John 15

1 “I AM the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser;

ahaṁ satyadrākṣālatāsvarūpo mama pitā tūdyānaparicārakasvarūpañca|

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;

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 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.

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, 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;

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 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;

yaḥ kaścin mayi na tiṣṭhati sa śuṣkaśākheva bahi rnikṣipyate lokāśca tā āhṛtya vahnau nikṣipya dāhayanti|

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.

yadi yūyaṁ mayi tiṣṭhatha mama kathā ca yuṣmāsu tiṣṭhati tarhi yad vāñchitvā yāciṣyadhve yuṣmākaṁ tadeva saphalaṁ bhaviṣyati|

8 In this was My Father glorified, that you may bear much fruit, and you will become My disciples.

yadi yūyaṁ pracūraphalavanto bhavatha tarhi tadvārā mama pitu rmahimā prakāśiṣyate tathā yūyaṁ mama śiṣyā iti parikṣāyiṣyadhve|

9 According as the Father loved Me, I also loved you, remain in My love;

pitā yathā mayi prītavān ahamapi yuṣmāsu tathā prītavān ato heto ryūyaṁ nirantaraṁ mama premapātrāṇi bhūtvā tiṣṭhata|

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;

ahaṁ yathā piturājñā gṛhītvā tasya premabhājanaṁ tiṣṭhāmi tathaiva yūyamapi yadi mamājñā guhlītha tarhi mama premabhājanāni sthāsyatha|

11 these things I have spoken to you, that My joy in you may remain, and your joy may be full.

yuṣmannimittaṁ mama ya āhlādaḥ sa yathā ciraṁ tiṣṭhati yuṣmākam ānandaśca yathā pūryyate tadarthaṁ yuṣmabhyam etāḥ kathā atrakatham|

12 This is My command, that you love one another, according as I loved you;

ahaṁ yuṣmāsu yathā prīye yūyamapi parasparaṁ tathā prīyadhvam eṣā mamājñā|

13 greater love has no one than this, that anyone may lay down his life for his friends;

mitrāṇāṁ kāraṇāt svaprāṇadānaparyyantaṁ yat prema tasmān mahāprema kasyāpi nāsti|

14 you are My friends if you may do whatever I command you;

ahaṁ yadyad ādiśāmi tattadeva yadi yūyam ācarata tarhi yūyameva mama mitrāṇi|

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.

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 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.

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, that you love one another;

yūyaṁ parasparaṁ prīyadhvam aham ityājñāpayāmi|

18 if the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before you;

jagato lokai ryuṣmāsu ṛtīyiteṣu te pūrvvaṁ māmevārttīyanta iti yūyaṁ jānītha|

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.

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 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;

dāsaḥ prabho rmahān na bhavati mamaitat pūrvvīyaṁ vākyaṁ smarata; te yadi māmevātāḍayan tarhi yuṣmānapi tāḍayiṣyanti, yadi mama vākyaṁ gṛhlanti tarhi yuṣmākamapi vākyaṁ grahīṣyanti|

21 but all these things will they do to you, because of My Name, because they have not known Him 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 were not having sin; but now they have no pretext for their sin.

teṣāṁ sannidhim āgatya yadyahaṁ nākathayiṣyaṁ tarhi teṣāṁ pāpaṁ nābhaviṣyat kintvadhunā teṣāṁ pāpamācchādayitum upāyo nāsti|

23 He who is hating Me, hates My Father also;

yo jano mām ṛtīyate sa mama pitaramapi ṛtīyate|

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;

yādṛśāni karmmāṇi kenāpi kadāpi nākriyanta tādṛśāni karmmāṇi yadi teṣāṁ sākṣād ahaṁ nākariṣyaṁ tarhi teṣāṁ pāpaṁ nābhaviṣyat kintvadhunā te dṛṣṭvāpi māṁ mama pitarañcārttīyanta|

25 but—that the word may be fulfilled that was written in their law—They hated Me without a cause.

tasmāt te'kāraṇaṁ mām ṛtīyante yadetad vacanaṁ teṣāṁ śāstre likhitamāste tat saphalam abhavat|

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;

kintu pitu rnirgataṁ yaṁ sahāyamarthāt satyamayam ātmānaṁ pituḥ samīpād yuṣmākaṁ samīpe preṣayiṣyāmi sa āgatya mayi pramāṇaṁ dāsyati|

27 and you also testify, because you are with Me from the beginning.”

yūyaṁ prathamamārabhya mayā sārddhaṁ tiṣṭhatha tasmāddheto ryūyamapi pramāṇaṁ dāsyatha|
