< Yoane 21 >

1 Sima na yango, Yesu abimelaki lisusu bayekoli na Ye na libongo ya ebale ya Tiberiade. Tala ndenge nini abimelaki bango:
After these things, Jesus showed himself again to his disciples, at the sea of Tiberias: and he showed himself thus:
2 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;
There were together, Simon Cephas, and Thomas called the Twin, and Nathaniel who was of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of the disciples.
3 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.
Simon Cephas said to them: I will go and catch fishes. They said to him: We will go with thee. And they went, and embarked in a ship: and that night, they caught nothing.
4 Na tongo makasi, Yesu atelemaki na libongo, kasi bayekoli bayebaki te ete ezali Ye.
And when it was morning, Jesus stood on the shore of the sea: and the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.
5 Yesu abengaki bango: — Bana na Ngai! Boni, bozali na mbisi te? Bazongisaki: — Te!
And Jesus said to them: Lads, have ye any thing to eat? They say to him: No.
6 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.
He said to them: Cast your net on the right side of the ship, and ye will find them. And they cast; and they could not draw up the net, because of the multitude of fishes it contained.
7 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.
And that disciple whom Jesus loved, said to Cephas That is our Lord. And Simon, when he heard that it was our Lord, took his tunic, and girded his loins, (for he had been naked, ) and threw himself into the sea, to go to Jesus.
8 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.
But the other disciples came in the ship, (for they were not very far from the land, only about two hundred cubits, ) and they dragged the net with the fishes.
9 Tango bakitaki na mabele, bamonaki mapa mpe moto ya makala oyo na likolo na yango ezalaki na bambisi.
And when they came upon the land, they saw coals placed, and fish laid on them, and bread.
10 Yesu alobaki na bango: — Boya na ndambo ya bambisi oyo bowuti kozwa.
And Jesus said to them: Bring some of the fishes, which ye have just caught.
11 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.
And Simon Cephas embarked, and drew the net to land, full of huge fishes, one hundred and fifty and three. And with all this weight, the net was not rent.
12 Bongo Yesu alobaki na bango: — Boya kolia. Lokola bayekoli bayebaki ete ezali Nkolo, moko te kati na bango amekaki kotuna Ye: « Ozali nani? »
And Jesus said to them: Come and dine. And no one of the disciples presumed to ask him, who he was; for they knew that it was our Lord.
13 Yesu apusanaki, azwaki mapa mpe akabolaki yango kati na bango; asalaki mpe bongo mpo na mbisi.
And Jesus came, and took bread and fishes, and gave to his disciples.
14 Ezalaki mbala ya misato oyo Yesu abimelaki bayekoli na Ye sima na kosekwa na Ye kati na bakufi.
This is the third time that Jesus appeared to his disciples when he had arisen from the dead.
15 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.
And when they had dined, Jesus said to Simon Cephas: Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me, more than these do? He said to him: Yes, my Lord: thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus said to him: Feed my lambs for me.
16 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.
Again, he said to him the second time: Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He said to him: Yes, my Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus said to him: Feed my sheep for me.
17 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.
Again, Jesus said to him the third time: Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? And it grieved Cephas, that he said to him the third time, Lovest thou me; and he said to him: My Lord, thou understandest all things, thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus said to him: Feed my sheep for me.
18 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.
Verily, verily, I say to thee: When thou wast young, thou girdedst thy own loins, and walkedst whither it pleased thee: but when thou shalt be old, thou wilt extend thy hands, and another will gird thy loins for thee, and will conduct thee whither thou wouldst not.
19 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!
And this he said, to show by what death he was to glorify God. And having said these things, he said to him: Follow me.
20 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.
And Simon turned himself, and saw coming after him, that disciple whom Jesus loved, who fell on the breast of Jesus at the supper, and said, My Lord, who is it will betray thee?
21 Tango Petelo amonaki ye, atunaki Yesu: — Nkolo, okanisi nini mpo na ye?
Him Cephas saw, and said to Jesus: My Lord, as for this man, what?
22 Yesu azongisaki: — Soki nalingi ete azala kaka na bomoi kino tango nakoya, wana etali yo na nini? Kasi yo, landa Ngai.
Jesus said to him: If I will, that he abide here until I come, what is that to thee? Follow thou me.
23 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? »
And this saying went forth among the brethren, that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not say, that he would not die; but, If I will that he abide here until I come, what is that to thee.
24 Ezali kutu moyekoli yango nde azali kotatola makambo yango mpe akomaki yango na mokanda. Mpe biso toyebi ete litatoli na ye ezali ya solo.
This is the disciple who hath testified of all these things, and hath written them: and we know, that his testimony is true.
25 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.
And there are also many other things, which Jesus did; which, if written out with particularity, the world itself, as I suppose, would not suffice for the books that would be written. Completion of the Holy Gospel, the announcement of John the Evangelist; which he uttered, in Greek, at Ephesus.
