John 15
1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.
“Keima graprâng diktak ki ni, male ka Pa chu ruhuon donsûipu ani.
2 He cuts off every one of my branches that doesn't bear fruit. He prunes every branch that bears fruit so it can bear even more.
Keima taka kop loi amachang ânra loi chu a khiekpaia, ânra kai chu a rithiel minsâi ngâi; masikin ânthienga amara atam uolna rangin.
3 You are already pruned and made clean through what I've told you.
Minchuna chong nangni ke pêk saia hin nin inthiengvar zoi ani.
4 Remain in me, and I will remain in you. Just as a branch cannot produce fruit unless it remains part of the vine, so it is for you: you cannot bear fruit unless you remain in me.
Ko kôm omtit ungla, male kei khom nin kôm omtit ki tih. Amachang hah graperânga akop tit nônchu athenin inra thei maka; graperânga akop tit vaiin kêng ânra thei ngâi. Ma anghan nangni khom ko kôm nin omtit nônchu nin thenin inra thei no tunui.”
5 I'm the vine, you're the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit—for apart from me you can't do anything.
“Keima graprâng ki nia, nangni ngei ha amachangngei nin ni. Tukhom keima taka aomtita, male kei khom ama taka ko omtitna chu tamtakin an inra ngâi; keima boiin ite nin sin thei loi sikin.
6 Anyone who doesn't remain in me is like a branch that is thrown out and dries up. Such branches are gathered together, thrown into the fire and burned.
Tukhom keima taka om loi chu amachang angin paiin aoma, male achâr ngâi; ma anga amachangngei hah chu an rokhôma meia an paia, akâng ngâi.
7 If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, then you can ask for whatever you want, and it will be given you.
Ko kôm nin omtita, ko chong nin kôm aomtitin chu nin nunuom zong roi man bang nin tih.
8 My Father is glorified as you produce much fruit, proving you are my disciples.
Tamtaka nin inra hin ka Pa roiinpuina inlangin aom ngâi ani; ma anghan ku ruoisingei nin hong ni ani.
9 As the Father loved me, so I have loved you. Remain in my love.
Pa'n mi lungkham anghan kei khom nangni ku lungkham ani; ku lungkhamna hin omtit roi.
10 If you do what I say, you will remain in my love, just as I do what my Father says and remain in his love.
Ko chongpêkngei nin jômin chu ku lungkhamna ombang nin tih, ka Pa chongpêkngei ko jôma a lungkhamnân ko ombang anghin.
11 I've explained this to you so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.
“Ka râisâna nangnia han aom theina rang le nin râisâna akip theina rangin mahi nin kôm ki misîr ani.
12 This is my command: love one another as I have loved you.
Ko chongpêk chu mahi ani: inkhat le inkhat inlungkham inlôm roi, keiman nangni ku lungkham anghin.
13 There is no greater love than to give your life for your friends.
Miriemin a malngei ranga lungkhamna lientak a dôn thei chu an ta ranga a ringna pêk hi ani.
14 You're my friends if you do what I tell you.
Male ko chongpêk nin jômin chu ka malngei nin ni.
15 I don't call you servants any longer, for servants are not taken into their master's confidence. I call you friends, for everything my Father told me I've explained to you.
Tîrlâmngei nangni ti khâi no ning, asikchu tîrlâmngei chu an pu sintho riet ngâi mak ngei ani. Manêkin chu malngei nangni ti ki tih, Pa renga ki riet ngei murdi nangni ki misîr pe zoi sikin.
16 You didn't choose me, I chose you. I have given you the responsibility to go and produce lasting fruit. So the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.
Nangnin ni thang mak choia; keiman kêng nangni ka thang ania; sea mara tamtak va dôna, nin mara aom bang rangin nangni ku phun sa ani. Masikin ki riminga Pa kôm nin zong kai chu nangni a pêk theina rangin.
17 This is my command to you: love one another.
Hanchu, mahi ko chongpêk chu ani: inkhat le inkhat inlungkham inlôm roi.
18 If the world hates you, remember that it hated me before it hated you.
“Rammuolin nangni mumâkin chu, keima mi lei mumâk bak ani ti riettit roi.
19 If you were part of this world, it would love you as its own. But you're not part of the world, and I chose you out of the world—that's why the world hates you.
Rammuol ta ni ungla chu rammuolin ama ta angin nangni lungkham rang ani. Aniatachu rammuol renga nangni ka thangsuok ania, rammuol mi nin ni khâi loi sikin rammuolin nangni a mumâk ani.
20 Remember what I told you: servants aren't more important than their master. If they persecuted me, they will persecute you too. If they did what I told them, they will do what you tell them too.
‘Suokngei chu an pu nêkin lien uol mak ngei’ ti chong nangni ki ril hah riettit roi. Mingeiin keima an nuom minlôn chu nangni khom an nunuom nangni lô sa an tih; ki minchuna chong an donin chu nin minchuna chong khom don an tih.
21 But everything they do to you will be because of me, for they don't know the one who sent me.
Hannirese hima ngei murdi hah kata nin ni sika kêng nin chunga an tho rang; tumo mi tîrpu hah an riet loi sikin.
22 If I hadn't come and spoken to them, they wouldn't be guilty of sin—but now they have no excuse for their sin.
Keima juongin an kôm thurchi misîr no rong chu sietnân theiloi an chang loi rang piel ani; atûn chu an sietna muduolna rang dôn khâi mak ngei.
23 Anyone who hates me hates my Father as well.
Tukhom mi mumâkpu chu ka Pa khom a mumâk ani.
24 If I had not given them such a demonstration through things that no one had ever done before, they wouldn't be guilty of sin, but despite seeing all this they hated both me and my Father.
Mi dangin an la tho ngâiloi neinunngei hah an lâia tho no ronga chu sietna sikin theiloi an chang loi rang piel ania; atûn chu ki sintho ngei an mua, male keima le ka Pa kin ruonin min mumâk zoi ani.
25 But this just fulfilled what Scripture says, ‘They hated me for no reason at all.’
Nikhomrese, mahi, an Balam lekhabua anni ngei han, ‘Ite abi boiin min mumâk,’ tia ânziek hah inzomin ahongtung adik theina ranga an tho ani.
26 But I will send you the Comforter from the Father. When he comes, he will give evidence about me. He is the Spirit of truth who comes from the Father.
“Sanpu hah juong a ta, Ratha diktak Pathien chungroia chongtak minlangpu hah Pa kôm renga juong atih. Pa kôm renga nin kôm juongtîr ka ta, male ama'n ku chungroi misîr atih.
27 You will also give evidence about me because you were with me from the beginning.
Male nangni, khomin ku chungroi misîr sâng nin tih, aphut renga keima leh nin om sikin.
