< 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:
在这之后,耶稣在提比里亚海边再次向门徒显现。他显现的经过是这样的:
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.
当时彼得、“双生子”多马、加利利的迦拿人拿但业、西庇太的两个儿子,和另外两个门徒聚在一起。
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.
彼得对他们说:“我要打鱼去。”他们说:“我们也跟你一起去。”于是他们出去上了船,可是那一夜他们并没有打到什么。
4 Early the next morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but we did not know that it was Jesus.
黎明时分,耶稣站在岸边,门徒却不知道他就是耶稣。
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].”
耶稣对他们说:“我的朋友们,打到鱼没有?”他们回答:“没有。”
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]!
耶稣说:“把网撒在船的右侧就可以打到鱼。”于是他们把网撒下去,但却拉不动,因为鱼太多。
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].
耶稣所爱的那名门徒对彼得说:“是主!”彼得一听见是主,就立刻穿上衣服(因为他当时没有穿衣服),纵身跳进海里。
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.
其他的门徒因为离岸不远(约有一百公尺),于是就跟着来到小船上,把那网鱼拖过来。
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.
他们上了岸,就看见那里有一堆篝火,上面正在烹饪鱼,还有一些饼。
10 Jesus said to us, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught!”
耶稣对他们说:“把你们刚才打的鱼拿几条来。”
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.
彼得上船把网拉到岸上,那网装满了大鱼,共有一百五十三条。鱼虽然这么多,网却没有破。
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.
耶稣对他们说:“来吃早饭吧。”门徒中没有一个人敢问他:“你是谁?”因为知道他是主。
13 Jesus took the buns and gave them to us. He did the same with the fish.
耶稣走过来,把饼递给他们,又把鱼递给他们。
14 That was the third time that Jesus appeared to [us] disciples after [God] caused him to become alive again after he died.
这是耶稣死而复生后,第三次向门徒显现。
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.”
他们吃了早饭,耶稣问西门(彼得):“约翰的儿子西门,你爱我比这些更深吗?” 他回答说:“是的,主啊,你知道我爱你。”
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.”
耶稣对他说:“照顾好我的羊羔。”耶稣第二次又问他:“约翰的儿子西门,你爱我吗?”他回答:“主啊,是的,你知道我爱你。”
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.
耶稣说:“照顾好我的绵羊。”耶稣第三次问他:“约翰的儿子西门,你爱我吗?”彼得因为耶稣第三次问他“你爱我吗?”就有些难过。于是对耶稣说:“主啊,你是无所不知的,你知道我爱你。”耶稣说:“照顾好我的绵羊。
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].”
告诉你实话,当你年轻的时候,你会打扮好去任何地方,但当你变老,就要伸出手来,让别人给你穿上衣服,带你到你不愿意去的地方。”
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].”
耶稣说这话,是在解释他死亡的方式如何让上帝获得荣耀。然后他对彼得说:“跟我来吧。”
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?”
彼得转过身来,看见耶稣所爱的那名门徒跟着他们,他在最后的晚餐时曾侧身问耶稣:“主啊,出卖你的是谁?。”
21 When Peter saw me, he asked, “Lord, what [is going to happen] to him?”
彼得看见他,就问耶稣:“主啊,他会怎么样呢?”
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!”
耶稣回答他:“如果我让他活到我到来之时,跟你有什么关系呢?你只管跟从我吧!”
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]”
这句话传到其他门徒那里,说那位门徒不会死。其实耶稣并没有对他说他不会死,只是说:“如果我让他活到我到来之时,跟你有什么关系呢?”
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.
这位门徒确认发生过这件事,并且将其写了下来。我们知道他的见证是真实的。
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].
耶稣还做过许多其他的事情,如果全部写下来,我怀疑整个世界能否容纳所有要写的书。
