< John 21 >

1 Later, by the Sea of Tiberias, Jesus again revealed Himself to the disciples. He made Himself known in this way:
Thuutha ũcio Jesũ nĩacookire akiumĩrĩra arutwo ake iria-inĩ rĩa Tiberia. Ũũ nĩguo kwahaanire:
2 Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together.
Simoni Petero, na Toma (ũrĩa wetagwo Wa-mahatha), na Nathanieli wa kuuma Kana ya Galili, na ariũ a Zebedi, o na arutwo angĩ eerĩ maarĩ hamwe.
3 Simon Peter told them, “I am going fishing.” “We will go with you,” they said. So they went out and got into the boat, but caught nothing that night.
Simoni Petero akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndathiĩ gũtega thamaki.” Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Tũgũthiĩ nawe.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makiumagara, magĩtoonya marikabu, no ũtukũ ũcio matirĩ kĩndũ maagwatirie.
4 Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not recognize that it was Jesus.
Rũciinĩ tene, Jesũ akĩrũgama hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria, no arutwo matiamenyaga atĩ nĩ Jesũ.
5 So He called out to them, “Children, do you have any fish?” “No,” they answered.
Nake akĩmeeta akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Arata akwa, nĩmũgwatĩtie thamaki?” Nao magĩcookia makiuga atĩrĩ, “Aca.”
6 He told them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it there, and they were unable to haul it in because of the great number of fish.
Nake akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ikiai wabu mwena wa ũrĩo wa marikabu na nĩmũkũgwatia.” Rĩrĩa meekire ũguo, makĩremwo nĩ kũguucia wabu ũcio nĩ ũrĩa thamaki icio ciarĩ nyingĩ.
7 Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” As soon as Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he had removed it) and jumped into the sea.
Nake mũrutwo ũrĩa Jesũ eendete akĩĩra Petero atĩrĩ, “Nĩ Mwathani!” Na rĩrĩa Simoni Petero aiguire mũrutwo ũcio aamwĩra atĩ, “Nĩ Mwathani”, akĩĩoha nguo yake ya igũrũ (tondũ nĩamĩrutĩte), na akĩrũga maaĩ-inĩ.
8 The other disciples came ashore in the boat. They dragged in the net full of fish, for they were not far from land, only about a hundred yards.
Nao arutwo acio angĩ makĩmũrũmĩrĩra na marikabu maguucĩtie wabu ũiyũrĩte thamaki tondũ matiarĩ haraaya, maarĩ ta itĩĩna rĩa makinya igana rĩmwe kuuma hũgũrũrũ-inĩ.
9 When they landed, they saw a charcoal fire there with fish on it, and some bread.
Maarĩkia kuumĩria marikabu, makĩona mwaki wa makara wakĩtio hau, na thamaki irĩ njĩkĩre riiko, na mũgate.
10 Jesus told them, “Bring some of the fish you have just caught.”
Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Rehei thamaki imwe cia iria mwagwatia.”
11 So Simon Peter went aboard and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many, the net was not torn.
Nake Simoni Petero akĩhaica marikabu akĩguucia wabu ũcio nginya hũgũrũrũ-inĩ. Naguo waiyũrĩte thamaki iria nene, 153, no o na irĩ nyingĩ ũguo, wabu ũcio ndwatuĩkire.
12 “Come, have breakfast,” Jesus said to them. None of the disciples dared to ask Him, “Who are You?” They knew it was the Lord.
Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ũkai mwĩgagũre.” Hatirĩ o na ũmwe wa arutwo acio wamũũririe atĩrĩ, “Nĩwe ũ?” Nĩmamenyire atĩ nĩ Mwathani.
13 Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and He did the same with the fish.
Nake Jesũ agĩthiĩ, akĩoya mũgate akĩmahe, agĩcooka akĩmahe thamaki o nacio.
14 This was now the third time that Jesus appeared to the disciples after He was raised from the dead.
Rĩĩrĩ nĩrĩo rĩarĩ ihinda rĩa gatatũ rĩa Jesũ kuumĩrĩra arutwo ake thuutha wa kũriũka kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ.
15 When they had finished eating, Jesus asked Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love Me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he answered, “You know I love You.” Jesus replied, “Feed My lambs.”
Nao maarĩkia kũrĩa, Jesũ akĩũria Simoni Petero atĩrĩ, “Simoni mũrũ wa Jona, na ma ti-itherũ nĩũnyendete gũkĩra aya?” Nake agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ Mwathani, wee nĩũũĩ atĩ nĩngwendete.” Nake Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Heaga tũgondu twakwa gĩa kũrĩa.”
16 Jesus asked a second time, “Simon son of John, do you love Me?” “Yes, Lord,” he answered, “You know I love You.” Jesus told him, “Shepherd My sheep.”
Ningĩ Jesũ akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Simoni mũrũ wa Jona, ti-itherũ nĩũnyendete?” Nake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ Mwathani, wee nĩũũĩ atĩ nĩngwendete.” Nake Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Rĩithagia ngʼondu ciakwa.”
17 Jesus asked a third time, “Simon son of John, do you love Me?” Peter was deeply hurt that Jesus had asked him a third time, “Do you love Me?” “Lord, You know all things,” he replied. “You know I love You.” Jesus said to him, “Feed My sheep.
Agĩcooka akĩmũũria hĩndĩ ya gatatũ atĩrĩ, “Simoni mũrũ wa Jona, nĩũnyendete?” Nake Petero akĩigua ũũru ngoro nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa Jesũ aamũũririe hĩndĩ ya gatatũ atĩrĩ, “Nĩũnyendete?” Nake akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, wee nĩũũĩ maũndũ mothe; wee nĩũũĩ atĩ nĩngwendete.” Nake Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Heaga ngʼondu ciakwa gĩa kũrĩa.”
18 Truly, truly, I tell you, when you were young, you dressed yourself and walked where you wanted; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.”
“Ngũkwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, rĩrĩa warĩ mwĩthĩ nĩwehumbaga nguo, ũgathiĩ kũrĩa ũkwenda; no rĩrĩa ũgaakũra, nĩũgatambũrũkia moko, nake mũndũ ũngĩ nĩagakũhumba nguo, acooke agũtware kũrĩa ũtekwenda gũthiĩ.”
19 Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. And after He had said this, He told him, “Follow Me.”
Jesũ oigire ũguo nĩgeetha onanie gĩkuũ kĩrĩa Petero agaakua, agoocithie Ngai. Agĩcooka akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nũmĩrĩra!”
20 Peter turned and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them. He was the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper to ask, “Lord, who is going to betray You?”
Nake Petero eehũgũra akĩona mũrutwo ũrĩa Jesũ endete amarũmĩrĩire. (Ũcio nĩ ũrĩa wetiranĩtie na Jesũ rĩrĩa marĩĩaga irio cia hwaĩ-inĩ, na nowe wamũũrĩtie atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, nũũ ũcio ũgũgũkunyanĩra?”)
21 When Peter saw him, he asked, “Lord, what about him?”
Na rĩrĩa Petero aamuonire-rĩ, akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, nake mũndũ ũyũ ũhoro wake nĩ atĩa?”
22 Jesus answered, “If I want him to remain until I return, what is that to you? You follow Me!”
Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ingĩenda atũũre muoyo nginya rĩrĩa ngacooka-rĩ, ũcio ũkĩrĩ ũhoro waku? Wee no nginya ũnũmĩrĩre.”
23 Because of this, the rumor spread among the brothers that this disciple would not die. However, Jesus did not say that he would not die, but only, “If I want him to remain until I return, what is that to you?”
Nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo-rĩ, mũhuhu ũkĩhunja thĩinĩ wa ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ gũkĩĩrwo atĩ mũrutwo ũcio ndagakua. No Jesũ ndoigĩte atĩ ndagakua; ũrĩa oigĩte no atĩ, “Ingĩenda atũũre muoyo nginya rĩrĩa ngacooka-rĩ, ũcio ũkĩrĩ ũhoro waku?”
24 This is the disciple who testifies to these things and who has written them down. And we know that his testimony is true.
Mũrutwo ũcio nĩwe ũrĩ na ũira wa maũndũ maya mothe, na nowe ũmaandĩkĩte. Na ithuĩ nĩtũũĩ atĩ ũira wake nĩ wa ma.
25 There are many more things that Jesus did. If all of them were written down, I suppose that not even the world itself would have space for the books that would be written.
Jesũ nĩekire maũndũ mangĩ maingĩ. Korwo mothe nĩmandĩkirwo-rĩ, ngwĩgereria atĩ o na thĩ yothe ndĩngĩiganĩra mabuku marĩa mangĩandĩkwo.
