< John 15 >

1 “I AM the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser;
ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܓܦܬܐ ܕܫܪܪܐ ܘܐܒܝ ܗܘ ܦܠܚܐ
2 every branch not bearing fruit in Me, He takes it away, and everyone bearing fruit, He cleanses by pruning it, that it may bear more fruit;
ܟܠ ܫܒܫܬܐ ܕܒܝ ܦܐܪܐ ܠܐ ܝܗܒܐ ܫܩܠ ܠܗ ܘܐܝܕܐ ܕܝܗܒܐ ܦܐܪܐ ܡܕܟܐ ܠܗ ܕܦܐܪܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܬܝܬܐ
3 you are already clean, because of the word that I have spoken to you;
ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܟܕܘ ܕܟܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܡܠܠܬ ܥܡܟܘܢ
4 remain in Me, and I in you, as the branch is not able to bear fruit of itself, if it may not remain in the vine, so neither you, if you may not remain in Me.
ܩܘܘ ܒܝ ܘܐܢܐ ܒܟܘܢ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܫܒܫܬܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܐ ܕܬܬܠ ܦܐܪܐ ܡܢ ܢܦܫܗ ܐܠܐ ܡܩܘܝܐ ܒܓܦܬܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܬܩܘܘܢ ܒܝ
5 I AM the vine, you the branches; he who is remaining in Me, and I in him, this one bears much fruit, because apart from Me you are not able to do anything;
ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܓܦܬܐ ܘܐܢܬܘܢ ܫܒܫܬܐ ܡܢ ܕܡܩܘܐ ܒܝ ܘܐܢܐ ܒܗ ܗܢܐ ܡܝܬܐ ܦܐܪܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܕܠܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܡܕܡ
6 if anyone may not remain in Me, he was cast forth outside as the branch, and was withered, and they gather them, and cast into fire, and they are burned;
ܐܠܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܢܫ ܡܩܘܐ ܒܝ ܡܫܬܕܐ ܠܒܪ ܐܝܟ ܫܒܫܬܐ ܕܝܒܫܐ ܘܠܩܛܝܢ ܪܡܝܢ ܠܗ ܒܢܘܪܐ ܕܬܐܩܕ
7 if you may remain in Me, and My sayings may remain in you, whatever you may wish you will ask, and it will be done to you.
ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܬܩܘܘܢ ܒܝ ܘܡܠܝ ܢܩܘܝܢ ܒܟܘܢ ܟܠ ܡܐ ܕܬܨܒܘܢ ܠܡܫܐܠ ܢܗܘܐ ܠܟܘܢ
8 In this was My Father glorified, that you may bear much fruit, and you will become My disciples.
ܒܗܕܐ ܡܫܬܒܚ ܐܒܐ ܕܦܐܪܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܬܝܬܘܢ ܘܬܗܘܘܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܝ
9 According as the Father loved Me, I also loved you, remain in My love;
ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܚܒܢܝ ܐܒܝ ܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܐܚܒܬܟܘܢ ܩܘܘ ܒܪܚܡܬܝ ܕܝܠܝ
10 if you may keep My commands, you will remain in My love, according as I have kept the commands of My Father, and remain in His love;
ܐܢ ܦܘܩܕܢܝ ܬܛܪܘܢ ܬܩܘܘܢ ܒܚܘܒܐ ܕܝܠܝ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܢܐ ܢܛܪܬ ܦܘܩܕܢܘܗܝ ܕܐܒܝ ܘܡܩܘܐ ܐܢܐ ܒܚܘܒܗ
11 these things I have spoken to you, that My joy in you may remain, and your joy may be full.
ܗܠܝܢ ܡܠܠܬ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܕܚܕܘܬܝ ܬܗܘܐ ܒܟܘܢ ܘܬܫܬܡܠܐ ܚܕܘܬܟܘܢ
12 This is My command, that you love one another, according as I loved you;
ܗܢܘ ܦܘܩܕܢܝ ܕܬܚܒܘܢ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܚܒܬܟܘܢ
13 greater love has no one than this, that anyone may lay down his life for his friends;
ܚܘܒܐ ܕܪܒ ܡܢ ܗܢܐ ܠܝܬ ܕܐܢܫ ܢܦܫܗ ܢܤܝܡ ܚܠܦ ܪܚܡܘܗܝ
14 you are My friends if you may do whatever I command you;
ܐܢܬܘܢ ܪܚܡܝ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܢ ܬܥܒܕܘܢ ܟܠ ܕܡܦܩܕ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ
15 I no longer call you servants, because the servant has not known what his lord does, and I have called you friends, because all things that I heard from My Father, I made known to you.
ܠܐ ܡܟܝܠ ܩܪܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܥܒܕܐ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܡܢܐ ܥܒܕ ܡܪܗ ܪܚܡܝ ܕܝܢ ܩܪܝܬܟܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܟܠ ܕܫܡܥܬ ܡܢ ܐܒܝ ܐܘܕܥܬܟܘܢ
16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that you might go away, and might bear fruit, and your fruit might remain, that whatever you may ask of the Father in My Name, He may give you.
ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܓܒܝܬܘܢܢܝ ܐܠܐ ܐܢܐ ܗܘ ܓܒܝܬܟܘܢ ܘܤܡܬܟܘܢ ܕܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܬܐܙܠܘܢ ܬܝܬܘܢ ܦܐܪܐ ܘܦܐܪܝܟܘܢ ܢܩܘܘܢ ܕܟܠ ܕܬܫܐܠܘܢ ܠܐܒܝ ܒܫܡܝ ܢܬܠ ܠܟܘܢ
17 These things I command you, that you love one another;
ܗܠܝܢ ܡܦܩܕ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܬܚܒܘܢ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ
18 if the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before you;
ܘܐܢ ܥܠܡܐ ܤܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܥܘ ܕܩܕܡܝܟܘܢ ܠܝ ܤܢܐ
19 if you were of the world, the world would have been cherishing its own, but because you are not of the world, but I chose [you] out of the world—because of this the world hates you.
ܘܐܠܘ ܡܢ ܥܠܡܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܥܠܡܐ ܠܕܝܠܗ ܪܚܡ ܗܘܐ ܐܠܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܥܠܡܐ ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܓܒܝܬܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܥܠܡܐ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܤܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܥܠܡܐ
20 Remember the word that I said to you: A servant is not greater than his lord; if they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word, they will also keep yours;
ܥܗܕܘ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܡܪܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܠܝܬ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܪܒ ܡܢ ܡܪܗ ܐܢ ܠܝ ܪܕܦܘ ܐܦ ܠܟܘܢ ܢܪܕܦܘܢ ܘܐܢ ܡܠܬܝ ܢܛܪܘ ܐܦ ܕܝܠܟܘܢ ܢܛܪܘܢ
21 but all these things will they do to you, because of My Name, because they have not known Him who sent Me;
ܐܠܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܢܥܒܕܘܢ ܒܟܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܫܡܝ ܕܝܠܝ ܕܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܠܡܢ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ
22 if I had not come and spoken to them, they were not having sin; but now they have no pretext for their sin.
ܐܠܘ ܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܐܬܝܬ ܡܠܠܬ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܠܝܬ ܗܘܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܥܠܬܐ ܥܠ ܐܦܝ ܚܛܝܬܗܘܢ
23 He who is hating Me, hates My Father also;
ܡܢ ܕܠܝ ܤܢܐ ܘܐܦ ܠܐܒܝ ܤܢܐ
24 if I did not do among them the works that no other has done, they were not having sin, and now they have both seen and hated both Me and My Father;
ܘܐܠܘ ܥܒܕܐ ܠܐ ܥܒܕܬ ܠܥܢܝܗܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܢܫ ܐܚܪܝܢ ܠܐ ܥܒܕ ܠܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܘܚܙܘ ܘܤܢܘ ܐܦ ܠܝ ܘܐܦ ܠܐܒܝ
25 but—that the word may be fulfilled that was written in their law—They hated Me without a cause.
ܕܬܬܡܠܐ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܟܬܝܒܐ ܒܢܡܘܤܗܘܢ ܕܤܢܐܘܢܝ ܡܓܢ
26 And when the Comforter may come, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth, who comes forth from the Father, He will testify of Me;
ܡܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܬܐ ܦܪܩܠܛܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܢܐ ܡܫܕܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܠܘܬ ܐܒܝ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܫܪܪܐ ܗܘ ܕܡܢ ܠܘܬ ܐܒܝ ܢܦܩ ܗܘ ܢܤܗܕ ܥܠܝ
27 and you also testify, because you are with Me from the beginning.”
ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܤܗܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܡܢ ܫܘܪܝܐ ܥܡܝ ܐܢܬܘܢ
