< John 21 >

1 After these things Jesus let himself be seen again by the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and it came about in this way.
Panyuma pakendi Yesu walalilesha kayi kuli beshikwiya bakendi kumulonga wa Tibeliyo.
2 Simon Peter, Thomas named Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were all together.
Shimoni Petro, Tomasi ne Nataniele wa kumunshi waku Kana mucishi ca Galileya, bana basa ba Sebediya, kayi ne beshikwiya nabambi babili, balikuba pamo.
3 Simon Peter said to them, I am going fishing. They said to him, And we will come with you. They went out and got into the boat; but that night they took no fish.
Shimoni Petulo walabambileti, “Ame ndenga akwikata inswi.” Nabo balambeti, “Nenjafwe tulenga nenjobe.” Balanyamuka nekuya akwingila mubwato. Nomba mashiku baliya kwikatapo inswi.
4 Now very early in the morning Jesus was there by the edge of the sea (though the disciples were not conscious that it was Jesus).
Mpobwalaca Yesu walemana pa mutunta. Nsombi beshikwiya basa nkabalenshibeti ni Yesu.
5 So Jesus said to them, Children, have you taken any fish? They made answer, No.
Lino nendi walabepusha eti, “Sena muliya kwikatapo inswi?” Nabo balambeti, “Sobwe, tulabwelekowa.”
6 And he said to them, Let down the net on the right side of the boat and you will get some. So they put it in the water and now they were not able to get it up again because of the great number of fish.
Yesu walabambileti, “Walani kombe kulubasu lwakululyo kwa bwato, nimwikate.” Naboyo balawala kombe, nomba balalilwa kukwela kombe pakwinga kalekata inswi shingi.
7 So the disciple who was dear to Jesus said to Peter, It is the Lord! Hearing that it was the Lord, Peter put his coat round him (because he was not clothed) and went into the sea.
Popelapo shikwiya usa Yesu ngwalikusuna maningi walambila Petulo eti, “Ni Mwami!” Shimoni Petulo mpwalanyumfwa kwambeti ni mwami, walafwala mwinjila wakendi (pakwinga walikuba laufululu mwinjila) Nomba walaliwala mu lwenje.
8 And the other disciples came in the little boat (they were not far from land, only about two hundred cubits off) pulling the net full of fish.
Lino beshikwiya nabambi basa balesa ne bwato kumutunta, nkabadonsa kombe kesula ne nswi shingi. Nkalikuba kutali ne mutunta, nsombi walikuba pepi ne ntamwa shakwana makumi asanu ne ana.
9 When they got to land, they saw a fire of coals there, with fish cooking on it, and bread.
Mpobalashika kumutunta balabona mulilo wa malasha kapali inswi ne shinkwa.
10 Jesus said to them, Get some of the fish which you have now taken.
Yesu walabambileti, “kamuletani inswi shing'ana pali isho nshomulekata.”
11 So Peter went to the boat and came back pulling the net to land, full of great fish, a hundred and fifty-three; and though there was such a number the net was not broken.
Lino Shimoni Petulo walengila mubwato musa nekukwelela kombe kumutunta, kalikuba kekata inswi shakwana mwanda ne makumi asanu ne shitatu. Nambi inswi shalafula mushobo uyu, kombe nkakalatwamuka sobwe.
12 Jesus said to them, Come and take some food. And all the disciples were in fear of putting the question, Who are you? being conscious that it was the Lord.
Yesu walabambileti, “Kamwisani mulye.” Nomba pa beshikwiya basa nkapalikuba nambi umo walaliyuminisha kumwipusheti, “Njobe bani?” Pakwinga balenshibeti ni Mwami.
13 Then Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and the fish in the same way.
Yesu walaya akumanta buledi ne kubapa. Walensa copeleco ne nswi shisa.
14 Now this was the third time that Jesus let himself be seen by the disciples after he had come back from the dead.
Pacindi ici alakwana mankanda atatu akubonekela kuli beshikwiya bakendi kufuma mpalapunduka kubafu.
15 Then when they had taken food, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon, son of John, is your love for me greater than the love of these others? He said to him, Yes, Lord; you are certain of my love for you. He said to him, Then give my lambs food.
Mpobalapwisha kulya, Yesu walepusha Simoni Petulo eti, “Obe Shimoni mwanendi Yohane, sena unsuni kupita bonse aba?” Nendi walambeti, “Cakubinga Mwami, mucinshi kwambeti ndimusuni.” Yesu walamwambileti, “Sunga mbelele shakame.”
16 Again, a second time, he said to him, Simon, son of John, have you any love for me? Yes, Lord, he said, you are certain of my love for you. Then take care of my sheep, said Jesus.
Yesu walamwipusha kayi katubili eti, “Obe Shimoni mwanendi Yohane, sena unsuni?” Nendi walambeti, “Cakubinga Mwami mucinsheti ndimusuni.” Yesu walamwambileti, “Sunga mbelele shakame.”
17 He said to him a third time, Simon, son of John, am I dear to you? Now Peter was troubled in his heart because he put the question a third time, Am I dear to you? And he said to him, Lord, you have knowledge of all things; you see that you are dear to me. Jesus said to him, Then give my sheep food.
Yesu walamwipusha kayi kabutatu eti, “Obe Simoni mwanendi Yohane, sena unsuni?” Nendi walambeti, “Cakubinga Mwami mucinsheti ndimusuni.” Yesu walamwambileti, “Sunga mbelele shakame.”
18 Truly I say to you, When you were young, you made yourself ready and went wherever you had a desire to go: but when you are old, you will put out your hands and another will make you ready, and you will be taken where you have no desire to go.
“Ndakwambilinga cakubinga, pacindi mpowalikuba mutuloba, walikulisunga wenka beloti nekuya kulikonse nkowalikwanda. Nomba wakacembela, nukatandabule makasa akobe kwambeti umbi akusunge beloti nekuya nenjobe nkotasuni.”
19 Now this he said, pointing out the sort of death by which he would give God glory. And after saying this, he said to him, Come after me.
(Yesu walamba bintu ibi kwambeti abenshibishe moshi akafwile Petulo kwambeti Lesa akalemekwe. Mpalambeco, walambila Petulo eti, “Nkonke.”)
20 Then Peter, turning round, saw the disciple who was dear to Jesus coming after them — the disciple who was resting on his breast at the last meal, and said, Lord, who is it who will be false to you?
Petulo walacebuka nekubonowa shikwiya usa Yesu ngwalikwanda maningi nkamukonkela munyuma. Endiye shikwiya usa walikuba watamina pantiti pa Yesu Pacindi cakusekelela pasa nekumwipusheti, “Mwami weshi akamuyabe kubalwani benu nibani?”
21 Seeing him, Peter said to Jesus, What about this man?
Popelapo Petulo walamubona nekumwipusheti, “Mwami, nomba uyu cilyeconi?”
22 Jesus said to him, If it is my desire for him to be here till I come back, what is that to you? come yourself after me.
Yesu walamwambileti, “Na ndandanga kwambeti nendi abe ne buyumi kushikila mpaka nkabwele, sena kuli obe ngaciba cani? Obe nkonke.”
23 So this saying went about among the brothers that this disciple would not undergo death: Jesus, however, did not say that he would not undergo death, but, If it is my desire for him to be here till I come back, what is that to you?
Lino lulumbi lwalanyumfwika pakati pa beshikwiya bonse kwambeti usa munabo nteshi akafwe sobwe, nsombi walambeti, “Na ndandanga kwambeti nendi akabe ne buyumi mpaka nkabwele, sena kuli obe ngaciba cani?”
24 This is the disciple who gives witness about these things and who put them in writing: and we have knowledge that his witness is true.
Uyu eweshikwiya usa walensa bukamboni bwa bintu byalenshika ibyo, kayi endiye walabilemba. Tucinshi kwambeti bukamboni bwakendi nibwakubinga.
25 And Jesus did such a number of other things that, if every one was recorded, it is my opinion that even the world itself is not great enough for the books there would be.
Nomba kuli bintu nabimbi bingi Yesu mbyalensa. Nebyalalembwa byonse ibyo ndashoma kwambeti pacishi conse capanshi nepalakabulu mabuku akulembamo byonse ibyo.
