Here, the phrase Come after me is a command to travel with Jesus and be his disciples. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Be my disciples] or [Travel with me as my students]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

δεῦτε & ὑμᾶς

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς Δεῦτε ὀπίσω μού καί ποιήσω ὑμᾶς γενέσθαι ἁλεεῖς ἀνθρώπων)

Since Jesus is speaking to Simon and Andrew, the command Come and the word you are plural.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ποιήσω ὑμᾶς γενέσθαι ἁλιεῖς ἀνθρώπων

˱I˲_˓will_be˒_making you_all ˓to˒_become (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς Δεῦτε ὀπίσω μού καί ποιήσω ὑμᾶς γενέσθαι ἁλεεῖς ἀνθρώπων)

Here Jesus speaks of preaching the gospel and helping people believe in Jesus as if it were fishing. He means that, just as fishermen catch many fish, so Simon and Andrew will help many people believe. If possible, preserve the metaphor here, since it relates directly to what Simon and Andrew were doing when Jesus saw them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea as a simile. Alternate translation: [I will make you to become people who collect men for me, just as you now collect fish]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ἀνθρώπων

˱of˲_people

Although the term men is masculine, Jesus is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: [of humans] or [of men and women]
