< John 21 >

1 After these things Jesus showed himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias. This is how he showed himself:
Thuutha ũcio Jesũ nĩacookire akiumĩrĩra arutwo ake iria-inĩ rĩa Tiberia. Ũũ nĩguo kwahaanire:
2 Simon Peter was together with Thomas called Didymus, Nathaniel from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples of Jesus.
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 said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “We, too, will come with you.” They went and got into a boat, but they caught nothing during the whole 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 Now, when it was already early in the morning, Jesus stood on the beach, but the disciples did not know it was Jesus.
Rũciinĩ tene, Jesũ akĩrũgama hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria, no arutwo matiamenyaga atĩ nĩ Jesũ.
5 So Jesus said to them, “Young men, do you have anything to eat?” They answered him, “No.”
Nake akĩmeeta akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Arata akwa, nĩmũgwatĩtie thamaki?” Nao magĩcookia makiuga atĩrĩ, “Aca.”
6 He said to them, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they threw their net and were not able to draw it in because of the large 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.” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he tied up his outer garment (for he was undressed), and threw himself 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 in the boat (for they were not far from the land, about two hundred cubits off), and they were pulling the net full of fish.
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 got out upon the land, they saw a charcoal fire there and fish laid on it, with bread.
Maarĩkia kuumĩria marikabu, makĩona mwaki wa makara wakĩtio hau, na thamaki irĩ njĩkĩre riiko, na mũgate.
10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught.”
Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Rehei thamaki imwe cia iria mwagwatia.”
11 Simon Peter then went up and drew the net to land, full of large fish; 153. There were so many, but 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 Jesus said to them, “Come and eat breakfast.” None of the disciples dared 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, took the bread, and gave it to them, and the fish also.
Nake Jesũ agĩthiĩ, akĩoya mũgate akĩmahe, agĩcooka akĩmahe thamaki o nacio.
14 This was the third time that Jesus showed himself to the disciples after he had risen from the dead.
Rĩĩrĩ nĩrĩo rĩarĩ ihinda rĩa gatatũ rĩa Jesũ kuumĩrĩra arutwo ake thuutha wa kũriũka kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ.
15 After they ate breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” Peter said to him, “Yes Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “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 He said to him again a second time, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter said to him, “Yes Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Take care of 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 He said to him a third time, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was sad because Jesus had said to him a third time, “Do you love me?” He said to him, “Lord, you know all things, you know that 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 say to you, when you were young, you used to clothe yourself and walk wherever you wanted, but when you become old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will clothe you and carry you where you will 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 Now Jesus said this in order to indicate with what kind of death Peter would glorify God. After he had said this, he said to Peter, “Follow me.”
Jesũ oigire ũguo nĩgeetha onanie gĩkuũ kĩrĩa Petero agaakua, agoocithie Ngai. Agĩcooka akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nũmĩrĩra!”
20 Peter turned around and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them, the one who had also leaned back against the side of Jesus at the dinner and who had said, “Lord, who is the one who will 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 Peter saw him and then said to Jesus, “Lord, what will this man do?”
Na rĩrĩa Petero aamuonire-rĩ, akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, nake mũndũ ũyũ ũhoro wake nĩ atĩa?”
22 Jesus said to him, “If I want him to stay until I come, what is that to you? Follow me.”
Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ingĩenda atũũre muoyo nginya rĩrĩa ngacooka-rĩ, ũcio ũkĩrĩ ũhoro waku? Wee no nginya ũnũmĩrĩre.”
23 So this statement spread among the brothers, that that disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not say to Peter that the other disciple would not die, but, “If I want him to stay until I come, 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 about these things, and who wrote these things, 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 also many other things that Jesus did. If each one were written down, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain 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.
