eng: When they had done this, they caught a great multitude of fish, and their net was breaking.

abt: Wunga watake aaswut vaanjande asa gukwami wa wuréndarén. Wuréndaka aaswut tékngé tékngé yan.


eng: Simon answered him, “Master, we worked all night and caught nothing; but at your word I will let down the net.”
