يوحنَّا 15

١ 1 أَنَا الْكَرْمَةُ الْحَقِيقِيَّةُ، وَأَبِي هُوَ الْكَرَّامُ.

I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer.

٢ 2 كُلُّ غُصْنٍ فِيَّ لَا يُنْتِجُ ثَمَراً يَقْطَعُهُ؛ وَكُلُّ غُصْنٍ يُنْتِجُ ثَمَراً يُنَقِّيهِ لِيُنْتِجَ مَزِيداً مِنَ الثَّمَرِ.

Every branch in me that bears not fruit he takes away: and every branch that bears fruit, he purges it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

٣ 3 أَنْتُمُ الآنَ أَنْقِيَاءُ بِسَبَبِ الْكَلِمَةِ الَّتِي خَاطَبْتُكُمْ بِها.

Now all of you are clean through the word (logos) which I have spoken unto you.

٤ 4 فَاثْبُتُوا فِيَّ وَأَنَا فِيكُمْ. كَمَا أَنَّ الْغُصْنَ لَا يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يُنْتِجَ ثَمَراً إِلّا إِذَا ثَبَتَ فِي الْكَرْمَةِ؛ فَكَذلِكَ أَنْتُمْ، إِلّا إِذَا ثَبَتُّمْ فِيَّ.

Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can all of you, except all of you abide in me.

٥ 5 أَنَا الْكَرْمَةُ وَأَنْتُمُ الأَغْصَانُ. مَنْ يَثْبُتُ فِيَّ وَأَنَا فِيهِ، فَذَاكَ يُنْتِجُ ثَمَراً كَثِيراً. فَإِنَّكُمْ بِمَعْزِلٍ عَنِّي لَا تَقْدِرُونَ أَنْ تَفْعَلُوا شَيْئاً.

I am the vine, all of you are the branches: He that abides in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit: for without me all of you can do nothing.

٦ 6 إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ لَا يَثْبُتُ فِيَّ يُطْرَحُ خَارِجاً كَالْغُصْنِ فَيَجِفُّ؛ ثُمَّ تُجْمَعُ الأَغْصَانُ الْجَافَّةُ، وَتُطْرَحُ فِي النَّارِ فَتَحْتَرِقُ.

If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

٧ 7 وَلكِنْ، إِنْ ثَبَتُّمْ فِيَّ، وَثَبَتَ كَلامِي فِيكُمْ، فَاطْلُبُوا مَا تُرِيدُونَ يَكُنْ لَكُمْ.

If all of you abide in me, and my words (rhema) abide in you, all of you shall ask what all of you will, and it shall be done unto you.

٨ 8 بِهَذَا يَتَمَجَّدُ أَبِي: أَنْ تُنْتِجُوا ثَمَراً كَثِيراً فَتَكُونُوا حَقّاً تَلامِيذِي.

Herein is my Father glorified, that all of you bear much fruit; so shall all of you be my disciples.

٩ 9 مِثْلَمَا أَحَبَّنِي الآبُ، أَحْبَبْتُكُمْ أَنَا، فَاثْبُتُوا فِي مَحَبَّتِي.

As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you: continue all of you in my love. (agape)

١٠ 10 إِنْ عَمِلْتُمْ بِوَصَايَايَ، تَثْبُتُونَ فِي مَحَبَّتِي، كَمَا عَمِلْتُ أَنَا بِوَصَايَا أَبِي وَأَثْبُتُ فِي مَحَبَّتِهِ!

If all of you keep my commandments, all of you shall abide in my love; (agape) even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. (agape)

١١ 11 قُلْتُ لَكُمْ هَذَا لِيَكُونَ فِيكُمْ فَرَحِي، وَيَكُونَ فَرَحُكُمْ كَامِلاً.

These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

١٢ 12 وَصِيَّتِي لَكُمْ هِيَ هذِهِ: أَنْ يُحِبَّ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضاً كَمَا أَنَا أَحْبَبْتُكُمْ.

This is my commandment, That all of you love one another, as I have loved you.

١٣ 13 لَيْسَ لأَحَدٍ مَحَبَّةٌ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ هذِهِ: أَنْ يَبْذِلَ أَحَدٌ حَيَاتَهُ فِدَى أَحِبَّائِهِ.

Greater love (agape) has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

١٤ 14 وَأَنْتُمْ أَحِبَّائِي إِنْ عَمِلْتُمْ بِمَا أُوصِيكُمْ بِهِ.

All of you are my friends, if all of you do whatsoever I command you.

١٥ 15 لَا أُسَمِّيكُمْ عَبِيداً بَعْدُ، لأَنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَا يُطْلِعُهُ سَيِّدُهُ عَلَى مَا يَفْعَلُهُ. وَلكِنِّي قَدْ سَمَّيْتُكُمْ أَحِبَّاءَ لأَنِّي أَطْلَعْتُكُمْ عَلَى كُلِّ مَا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ أَبِي.

Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knows not what his lord does: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

١٦ 16 لَيْسَ أَنْتُمُ اخْتَرْتُمُونِي، بَلْ أَنَا اخْتَرْتُكُمْ وَعَيَّنْتُكُمْ لِتَنْطَلِقُوا وَتُنْتِجُوا ثَمَراً وَيَدُومَ ثَمَرُكُمْ، فَيُعْطِيَكُمُ الآبُ كُلَّ مَا تَطْلُبُونَهُ بِاسْمِي.

All of you have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that all of you should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever all of you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

١٧ 17 فَبِهَذَا أُوصِيكُمْ إِذَنْ: أَنْ تُحِبُّوا بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضاً.

These things I command you, that all of you love one another.

١٨ 18 إِنْ أَبْغَضَكُمُ الْعَالَمُ، فَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّهُ قَدْ أَبْغَضَنِي مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ.

If the world hate you, all of you know that it hated me before it hated you.

١٩ 19 لَوْ كُنْتُمْ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعَالَمِ، لَكَانَ الْعَالَمُ يُحِبُّ أَهْلَهُ، وَلكِنْ لأَنَّكُمْ لَسْتُمْ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعَالَمِ، بَلْ إِنِّي اخْتَرْتُكُمْ مِنْ وَسْطِ الْعَالَمِ، لِذَلِكَ يُبْغِضُكُمُ الْعَالَمُ.

If all of you were of the world, the world would love his own: but because all of you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

٢٠ 20 اذْكُرُوا الْكَلِمَةَ الَّتِي قُلْتُهَا لَكُمْ: لَيْسَ عَبْدٌ أَعْظَمَ مِنْ سَيِّدِهِ. فَإِنْ كَانَ أَهْلُ الْعَالَمِ قَدِ اضْطَهَدُونِي، فَسَوْفَ يَضْطَهِدُونَكُمْ؛ وَإِنْ كَانُوا قَدْ عَمِلُوا بِكَلِمَتِي، فَسَوْفَ يَعْمَلُونَ بِكَلِمَتِكُمْ.

Remember the word (logos) that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, (logos) they will keep your also.

٢١ 21 وَلكِنَّهُمْ سَيَفْعَلُونَ هَذَا كُلَّهُ بِكُمْ مِنْ أَجْلِ اسْمِي، لأَنَّهُمْ لَا يَعْرِفُونَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي.

But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.

٢٢ 22 لَوْ لَمْ آتِ وَأُكَلِّمْهُمْ، لَمَا كَانَتْ لَهُمْ خَطِيئَةٌ؛ وَلكِنْ لَا عُذْرَ لَهُمُ الآنَ فِي خَطِيئَتِهِمْ.

If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin.

٢٣ 23 الَّذِي يُبْغِضُنِي، يُبْغِضُ أَبِي أَيْضاً.

He that hates me hates my Father also.

٢٤ 24 وَلَوْ لَمْ أَعْمَلْ بَيْنَهُمْ أَعْمَالاً لَمْ يَعْمَلْهَا أَحَدٌ غَيْرِي، لَمَا كَانَتْ لَهُمْ خَطِيئَةٌ. وَلكِنَّهُمْ أَبْغَضُونِي وَأَبْغَضُوا أَبِي، مَعَ أَنَّهُمْ رَأَوْا تِلْكَ الأَعْمَالَ.

If I had not done among them the works which no other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.

٢٥ 25 وَقَدْ صَارَ ذلِكَ لِتَتِمَّ الْكَلِمَةُ الْمَكْتُوبَةُ فِي شَرِيعَتِهِمْ: أَبْغَضُونِي بِلا سَبَبٍ!

But this comes to pass, that the word (logos) might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.

٢٦ 26 وَعِنْدَمَا يَأْتِي الْمُعِينُ، الَّذِي سَأُرْسِلُهُ لَكُمْ مِنْ عِنْدِ الآبِ، رُوحُ الْحَقِّ الَّذِي يَنْبَثِقُ مِنَ الآبِ، فَهُوَ يَشْهَد لِي،

But when the Comforter has come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit (pneuma) of truth, which proceeds from the Father, he shall testify of me:

٢٧ 27 وَتَشْهَدون لِي أَنْتُمْ أَيْضاً، لأَنَّكُمْ مَعِي مِنَ الْبَدَايَةِ.

And all of you also shall bear witness, because all of you have been with me from the beginning.
