Johani 21
1 Shure kwezvinhu izvi Jesu wakazviratidzazve kuvadzidzi pagungwa reTibheriasi; uye wakazviratidza sezvizvi:
After that, Jesus showed himself to [us] disciples when we were at Tiberias Lake, [which is another name for Galilee Lake]. This is what happened:
2 Vaiva pamwe Simoni Petro, naTomasi anonzi Dhidhimo, naNatanieri waibva Kana yeGarirea, nevanakomana vaZebhedhi, nevamwe vaviri vevadzidzi vake.
Simon Peter, Thomas who was called {whom [we] called} The Twin, Nathaniel from Cana [town] in Galilee, my older brother and I, and two other disciples were together.
3 Simoni Petro akati kwavari: Ndoenda kunobata hove. Vakati kwaari: Nesu toenda newe. Vakabuda ndokupinda muchikepe pakarepo, asi usiku uhwo havana kubata chinhu.
Simon Peter said to us, “[I] am going to [try to] catch some fish.” We said, “We will go with you.” So we went down [to the lake] and got into the boat. But that night we caught nothing.
4 Zvino kwakati kwatova mambakwedza, Jesu akamira pamahombekombe, asi vadzidzi havana kuziva kuti ndiJesu.
Early the next morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but we did not know that it was Jesus.
5 Naizvozvo Jesu wakati kwavari: Vana vadiki, mune chero usavi here? Vakamupindura, vachiti: Kwete.
He called out to us, “My friends, you have not [caught] any fish, have you?” We answered, “You are correct, [we have not caught any].”
6 Ndokuti kwavari: Kandai mumbure kurutivi rwerudyi rwechikepe, uye muchawana. Naizvozvo vakakanda, zvino vakasazogonazve kuukweva nekuwanda kwehove.
He said to us, “Throw your net out from the right-hand side of the boat! Then you will find some!” We did that, and we caught so many fish [in the net] that we were unable to pull the net into [the boat]!
7 Naizvozvo mudzidzi uya Jesu waaida wakati kuna Petro: NdiIshe. Ipapo Simoni Petro anzwa kuti ndiIshe, wakamonera nguvo yake yekunze (nokuti wakange akashama), akazviwisira mugungwa.
[But I knew that it was Jesus], [so] I said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” Peter had taken off his cloak [while he was working], but as soon as he heard [me say] “It is the Lord!” he wrapped his cloak around himself and jumped into the water [and swam to shore].
8 Asi vamwe vadzidzi vakauya nechikepe chidiki, vachikweva mumbure une hove, nokuti vakange vasiri kure nenyika, asi mbimbi dzinenge mazana maviri.
The rest of us came [to the shore] in the boat, pulling the net full of fish. We were not far from shore, only about 100 yards/meters.
9 Zvino vakati vachisvika panyika, vakaona moto wemazimbe wakaiswapo, nehove yakaradzikwa pamusoro pawo, nechingwa.
When [we] got to the shore, we saw that there was a fire of burning coals there, with a [large] fish on the fire, and [some] buns.
10 Jesu akati kwavari: Uisai dzimwe dzehove dzamabata ikozvino.
Jesus said to us, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught!”
11 Simoni Petro akakwira, akakwevera mumbure panyika, uzere nehove huru, zana nemakumi mashanu nenhatu; uye kunyange dzaiva zhinji dzakadai, mumbure hauna kubvaruka.
Simon Peter got in [the boat] and dragged the net to the shore. It was full of large fish. There were 153 of them! But in spite of there being so many fish, the net was not torn.
12 Jesu akati kwavari: Uyai mudye. Asi hakuna kuvadzidzi wakatsunga kumubvunza kuti: Ndimwi ani imwi? vachiziva kuti ndiIshe.
Jesus said to us, “Come and eat some breakfast!” None of us dared to ask him, “Who are you?” because we knew that it was the Lord.
13 Naizvozvo Jesu wakauya, ndokutora chingwa, akavapa, nehove saizvozvo.
Jesus took the buns and gave them to us. He did the same with the fish.
14 Urwu rwatova rwechitatu Jesu achizviratidza kuvadzidzi vake, amutswa kubva kuvakafa.
That was the third time that Jesus appeared to [us] disciples after [God] caused him to become alive again after he died.
15 Zvino vakati vadya, Jesu akati kuna Simoni Petro: Simoni waJona, unondida kupfuura ava here? Akati kwaari: Hongu Ishe; imwi munoziva kuti ndinokudai. Akati kwaari: Chedza makwayana angu.
When we had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “John’s [son] Simon, do you love me more than these [other disciples do]?” Peter said to him, “Yes, Lord, you know that you are dear to me (OR, that I love you).” Jesus said, “Give to [those who belong to] me [what they need spiritually, like] [MET] [a shepherd provides] food for his lambs.”
16 Akati kwaarizve rwechipiri: Simoni waJona, unondida here? Akati kwaari: Hongu Ishe; imwi munoziva kuti ndinokudai. Akati kwaari: Fudza makwai angu.
Jesus said to him again, “John’s [son] Simon, do you love me?” He replied, “Yes, Lord, you know that you are dear to me (OR, that I love you).” Jesus said to him, “Take care of [those who belong to] me, [like] [MET] a [shepherd takes care of his] sheep.”
17 Akati kwaari rwechitatu: Simoni waJona, unondida here? Petro akarwadziwa nokuti wakati kwaari rwechitatu: Unondida here? Akati kwaari: Ishe, imwi munoziva zvinhu zvese; imwi munoziva kuti ndinokudai. Jesu akati kwaari: Chedza makwai angu.
Jesus said to him a third time, “John’s son Simon, am I really dear to you (OR, do you really love me)?” Peter was grieved because Jesus asked him this three times, [and because the third time he changed the question]. He said, “Lord, you know everything. You know that you are dear to me (OR, that I love you).” Jesus said, “Give to [those who belong to] me [what they need spiritually, as] [MET] [a shepherd provides] food for [his] sheep.
18 Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwauri: Pawaiva mudiki, waizvisunga bhande, uchifamba kwawaida; asi kana wakwegura, uchatandavadza maoko ako, uye umwe achakusunga bhande, achikuisa kwausingadi.
Now listen to this carefully: When you were young, you put your clothes on by yourself, and you went wherever you wanted to go. But when you are old, you will stretch out your arms, and someone will fasten them [with a rope] and will lead you to a place where you do not want to [go].”
19 Wakareva izvi, achiratidza kuti mafiro rudzii aaizokudza Mwari nawo. Zvino wakati areva izvi, akati kwaari: Nditevere.
Jesus said this to indicate how Peter would die ([violently/on a cross]) in order to honor God. Then Jesus said to him, “Keep being my faithful disciple [until you die].”
20 Petro achitendeuka wakaona mudzidzi Jesu waaida achitevera, ndiyewo wakazendamira pachifuva chake pachirairo, akati: Ishe, ndiani achakutengesai?
Peter turned around and saw that I was following them. I was the one who leaned close to Jesus during the [Passover] meal and said, “Lord, who is going to enable your enemies to seize you?”
21 Petro wakati achimuona akati kuna Jesu: Ishe, ko uyu?
When Peter saw me, he asked, “Lord, what [is going to happen] to him?”
22 Jesu akati kwaari: Kana ndikada kuti agare kusvikira ndichiuya, unei nazvo? Nditevere iwe.
Jesus said to him, “If I want him to remain [alive] until I return, (that is not your concern!/what is that to you?) [RHQ] You be my [faithful] disciple!”
23 Zvino shoko iri rakabudira pakati pehama, kuti mudzidzi uyu haazofi; asi Jesu haana kureva kwaari, kuti haazofi; asi wakati: Kana ndichida kuti agare kusvikira ndichiuya, unei nazvo?
Some of the other believers heard [a report of] what Jesus had said about me, and [they thought that Jesus meant] that I would not die. But Jesus did not say that I would not die. He said only, “If I want him to remain [alive] until I return, (that is not your concern!/what is that to you?) [RHQ]”
24 Ndiyeyu mudzidzi anopupura zvezvinhu izvi, nekunyora zvinhu izvi; uye tinoziva kuti uchapupu hwake ichokwadi.
[I, John], am the disciple who has seen all these things and I have written them down. My [fellow apostles] and I know that what [I have written] is true.
25 Uyewo zvimwe zvizhinji zviriko Jesu zvaakaita; kana zvainyorwa chimwe nechimwe, ndinofunga kuti kunyange nyika pachayo haizaiva nenzvimbo yemabhuku anganyorwa. Amen.
Jesus did many other things. If they would [all] be written {If people would write them [all]} down [in detail], I suppose that the whole world would not have enough space [HYP] to contain the books that would be written {that they would write} [about what he did].
