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:
Hekah phoeiah, hnukbang rhoek ham Tiberias tuili ah Jesuh amah te koep phoe.
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.
A phoe tangloeng vaengah Simon Peter, Didymus la a khue Thomas, Galilee ram Kana lamkah Nathanael, Zebedee ca rhoek neh a hnukbang a tloe panit te tun om uh.
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.
Simon Peter loh amih taengah, “Ngatu la ka cet ni,” a ti nah. Te dongah amah te, “Kaimih khaw nang taengah ka lo uh ni,” a ti na uh. Cet uh tih lawng dongah kun uh ngawn dae tekah khoyin ah a tuuk uh moenih.
4 Early the next morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but we did not know that it was Jesus.
Mincang a pha vaengah Jesuh te tuikaeng ah pai dae hnukbang rhoek loh Jesuh ni tila ming uh pawh.
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].”
Te dongah Jesuh loh amih taengah, “Camoe rhoek, ngasa khat khaw na khueh uh moenih a?” a ti nah hatah, “Om pawh,” a ti na uh.
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]!
Tedae amih te, “Lawng a kaepvai kah bantang benah lawk te voei lamtah nga na dang uh bitni,” a ti nah. Te dongah lawk te a voeih uh hatah doek thai pawt la nga muep yet.
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].
Te vaengah Jesuh kah a lungnah hnukbang loh Peter taengah, “Boeipa ni,” a ti nah. Simon Peter tah a tlingyal la a om dongah Boeipa ni tila a yaak vaengah a sokah himbai te a vaep tih tuili ah amah cungpung.
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.
Tedae a tloe hnukbang rhoek tah lawng neh ha lo uh. Lan lamloh dong yahnih tluk pataeng lakhla la a om uh mueh la nga lawk te a mawt uh.
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.
Lan te a pha uh vaengah hmai ulh om tih vaidam neh nga te a tloeng thil a hmuh uh.
10 Jesus said to us, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught!”
Jesuh loh amih te, “Tahae kah na tuuk uh nga te bet han khuen uh,” a ti nah.
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.
Te dongah Simon Peter loh cet tih nga len ya sawmnga pathum a bae la lawk te lan la a doek. He yet lo dae lawk tah pawn pawh.
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.
Jesuh loh amih te, “Halo uh buh ca uh,” a ti nah. Te vaengah anih te, “U nang nim?” tila dawt ham khaw hnukbang rhoek loh ngaingaih voel pawh. Boeipa ni tila a ming uh coeng.
13 Jesus took the buns and gave them to us. He did the same with the fish.
Jesuh ha pawk tih vaidam te a loh phoeiah amih te a paek, nga te khaw amih a paek.
14 That was the third time that Jesus appeared to [us] disciples after [God] caused him to become alive again after he died.
Tahae ah he duek lamkah a thoh phoeiah Jesuh loh hnukbang rhoek taengah a pathum phoe nah ni.
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.”
A caak uh vaengah Jesuh loh Simon Peter te, “Johan capa Simon amih lakah kai nan lungnah a?” a ti nah. Peter loh, “Ue, Boeipa, Nang kan lungnah te namah loh na ming,” a ti nah. Jesuh loh, “Kai kah tuca rhoek te cuncah ne,” a ti nah.
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.”
A pabae la anih te, “Johan capa Simon kai nan lungnah a?” a ti nah. Peter loh, “Ue, Boeipa, Nang kan lungnah te namah loh na ming,” a ti nah. Jesuh loh, “Ka tu te dawndah ne,” a ti nah.
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.
A pathum ah Peter te, “Johan capa Simon. kai nan lungnah a?” a ti nah. Anih te, “Kai nan lungnah a?” tila voeithum a dawt dongah Peter tah a kothae tih, “Boeipa, namah loh boeih na ming. Nang kan lungnah te namah loh na ming,” a ti nah. Jesuh loh, “Kai kah tu rhoek te cuncah ne.
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].”
Nang taengah rhep rhep ka thui. Tanoe la na om vaengah namah loh na khih tih na ngaih la na cet dae na patong vaengah na kut te na phuel vetih hlang tloe loh nang n'khih phoeiah na ngaih mueh hmuen la n'sol ni,” a ti nah.
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].”
He vaengah ni dueknah lamloh Pathen a thangpom ham te a thui tih a phoe coeng. Hekah he a thui phoeiah Peter te, “Kai m'vai,” a ti nah.
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?”
Peter te a mael vaengah Jesuh loh a lungnah hnukbang loh ham vai te a hmuh. Anih te khaw hlaembuh vaengah a rhang dongah hangdang tih, “Boeipa nang aka voei te unim?” a ti nah.
21 When Peter saw me, he asked, “Lord, what [is going to happen] to him?”
Anih te Peter loh a hmuh vaengah Jesuh te, “Boeipa, anih tah metlam lae?” a ti nah.
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!”
Jesuh loh, “Anih te ka lo due naeh sak ham ka ngaih cakhaw nang ham balae a ti eh? Nang te kai m'vai ngawn,” a ti nah.
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]”
Te dongah, “Tekah hnukbang tah duek mahpawh,” a ti olka te manuca rhoek taengah yilh cet. Tedae Jesuh loh anih te, “Duek mahpawh,” a ti moenih. “Anih te ka pawk duela naeh sak ka ngaih cakhaw nang ham balae a ti eh?” ti ni a thui.
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.
He tah hnukbang rhoek loh a phong tih a daek rhoek te ni. Te dongah a olphong aka om tah oltak tila m'ming uh.
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].
Jesuh loh a saii te a tloe khaw muep om dae tekah te pakhat pakhat ah daek uh koinih cabu daek tangtae te diklai amah pataeng hoeng mahpawh tila ka poek.
