Johani 21

¹Shure kwaizvozvo Jesu wakazviratidza zve kuvadzidzi vake pagungwa reTiberiasi; akazviratidza kudai:After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself.

²VanaSimoni Petro, naTomasi, wainzi Didimo, naNatanieri, weKana yeGarirea, navanakomana vaZebhedhi, navamwe vaviri vavadzidzi vake, vakanga vari pamwe chete.There 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.

³Simoni Petro akati kwavari: Ndondobata hove. Vakati kwaari: Nesu tinoenda vo newe. Vakabuda, vakapinda mugwa; pakarepo asi vusiku ubwo havana-kubata chinhu.Simon 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.

⁴Zvino kwakati kwoedza, Jesu akamira pamhenderekedzo, asi vadzidzi vakanga vasingazivi kuti ndiJesu.But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.

⁵Zvino Jesu akati kwavari: Vana, munechisevo here? Vakamupindura, vachiti: Kwete.Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No.

⁶Akati kwavari: Kandai rutava kurutivi rworudyi rwegwa mugowana. Ipapo vakakanda vakasagona zvino kurukweva nokuwanda kwehove.And 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.

⁷Zvino mudzidzi uya, waidikanwa naJesu, akati kunaPetro NdiShe. Ipapo Simoni Petro wakati achinzwa kuti ndiShe, akasunga nguvo yake, nokuti wakanga asina, akazviwisira mugungwa.Therefore 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.

⁸Asi vamwe vadzidzi vakavuya nekagwa, vachikweva rutava runehove, nokuti vakanga vasi kure nenyika asi makubiti anenge mazana maviri.*And 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.

⁹Zvino vakati vasvika panyika, vakavona moto wamazimbe waveswa, nehove yakaiswa pamusoro pawo, nechingwa.As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.

¹⁰Jesu akati kwavari: Vuyai nedzimwe hove dzamakabata zvino.Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught.

¹¹Simoni akakwira mugwa, akakwevera rutava panyika, rwakanga ruzere nehove huru, zana namakumi mashanu nenhatu; asi kunyange dzaiva zhinji dzikadai, rutava haruna kubvaruka.Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, and hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.

¹²Jesu akati kwavari: Vuyai musvusvure. Kwakanga kusinomumwe wavadzidzi vake wakatsunga kumubvunza kuti: Ndimi aniko? Vachiziva kuti ndiyeShe.Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.

¹³Zvino Jesu akaenda, akatora chingwa akavapa, nehove vo saizvozvo.Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise.

¹⁴Urwu rwaiva rwechitatu, Jesu rwaakazviratidza kuvadzidzi vake amuka kuvakafa.This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.

¹⁵Zvino vakati vasvusvura, Jesu akati kunaSimoni Petro: Simoni, mwanakomana waJona, unorudo neni kupfuvura ava here? Akati kwaari: Hongu, Ishe; munoziva kuti ndinokudai. Jesu akati kwaari: Fudza makwaiana angu,So 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.

¹⁶Akati kwaaari zve rwechipiri:Simoni mwanakomana waJona unorudo neni here? akati kwaari Hongu,, Ishe; munoziva kuti ndinokudai. Jesu akati kwaari: Chengeta makwai angu.He 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.

¹⁷Akati kwaari rwechitatu: Simoni, mwanakomana waJona; Unondida here? Petro akarwadziwa moyo, nokuti wakati kwaari rwechitatu: Unondida here? Akati kwaari: Ishe, munoziva zvose; munoziva kuti ndinokudai. Jesu akati kwaari: Fudza makwai angu.He 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.

¹⁸Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwauri: Uchiri jaya, wa izvisunga chivuno, uchifamba kwawaida; asi kana wakwegura, uchatambanudza mavoko ako, mumwe uchakusunga chivuno, achikuisa kwausingadi.Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst 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.

¹⁹Wakareva izvozvo, achifananidzira kufa kwaaizokudza Mwari nako. Zvino wakati areva izvozvo, akati kwaari: Nditevere.This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.

²⁰Petro akatendevuka, akavona uya mudzidzi, waidikanwa naJesu, achitevera; ndiye vo wakasendamira pachifuva chake pachirayiro, achiti: Ishe, ndianiko uchakupandukirai?Then 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?

²¹Zvino Petro wakati achimuvona, akati kunaJesu: Ishe ko uyu uchaitweiko?Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do?

²²Jesu akati kwaari: Kana ndikada kuti agare kusvikira ndichivuya, uneiko nazvo iwe? Unditevere iwe.Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me.

²³Zvino shoko iro rakapararira pakati pehama, kuti mudzidzi uyu haangazofi. Asi Jesu haana kureva kwaari, kuti haangazofi, asi kuti: Kana ndikada kuti agare kusvikira ndichivuya, uneiko nazvo iwe?Then 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?

²⁴Ndiyoyu mudzidzi unopupura izvozvi, wakazvinyora vo; tinoziva kuti kupupura kwake ndokwazvokwadi.This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.

²⁵Zvimwe zvizhinji zviri’ko, zvakaitwa vo naJesu; kana zvainyorwa chimwe nechimwe, ndinoti kunyange nenyika yose haingaringani bhuku dzinganyorwa. Amen.And 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.
