Yohana 21
1 Baada ya hayo Yesu aliwatokea tena wanafunzi wake kando ya ziwa Tiberia. Aliwatokea hivi:
After these things, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself this way.
2 Simoni Petro, Thoma (aitwaye Pacha), na Nathanieli mwenyeji wa Kana Galilaya, wana wawili wa Zebedayo na wanafunzi wake wengine wawili, walikuwa wote pamoja.
Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together.
3 Simoni Petro aliwaambia, “Nakwenda kuvua samaki.” Nao wakamwambia, “Nasi tutafuatana nawe.” Basi, wakaenda, wakapanda mashua, lakini usiku huo hawakupata chochote.
Simon Peter said to them, "I'm going fishing." They told him, "We are also coming with you." They went out, and entered into the boat. That night, they caught nothing.
4 Kulipoanza kupambazuka, Yesu alisimama kando ya ziwa, lakini wanafunzi hawakujua kwamba alikuwa yeye.
But when day had already come, Jesus stood on the beach, yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.
5 Basi, Yesu akawauliza, “Vijana, hamjapata samaki wowote sio?” Wao wakamjibu, “La! Hatujapata kitu.”
Jesus therefore said to them, "Children, have you anything to eat?" They answered him, "No."
6 Yesu akawaambia, “Tupeni wavu upande wa kulia wa mashua nanyi mtapata samaki.” Basi, wakatupa wavu lakini sasa hawakuweza kuuvuta tena kwa wingi wa samaki.
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.
7 Hapo yule mwanafunzi aliyependwa na Yesu akamwambia Petro, “Ni Bwana!” Simoni Petro aliposikia ya kuwa ni Bwana, akajifunga vazi lake (maana hakuwa amelivaa), akarukia majini.
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 him (for he was naked), and threw himself into the sea.
8 Lakini wale wanafunzi wengine walikuja pwani kwa mashua huku wanauvuta wavu uliojaa samaki; hawakuwa mbali na nchi kavu, ila walikuwa yapata mita mia moja kutoka ukingoni.
But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from the land, but about one hundred yards away), dragging the net full of fish.
9 Walipofika nchi kavu waliona moto wa makaa umewashwa na juu yake pamewekwa samaki na mkate.
So when they got out on the land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish placed on it, and bread.
10 Yesu akawaambia, “Leteni hapa baadhi ya samaki mliovua.”
Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish which you have just caught."
11 Basi, Simoni Petro akapanda mashuani, akavuta hadi nchi kavu ule wavu uliokuwa umejaa samaki wakubwa mia moja na hamsini na watatu. Na ingawa walikuwa wengi hivyo wavu haukukatika.
Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land, full of great fish, one hundred fifty-three; and even though there were so many, the net was not torn.
12 Yesu akawaambia, “Njoni mkafungue kinywa.” Hakuna hata mmoja wao aliyethubutu kumwuliza: “Wewe ni nani?” Maana walijua alikuwa Bwana.
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.
13 Yesu akaja, akatwaa mkate akawapa; akafanya vivyo hivyo na wale samaki.
Then Jesus came and took the bread, gave it to them, and the fish likewise.
14 Hii ilikuwa mara ya tatu Yesu kuwatokea wanafunzi wake baada ya kufufuka kutoka wafu.
This is now the third time that Jesus was revealed to his disciples, after he had risen from the dead.
15 Walipokwisha kula, Yesu alimwuliza Simoni Petro, “Simoni, mwana wa Yohane! Je, wanipenda mimi zaidi kuliko hawa?” Naye akajibu, “Naam, Bwana; wajua kwamba mimi nakupenda.” Yesu akamwambia, “Tunza wana kondoo wangu.”
So when they had eaten their breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs."
16 Kisha akamwambia mara ya pili, “Simoni mwana wa Yohane! Je, wanipenda?” Petro akamjibu, “Naam, Bwana; wajua kwamba nakupenda.” Yesu akamwambia, “Tunza kondoo wangu.”
He said to him again a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He said to him, "Tend my sheep."
17 Akamwuliza mara ya tatu, “Simoni mwana wa Yohane! Je, wanipenda?” Hapo Petro akahuzunika kwa sababu alimwuliza mara ya tatu: “Wanipenda?” akamwambia, “Bwana, wewe wajua yote; wewe wajua kwamba mimi nakupenda.” Yesu akamwambia, “Tunza kondoo wangu!
He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was grieved because he asked him the third time, "Do you love me?" And he said to him, "Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep.
18 Kweli nakwambia, ulipokuwa kijana ulizoea kujifunga mshipi na kwenda kokote ulikotaka. Lakini utakapokuwa mzee utanyosha mikono yako, na mtu mwingine atakufunga na kukupeleka usikopenda kwenda.”
Truly 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 do not want to go."
19 (Kwa kusema hivyo, alionyesha jinsi Petro atakavyokufa na kumtukuza Mungu.) Kisha akamwambia, “Nifuate.”
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."
20 Hapo Petro akageuka, akamwona yule mwanafunzi ambaye Yesu alimpenda, anafuata (Huyu mwanafunzi ndiye yule ambaye wakati wa chakula cha jioni, alikaa karibu sana na Yesu na kumwuliza: “Bwana ni nani atakayekusaliti?”)
Then Peter, turning around, saw a disciple following. This was the disciple whom Jesus sincerely loved, the one who had also leaned on Jesus' chest at the evening meal and asked, "Lord, who is going to betray You?"
21 Basi, Petro alipomwona huyo akamwuliza Yesu, “Bwana, na huyu je?”
Peter seeing him, said to Jesus, "Lord, what about this man?"
22 Yesu akamjibu, “Kama nataka abaki mpaka nitakapokuja, yakuhusu nini? Wewe nifuate mimi.”
Jesus said to him, "If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you? You follow me."
23 Basi, habari hiyo ikaenea miongoni mwa wale ndugu kwamba mwanafunzi huyo hafi. Lakini Yesu hakumwambia kwamba mwanafunzi huyo hafi, ila, “Kama nataka abaki mpaka nitakapokuja, yakuhusu nini?”
This saying therefore went out among the brothers, that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but, "If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you?"
24 Huyo ndiye yule aliyeshuhudia mambo haya na kuyaandika. Nasi twajua kwamba aliyoyasema ni kweli.
This is the disciple who testifies about these things, and wrote these things. We know that his witness is true.
25 Kuna mambo mengine mengi aliyofanya Yesu, ambayo kama yangeandikwa yote, moja baada ya lingine, nadhani hata ulimwengu wenyewe usingetosha kuviweka vitabu ambavyo vingeandikwa.
There are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they would all be written, I suppose that even the world itself would not have room for the books that would be written.
