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:
Añe irezay, le niboak’ amo mpiama’eo indraike t’Iesoà an-driake Tiberiasy eo; le zao ty niboaha’e:
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.
Nifandrimboñe t’i Simona Petera naho i Tomasy atao Didimo, naho i Natanaela nte-Kana’ i Galilia miharo amy ana’ i Zebedio rey vaho ty mpiama’e roe ila’e.
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.
Le hoe t’i Simona Petera tam’ iereo: Hikara fian-draho. Hoe iereo tama’e: Hindre ama’o zahay. Aa le nionjom-beo iereo vaho nijon-dakañe, fe tsy nahazo leo raik’ amy haleñey.
4 Early the next morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but we did not know that it was Jesus.
Aa ie nanjirike i àndroy, nijohañe añ’olotse ey t’Iesoà, fe tsy napota’ o mpiama’eo t’ie Iesoà.
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].”
Le hoe t’Iesoà tam’ iereo: O Anake, nahazo fiañe v’inahareo? Hoe ty natoi’ iareo aze: Aiy.
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]!
Le nanoa’e ty hoe: Ahifiho an-kavana’ o lakañeo i haratoy handrendreke. Aa le nahifi’ iereo, fe tsy nahatarike i haratoy ami’ty fifamorohota’ o fiañeo.
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].
Aa le hoe i mpiama’e nikokoa’ Iesoày amy Petera: I Talè ‘nio. Ie jinanji’ i Simona Petera t’ie i Talè, le nidiaña’e ty saro’e, (amy t’ie nihalo), le nijorobo an-driak’ ao.
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.
Nanonjohy amy lakañey o mpiama’e ila’eo; tsy nilavitse i olon-driakey fa niha-roanjato kiho avao, le nikororohe’ iereo i harato vokatse fiañey.
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.
Ie nitoly an’ tamboho ey iereo, ro nahaoniñe foroha mirekake naho fiañe misale ama’e vaho mofo.
10 Jesus said to us, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught!”
Hoe t’Iesoà tama’e: Andeso amo fiañe niazo’ areoo.
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.
Niongake t’i Petera le nikororohe’e mb’an-tamboho mb’eo i harato vokatse fiañe jabajabay, toe zato tsy limampolo telo amby; fe tsy nianto i haratoy ndra te nimaro.
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.
Hoe t’Iesoà tam’ iereo: Antao hikama. Aa ndra iaia amo mpiama’eo tsy nahavany nañontane aze ty hoe: Ia v’iheo? fa nirendreke t’ie i Talè.
13 Jesus took the buns and gave them to us. He did the same with the fish.
Nisitse mb’eo t’Iesoà nandrambe i mofoy naho nazotso’e, vaho o fiañeo.
14 That was the third time that Jesus appeared to [us] disciples after [God] caused him to become alive again after he died.
Zay ty nisodehà’ Iesoà fañintelo’e amo mpiama’eo hirik’ amy nitroara’e an-kavilasiy.
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.”
Ie fa nitendre iereo, le hoe t’Iesoà amy Simona Petera: O Simona, ana’ i Jonà, tea’o mandikoatse o retoañe v’ irahoo? Hoe re tama’e: Eka, Talè, arofoana’o te ikokoako. Hoe re tama’e: Fahano o vik’ añondrikoo.
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.”
Nindrai’ Iesoà ama’e fañindroe’e: Simona, ana’ i Jonà, tea ahy v’iheo? Hoe re tama’e: Eñ’anio, Talè, arofoana’o te ikokoako. Hoe t’Iesoà: Andrazo o vik’ añondrikoo.
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.
Mbe nanoe’e fañintelo: O Simona, ana’ i Jonà, kokoa’o v’Irahoo? Nangoae t’i Simona amy nanoa’e fañintelo’ey ty hoe: Kokoa’o hao raho? le hoe re tama’e: O Rañandria, kila arofoana’o; fohi’o t’ie kokoako. Hoe t’Iesoà tama’e: Fahano o añondrikoo.
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].”
Itaroñako an-katò t’ie nidiañe te ni-ajalahy, naho nandenà’o ze ni-tea’o, f’ie bey le hahiti’o o fità’oo hampidiaña’ ty ila’e hinday azo mb’ami’ty tsy tea’o hombañe.
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].”
I hoe zay ty nisaontsie’e ho fitaliliañe aze ty karazan-kavilasy handrengea’e an’ Andrianañahare. Ie sinaontsi’e, le hoe re tama’e: Oriho raho.
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?”
Ie nitolike t’i Petera le niisa’e i mpiòke nikokoa’ Iesoày nanonjohy ee—i nitoñoñe añ’araña’ Iesoà amy sabadidakey, nañontane aze ty hoe: O Talè, ia ty hifotetse ama’o?
21 When Peter saw me, he asked, “Lord, what [is going to happen] to him?”
Ie nioni’ i Petera, le hoe re amy Iesoà: O Talè, akore ondaty roañe?
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!”
Hoe t’Iesoà tama’e: Naho satriko t’ie handiñe ty fibaliko, akore ama’o zay? Oriho raho.
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]”
Aa le niboele amo longoo ty tsara te tsy hivetrake i mpiama’ey; fe tsy nanao ty hoe t’Iesoà t’ie tsy ho vilasy, fa, Naho lahako t’ie handiñe ty fihereñako, akore ama’o vi’zay?
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.
Itoy ty mpiama’e mitalily irezay, naho nanokitse iretoañe. Fohi’ay te mahity i talili’ey.
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].
Mbe maro ka ty raha nanoe’ Iesoà, t’ie ro hene sinokitse, ataoko te, ndra ty voatse toy tsy nahatsake o boke ho nisokireñeo. Amena.
