John 15
1 “I am the true vine, and My Father is the keeper of the vineyard.
„Mina olen tõeline viinapuu ja mu isa on aednik.
2 He cuts off every branch in Me that bears no fruit, and every branch that does bear fruit, He prunes to make it even more fruitful.
Ta lõikab ära iga mu oksa, mis vilja ei kanna. Ta kärbib iga oksa, mis vilja kannab, et see saaks veel rohkem vilja kanda.
3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.
Teie olete juba kärbitud ja saanud puhtaks selle kaudu, mida ma olen teile rääkinud.
4 Remain in Me, and I will remain in you. Just as no branch can bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in Me.
Jääge minusse, ja mina jään teisse. Just nagu oks ei saa vilja kanda, kui ta on viinapuust lahus, samamoodi on teiega: te ei saa vilja kanda, kui te minusse ei jää.
5 I am the vine and you are the branches. The one who remains in Me, and I in him, will bear much fruit. For apart from Me you can do nothing.
Mina olen viinapuu, teie olete oksad. Kes jääb minusse ja mina temasse, see kannab külluslikult vilja, sest ilma minuta ei suuda te midagi teha.
6 If anyone does not remain in Me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers. Such branches are gathered up, thrown into the fire, and burned.
Kes ei jää minusse, on nagu oks, mis on välja visatud ja kuivab ära. Sellised oksad kogutakse kokku, visatakse tulle ja põletatakse ära.
7 If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
Kui te jääte minusse ja minu sõnad jäävad teisse, siis paluge, mida iganes tahate, ja see antakse teile.
8 This is to My Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, proving yourselves to be My disciples.
Minu Isa on austatud, kui te kannate külluslikult vilja ja tõestate sellega, et olete minu jüngrid.
9 As the Father has loved Me, so have I loved you. Remain in My love.
Ma olen teid armastanud samamoodi, nagu Isa armastab mind. Jääge minu armastusse.
10 If you keep My commandments, you will remain in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and remain in His love.
Kui te teete, mida ma ütlen, siis jääte minu armastusse, just nagu mina teen seda, mida mu Isa ütleb, ja jään tema armastusse.
11 I have told you these things so that My joy may be in you and your joy may be complete.
Olen seda teile selgitanud, et minu rõõm võiks olla teis ja teie rõõm võiks olla täielik.
12 This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
See on minu käsk: armastage üksteist nii, nagu mina olen armastanud teid.
13 Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
Ei ole suuremat armastust kui anda elu oma sõprade eest.
14 You are My friends if you do what I command you.
Teie olete minu sõbrad, kui teete seda, mida ma teid käsin.
15 No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not understand what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because everything I have learned from My Father I have made known to you.
Ma ei nimeta teid enam sulasteks, sest sulased ei ole oma isanda saladustesse pühendatud. Ma nimetan teid sõpradeks, sest olen selgitanud teile kõike, mida Isa mulle on öelnud.
16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will remain—so that whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you.
Teie ei valinud mind, vaid mina valisin teid. Olen andnud teile kohustuse minna ja kanda kestvat vilja. Nii annab Isa teile, mida iganes te minu nimel palute.
17 This is My command to you: Love one another.
See on minu käsk teile: armastage üksteist.
18 If the world hates you, understand that it hated Me first.
Kui maailm teid vihkab, siis meenutage, et enne teid vihkas ta mind.
19 If you were of the world, it would love you as its own. Instead, the world hates you, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world.
Kui te oleksite selle maailma osa, siis armastaks maailm teid nagu omi. Aga te ei ole selle maailma osa ja mina olen teid maailmast valinud − sellepärast maailm vihkab teid.
20 Remember the word that I spoke to you: ‘No servant is greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will persecute you as well; if they kept My word, they will keep yours as well.
Pidage meeles, mida ma teile rääkisin: teenijad ei ole oma isandast tähtsamad. Kui nad kiusasid taga mind, kiusavad nad taga teidki. Kui nad oleksid teinud seda, mida mina käskisin, teeksid nad ka seda, mida teie neile ütlete.
21 But they will treat you like this because of My name, since they do not know the One who sent Me.
Aga kõike seda teevad nad teile minu pärast, sest nad ei tunne seda, kes mu läkitas.
22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin.
Kui ma ei oleks tulnud ja neile rääkinud, ei oleks nad patus süüdi, aga nüüd ei ole neil oma patule ettekäänet.
23 Whoever hates Me hates My Father as well.
Kes vihkab mind, see vihkab ka mu Isa.
24 If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have seen and hated both Me and My Father.
Kui ma ei oleks andnud neile selliseid tõendeid tegude kaudu, mida keegi ei olnud varem teinud, ei oleks nad patus süüdi, kuid vaatamata sellele, et nad nägid seda kõike, vihkasid nad mind ja mu Isa.
25 But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: ‘They hated Me without reason.’
Aga just see täidab Pühakirja sõnad: „Nad vihkasid mind täiesti põhjuseta.“
26 When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father—He will testify about Me.
Kuid ma saadan teile Isa juurest Lohutaja. Kui tema tuleb, toob ta minu kohta tunnistuse. Ta on tõe Vaim, kes tuleb Isa juurest.
27 And you also must testify, because you have been with Me from the beginning.
Ka teie annate minust tunnistust, sest te olete algusest peale minu juures olnud.
