John 21
1 After these things Jesus manifested himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and he manifested [himself] on this wise.
Baada ya hayo Yesu aliwatokea tena wanafunzi wake kando ya ziwa Tiberia. Aliwatokea hivi:
2 There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the [sons] of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples.
Simoni Petro, Thoma (aitwaye Pacha), na Nathanieli mwenyeji wa Kana Galilaya, wana wawili wa Zebedayo na wanafunzi wake wengine wawili, walikuwa wote pamoja.
3 Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also come with thee. They went forth, and entered into the boat; and that night they took nothing.
Simoni Petro aliwaambia, “Nakwenda kuvua samaki.” Nao wakamwambia, “Nasi tutafuatana nawe.” Basi, wakaenda, wakapanda mashua, lakini usiku huo hawakupata chochote.
4 But when day was now breaking, Jesus stood on the beach: howbeit the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.
Kulipoanza kupambazuka, Yesu alisimama kando ya ziwa, lakini wanafunzi hawakujua kwamba alikuwa yeye.
5 Jesus therefore saith unto them, Children, have ye aught to eat? They answered him, No.
Basi, Yesu akawauliza, “Vijana, hamjapata samaki wowote sio?” Wao wakamjibu, “La! Hatujapata kitu.”
6 And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.
Yesu akawaambia, “Tupeni wavu upande wa kulia wa mashua nanyi mtapata samaki.” Basi, wakatupa wavu lakini sasa hawakuweza kuuvuta tena kwa wingi wa samaki.
7 That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his coat about him (for he was naked), and cast himself into the sea.
Hapo yule mwanafunzi aliyependwa na Yesu akamwambia Petro, “Ni Bwana!” Simoni Petro aliposikia ya kuwa ni Bwana, akajifunga vazi lake (maana hakuwa amelivaa), akarukia majini.
8 But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits off), dragging the net [full] of fishes.
Lakini wale wanafunzi wengine walikuja pwani kwa mashua huku wanauvuta wavu uliojaa samaki; hawakuwa mbali na nchi kavu, ila walikuwa yapata mita mia moja kutoka ukingoni.
9 So when they got out upon the land, they see a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.
Walipofika nchi kavu waliona moto wa makaa umewashwa na juu yake pamewekwa samaki na mkate.
10 Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now taken.
Yesu akawaambia, “Leteni hapa baadhi ya samaki mliovua.”
11 Simon Peter therefore went up, and drew the net to land, full of great fishes, a hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, the net was not rent.
Basi, Simoni Petro akapanda mashuani, akavuta hadi nchi kavu ule wavu uliokuwa umejaa samaki wakubwa mia moja na hamsini na watatu. Na ingawa walikuwa wengi hivyo wavu haukukatika.
12 Jesus saith unto them, Come [and] break your fast. And none of the disciples durst inquire of him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.
Yesu akawaambia, “Njoni mkafungue kinywa.” Hakuna hata mmoja wao aliyethubutu kumwuliza: “Wewe ni nani?” Maana walijua alikuwa Bwana.
13 Jesus cometh, and taketh the bread, and giveth them, and the fish likewise.
Yesu akaja, akatwaa mkate akawapa; akafanya vivyo hivyo na wale samaki.
14 This is now the third time that Jesus was manifested to the disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.
Hii ilikuwa mara ya tatu Yesu kuwatokea wanafunzi wake baada ya kufufuka kutoka wafu.
15 So when they had broken their fast, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, [son] of John, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.
Walipokwisha kula, Yesu alimwuliza Simoni Petro, “Simoni, mwana wa Yohane! Je, wanipenda mimi zaidi kuliko hawa?” Naye akajibu, “Naam, Bwana; wajua kwamba mimi nakupenda.” Yesu akamwambia, “Tunza wana kondoo wangu.”
16 He saith to him again a second time, Simon, [son] of John, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Tend my sheep.
Kisha akamwambia mara ya pili, “Simoni mwana wa Yohane! Je, wanipenda?” Petro akamjibu, “Naam, Bwana; wajua kwamba nakupenda.” Yesu akamwambia, “Tunza kondoo wangu.”
17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, [son] of John, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
Akamwuliza mara ya tatu, “Simoni mwana wa Yohane! Je, wanipenda?” Hapo Petro akahuzunika kwa sababu alimwuliza mara ya tatu: “Wanipenda?” akamwambia, “Bwana, wewe wajua yote; wewe wajua kwamba mimi nakupenda.” Yesu akamwambia, “Tunza kondoo wangu!
18 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.
Kweli nakwambia, ulipokuwa kijana ulizoea kujifunga mshipi na kwenda kokote ulikotaka. Lakini utakapokuwa mzee utanyosha mikono yako, na mtu mwingine atakufunga na kukupeleka usikopenda kwenda.”
19 Now this he spake, signifying by what manner of death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.
(Kwa kusema hivyo, alionyesha jinsi Petro atakavyokufa na kumtukuza Mungu.) Kisha akamwambia, “Nifuate.”
20 Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned back on his breast at the supper, and said, Lord, who is he that betrayeth thee?
Hapo Petro akageuka, akamwona yule mwanafunzi ambaye Yesu alimpenda, anafuata (Huyu mwanafunzi ndiye yule ambaye wakati wa chakula cha jioni, alikaa karibu sana na Yesu na kumwuliza: “Bwana ni nani atakayekusaliti?”)
21 Peter therefore seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do?
Basi, Petro alipomwona huyo akamwuliza Yesu, “Bwana, na huyu je?”
22 Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what [is that] to thee? follow thou me.
Yesu akamjibu, “Kama nataka abaki mpaka nitakapokuja, yakuhusu nini? Wewe nifuate mimi.”
23 This saying therefore went forth among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, that he should not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what [is that] to thee?
Basi, habari hiyo ikaenea miongoni mwa wale ndugu kwamba mwanafunzi huyo hafi. Lakini Yesu hakumwambia kwamba mwanafunzi huyo hafi, ila, “Kama nataka abaki mpaka nitakapokuja, yakuhusu nini?”
24 This is the disciple which beareth witness of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his witness is true.
Huyo ndiye yule aliyeshuhudia mambo haya na kuyaandika. Nasi twajua kwamba aliyoyasema ni kweli.
25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself would not contain the books that should be written.
Kuna mambo mengine mengi aliyofanya Yesu, ambayo kama yangeandikwa yote, moja baada ya lingine, nadhani hata ulimwengu wenyewe usingetosha kuviweka vitabu ambavyo vingeandikwa.
