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 that, Jesus showed himself to [us] disciples when we were at Tiberias Lake, [which is another name for Galilee Lake]. This is what happened:
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 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.
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 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.
4 Se imble ni kpan, u Yesu kri ki ni nye nne, u almajere bana to me nda a Yesu na.
Early the next morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but we 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.”
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].”
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.
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]!
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.
[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].
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.
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.
9 Ni ka walawa yo kora ni lambe'a, u ba to kla nu ni lambe ni tuma ni bredi.
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.
10 Yesu bla nji bari ye ni mi lambe'a niwa bi vu zizan.”
Jesus said to us, “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 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.
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 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.
13 Yesu ye, na ban bredi'a, na ga ba, nilambe me.
Jesus took the buns and gave them to us. He did the same with 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.
That was the third time that Jesus appeared to [us] disciples after [God] caused him to become alive again after he died.
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.
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.
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.
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].”
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.
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].”
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?”
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?”
21 Wa Bitrus a to'a na tre Yesu, “Bachi, ahi ngye igu mu ni ti?”
When Peter saw me, he asked, “Lord, what [is going to happen] to 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 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!”
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?”
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]”
24 A wawu yi almajere wa asi sheda ikpi biyi, iwa a nha ba, u ki to gbigbi sheda ma njanji.
[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.
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.
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].
