< John 15 >
1 I am the true vine and my Father is the gardener.
Kai tah misurkung tang la ka om tih a pa tah lotawn la om.
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.
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.
3 You are clean, even now, through the teaching which I have given you.
Nangmih tah nangmih taengah ka thui olka rhangneh a caih la na om uh coeng.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
8 Here is my Father's glory, in that you give much fruit and so are my true disciples.
A thaih muep na thai uh tih kai taengah hnukbang rhoek la na om uh long he a pa a thangpom.
9 Even as the Father has given me his love, so I have given my love to you: be ever in my love.
Pa loh kai n'lungnah bangla kai loh nangmih kan lungnah. Kai kah lungnah dongah om uh lah.
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.
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.
11 I have said these things to you so that I may have joy in you and so that your joy may be complete.
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.
12 This is the law I give you: Have love one for another, even as I have love for you.
He tah kai kah olpaek ni. Nangmih kan lungnah vanbangla khat neh khat lung uh thae.
13 Greater love has no man than this, that a man gives up his life for his friends.
He lakah aka tanglue lungnah he a khueh uh moenih. Pakhat loh a hui ham a hinglu a hmoel pah te.
14 You are my friends, if you do what I give you orders to do.
Kai loh nangmih kan uen te na saii uh atah nangmih khaw kai kah paya rhoek la na om uh.
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.
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.
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.
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.
17 So this is my law for you: Have love one for another.
Khat neh khat na lungnah uh thae ham nangmih kang uen.
18 If you are hated by the world, keep in mind that I was hated by the world before you.
Diklai loh nangmih m'hmuhuet atah nangmih lakah kai ni lamhma la m'hmuhuet tila ming uh.
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.
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.
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.
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.
21 They will do all this to you because of my name — because they have no knowledge of him who sent me.
Tedae kai aka tueih te a ming uh pawt dongah kai kah ming kongah tekah boeih te nangmih taengah a saii uh ni.
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.
Ka lo tih amih taengah ka thui pawt koinih tholh khueh uh mahpawh. Tedae a tholh dongah mueituengnah te khueh uh het pawt nim?
23 He who has hate for me has hate for my Father.
Kai aka hmuhuet loh a pa te khaw a hmuhuet.
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.
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.
25 This comes about so that the writing in their law may be made true, Their hate for me was without cause.
Tedae te daengah ni a olkhueng dongah, 'A poeyoek la kai hmuhuet uh, 'tila a daek tangtae olka a soep eh.
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;
Pa taeng lamkah baerhoep nangmih taengah kan tueih te ha pawk vaengah, pa lamkah aka thoeng oltak mueihla loh kai kawng a phong ni.
27 And you, in addition, will give witness because you have been with me from the first.
Te dongah a tongcuek lamkah kai taengah na om uh dongah nangmih khaw m'phong uh ni.
