Jọn 21
1 Mgbe ihe ndị a gasịrị, Jisọs gosiri ndị na-eso ụzọ ya onwe ya ọzọ. O mere nke a nʼakụkụ osimiri nke Tiberịas, lee otu o si mee.
Later on, Jesus showed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias.
2 Ụfọdụ nʼime ndị na-eso ụzọ ya nọkọrọ otu ebe. Ndị a bụ Saimọn Pita na Tọmọs (onye a na-akpọ Didimọs), na Nataniel, onye Kena nke Galili na ụmụ Zebedi, na mmadụ abụọ ndị ọzọ bụkwa ndị ozi ya.
It was in this way, – Simon Peter, Thomas, who was called “The Twin,” Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, Zebedee’s sons, and two other disciples of Jesus, were together, when Simon Peter said,
3 Saimọn Pita sịrị ha, “Ana m aga igbu azụ.” Ha sịrị, “Anyị ga-eso gị.” Ha biliri gaa, banye nʼime ụgbọ mmiri. Ma nʼabalị ahụ niile ha egbuteghị ihe ọbụla.
‘I am going fishing.’ ‘We will come with you,’ said the others. They went out and got into the boat, but caught nothing that night.
4 Mgbe chi na-abọ Jisọs guzoro nʼakụkụ mmiri. Ma ndị na-eso ụzọ ya amataghị na ọ bụ Jisọs.
Just as day was breaking, Jesus came and stood on the beach; but the disciples did not know that it was he.
5 Jisọs sịrị ha, “Ụmụntakịrị, unu gbutere azụ ọbụla?” Ha zara ya, “Mba.”
‘My children,’ he said, ‘have you anything to eat?’ ‘No,’ they answered.
6 Ọ gwara ha, “Wụnyenụ ụgbụ unu nʼakụkụ aka nri nke ụgbọ. Unu ga-egbutekwa azụ.” Mgbe ha mere nke a, ha enwekwaghị ike ịdọpụta ụgbụ ha, nʼihi ọtụtụ azụ nke dị nʼime ya.
‘Cast your net to the right of the boat,’ he said, ‘and you will find fish.’ So they cast the net, and now they could not haul it in because of the quantity of fish.
7 Mgbe ahụ onye ahụ na-eso ụzọ ya Jisọs hụrụ nʼanya gwara Pita, “Ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị!” Ngwangwa Saimọn Pita nụrụ na “ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị,” ọ yiiri uwe ya (nʼihi na ọ gba ọtọ), wụba nʼime mmiri ahụ.
The disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, ‘It is the Master!’ When Simon Peter heard that it was the Master, he fastened his coat round him (for he had taken it off), and threw himself into the sea.
8 Ndị ọzọ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya bịara nʼụgbọ mmiri nta ahụ, na-adọpụta ụgbụ ha nke azụ juru nʼime ya, nʼihi na ha nọ nso nʼala ihe dị ka narị nzọ ụkwụ na ise.
But the rest of the disciples came in the boat (for they were only about a hundred yards from shore), dragging the net full of fish.
9 Mgbe ha pụtara nʼelu ala, ha hụrụ ọkụ a kwanyere, nke a hụkwasịrị azụ nʼelu ya na ogbe achịcha.
When they had come ashore, they found a charcoal fire ready, with some fish already on it, and some bread as well.
10 Jisọs gwara ha, “Wetanụ ụfọdụ nʼime azụ ndị ahụ unu gbutere ugbu a.”
‘Bring some of the fish which you have just caught,’ said Jesus.
11 Saimọn Pita pụrụ gaa dọgota ụgbụ azụ ahụ nʼelu ala. Ihe juru ya bụ azụ ndị ukwuu nke ọnụọgụgụ ya dị narị na iri ise na atọ. Ma ụgbụ ahụ adọwaghị nʼagbanyeghị na azụ juru nʼime ya.
So Simon Peter got into the boat and hauled the net ashore full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three of them; and yet, although there were so many, the net had not been torn.
12 Jisọs sịrị ha, “Bịanụ rie nri ụtụtụ.” Ọ dịghị onye ọbụla nʼime ndị ahụ na-eso ụzọ ya jụrụ ya, “Ị bụ onye?” Nʼihi na ha maara na ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị.
‘Come and have breakfast.’, Jesus said. None of the disciples dared ask him who he was, because they knew it was the Master.
13 Jisọs bịara were achịcha ahụ nye ha. Otu ahụ ka o mekwara azụ ahụ.
Jesus went and took the bread and gave it to them, and the fish too.
14 Nke a bụ ugboro atọ Jisọs gosiri ndị na-eso ụzọ ya onwe ya mgbe e mere ka o si nʼọnwụ bilie.
This was the third time that Jesus showed himself to the disciples after he had risen from the dead.
15 Mgbe ha risiri nri ụtụtụ, Jisọs sịrị Saimọn Pita, “Saimọn nwa Jọn, ị hụrụ m nʼanya karịa ndị a niile?” Ọ sịrị ya, “E, Onyenwe anyị, ị maara na m hụrụ gị nʼanya.” Jisọs sịrị ya, “Na-azụ ụmụ atụrụ m.”
When breakfast was over, Jesus said to Simon Peter, ‘Simon, son of John, do you love me more than the others?’ ‘Yes, Master,’ he answered, ‘you know that I am your friend.’ ‘Feed my lambs,’ said Jesus.
16 Jisọs sịrị ya nke ugboro abụọ, “Saimọn nwa Jọn, ị hụrụ m nʼanya?” Ọ sịrị, “E, Onyenwe anyị, ị maara na m hụrụ gị nʼanya.” Ọ sịrị ya, “Na-elekọta atụrụ m.”
Then, a second time, Jesus asked, ‘Simon, son of John, do you love me?’ ‘Yes, Master,’ he answered, ‘you know that I am your friend.’ ‘Tend my sheep,’ said Jesus.
17 Ọ sịrị ya nke ugboro atọ, “Saimọn nwa Jọn, ị hụrụ m nʼanya?” O wutere Pita na ọ sịrị ya nke ugboro atọ, “ị hụrụ m nʼanya?” Ọ sịrị ya, “Onyenwe anyị, ị mazuru ihe niile, ị makwaara na m hụrụ gị nʼanya.” Jisọs sịrị ya, “Na-azụ atụrụ m.
The third time, Jesus said to him, ‘Simon, son of John, are you my friend?’ Peter was hurt at his third question being “Are you my friend?”; and exclaimed, ‘Master, you know everything! You can tell that I am your friend.’ ‘Feed my sheep,’ said Jesus.
18 Nʼezie, nʼezie asị m gị, mgbe ị bụ okorobịa ị na-eke ajị nʼukwu, gaa ebe ị chọrọ ịga. Ma mgbe ị ghọrọ agadi, ị ga-esetipụ aka gị, onye ọzọ ga-ekee gị ihe okike nʼukwu ma duru gị gaa ebe ị na-achọghị ịga.”
‘In truth I tell you,’ he continued, ‘when you were young, you used to put on your own clothes, and walk wherever you wished; but, when you have grown old, you will have to stretch out your hands, while someone else puts on your clothes, and takes you where you do not wish.’
19 O kwuru nke a iji gosi ụdị ọnwụ ọ ga-anwụ iji nye Chineke otuto. Mgbe nke a mesịrị, ọ sịrị ya, “Soro m.”
Jesus said this to show the death by which Peter was to honour God, and then he added, ‘Follow me.’
20 Pita chigharịrị hụ onye ahụ na-eso ụzọ ya nke Jisọs hụrụ nʼanya ka ọ na-esokwa ha nʼazụ. (Ọ bụ onyeozi ahụ dabeere ya nʼobi na nri anyasị, nke sịrị, “Onyenwe anyị, onye ga-arara gị nye?”)
Peter turned round, and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following – the one who at the supper leant back on the Master’s shoulder, and asked him who it was who would betray him.
21 Mgbe Pita hụrụ ya, ọ sịrị Jisọs, “Onyenwe anyị kedụ maka onye a?”
Seeing him, Peter said to Jesus, ‘Master, what about this man?’
22 Jisọs sịrị ya, “Ọ bụrụ na m achọọ ka ọ nọgide ruo mgbe m ga-alọghachi gịnị ka nke a bụ nye gị? Soro m.”
‘If it is my will that he should wait until I come,’ answered Jesus, ‘what has that to do with you? Follow me yourself.’
23 Ya mere, akụkọ a gbasara nʼetiti ụmụnna na onye a na-eso ụzọ ya agaghị anwụ. Ma Jisọs asịghị ya na ọ gaghị anwụ anwụ, kama, “Ọ bụrụ na m chọrọ ka ọ nọgide ruo mgbe m ga-abịa, ọ gbasara gị?”
So the report spread among his followers that that disciple was not to die; yet Jesus did not say that he was not to die, but said ‘If it is my will that he should wait until I come, what has that to do with you?’
24 Nke a bụ onye ahụ na-eso ụzọ ya onye na-agba ama ihe ndị a niile, ma deekwa ha nʼakwụkwọ. Anyị makwaara na ama ya bụ eziokwu.
It is this disciple who states these things, and who recorded them; and we know that his statement is true.
25 Ma ọ dị ọtụtụ ihe ndị ọzọ Jisọs mere. Ọ bụrụ na e dee ha niile nʼakwụkwọ, ọ dịghị m ka ụwa niile ọ ga-aba akwụkwọ a ga-ede banyere ha.
There are many other things which Jesus did; but, if every one of them were to be recorded in detail, I suppose that even the world itself would not hold the books that would be written.
