UJohane 21
1 Ngemva kwesikhathi uJesu waphinda waziveza kubafundi bakhe oLwandle lwaseThibheriyasi. Kwenzakala kanje:
Baada ye nongwa ezyo oYesu ahwibhonesya nantele hwa bhanafunzi hunsombe ye Tiberia; eshi sha sheshi shahwibhonesezye yooyo:
2 USimoni Phethro, loThomasi (othiwa nguDidimasi) loNathaneli waseKhana eseGalile, lamadodana kaZebhediya labanye abafundi ababili babendawonye.
O Simoni o Petro alipandwemo no Tomaso wa kwiziwa Didimas, o Nathanaeli wa hu kana ye Galilaya, abhana bha Zebedayo na bhanafunzi bhamwabho bhabhele bha Yesu.
3 USimoni Phethro wabatshela wathi, “Ngisayagola inhlanzi” bona bathi, “Sizahamba lawe.” Ngakho baphuma bayangena esikepeni kodwa kababambanga lutho ngalobobusuku.
O Simoni Patro abhozya, “Ane embala ahwonze ensamaki.” Bhope bhabhozya, “Ate nate tibhala nawe.” Wahabhala bhahinjila mwi toli, ila nusiku owo bhonti sebhapete hahonti.
4 Ekuseni kakhulu uJesu wema ekhunjini kodwa abafundi kabananzelelanga ukuthi kwakunguJesu.
Shapwinti na hwahasha, oYesu ahemeleye hufukweni, wope abhanafunzi sebhamanyaga aje aali yo Yesu.
5 Wabamemeza wathi, “Bangane, lilokhu lingabambanga nhlanzi yini?” Baphendula bathi, “Hatshi.”
O Yesu abhabhozya, “Bhavijana, muli hahonti ahalyee?” Bhope bhayanga bhaga, “Hamuna.”
6 Wathi, “Phoselani umambule wenu ngakwesokunene kwesikepe lizagola khona.” Bathe sebenze njalo behluleka ukudonsa umambule ngenxa yobunengi benhlanzi.
Wabhabhozya, “Isyii owavu oupande wendeelo witoli, namwe munzapate hashee, “Bhahisya owavu bhope sebhawezizye aakuunye nantele afuatanaje esamaki zyali nyinji.
7 Lowomfundi owayethandwa nguJesu wathi kuPhethro, “YiNkosi!” USimoni Phethro wonela ukuzwa esithi, “YiNkosi,” wazembathisa ngesigqoko sakhe sejazi (ngoba wayesikhulule) weqela emanzini.
Ola omwanafunzi oYesu wagene wabhozya Petro, “Yo Gosi.” Wope oSimoni Petro lwa honvwa aje yo Gosi, wahwipinya omwenda gwakwe (afuatanaje sagaakwete shinza), pamande wahwiponya mwinsombe.
8 Abanye abafundi balandela ngesikepe bedonsa umambule ugcwele inhlanzi ngoba babengakhatshana lasokhunjini, kwakungaba yizinyathelo ezilikhulu.
Bhala abhanafunzi bhamwabho wahenza mwotori (sebhali hutali ne pwani, yali mita mia yeva afume ufukweni), bhope bhali bhakunya zila enyavu zyali zimemile ensamaki.
9 Ekufikeni kwabo okhunjini babona umlilo wamalahle uvutha kulenhlanzi phezulu kanye lesinkwa.
Na bhafiha hufwekweni, wagulola omwoto gwe kaala pala pamwanya yakwe pali ne nsamaki pandwemo na mabumunda.
10 UJesu wathi kubo, “Lethani ezinye inhlanzi elizibambileyo.”
O Yesu abhabhozya, “Leeti zimo ensamaki zyamwonzile esalezi eshi.”
11 USimoni Phethro wagada esikepeni, wadonsela umambule okhunjini. Wawugcwele inhlanzi ezinkulu, zilikhulu lamatshumi amahlanu lantathu, kodwa loba zinengi kangaka umambule kawudabukanga.
O Simoni Petro waazubha aguvute gula owavu gwagwali gumemile ensamaki engosi, esamaki zyali 153; hata nkashe zyali nyinji, ula owavu sewazembushe.
12 UJesu wathi kubo, “Wozani lizokudla.” Kakho kubafundi owaqunga isibindi sokumbuza ukuthi, “Ungubani wena?” Bakwazi ukuthi yiNkosi.
O Yesu abhabhozya, “Enzaji mupate vigulilo ilomu.” Nomo ata weka hwa bhanafunzi walenjele ahubhozye, “Awe we weenu?” Bhamenye aje ali yo Gosi.
13 UJesu weza, wathatha isinkwa wabanika, wenza njalo langenhlanzi.
O Yesu ahenza, ahega lila ibumunda, pamande abhapela, abhomba shesho huunsamaki zila.
14 Lesi kwasekuyisikhathi sesithathu uJesu ezibonakalisa kubafundi bakhe ngemva kokuvuswa kwabafileyo.
Ene yaali mara tatu oYesu hwa bhanafunzi bhakwe baada ya ovyionshe afume hwabhafwe.
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 ya hwigule ilomu, oYesu abhozya oSimoni Petro, “Simoni mwana wa Yohana aje, ongene ane ashile ebha?” O Petro ahaga, “Ena, Gosi; “Awe omenye aje ane agene.” O Yesu abhozya, “Lisya awanangole bhane.”
16 UJesu waphinda wathi, “Simoni, ndodana kaJohane, uyangithanda ngeqiniso na?” Waphendula wathi, “Yebo, Nkosi, uyakwazi ukuthi ngiyakuthanda.” UJesu wathi, “Gcina izimvu zami.”
Abhabhozya emara ya bheele, “Simoni mwana wa Yona, aje, ongeene?” O Petro ahaga, “Ena, Gosi; awe omenye aje ane egene. “O Yesu ahaga, “Dima engole zyane.”
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.
Abhozya nantele emara ya tatu, “Simoni, mwana wa Yohana, Aje ongene?” Wope oPetro azugumila huu shila shabhozezye mara hatatu, “Aje awe ongene?” Wope ahaga, “Gosi, omenye gonti; omenye aje egene.” O Yesu ahaga, Lisya engole zyane.
18 Ngikutshela iqiniso ngithi, usesemutsha wawuzigqokisa, uziyele lapho othanda khona; kodwa nxa usuluphele, uzakwelula izandla zakho, ugqokiswe ngomunye, akuhole akuse lapho ongafuni ukuya khona.”
Eteshela, eteshela, ehubhozya, nawahali kijana wamanyene akwate amenda weewe na abhale hwa hwonti hwo hwanza; ila nawaibhagoogolo waigolosya amakhono gaho, no weenje aihukwatizya amenda na hutwale hwa sohwanza abhale.”
19 UJesu wakutsho lokhu ebonisa indlela yokufa uPhethro ayezadumisa uNkulunkulu ngayo. Wasesithi kuye, “Ngilandela!”
O Yesu ayanjile ega aje abhonesye aje nfwa bhole o Petro yagamwamishe Ongolobhe. Nayanga ega, abhozya oPetro, “Onfwate.”
20 UPhethro wanyemukula wabona umfundi uJesu ayemthanda ebalandela. (Nguye lowo oweyama kuJesu esidlweni, owabuzayo wathi, “Nkosi, ngubani ozakuthengisa?”)
O Yesu agalushe na hulole ola omwanafunzi ola oYesu wagene wabhalondola- Ono yayola wahagamiye pashifubha sha Yesu omuda gwe shalyee sha na ndabhela na hubhozye, “Gosi, wenu wanzahugalushe?”
21 UPhethro wathi embona wathi, “Nkosi, kanti lo-ke?”
O Petro alolile nantele wabhozya oYesu, “Gosi, Ono omuntu anzabhombe eyenu?”
22 UJesu waphendula wathi, “Nxa ngifuna ukuthi asale ephila ngize ngibuye kulani lawe lokho? Wena kumele ungilandele.”
O Yesu ahaga, “Nkashe ehwanza aje asagale paka lwanayenza, elyo lihusu yenu?” Nfwaate.”
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?”
Enongwa ene yaahendelela mhati mwa bhala aholo, aje omwanafunzi ono sagaifwa. Ila oYesu sagabhozezye oPetro aje omwanafunzi oyo faafwa, “Nkashe ehwanza aje omwene asagale paka lwanayenza gahuhusu yenu?”
24 Lo nguye umfundi ozifakazayo lezizinto, onguye owazibhala phansi. Siyazi ukuthi ubufakazi bakhe buqotho.
Ono yo mwanafunzi wafumya oluhakikisyo lwe enongwa ezi na timenye aje oluhakikisyo lwakwe lwe lyoli.
25 UJesu wenza ezinye izinto ezinengi njalo. Aluba zonke zazingabhalwa phansi, ngibona ingathi lomhlaba wonke wawuzaswela indawo yezincwadi ezazingabhalwa.
Gahweli amambo gamwabho gaminji oYesu gabhombile. Zigadolilwe zyonti elola aje ensi ene seyahenzaga aye avibheshe evitabu vyavigadolilwe.
