Yohana 15
1 “Ime yi Mi nchi kunkro u njanji, u Ti mu ahi Indji u rju'a.
“I AM the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser;
2 Ani gyen ko ilan rime rju ni kpa Mu wa ana klo'a na, iwaani klo'a ani mla'u tie ni ndu la klo babran me.
every branch not bearing fruit in Me, He takes it away, and everyone bearing fruit, He cleanses by pruning it, that it may bear more fruit;
3 Bi kpa tsatsra me ye, nitu wa Mi hla tre Mu ni yiwu ye.
you are already clean, because of the word that I have spoken to you;
4 Bi ka son nimi Mu, ima Mi ka son ni mi mbi ngame, na wa ilan kunkro na ya klo kima na se ahe ni nchi konkro'a, na ni me bi na ya na se bi son ni mi Mu.
remain in Me, and I in you, as the branch is not able to bear fruit of itself, if it may not remain in the vine, so neither you, if you may not remain in Me.
5 Mi nchi kunkron u bi lan ma, indji wa a son ni Me'a Mi he niwu, ani klo gbugbuwu, inda u ta na he ni Me na, bina ya tie kperi na.
I AM the vine, you the branches; he who is remaining in Me, and I in him, this one bears much fruit, because apart from Me you are not able to do anything;
6 Indji wa ana son ni Me na, ba kawu taga na ilan kunkro wa ka klu baka kpulu ba sru na yo lu, baka gon tie nton.
if anyone may not remain in Me, he was cast forth outside as the branch, and was withered, and they gather them, and cast into fire, and they are burned;
7 U ta son ni Me, u lantre Mu son niwu, minye me ko ngyeri wa u son'a u Mi tie ni yiwu.
if you may remain in Me, and My sayings may remain in you, whatever you may wish you will ask, and it will be done to you.
8 Ni naki, inde Timu ni fe gbre san; ni ndu yi klo babran, ni bi almajere Mu.
In this was My Father glorified, that you may bear much fruit, and you will become My disciples.
9 Na wa Iti Mu ni son Me, anaki Ime me mi son yi. Bika son ni mi son Mu.
According as the Father loved Me, I also loved you, remain in My love;
10 U ta hu du mu, u sun ni mi son Mu nawa Mi hu du Iti Mu ni sun ni mi son ma.
if you may keep My commands, you will remain in My love, according as I have kept the commands of My Father, and remain in His love;
11 Mi tre kpe biyi ni yiwu ni ndu si sron Mu nda he ni yi, na ndu si sron a shu.
these things I have spoken to you, that My joy in you may remain, and your joy may be full.
12 Iwa yi a hi ndu Mu, ni ndu yi son kpa mbi na wa Mi son yi'a.
This is My command, that you love one another, according as I loved you;
13 Indrjori na he ni son ri zan wayi na - wa iri ni re (ivri) ma no ni tu kpukpan ma.
greater love has no one than this, that anyone may lay down his life for his friends;
14 Bi kpukpan Mu inde bi tie kpe wa Mi hla ni yiwu dun yi tiewu.
you are My friends if you may do whatever I command you;
15 Mi na la yo yi tie igran ngana; igran na to kpe wa Iti koh ma ni tie'a na. Mi yo yi kpukpan Mu, ni kpe wa Mi wo ni Timu wawu, wu Mi dun yi to.
I no longer call you servants, because the servant has not known what his lord does, and I have called you friends, because all things that I heard from My Father, I made known to you.
16 Ana biyi bi chu Me na, a Me mi chu yi ni ton yi ni dun yi hi ni klo ni ndu klo mbi ndu ba toh naki iwa yi ni he naki, ni tu ko ngyeri bi minye Ti Mu ni mi nde Mu, ani no yi.
You did not choose Me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that you might go away, and might bear fruit, and your fruit might remain, that whatever you may ask of the Father in My Name, He may give you.
17 Mi yo yi ni ndu yi kpa nyeme ni kpa mbi.
These things I command you, that you love one another;
18 I gbungblu'a nita kama ni yi, bi ka to ndi a kama ni Me ri na kama ni yi.
if the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before you;
19 Bini na u gbungblu'a, gbungblu'a ba ni son yi nawu mba. Ni wa bina u gbungblu; a na, Mi la juyi ni mi gbungblu'a, nitu ki gbungblu'a ni kama niyi.
if you were of the world, the world would have been cherishing its own, but because you are not of the world, but I chose [you] out of the world—because of this the world hates you.
20 Bi ka rimren ikpe wa Mi na hla ni yiwu'a, “Igran na zan tiko ma ni ninkon na.” Inde ba ti me di, biyi me ba tiyi di'a, inde ba hu tre mu, ba hu tre mbi ngame.
Remember the word that I said to you: A servant is not greater than his lord; if they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word, they will also keep yours;
21 Ba ti bibi kpe mba ni yiwu wawu ni tu inde Mu, niwa ba na toh indji wa a ton me na.
but all these things will they do to you, because of My Name, because they have not known Him who sent Me;
22 Mi na ye tre ni ba na, ba na he ni lahtre na, u zizan, ba na he ni kpe u gbisron tu lahtre mba na.
if I had not come and spoken to them, they were not having sin; but now they have no pretext for their sin.
23 Indji wa a kama ni Me, a kama ni Ti Mu.
He who is hating Me, hates My Father also;
24 Mi na ye ti ndu kpe wa ko indrjori na ti bre ti na ni mi mba na, bana heni lahtre na, u zizan ba to ye, ba ka mba ni Me ni Ti Mu wawu.
if I did not do among them the works that no other has done, they were not having sin, and now they have both seen and hated both Me and My Father;
25 Ba ti ngari ni ndu itre wa ba nha zi ni tron'a, 'Ba kamba ni Me migyen.
but—that the word may be fulfilled that was written in their law—They hated Me without a cause.
26 Indji u no si sron ni ta ye - wa Mi ton ye yiwu rji ni ti'a, ahi Ibrji u njanji (Ruhu Gaskiya), iwa a rju rji ni Ti'a aye, ani no gban (shaida) nitu Mu.
And when the Comforter may come, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth, who comes forth from the Father, He will testify of Me;
27 Bi no gban nitu wa bi he yayi tun rji ni mumla.
and you also testify, because you are with Me from the beginning.”
