John 15
1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser.
ahaM satyadrAkSAlatAsvarUpo mama pitA tUdyAnaparicArakasvarUpaJca|
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.
mama yAsu zAkhAsu phalAni na bhavanti tAH sa chinatti tathA phalavatyaH zAkhA yathAdhikaphalAni phalanti tadarthaM tAH pariSkaroti|
3 You are clean now, because of the word that I have spoken to you.
idAnIM mayoktopadezena yUyaM pariSkRtAH|
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.
ataH kAraNAt mayi tiSThata tenAhamapi yuSmAsu tiSThAmi, yato heto rdrAkSAlatAyAm asaMlagnA zAkhA yathA phalavatI bhavituM na zaknoti tathA yUyamapi mayyatiSThantaH phalavanto bhavituM na zaknutha|
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.
ahaM drAkSAlatAsvarUpo yUyaJca zAkhAsvarUpoH; yo jano mayi tiSThati yatra cAhaM tiSThAmi, sa pracUraphalaiH phalavAn bhavati, kintu mAM vinA yUyaM kimapi karttuM na zaknutha|
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.
yaH kazcin mayi na tiSThati sa zuSkazAkheva bahi rnikSipyate lokAzca tA AhRtya vahnau nikSipya dAhayanti|
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.
yadi yUyaM mayi tiSThatha mama kathA ca yuSmAsu tiSThati tarhi yad vAJchitvA yAciSyadhve yuSmAkaM tadeva saphalaM bhaviSyati|
8 In this, my Father is glorified: that you should bring forth very much fruit and become my disciples.
yadi yUyaM pracUraphalavanto bhavatha tarhi tadvArA mama pitu rmahimA prakAziSyate tathA yUyaM mama ziSyA iti parikSAyiSyadhve|
9 As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you. Abide in my love.
pitA yathA mayi prItavAn ahamapi yuSmAsu tathA prItavAn ato heto ryUyaM nirantaraM mama premapAtrANi bhUtvA tiSThata|
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.
ahaM yathA piturAjJA gRhItvA tasya premabhAjanaM tiSThAmi tathaiva yUyamapi yadi mamAjJA guhlItha tarhi mama premabhAjanAni sthAsyatha|
11 These things I have spoken to you, so that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be fulfilled.
yuSmannimittaM mama ya AhlAdaH sa yathA ciraM tiSThati yuSmAkam Anandazca yathA pUryyate tadarthaM yuSmabhyam etAH kathA atrakatham|
12 This is my precept: that you love one another, just as I have loved you.
ahaM yuSmAsu yathA prIye yUyamapi parasparaM tathA prIyadhvam eSA mamAjJA|
13 No one has a greater love than this: that he lay down his life for his friends.
mitrANAM kAraNAt svaprANadAnaparyyantaM yat prema tasmAn mahAprema kasyApi nAsti|
14 You are my friends, if you do what I instruct you.
ahaM yadyad AdizAmi tattadeva yadi yUyam Acarata tarhi yUyameva mama mitrANi|
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.
adyArabhya yuSmAn dAsAn na vadiSyAmi yat prabhu ryat karoti dAsastad na jAnAti; kintu pituH samIpe yadyad azRNavaM tat sarvvaM yUSmAn ajJApayam tatkAraNAd yuSmAn mitrANi proktavAn|
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.
yUyaM mAM rocitavanta iti na, kintvahameva yuSmAn rocitavAn yUyaM gatvA yathA phalAnyutpAdayatha tAni phalAni cAkSayANi bhavanti, tadarthaM yuSmAn nyajunajaM tasmAn mama nAma procya pitaraM yat kiJcid yAciSyadhve tadeva sa yuSmabhyaM dAsyati|
17 This I command you: that you love one another.
yUyaM parasparaM prIyadhvam aham ityAjJApayAmi|
18 If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before you.
jagato lokai ryuSmAsu RtIyiteSu te pUrvvaM mAmevArttIyanta iti yUyaM jAnItha|
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.
yadi yUyaM jagato lokA abhaviSyata tarhi jagato lokA yuSmAn AtmIyAn buddhvApreSyanta; kintu yUyaM jagato lokA na bhavatha, ahaM yuSmAn asmAjjagato'rocayam etasmAt kAraNAjjagato lokA yuSmAn RtIyante|
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.
dAsaH prabho rmahAn na bhavati mamaitat pUrvvIyaM vAkyaM smarata; te yadi mAmevAtADayan tarhi yuSmAnapi tADayiSyanti, yadi mama vAkyaM gRhlanti tarhi yuSmAkamapi vAkyaM grahISyanti|
21 But all these things they will do to you because of my name, for they do not know him who sent me.
kintu te mama nAmakAraNAd yuSmAn prati tAdRzaM vyavahariSyanti yato yo mAM preritavAn taM te na jAnanti|
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.
teSAM sannidhim Agatya yadyahaM nAkathayiSyaM tarhi teSAM pApaM nAbhaviSyat kintvadhunA teSAM pApamAcchAdayitum upAyo nAsti|
23 Whoever hates me, hates my Father also.
yo jano mAm RtIyate sa mama pitaramapi RtIyate|
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.
yAdRzAni karmmANi kenApi kadApi nAkriyanta tAdRzAni karmmANi yadi teSAM sAkSAd ahaM nAkariSyaM tarhi teSAM pApaM nAbhaviSyat kintvadhunA te dRSTvApi mAM mama pitaraJcArttIyanta|
25 But this is so that the word may be fulfilled which was written in their law: ‘For they hated me without cause.’
tasmAt te'kAraNaM mAm RtIyante yadetad vacanaM teSAM zAstre likhitamAste tat saphalam abhavat|
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.
kintu pitu rnirgataM yaM sahAyamarthAt satyamayam AtmAnaM pituH samIpAd yuSmAkaM samIpe preSayiSyAmi sa Agatya mayi pramANaM dAsyati|
27 And you shall offer testimony, because you are with me from the beginning.”
yUyaM prathamamArabhya mayA sArddhaM tiSThatha tasmAddheto ryUyamapi pramANaM dAsyatha|
