¹After these things Jesus manifested himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. And he manifested [himself] thus.

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 who was of Cana of Galilee, and the [sons] of Zebedee, and two others 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 says to them, I go to fish. They say to him, We also come with thee. They went forth, and went on board, and that night took nothing.

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

⁴And early morn already breaking, Jesus stood on the shore; the disciples however did not know that it was Jesus.

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

⁵Jesus therefore says to them, Children, have ye anything to eat? They answered him, No.

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

⁶And he said to them, Cast the net at the right side of the ship and ye will find. They cast therefore, and they could no longer draw it, from 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.

⁷That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved says to Peter, It is the Lord. Simon Peter therefore, having heard that it was the Lord, girded his overcoat [on him] (for he was naked), and 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 the small boat, for they were not far from the land, but somewhere about two hundred cubits, dragging the net of 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.

⁹When therefore they went out on the land, they see a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread.

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

¹⁰Jesus says to them, Bring of the fishes which ye have now taken.

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

¹¹Simon Peter went up and drew the net to the land full of great fishes, a hundred and fifty-three; and though there were so many, the net was not rent.

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 says to them, Come [and] dine. But none of the disciples dared inquire of 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 comes and takes the bread and gives it to them, and the fish in like manner.

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

¹⁴This is already the third time that Jesus had been manifested to the disciples, being risen from among [the] dead.

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

¹⁵When therefore they had dined, Jesus says to Simon Peter, Simon, [son] of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He says to him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I am attached to thee. He says to 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 says to him again a second time, Simon, [son] of Jonas, lovest thou me? He says to him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I am attached to thee. He says to him, Shepherd 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 says to him the third time, Simon, [son] of Jonas, art thou attached to me? Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, Art thou attached to me? and said to him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I am attached to thee. Jesus says to 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 to thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst where thou desiredst; but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and bring thee where thou dost not desire.

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."

¹⁹But he said this signifying by what death he should glorify God. And having said this, he says to him, Follow me.

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

²⁰Peter, turning round, sees the disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also leaned at supper on his breast, and said, Lord, who is it that delivers thee up?

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, says to Jesus, Lord, and what [of] this [man]?

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

²²Jesus says to him, If I will that he abide until I come, what [is that] to thee? Follow thou me.

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

²³This word therefore went out among the brethren, That disciple does not die. And Jesus did not say to him, He does not die; but, If I will that he abide until 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 who bears witness concerning these things, and who has written these things; and we know that his witness 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 were written one by one, I suppose that not even the world itself would contain the books written.

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