< Jan 21 >

1 Kèk jou apre sa, Jezi fè disip yo wè l' ankò, bò lanmè Tiberyad la. Men ki jan sa te pase:
Later on, Jesus showed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias.
2 Simon Pyè, Toma (yo rele Jimo a), Natanayèl (ki te moun Kana nan peyi Galile) ak de pitit Zebede yo te la ansanm ak de lòt nan disip Jezi yo.
It was in this way, – Simon Peter, Thomas, who was called “The Twin,” Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, Zebedee’s sons, and two other disciples of Jesus, were together, when Simon Peter said,
3 Simon Pyè di: Mwen pral lapèch. Yo di li: Nou menm tou, nou pral avè ou. Se konsa yo pati, yo moute nan yon kannòt. Men, yo pase tout nwit lan yo pa t' pran anyen.
‘I am going fishing.’ ‘We will come with you,’ said the others. They went out and got into the boat, but caught nothing that night.
4 Li te kòmanse fè jou lè Jezi parèt bò dlo a. Men disip yo pa t' rekonèt si se te li menm.
Just as day was breaking, Jesus came and stood on the beach; but the disciples did not know that it was he.
5 Jezi di yo konsa: Mesye m' yo, èske nou pran pwason? Yo reponn li: Non, nou pa pran anyen.
‘My children,’ he said, ‘have you anything to eat?’ ‘No,’ they answered.
6 Li di yo: Lage privye a sou bò dwat kannòt la, n'a jwenn kichòy. Yo lage privye a. Men, yo pa t' kapab rale l' soti nan dlo a sitèlman li te plen pwason.
‘Cast your net to the right of the boat,’ he said, ‘and you will find fish.’ So they cast the net, and now they could not haul it in because of the quantity of fish.
7 Disip Jezi te renmen an di Pyè konsa: Se Seyè a wi. Lè Simon Pyè tande pawòl sa yo: Se Seyè a, li mete rad sou li (paske li te toutouni), li lage kò l' nan dlo a.
The disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, ‘It is the Master!’ When Simon Peter heard that it was the Master, he fastened his coat round him (for he had taken it off), and threw himself into the sea.
8 Lòt disip yo menm t'ap tounen atè nan kannòt la, yo t'ap trennen privye ki te plen pwason an dèyè yo. Yo pa t' twò lwen rivay la, san (100) mèt konsa.
But the rest of the disciples came in the boat (for they were only about a hundred yards from shore), dragging the net full of fish.
9 Lè yo desann atè, yo wè yon dife ki te limen sou rivay la avèk kèk pwason ap boukannen ladan li. Te gen pen tou.
When they had come ashore, they found a charcoal fire ready, with some fish already on it, and some bread as well.
10 Jezi di yo: Pote kèk pwason nan sa nou fèk sot pran yo.
‘Bring some of the fish which you have just caught,’ said Jesus.
11 Simon Pyè moute nan kannòt la, li rale prive a tou plen vin atè. Te gen sansenkanntwa (153) gwo pwason ladan li. Men atousa, privye a pa t' chire.
So Simon Peter got into the boat and hauled the net ashore full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three of them; and yet, although there were so many, the net had not been torn.
12 Jezi di yo: vin manje. Yo yonn nan disip yo pa t' gen kouraj mande li: Ki moun ou ye? Yo tout te konnen se te Seyè a.
‘Come and have breakfast.’, Jesus said. None of the disciples dared ask him who he was, because they knew it was the Master.
13 Jezi pwoche bò kote yo, li pran pen, li ba yo. Li ba yo pwason tou.
Jesus went and took the bread and gave it to them, and the fish too.
14 Sa te fè twazyèm fwa Jezi te fè disip li yo wè l' depi l' te leve soti vivan nan lanmò.
This was the third time that Jesus showed himself to the disciples after he had risen from the dead.
15 Lè yo fin manje, Jezi di Simon Pyè konsa: Simon, pitit Jan, èske ou renmen m' plis pase moun sa yo renmen mwen? Simon Pyè reponn: Wi, Seyè, ou konnen mwen renmen ou. Jezi di li: Pran swen ti mouton m' yo.
When breakfast was over, Jesus said to Simon Peter, ‘Simon, son of John, do you love me more than the others?’ ‘Yes, Master,’ he answered, ‘you know that I am your friend.’ ‘Feed my lambs,’ said Jesus.
16 Li mande l' yon dezyèm fwa: Simon, pitit Jan, èske ou renmen mwen? Li reponn: Wi, Seyè, ou konnen mwen renmen ou. Jezi di li: Pran swen mouton m' yo.
Then, a second time, Jesus asked, ‘Simon, son of John, do you love me?’ ‘Yes, Master,’ he answered, ‘you know that I am your friend.’ ‘Tend my sheep,’ said Jesus.
17 Apre sa, li mande l' yon twazyèm fwa: Simon, pitit Jan, èske ou renmen mwen? Sa te fè Simon lapenn anpil lè l' wè Jezi te mande l' yon twazyèm fwa: Eske ou renmen mwen? Li reponn li: Seyè, ou konn tout bagay. Ou konnen mwen renmen ou. Jezi di l' konsa: Pran swen mouton m' yo.
The third time, Jesus said to him, ‘Simon, son of John, are you my friend?’ Peter was hurt at his third question being “Are you my friend?”; and exclaimed, ‘Master, you know everything! You can tell that I am your friend.’ ‘Feed my sheep,’ said Jesus.
18 Sa m'ap di ou la a, se vre wi. Lè ou te jenn ti gason, ou te konn mare sentiwon ou pou kont ou. Lè sa a, ou te konn ale kote ou te vle. Men, lè wa fin granmoun, wa lonje de bra ou konsa, se moun ki va mare sentiwon ou pou ou. Lè sa a, y'a mennen ou kote ou pa ta vle ale.
‘In truth I tell you,’ he continued, ‘when you were young, you used to put on your own clothes, and walk wherever you wished; but, when you have grown old, you will have to stretch out your hands, while someone else puts on your clothes, and takes you where you do not wish.’
19 (Lè Jezi t'ap pale konsa, li t'ap moutre ki jan Pyè tapral mouri pou sa te sèvi yon lwanj pou Bondye.) Apre sa, Jezi di li: Swiv mwen.
Jesus said this to show the death by which Peter was to honour God, and then he added, ‘Follow me.’
20 Pyè vire tèt li, li wè disip Jezi te renmen an ki t'ap vin dèyè yo. Se disip sa a ki te panche bò zòrèy Jezi, antan yo t'ap manje a, ki te mande li: Seyè, ki moun ki pral trayi ou la?
Peter turned round, and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following – the one who at the supper leant back on the Master’s shoulder, and asked him who it was who would betray him.
21 Se konsa, Pyè wè l' ap vini, li mande Jezi: Seyè, e nonm sa a, kisak pral rive li?
Seeing him, Peter said to Jesus, ‘Master, what about this man?’
22 Jezi reponn li: Si m' vle li rete vivan jouk lè m' gen pou m' tounen an, sa sa gade ou? Ou menm, swiv mwen.
‘If it is my will that he should wait until I come,’ answered Jesus, ‘what has that to do with you? Follow me yourself.’
23 Se konsa, nouvèl la gaye nan mitan frè yo: disip sa a p'ap janm mouri. Men, Jezi pa t' di Pyè: Li p'ap janm mouri. Li te di l' konsa: Si m' vle li rete vivan jouk lè m' gen pou m' tounen an, sa sa gade ou?
So the report spread among his followers that that disciple was not to die; yet Jesus did not say that he was not to die, but said ‘If it is my will that he should wait until I come, what has that to do with you?’
24 Se menm disip sa a k'ap rapòte tout bagay sa yo. Se li menm ki ekri yo. Nou konnen sa l'ap di a se verite.
It is this disciple who states these things, and who recorded them; and we know that his statement is true.
25 Jezi te fè anpil lòt bagay ankò. Si yon moun ta pran ekri liv pou rakonte yo tout, yonn apre lòt, mwen pa kwè ta gen plas sou latè pou mete liv sa yo.
There are many other things which Jesus did; but, if every one of them were to be recorded in detail, I suppose that even the world itself would not hold the books that would be written.
