Yohana 21
1 Payamasile yeleyo, Che Yesu ŵaakopochele sooni ŵakulijiganya ŵao mungulugulu litanda lya Tibelia. Ni ŵalilosisye kwanti yelei,
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 Che Simoni Petulo ni che Tomasi jwakuŵilanjikwa maŵila ni che Nasanieli jwa ku Kana ja ku Galilaya ni ŵanache ŵa che Sebedayo ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵane ŵaŵili, wose ŵaliji pamo.
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 Che Simoni Petulo ŵaasalile achinjakwe, “Ngwaula kukukoka somba.” Ni ŵanyawo nombe ŵansalile, “Noweji tutulongane nomwe.” Nipele ŵatyosile ni ŵakwesile ngalaŵa nambo chilo chila chose nganapatanga chachili chose.
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 Kundaŵi pe, Che Yesu ŵajimi mungulugulu litanda nambo ŵakulijiganya nganamanyililaga kuti ŵaliji ŵelewo.
Early the next morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but we did not know that it was Jesus.
5 Nipele Che Yesu ŵausisye, “Achachanda, ana nganimpate somba syasilisyose?” Ŵanyawo ŵajanjile, “Elo, nganitupate somba.”
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 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Mponye lwau kundyo kwa ngalaŵa chimpate somba.” Nipele ŵaponyisye lwau ni sambano nganakombolanga kulukwekwelemya ligongo somba syaliji syesijinji nnope.
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 Pelepo jwakulijiganya juŵanonyelwe nnope ni Che Yesu jula ŵansalile che Petulo, “Ambuje ŵelewo!” Palapala che Simoni Petulo paŵapilikene kuti Ambuje, ŵatakwile mwinjilo wao ligongo ŵaliji ausile ni kuliponyela mmeesi.
[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 Nambo ŵakulijiganya ŵane ŵala ŵaiche ku mbwani ni ngalaŵa ali nkulukwekwelemya lwau lwalugumbele somba pakuŵa nganatalichila kunsanga, mpela makongolo mia moja.
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 Paŵaiche kunsanga ŵauweni mooto wa makala ni pachanya pakwe paŵichikwe somba ni nkate.
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 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Muumbe somba simpepe simpatile sampano.”
Jesus said to us, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught!”
11 Nipele che Simoni Petulo ŵakwesile mu ngalaŵa, ŵaluwutile kunsanga lwau lwalugumbele somba syekulungwa mia moja na hansini na tatu. Namuno somba syo syaliji syesijinji kwanti yele, lwau nganilupapuka.
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 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Njisangane kunlye.” Nganapagwa namose jumo jwa ŵakulijiganya ŵao juŵalinjile kumbusya, “Ana mmwe ndi ŵaani,” pakuŵa ŵamanyilile kuti ali Ambuje.
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 Che Yesu ŵaiche, ŵajigele nkate ni kwapa. Ŵatesile iyoyo peyo ni somba sila.
Jesus took the buns and gave them to us. He did the same with the fish.
14 Keleka kaliji kaatatu Che Yesu kwakopochela ŵakulijiganya ŵao paŵamasile kusyuka.
That was the third time that Jesus appeared to [us] disciples after [God] caused him to become alive again after he died.
15 Paŵamasile kulya, Che Yesu ŵambusisye che Simoni Petulo, “Che Simoni mwanagwao che Yohana! Ana nkuunonyela une kwapunda ŵane wa?” Nombejo ŵajanjile, “Elo, Ambuje, nnyimanyi kuti uneji ngunnonyela.” Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Nsigose ngondolo syangu sya mwana.”
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 Nipele ŵambusisye sooni kaaŵili, “Che Simoni mwanagwao che Yohana! Ana nkuunonyela une?” Che Petulo wajanjile, “Elo, Ambuje, nnyimanyi kuti ngunnonyela.” Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Nsigose ngondolo syangu.”
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 Nipele ŵambusisye sooni kaatatu kuti, “Che Simoni mwanagwao che Yohana! Ana nkuunonyela une?” Pelepo che Petulo ŵalilasiche muntima pakuŵa ŵausisye kaatatu, “Nkuunonyela?” Ni ŵajanjile, “Ambuje, mmwe nnyimanyi yose, mmwe nnyimanyi kuti uneji ngunnonyela.” Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Nsigose ngondolo syangu!
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 Ngunsalila isyene, pamwaliji jwanchanda, mwasyoŵelele kulitaŵa mpumbulu mwasyene ni kwaula kwakulikose kumwasachile kwaula. Nambo pachinchekulupe, chinchijongola makono genu ni mundu jwine chachintaŵa ni kunjausya kungankukusaka kwaula.”
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 Kwakuŵecheta yeleyo, Che Yesu ŵalosisye chiwa chichawe che Petulo ni kwapa ukulu Akunnungu. Paŵamasile kuŵecheta yeleyo ŵansalile, “Munguye.”
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 Pelepo che Petulo ŵagalawiche ni kumbona jwakulijiganya juŵanonyelwe nnope ni Che Yesu achakuyaga. Jwakulijiganya ju ni jwejula juŵatemi kuŵandikana nnope ni Che Yesu katema ka chakulya cha Pasaka ni kwausya Che Yesu, “Ambuje ana nduni juchangalauche?”
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 Che Petulo paŵambweni jwelejo ŵambusisye Che Yesu, “Ambuje, nambi jwelejo chiyasimane ichichi?”
When Peter saw me, he asked, “Lord, what [is going to happen] to him?”
22 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Nasakaga asigale mpaka pachimuje ana mmwe ikumbandichila chichi? Mmwejo munguye une.”
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 Nipele ngani jo jajenele kwa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito kuti jwakulijiganya jo ngaawa. Nambo Che Yesu nganasala kuti ngaawa, nambo ŵatite, “Nasakaga asigale mpaka pachimuje ana mmwe ikumbandichila chichi?”
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 Jwakulijiganya ju ni jwejula jwaŵalasile umboni wa indu yi ni kulemba. Uweji tukumanyilila kuti yasasile ili isyene.
[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 Ipali indu ine yejinji iŵaitendekenye Che Yesu. Yeleyo ikalembekwe yose chimo chimo nguganisya kuti namose chilambo chose ngachikajenele kuŵika itabu yaikalembekwe.
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].
