< John 21 >

1 After these things, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself this way.
Shure kwezvinhu izvi Jesu wakazviratidzazve kuvadzidzi pagungwa reTibheriasi; uye wakazviratidza sezvizvi:
2 Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together.
Vaiva pamwe Simoni Petro, naTomasi anonzi Dhidhimo, naNatanieri waibva Kana yeGarirea, nevanakomana vaZebhedhi, nevamwe vaviri vevadzidzi vake.
3 Simon Peter said to them, “I’m going fishing.” They told him, “We are also coming with you.” They immediately went out and entered into the boat. That night, they caught nothing.
Simoni Petro akati kwavari: Ndoenda kunobata hove. Vakati kwaari: Nesu toenda newe. Vakabuda ndokupinda muchikepe pakarepo, asi usiku uhwo havana kubata chinhu.
4 But when day had already come, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples didn’t know that it was Jesus.
Zvino kwakati kwatova mambakwedza, Jesu akamira pamahombekombe, asi vadzidzi havana kuziva kuti ndiJesu.
5 Jesus therefore said to them, “Children, have you anything to eat?” They answered him, “No.”
Naizvozvo Jesu wakati kwavari: Vana vadiki, mune chero usavi here? Vakamupindura, vachiti: Kwete.
6 He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” They cast it therefore, and now they weren’t able to draw it in for the multitude of fish.
Ndokuti kwavari: Kandai mumbure kurutivi rwerudyi rwechikepe, uye muchawana. Naizvozvo vakakanda, zvino vakasazogonazve kuukweva nekuwanda kwehove.
7 That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It’s the Lord!” So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he wrapped his coat around himself (for he was naked), and threw himself into the sea.
Naizvozvo mudzidzi uya Jesu waaida wakati kuna Petro: NdiIshe. Ipapo Simoni Petro anzwa kuti ndiIshe, wakamonera nguvo yake yekunze (nokuti wakange akashama), akazviwisira mugungwa.
8 But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits away), dragging the net full of fish.
Asi vamwe vadzidzi vakauya nechikepe chidiki, vachikweva mumbure une hove, nokuti vakange vasiri kure nenyika, asi mbimbi dzinenge mazana maviri.
9 So when they got out on the land, they saw a fire of coals there, with fish and bread laid on it.
Zvino vakati vachisvika panyika, vakaona moto wemazimbe wakaiswapo, nehove yakaradzikwa pamusoro pawo, nechingwa.
10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.”
Jesu akati kwavari: Uisai dzimwe dzehove dzamabata ikozvino.
11 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land, full of one hundred fifty-three great fish. Even though there were so many, the net wasn’t torn.
Simoni Petro akakwira, akakwevera mumbure panyika, uzere nehove huru, zana nemakumi mashanu nenhatu; uye kunyange dzaiva zhinji dzakadai, mumbure hauna kubvaruka.
12 Jesus said to them, “Come and eat breakfast!” None of the disciples dared inquire of him, “Who are you?” knowing that it was the Lord.
Jesu akati kwavari: Uyai mudye. Asi hakuna kuvadzidzi wakatsunga kumubvunza kuti: Ndimwi ani imwi? vachiziva kuti ndiIshe.
13 Then Jesus came and took the bread, gave it to them, and the fish likewise.
Naizvozvo Jesu wakauya, ndokutora chingwa, akavapa, nehove saizvozvo.
14 This is now the third time that Jesus was revealed to his disciples after he had risen from the dead.
Urwu rwatova rwechitatu Jesu achizviratidza kuvadzidzi vake, amutswa kubva kuvakafa.
15 So when they had eaten their breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.”
Zvino vakati vadya, Jesu akati kuna Simoni Petro: Simoni waJona, unondida kupfuura ava here? Akati kwaari: Hongu Ishe; imwi munoziva kuti ndinokudai. Akati kwaari: Chedza makwayana angu.
16 He said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you.” He said to him, “Tend my sheep.”
Akati kwaarizve rwechipiri: Simoni waJona, unondida here? Akati kwaari: Hongu Ishe; imwi munoziva kuti ndinokudai. Akati kwaari: Fudza makwai angu.
17 He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you have affection for me?” Peter was grieved because he asked him the third time, “Do you have affection for me?” He said to him, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I have affection for you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.
Akati kwaari rwechitatu: Simoni waJona, unondida here? Petro akarwadziwa nokuti wakati kwaari rwechitatu: Unondida here? Akati kwaari: Ishe, imwi munoziva zvinhu zvese; imwi munoziva kuti ndinokudai. Jesu akati kwaari: Chedza makwai angu.
18 Most certainly I tell you, when you were young, you dressed yourself and walked where you wanted to. But when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you don’t want to go.”
Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwauri: Pawaiva mudiki, waizvisunga bhande, uchifamba kwawaida; asi kana wakwegura, uchatandavadza maoko ako, uye umwe achakusunga bhande, achikuisa kwausingadi.
19 Now he said this, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. When he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me.”
Wakareva izvi, achiratidza kuti mafiro rudzii aaizokudza Mwari nawo. Zvino wakati areva izvi, akati kwaari: Nditevere.
20 Then Peter, turning around, saw a disciple following. This was the disciple whom Jesus loved, the one who had also leaned on Jesus’ chest at the supper and asked, “Lord, who is going to betray you?”
Petro achitendeuka wakaona mudzidzi Jesu waaida achitevera, ndiyewo wakazendamira pachifuva chake pachirairo, akati: Ishe, ndiani achakutengesai?
21 Peter, seeing him, said to Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?”
Petro wakati achimuona akati kuna Jesu: Ishe, ko uyu?
22 Jesus said to him, “If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you? You follow me.”
Jesu akati kwaari: Kana ndikada kuti agare kusvikira ndichiuya, unei nazvo? Nditevere iwe.
23 This saying therefore went out among the brothers that this disciple wouldn’t die. Yet Jesus didn’t say to him that he wouldn’t die, but, “If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you?”
Zvino shoko iri rakabudira pakati pehama, kuti mudzidzi uyu haazofi; asi Jesu haana kureva kwaari, kuti haazofi; asi wakati: Kana ndichida kuti agare kusvikira ndichiuya, unei nazvo?
24 This is the disciple who testifies about these things, and wrote these things. We know that his witness is true.
Ndiyeyu mudzidzi anopupura zvezvinhu izvi, nekunyora zvinhu izvi; uye tinoziva kuti uchapupu hwake ichokwadi.
25 There are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they would all be written, I suppose that even the world itself wouldn’t have room for the books that would be written.
Uyewo zvimwe zvizhinji zviriko Jesu zvaakaita; kana zvainyorwa chimwe nechimwe, ndinofunga kuti kunyange nyika pachayo haizaiva nenzvimbo yemabhuku anganyorwa. Amen.
