< Johan 15 >
1 Kai tah misurkung tang la ka om tih a pa tah lotawn la om.
“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.
2 Kai ah a thaih aka thai mueh a baek tah boeih a hlaek ni. A thaih aka thai boeih te a thaih muep thaih sak ham a hloe.
He takes away every branch in me that does not bear fruit, and he prunes every branch that bears fruit so that it will bear more fruit.
3 Nangmih tah nangmih taengah ka thui olka rhangneh a caih la na om uh coeng.
You are already clean because of the message that I have spoken to you.
4 Kai ah om uh lah, kai khaw nangmih ah ka om ni. A baek loh misurkung dongah a om pawt atah amah neh amah a thaih a thaih thai pawt bangla nangmih khaw kai ah na om uh van pawt atah na thaii uh mah pawh.
Remain in me, and I in you. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me.
5 Kai tah misur la ka om. Nangmih tah a baek rhoek ni. Anih te kai dongah, kai khaw anih dongah aka om te ni a thaih muep a rhah. Kai pawt atah a hong ni, na saii uh thai moenih.
I am the vine, you are the branches. He who remains in me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for without me you can do nothing.
6 Khat khat long khawkai ah a om pawt atah thing baek bangla vul a voeih tih koh. Te phoeiah a coi tih hmai ah a phum vaengah ung.
If anyone does not remain in me, he is thrown away like a branch and dries up, and they gather the branches and throw them into the fire, and they are burned up.
7 Kai ah na om uh tih kai kah olka loh nangmih ah a om atah na ngaih boeih te na bih uh vaengah nangmih ham soep ni.
If you remain in me, and if my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
8 A thaih muep na thai uh tih kai taengah hnukbang rhoek la na om uh long he a pa a thangpom.
My Father is glorified in this, that you bear much fruit and so prove that you are my disciples.
9 Pa loh kai n'lungnah bangla kai loh nangmih kan lungnah. Kai kah lungnah dongah om uh lah.
As the Father has loved me, I have also loved you. Remain in my love.
10 Kai kah olpaek te na kuem atah kai loh a pa kah olpaek rhoek te ka kuem. Amah kah lungnah dongah ka om bangla kai kah lungnah dongah na om uh bitni.
If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, as I have kept the commandments of my Father and remain in his love.
11 Hekah he nangmih taengah ka thui coeng. Te daengah ni ka omngaihnah loh nangmih ng'om thil vetih nangmih kah omngaihnah loh a soep eh.
I have spoken these things to you so that my joy will be in you and so that your joy will be complete.
12 He tah kai kah olpaek ni. Nangmih kan lungnah vanbangla khat neh khat lung uh thae.
This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
13 He lakah aka tanglue lungnah he a khueh uh moenih. Pakhat loh a hui ham a hinglu a hmoel pah te.
No one has greater love than this—that he lay down his life for his friends.
14 Kai loh nangmih kan uen te na saii uh atah nangmih khaw kai kah paya rhoek la na om uh.
You are my friends if you do the things that I command you.
15 Boei loh a saii te sal loh a ming pawt dongah nangmih te sal rhoek la kan khue mahpawh. Tedae a pa taengkah ka yaak boeih te nangmih taengah ka phoe coeng dongah nangmih te paya la kang khue.
No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing. I have called you friends, for everything that I heard from my Father, I have made known to you.
16 Nangmih loh kai nan tuek uh moenih, tedae kai loh nangmih kan tuek dongah na cet uh vetih a thaih na thaih phoeiah na thaih te naeh sak ham nangmih kan khueh. Te daengah ni ka ming neh pa taengah khat khat na bih te khaw nangmih m'paek eh.
You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain. This is so that whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.
17 Khat neh khat na lungnah uh thae ham nangmih kang uen.
These things I command you, so that you love one another.
18 Diklai loh nangmih m'hmuhuet atah nangmih lakah kai ni lamhma la m'hmuhuet tila ming uh.
If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you.
19 Diklai kah hut la na om uh atah Diklai loh amah hut te a lungnah ni. Tedae kai loh nangmih te Diklai lamkah kan tuek dongah Diklai kah hut la na om uh moenih. Te dongah Diklai loh nangmih te m'hmuhuet.
If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own. But because you are not of the world and because I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
20 Sal tah a boei lakah tanglue la om pawh tila kai loh nangmih taengah ol ka thui te poekuh. Kai n'hnaemtaek uh atah nangmih khaw n'hnaemtaek uh ni. Kai kah olka te a kuem uh atah nangmih kah khaw a kuem uh ni.
Remember the word that I said to you, 'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they kept my word, they will also keep yours.
21 Tedae kai aka tueih te a ming uh pawt dongah kai kah ming kongah tekah boeih te nangmih taengah a saii uh ni.
They will do all these things to you because of my name, because they do not know him who sent me.
22 Ka lo tih amih taengah ka thui pawt koinih tholh khueh uh mahpawh. Tedae a tholh dongah mueituengnah te khueh uh het pawt nim?
If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin.
23 Kai aka hmuhuet loh a pa te khaw a hmuhuet.
He who hates me also hates my Father.
24 Hlang tloe loh a saii pawh bibi te amih taengah ka saii pawt koinih tholhnah khueh uh mahpawh. Tedae a hmuh uh coeng lalah kai neh a pa te bok m'hmuhuet uh.
If I had not done the works that no one else did among them, they would have no sin, but now they have seen and hated both me and my Father.
25 Tedae te daengah ni a olkhueng dongah, 'A poeyoek la kai hmuhuet uh, 'tila a daek tangtae olka a soep eh.
But this is in order to fulfill the word that is written in their law, 'They hated me without a cause.'
26 Pa taeng lamkah baerhoep nangmih taengah kan tueih te ha pawk vaengah, pa lamkah aka thoeng oltak mueihla loh kai kawng a phong ni.
When the Comforter—whom I will send to you from the Father, that is, the Spirit of truth, who goes out from the Father—comes, he will testify about me.
27 Te dongah a tongcuek lamkah kai taengah na om uh dongah nangmih khaw m'phong uh ni.
You are also testifying because you have been with me from the beginning.
