< John 21 >

1 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:
Rehefa afaka izany, dia niseho tamin’ ny mpianatra indray Jesosy teo amoron’ ny Ranomasin’ i Tiberiasy; ary toy izao no nisehoany:
2 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.
Niaraka Simona Petera sy Tomasy, izay atao hoe Didymo, sy Natanaela, ilay avy tany Kana any Galilia, sy ireo zanak’ i Zebedio ary mpianatra roa lahy hafa koa.
3 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.
Hoy Simona Petera taminy: Handeha hanarato aho. Hoy ireo taminy: Handeha hiaraka aminao koa izahay. Dia nandeha izy ka niditra an-tsambokely, ary tamin’ iny alina iny dia tsy nahazo na inona na inona akory izy.
4 Early the next morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but we did not know that it was Jesus.
Ary nony efa nazava ratsy ny andro, dia nitsangana teo amoron-dranomasina Jesosy, kanefa tsy fantatry ny mpianatra ho Jesosy izany.
5 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].”
Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Anaka, manan-kanina va ianareo? Dia namaly Azy hoe izy: Tsia.
6 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]!
Ary hoy Izy taminy: Alatsaho eo amin’ ny sisiny ankavanan’ ny sambokely ny haratonareo, dia hahazo ianareo. Koa dia nalatsany izany, ka tsy zakany nakarina noho ny habetsahan’ ny hazandrano.
7 [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].
Ary hoy ny mpianatra izay tian’ i Jesosy tamin’ i Petera: Ny Tompo iry. Ary raha ren’ i Simona Petera fa ny Tompo iny, dia nisikinany ny akanjo ivelany (fa tsy niakanjo izy), ka nirotsaka teo amin’ ny ranomasina izy.
8 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.
Fa ny mpianatra sasany nandeha an-tsambokely ihany nisarika ny harato feno hazandrano; fa tsy lavitra ny tany izy, fa tokony ho roan-jato hakiho ihany.
9 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.
Raha vao nikatra teo an-tanety izy, dia nahita afon’ arina teo sy hazandrano teo amboniny ary mofo.
10 Jesus said to us, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught!”
Hoy Jesosy taminy: Analao hazandrano amin’ ireo vao azonareo teo.
11 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.
Dia niakatra Simona Petera, ka nosarihany ho eo an-tanety ny harato feno hazandrano vaventy, telo amby dimam-polo amby zato; ary na dia be tahaka izany aza izy, dia tsy triatra ny harato.
12 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.
Hoy Jesosy taminy: Avia hisakafo. Fa tsy nisy mpianatra sahy nanontany Azy hoe: Iza moa Hianao? satria fantany ihany fa ny Tompo Izy.
13 Jesus took the buns and gave them to us. He did the same with the fish.
Ary tonga Jesosy, dia nandray ny mofo, ka natolony azy, dia vao ny hazandrano indray.
14 That was the third time that Jesus appeared to [us] disciples after [God] caused him to become alive again after he died.
Izany no fanintelon’ ny nisehoan’ i Jesosy tamin’ ny mpianatra, rehefa nitsangana tamin’ ny maty Izy.
15 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.”
Ary rehefa nisakafo izy, dia hoy Jesosy tamin’ i Simona Petera: Simona, zanak’ i Jaona, moa ny fitiavanao Ahy mihoatra noho ny fitiavan’ ireto? Hoy izy taminy: Eny, Tompoko; Hianao mahalala fa tia Anao aho. Dia hoy Izy taminy: Fahano ary ny ondrikeliko.
16 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.”
Hoy indray Izy taminy fanindroany: Simona, zanak’ i Jaona, moa tia Ahy va ianao? Dia hoy izy taminy: Eny, Tompoko; Hianao mahalala fa tia Anao aho. Dia hoy Izy taminy: Andraso ary ny ondriko.
17 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.
Hoy Izy fanintelony: Simona, zanak’ i Jaona, moa tia Ahy va ianao? Dia nalahelo Petera, satria Izy nanao intelo taminy hoe: Moa tia Ahy va ianao? Ka hoy izy taminy: Tompoko, Hianao mahalala ny zavatra rehetra; fantatrao fa tia Anao aho. Hoy Jesosy taminy: Fahano ary ny ondriko.
18 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].”
Lazaiko aminao marina dia marina tokoa: Raha mbola tanora ianao, dia nisikina ka nandeha tamin’ izay tianao; fa rehefa antitra kosa ianao, dia haninjitra ny tananao, ary olon-kafa no hanikina anao ka hitondra anao amin’ izay tsy tianao.
19 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].”
Ary izany no nolazainy hanambara ny fomban’ ny fahafatesana izay hankalazany an’ Andriamanitra. Ary rehefa voalazany izany, dia hoy Izy taminy: Manaraha Ahy.
20 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?”
Dia nitodika Petera ka nahita ny mpianatra izay tian’ i Jesosy manaraka, dia ilay niankina tamin’ ny tratrany tamin’ ny fisakafoana ka nanao hoe: Tompoko, iza no hamadika Anao?
21 When Peter saw me, he asked, “Lord, what [is going to happen] to him?”
Koa rehefa nahita azy Petera, dia hoy izy: Tompoko, inona no ho amin’ ity lehilahy ity?
22 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!”
Hoy Jesosy taminy: Raha tiako hitoetra izy mandra-pihaviko, ahoanao izany? fa manaraha Ahy ianao.
23 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]”
Ary niely tamin’ ny rahalahy izany teny izany, fa tsy ho faty izany mpianatra izany; nefa Jesosy tsy nilaza taminy fa tsy ho faty izy, fa: Raha tiako hitoetra izy mandra-pihaviko, ahoanao izany?
24 [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.
Izy no ilay mpianatra izay vavolombelona manambara izany sy nanoratra izany; ary fantatsika fa marina ny fanambarany.
25 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].
Ary misy zavatra maro hafa koa izay nataon’ i Jesosy, ka raha voasoratra tsirairay avokoa izany rehetra izany, ataoko fa izao tontolo izao aza dia tsy omby ny boky voasoratra.
