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 husbandman.
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 in me that beareth not fruit, he taketh away; and every [branch] that beareth fruit, he cleaneth it, that it my bring forth more fruit.
3 Bi kpa tsatsra me ye, nitu wa Mi hla tre Mu ni yiwu ye.
Now ye are clean through the word which 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.
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine: no more can ye, except ye abide 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, ye [are] the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
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 a man abideth 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.
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 ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye may ask what ye will, and it shall be done to you.
8 Ni naki, inde Timu ni fe gbre san; ni ndu yi klo babran, ni bi almajere Mu.
In this is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
9 Na wa Iti Mu ni son Me, anaki Ime me mi son yi. Bika son ni mi son Mu.
As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye 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 ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide 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 have I spoken to you, that my joy may remain in you, and [that] 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 commandment, That ye love one another, as I have 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 hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
14 Bi kpukpan Mu inde bi tie kpe wa Mi hla ni yiwu dun yi tiewu.
Ye are my friends, if ye 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.
Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard from my Father, I have 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.
Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and [that] your fruit should remain: that whatever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
17 Mi yo yi ni ndu yi kpa nyeme ni kpa mbi.
These things I command you, that ye 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 hateth you, ye know that it hated me before [it hated] 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 ye were of the world, the world would love its own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth 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, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you: if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
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 for my name's sake, because they know not him that 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 had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.
23 Indji wa a kama ni Me, a kama ni Ti Mu.
He that hateth me, hateth 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 had not done among them the works which no other man hath done, they had not had sin: but now have they 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 [this cometh to pass], that the word might be fulfilled that is 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.
But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send to you from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, who proceedeth from the Father, he will testify concerning me.
27 Bi no gban nitu wa bi he yayi tun rji ni mumla.
And ye also shall bear testimony, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
