John 15
1 “I am the vine, the true one, and my Father is the vinedresser.
ahaṁ satyadrākṣālatāsvarūpo mama pitā tūdyānaparicārakasvarūpañca|
2 Any branch in me which does not produce fruit He lifts up, and every one producing fruit He prunes, so that it may produce more fruit.
mama yāsu śākhāsu phalāni na bhavanti tāḥ sa chinatti tathā phalavatyaḥ śākhā yathādhikaphalāni phalanti tadarthaṁ tāḥ pariṣkaroti|
3 You are already clean because of the word that I have spoken to you.
idānīṁ mayoktopadeśena yūyaṁ pariṣkṛtāḥ|
4 Abide in me and I in you. Just as a branch is incapable of producing fruit by itself, except it remains in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in me.
ataḥ kāraṇāt mayi tiṣṭhata tenāhamapi yuṣmāsu tiṣṭhāmi, yato heto rdrākṣālatāyām asaṁlagnā śākhā yathā phalavatī bhavituṁ na śaknoti tathā yūyamapi mayyatiṣṭhantaḥ phalavanto bhavituṁ na śaknutha|
5 “I am the vine, and you are the branches. The one who abides in me and I in him, he is the one who produces much fruit, because apart from me you are incapable of doing anything.
ahaṁ drākṣālatāsvarūpo yūyañca śākhāsvarūpoḥ; yo jano mayi tiṣṭhati yatra cāhaṁ tiṣṭhāmi, sa pracūraphalaiḥ phalavān bhavati, kintu māṁ vinā yūyaṁ kimapi karttuṁ na śaknutha|
6 If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown out, like a branch, and dries up; well they gather such and throw them into the fire, and he is burned up.
yaḥ kaścin mayi na tiṣṭhati sa śuṣkaśākheva bahi rnikṣipyate lokāśca tā āhṛtya vahnau nikṣipya dāhayanti|
7 If you abide in me and my sayings abide in you, you will ask whatever you desire and it will happen for you.
yadi yūyaṁ mayi tiṣṭhatha mama kathā ca yuṣmāsu tiṣṭhati tarhi yad vāñchitvā yāciṣyadhve yuṣmākaṁ tadeva saphalaṁ bhaviṣyati|
8 My Father is glorified by this: that you produce much fruit; and you will become disciples to me.
yadi yūyaṁ pracūraphalavanto bhavatha tarhi tadvārā mama pitu rmahimā prakāśiṣyate tathā yūyaṁ mama śiṣyā iti parikṣāyiṣyadhve|
9 “Just as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you; abide in my love.
pitā yathā mayi prītavān ahamapi yuṣmāsu tathā prītavān ato heto ryūyaṁ nirantaraṁ mama premapātrāṇi bhūtvā tiṣṭhata|
10 If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in His love.
ahaṁ yathā piturājñā gṛhītvā tasya premabhājanaṁ tiṣṭhāmi tathaiva yūyamapi yadi mamājñā guhlītha tarhi mama premabhājanāni sthāsyatha|
11 I have spoken these things to you so that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be made full.
yuṣmannimittaṁ mama ya āhlādaḥ sa yathā ciraṁ tiṣṭhati yuṣmākam ānandaśca yathā pūryyate tadarthaṁ yuṣmabhyam etāḥ kathā atrakatham|
12 This is my commandment, that you love one another just as I have loved you.
ahaṁ yuṣmāsu yathā prīye yūyamapi parasparaṁ tathā prīyadhvam eṣā mamājñā|
13 No one has greater love than this, that someone should lay down his life for his friends.
mitrāṇāṁ kāraṇāt svaprāṇadānaparyyantaṁ yat prema tasmān mahāprema kasyāpi nāsti|
14 You are my friends if you do whatever I command you.
ahaṁ yadyad ādiśāmi tattadeva yadi yūyam ācarata tarhi yūyameva mama mitrāṇi|
15 “I no longer call you slaves, because a slave does not know what his owner is doing; rather I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything that I heard from my Father.
adyārabhya yuṣmān dāsān na vadiṣyāmi yat prabhu ryat karoti dāsastad na jānāti; kintu pituḥ samīpe yadyad aśṛṇavaṁ tat sarvvaṁ yūṣmān ajñāpayam tatkāraṇād yuṣmān mitrāṇi proktavān|
16 It was not you who chose me but I who chose you, and I appointed you so that you should go and produce fruit, and that your fruit should endure, so that whatever you may ask the Father in my name He may give you.
yūyaṁ māṁ rocitavanta iti na, kintvahameva yuṣmān rocitavān yūyaṁ gatvā yathā phalānyutpādayatha tāni phalāni cākṣayāṇi bhavanti, tadarthaṁ yuṣmān nyajunajaṁ tasmān mama nāma procya pitaraṁ yat kiñcid yāciṣyadhve tadeva sa yuṣmabhyaṁ dāsyati|
17 These things I command you so that you love one another.
yūyaṁ parasparaṁ prīyadhvam aham ityājñāpayāmi|
18 “When the world hates you, you can be sure that it has hated me first.
jagato lokai ryuṣmāsu ṛtīyiteṣu te pūrvvaṁ māmevārttīyanta iti yūyaṁ jānītha|
19 If you were of the world, the world would be fond of its own. So because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, that is why the world hates you.
yadi yūyaṁ jagato lokā abhaviṣyata tarhi jagato lokā yuṣmān ātmīyān buddhvāpreṣyanta; kintu yūyaṁ jagato lokā na bhavatha, ahaṁ yuṣmān asmājjagato'rocayam etasmāt kāraṇājjagato lokā yuṣmān ṛtīyante|
20 Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A slave is not greater than his owner.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.
dāsaḥ prabho rmahān na bhavati mamaitat pūrvvīyaṁ vākyaṁ smarata; te yadi māmevātāḍayan tarhi yuṣmānapi tāḍayiṣyanti, yadi mama vākyaṁ gṛhlanti tarhi yuṣmākamapi vākyaṁ grahīṣyanti|
21 Now they will do all of these things to you because of my name, in that they do not know the One who sent me.
kintu te mama nāmakāraṇād yuṣmān prati tādṛśaṁ vyavahariṣyanti yato yo māṁ preritavān taṁ te na jānanti|
22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be having sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin.
teṣāṁ sannidhim āgatya yadyahaṁ nākathayiṣyaṁ tarhi teṣāṁ pāpaṁ nābhaviṣyat kintvadhunā teṣāṁ pāpamācchādayitum upāyo nāsti|
23 The one who hates me hates my Father too.
yo jano mām ṛtīyate sa mama pitaramapi ṛtīyate|
24 If I had not done among them the works that no one else has done, they would not be having sin; but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.
yādṛśāni karmmāṇi kenāpi kadāpi nākriyanta tādṛśāni karmmāṇi yadi teṣāṁ sākṣād ahaṁ nākariṣyaṁ tarhi teṣāṁ pāpaṁ nābhaviṣyat kintvadhunā te dṛṣṭvāpi māṁ mama pitarañcārttīyanta|
25 However, this was so that the statement written in their law might be fulfilled, ‘They hated me without cause.’
tasmāt te'kāraṇaṁ mām ṛtīyante yadetad vacanaṁ teṣāṁ śāstre likhitamāste tat saphalam abhavat|
26 “Now when the Enabler comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of the Truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify concerning me.
kintu pitu rnirgataṁ yaṁ sahāyamarthāt satyamayam ātmānaṁ pituḥ samīpād yuṣmākaṁ samīpe preṣayiṣyāmi sa āgatya mayi pramāṇaṁ dāsyati|
27 And you also will testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
yūyaṁ prathamamārabhya mayā sārddhaṁ tiṣṭhatha tasmāddheto ryūyamapi pramāṇaṁ dāsyatha|
