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:
| ܒܬܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܚܘܝ ܬܘܒ ܢܦܫܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܥܠ ܝܡܐ ܕܛܝܒܪܝܘܤ ܚܘܝ ܕܝܢ ܗܟܢܐ |
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.
| ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܗܘܘ ܐܟܚܕܐ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܘܬܐܘܡܐ ܕܡܬܐܡܪ ܬܐܡܐ ܘܢܬܢܝܐܝܠ ܗܘ ܕܡܢ ܩܛܢܐ ܕܓܠܝܠܐ ܘܒܢܝ ܙܒܕܝ ܘܬܪܝܢ ܐܚܪܢܝܢ ܡܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ |
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.
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܐܙܠ ܐܢܐ ܐܨܘܕ ܢܘܢܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܐܦ ܚܢܢ ܐܬܝܢܢ ܥܡܟ ܘܢܦܩܘ ܘܤܠܩܘ ܠܤܦܝܢܬܐ ܘܒܗܘ ܠܠܝܐ ܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܨܕܘ |
4 Early the next morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but we did not know that it was Jesus.
| ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܗܘܐ ܨܦܪܐ ܩܡ ܝܫܘܥ ܥܠ ܝܕ ܝܡܐ ܘܠܐ ܝܕܥܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܗܘ |
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].”
| ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܛܠܝܐ ܠܡܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܠܡܠܥܤ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܠܐ |
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]!
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܪܡܘ ܡܨܝܕܬܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܓܒܐ ܕܝܡܝܢܐ ܕܤܦܝܢܬܐ ܘܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܐܪܡܝܘ ܘܠܐ ܐܫܟܚܘ ܠܡܓܕܗ ܠܡܨܝܕܬܐ ܡܢ ܤܘܓܐܐ ܕܢܘܢܐ ܕܐܚܕܬ |
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].
| ܘܐܡܪ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܗܘ ܕܪܚܡ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܟܐܦܐ ܗܢܐ ܡܪܢ ܗܘ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܫܡܥ ܕܡܪܢ ܗܘ ܢܤܒ ܟܘܬܝܢܗ ܡܚܐ ܒܚܨܘܗܝ ܡܛܠ ܕܥܪܛܠܝܐ ܗܘܐ ܘܫܕܐ ܢܦܫܗ ܒܝܡܐ ܕܢܐܬܐ ܠܘܬ ܝܫܘܥ |
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.
| ܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܒܤܦܝܢܬܐ ܐܬܘ ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܪܚܝܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܤܓܝ ܡܢ ܐܪܥܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܡܐܬܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܘܢܓܕܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܠܡܨܝܕܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܢܘܢܐ |
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.
| ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܤܠܩܘ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܚܙܘ ܓܘܡܪܐ ܟܕ ܤܝܡܢ ܘܢܘܢܐ ܟܕ ܤܝܡ ܥܠܝܗܝܢ ܘܠܚܡܐ |
10 Jesus said to us, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught!”
| ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܝܬܘ ܡܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܢܘܢܐ ܕܨܕܬܘܢ ܗܫܐ |
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.
| ܘܤܠܩ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܘܢܓܕܗ ܠܡܨܝܕܬܐ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܟܕ ܡܠܝܐ ܢܘܢܐ ܪܘܪܒܐ ܡܐܐ ܘܚܡܫܝܢ ܘܬܠܬܐ ܘܒܗܢܐ ܟܠܗ ܝܘܩܪܐ ܠܐ ܐܨܛܪܝܬ ܡܨܝܕܬܐ ܗܝ |
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.
| ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܬܘ ܐܫܬܪܘ ܐܢܫ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܠܐ ܡܡܪܚ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܫܐܠܝܘܗܝ ܕܡܢܘ ܕܝܕܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܡܪܢ ܗܘ |
13 Jesus took the buns and gave them to us. He did the same with the fish.
| ܩܪܒ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܫܩܠ ܠܚܡܐ ܘܢܘܢܐ ܘܝܗܒ ܠܗܘܢ |
14 That was the third time that Jesus appeared to [us] disciples after [God] caused him to become alive again after he died.
| ܗܕܐ ܕܬܠܬ ܙܒܢܝܢ ܐܬܚܙܝ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܟܕ ܩܡ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ |
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.”
| ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܐܫܬܪܝܘ ܐܡܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܫܡܥܘܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܒܪ ܝܘܢܐ ܪܚܡ ܐܢܬ ܠܝ ܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܝܢ ܡܪܝ ܐܢܬ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܬ ܕܪܚܡ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܪܥܝ ܠܝ ܐܡܪܝ |
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.”
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܬܘܒ ܕܬܪܬܝܢ ܙܒܢܝܢ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܒܪ ܝܘܢܐ ܪܚܡ ܐܢܬ ܠܝ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܝܢ ܡܪܝ ܐܢܬ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܬ ܕܪܚܡ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܪܥܝ ܠܝ ܥܪܒܝ |
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.
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܕܬܠܬ ܙܒܢܝܢ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܒܪ ܝܘܢܐ ܪܚܡ ܐܢܬ ܠܝ ܘܟܪܝܬ ܠܗ ܠܟܐܦܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܕܬܠܬ ܙܒܢܝܢ ܕܪܚܡ ܐܢܬ ܠܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܪܝ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܐܢܬ ܚܟܡ ܐܢܬ ܐܢܬ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܬ ܕܪܚܡ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܪܥܝ ܠܝ ܢܩܘܬܝ |
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].”
| ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܕܟܕ ܛܠܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܐܢܬ ܠܢܦܫܟ ܐܤܪ ܗܘܝܬ ܚܨܝܟ ܘܡܗܠܟ ܗܘܝܬ ܠܐܝܟܐ ܕܨܒܐ ܐܢܬ ܡܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܤܐܒܬ ܬܦܫܘܛ ܐܝܕܝܟ ܘܐܚܪܝܢ ܢܐܤܘܪ ܠܟ ܚܨܝܟ ܘܢܘܒܠܟ ܠܐܝܟܐ ܕܠܐ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܬ |
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].”
| ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܕܢܚܘܐ ܒܐܝܢܐ ܡܘܬܐ ܥܬܝܕ ܕܢܫܒܚ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܘܟܕ ܐܡܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܬܐ ܒܬܪܝ |
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?”
| ܘܐܬܦܢܝ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܘܚܙܐ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܗܘ ܕܪܚܡ ܗܘܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܕܐܬܐ ܒܬܪܗ ܗܘ ܕܢܦܠ ܗܘܐ ܒܚܫܡܝܬܐ ܥܠ ܚܕܝܗ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܪܝ ܡܢܘ ܡܫܠܡ ܠܟ |
21 When Peter saw me, he asked, “Lord, what [is going to happen] to him?”
| ܠܗܢܐ ܟܕ ܚܙܐ ܟܐܦܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܡܪܝ ܘܗܢܐ ܡܢܐ |
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!”
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܢ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܢܩܘܐ ܗܢܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܡܐ ܠܟ ܐܢܬ ܬܐ ܒܬܪܝ |
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]”
| ܘܢܦܩܬ ܗܕܐ ܡܠܬܐ ܒܝܬ ܐܚܐ ܕܗܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܠܐ ܡܐܬ ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܐܬ ܐܡܪ ܐܠܐ ܕܐܢ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܢܩܘܐ ܗܢܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܡܐ ܠܟ |
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.
| ܗܢܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܕܐܤܗܕ ܥܠ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܘܐܦ ܟܬܒ ܐܢܝܢ ܘܝܕܥܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܕܫܪܝܪܐ ܗܝ ܤܗܕܘܬܗ |
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].
| ܐܝܬ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܐܚܪܢܝܬܐ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܠܘ ܚܕܐ ܚܕܐ ܡܬܟܬܒܢ ܗܘܝ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܗܘ ܥܠܡܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܤܒܪ ܐܢܐ ܤܦܩ ܗܘܐ ܠܟܬܒܐ ܕܡܬܟܬܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ |
