John 15
1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
Mwen se pye rezen tout bon an. Papa m' se moun k'ap okipe pye rezen an.
2 [As to] every branch in me not bearing fruit, he takes it away; and [as to] every one bearing fruit, he purges it that it may bring forth more fruit.
Li koupe tout branch nan mwen ki pa donnen. Li netwaye tout branch ki donnen pou yo ka donnen plis toujou.
3 Ye are already clean by reason of the word which I have spoken to you.
Nou menm, avèk tou sa m' moutre nou yo, nou deja nan kondisyon pou n' fè volonte Bondye.
4 Abide in me and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abide in the vine, thus neither [can] ye unless ye abide in me.
Se pou n' fè yonn ak mwen, menm jan mwen fè yonn ak nou. Yon branch pa ka donnen pou kont li si l' pa fè yonn ak pye rezen an. Konsa tou, nou p'ap kapab donnen si nou pa fè yonn ak mwen.
5 I am the vine, ye [are] the branches. He that abides in me and I in him, he bears much fruit; for without me ye can do nothing.
Mwen se pye rezen an, nou se branch yo. Moun ki fè yonn avè m', moun mwen fè yonn ak li, l'ap donnen anpil, paske nou pa kapab fè anyen san mwen.
6 Unless any one abide in me he is cast out as the branch, and is dried up; and they gather them and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
Moun ki pa fè yonn ak mwen, y'ap koupe l' voye jete; l'ap cheche tankou yon branch bwa. Lè branch bwa yo cheche, yo ranmase yo, yo jete yo nan dife, yo boule yo.
7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will and it shall come to pass to you.
Si nou fè yonn ak mwen, si nou kenbe pawòl mwen yo nan kè nou, nou mèt mande sa nou vle, y'a ban nou li.
8 In this is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit, and ye shall become disciples of mine.
Men ki jan pouvwa Papa m' lan va parèt aklè: se lè nou donnen anpil, lè nou fè wè se disip mwen nou ye.
9 As the Father has loved me, I also have loved you: abide in my love.
Jan Papa a renmen m' lan, se konsa mwen renmen nou tou. Nou menm, se pou nou renmen menm jan mwen renmen nou an.
10 If ye shall keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love, as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.
Si nou fè tou sa mwen ban nou lòd fè a, n'a renmen m' tou menm jan mwen renmen nou an. Menm jan mwen menm, mwen fè tou sa Papa a te ban m' lòd fè a, mwen renmen l' menm jan li renmen m' tou.
11 I have spoken these things to you that my joy may be in you, and your joy be full.
Mwen di nou tou sa pou kè kontan m' lan ka nan nou, pou nou ka kontan nèt ale.
12 This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you.
Men kòmandman m'ap ban nou: Se pou nou yonn renmen lòt menm jan mwen renmen nou.
13 No one has greater love than this, that one should lay down his life for his friends.
Pa gen pi bon jan pou ou moutre jan ou renmen zanmi ou pase lè ou bay lavi ou pou yo.
14 Ye are my friends if ye practise whatever I command you.
Nou tout, se zanmi m' nou ye depi nou fè sa m' mande nou fè.
15 I call you no longer bondmen, for the bondman does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things which I have heard of my Father I have made known to you.
Mwen p'ap rele nou domestik, paske yon domestik pa konnen sa mèt li ap fè. M'ap rele nou zanmi paske mwen fè nou konnen tou sa Papa a te moutre mwen.
16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and have set you that ye should go and [that] ye should bear fruit, and [that] your fruit should abide, that whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name he may give you.
Se pa nou ki chwazi m', se mwen menm ki chwazi nou, ki mete nou apa pou n' ale, pou n' ka donnen, pou donn nou ka konsève. Konsa, Papa a va ban nou nenpòt kisa n'a mande nan non mwen.
17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.
Wi, men sa m' mande nou: Se pou nou yonn renmen lòt.
18 If the world hate you, know that it has hated me before you.
Si moun k'ap viv dapre prensip lemonn yo rayi nou, pa bliye yo te rayi m' anvan yo te rayi nou.
19 If ye were of the world, the world would love its own; but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, on account of this the world hates you.
Si nou te moun lemonn, lemonn ta renmen nou, paske nou ta pou li. Men, mwen chwazi nou, mwen wete nou anba pouvwa lemonn. Se poutèt sa lemonn rayi nou: nou pa moun lemonn ankò.
20 Remember the word which I said unto you, The bondman is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my word, they will keep also yours.
Chonje sa m' te di nou: Yon domestik pa janm pi grannèg pase mèt li. Si yo pèsekite m', y'a pèsekite nou tou. Si yo fè sa m' te moutre yo, y'a fè sa n'a moutre yo tou.
21 But they will do all these things to you on account of my name, because they have not known him that sent me.
Men, y'ap fè nou tou sa poutèt mwen, paske yo pa konnen moun ki te voye m' lan.
22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they had not had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.
Si m' pa t' vini, si m' pa t' pale avè yo, yo pa ta antò, yo pa ta fè peche. Men, koulye a yo pa gen eskiz pou peche yo.
23 He that hates me hates also my Father.
Moun ki rayi m', li rayi Papa m' tou.
24 If I had not done among them the works which no other one has done, they had not had sin; but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.
Si m' pa t' fè bagay okenn lòt moun pa t' janm fè nan mitan yo, yo pa ta antò, yo pa ta fè peche. Men, koulye a yo wè sa m' fè, yo rayi ni mwen ni Papa mwen.
25 But that the word written in their law might be fulfilled, They hated me without a cause.
Men, yo fè tou sa pou pawòl ki ekri nan Lalwa yo a te ka rive vre: Yo rayi m' san m' pa fè yo anyen.
26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes forth from with the Father, he shall bear witness concerning me;
Moun ki gen pou ankouraje nou an ap vini, se Lespri k'ap moutre nou verite a, se nan Bondye li soti. Papa a ap ban mwen l' pou m' voye ban nou, la pale nou sou mwen.
27 and ye too bear witness, because ye are with me from [the] beginning.
Nou menm tou, n'a pale sou mwen, paske nou te la avè m' depi nan konmansman.
