KAPTINA XXI.
1 Mbaskëndai Iesuiu diftoi vetëvetëhenë prap dishepujvet mbë det të Tiberiadësë; edhe e diftoi kështu:
2 Ishinë bashkë Simon Pietri, edhe Thomai qi thohei Binjok, edhe Nathanaeli qi ishte prei Kanasë Galilesë, edhe të bijt’ e Zebedeut, edhe dy të tierë prei dishepujvet ati.
3 Simon Pietri u thot’ atyne: Vete me gjueitunë për peshk. I thonë: Vim’ edhe ne bashkë me tyi. Duelnë edhe hypnë përnjiherë ndë lundrët; edhe ate natë nukë zunë asgja.
4 Por tashti si u ba mëngjesie, Iesui ndenji ndë buzë të detit, por dishepujtë nuk’ e ngjofnë se ashtë Iesui.
5 Iesui pra u thot’ atyne: Dielmthit’ e mi , mos keni ndonji bylmet për me ngranë ? Iu përgjeqnë: Jo.
6 Edhe ai u tha atyne: Hidhni rrietënë mb’anë të diathtë të lundrësë, edhe keni me gjetunë. E hothnë pra, edhe s’muftnë ma me e tërhekunë prei shumice të peshqvet.
7 Ai dishepulli pra, qi donte Iesui, i thotë Pietrit: Ashtë Zoti. Edhe Simoni kur ndëgjoi se ashtë Zoti, u mpështuell me petkunë (sepse ishte lakuriq), edhe hodhi vetëvetëhenë ndë det.
8 Edhe dishepujt’ e tierë erthnë me lundrëzënë (sepse nuk’ ishinë lark tokësë, por afër dy qind kutë), tue tërhekunë rrietën’ e peshqvet.
9 Si sdrypnë pra mbë tokët, shofinë ku ishte ndezunë nji ziarrm, edhe vumë mbi ate peshq edhe bukë.
10 Iesuiu thot’ atyne: Bini prei atyne peshqvet qi zutë tashti.
11 Simon Pietri hypi, edhe tërhoqi rrietënë mbi tokë plot me peshq të mëdhej, nji qind e pesë-dhet’ e tre; edhe ndonëse ishinë kaqi, nuk’ u shqye rrieta.
12 Iesui u thot atyne: Ejani me ngranë drekë. Por as ndonji prei dishepujvet nukë kuxonte me e pyetunë: Cilli je ti? Sepse e dijshinë se ashtë Zoti.
13 Vien pra Iesui, edhe merr bukënë, e ua nep, edhe peshkunë por kështu.
14 Këjo asht’ e treta herë qi u diftue tashti Iesui mbë dishepujt’ e vet, mbassi u ngjall prei së vdekunish.
15 Mbassi hangrën drekë pra, Iesui i thotë Simon Pietrit: Simon i bir’ i Ionait, a më do ma tepërë se këta? I thotë: Po, Zot; ti e di se të due. I thotë: Kullot qingjat’ e mi.
16 I thotë prap për së dyti: Simon i bir’ i Ionait, a më do? I thotë: Po, Zot; ti e di se të due. I thotë: Bahu bariu i dhenvet mia.
17 I thotë për së treti: Simon i bir’ i Ionait, a më do? U idhënue Pietri, se i tha për së treti - A më do? Edhe i tha: Zot, ti di të gjitha; ti e ngjef se të due. Iesui i thotë: Kullot dhent’ e mia.
18 Me të vërtet, me të vërtet po të thom: Kur ishie ti ma i ri, ngjishie vetëvetëhenë, edhe ecëje ku doje, por kur të plakesh, ke me shtrimë duert’ e tua, edhe tietër kushi ka me të ngjeshunë, edhe ka me të prum’ atie ku nukë do.
19 Edhe tha këte, tue shënuem me çfarë vdeke kishte me lavduem Perëndinë. Edhe si tha këte, i thotë: Merrmë mbrapa.
20 Edhe Pietriu këthye, e shef ate dishepullinë qi donte Iesui tue i votunë mbrapa, i cilli i pat ran’ edhe mbë krahanuer t’ati ndë darkët, e i tha: Zot, cilli asht’ ai qi ka me të trathtuem?
21 Pietri kur pa këte, i thotë Iesuit: Zot, por kyi qish do ?
22 Iesui i thotë: Ndë daça me mbetun’ ai qysh sa të vij, ti qish ke ? Ti merrmë mbrapa.
23 Duel pra këjo fjalë ndë vëllazënit, se ai dishepulli nukë vdes, por Iesui nuk’ i tha, se: Nukë vdes; por: Ndë daça me mbetun’ ai qysh sa të vij, ti qish ke?
24 Kyi asht’ ai dishepulli qi deshmon për këto, edhe qi shkroi këto; edhe e dimë, se deshmia e ati asht’ e vërtetë.
25 Jan’ edhe shumë të tiera, sa bani Iesui, të cillatë ndë shkruheshinë nji për nji, kujtoj se as ajo bota nukë do të nxinte libratë qi kishinë me u shkruem. Amen.
1 After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself . 2 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. 3 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. 4 But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. 5 Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No. 6 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. 7 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. 8 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. 9 As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread. 10 Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught. 11 Simon 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. 12 Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord. 13 Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise. 14 This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.
15 ¶ 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. 16 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. 17 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. 18 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. 19 This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me. 20 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? 21 Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do ? 22 Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me. 23 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? 24 This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true. 25 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.
