John 21
1 After these things, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself this way.
Emegbe la, Yesu gaɖe eɖokui fia eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo le Tiberias Ƒu la to.
2 Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together.
Eva dzɔ be, Simɔn Petro, Toma (si wogayɔna be Didymus), Nataniel si tso Kana le Galilea kple Zebedeo ƒe viwo hekpe ɖe nusrɔ̃la eve bubu ŋu wonɔ ƒuta.
3 Simon 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.
Simɔn Petro gblɔ be, “Meyina tɔƒo.” Wogblɔ be, “Míayi kpli wò.” Ale woyi ɖage ɖe tɔdziʋu la me, gake womeɖe lã aɖeke le zã ma me o.
4 But when day had already come, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples didn’t know that it was Jesus.
Le ŋdi me la, Yesu nɔ tsitre ɖe ƒua ta, gake nusrɔ̃lawo menya be Yesue nye ema o.
5 Jesus therefore said to them, “Children, have you anything to eat?” They answered him, “No.”
Yesu yɔ wo be, “Xɔ̃nyewo, mieɖe lã aɖeke oa?” Woɖo eŋu be, “Ao, míeɖe naneke o.”
6 He 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.
Egblɔ na wo be, “Mida miaƒe ɖɔ la ɖe ʋua ƒe nuɖusime lɔƒo, eye miaɖe lã.” Esi woda ɖɔa la, woɖe lã fũu ale gbegbe be womete ŋu he ɖɔ la o.
7 That 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 himself (for he was naked), and threw himself into the sea.
Ale nusrɔ̃la si Yesu lɔ̃na vevie la gblɔ na Simɔn Petro be, “Kpɔ ɖa, Aƒetɔ lae!” Esi Petro se nya sia teti ko la, etsɔ eƒe awu do kaba (elabena eɖee), eye wòti kpo dze tɔ la me.
8 But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits away), dragging the net full of fish.
Nusrɔ̃la mamlɛawo nɔ ʋu la me dze eyome, eye wohe ɖɔ si yɔ fũu kple lã la, elabena gota medidi tso wo gbɔ o; anɔ abe mita alafa ɖeka ko ene.
9 So when they got out on the land, they saw a fire of coals there, with fish and bread laid on it.
Esi woɖi go la, wokpɔ be wodo dzo ɖe afi ma, nɔ lã aɖewo mem, eye abolo hã kpe ɖe eŋu.
10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.”
Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Mitsɔ lã si mieɖe fifia la ƒe ɖe vɛ.”
11 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land, full of one hundred fifty-three great fish. Even though there were so many, the net wasn’t torn.
Simɔn Petro ge ɖe ʋu la me, eye wòkpe ɖe wo ŋu wohe ɖɔ la va gota. Lã gãwo yɔ ɖɔ la fũu eye esi woxlẽ wo la, wonɔ alafa ɖeka blaatɔ̃-vɔ-etɔ̃ gake ɖɔ la mevuvu o.
12 Jesus said to them, “Come and eat breakfast!” None of the disciples dared inquire of him, “Who are you?” knowing that it was the Lord.
Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Miva ɖu nu.” Ke wo dometɔ aɖeke mete ŋu biae be, “Ame ka nènye” o. Wonya be Aƒetɔ lae.
13 Then Jesus came and took the bread, gave it to them, and the fish likewise.
Yesu va tsɔ abolo la kple lã la na wo.
14 This is now the third time that Jesus was revealed to his disciples after he had risen from the dead.
Esia nye zi etɔ̃lia Yesu ɖe eɖokui fia nusrɔ̃lawo esi wòfɔ tso ame kukuwo dome.
15 So 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.”
Esi woɖu nua vɔ la, Yesu bia Simɔn Petro be, “Simɔn, Yohanes ƒe vi, èlɔ̃m wu ame siawoa?” Petro ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Ɛ̃, Aƒetɔ, ènya be melɔ̃ ye.” Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Ekema nyi nye alẽawo.”
16 He 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.”
Yesu gabiae be, “Simɔn, Yohanes ƒe vi, elɔ̃m vavã?” Petro ɖo eŋu be, “Ɛ̃, Aƒetɔ, ènya be melɔ̃ ye.” Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Ekema lé be na nye alẽawo.”
17 He 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.
Yesu gabiae zi etɔ̃lia be, “Simɔn, Yohanes ƒe vi, èlɔ̃m mahã?” Biabia etɔ̃lia sia ve Petro, elabena Yesu biae zi etɔ̃lia be, “Èlɔ̃m mahã?” Ke Petro ɖo eŋu be, “Aƒetɔ, ènya nu sia nu, eye ènya be melɔ̃ ye.” Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Nyi nye alẽawo.
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.”
Mele egblɔm na wò le nyateƒe me be, esi nènye ɖekakpui la, wò ŋutɔ èdoa awu hedoa go yia afi si nèlɔ̃ la, gake ne èku amegã la, àkɔ wò abɔwo dzi, eye ame bubu nado awu na wò, eye wòakplɔ wò ayi afi si mèdi be yeayi o la.”
19 Now he said this, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. When he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me.”
Yesu gblɔ nya sia nɛ be wòatsɔ afia ku si ƒomevi ku ge wòala atsɔ aɖe Mawu ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe afia. Emegbe la, Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Dze yonyeme.”
20 Then Peter, turning around, saw a disciple following. This was the disciple whom Jesus loved, the one who had also leaned on Jesus’ chest at the supper and asked, “Lord, who is going to betray you?”
Esi Petro trɔ la, ekpɔ nusrɔ̃la si Yesu lɔ̃na la wòkplɔ wo ɖo. (Nusrɔ̃la siae ziɔ ɖe Yesu ŋu le nuɖuƒe la hebiae be, “Aƒetɔ, mía dometɔ kae ade wò asi?”)
21 Peter, seeing him, said to Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?”
Esi Petro kpɔe la, ebia be, “Aƒetɔ, ekema ame sia ya ɖe?”
22 Jesus said to him, “If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you? You follow me.”
Yesu ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Ne medi be wòanɔ agbe va se ɖe esime matrɔ ava la, wò nyaea? Wò la dze yonyeme.”
23 This saying therefore went out among the brothers 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?”
Ke nya sia kaka ɖe nɔvia nusrɔ̃la bubuwo dome be nusrɔ̃la sia mele kuku ge o. Ke Yesu megblɔ be mele kuku ge o; ɖeko wògblɔ be, “Ne medi be wòanɔ agbe va se ɖe esime matrɔ ava la, wò nyaea?”
24 This is the disciple who testifies about these things, and wrote these things. We know that his witness is true.
Nusrɔ̃la siae ɖi ɖase tso nu siawo ŋuti. Ekpɔ nu siawo katã teƒe tsitotsito, eye wòŋlɔ wo da ɖi. Eye mí katã míenya be eƒe ɖaseɖiɖi nye nyateƒe.
25 There 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.
Yesu wɔ nu bubu geɖewo hã. Ne woaŋlɔ wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe da ɖi la, mesusu be xexea me katã gɔ̃ hã melolo agbalẽ siawo nanɔ o.
