UJohane 21
1 Ngemva kwesikhathi uJesu waphinda waziveza kubafundi bakhe oLwandle lwaseThibheriyasi. Kwenzakala kanje:
Baada jha mambo aghu Yesu kwidhihirisha kabhele kwa bhanafunzi mu Bahari jha Tiberia; efe ndo kyaakidhihirishi muene:
2 USimoni Phethro, loThomasi (othiwa nguDidimasi) loNathaneli waseKhana eseGalile, lamadodana kaZebhediya labanye abafundi ababili babendawonye.
Simoni Petro ajhele pamonga ni Thomaso jhaakutibhweghe Didimas, Nathanaeli ghwa Kana jha Galilaya, bhana bha Zebedayo ni bhanafunzi bhangi bhabhele bha Yesu.
3 USimoni Phethro wabatshela wathi, “Ngisayagola inhlanzi” bona bathi, “Sizahamba lawe.” Ngakho baphuma bayangena esikepeni kodwa kababambanga lutho ngalobobusuku.
Simoni Petro akabhajobhela, “Nene nilota kulobha somba.” Ni bhene bhakan'jobhela, “Tete, pia twilota pamonga ni bhebhe.” Bhakalota bhakajhingila mu mashua, lakini kinu kyoha eku bhakilepi khenu.
4 Ekuseni kakhulu uJesu wema ekhunjini kodwa abafundi kabananzelelanga ukuthi kwakunguJesu.
Ni lukhela bho kubhalele, Yesu ajhemili kundema, na bhene bhanafunzi bhamanyilepi kujha ndo Yesu.
5 Wabamemeza wathi, “Bangane, lilokhu lingabambanga nhlanzi yini?” Baphendula bathi, “Hatshi.”
Kisha Yesu akabhajobhela, “Bhasongolo, mujhe ni kyokyoha kya kulya?” Na bhene bakan'jibu, “Lepi.”
6 Wathi, “Phoselani umambule wenu ngakwesokunene kwesikepe lizagola khona.” Bathe sebenze njalo behluleka ukudonsa umambule ngenxa yobunengi benhlanzi.
Akabhajobhela, “Muselesiajhi nkwabhu lubhafu kwa kuume bhwa mashua, na mu mwibeta kukabha kiasi.” Kwa hiyo bhakaselesya nkwabhu ni bhene bhabhwesilepi kufuta kabhele kwandabha jha bhwingi bhwa somba.
7 Lowomfundi owayethandwa nguJesu wathi kuPhethro, “YiNkosi!” USimoni Phethro wonela ukuzwa esithi, “YiNkosi,” wazembathisa ngesigqoko sakhe sejazi (ngoba wayesikhulule) weqela emanzini.
Basi mwanafunzi jhola ambajhe Yesu an'ganili akan'jobhela Petro, “Ndo Bwana.” Ni muene Simoni Petro bho apeliki kujha ndo Bwana, akakikonga liguanda lya muene (ndabha alifwali lepi kinofu), kisha akakisopa mu masi.
8 Abanye abafundi balandela ngesikepe bedonsa umambule ugcwele inhlanzi ngoba babengakhatshana lasokhunjini, kwakungaba yizinyathelo ezilikhulu.
Bhanafunzi bhangi bhala bhakahida mu mashua (kwani bhajhelepi patali ni pwani, kama mita mia moja kuhomela ufukweni), na bhene bhakajha bhifuta mikwabhu ghela ambaghyo ghyamemili somba.
9 Ekufikeni kwabo okhunjini babona umlilo wamalahle uvutha kulenhlanzi phezulu kanye lesinkwa.
Bho bhafikili ufukweni, bhaghubhwene muoto ghwa mkaa pala ni panani pa muene kwajhele ni somba pamonga ni mkate.
10 UJesu wathi kubo, “Lethani ezinye inhlanzi elizibambileyo.”
Yesu akabhajobhela, “Muletayi baadhi jha somba sya mulobhili henu naha.”
11 USimoni Phethro wagada esikepeni, wadonsela umambule okhunjini. Wawugcwele inhlanzi ezinkulu, zilikhulu lamatshumi amahlanu lantathu, kodwa loba zinengi kangaka umambule kawudabukanga.
Basi Simoni Petro akakuela ni kuukokota nkwabhu bhwa wamemili somba sibhaha, kiasi kya somba 153; japo bhajhebhingi, nkwabhu bhola bhwakachwiki lepi.
12 UJesu wathi kubo, “Wozani lizokudla.” Kakho kubafundi owaqunga isibindi sokumbuza ukuthi, “Ungubani wena?” Bakwazi ukuthi yiNkosi.
Yesu akabhajobhela, “Muhidayi mkabhayi kifungua kinywa.” Ajhelepi hata mmonga ghwa bhanafunzi jhaan'kotili, “Bhebhe ghwa niani?” Bhamanyili kujha ajhele Bwana.
13 UJesu weza, wathatha isinkwa wabanika, wenza njalo langenhlanzi.
Yesu akahida, akautola n'kate bhola, kisha akabhapela, akabhomba mebhu niku somba sela.
14 Lesi kwasekuyisikhathi sesithathu uJesu ezibonakalisa kubafundi bakhe ngemva kokuvuswa kwabafileyo.
Ejhe jha jhele mara jha tatu kwa Yesu kwidhihirisha kwa bhanafunzi bha muene baada jha kufufuka kuhoma kwa bhafu.
15 Sebeqedile ukudla, uJesu wathi kuSimoni Phethro, “Simoni, ndodana kaJohane, ungithanda ngeqiniso na okudlula laba abanye?” Wathi, “Yebo, Nkosi, uyakwazi ukuthi ngiyakuthanda.” UJesu wathi, “Phana amawundlu ami ukudla.”
Baada jha kufungula kinywa, Yesu akan'jobhela Simoni Petro, “Simoni mwana ghwa Yohana je, uniganili nene kuliko abha?” Petro akajibu, “Ena, Bwana; “Bhebhe umanyili kujha nene nikuganili.” Yesu akan'jobhela, “Lesyajhi bhanakondoo bha nene.”
16 UJesu waphinda wathi, “Simoni, ndodana kaJohane, uyangithanda ngeqiniso na?” Waphendula wathi, “Yebo, Nkosi, uyakwazi ukuthi ngiyakuthanda.” UJesu wathi, “Gcina izimvu zami.”
Akan'jobhela mara jha pili, “Simoni mwana ghwa Yona, je, uniganili?” Petro akan'jobhela, “Ena, Bwana; bhebhe umanyili kujha nikuganili. “Yesu akan'jobhela, “Dimayi kondoo bhangu.”
17 Wasesithi kuye okwesithathu, “Simoni, ndodana kaJohane, uyangithanda na?” UPhethro wadabuka ngoba uJesu wambuza okwesithathu wathi, “Uyangithanda na?” Wathi, “Nkosi, uyazazi izinto zonke; uyakwazi ukuthi ngiyakuthanda.” UJesu wathi, “Phana izimvu zami ukudla.
Akan'jobhela kabhele mara jha tatu, “Simoni, mwana ghwa Yohana, Je uniganili?” Ni muene Petro ahuzuniki kwa vile kyaan'jobhili mara jha tatu, “Je Bhebhe uniganili?” Ni muene akan'jobhela, “Bwana, umanyili ghoha; umanyili kujha nikuganili.” Yesu akan'jobhela, Lesiajhi kondoo bha nene.
18 Ngikutshela iqiniso ngithi, usesemutsha wawuzigqokisa, uziyele lapho othanda khona; kodwa nxa usuluphele, uzakwelula izandla zakho, ugqokiswe ngomunye, akuhole akuse lapho ongafuni ukuya khona.”
Aminiayi, aminiayi, nikujobhela, bho ghwen'songolo ghwasobhelili kufwala nghobho muene ni kulota kokuoha khola kwa ulondeghe; lakini paghwibetakujha ghwe nseya, ghwibetakugholosya mabhoko gha jhobhi, ni jhongi ibetakufwalika nghobho ni kukupeleka kwa ulondeghe lepi kulota.”
19 UJesu wakutsho lokhu ebonisa indlela yokufa uPhethro ayezadumisa uNkulunkulu ngayo. Wasesithi kuye, “Ngilandela!”
Yesu ajobhi agha ili kulasya ni aina jheleku jha kifo ambakyo Petro ngaan'tukuizi K'yara. Baada jha kujha ajobhili agha, akan'jobhela Petro, “Nikesiajhi.”
20 UPhethro wanyemukula wabona umfundi uJesu ayemthanda ebalandela. (Nguye lowo oweyama kuJesu esidlweni, owabuzayo wathi, “Nkosi, ngubani ozakuthengisa?”)
Petro akageuka ni kumbona jhola mwanafunzi ambajhe Yesu an'ganili akabhakesya- Ojho ndo ajhele akijheghemisi mu kifua kya Yesu wakati wa kyakulya kya kimihi ni kun'kota, “Bwana, niani jhaibetakusaliti?”
21 UPhethro wathi embona wathi, “Nkosi, kanti lo-ke?”
Petro ambwene ni kisha akan'kota Yesu, “Bwana, Ojho munu ibetakubhomba kiki?”
22 UJesu waphendula wathi, “Nxa ngifuna ukuthi asale ephila ngize ngibuye kulani lawe lokho? Wena kumele ungilandele.”
Yesu akan'jibu, “Kama nilonda abakilayi mpaka pa nibetakuhida, e'lu likuhusu kiki?” Nikesiajhi.”
23 Ngenxa yalokhu, kwaba lehungahunga phakathi kwabazalwane lokuthi umfundi lo wayengezukufa. Kodwa uJesu katshongo ukuthi wayengezukufa; wathi nje kuphela, “Nxa ngifuna ukuthi asale ephila ngize ngibuye, kulani lawe lokho?”
Kwa hiyo habari ejhe jhikaenela miongoni mwa bhala ndugu, kwamba mwanafunzi ojhui ibetalepi kufwa. Lakini Yesu an'jobhilepi Petro kujha, mwanafunzi ojhu ifwa lepi, “Kama nilonda muene abakilayi mpaka pa nibetakuhida ghikuhusu kiki?”
24 Lo nguye umfundi ozifakazayo lezizinto, onguye owazibhala phansi. Siyazi ukuthi ubufakazi bakhe buqotho.
Ojho ndo mwanafunzi jhaibetakupisya ushuhuda bhwa mambo agha, na ndo jhaalembili mambo agha, na tumanyili jha kujha ushuhuda bhwa muene bhwa bhukweli.
25 UJesu wenza ezinye izinto ezinengi njalo. Aluba zonke zazingabhalwa phansi, ngibona ingathi lomhlaba wonke wawuzaswela indawo yezincwadi ezazingabhalwa.
Kuna mambo ghangi ambagho Yesu aghabhombili. Kama kila limonga ngalijhandikibhu, nidhanila kwamba ulimwengu bhuene ngabhutoshilepi kufibheka fitabu ambafyo ngafilembibhu.
