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:
Después de esto, Jesús apareció otra vez a los discípulos junto al mar de Tiberias. Apareció de esta manera:
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.
Estaban juntos Simón Pedro, Tomás el Dídimo, Natanael el de Caná de Galilea, los [hijos] de Zebedeo y otros dos de sus discípulos.
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.
Simón Pedro les dijo: Voy a pescar. Le respondieron: Vamos también contigo. Entraron en la barca, pero aquella noche nada pescaron.
4 Early the next morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but we did not know that it was Jesus.
Al amanecer, Jesús apareció en la playa. Sin embargo, los discípulos no sabían que era Jesús.
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].”
Entonces Jesús les preguntó: Hijitos, ¿tienen algo para comer? Le respondieron: No.
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]!
Él les dijo: Echen la red a la derecha de la barca y hallarán. [La] echaron y ya no podían arrastrarla por la gran cantidad de peces [que contenía].
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].
Entonces el discípulo a quien Jesús amaba, dijo a Pedro: ¡Es el Señor! Cuando Simón Pedro oyó: Es el Señor, se ató el manto externo, pues se había despojado de él, y se lanzó al mar.
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.
Los otros discípulos llegaron en la barquilla y arrastraban la red de los peces, pues estaban como a 90 metros de la tierra.
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.
Al desembarcar, vieron brasas con un pescado encima, y pan.
10 Jesus said to us, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught!”
Jesús les ordenó: Traigan unos peces de los que acaban de pescar.
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.
Simón Pedro subió y arrastró la red llena de grandes peces a tierra. Eran 153. Aunque eran tantos, la red no se rompió.
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.
Jesús les dijo: Vengan, coman. Al entender que era el Señor, ninguno de los discípulos se atrevía a preguntarle: ¿Quién eres Tú?
13 Jesus took the buns and gave them to us. He did the same with the fish.
Entonces Jesús tomó el pan y el pescado y les dio.
14 That was the third time that Jesus appeared to [us] disciples after [God] caused him to become alive again after he died.
Ésta fue la tercera vez que Jesús se manifestó a los discípulos después de ser resucitado de entre [los] muertos.
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.”
Cuando desayunaron Jesús le preguntó a Simón Pedro: Simón, [hijo] de Juan, ¿me amas más que éstos? Le respondió: Sí, Señor, Tú sabes que te tengo afecto. Le dijo: Apacienta mis corderos.
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.”
Otra vez le preguntó: Simón, [hijo] de Juan, ¿me amas? Le respondió: Sí, Señor, Tú sabes que te tengo afecto. Le dijo: Pastorea mis ovejas.
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.
Le preguntó la tercera vez: Simón, [hijo] de Juan, ¿me tienes afecto? Pedro se entristeció porque le preguntó la tercera vez: ¿me tienes afecto? Y le respondió: Señor, Tú sabes que te tengo afecto. Tú conoces todas las cosas. Le dijo: Apacienta mis ovejas.
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].”
En verdad, en verdad te digo: Cuando eras más joven, te vestías y caminabas a donde querías. Pero cuando envejezcas, extenderás tus manos, te vestirá otro y te llevará a donde no quieres.
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].”
Esto dijo para dar a entender cómo glorificaría a Dios con su muerte. Luego le ordenó: Sígueme.
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?”
Pedro se volvió y vio que los seguía el discípulo a quien Jesús amaba, el que en la cena se reclinó a su lado y preguntó: Señor, ¿quién es el que te entrega?
21 When Peter saw me, he asked, “Lord, what [is going to happen] to him?”
Entonces al verlo Pedro, le preguntó a Jesús: Señor, ¿y qué [dices] de éste?
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!”
Jesús le contestó: Si lo quiero dejar hasta que venga, ¿qué te importa? Sígueme tú.
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]”
Entre los hermanos salió el comentario que ese discípulo no moriría. Pero Jesús no le dijo: No morirás, sino: Si lo quiero dejar hasta que venga.
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.
Éste es el discípulo que da testimonio de estas cosas y quien las escribió. Y sabemos que su testimonio es verdadero.
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].
También Jesús hizo muchas otras cosas, las cuales, si se escribieran una por una, supongo que en el mundo no cabrían los rollos escritos.
