< Yohana 21 >

1 Payamasile yeleyo, Che Yesu ŵaakopochele sooni ŵakulijiganya ŵao mungulugulu litanda lya Tibelia. Ni ŵalilosisye kwanti yelei,
After this, Jesus again showed Himself to the disciples. It was at the Lake of Tiberias. The circumstances were as follows.
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 was with Thomas, called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zabdi, and two others of the Master's disciples.
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 them, "I am going fishing." "We will go too," said they. So they set out and went on board their boat; but they caught nothing that night.
4 Kundaŵi pe, Che Yesu ŵajimi mungulugulu litanda nambo ŵakulijiganya nganamanyililaga kuti ŵaliji ŵelewo.
When, however, day was now dawning, Jesus stood on the beach, though the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.
5 Nipele Che Yesu ŵausisye, “Achachanda, ana nganimpate somba syasilisyose?” Ŵanyawo ŵajanjile, “Elo, nganitupate somba.”
He called to them. "Children," He said, "have you any food there?" "No," they answered.
6 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Mponye lwau kundyo kwa ngalaŵa chimpate somba.” Nipele ŵaponyisye lwau ni sambano nganakombolanga kulukwekwelemya ligongo somba syaliji syesijinji nnope.
"Throw the net in on the right hand side," He said, "and you will find fish." So they threw the net in, and now they could scarcely drag it along for the quantity of fish.
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.
This made the disciple whom Jesus loved say to Peter, "It is the Master." Simon Peter therefore, when he heard the words, "It is the Master," drew on his fisherman's shirt--for he had not been wearing it--put on his girdle, and sprang into the water.
8 Nambo ŵakulijiganya ŵane ŵala ŵaiche ku mbwani ni ngalaŵa ali nkulukwekwelemya lwau lwalugumbele somba pakuŵa nganatalichila kunsanga, mpela makongolo mia moja.
But the rest of the disciples came in the small boat (for they were not far from land--only about a hundred yards off), dragging the net full of fish.
9 Paŵaiche kunsanga ŵauweni mooto wa makala ni pachanya pakwe paŵichikwe somba ni nkate.
As soon as they landed, they saw a charcoal fire burning there, with fish broiling on it, and bread close by.
10 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Muumbe somba simpepe simpatile sampano.”
Jesus told them to fetch some of the fish which they had 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.
So Simon Peter went on board the boat and drew the net ashore full of large fish, 153 in number; and yet, although there were so many, the net had not broken.
12 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Njisangane kunlye.” Nganapagwa namose jumo jwa ŵakulijiganya ŵao juŵalinjile kumbusya, “Ana mmwe ndi ŵaani,” pakuŵa ŵamanyilile kuti ali Ambuje.
"Come this way and have breakfast," said Jesus. But not one of the disciples ventured to question Him as to who He was, for they felt sure that it was the Master.
13 Che Yesu ŵaiche, ŵajigele nkate ni kwapa. Ŵatesile iyoyo peyo ni somba sila.
Then Jesus came and took the bread and gave them some, and the fish in the same way.
14 Keleka kaliji kaatatu Che Yesu kwakopochela ŵakulijiganya ŵao paŵamasile kusyuka.
This was now the third occasion on which Jesus showed Himself to the disciples after He had risen from among the dead.
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 they had finished breakfast, Jesus asked Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these others do?" "Yes, Master," was his answer; "you know that you are dear to me." "Then feed my lambs," replied Jesus.
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.”
Again a second time He asked him, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" "Yes, Master," he said, "you know that you are dear to me." "Then be a shepherd to my sheep," He said.
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!
A third time Jesus put the question: "Simon, son of John, am I dear to you?" It grieved Peter that Jesus asked him the third time, "Am I dear to you?" "Master," he replied, "you know everything, you can see that you are dear to me." "Then feed my much-loved sheep," said Jesus.
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.”
"In most solemn truth I tell you that whereas, when you were young, you used to put on your girdle and walk whichever way you chose, when you have grown old you will stretch out your arms and some one else will put a girdle round you and carry you where you have no wish to go."
19 Kwakuŵecheta yeleyo, Che Yesu ŵalosisye chiwa chichawe che Petulo ni kwapa ukulu Akunnungu. Paŵamasile kuŵecheta yeleyo ŵansalile, “Munguye.”
This He said to indicate the kind of death by which that disciple would bring glory to God; and after speaking thus He said to him, "Follow me."
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 round and noticed the disciple whom Jesus loved following--the one who at the supper had leaned back on His breast and had asked, "Master, who is it that is betraying you?"
21 Che Petulo paŵambweni jwelejo ŵambusisye Che Yesu, “Ambuje, nambi jwelejo chiyasimane ichichi?”
On seeing him, Peter asked Jesus, "And, Master, what about him?"
22 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Nasakaga asigale mpaka pachimuje ana mmwe ikumbandichila chichi? Mmwejo munguye une.”
"If I desire him to remain till I come," replied Jesus, "what concern is that of yours? You, yourself, must follow me."
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?”
Hence the report spread among the brethren that that disciple would never die. Yet Jesus did not say, "He is not to die," but, "If I desire him to remain till I come, what concern is that of yours?"
24 Jwakulijiganya ju ni jwejula jwaŵalasile umboni wa indu yi ni kulemba. Uweji tukumanyilila kuti yasasile ili isyene.
That is the disciple who gives his testimony as to these matters, and has written this history; and we know that his testimony is true.
25 Ipali indu ine yejinji iŵaitendekenye Che Yesu. Yeleyo ikalembekwe yose chimo chimo nguganisya kuti namose chilambo chose ngachikajenele kuŵika itabu yaikalembekwe.
But there are also many other things which Jesus did--so vast a number indeed that if they were all described in detail, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would have to be written.
