Yohanes 21
1 Emegbe la, Yesu gaɖe eɖokui fia eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo le Tiberias Ƒu la to.
After these things Jesus, risen from the dead, revealed Himself to His disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and He did it like this:
2 Eva dzɔ be, Simɔn Petro, Toma (si wogayɔna be Didymus), Nataniel si tso Kana le Galilea kple Zebedeo ƒe viwo hekpe ɖe nusrɔ̃la eve bubu ŋu wonɔ ƒuta.
Simon Peter, Thomas (called Twin), Nathanael (from Cana of Galilee), Zebedee's sons and two others of His disciples were together.
3 Simɔn Petro gblɔ be, “Meyina tɔƒo.” Wogblɔ be, “Míayi kpli wò.” Ale woyi ɖage ɖe tɔdziʋu la me, gake womeɖe lã aɖeke le zã ma me o.
Simon Peter says to them, “I'm going fishing.” They say to him, “We're coming with you.” Off they went and got right into the boat, and that whole night they caught nothing.
4 Le ŋdi me la, Yesu nɔ tsitre ɖe ƒua ta, gake nusrɔ̃lawo menya be Yesue nye ema o.
Well when daybreak had now come Jesus stood on the beach; however the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.
5 Yesu yɔ wo be, “Xɔ̃nyewo, mieɖe lã aɖeke oa?” Woɖo eŋu be, “Ao, míeɖe naneke o.”
Then Jesus says to them, “Boys, you don't have any food, do you?” They answered Him, “No.”
6 Egblɔ na wo be, “Mida miaƒe ɖɔ la ɖe ʋua ƒe nuɖusime lɔƒo, eye miaɖe lã.” Esi woda ɖɔa la, woɖe lã fũu ale gbegbe be womete ŋu he ɖɔ la o.
So He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat and you will find.” So they did, and now they were unable to haul it in because of the multitude of fish!
7 Ale nusrɔ̃la si Yesu lɔ̃na vevie la gblɔ na Simɔn Petro be, “Kpɔ ɖa, Aƒetɔ lae!” Esi Petro se nya sia teti ko la, etsɔ eƒe awu do kaba (elabena eɖee), eye wòti kpo dze tɔ la me.
Then that disciple whom Jesus loved says to Peter, “It's the Lord!” Upon hearing that it was the Lord, Simon Peter tied on his outer garment (for he was stripped) and plunged into the sea.
8 Nusrɔ̃la mamlɛawo nɔ ʋu la me dze eyome, eye wohe ɖɔ si yɔ fũu kple lã la, elabena gota medidi tso wo gbɔ o; anɔ abe mita alafa ɖeka ko ene.
But the other disciples came in the little boat dragging the net with the fish (for they were not far from the land, but about 100 yards).
9 Esi woɖi go la, wokpɔ be wodo dzo ɖe afi ma, nɔ lã aɖewo mem, eye abolo hã kpe ɖe eŋu.
Then, as they stepped onto the land they saw a charcoal fire in place with fish lying on it, and bread.
10 Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Mitsɔ lã si mieɖe fifia la ƒe ɖe vɛ.”
Jesus says to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught.”
11 Simɔn Petro ge ɖe ʋu la me, eye wòkpe ɖe wo ŋu wohe ɖɔ la va gota. Lã gãwo yɔ ɖɔ la fũu eye esi woxlẽ wo la, wonɔ alafa ɖeka blaatɔ̃-vɔ-etɔ̃ gake ɖɔ la mevuvu o.
Simon Peter got up and dragged the net onto the land, full of one hundred and fifty-three large fish; and although being so many, the net was not torn.
12 Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Miva ɖu nu.” Ke wo dometɔ aɖeke mete ŋu biae be, “Ame ka nènye” o. Wonya be Aƒetɔ lae.
Jesus says to them, “Come have breakfast!” Well not one of the disciples dared to ask Him, “Who are you?”—knowing that it was the Lord.
13 Yesu va tsɔ abolo la kple lã la na wo.
Then Jesus comes and takes the bread and gives it to them, as also the fish.
14 Esia nye zi etɔ̃lia Yesu ɖe eɖokui fia nusrɔ̃lawo esi wòfɔ tso ame kukuwo dome.
This was already a third time that Jesus appeared to His disciples after He was raised from among the dead.
15 Esi woɖu nua vɔ la, Yesu bia Simɔn Petro be, “Simɔn, Yohanes ƒe vi, èlɔ̃m wu ame siawoa?” Petro ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Ɛ̃, Aƒetɔ, ènya be melɔ̃ ye.” Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Ekema nyi nye alẽawo.”
So, when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus says to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than these?” He says to Him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I'm fond of you.” He says to him, “Feed my lambs.”
16 Yesu gabiae be, “Simɔn, Yohanes ƒe vi, elɔ̃m vavã?” Petro ɖo eŋu be, “Ɛ̃, Aƒetɔ, ènya be melɔ̃ ye.” Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Ekema lé be na nye alẽawo.”
He says to him again, a second time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me?” He says to Him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I'm fond of you.” He says to him, “Shepherd my sheep.”
17 Yesu gabiae zi etɔ̃lia be, “Simɔn, Yohanes ƒe vi, èlɔ̃m mahã?” Biabia etɔ̃lia sia ve Petro, elabena Yesu biae zi etɔ̃lia be, “Èlɔ̃m mahã?” Ke Petro ɖo eŋu be, “Aƒetɔ, ènya nu sia nu, eye ènya be melɔ̃ ye.” Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Nyi nye alẽawo.
The third time He says to him, “Simon, son of Jonah, are you fond of me?” Peter was grieved in that the third time He said to him, “Are you fond of me?” and said to Him: “Lord, you know all things. You know that I'm fond of you!” Jesus says to him: “Feed my sheep.
18 Mele egblɔm na wò le nyateƒe me be, esi nènye ɖekakpui la, wò ŋutɔ èdoa awu hedoa go yia afi si nèlɔ̃ la, gake ne èku amegã la, àkɔ wò abɔwo dzi, eye ame bubu nado awu na wò, eye wòakplɔ wò ayi afi si mèdi be yeayi o la.”
Most assuredly I say to you, when you were younger you used to get dressed and walk where you wished; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands and another will dress you and carry you where you do not wish.”
19 Yesu gblɔ nya sia nɛ be wòatsɔ afia ku si ƒomevi ku ge wòala atsɔ aɖe Mawu ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe afia. Emegbe la, Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Dze yonyeme.”
(He said this to indicate the kind of death by which he would glorify God.) And upon saying that He says to him, “Follow me!”
20 Esi Petro trɔ la, ekpɔ nusrɔ̃la si Yesu lɔ̃na la wòkplɔ wo ɖo. (Nusrɔ̃la siae ziɔ ɖe Yesu ŋu le nuɖuƒe la hebiae be, “Aƒetɔ, mía dometɔ kae ade wò asi?”)
But turning around Peter sees the disciple whom Jesus loved following (that is the one who reclined on His chest at the supper and said, “Lord, who is the one who is betraying you?”).
21 Esi Petro kpɔe la, ebia be, “Aƒetɔ, ekema ame sia ya ɖe?”
Seeing him, Peter says to Jesus, “Lord, what about him?”
22 Yesu ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Ne medi be wòanɔ agbe va se ɖe esime matrɔ ava la, wò nyaea? Wò la dze yonyeme.”
Jesus says to him: “If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me.”
23 Ke nya sia kaka ɖe nɔvia nusrɔ̃la bubuwo dome be nusrɔ̃la sia mele kuku ge o. Ke Yesu megblɔ be mele kuku ge o; ɖeko wògblɔ be, “Ne medi be wòanɔ agbe va se ɖe esime matrɔ ava la, wò nyaea?”
So this saying spread among the brothers, that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not say to him [Peter] that he [John] would not die, but, “If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?”
24 Nusrɔ̃la siae ɖi ɖase tso nu siawo ŋuti. Ekpɔ nu siawo katã teƒe tsitotsito, eye wòŋlɔ wo da ɖi. Eye mí katã míenya be eƒe ɖaseɖiɖi nye nyateƒe.
This is the disciple who is testifying to these things, and who wrote them; and we know that his testimony is true.
25 Yesu wɔ nu bubu geɖewo hã. Ne woaŋlɔ wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe da ɖi la, mesusu be xexea me katã gɔ̃ hã melolo agbalẽ siawo nanɔ o.
Indeed, there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that not even the whole world could contain the books that would be written! Amen.
