21:1
Μετὰ ταῦτα ἐφανέρωσεν ἑαυτὸν πάλιν Ἰησοῦς τοῖς μαθηταῖς ἐπὶ τῆς θαλάσσης τῆς Τιβεριάδος· ἐφανέρωσεν δὲ οὕτως.
Postea manifestavit se iterum Jesus discipulis ad mare Tiberiadis. Manifestavit autem sic :
ወእምዝ ካዕበ አስተርአዮሙ እግዚእ ኢየሱስ ለአርዳኢሁ በብሔረ ጥብርያዶስ።
After these things, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself this way.
21:2
ἦσαν ὁμοῦ Σίμων Πέτρος καὶ Θωμᾶς ὁ λεγόμενος Δίδυμος καὶ Ναθαναὴλ ὁ ἀπὸ Κανᾶ τῆς Γαλιλαίας καὶ οἱ τοῦ Ζεβεδαίου καὶ ἄλλοι ἐκ τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ δύο.
erant simul Simon Petrus, et Thomas, qui dicitur Didymus, et Nathanaël, qui erat a Cana Galilaeae, et filii Zebedaei, et alii ex discipulis ejus duo.
ወከመዝ አስተርአዮሙ እንዘ ሀለዉ ኅቡረ ስምዖን ጴጥሮስ ወቶማስ ዘይብልዎ ዲዲሞስ ወናትናኤል ዘቃና ዘገሊላ ወደቂቀ ዘብዴዎስ ወዓዲ ካልኣን ክልኤቱ እምውስተ አርዳኢሁ።
Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together.
21:3
λέγει αὐτοῖς Σίμων Πέτρος· ὑπάγω ἁλιεύειν. λέγουσιν αὐτῷ· ἐρχόμεθα καὶ ἡμεῖς σὺν σοί. ἐξῆλθον καὶ ἐνέβησαν εἰς τὸ πλοῖον, καὶ ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ νυκτὶ ἐπίασαν οὐδέν.
Dicit eis Simon Petrus : Vado piscari. Dicunt ei : Venimus et nos tecum. Et exierunt, et ascenderunt in navim : et illa nocte nihil prendiderunt.
ወይቤሎሙ ስምዖን ጴጥሮስ አንሰ አሐውር ከመ አሥግር ዓሣ ወይቤልዎ ካልኣኒሁ አርዳእ ንሕነኒ ንመጽእ ምስሌከ ወሖሩ ወዐርጉ ሐመረ ወአልቦ ዘአሥገሩ በይእቲ ሌሊት ወኢምንተኒ።
Simon Peter said to them, “I’m going fishing.” They told him, “We are also coming with you.” They immediately went out and entered into the boat. That night, they caught nothing.
21:4
πρωΐας δὲ ἤδη γινομένης ἔστη Ἰησοῦς ἐπὶ τὸν αἰγιαλόν· οὐ μέντοι ᾔδεισαν οἱ μαθηταὶ ὅτι Ἰησοῦς ἐστίν.
Mane autem facto stetit Jesus in littore : non tamen cognoverunt discipuli quia Jesus est.
ወጸቢሖ ይቀውም እግዚእ ኢየሱስ ውስተ ሐይቅ ወርእይዎ አርዳኢሁ ወኢያእመሩ ከመ እግዚእ ኢየሱስ ውእቱ።
But when day had already come, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples didn’t know that it was Jesus.
21:5
λέγει οὖν αὐτοῖς Ἰησοῦς· παιδία, μή τι προσφάγιον ἔχετε; ἀπεκρίθησαν αὐτῷ· οὔ.
Dixit ergo eis Jesus : Pueri, numquid pulmentarium habetis ? Responderunt ei : Non.
ወይቤሎሙ እግዚእ ኢየሱስ ደቂቅየ ቦኑ ብክሙ ዘንበልዕ ወይቤልዎ አልቦ።
Jesus therefore said to them, “Children, have you anything to eat?” They answered him, “No.”
21:6
λέγει αὐτοῖς· βάλετε εἰς τὰ δεξιὰ μέρη τοῦ πλοίου τὸ δίκτυον, καὶ εὑρήσετε. ἔβαλον οὖν, καὶ οὐκέτι αὐτὸ ἑλκύσαι ἴσχυον ἀπὸ τοῦ πλήθους τῶν ἰχθύων.
Dicit eis : Mittite in dexteram navigii rete, et invenietis. Miserunt ergo : et jam non valebant illud trahere prae multitudine piscium.
ወይቤሎሙ እግዚእ ኢየሱስ አውርዱ መሣግሪክሙ ኀበ ይምነ ሐመር ወትረክቡ ብዙኀ ወይቤልዎ ሰራሕነ ኵላ ሌሊተ ወአልቦ ዘረከብነ ወኢምንተኒ ወበቃልከሰ ናወርድ ወአውሪዶሙ መሣግሪሆሙ ስእኑ እንከ ስሒበ እምብዝኀ ዓሣት ዘተሠግረ።
He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” They cast it therefore, and now they weren’t able to draw it in for the multitude of fish.
21:7
λέγει οὖν ὁ μαθητὴς ἐκεῖνος ὃν ἠγάπα ὁ Ἰησοῦς τῷ Πέτρῳ· ὁ κύριός ἐστιν. Σίμων οὖν Πέτρος, ἀκούσας ὅτι ὁ κύριός ἐστιν, τὸν ἐπενδύτην διεζώσατο, ἦν γὰρ γυμνός, καὶ ἔβαλεν ἑαυτὸν εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν·
Dixit ergo discipulus ille, quem diligebat Jesus, Petro : Dominus est. Simon Petrus cum audisset quia Dominus est, tunica succinxit se (erat enim nudus) et misit se in mare.
ወይቤሎ ለጴጥሮስ ዝኩ ካልእ ረድእ ዘያፈቅሮ እግዚእ ኢየሱስ እግዚእነ ውእቱ ወሰሚዖ ስምዖን ጴጥሮስ ከመ እግዚእነ ውእቱ ነሥአ ዐራዞ ሰንዱነ ዘይትዐጸፍ ወቀነተ ውስተ ሐቌሁ እስመ ዕራቁ ውእቱ ወተወርወ ውስተ ባሕር።
That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It’s the Lord!” So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he wrapped his coat around himself (for he was naked), and threw himself into the sea.
21:8
οἱ δὲ ἄλλοι μαθηταὶ τῷ πλοιαρίῳ ἦλθον, οὐ γὰρ ἦσαν μακρὰν ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς ἀλλὰ ὡς ἀπὸ πηχῶν διακοσίων, σύροντες τὸ δίκτυον τῶν ἰχθύων.
Alii autem discipuli navigio venerunt (non enim longe erant a terra, sed quasi cubitis ducentis), trahentes rete piscium.

But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits away), dragging the net full of fish.
21:9
ὡς οὖν ἀπέβησαν εἰς τὴν γῆν, βλέπουσιν ἀνθρακιὰν κειμένην καὶ ὀψάριον ἐπικείμενον καὶ ἄρτον.
Ut ergo descenderunt in terram, viderunt prunas positas, et piscem superpositum, et panem.
ወወሪዶሙ ምድረ ረከቡ ፍሕመ ብቍጸ ወዓሣ ጥቡሰ ወኅብስተ ሥሩዐ።
So when they got out on the land, they saw a fire of coals there, with fish and bread laid on it.
21:10
λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ἐνέγκατε ἀπὸ τῶν ὀψαρίων ὧν ἐπιάσατε νῦν.
Dicit eis Jesus : Afferte de piscibus, quos prendidistis nunc.
ወይቤሎሙ እግዚእ ኢየሱስ አምጽኡ እምዓሣት ዘአኀዝክሙ ይእዜ።
Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.”
21:11
ἀνέβη Σίμων Πέτρος καὶ εἵλκυσεν τὸ δίκτυον εἰς τὴν γῆν μεστὸν ἰχθύων μεγάλων ἑκατὸν πεντήκοντα τριῶν· καὶ τοσούτων ὄντων οὐκ ἐσχίσθη τὸ δίκτυον.
Ascendit Simon Petrus et traxit rete in terram, plenum magnis piscibus centum quinquaginta tribus. Et cum tanti essent, non est scissum rete.
ወዐርገ ስምዖን ጴጥሮስ ውስተ ሐመር ወሰሐበ መሥገርተ ውስተ ምድር ዘምሉእ ውስቴቱ ዓሣተ ዐበይተ ምእተ ወኀምሳ ወሠለስተ ወእንዘ መጠነዝ ብዙኁ ኢተሠጠ መሥገርቱ።
Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land, full of one hundred fifty-three great fish. Even though there were so many, the net wasn’t torn.
21:12
λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· δεῦτε ἀριστήσατε. οὐδεὶς δὲ ἐτόλμα τῶν μαθητῶν ἐξετάσαι αὐτόν· σὺ τίς εἶ; εἰδότες ὅτι ὁ κύριός ἐστιν.
Dicit eis Jesus : Venite, prandete. Et nemo audebat discumbentium interrogare eum : Tu quis es ? scientes, quia Dominus est.
ወይቤሎሙ እግዚእ ኢየሱስ ንዑ ንምሳሕ ወአልቦ ዘተኀበለ እምአርዳኢሁ ይሰአሎ ወይበሎ መኑ አንተ እስመ አእመሩ ከመ እግዚእነ ውእቱ።
Jesus said to them, “Come and eat breakfast!” None of the disciples dared inquire of him, “Who are you?” knowing that it was the Lord.
21:13
ἔρχεται Ἰησοῦς καὶ λαμβάνει τὸν ἄρτον καὶ δίδωσιν αὐτοῖς, καὶ τὸ ὀψάριον ὁμοίως.
Et venit Jesus, et accipit panem, et dat eis, et piscem similiter.
ወመጽአ እግዚእ ኢየሱስ ወነሥአ ኅብስተ ወወሀቦሙ ወእምዓሣሁኒ ከማሁ።
Then Jesus came and took the bread, gave it to them, and the fish likewise.
21:14
τοῦτο ἤδη τρίτον ἐφανερώθη Ἰησοῦς τοῖς μαθηταῖς ἐγερθεὶς ἐκ νεκρῶν.
Hoc jam tertio manifestatus est Jesus discipulis suis cum resurrexisset a mortuis.
ወዝንቱ ሣልሱ እንዘ ያስተርእዮሙ እግዚእ ኢየሱስ ለአርዳኢሁ ተንሢኦ እምነ ምዉታን።
This is now the third time that Jesus was revealed to his disciples after he had risen from the dead.
21:15
Ὅτε οὖν ἠρίστησαν, λέγει τῷ Σίμωνι Πέτρῳ ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Σίμων Ἰωάννου, ἀγαπᾷς με πλέον τούτων; λέγει αὐτῷ· ναί κύριε, σὺ οἶδας ὅτι φιλῶ σε. λέγει αὐτῷ· βόσκε τὰ ἀρνία μου.
Cum ergo prandissent, dicit Simoni Petro Jesus : Simon Joannis, diligis me plus his ? Dicit ei : Etiam Domine, tu scis quia amo te. Dicit ei : Pasce agnos meos.
ወእምድኅረ መስሑ ይቤሎ እግዚእ ኢየሱስ ለስምዖን ጴጥሮስ ስምዖን ወልደ ዮና ታፈቅረኒኑ ፈድፋደ እምእሉ ወይቤሎ እወ እግዚኦ ለሊከ ተአምር ከመ አነ አፈቅረከ ወይቤሎ እግዚእ ኢየሱስ ረዐይኬ አባግዕየ።
So when they had eaten their breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.”
21:16
λέγει αὐτῷ πάλιν δεύτερον· Σίμων Ἰωάννου, ἀγαπᾷς με; λέγει αὐτῷ· ναί κύριε, σὺ οἶδας ὅτι φιλῶ σε. λέγει αὐτῷ· ποίμαινε τὰ προβάτιά μου.
Dicit ei iterum : Simon Joannis, diligis me ? Ait illi : Etiam Domine, tu scis quia amo te. Dicit ei : Pasce agnos meos.
ወካዕበ ይቤሎ ዳግመ ስምዖን ወልደ ዮና ታፈቅረኒኑ ወይቤሎ እወ እግዚኦ አንተ ተአምር ከመ አነ አፈቅረከ ወይቤሎ ረዐይኬ መሐስእየ።
He said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you.” He said to him, “Tend my sheep.”
21:17
λέγει αὐτῷ τὸ τρίτον· Σίμων Ἰωάννου, φιλεῖς με; ἐλυπήθη ὁ Πέτρος ὅτι εἶπεν αὐτῷ τὸ τρίτον· φιλεῖς με; καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ· κύριε, πάντα σὺ οἶδας, σὺ γινώσκεις ὅτι φιλῶ σε. λέγει αὐτῷ· βόσκε τὰ προβάτιά μου.
Dicit ei tertio : Simon Joannis, amas me ? Contristatus est Petrus, quia dixit ei tertio : Amas me ? et dixit ei : Domine, tu omnia nosti, tu scis quia amo te. Dixit ei : Pasce oves meas.
ወይቤሎ ሥልሰ ስምዖን ወልደ ዮና ታፈቅረኒኑ ወተከዘ ጴጥሮስ እስመ ይቤሎ ሥልሰ ታፈቅረኒኑ ወይቤሎ እግዚኦ ለሊከ ተአምር ኵሎ ወለሊከ ትጤይቅ ከመ አነ አፈቅረከ ወይቤሎ ረዐይኬ አባግዕትየ።
He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you have affection for me?” Peter was grieved because he asked him the third time, “Do you have affection for me?” He said to him, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I have affection for you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.
21:18
ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω σοι, ὅτε ἦς νεώτερος, ἐζώννυες σεαυτὸν καὶ περιεπάτεις ὅπου ἤθελες· ὅταν δὲ γηράσῃς, ἐκτενεῖς τὰς χεῖράς σου, καὶ ἄλλος σε ζώσει καὶ οἴσει ὅπου οὐ θέλεις.
Amen, amen dico tibi : cum esses junior, cingebas te, et ambulabas ubi volebas : cum autem senueris, extendes manus tuas, et alius te cinget, et ducet quo tu non vis.

Most certainly I tell you, when you were young, you dressed yourself and walked where you wanted to. But when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you don’t want to go.”
21:19
τοῦτο δὲ εἶπεν σημαίνων ποίῳ θανάτῳ δοξάσει τὸν θεόν. καὶ τοῦτο εἰπὼν λέγει αὐτῷ· ἀκολούθει μοι.
Hoc autem dixit significans qua morte clarificaturus esset Deum. Et cum hoc dixisset, dicit ei : Sequere me.
ወዘንተ ይቤሎ እንዘ ይኤምሮ በአይ ሞት ሀለዎ ይሰብሖ ለእግዚአብሔር ወዘንተ ብሂሎ ይቤሎ ትልወኒ።
Now he said this, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. When he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me.”
21:20
ἐπιστραφεὶς ὁ Πέτρος βλέπει τὸν μαθητὴν ὃν ἠγάπα ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἀκολουθοῦντα, ὃς καὶ ἀνέπεσεν ἐν τῷ δείπνῳ ἐπὶ τὸ στῆθος αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν· κύριε, τίς ἐστιν ὁ παραδιδούς σε;
Conversus Petrus vidit illum discipulum, quem diligebat Jesus, sequentem, qui et recubuit in coena super pectus ejus, et dixit : Domine, quis est qui tradet te ?
ወተመዪጦ ጴጥሮስ ርእዮ ለዝኩ ረድእ ዘያፈቅሮ እግዚእ ኢየሱስ እንዘ ይተልዎ ወውእቱ ረድእ ዘረፈቀ ዲበ እንግድዓሁ ለእግዚእ ኢየሱስ እንዘ ይዴረሩ ወዘይቤሎ እግዚኦ መኑ ውእቱ ዘያገብአከ።
Then Peter, turning around, saw a disciple following. This was the disciple whom Jesus loved, the one who had also leaned on Jesus’ chest at the supper and asked, “Lord, who is going to betray you?”
21:21
τοῦτον οὖν ἰδὼν ὁ Πέτρος λέγει τῷ Ἰησοῦ· κύριε οὗτος δὲ τί;
Hunc ergo cum vidisset Petrus, dixit Jesu : Domine, hic autem quid ?
ወኪያሁ ርእዮ ጴጥሮስ ይቤሎ ለእግዚእ ኢየሱስ እግዚኦ ዝኬ እፎ።
Peter, seeing him, said to Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?”
21:22
λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ἐὰν αὐτὸν θέλω μένειν ἕως ἔρχομαι, τί πρὸς σέ; σύ μοι ἀκολούθει.
Dicit ei Jesus : Sic eum volo manere donec veniam, quid ad te ? tu me sequere.
ወይቤሎ እግዚእ ኢየሱስ እመኬ ፈቀድኩ የሀሉ እስከ ሶበ እመጽእ ሚ ላዕሌከ ወአንተሰ ትልወኒ።
Jesus said to him, “If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you? You follow me.”
21:23
ἐξῆλθεν οὖν οὗτος ὁ λόγος εἰς τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς ὅτι ὁ μαθητὴς ἐκεῖνος οὐκ ἀποθνήσκει· καὶ οὐκ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ὅτι οὐκ ἀποθνήσκει, ἀλλ’· ἐὰν αὐτὸν θέλω μένειν ἕως ἔρχομαι.
Exiit ergo sermo iste inter fratres quia discipulus ille non moritur. Et non dixit ei Jesus : Non moritur, sed : Sic eum volo manere donec veniam, quid ad te ?
ወወፅአ ዝንቱ ነገር በኀበ አኀው ከመ ውእቱ ረድእ ኢይመውት ወባሕቱ እግዚእ ኢየሱስ ኢይቤሎ ኢይመውት አላ ይቤ እመ ፈቀድኩ የሀሉ እስከ ሶበ እመጽእ ሚ ላዕሌከ።
This saying therefore went out among the brothers that this disciple wouldn’t die. Yet Jesus didn’t say to him that he wouldn’t die, but, “If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you?”
21:24
Οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ μαθητὴς ὁ μαρτυρῶν περὶ τούτων καὶ γράψας ταῦτα, καὶ οἴδαμεν ὅτι ἀληθὴς αὐτοῦ ἡ μαρτυρία ἐστίν.
Hic est discipulus ille qui testimonium perhibet de his, et scripsit haec : et scimus quia verum est testimonium ejus.

This is the disciple who testifies about these things, and wrote these things. We know that his witness is true.
21:25
ἔστιν δὲ καὶ ἄλλα πολλὰ ἃ ἐποίησεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς, ἅτινα ἐὰν γράφηται καθ’ ἕν, οὐδ’ αὐτὸν οἶμαι τὸν κόσμον χωρήσειν τὰ γραφόμενα βιβλία.
Sunt autem et alia multa quae fecit Jesus : quae si scribantur per singula, nec ipsum arbitror mundum capere posse eos, qui scribendi sunt, libros.
ወዘንተ ገብረ እግዚእ ኢየሱስ ወቦ ባዕዳትኒ ብዙኃት ግብራት ዘገብረ እግዚእ ኢየሱስ ወሶበ ተጽሕፈ ኵሉ በበአሐዱ እምኢያግመሮ ዓለም ጥቀ ለመጻሕፍቲሁ ዘተጽሕፈ። መልአ ጽሕፈተ ብሥራቱ ለዮሐንስ ሐዋርያ ወልደ ዘብዴዎስ አሐዱ እም ዐሠርቱ ወክልኤቱ ሐዋርያት ዘጸሐፎ በልሳነ ዮናናውያን ለሰብአ ሀገረ ኤፌሶን እምድኅረ ዕርገቱ ለእግዚእነ በሥጋ ውስተ ሰማይ በሠላሳ ዓመት ወሰብዐቱ ዓመተ መንግሥቱ ለኔሮን ቄሳር ንጉሠ ሮም። ወስብሐት ለእግዚአብሔር አሜን።
There are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they would all be written, I suppose that even the world itself wouldn’t have room for the books that would be written.
