Johan 15
1 Kai taw misur kung tang tang na awm nyng saw, ka Pa taw dum ak takung na awm hy.
“I AM the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser;
2 Kai awh ak thaih amak qah a baaikhqi boeih ce hlek hy, kai awh ak thaih ak qahkhqi boeih cetaw, a qahnaak khqoet aham, a baai ak changkhqi ce hlyn pehy.
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 Nami venawh kak kqawn awi ak caming nangmih taw ciim hawh uhyk ti.
you are already clean, because of the word that I have spoken to you;
4 Kai awh awm poe lah uh, nangmih awh awm poe lawt kawng nyng. A baai ce a kungawh ama awm awhtaw amah awh amang qah thai amyihna, nangmih awm kai awh amna mi awm awhtaw am qah thai kawm uk ti.
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 Kai taw misur kung na awm nyng; nangmih taw a baaikhqi na awm uhyk ti. U awm kai awh awm poe nawh anih awh kai awm ka awm awhtaw, ak thaih khawzah qah kaw; kai am kaa taw na mimah poek awh ikawm am sai thai kawm uk ti.
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 Uawm kaiawh ama awm awhtaw, anih cetaw a baai amyihna khawngna awm kawmsaw, koh kawmsaw, maiawh phum kawm usaw mai ing ui kaw.
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 Kaiawh awm unawh kak awikhqi ve nangmih awh a awm awhtaw, nami ngaihkhqi boeih ce thoeh lah uh, nami ham sei peekna awm kaw.
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 Ak thaih khawzah qah unawh ka hubatna nami awmnaak ak caming Pa ce zoeksangnaakna awm hy.
In this was My Father glorified, that you may bear much fruit, and you will become My disciples.
9 Pa ing kai ani lungnaak amyihna, nangmih ce ni lungnak khqi lawt nyng. Kai a lungnaak awh awm poe lah uh.
According as the Father loved Me, I also loved you, remain in My love;
10 Kak awipeekkhqi ve naming ngai awhtaw, kai ing Pa ak awipeekkhqi ngai nyng saw a lungnaak awh ka awm poe lawt amyihna, kai a lungnaak awh awm poe lawt kawm uk ti.
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 Nangmih awh ka zeelnaak ce awm nawh nangmih a zeelnaak ce a soepnaak aham, ve ve ka nik kqawn peek khqi.
these things I have spoken to you, that My joy in you may remain, and your joy may be full.
12 Kai ak awipeek taw ve ni: kai ing ka ni lungnaak khqi amyihna nangmih pynoet ingkaw pynoet lungqu na lah uh.
This is My command, that you love one another, according as I loved you;
13 Thlang ing a pyikhqi hamna a hqingnaak dy a peek lungnaak anglakawh ak bau lungnaak am awm voel hy.
greater love has no one than this, that anyone may lay down his life for his friends;
14 Kak awipeek ve nami sai awhtaw, nangmih taw kai a pyikhqi na awm uhyk ti.
you are My friends if you may do whatever I command you;
15 Tyihzoeihkhqi amni tinak khqi voel qoe kawng, tyihzawih ingtaw a boeipa a bibi ce am sim hy. Cedawngawh kai ing ka pyikhqi ni tinak khqi hawh nyng, kawtih ka Pa a venawh dang law sak hawh nyng.
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 Nangmih ing kai amnik tyk uhyk ti, kai ing ni nangmih ka nik tyk khqi, cet u tiksaw – a poepana ak cak ak thaih nami qahnaak ahamni caksak khqi nyng. Cawh nangmih ing kai ang ming ing nami thoeh saqui ce Pa ing ni pek khqi bit kaw.
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 Ve ve kai ak awipek ni: pynoet ingkaw pynoet lung qu na lah uh.
These things I command you, that you love one another;
18 Khawmdek ing nangmih ce ani sawhnaak khqi awhtaw, kai ni lammana ani sawhnaak tice na mik kawk khuiawh sim uh.
if the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before you;
19 Khawmdek a koe na nami awm mantaw, a koe na nami awm a dawngawh, ni lungnak khqi kaw. Cehlai khawmdek a koe na am awm uhyk ti, khawmdek awhkawng ka nik tyh khqi na awm utik saw khawmdek ing nangmih ce ni sawhnaak khqi hy.
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 Nangmih a venawh kak kqawn law awi ce sim uh; ‘A boei anglakawh tyihzawih am bau hy,’ a ti ce. Cekkhqi ing kai a mini thenaak awhtaw, nangmih awm ni thekhanak khqi kaw. Kai a cawngpyinaak ami hquut awhtaw, nangmih a cawngpyi naak awm hquut lawt kawm uh.
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 Kai ang ming awh cemyihna nangmih ce ni thekha nak khqi kaw, kawtih a mingmih ing kai anik tyikung ce am sim uhy.
but all these things will they do to you, because of My Name, because they have not known Him who sent Me;
22 Cekkhqi venna am cet nyng saw ve ak awi ve am kak kqawn peek mai mantaw, am thawlh hlai voei uh. Cehlai, tuh taw a thawlhnaak awh loet na am awm voel hy.
if I had not come and spoken to them, they were not having sin; but now they have no pretext for their sin.
23 Kai anik sawhnaak thlang taw, ka Pa awm ak sawhnaak thlang na awm hy.
He who is hating Me, hates My Father also;
24 U ingawm ama sai khawi ce kai ingawm am ka sai mai mantaw, am thawlh hlai voei uh. Cehlai kawpoek kyi ik-oeih ak saikhqi ce ami huh awh awm, kai ingkaw ka Pa ve ni sawh na uhy.
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 Cehlai ningnih a anaa awi awh a qee amyihna, ‘Ikaw kawng am mai awh kai ni sawh na uhy,’ tice a soepnaak ham ni.
but—that the word may be fulfilled that was written in their law—They hated Me without a cause.
26 Pa a venawh kawng nangmih a venawh ka tyih hly kawi, ngaihqep sakkung, Pa a venawh kawng ak cawn law awitak Myihla ce a law awh, anih ing kai akawng ce ni sim sak khqi kaw.
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 Nangmih awm ak cyk ca awhkawng kai a venawh nami awm poe a dawngawh, kai akawng ce thlang sim sak lawt kawm uk ti.
and you also testify, because you are with Me from the beginning.”
