UJohane 21
1 Emva kwalezizinto uJesu wabuya wazibonakalisa kubafundi elwandle lweTiberiyasi; njalo wazibonakalisa ngalindlela.
Shure kwezvinhu izvi Jesu wakazviratidzazve kuvadzidzi pagungwa reTibheriasi; uye wakazviratidza sezvizvi:
2 Babendawonye oSimoni Petro, loTomasi othiwa nguDidimusi, loNathaniyeli oweKana yeGalili, lamadodana kaZebediya, labanye ababili babafundi bakhe.
Vaiva pamwe Simoni Petro, naTomasi anonzi Dhidhimo, naNatanieri waibva Kana yeGarirea, nevanakomana vaZebhedhi, nevamwe vaviri vevadzidzi vake.
3 USimoni Petro wathi kubo: Ngiyagola inhlanzi. Bathi kuye: Lathi sizahamba lawe. Basebephuma bahle bangena emkhunjini, kodwa ngalobobusuku kababambanga lutho.
Simoni Petro akati kwavari: Ndoenda kunobata hove. Vakati kwaari: Nesu toenda newe. Vakabuda ndokupinda muchikepe pakarepo, asi usiku uhwo havana kubata chinhu.
4 Kwathi sekusemadabukakusa uJesu wema ekhunjini; kodwa abafundi babengazi ukuthi nguJesu.
Zvino kwakati kwatova mambakwedza, Jesu akamira pamahombekombe, asi vadzidzi havana kuziva kuti ndiJesu.
5 Ngakho uJesu wathi kubo: Bantwana, lilokudla yini? Bamphendula bathi: Hatshi.
Naizvozvo Jesu wakati kwavari: Vana vadiki, mune chero usavi here? Vakamupindura, vachiti: Kwete.
6 Wasesithi kubo: Phosani imbule ehlangothini lokunene lomkhumbi, njalo lizathola. Basebephosa, njalo babengaselakho ukulidonsa ngenxa yobunengi benhlanzi.
Ndokuti kwavari: Kandai mumbure kurutivi rwerudyi rwechikepe, uye muchawana. Naizvozvo vakakanda, zvino vakasazogonazve kuukweva nekuwanda kwehove.
7 Ngakho lowomfundi uJesu ayemthanda wathi kuPetro: YiNkosi. USimoni Petro, esezwile ukuthi yiNkosi, wagqoka isembatho (ngoba wayenqunu), waseziphosela olwandle.
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 Kodwa abanye abafundi beza ngomkolo, bedonsa imbule lenhlanzi, ngoba babengekhatshana lomhlabathi, kodwa kungaba zingalo ezingamakhulu amabili.
Asi vamwe vadzidzi vakauya nechikepe chidiki, vachikweva mumbure une hove, nokuti vakange vasiri kure nenyika, asi mbimbi dzinenge mazana maviri.
9 Kwathi sebekhuphukele emhlabathini, babona umlilo wamalahle khona, lenhlanzi zibekwe phezu kwawo, lesinkwa.
Zvino vakati vachisvika panyika, vakaona moto wemazimbe wakaiswapo, nehove yakaradzikwa pamusoro pawo, nechingwa.
10 UJesu wathi kubo: Lethani ezinye zezinhlanzi elisanda kuzibamba.
Jesu akati kwavari: Uisai dzimwe dzehove dzamabata ikozvino.
11 USimoni Petro wasekhwela, wahudulela imbule emhlabathini, ligcwele inhlanzi ezinkulu, ikhulu lamatshumi amahlanu lantathu; njalo lanxa zazinengi kangaka, imbule kalidabukanga.
Simoni Petro akakwira, akakwevera mumbure panyika, uzere nehove huru, zana nemakumi mashanu nenhatu; uye kunyange dzaiva zhinji dzakadai, mumbure hauna kubvaruka.
12 UJesu wathi kubo: Wozani lidle. Kodwa kakho kubafundi owaba lesibindi sokumbuza ukuthi: Ungubani wena? besazi ukuthi yiNkosi.
Jesu akati kwavari: Uyai mudye. Asi hakuna kuvadzidzi wakatsunga kumubvunza kuti: Ndimwi ani imwi? vachiziva kuti ndiIshe.
13 UJesu wasesiza, wathatha isinkwa, wabanika, lenhlanzi ngokufananayo.
Naizvozvo Jesu wakauya, ndokutora chingwa, akavapa, nehove saizvozvo.
14 Lokhu sekungokwesithathu uJesu ebonakaliswa kubafundi, esevukile kwabafileyo.
Urwu rwatova rwechitatu Jesu achizviratidza kuvadzidzi vake, amutswa kubva kuvakafa.
15 Sebedlile, uJesu wathi kuSimoni Petro: Simoni kaJona, uyangithanda kulalaba yini? Wathi kuye: Yebo Nkosi; wena uyazi ukuthi ngiyakuthanda. Wathi kuye: Phana amawundlu ami ukudla.
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 Wabuya wathi kuye ngokwesibili: Simoni kaJona, uyangithanda yini? Wathi kuye: Yebo Nkosi, wena uyazi ukuthi ngiyakuthanda. Wathi kuye: Yelusa izimvu zami.
Akati kwaarizve rwechipiri: Simoni waJona, unondida here? Akati kwaari: Hongu Ishe; imwi munoziva kuti ndinokudai. Akati kwaari: Fudza makwai angu.
17 Wathi kuye ngokwesithathu: Simoni kaJona, uyangithanda yini? UPetro wadabuka ngoba wathi kuye ngokwesithathu: Uyangithanda yini? Wasesithi kuye: Nkosi, wena uyakwazi konke; wena uyakwazi ukuthi ngiyakuthanda. UJesu wathi kuye: Phana izimvu zami ukudla.
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 Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kuwe: Usemutsha, wawuzibhinca, uhamba lapho othanda khona; kodwa nxa usumdala, uzakwelula izandla zakho, omunye abesekubopha, akuse lapho ongathandi khona.
Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwauri: Pawaiva mudiki, waizvisunga bhande, uchifamba kwawaida; asi kana wakwegura, uchatandavadza maoko ako, uye umwe achakusunga bhande, achikuisa kwausingadi.
19 Lalokhu wakutsho, etshengisa indlela yokufa ayezadumisa uNkulunkulu ngayo. Esetshilo lokhu wathi kuye: Ngilandela.
Wakareva izvi, achiratidza kuti mafiro rudzii aaizokudza Mwari nawo. Zvino wakati areva izvi, akati kwaari: Nditevere.
20 UPetro etshibilika wabona umfundi uJesu amthandayo elandela, yena futhi owayeyeme esifubeni sakhe ekudleni kwantambama wathi: Nkosi, ngubani ozakunikela?
Petro achitendeuka wakaona mudzidzi Jesu waaida achitevera, ndiyewo wakazendamira pachifuva chake pachirairo, akati: Ishe, ndiani achakutengesai?
21 Kwathi uPetro embona wathi kuJesu: Nkosi, lo-ke?
Petro wakati achimuona akati kuna Jesu: Ishe, ko uyu?
22 UJesu wathi kuye: Uba ngithanda ukuthi ahlale ngize ngifike, ulani lakho? Ngilandela wena.
Jesu akati kwaari: Kana ndikada kuti agare kusvikira ndichiuya, unei nazvo? Nditevere iwe.
23 Ngakho lelilizwi laphumela kubazalwane, ukuthi lowomfundi kayikufa; kanti uJesu katshongo kuye ukuthi kayikufa; kodwa wathi: Uba ngithanda ukuthi ahlale ngize ngifike, ulani lakho?
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 Nguye lowomfundi ofakaza ngalezizinto, lozibhalileyo; njalo siyazi ukuthi ubufakazi bakhe buliqiniso.
Ndiyeyu mudzidzi anopupura zvezvinhu izvi, nekunyora zvinhu izvi; uye tinoziva kuti uchapupu hwake ichokwadi.
25 Njalo zikhona lezinye izinto ezinengi uJesu azenzayo, uba bezilotshiwe zonke ngazinye, ngicabanga ukuthi lomhlaba lawo ubungebe lendawo yezingwalo ezilotshiweyo. Ameni.
Uyewo zvimwe zvizhinji zviriko Jesu zvaakaita; kana zvainyorwa chimwe nechimwe, ndinofunga kuti kunyange nyika pachayo haizaiva nenzvimbo yemabhuku anganyorwa. Amen.
