John 15
1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
“Kei Capyit ngsun kcang ni, ka Pa cun ngvawng kbia kyaki.
2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every [branch] that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
“Ani naw kei üng am ngtheipaikia kphyem naküt cun ksawm pat lü xawtki, am ngtheipai naküt cun khek lü pawhki. Acunüng ngcingcaih lü a ngtheipai law dämdäm vaia ksekpaih khawiki.
3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
“Ka ning jah mtheimthang naw tuh hin ning jah ngcingcaihsak päng ve.
4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
“Kei üng ngphungmanei u, kei pi nangmi üng ka ngmanei khai. Akpyeng cun a phung üng am a ngphunei üng, amät am a ngtheipai khawha mäiha, nangmi pi kei üng am ngphuneiki cun am ngtheipai thei.
5 I am the vine, ye [are] the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
“Kei hin Capyit ngsun ni, nangmi cun a kphyengma nami kyaki. Kei üng ngphuneikie veia kei pi ngphunei be ngü se, khawkäna ngtheipai khai; keia kaa i am pawh khawh uki.
6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast [them] into the fire, and they are burned.
“Kei üng am ngphunmaneikie cun khyawngkia akpyenga mäiha xawtin vaia kyaki. Acukba a kphyem cun mkhäm lü mei üng mkhihin u se, mei naw jah ui khawiki.
7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
“Nangmi kei üng ve u lü ka ngthu nangmi üng a ve üng, nami hlüei naküt nami täsam üng nami yah khai.
8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
“Ka Paa hlüngtainak cun khawkäna nami ngtheipainak naw mdanki.
9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
“Pa naw a na kphyanaka mäiha ka ning jah kphyanaki. Ka kphyanaka kea xüngsei ua.
10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.
“Ka Paa ngthupete jah läklam lü a kphyanaka kea ka vea kba, ka ngthupete nami jah läklam üng, ka mhläkphyanaka kea nami ve khai.
11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and [that] your joy might be full.
“Kei naw ning jah je na ngü se, nami jenak a kümcei vaia phäha ahin he ka ning jah mtheh ni.
12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
“Hin hin ka ngthupeta kyaki: kei naw ka ning jah kphyanaka kba mat ja mat mhläkphya na ua.
13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
“Na püi hea phäh mhläkphyanak akyäp säih ta, amimia phäh na sak na pet hin ni.
14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
“Ka ning jah mtheh naküt nami läklam üng ka püi hea nami kya khai.
15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
“Mpyaea am ning jah sui ti nawng. A mahpa naw a bilawh cen mpya naw am ksing khawi. ‘Ka püi he aw’ ti lü ka ning jah khüki. Isetiakyaküng, Paa veia ka ngjak naküt ka ning jah mtheha phäh kyaki.
16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and [that] your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
“Nangmi naw kei cun nami na xü am ni, kei naw va ka ning jah xüki. Cit lü khawkäna pungpyah ngtheipai lü käh thuuih theikia ngtheipaia nami kya khaia ka ning jah mcawnki. Ka ngming üng Paa veia nami täsam naküt ning jah pe khai.
17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.
“Mat naw mat nami mhläkphyanak vaia phäh ka ning jah mtheh ni.
18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before [it hated] you.
“Khawmdek naw a ning jah hneng üng, nangmi am a ning jah hneng ham üng kei na hneng pängki ti ksing ua.
19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
“Khawmdek üng nami sängei üng, khawmdek naw ning jah jawng na khai. Cunüngpi, kei naw khawmdek üngka naw ning jah xü ngü se, khawmdek üng am sängei uki. Acunakyase, khawmdek naw ning jah hnengki.
20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
‘Mpya cun a bawia kthaka däm bawka thum am ve,’ ti ka ning jah mtheh cen süm ua. Khyang he naw ami na mkhuimkha üng, nangmi pi ning jah mkhuimkha khaie. Ka khyübe ami ngaih üng, nangmia pyen pi ning jah ngai khaie.
21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me.
“Cunüngpi ka khyangea nami thawna phäh, khyange naw ahin he nami khana jah pawh law acun he. Isenitiüng, na tüi lawki am ami ksinga phäh kyaki.
22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.
“Kei naw law lü am ka jah mtheha ta, mkhyekatnak am ksing khaie sü. Tuh ta ami mkhyenaka phäh ami lätnak vai lam am ve ve.
23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
“Kei na hnengki naküt cun ka Pa pi hnengkia kyaki.
24 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
“U naw pi am a pawh khawie ami maa am ka jah pawha ta, mkhyenak am ksing khaie sü. Tuh ta ka pawhe jah hmu u lü, kei ja ka Pa jah hnengkie ni.
25 But [this cometh to pass], that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
“Acunakyase, “Amdanga na hnengkie ni,” ti ami Thum üng ng’yuki cun kümcei law khaia kya kungki ni.
26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
“Jah Kpüikpak khai Ngmüimkhya law khai. Ani naw Pamhnama mawng ngthungtak pyen lü, Pa üngka naw lawkia kyaki. Ani cun kei naw Pa üngka naw ka tüi law khai, ani naw ka mawng pyen hü khai.
27 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
“Nangmi naw pi keia mawng nami pyen acun he. Isetiakyaküng ta akcük ma säih üngkhyüh ka hlawnga nami awmki hea kyaki.
