< John 21 >
1 After these things Jesus Himself again appeared to the disciples on the Sea of Tiberias, and He revealed Himself thus:
Sima na yango, Yesu abimelaki lisusu bayekoli na Ye na libongo ya ebale ya Tiberiade. Tala ndenge nini abimelaki bango:
2 Simon Peter, and Thomas who is called Didymus, and Nathanael from Cana of Galilee, and the [sons] of Zebedee, and two of His other disciples were together.
Wana bayekoli oyo bazalaki esika moko: Simona Petelo, Toma oyo babengaka Lipasa; Natanaele, moto ya mboka Kana ya Galile, bana ya Zebede mpe bayekoli mosusu mibale;
3 Simon Peter says to them, “I go away to fish”; they say to him, “We go—we also—with you”; they went forth and immediately entered into the boat, and on that night they caught nothing.
Simona Petelo alobaki na bango: — Bandeko na ngai, nakeyi na ngai koloba mbisi! Balobaki na ye: — Biso mpe tokende elongo na yo! Bakendeki mpe bamataki na bwato; kasi na butu wana, bazwaki ata mbisi moko te.
4 And morning having now come, Jesus stood at the shore, yet indeed the disciples did not know that it is Jesus;
Na tongo makasi, Yesu atelemaki na libongo, kasi bayekoli bayebaki te ete ezali Ye.
5 Jesus, therefore, says to them, “Boys, do you have any meat?”
Yesu abengaki bango: — Bana na Ngai! Boni, bozali na mbisi te? Bazongisaki: — Te!
6 They answered Him, “No”; and He said to them, “Cast the net at the right side of the boat, and you will find [some]”; they cast, therefore, and no longer were they able to draw it, from the multitude of the fishes.
Alobaki na bango: — Bobwaka monyama na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali ya bwato, mpe bokozwa bambisi. Boye, babwakaki monyama mpe bakokaki lisusu te kobenda yango longwa na mayi, pamba te etondaki na bambisi ebele.
7 That disciple, therefore, whom Jesus was loving says to Peter, “It is the Lord!” Simon Peter, therefore, having heard that it is the LORD, girded on the outer coat (for he was naked), and cast himself into the sea;
Moyekoli oyo Yesu azalaki kolinga mingi alobaki na Petelo: — Bandeko, ezali Nkolo! Tango kaka ayokaki ete ezali Nkolo, Simona Petelo akangaki nzambala na ye na loketo mpe amibwakaki na mayi, pamba te amilongolelaki bilamba mpo na koloba mbisi.
8 and the other disciples came by the little boat, for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits away, dragging the net of the fishes;
Ezali bayekoli mosusu nde bazongisaki bwato na libongo, wana bazalaki kobenda monyama etonda na bambisi ebele, pamba te bazalaki mosika te na mokili: bametele pene nkama moko ekabolaki libongo na esika oyo bazalaki.
9 when, therefore, they came to the land, they behold a fire of coals lying [there], and a fish lying on it, and bread.
Tango bakitaki na mabele, bamonaki mapa mpe moto ya makala oyo na likolo na yango ezalaki na bambisi.
10 Jesus says to them, “Bring from the fishes that you caught now”;
Yesu alobaki na bango: — Boya na ndambo ya bambisi oyo bowuti kozwa.
11 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net up on the land, full of great fishes—one hundred fifty-three; and though they were so many, the net was not split.
Simona Petelo amataki na bwato mpe abendaki monyama kino na mokili. Ezalaki ya kotonda na bambisi ya minene pene nkama moko na tuku mitano na misato. Atako bambisi ezalaki penza ebele, monyama epasukaki te.
12 Jesus says to them, “Come, dine”; and none of the disciples were venturing to inquire of Him, “Who are You?” Knowing that it is the LORD;
Bongo Yesu alobaki na bango: — Boya kolia. Lokola bayekoli bayebaki ete ezali Nkolo, moko te kati na bango amekaki kotuna Ye: « Ozali nani? »
13 Jesus, therefore, comes and takes the bread and gives [it] to them, and the fish in like manner;
Yesu apusanaki, azwaki mapa mpe akabolaki yango kati na bango; asalaki mpe bongo mpo na mbisi.
14 this [is] now a third time Jesus was revealed to His disciples, having been raised from the dead.
Ezalaki mbala ya misato oyo Yesu abimelaki bayekoli na Ye sima na kosekwa na Ye kati na bakufi.
15 When, therefore, they dined, Jesus says to Simon Peter, “Simon, [son] of Jonas, do you love Me more than these?” He says to Him, “Yes, Lord; You have known that I cherish You”; He says to him, “Feed My lambs.”
Tango basilisaki kolia, Yesu atunaki Simona Petelo: — Simona, mwana mobali ya Yoane; boni, olingaka Ngai koleka ndenge bango balingaka Ngai? Azongisaki: — Iyo, Nkolo! Oyebi malamu ete nalingaka Yo. Yesu alobaki na ye: — Batela bampate na Ngai.
16 He says to him again, a second time, “Simon, [son] of Jonas, do you love Me?” He says to Him, “Yes, Lord; You have known that I cherish You”; He says to him, “Tend My sheep.”
Yesu atunaki ye mpo na mbala ya mibale: — Simona, mwana mobali ya Yoane; boni, olingaka Ngai? Azongisaki: — Iyo, Nkolo! Oyebi malamu ete nalingaka yo! Yesu alobaki na ye: — Batela bampate na Ngai.
17 He says to him the third time, “Simon, [son] of Jonas, do you cherish Me?” Peter was grieved that He said to him the third time, “Do you cherish Me?” And he said to Him, “Lord, You have known all things; You know that I cherish You.” Jesus says to him, “Feed My sheep;
Bongo Yesu atunaki ye mpo na mbala ya misato: — Simona, mwana mobali ya Yoane; boni, olingaka Ngai? Petelo ayokaki mawa mingi kati na motema mpo ete ekomaki mbala ya misato oyo Yesu atunaki ye: « Olingaka Ngai? » Bongo azongiselaki Yesu: — Nkolo, oyebi makambo nyonso; oyebi malamu ete nalingaka Yo! Yesu alobaki na ye: — Batela bameme na Ngai.
18 truly, truly, I say to you, when you were younger, you were girding yourself and were walking to where you willed, but when you may be old, you will stretch forth your hands, and another will gird you, and will carry [you] to where you do not will”;
Nazali koloba na yo penza ya solo: tango ozalaki elenge, ozalaki kokanga yo moko mokaba na yo mpe ozalaki kokende na esika nyonso oyo olingi. Kasi tango okokoma mobange, okotanda maboko na yo, mpe ekozala moto mosusu nde akokanga yo mokaba mpe akomema yo na esika oyo yo okolinga kutu kokende te.
19 and this He said, signifying by what death he will glorify God; and having said this, He says to him, “Follow Me.”
Yesu alobaki bongo mpo na kotalisa lolenge ya kufa oyo Petelo asengelaki kokufa mpo na nkembo ya Nzambe. Sima na Ye koloba bongo, alobaki na Petelo: — Landa Ngai!
20 And having turned, Peter sees the disciple whom Jesus was loving following (who also reclined in the dinner on His breast and said, “Lord, who is he who is delivering You up?”)
Petelo atalaki na sima mpe amonaki moyekoli oyo Yesu azalaki kolinga koleka bayekoli mosusu, ye oyo, wana bazalaki kolia, alalelaki Yesu na tolo mpe atunaki Ye: « Nkolo, nani akoteka Yo? » Ye mpe azalaki kolanda bango.
21 Having seen this one, Peter says to Jesus, “Lord, and what of this one?”
Tango Petelo amonaki ye, atunaki Yesu: — Nkolo, okanisi nini mpo na ye?
22 Jesus says to him, “If I will him to remain until I come, what [is that] to you? Follow Me.”
Yesu azongisaki: — Soki nalingi ete azala kaka na bomoi kino tango nakoya, wana etali yo na nini? Kasi yo, landa Ngai.
23 This word, therefore, went forth to the brothers that this disciple does not die, yet Jesus did not say to him that he does not die, but, “If I will him to remain until I come, what [is that] to you?”
Mpo na yango, sango epanzanaki kati na bandeko ete moyekoli yango akokufa te. Nzokande, Yesu alobaki te ete moyekoli wana akokufa te, kasi alobaki nde: « Soki nalingi ete azala kaka na bomoi kino tango nakoya, wana etali yo na nini? »
24 This is the disciple who is testifying concerning these things, and he wrote these things, and we have known that his testimony is true.
Ezali kutu moyekoli yango nde azali kotatola makambo yango mpe akomaki yango na mokanda. Mpe biso toyebi ete litatoli na ye ezali ya solo.
25 And there are also many other things—as many as Jesus did—which, if they may be written one by one, I think the world itself does not even have place for the scrolls written. Amen.
Yesu asalaki lisusu makambo mosusu ebele; soki bakomaki yango na mikanda moko sima na mosusu, nakanisi ete mokili mobimba elingaki kokoka te mpo na kobomba babuku oyo balingaki kokoma.
