< John 15 >
1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser.
Kai tah misurkung tang la ka om tih a pa tah lotawn la om.
2 Every branch in me that does not bear fruit, he will take away. And each one that does bear fruit, he will cleanse, so that it may bring forth 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 now, because of the word that I have spoken to you.
Nangmih tah nangmih taengah ka thui olka rhangneh a caih la na om uh coeng.
4 Abide in me, and I in you. Just as the branch is not able to bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, so also are you unable, unless you abide 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. Whoever abides in me, and I in him, bears much fruit. For 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 anyone does not abide in me, he will be cast away, like a branch, and he will wither, and they will gather him and cast him into the fire, and he burns.
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 abide in me, and my words abide in you, then you may ask for whatever you will, and it shall 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 In this, my Father is glorified: that you should bring forth very much fruit and become my disciples.
A thaih muep na thai uh tih kai taengah hnukbang rhoek la na om uh long he a pa a thangpom.
9 As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you. Abide 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 precepts, you shall abide in my love, just as I also have kept my Father’s precepts and I abide 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 These things I have spoken to you, so that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be fulfilled.
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 my precept: that you love one another, just as I have loved you.
He tah kai kah olpaek ni. Nangmih kan lungnah vanbangla khat neh khat lung uh thae.
13 No one has a greater love than this: that he lay down 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 instruct you.
Kai loh nangmih kan uen te na saii uh atah nangmih khaw kai kah paya rhoek la na om uh.
15 I will no longer call you servants, for the servant does not know what his Lord is doing. But I have called you friends, because everything whatsoever that I have heard from my Father, I have made known to you.
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 have not chosen me, but I have chosen you. And I have appointed you, so that you may go forth and bear fruit, and so that your fruit may last. Then whatever you have asked of the Father in my name, he shall give 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 This I command you: that you love one another.
Khat neh khat na lungnah uh thae ham nangmih kang uen.
18 If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before you.
Diklai loh nangmih m'hmuhuet atah nangmih lakah kai ni lamhma la m'hmuhuet tila ming uh.
19 If you had been of the world, the world would love what is its own. Yet truly, you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world; because of this, the world hates you.
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 Remember my saying that I told you: The servant is not greater than his Lord. If they have persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they have kept my word, they will keep yours also.
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 But all these things they will do to you because of my name, for they do not know 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 had not spoken to them, they would not have sin. But now they have no excuse 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 Whoever hates me, hates my Father also.
Kai aka hmuhuet loh a pa te khaw a hmuhuet.
24 If I had not accomplished among them works that no other person has accomplished, they would not have sin. But now they have both seen me, and they have hated 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 But this is so that the word may be fulfilled which was written in their law: ‘For they hated me without cause.’
Tedae te daengah ni a olkhueng dongah, 'A poeyoek la kai hmuhuet uh, 'tila a daek tangtae olka a soep eh.
26 But when the Advocate has arrived, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, he will offer testimony 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 shall offer testimony, because you are with me from the beginning.”
Te dongah a tongcuek lamkah kai taengah na om uh dongah nangmih khaw m'phong uh ni.
