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 one that beareth fruit, He purgeth, that it may bear 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 unto 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 therefore in me, and I will abide in you: for as the branch cannot bear fruit of it self, unless it abide in the vine; so neither 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, beareth much fruit: but 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 any one abide not in me, he is cast out as a useless branch and withereth: and they gather them up, and throw them into the fire, and they are burnt.

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, ask what ye will, and it shall be granted you.

8 Ni naki, inde Timu ni fe gbre san; ni ndu yi klo babran, ni bi almajere Mu.

Herein is my father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; and 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, and I have loved you, continue 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.

and if ye keep my commandments ye will continue in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and continue 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 unto you, that my joy in you may continue, 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 one 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.

and ye are my friends, if ye do what 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 stile you servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doth: but I have called you friends; for whatsoever 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 did not first choose me, but I chose you, and have appointed you to go forth, and bear fruit, and that your fruit should be lasting: that whatsoever ye ask the Father in my name, He may give it you.

17 Mi yo yi ni ndu yi kpa nyeme ni kpa mbi.

These commands I give you, that ye should 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 hate you, ye know that it hated me first.

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 what 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 observed my word, they will also observe 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 unto you, on my account, 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 unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no excuse 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 such works as no other ever did, they had not comparatively had sin: but 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 thus it is that the word might be fulfilled, which 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, which proceedeth from the Father, ) He shall testify of me.

27 Bi no gban nitu wa bi he yayi tun rji ni mumla.

And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
