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:
Hessafe guye, Yesuusi Xibiryadoosa Abbaa matan ba tamaaretas zaari qonccis. I enttaw hayssafe kaallidi de7iya hanotan qonccis.
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.
Simoon Phexiroosi, Mentte geetettiya Toomasi, Qaana Galiilappe yida Natina7eeli, Zabdiyoosa naytinne Yesuusa tamaaretappe hara nam77ati issife de7oosona.
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.
Simoon Phexiroosi enttako, “Taani molo oykkanaw bays” yaagis. Entti, “Nukka neera baana” yaagidi, wogoluwa giddo gelidosona. Shin entti he qamman aybi molokka oykkibookkona.
4 Early the next morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but we did not know that it was Jesus.
Wontta guura xalqey dolanaappe sinthe, Yesuusi abbaa gaxan eqqis, shin iya tamaareti Yesuusa gididayssa erbookkona.
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].”
Yesuusi enttako, “Ta laggeto, molo oykkibeekketii?” yaagis. Entti zaaridi, “Aykkoka oykkibookko” yaagidosona.
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]!
I zaaridi, “Hintte gitiya wogoluwappe ushachcha baggara yeggite; guutha molo hintte oykkana” yaagis. Hessa gisho, gitiya ushachcha baggara yeggidosona. Moloy darida gisho goochchi kessanaw xoonettidosona.
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].
Yesuusi dosiya tamaarey Phexiroosakko, “Hayssi Godaa!” yaagis. Simoon Phexiroosi I Godaa gidayssa si7ida wode, kallo de7iya gisho, ba ma7uwa ma7idi abbaa giddo guppi gelis.
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.
Shin wogoluwan attida hankko tamaareti moloy kumida gitiya goochchidi, abbaafe gaxa keyidosona. Entti abbaafe nam77u xeetu wadha mela haakkoosona.
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.
Entti abbaafe gaxa keyida wode, xiifa bonqon moloy de7eyssanne uythi be7idosona.
10 Jesus said to us, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught!”
Yesuusi enttako, “Ha77i hintte oykkida moluwappe guuthara hammite” yaagis.
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.
Simoon Phexiroosi wogoluwan gelidi, xeetanne ishatammanne heedzu wogga moloti kumida gitiya goochchidi abbaafe gaxa kessis. Moloy hessa mela daro gidin gitey daakettibeenna.
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.
Yesuusi enttako, “Haa yidi miite” yaagis. I Godaa gideyssa entti erida gisho, iya tamaaretappe issoykka, “Neeni oonee?” gidi iya oychchanaw minniday baawa.
13 Jesus took the buns and gave them to us. He did the same with the fish.
Yesuusi yidi, uythaa ekkidi enttaw immis; moluwakka hessada immis.
14 That was the third time that Jesus appeared to [us] disciples after [God] caused him to become alive again after he died.
Yesuusi hayqoppe denddidi ba tamaaretas qonccishin hayssi heedzantho.
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.”
Entti midaappe guye, Yesuusi Simoon Phexiroosakko, “Yoona na7aw Simoona, tana hayssatappe aathada dosay?” yaagis. Simoon Phexiroosi, “Ee Godaw, taani nena doseyssa ne eraasa” yaagis. Yesuusi iyaakko, “Ta dorssa marata heemma” yaagis.
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.”
Yesuusi qassika, “Yoona na7aw Simoona, tana dosay?” yaagis. Simoon Phexiroosi, “Ee Godaw, taani nena doseyssa ne eraasa” yaagis. Yesuusi, “Ta dorssata heemma” yaagis.
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.
Yesuusi heedzantho, “Yoona na7aw Simoona, tana dosay?” yaagis. Yesuusi heedzantho Simoon Phexiroosakko, “Tana dosay?” yaagidi oychchida gisho, Phexiroosi azzanidi, “Godaw, neeni ubbabaa eraasa; taani nena doseyssa ne eraasa” yaagis. Yesuusi, “Ta dorssata heemma.
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].”
Taani new tuma odays; neeni na7atethan de7iya wode, nerkka danccettada, ne koyida soo baasa. Shin ne cimida wode ne kushiya micca bessana. Hari danccisana; ne dosonna soo efana” yaagis.
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].”
Yesuusi hessa Phexiroosi ay mela hayqo hayqqidi, Xoossaa bonchchisaneekko erisanaw gis. Hessa gidaappe guye, Yesuusi Phexiroosakko, “Tana kaalla” yaagis.
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?”
Phexiroosi guye simmidi, Yesuusi dosiya tamaarey baappe guyera yeyssa be7is. He tamaarey, kaho miyason Yesuusakko shiiqidi, “Godaw, nena aathi immanay oonee?” gidayssa.
21 When Peter saw me, he asked, “Lord, what [is going to happen] to him?”
Phexiroosi he tamaariya be7idi, “Godaw, ha addey qassi waananee?” yaagidi Yesuusa oychchis.
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!”
Yesuusi iyaakko, “Taani yaana gakkanaw I daana mela taani koykko, hessi nena ay metidee? Neeni tana kaalla” yaagis.
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]”
Hessa gisho, he tamaarey hayqqenna giya oday ishata ubbaa gakkis. Shin Yesuusi, “Taani yaana gakkanaw, I daana mela taani koykko nena ay metidee?” yaagisippe attin “Hayqqenna” gibeenna.
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.
Ha odabaa markkattidaynne hayssa xaafiday he tamaariya. Iya markkatethay tuma gideyssa nuuni eroos.
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].
Yesuusi oothida hara darobay de7ees. Ta qoppin, ubbabay huu7en huu7en xaafettidaakko, xaafettiya maxaafatas kumetha alamey wothanw gidanabaa daanenna.
