Yohana 21
Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
Berean Standard Bible
1Baada ya hayo Yesu aliwatokea tena wanafunzi wake kando ya ziwa Tiberia. Aliwatokea hivi:
1Later, by the Sea of Tiberias, Jesus again revealed Himself to the disciples. He made Himself known in this way:
2Simoni Petro, Thoma (aitwaye Pacha), na Nathanieli mwenyeji wa Kana Galilaya, wana wawili wa Zebedayo na wanafunzi wake wengine wawili, walikuwa wote pamoja.
2Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together.
3Simoni Petro aliwaambia, “Nakwenda kuvua samaki.” Nao wakamwambia, “Nasi tutafuatana nawe.” Basi, wakaenda, wakapanda mashua, lakini usiku huo hawakupata chochote.
3Simon Peter told them, “I am going fishing.” “We will go with you,” they said. So they went out and got into the boat, but caught nothing that night.
4Kulipoanza kupambazuka, Yesu alisimama kando ya ziwa, lakini wanafunzi hawakujua kwamba alikuwa yeye.
4Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not recognize that it was Jesus.
5Basi, Yesu akawauliza, “Vijana, hamjapata samaki wowote sio?” Wao wakamjibu, “La! Hatujapata kitu.”
5So He called out to them, “Children, do you have any fish?” “No,” they answered.
6Yesu akawaambia, “Tupeni wavu upande wa kulia wa mashua nanyi mtapata samaki.” Basi, wakatupa wavu lakini sasa hawakuweza kuuvuta tena kwa wingi wa samaki.
6He told them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it there, and they were unable to haul it in because of the great number of fish.
7Hapo yule mwanafunzi aliyependwa na Yesu akamwambia Petro, “Ni Bwana!” Simoni Petro aliposikia ya kuwa ni Bwana, akajifunga vazi lake (maana hakuwa amelivaa), akarukia majini.
7Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” As soon as Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he had removed it) and jumped into the sea.
8Lakini 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.
8The other disciples came ashore in the boat. They dragged in the net full of fish, for they were not far from land, only about a hundred yards.
9Walipofika nchi kavu waliona moto wa makaa umewashwa na juu yake pamewekwa samaki na mkate.
9When they landed, they saw a charcoal fire there with fish on it, and some bread.
10Yesu akawaambia, “Leteni hapa baadhi ya samaki mliovua.”
10Jesus told them, “Bring some of the fish you have just caught.”
11Basi, 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.
11So Simon Peter went aboard and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many, the net was not torn.
12Yesu akawaambia, “Njoni mkafungue kinywa.” Hakuna hata mmoja wao aliyethubutu kumwuliza: “Wewe ni nani?” Maana walijua alikuwa Bwana.
12“Come, have breakfast,” Jesus said to them. None of the disciples dared to ask Him, “Who are You?” They knew it was the Lord.
13Yesu akaja, akatwaa mkate akawapa; akafanya vivyo hivyo na wale samaki.
13Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and He did the same with the fish.
14Hii ilikuwa mara ya tatu Yesu kuwatokea wanafunzi wake baada ya kufufuka kutoka wafu.
14This was now the third time that Jesus appeared to the disciples after He was raised from the dead.
15Walipokwisha 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.”
15When they had finished eating, Jesus asked Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love Me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he answered, “You know I love You.” Jesus replied, “Feed My lambs.”
16Kisha akamwambia mara ya pili, “Simoni mwana wa Yohane! Je, wanipenda?” Petro akamjibu, “Naam, Bwana; wajua kwamba nakupenda.” Yesu akamwambia, “Tunza kondoo wangu.”
16Jesus asked a second time, “Simon son of John, do you love Me?” “Yes, Lord,” he answered, “You know I love You.” Jesus told him, “Shepherd My sheep.”
17Akamwuliza 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!
17Jesus asked a third time, “Simon son of John, do you love Me?” Peter was deeply hurt that Jesus had asked him a third time, “Do you love Me?” “Lord, You know all things,” he replied. “You know I love You.” Jesus said to him, “Feed My sheep.
18Kweli nakwambia, ulipokuwa kijana ulizoea kujifunga mshipi na kwenda kokote ulikotaka. Lakini utakapokuwa mzee utanyosha mikono yako, na mtu mwingine atakufunga na kukupeleka usikopenda kwenda.”
18Truly, truly, I tell you, when you were young, you dressed yourself and walked where you wanted; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.”
19(Kwa kusema hivyo, alionyesha jinsi Petro atakavyokufa na kumtukuza Mungu.) Kisha akamwambia, “Nifuate.”
19Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. And after He had said this, He told him, “Follow Me.”
20Hapo 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?”)
20Peter turned and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them. He was the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper to ask, “Lord, who is going to betray You?”
21Basi, Petro alipomwona huyo akamwuliza Yesu, “Bwana, na huyu je?”
21When Peter saw him, he asked, “Lord, what about him?”
22Yesu akamjibu, “Kama nataka abaki mpaka nitakapokuja, yakuhusu nini? Wewe nifuate mimi.”
22Jesus answered, “If I want him to remain until I return, what is that to you? You follow Me!”
23Basi, 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?”
23Because of this, the rumor spread among the brothers that this disciple would not die. However, Jesus did not say that he would not die, but only, “If I want him to remain until I return, what is that to you?”
24Huyo ndiye yule aliyeshuhudia mambo haya na kuyaandika. Nasi twajua kwamba aliyoyasema ni kweli.
24This is the disciple who testifies to these things and who has written them down. And we know that his testimony is true.
25Kuna mambo mengine mengi aliyofanya Yesu, ambayo kama yangeandikwa yote, moja baada ya lingine, nadhani hata ulimwengu wenyewe usingetosha kuviweka vitabu ambavyo vingeandikwa.
25There are many more things that Jesus did. If all of them were written down, I suppose that not even the world itself would have space for the books that would be written.
