< Yohana 21 >

1 Baada ya hayo Yesu aliwatokea tena wanafunzi wake kando ya ziwa Tiberia. Aliwatokea hivi:
After these things Jesus shewed Himself again to the disciples near the sea of Tiberias; and He shewed Himself thus.
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 and Thomas called Didymus, and 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.
and Simon Peter saith unto them, I will go a fishing, and they say to him, We will also go with thee. So they went out, and forthwith entered into a ship: and that night they caught nothing.
4 Kulipoanza kupambazuka, Yesu alisimama kando ya ziwa, lakini wanafunzi hawakujua kwamba alikuwa yeye.
But when it was morning, Jesus stood on the shore: though the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.
5 Basi, Yesu akawauliza, “Vijana, hamjapata samaki wowote sio?” Wao wakamjibu, “La! Hatujapata kitu.”
Then Jesus saith unto them, Young men, have ye any thing to eat?
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.
They answered Him, No. And He said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye will find some. So they cast it, and they were not able to draw it up by reason of the multitude of fishes.
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.
Whereupon that disciple whom Jesus loved, saith to Peter, "It is the Lord." Then Simon Peter perceiving that it was the Lord, girded on his coat, (for he was stript, ) 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.
and the other disciples came in the boat dragging the net of fishes; for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits.
9 Walipofika nchi kavu waliona moto wa makaa umewashwa na juu yake pamewekwa samaki na mkate.
And as soon as they were come to land, they saw a fire laid, and fish upon it, and bread.
10 Yesu akawaambia, “Leteni hapa baadhi ya samaki mliovua.”
And Jesus saith unto them, Bring some of the fish, which ye have now 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.
Then Simon Peter went aboard, and drew the net to land, full of large fishes, an hundred fifty-three: and though there were so many, the net was not broken.
12 Yesu akawaambia, “Njoni mkafungue kinywa.” Hakuna hata mmoja wao aliyethubutu kumwuliza: “Wewe ni nani?” Maana walijua alikuwa Bwana.
Jesus saith unto them, Come, and dine. And none of the disciples presumed to ask Him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.
13 Yesu akaja, akatwaa mkate akawapa; akafanya vivyo hivyo na wale samaki.
Jesus therefore cometh and taketh bread, and giveth it to them, and fish likewise.
14 Hii ilikuwa mara ya tatu Yesu kuwatokea wanafunzi wake baada ya kufufuka kutoka wafu.
This was the third time that Jesus shewed Himself to a number of his disciples, after He was 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.”
Now when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon son of Jonas, dost thou love me more than these? He saith unto Him, Yes, Lord, Thou knowest that I love Thee. He saith unto 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 saith to him again the second time, Simon son of Jonas, dost thou love me? He saith unto Him, Yes, Lord, Thou knowest that I love Thee.
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 saith unto him, Feed my sheep. He saith unto him the third time, Simon son of Jonas, dost thou love me? Peter was grieved, that He said to him the third time, Dost thou love me? And he said unto Him, Lord, Thou knowest all things, Thou knowest that I love Thee. Jesus saith unto 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.”
Verily, verily I say unto thee, When thou wast younger, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst about where thou wouldest: but when thou art old, thou shalt stretch out thine hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee where thou wouldest not.
19 (Kwa kusema hivyo, alionyesha jinsi Petro atakavyokufa na kumtukuza Mungu.) Kisha akamwambia, “Nifuate.”
This He said, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when He had said this, He saith unto 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?”)
And Peter turning about seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved, (and who leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, who is he that will betray Thee?) following them;
21 Basi, Petro alipomwona huyo akamwuliza Yesu, “Bwana, na huyu je?”
and upon seeing him, Peter saith to Jesus, Lord, what shall this man do?
22 Yesu akamjibu, “Kama nataka abaki mpaka nitakapokuja, yakuhusu nini? Wewe nifuate mimi.”
Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he stay till I come, what is it to thee? Follow thou 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 rumor therefore was spread among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: though Jesus did not say that he should not die, but---if I will that he stay till I come, what is that to thee?
24 Huyo ndiye yule aliyeshuhudia mambo haya na kuyaandika. Nasi twajua kwamba aliyoyasema ni kweli.
This is the disciple that testifieth of these things, and that writeth them: and we know that his testimony 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 that Jesus did, which if they were to be described particularly, I suppose that the whole world could not contain the books that would be written concerning them. Amen.
