Yohana 21
1 Baada ya mambo hayo Yesu alijidhihirisha tena kwa wanafunzi katika Bahari ya Tiberia; hivi ndivyo alivyojidhihirisha mwenyewe:
After these things, Jesus showed Himself to the disciples again, at the Sea of Tiberias. He showed Himself in the following way.
2 Simon Petro alikuwa pamoja na Thomaso aitwaye Didimas, Nathanaeli wa kana ya Galilaya, wana wa Zebedayo na wanafunzi wengine wawili wa Yesu.
Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples were together.
3 Simon Petro akawaambia, “Mimi naenda kuvua samaki.” Nao wakamwambia, “Sisi, pia tutaenda nawe.” Wakaenda wakaingia kwenye mashua, lakini usiku huo wote hawakupata chochote.
Simon Peter told them, “I’m going fishing.” They said to him, “We’ll go with you, too.” They went out immediately and got into the boat, and that night they caught nothing.
4 Na asubuhi kulipokucha, Yesu alisimama ufukweni, nao wanafunzi hawakutambua kuwa alikuwa Yesu.
Now when the morning had come, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples didn’t know that it was Jesus.
5 Kisha Yesu akawambia, “Vijana, mna chochote cha kula?” Nao wakamjibu, “Hapana.”
Therefore Jesus asked them, “Children, you don’t have any fish, do you?” “No,” they answered Him.
6 Akawambia, “Shusheni wavu upande wa kuume wa mashua, nanyi mtapata kiasi.” Kwa hiyo wakashusha wavu nao hawakuweza kulivuta tena kwa sababu ya wingi wa cha samaki.
He told them, “Cast the net on the right-hand side of the boat, and you’ll find some.” So, they cast the net, and then they were unable to haul it in because of the great number of fish.
7 Basi yule mwanafunzi ambaye Yesu alimpenda akamwambia Petro, “Ni Bwana.” Naye Simon Petro aliposikia kuwa ni Bwana, akajifunga vazi lake (maana hakuwa amelivaa vizuri), kisha akajitupa baharini.
Therefore that disciple who Jesus sincerely loved told Peter, “It’s the Lord!” So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put his outer garment on (for he had taken it off), and threw himself into the sea.
8 Wale wanafunzi wengine wakaja kwenye mashua (kwani hawakuwa mbali na pwani, yapata mita mia moja kutoka ufukweni), nao walikuwa wakivuta zile nyavu zilizokuwa zimejaa samaki.
The other disciples came in the little boat, for they weren’t far from land, but about two hundred cubits away, dragging the net full of fish.
9 Walipofika ufukweni, waliona moto wa mkaa pale na juu yake kulikuwa na samaki pamoja na mkate.
So when they came ashore, they saw a charcoal fire already burning, with fish and bread placed on it.
10 Yesu akawambia, “Leteni baadhi ya samaki mliovua sasa hivi.”
Jesus told them, “Bring some of the fish that you just caught.”
11 Basi Simon Petro akapanda na kuukokota ule wavu uliokuwa umejaa samaki wakubwa, kiasi cha samaki 153; japo walikuwa wengi, ule wavu haukuchanika.
Simon Peter went up and dragged the net to land, full of one hundred fifty-three large fish. Although there were so many, the net wasn’t torn.
12 Yesu akawaambia, “Njoni mpate kifungua kinywa.” Hakuna hata mmoja wa wanfunzi aliyethubutu kumwuliza, “Wewe ni nani?” Walijua kuwa alikuwa ni Bwana.
Jesus said to them, “Come and eat breakfast.” Yet none of the disciples dared ask Him, “Who are You?” They knew that it was the Lord.
13 Yesu akaja, akachukua ule mkate, kisha akawapa, akafanya vivyo hivyo na kwa wale samaki.
Jesus then came and took the bread and gave it to them, and likewise the fish.
14 Hii ilikuwa mara ya tatu kwa Yesu kujidhihirisha kwa wanafunzi wake baada ya kufufuka toka wafu.
This is now the third time that Jesus showed Himself to His disciples after He was raised from the dead.
15 Baada ya kuwa wamefungua kinywa, Yesu akamwambia Simon Petro, “Simon mwana wa Yohana je, wanipenda mimi kuliko hawa?” Petro akajibu, “Ndiyo, Bwana; “Wewe wajua kuwa mimi nakupenda.” Yesu akamwambia, “Lisha wanakondoo wangu.”
When they had eaten breakfast, Jesus asked Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you sincerely love me more than these?” He answered, “Yes, Lord. You know that I love You.” “Feed my lambs,” Jesus replied.
16 Akamwambia mara ya pili, “Simon mwana wa Yona, je, wanipenda?” Petro akamwambia, “Ndiyo, Bwana; wewe wajua kuwa nakupenda. “Yesu akamwambia, “Chunga kondoo wangu.”
He asked him a second time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you sincerely love me?” He answered, “Yes, Lord. You know that I love You.” “Shepherd my sheep,” He replied.
17 Akamwambia tena mara ya tatu, “Simon, mwana wa Yohana, Je wanipenda?” Naye Petro alihuzunika kwa vile alivyomwambia mara ya tatu, “Je Wewe wanipenda?” Naye akamwambia, “Bwana, unajua yote; unajua kuwa nakupenda.” Yesu akamwambia, Lisha kondoo wangu.
He asked the third time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me?” Peter was grieved because He asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He answered, “Lord, You know everything. You know that I love You.” “Feed My sheep,” Jesus replied.
18 Amini, amini, nakuambia, ulipokuwa kijana ulizoea kuvaa nguo mwenyewe na kwenda kokote ulikotaka; lakini utakapokuwa mzee, utanyosha mikono yako, na mwingine atakuvalisha nguo na kukupeleka usikotaka kwenda.”
“Most assuredly, I tell you, when you were younger, 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.”
19 Yesu alisema haya ili kuonesha ni aina gani ya kifo ambacho Petro angemtukuza Mungu. Baada ya kuwa amesema haya, akamwambia Petro, “Nifuate.”
He said this to indicate what kind of death he would glorify God with. When He had said this, He told Peter, “Follow me!”
20 Petro aligeuka na kumwona yule mwanafunzi ambaye Yesu alimpenda akawafuata- Huyu ndiye aliyekuwa amajiegemeza kwenye kifua cha Yesu wakati wa chakula cha jioni na kumwuliza, “Bwana, ni nani atakayekusaliti?”
Then Peter, turning around, saw a disciple following. This was the disciple who Jesus sincerely loved, the one who had also leaned on Jesus’ breast at the supper and asked, “Lord, who is going to betray You?”
21 Petro alimwona na kisha akamwuliza Yesu, “Bwana, Huyu mtu atafanya nini?”
Peter therefore, seeing him, asked Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?”
22 Yesu akamjibu, “Kama nataka abaki mpaka nitakapokuja, hilo linakuhusu nini?” Nifuate.”
Jesus answered, “If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me!”
23 Kwa hiyo habari hii ikaenea miongoni mwa wale ndugu, kwamba mwanafunzi huyo hatakufa. Lakini Yesu hakumwambia Petro kuwa, mwanafunzi huyo hafi, “Kama nataka yeye abaki mpaka nitakapokuja yakuhusu nini?”
Because of this answer, the rumor spread among the brothers that this disciple wouldn’t die, but Jesus didn’t tell him that he wouldn’t die, but only, “If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?”
24 Huyu ndiye mwanafunzi atoaye ushuhuda wa mambo haya, na ndiye aliye andika mambo haya, na tunajua ya kuwa ushuhuda wake ni kweli.
This is the disciple who testifies about these things, and who wrote these things. We know that his testimony is true.
25 Kuna mambo mengine mengi ambayo Yesu aliyafanya. Kama kila moja lingeandikwa, nadhani kwamba ulimwengu wenyewe usingetosha kuviweka vitabu ambavyo vingeandikwa.
There are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that even the world itself couldn’t contain the books that would be written. Amen.
