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:
Hili ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻe toe fakahā ia ʻe Sisu ki heʻene kau ākonga ʻi he tahi ʻo Taipiliō; pea naʻe pehē hono fakahā.
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.
Naʻe fakataha ʻa Saimone Pita, mo Tōmasi naʻe ui ko Titimasi, mo Nātaniela ʻo Kena ʻo Kāleli, mo e ongo foha ʻo Sepeti, mo ʻene kau ākonga kehe ʻe toko ua.
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.
Pea lea ʻa Saimone Pita kiate kinautolu, “Te u ʻalu ʻo fai kupenga.” Pea nau pehē kiate ia, “Te tau ō foki mo koe.” Pea naʻa nau ʻalu atu leva, ʻo heka vaka; pea ko e pō ko ia naʻe ʻikai te nau maʻu ha meʻa.
4 Early the next morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but we did not know that it was Jesus.
Pea pongipongi hake, ʻoku tuʻu ʻa Sisu ʻi matātahi: ka naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻe he kau ākonga ko Sisu ia.
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].”
Pea lea ʻa Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Fānau, ʻoku ai haʻamou meʻakai?” Pea nau talaange kiate ia, “ʻIkai.”
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]!
Pea tala ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻAʻau ʻae kupenga ʻi he mataʻu ʻoe vaka, pea te mou maʻu.” Pea nau ʻaʻau ai, pea ʻikai ai ke nau faʻa toho ia koeʻuhi ko e lahi ʻoe ika.
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].
Ko ia naʻe lea ai kia Pita ʻae ākonga ko ia naʻe ʻofa ai ʻa Sisu, “Ko e ʻEiki ia.” Pea kuo fanongo leva ʻa Saimone Pita ko e ʻEiki, pea nonoʻo ʻe ia hono kofu fakatoutai, (he naʻe vete ia, ) pea hopo ia ki tahi.
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.
Pea haʻu hono toe ʻoe kau ākonga he vaka siʻi; (he naʻe ʻikai te nau mamaʻo mei ʻuta, ka ko e hanga ʻe fāngeau nai, ) ʻonau toho ʻae kupenga mo e ika.
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.
Pea ʻi heʻenau aʻu ki ʻuta, naʻa nau mamata ki he afi kuo tafu, pea mo e ika kuo tunu ai mo e mā.
10 Jesus said to us, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught!”
Pea tala ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻOmi ʻae ika kuo mou toki maʻu ni.”
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.
Pea ʻalu ʻa Saimone Pita, ʻo toho ʻae kupenga ki ʻuta, ʻoku fonu ʻi he ngaahi ika lalahi, ko e teau ma nimangofulu mo e [ika ]ʻe tolu: ko e meʻa lahi ʻaupito, ka naʻe ʻikai mahae ʻae kupenga.
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.
Pea lea ʻa Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Haʻu ʻo kai.” Pea naʻe ʻikai faʻa fehuʻi ʻe ha taha ʻi he kau ākonga kiate ia, “Ko hai koe?” He naʻa nau ʻilo ko e ʻEiki.
13 Jesus took the buns and gave them to us. He did the same with the fish.
Pea haʻu ai ʻa Sisu, ʻo toʻo ʻae mā, ʻo ʻatu kiate kinautolu, mo e ika foki.
14 That was the third time that Jesus appeared to [us] disciples after [God] caused him to become alive again after he died.
Pea ko hono liunga tolu eni ʻoe fakahā ia ʻe Sisu ki heʻene kau ākonga, hili ʻene toetuʻu mei he mate.
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.”
Pea hili ʻenau kai, pea lea ʻa Sisu kia Saimone Pita, Saimone, ko e foha ʻo Sonasi, “ʻOku lahi hake hoʻo ʻofa kiate au ʻiate kinautolu ni?” Pea talaange ʻe ia kiate ia, “ʻIo, ʻEiki; ʻoku ke ʻilo ʻoku ou ʻofa kiate koe.” Pea ne pehē kiate ia, “Fafanga ʻeku fanga lami.”
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.”
Pea toe lea ia ki ai ko hono tuʻo ua, “Saimone, ko e foha ʻo Sonasi, ʻoku ke ʻofa kiate au?” Pea talaange ʻe ia ki ai, “ʻIo, ʻEiki; ʻoku ke ʻilo ʻoku ou ʻofa kiate koe.” Pea ne pehē kiate ia, “Fafanga ʻeku fanga sipi.”
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.
Pea lea ʻe ia kiate ia ko hono liunga tolu, “Saimone, ko e foha ʻo Sonasi, ʻoku ke ʻofa kiate au?” Pea mamahi ʻa Pita ʻi heʻene lea ko hono liunga tolu kiate ia, “ʻOku ke ʻofa kiate au?” Pea talaange ʻe ia ki ai, “ʻEiki, ʻoku ke ʻiloʻi ʻae meʻa kotoa pē; ʻoku ke ʻiloʻi ʻoku ou ʻofa kiate koe.” Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Fafanga ʻeku fanga sipi.
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].”
Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala atu kiate koe, ʻI hoʻo kei talavou, naʻa ke nonoʻo koe, ʻo ke ʻeveʻeva ko hoʻo faʻiteliha: ka ʻoka ke ka motuʻa, te ke mafao atu ho nima, pea ʻe nonoʻo koe ʻe ha tokotaha, ʻo ʻave koe ki he potu ʻe ʻikai te ke loto ki ai.”
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].”
Naʻa ne lea ʻaki eni, ko e fakahā ʻae mateʻanga ko ia te ne fakaongoongolelei ai ʻae ʻOtua. Pea hili ʻene lea pehē, pea ne pehē ki ai, “Muimui mai kiate au.”
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?”
Pea tafoki ki mui ʻa Pita, ʻo mamata ki he ākonga. Ko ia naʻe ʻofa ai ʻa Sisu, ʻoku muimui mai; ʻaia foki naʻe faʻaki ki hono fatafata ʻi he kai ʻoe ʻohomohe, ʻo ne pehē ai, “ʻEiki, ko hai ia ʻoku ne lavakiʻi koe?”
21 When Peter saw me, he asked, “Lord, what [is going to happen] to him?”
Pea mamata ʻa Pita kiate ia, pea ne pehē kia Sisu, “ʻEiki, pea ʻe fēfē ʻae tangata ni?”
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!”
Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Kapau ko hoku loto ke tatali ia ke ʻoua ke u haʻu, ko e hā ia kiate koe? Muimui koe ʻiate au.”
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]”
Pea mafola ʻae tala ni ki he kāinga, ʻe ʻikai mate ʻae ākonga ko ia: ka naʻe ʻikai tala ʻe Sisu kiate ia, ʻE ʻikai mate ia; kae [pehē], “Kapau ʻoku ou loto ke tatali ia ke ʻoua ke u haʻu, ko e hā ia kiate koe?”
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.
Ko eni ʻae ākonga ko ia ʻaia ʻoku ne fakapapau ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, ʻo ne tohi ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni: pea ʻoku mau ʻilo ʻoku moʻoni ʻene fakamoʻoni.
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].
Pea ʻoku ai mo e ngaahi meʻa kehekehe naʻe fai ʻe Sisu, ʻa ia, ka ne tohi kotoa pē, ʻoku ou mahalo ʻe meimei ʻikai hao ʻi māmani ʻae ngaahi tohi ʻaia ʻe tohi ai. ʻEmeni.
