Yohanes 21
1 Emegbe la, Yesu gaɖe eɖokui fia eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo le Tiberias Ƒu la to.
After this Jesus again manifested himself to the disciples, by the Sea of Tiberias. He manifested himself in this way.
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 Didymus), Nathanael (from Cana of Galilee), the sons of Zebedee, and two of Jesus' other 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 said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “We will go with yoʋ.” So they immediately went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.
4 Le ŋdi me la, Yesu nɔ tsitre ɖe ƒua ta, gake nusrɔ̃lawo menya be Yesue nye ema o.
When daybreak came, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not know it was Jesus.
5 Yesu yɔ wo be, “Xɔ̃nyewo, mieɖe lã aɖeke oa?” Woɖo eŋu be, “Ao, míeɖe naneke o.”
Jesus said to them, “Children, have you caught any fish to eat?” 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.
He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it and were unable to draw it in because of the large number 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 the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he had taken it off) 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 small boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from shore, only about a hundred yards away.
9 Esi woɖi go la, wokpɔ be wodo dzo ɖe afi ma, nɔ lã aɖewo mem, eye abolo hã kpe ɖe eŋu.
When they had gone ashore, they saw a charcoal fire there with a fish lying on it, and bread.
10 Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Mitsɔ lã si mieɖe fifia la ƒe ɖe vɛ.”
Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just now 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.
So Simon Peter went aboard and drew the net ashore, full of large fish, one hundred fifty-three of them. Although there were so many, the net had 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.
Then Jesus said to them, “Come eat breakfast.” Now none of the disciples dared to ask him, “Who are yoʋ?” because they knew it was the Lord.
13 Yesu va tsɔ abolo la kple lã la na wo.
Then Jesus came, took the bread, and gave it to them. He did likewise with the fish.
14 Esia nye zi etɔ̃lia Yesu ɖe eɖokui fia nusrɔ̃lawo esi wòfɔ tso ame kukuwo dome.
This was now the third time that Jesus had been revealed to his disciples after he had been raised from 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.”
When they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do yoʋ love me more than these?” Peter said to him, “Yes, Lord, yoʋ know that I care for yoʋ.” Jesus said 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.”
Jesus said to him a second time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do yoʋ love me?” Peter said to him, “Yes, Lord, yoʋ know that I care for yoʋ.” Jesus said to him, “Tend 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.
Then Jesus said to him the third time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do yoʋ care for me?” Peter was grieved that Jesus said to him the third time, “Do yoʋ care for me?” And he said to him, “Lord, yoʋ know everything; yoʋ know that I care for yoʋ.” Jesus said 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.”
Truly, truly, I say to yoʋ, when yoʋ were younger, yoʋ would dress yoʋrself and walk wherever yoʋ wanted to go; but when yoʋ grow old, yoʋ will stretch out yoʋr hands, and another will dress yoʋ and bring yoʋ where yoʋ do not want to go.”
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 Peter would glorify God.) After saying this, he said to Peter, “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?”)
Then Peter turned around and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them (the one who had leaned back on Jesus' chest at the supper and said, “Lord, who is it that is going to betray yoʋ?”)
21 Esi Petro kpɔe la, ebia be, “Aƒetɔ, ekema ame sia ya ɖe?”
When Peter saw him, he said 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 said to him, “If I wish for him to remain until I come, what is that to yoʋ? Yoʋ 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 the rumor spread among the brothers that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not tell him that he would not die; he only said, “If I wish for him to remain until I come, what is that to yoʋ?”
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 about these things and who has written these things, 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.
There are also many other things that Jesus did. If every one of them were to be written down, I suppose that not even the world itself would have room for the books that would be written. Amen.
