shepherd my sheep.”
17 Ala tre niwu u gyu u tra, “Siman ivren Yohana, u son Me?” U Bitrus a ku niri mre nitu wa Yesu a hla tre niwu u gyu tra, “U son Me?” A hla niwu “Bachi, U to wawu kpi, U to ndi mi son wu.” Yesu hla niwu, “No ntma mu biri.
The third time He says to him, “Simon, son of Jonah, are you fond of me?” Peter was grieved in that the third time He said to him, “Are you fond of me?” and said to Him: “Lord, you know all things. You know that I'm fond of you!” Jesus says to him: “Feed my sheep.
18 Njanji, njanji, Mi hla ni yiwu, ni wa u na he ni nze me, U ta zon kpame, ni hi wurji iwa u son'a, u ta cheye, u nme wo ba me son, u ndji ri mu ni zon kpa ni wu na ban wu hi ni wurji wa u na son hi'a na.
Most assuredly I say to you, when you were younger you used to get dressed and walk where you wished; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands and another will dress you and carry you where you do not wish.”
19 Yesu hla naki nitu bibi ikwu wa Bitrus ni kwu'a ni ndu Irji kpa gbre san, ni kogon wa a hla naki, na ni Bitrus, hu me.
(He said this to indicate the kind of death by which he would glorify God.) And upon saying that He says to him, “Follow me!”
20 Bitrus ka ban ya na to almajiri wa Yesu ni son asi hu ba, ni wa a ku yeren ni san Yesu ni ton wa ba si ta ri jibi wa tre, “Bachi, a nha mba ni ka wu le'a?”
But turning around Peter sees the disciple whom Jesus loved following (that is the one who reclined on His chest at the supper and said, “Lord, who is the one who is betraying you?”).
21 Wa Bitrus a to'a na tre Yesu, “Bachi, ahi ngye igu mu ni ti?”
Seeing him, Peter says to Jesus, “Lord, what about him?”
22 U Yesu tre, “Mi ti ni son ni ndu son gben Me niwayi hi ni nton wa Mi kma ye, ume hi ngye? Ye hu Me.”
Jesus says to him: “If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me.”
23 Itre ki yra shu ni mi Yahudawa andi, almajiri ki na kwu na. U wana naki na Yesu hla ni Bitrus na, almajiri mba ana kwu na, a tre Mita ni son ndu san, u ime ahi ngye?”
So this saying spread among the brothers, that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not say to him [Peter] that he [John] would not die, but, “If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?”
24 A wawu yi almajere wa asi sheda ikpi biyi, iwa a nha ba, u ki to gbigbi sheda ma njanji.
This is the disciple who is testifying to these things, and who wrote them; and we know that his testimony is true.
25 U mbrun ikpi bari gbugbuwu wa Yesu atie, u ba ni nha ba ni yiyri, mi hla ni yiwu, gbungblu wawu ani na ya ban nvunvu wa ba nha ni ba na.
Indeed, there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that not even the whole world could contain the books that would be written! Amen.
