John 21
1 After this, Jesus again showed Himself to the disciples. It was at the Lake of Tiberias. The circumstances were as follows.
Ni kogon bi kima, Yesu hla ka tsro Itu Ma ni almajere ma ni nyu nne Tiberiyas. Gen ya nda a tsro tuma:
2 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.
Siman Bitrus he mba Toma wa ba yo ni dan tagwai, ni Nataniyel, ni Kana u Galili, ni mri Zabadi, ni almajere Yesu hari bari ngari.
3 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.
Siman Bitrus hla bawu, “mi hi vu lambe.” U ba tre, “Kita me, ki huwu hi me.” U ba lu rju hi naka ri ni mi ingyu'a, ni chu chachuki bana vu kperi na.
4 When, however, day was now dawning, Jesus stood on the beach, though the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.
Se imble ni kpan, u Yesu kri ki ni nye nne, u almajere bana to me nda a Yesu na.
5 He called to them. "Children," He said, "have you any food there?" "No," they answered.
U Yesu tre ni ba, “Mri nze, bi he ni kpe wa bi ri'a?” U ba ti san na tre, “A'a.”
6 "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.
A hla ni bawu, “ta walawa u bu lambe hi ni wo kori ni gyu'a, bi vu bari.” U ba ta walawa mba, yo ni mma, na chu wo kran nitu wa lambe ba ku babran.
7 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.
U almajere ma wa Yesu ni son zan ba hla ni Bitrus, “Ahi Bachi.” U Siman Bitrus a wo naki Ashe ahi Irji, na lu sru kpi ma u ko tu'a (ana son ni kpa kuklu), na ton ku ni mi nne.
8 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.
Imbru almajere ba ba ye ni mi gyu vi tsitsa, (nitu wa bana gbonron gon ni bubu'a na, ina kamu deri ha hi ni ko tu), wa chu walawa shu ni lambe rju ni mi mma.
9 As soon as they landed, they saw a charcoal fire burning there, with fish broiling on it, and bread close by.
Ni ka walawa yo kora ni lambe'a, u ba to kla nu ni lambe ni tuma ni bredi.
10 Jesus told them to fetch some of the fish which they had just caught.
Yesu bla nji bari ye ni mi lambe'a niwa bi vu zizan.”
11 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.
U Siman Bitrus a hon, na gbi walawa shu ni lambe deri ni hamsi don tra. Ni bran mba me, walwa na ya ba na.
12 "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.
U Yesu hla ni bawu, ye ni ye kle ye.” U riri me ni mi almajere ma me na ya miyen na, “A wu nha?” Ba to nda Yesu.
13 Then Jesus came and took the bread and gave them some, and the fish in the same way.
Yesu ye, na ban bredi'a, na ga ba, nilambe me.
14 This was now the third occasion on which Jesus showed Himself to the disciples after He had risen from among the dead.
Iki a hi gyu u tra mba Yesu ni tsro tu ma ni almajere ma ni kogon wa a lunde ni be.
15 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.
Ni kogon wa ba kle ya, Yesu hla ni Siman Bitrus, Bitrus vren Yohana, u son me zan biyie?” Bitrus hla niwu, “Ee Bachi, U to ndi mi son wu.” Yesu hla niwu ndi, “No ntma mu ba biri.”
16 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.
Ala tre niwu ngari ni nkpu u ha, Siman ivren Yohana, U son me? Bitrus hla niwu, “E, ana Bachi, U to ndi mi son wu.” Yesu hla niwu, “krju ntma mu.”
17 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.
Ala tre niwu u gyu u tra, “Siman ivren Yohana, u son Me?” U Bitrus a ku niri mre nitu wa Yesu a hla tre niwu u gyu tra, “U son Me?” A hla niwu “Bachi, U to wawu kpi, U to ndi mi son wu.” Yesu hla niwu, “No ntma mu biri.
18 "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."
Njanji, njanji, Mi hla ni yiwu, ni wa u na he ni nze me, U ta zon kpame, ni hi wurji iwa u son'a, u ta cheye, u nme wo ba me son, u ndji ri mu ni zon kpa ni wu na ban wu hi ni wurji wa u na son hi'a na.
19 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."
Yesu hla naki nitu bibi ikwu wa Bitrus ni kwu'a ni ndu Irji kpa gbre san, ni kogon wa a hla naki, na ni Bitrus, hu me.
20 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?"
Bitrus ka ban ya na to almajiri wa Yesu ni son asi hu ba, ni wa a ku yeren ni san Yesu ni ton wa ba si ta ri jibi wa tre, “Bachi, a nha mba ni ka wu le'a?”
21 On seeing him, Peter asked Jesus, "And, Master, what about him?"
Wa Bitrus a to'a na tre Yesu, “Bachi, ahi ngye igu mu ni ti?”
22 "If I desire him to remain till I come," replied Jesus, "what concern is that of yours? You, yourself, must follow me."
U Yesu tre, “Mi ti ni son ni ndu son gben Me niwayi hi ni nton wa Mi kma ye, ume hi ngye? Ye hu Me.”
23 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?"
Itre ki yra shu ni mi Yahudawa andi, almajiri ki na kwu na. U wana naki na Yesu hla ni Bitrus na, almajiri mba ana kwu na, a tre Mita ni son ndu san, u ime ahi ngye?”
24 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.
A wawu yi almajere wa asi sheda ikpi biyi, iwa a nha ba, u ki to gbigbi sheda ma njanji.
25 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.
U mbrun ikpi bari gbugbuwu wa Yesu atie, u ba ni nha ba ni yiyri, mi hla ni yiwu, gbungblu wawu ani na ya ban nvunvu wa ba nha ni ba na.
