¹After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself.

¹Baada ya hayo Yesu aliwatokea tena wanafunzi wake kando ya ziwa Tiberia. Aliwatokea hivi:

²There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples.

²Simoni Petro, Thoma (aitwaye Pacha), na Nathanieli mwenyeji wa Kana Galilaya, wana wawili wa Zebedayo na wanafunzi wake wengine wawili, walikuwa wote pamoja.

³Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.

³Simoni Petro aliwaambia, "Nakwenda kuvua samaki." Nao wakamwambia, "Nasi tutafuatana nawe." Basi, wakaenda, wakapanda mashua, lakini usiku huo hawakupata chochote.

⁴But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.

⁴Kulipoanza kupambazuka, Yesu alisimama kando ya ziwa, lakini wanafunzi hawakujua kwamba alikuwa yeye.

⁵Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No.

⁵Basi, Yesu akawauliza, "Vijana, hamjapata samaki wowote sio?" Wao wakamjibu, "La! Hatujapata kitu."

⁶And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.

⁶Yesu akawaambia, "Tupeni wavu upande wa kulia wa mashua nanyi mtapata samaki." Basi, wakatupa wavu lakini sasa hawakuweza kuuvuta tena kwa wingi wa samaki.

⁷Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher's coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea.

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.

⁸And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes.

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.

⁹As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.

⁹Walipofika nchi kavu waliona moto wa makaa umewashwa na juu yake pamewekwa samaki na mkate.

¹⁰Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught.

¹⁰Yesu akawaambia, "Leteni hapa baadhi ya samaki mliovua."

¹¹Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.

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.

¹²Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.

¹²Yesu akawaambia, "Njoni mkafungue kinywa." Hakuna hata mmoja wao aliyethubutu kumwuliza: "Wewe ni nani?" Maana walijua alikuwa Bwana.

¹³Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise.

¹³Yesu akaja, akatwaa mkate akawapa; akafanya vivyo hivyo na wale samaki.

¹⁴This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.

¹⁴Hii ilikuwa mara ya tatu Yesu kuwatokea wanafunzi wake baada ya kufufuka kutoka wafu.

¹⁵So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.

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."

¹⁶He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

¹⁶Kisha akamwambia mara ya pili, "Simoni mwana wa Yohane! Je, wanipenda?" Petro akamjibu, "Naam, Bwana; wajua kwamba nakupenda." Yesu akamwambia, "Tunza kondoo wangu."

¹⁷He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed 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!

¹⁸Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdest thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.

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."

¹⁹This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.

¹⁹(Kwa kusema hivyo, alionyesha jinsi Petro atakavyokufa na kumtukuza Mungu.) Kisha akamwambia, "Nifuate."

²⁰Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee?

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?")

²¹Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do?

²¹Basi, Petro alipomwona huyo akamwuliza Yesu, "Bwana, na huyu je?"

²²Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me.

²²Yesu akamjibu, "Kama nataka abaki mpaka nitakapokuja, yakuhusu nini? Wewe nifuate mimi."

²³Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?

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?"

²⁴This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.

²⁴Huyo ndiye yule aliyeshuhudia mambo haya na kuyaandika. Nasi twajua kwamba aliyoyasema ni kweli.

²⁵And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.

²⁵Kuna mambo mengine mengi aliyofanya Yesu, ambayo kama yangeandikwa yote, moja baada ya lingine, nadhani hata ulimwengu wenyewe usingetosha kuviweka vitabu ambavyo vingeandikwa.
