< 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:
Sidan openberra Jesus seg endå ein gong for læresveinarne ved Tiberiassjøen. Med det gjekk det soleis til:
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.
Simon Peter og Tomas - han som me kallar Didymus - og Natanael - han frå Kana i Galilæa - og Sebedæus-sønerne og tvo andre av læresveinarne var der i hop.
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.
Då segjer Simon Peter til deim: «Eg gjeng’stad å fiska.» «Me vil og med, » segjer dei. So tok dei ut og steig i båten; men den natti fekk dei’kje noko.
4 Early the next morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but we did not know that it was Jesus.
I det bilet det tok til å dagast, stod Jesus med ein gong på strandi; men læresveinarne visste ikkje at det var han.
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].”
Jesus segjer til deim: «De hev vel ikkje noko å eta, born?» «Nei, » svara dei.
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]!
«Kasta garnet på høgre sida av båten, so fær de fisk, » sagde han. Dei so gjorde, og då var dei ikkje god til å draga garnet, so mykje fisk var der i det.
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].
Då segjer den læresveinen som Jesus elska, til Peter: «Det er Herren!» Med det same Simon Peter fekk høyra at det var Herren, tok han kjolen sin på seg - for han hadde lagt honom av - og kasta seg i sjøen.
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.
Og dei andre læresveinarne kom med båten, og slæpte garnet med fiskarne etter seg; for dei var ikkje langt ifrå land, berre tvo hundrad alner på lag.
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.
Då dei steig i land, ser dei ein glohaug som ligg der med fisk på og brød.
10 Jesus said to us, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught!”
«Kom hit med noko av den fisken de fekk!» segjer Jesus.
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.
Då steig Simon Peter ut i båten og drog garnet på land; det var fullt av store fiskar, hundrad og tri og femti; men endå det var so mange, gjekk ikkje garnet sund.
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.
«Kom hit og få dykk ein morgonbite!» segjer Jesus. Ingen av læresveinarne våga å spyrja honom: «Kven er du?» dei visste at det var Herren.
13 Jesus took the buns and gave them to us. He did the same with the fish.
Då kom Jesus, og tok brødet og gav deim, og like eins fisken.
14 That was the third time that Jesus appeared to [us] disciples after [God] caused him to become alive again after he died.
Dette var no tridje gongen Jesus openberra seg for læresveinarne etter at han hadde stade upp frå dei daude.
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.”
Som dei no hadde ete morgonverden, segjer Jesus til Simon Peter: «Simon Johannesson, elskar du meg meir enn desse?» «Ja, Herre, » svarar han; «du veit at eg held av deg.» «Fød lambi mine!» segjer Jesus.
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.”
So segjer han til honom att, andre gongen: «Simon Johannesson, elskar du meg?» Han svarar: «Ja, Herre, du veit eg held av deg.» «Gjæt sauerne mine» segjer Jesus.
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.
So segjer han til honom tridje gongen: «Simon Johannesson, held du av meg?» Peter tykte det leidt at han spurde honom tridje gongen: «Held du av meg?» Han svara: «Herre, du veit alt, du veit at eg held av deg.» Jesus segjer til han: «Fød sauerne mine!»
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].”
«Det segjer eg deg for visst og sant: Då du var yngre, batt du sjølv livgjordi um deg og gjekk dit du vilde; men når du vert gamall, skal du retta ut henderne dine, og ein annan skal binda livgjordi um deg og føra deg dit du ikkje vil.»
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].”
Det sagde han for å vitra um kvaslags daude han skulde koma til å æra Gud med. Då han hadde sagt det, segjer han til honom: «Fylg meg!»
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?”
Då Peter snudde seg, ser han at den læresveinen som Jesus elska, fylgde med, han som hadde sete tett innmed honom då dei heldt nattverd, og spurt: «Herre, kven er den som svik deg?»
21 When Peter saw me, he asked, “Lord, what [is going to happen] to him?”
Då Peter såg honom, segjer han til Jesus: «Herre, korleis skal det so ganga honom?»
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!”
Jesus svarar: «Um eg vil at han skal liva til eg kjem, kva hev so du med det? Fylg du meg!»
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]”
Soleis kom det ordet ut bland brørne: «Den læresveinen døyr ikkje.» Men Jesus sagde ikkje til honom at han ikkje skulde døy; det han sagde var: «Um eg vil at han skal liva til eg kjem, kva hev so du med det?»
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.
Det er den læresveinen som vitnar um desse ting og hev skrive dette, og me veit at vitnemålet hans er sant.
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].
Det er endå mykje anna som Jesus hev gjort. Skulde det skrivast upp, kvar ting for seg, trur eg ikkje heile verdi vilde røma dei bøkerne som då laut skrivast.
