¹After these things, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself this way.

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

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

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 said to them, “I’m going fishing.” They told him, “We are also coming with you.” They immediately went out, and entered into the boat. 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 day had already come, Jesus stood on the beach, yet the disciples didn’t know that it was Jesus.

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

⁵Jesus therefore said to them, “Children, have you anything to eat?” They answered him, “No.”

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

⁶He 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.

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 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.

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.

⁸But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits 200 cubits is about 100 yards or about 91 meters away), dragging the net full of fish.

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.

⁹So when they got out on the land, they saw 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 said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.”

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

¹¹Simon 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 wasn’t torn.

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 said to them, “Come and eat breakfast.” None of the disciples dared inquire of him, “Who are you?” knowing that it was the Lord.

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

¹³Then Jesus came and took the bread, gave it to them, and the fish likewise.

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

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

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

¹⁵So when they had eaten their breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you.” He said 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 said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you.” He said to him, “Tend 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 said to him the third time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you have affection for me?” Peter was grieved because he asked him the third time, “Do you have affection for me?” He said to him, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I have affection for you.” Jesus said 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!

¹⁸ Most certainly 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 don’t want to go.”

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."

¹⁹Now he said this, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. When he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me.”

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

²⁰Then Peter, turning around, saw a disciple following. This was the disciple whom Jesus sincerely loved, the one who had also leaned on Jesus’ breast at the supper and asked, “Lord, who is going to betray You?”

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, said to Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?”

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

²²Jesus said to him, “If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you? You follow me.”

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

²³This saying therefore went out among the brothers The word for “brothers” here may be also correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” , that this disciple wouldn’t die. Yet Jesus didn’t say to him that he wouldn’t die, but, “If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you?”

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 testifies about these things, and wrote these things. We know that his witness is true.

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

²⁵There are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they would all be written, I suppose that even the world itself wouldn’t have room for the books that would be written.

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