< John 15 >

1 I am the true vine and my Father is the gardener.
ᏖᎸᎳᏗᏯ ᎠᏴ, ᎡᏙᏓᏃ ᏗᎦᎶᎩᏍᎩ.
2 He takes away every branch in me which has no fruit, and every branch which has fruit he makes clean, so that it may have more fruit.
ᏂᎦᎥ ᏓᏋᏂᎦᎸᎢ ᎾᎾᏓᏛᎥᏍᎬᎾ ᏥᎨᏐ ᏕᎬᏂᎦᎵᏍᎪᎢ; ᏂᎦᏛᏃ ᎠᎾᏓᏛᎥᏍᎩ ᏕᎬᏂᎦᎷᏬᏍᎪᎢ ᎤᏟ ᎢᎦᎢ ᎤᎾᏓᏛᏗᏱ ᎤᏰᎸᏐᎢ.
3 You are clean, even now, through the teaching which I have given you.
ᎿᎭᏉ ᏂᎯ ᎢᏣᏓᏅᎦᎸᏔᏅ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏨᏁᏤᎸᎯ ᏥᎩ.
4 Be in me at all times as I am in you. As the branch is not able to give fruit of itself, if it is not still on the vine, so you are not able to do so if you are not in me.
ᏍᎩᏯᎡᏍᏗ, ᎠᏎᏃ ᎢᏨᏯᎡᏍᏗ. ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎤᏩᏂᎦᎸᎢ ᎤᏩᏒ ᏰᎵ ᎬᏩᏓᏛᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᏥᎨᏐ ᎬᏂ ᎤᏖᎸᎳᏛ ᏧᏩᏂᎦᎶᎢ, ᎾᏍᏉᏍᎩᏂ ᏂᎯ ᎥᏝ ᏰᎵᎦ ᎬᏂ ᎠᏴ ᏱᏍᎩᏯᎠ.
5 I am the vine, you are the branches: he who is in me at all times as I am in him, gives much fruit, because without me you are able to do nothing.
ᎤᏖᎸᎳᏛᎢ ᎠᏴ, ᏚᏩᏂᎦᎸᎢ ᏂᎯ. ᎠᏴ ᎠᎩᏯᎢ, ᎠᏴᏃ ᏥᏯᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏣᏙ ᎠᎾᏓᏛᎥᏍᎪᎢ. ᎥᏝᏰᏃ ᎠᏴ ᎥᏝ ᏰᎵ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᏴᎨᏣᏛᎦ.
6 If a man does not keep himself in me, he becomes dead and is cut off like a dry branch; such branches are taken up and put in the fire and burned.
ᎢᏳᏃ ᎩᎶ ᎾᎩᏯᎥᎾ ᏥᎨᏐᎢ, ᎠᎦᏓᎡᎪᎢ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎤᏩᏂᎦᎳᏅᎯ ᏧᎾᏓᎡᎪᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎬᏴᏍᎪᎢ; ᏴᏫᏃ ᏓᏂᏟᏏᏍᎪᎢ, ᎠᏥᎸᏱᏃ ᏫᏚᎾᏕᎪᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᏓᎪᎲᏍᎪᎢ.
7 If you are in me at all times, and my words are in you, then anything for which you make a request will be done for you.
ᎢᏳᏃ ᏂᎯ ᏍᎩᏯᎡᏍᏗ, ᎠᎴ ᎠᎩᏁᏨ ᎢᏥᏯᎡᏍᏗ, ᏂᎦᎥ ᎢᏣᏚᎵᏍᎬ ᎢᏥᏔᏲᎯᎮᏍᏗ, ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏎ ᎢᏰᏣᏛᏁᏗ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ.
8 Here is my Father's glory, in that you give much fruit and so are my true disciples.
ᎤᏣᏛ ᎢᏣᏓᏛᎥᏍᎬ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏅᏓᎦᎵᏍᏙᏔᏂ ᎡᏙᏓ ᏓᏰᏥᎸᏉᏔᏂ; ᎰᏩᏃ ᏍᎩᏍᏓᏩᏗᏙᎯ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ.
9 Even as the Father has given me his love, so I have given my love to you: be ever in my love.
ᎡᏙᏓ ᎠᎩᎨᏳᎯᏳ ᏥᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎢᏨᎨᏳᎢᏳ ᏂᎯ. ᏅᏩᏍᏗᏗᏎᏍᏗᏉ ᎢᏨᎨᏳᎢᏳ ᎨᏒᎢ.
10 If you keep my laws, you will be ever in my love, even as I have kept my Father's laws, and am ever in his love.
ᎢᏳᏃ ᏱᏥᏍᏆᏂᎪᏗ ᏗᎧᎿᎭᏩᏛᏍᏗ ᎠᏆᏤᎵᎦ, ᏱᏅᏩᏍᏗᏗᏉ ᎢᏨᎨᏳᎢᏳ ᎨᏒᎢ; ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᏣᎩᏍᏆᏂᎪᏔᏅ ᏗᎧᎿᎭᏩᏛᏍᏗ ᎡᏙᏓ ᎤᏤᎵᎦ, ᎠᎴ ᏥᏅᏩᏍᏗᏗᏉ ᎠᎩᎨᏳᎯᏳ ᎨᏒᎢ.
11 I have said these things to you so that I may have joy in you and so that your joy may be complete.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎯᎠ ᏄᏍᏗ ᎢᏨᏬᏁᏔᏅ, ᏅᏩᏍᏗᏗᏎᏍᏗᏉ ᎦᏥᏯᎵᎡᎵᎬ ᎠᏇᎵᏒ, ᎠᎴ ᎠᎾᎵᎮᎵᎬ ᎤᎧᎵᏨᎯ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᎠᏇᎵᏒ.
12 This is the law I give you: Have love one for another, even as I have love for you.
ᏗᎧᎿᎭᏩᏛᏍᏗ ᎠᏆᏤᎵᎦ ᎯᎠ ᏄᏍᏗ, ᏗᏣᏓᎨᏳᎯᏳ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ, ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎢᏨᎨᏳᎢᏳ ᏄᎵᏍᏔᏅᎢ.
13 Greater love has no man than this, that a man gives up his life for his friends.
ᎥᏝ ᎩᎶ ᎤᏓᎨᏳᎯᏳ ᎨᏒ ᏴᎬᎪᎾᏛᏓ ᎤᎵᎢ ᏗᏲᎱᎯᏎᎯ.
14 You are my friends, if you do what I give you orders to do.
ᏂᎯ ᎠᏴ ᎢᎦᎵᎢ, ᎢᏳᏃ ᏂᎦᎥ ᎢᏨᏁᏤᎲ ᏱᏂᏣᏛᏁᎭ.
15 No longer do I give you the name of servants; because a servant is without knowledge of what his master is doing: I give you the name of friends, because I have given you knowledge of all the things which my Father has said to me.
ᎪᎯ ᎢᏳᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᎥᏝ ᎢᏨᏅᏏᏓᏍᏗ ᏱᏨᏲᏎᎭ; ᎠᏥᏅᏏᏓᏍᏗᏰᏃ ᎥᏝ ᏯᎦᏔᎰ ᎤᎾᏞᎢ ᎾᏛᏁᎲᎢ. ᏂᎯᏍᎩᏂ ᎢᎦᎵᎢ ᎢᏨᏲᏎᎭ; ᏂᎦᎥᏰᏃ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎡᏙᏓ ᏥᏯᏛᎦᏁᎸᎢ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏨᎾᏄᎪᏫᏎᎸ.
16 You did not take me for yourselves, but I took you for myself; and I gave you the work of going about and producing fruit which will be for ever; so that whatever request you make to the Father in my name he may give it to you.
ᎥᏝ ᏂᎯ ᎠᏴ ᏍᎩᏯᏑᏰᏛ ᏱᎩ, ᎠᏴᏍᎩᏂ ᏂᎯ ᎢᏨᏯᏑᏰᏛ, ᎠᎴ ᏕᏨᏯᎧᏅ ᎢᏤᏅᏍᏗᏱ ᎤᏁᏉᏨᎯ ᎢᏥᎾᏄᎪᏫᏍᏗᏱ, ᎠᎴ ᎤᏁᏉᏨᎯ ᎢᏣᏤᎵᎦ ᎦᎶᏐᎲᏍᎩ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ, ᏂᎦᎥᏃ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎡᏥᏔᏲᏎᎮᏍᏗ ᎠᎦᏴᎵᎨᎢ, ᎠᏴ ᏓᏆᏙᎥ ᎢᏥᏔᏲᏍᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏥᏁᏗᏱ.
17 So this is my law for you: Have love one for another.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎯᎠ ᏄᏍᏗ ᎢᏨᏁᏤᎭ ᏗᏣᏓᎨᏳᎯᏳ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ.
18 If you are hated by the world, keep in mind that I was hated by the world before you.
ᎢᏳᏃ ᎡᎶᎯ ᎢᏥᏍᎦᎩᏳ ᏱᎩ, ᎢᏥᎦᏔᎭ ᎠᏴ ᎢᎬᏱ ᎠᎩᏍᎦᎩᏳ ᏄᎵᏍᏔᏅ ᏂᎯ ᎣᏂ.
19 If you were of the world, you would be loved by the world: but because you are not of the world, but I have taken you out of the world, you are hated by the world.
ᎢᏳᏃ ᎡᎶᎯ ᎢᏣᎵᎪᎯ ᏱᎨᏎᎢ, ᎡᎶᎯ ᏧᎨᏳᎯᏳ ᏱᎨᏎ ᏧᏤᎵᎦ. ᎠᏎᏃ ᎡᎶᎯ ᎢᏣᎵᎪᎯ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᏥᎩ, ᎢᏨᏯᏑᏰᏛᏍᎩᏂ ᎡᎶᎯ ᏥᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᎭ ᎡᎶᎯ ᎢᏥᏍᎦᎦ.
20 Keep in mind the words I said to you, A servant is not greater than his lord. If they were cruel to me, they will be cruel to you; if they kept my words, they will keep yours.
ᎢᏣᏅᏖᏍᏗ ᎯᎠ ᏥᏂᏨᏪᏎᎸᎩ; ᎠᏥᎾᏝᎢ ᎥᏝ ᎤᏟ ᎠᏥᎸᏉᏗᏳ ᏱᎨᏐ ᎡᏍᎦᏉ ᎤᎾᏝᎢ. ᎢᏳᏃ ᎠᏴ ᎬᎩᏐᏢᏔᏅᎯ ᏱᎩ, ᏂᎯ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏓᎨᏥᏐᏢᏔᏂ. ᎢᏳᏃ ᎠᏴ ᎠᎩᏁᏨ ᎤᏂᏍᏆᏂᎪᏔᏅᎯ ᏱᎩ, ᏂᎯ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎢᏥᏁᏨ ᏛᏂᏍᏆᏂᎪᏔᏂ.
21 They will do all this to you because of my name — because they have no knowledge of him who sent me.
ᎠᏍᎡᏃ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎯᎠ ᏂᎦᏛ ᏧᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᏅᏓᎨᏨᏁᎵ ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᏓᏆᏙᎥᎢ, ᏂᎬᏩᎦᏔᎲᎾ ᎨᏒ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᏅᏛᎩᏅᏏᏛ.
22 If I had not come and been their teacher they would have had no sin: but now they have no reason to give for their sin.
ᎢᏳᏃ ᎾᎩᎷᏨᎾ ᎠᎴ ᏂᎦᏥᏬᏁᏔᏅᎾ ᏱᎨᏎᎢ, ᎥᏝ ᎠᏍᎦᏂ ᏱᎬᏩᏁᎮᎢ; ᎪᎯᏍᎩᏂ ᎥᏝ ᏳᏁᎭ ᎤᏄᏢᏙᏗ ᎤᏂᏍᎦᏅᏨᎢ.
23 He who has hate for me has hate for my Father.
ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎠᎩᏍᎦᎩ ᎠᏴ, ᎾᏍᏉ ᎠᏍᎦᎩᏳ ᎨᏐ ᎡᏙᏓ.
24 If I had not done among them the works which no other man ever did, they would have had no sin: but now they have seen, and they have had hate in their hearts for me and my Father.
ᎢᏳᏃ ᎠᏁᎲ ᏂᏓᎩᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎲᎾ ᏱᎨᏎᎢ ᎩᎶ ᏧᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎸᎯ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᏥᎩ, ᎥᏝ ᎠᏍᎦᏂ ᏱᎬᏩᏁᎮᎢ; ᎠᏎᏃ ᎿᎭᏉ ᎢᏧᎳ ᎪᎩᏂᎪᎲ ᎠᎴ ᎪᎩᏂᏍᎦᎩᏳ ᏄᎵᏍᏔᏅ ᎢᏧᎳ ᎠᏴ ᎡᏙᏓᏃ.
25 This comes about so that the writing in their law may be made true, Their hate for me was without cause.
ᎠᏎᏃ [ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏄᎵᏍᏔᏅᎩ ] ᎤᏙᎯᏳᏗᏱ ᎠᏰᎸᏒ ᎤᎵᏁᏨ ᎯᎠ ᏥᏂᎬᏅ ᏥᎪᏪᎳ ᏧᏂᎧᎿᎭᏩᏛᏍᏗᏱ; “ᎠᏎᏉ ᎬᎩᏍᎦᎬᎩ.”
26 When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father even the Spirit of true knowledge who comes from the Father — he will give witness about me;
ᎠᏎᏃ ᎠᏓᏅᏬᎯᏍᏗᏍᎩ ᎦᎷᏨᎭ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᎦᏴᎵᎨᏍᏛᏱ ᏅᏓᏥᏅᏍᏗ ᏥᎩ ᏂᎯ ᎢᏥᎷᏤᏗᏱ, ᎦᏰᎪᎩ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎠᏓᏅᏙ ᎠᎦᏴᎵᎨᏍᏛᏱ ᏅᏛᏓᎴᎲᏍᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏛᎩᏃᎮᎵ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᏅᏛᏋᏁᎵ.
27 And you, in addition, will give witness because you have been with me from the first.
ᏂᎯᏃ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎢᏥᏃᎮᏍᎩ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ, ᎢᏧᎳᎭᏰᏃ ᎢᏕᏓ ᏗᏓᎴᏂᏍᎬ ᏅᏓᎬᏩᏓᎴᏅᏛ.
