While the
crowd was pressing in on Jesus and listening to the word of God, he was
standing by the Lake of Gennesaret. He saw two boats there alongside the lake; the
fishermen had disembarked and were washing their nets. Getting into one of the
boats, the one belonging to Simon, he asked him to put out a short distance
from the shore. Then he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat. After he
had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and lower
your nets for a catch.” Simon said in reply, “Master, we have worked hard all
night and have caught nothing, but at your command I will lower the nets.” When
they had done this, they caught a great number of fish and their nets were
tearing. They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come to help
them. They came and filled both boats so that the boats were in danger of
sinking. When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at the knees of Jesus and said, “Depart
from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.” For astonishment at the catch of fish
they had made seized him and all those with him, and likewise James and John,
the sons of Zebedee, who were partners of Simon. Jesus said to Simon, “Do not
be afraid; from now on you will be catching men.” When they brought their boats
to the shore, they left everything and followed him.

nagtudlo si Jesus sa mga tawo sa baybay, nagpadangat pa gihapon Sija nan
milagro para sa mga tawo – nakabaling sila Simon sanan an ija mga kaiban nan
duro na isda gikan sa danaw nan Gennesaret.
Waya sila
magpalandong na makabaling sila nan mahamok na isda kay tibook duyom na man
kuno sila nan paningkamot na makabaling pero waya man gajud sila makakuha nan
isda.
Dinhi na
nagpadayag si Simon na Lord si Jesus kay nahideklarar man nija na makasasaya
sija na dili kuno sija angay na moatubang sa ija Lord.

tungora, magsugod na nan pagpangisda si Simon nan mga katawhan para sa kaharian
ni God.
