John 15

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

ahaṁ satyadrākṣālatāsvarūpō 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 pariṣkarōti|

3 you are already clean, because of the word that I have spoken to you;

idānīṁ mayōktōpadēśēna yūyaṁ pariṣkr̥tāḥ|

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 tēnāhamapi yuṣmāsu tiṣṭhāmi, yatō hētō rdrākṣālatāyām asaṁlagnā śākhā yathā phalavatī bhavituṁ na śaknōti tathā yūyamapi mayyatiṣṭhantaḥ phalavantō 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 drākṣālatāsvarūpō yūyañca śākhāsvarūpōḥ; yō janō 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 śuṣkaśākhēva bahi rnikṣipyatē lōkāśca tā āhr̥tya 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 yāciṣyadhvē yuṣmākaṁ tadēva saphalaṁ bhaviṣyati|

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

yadi yūyaṁ pracūraphalavantō bhavatha tarhi tadvārā mama pitu rmahimā prakāśiṣyatē tathā yūyaṁ mama śiṣyā iti parikṣāyiṣyadhvē|

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

pitā yathā mayi prītavān ahamapi yuṣmāsu tathā prītavān atō hētō ryūyaṁ nirantaraṁ mama prēmapātrāṇi 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 gr̥hītvā tasya prēmabhājanaṁ tiṣṭhāmi tathaiva yūyamapi yadi mamājñā guhlītha tarhi mama prēmabhājanāni 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 pūryyatē tadarthaṁ yuṣmabhyam ētāḥ kathā atrakatham|

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

ahaṁ yuṣmāsu yathā prīyē yūyamapi parasparaṁ tathā prīyadhvam ēṣā mamājñā|

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

mitrāṇāṁ kāraṇāt svaprāṇadānaparyyantaṁ yat prēma tasmān mahāprēma kasyāpi nāsti|

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

ahaṁ yadyad ādiśāmi tattadēva yadi yūyam ācarata tarhi yūyamēva 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 karōti dāsastad na jānāti; kintu pituḥ samīpē yadyad aśr̥ṇavaṁ tat sarvvaṁ yūṣmān ajñāpayam tatkāraṇād yuṣmān mitrāṇi prōktavān|

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 rōcitavanta iti na, kintvahamēva yuṣmān rōcitavān yūyaṁ gatvā yathā phalānyutpādayatha tāni phalāni cākṣayāṇi bhavanti, tadarthaṁ yuṣmān nyajunajaṁ tasmān mama nāma prōcya pitaraṁ yat kiñcid yāciṣyadhvē tadēva 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;

jagatō lōkai ryuṣmāsu r̥tīyitēṣu tē pūrvvaṁ māmēvārttīyanta 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 jagatō lōkā abhaviṣyata tarhi jagatō lōkā yuṣmān ātmīyān buddhvāprēṣyanta; kintu yūyaṁ jagatō lōkā na bhavatha, ahaṁ yuṣmān asmājjagatō'rōcayam ētasmāt kāraṇājjagatō lōkā yuṣmān r̥tīyantē|

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 prabhō rmahān na bhavati mamaitat pūrvvīyaṁ vākyaṁ smarata; tē yadi māmēvātāḍayan tarhi yuṣmānapi tāḍayiṣyanti, yadi mama vākyaṁ gr̥hlanti 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 tē mama nāmakāraṇād yuṣmān prati tādr̥śaṁ vyavahariṣyanti yatō yō māṁ prēritavān taṁ tē 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.

tēṣāṁ sannidhim āgatya yadyahaṁ nākathayiṣyaṁ tarhi tēṣāṁ pāpaṁ nābhaviṣyat kintvadhunā tēṣāṁ pāpamācchādayitum upāyō nāsti|

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

yō janō mām r̥tīyatē sa mama pitaramapi r̥tīyatē|

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;

yādr̥śāni karmmāṇi kēnāpi kadāpi nākriyanta tādr̥śāni karmmāṇi yadi tēṣāṁ sākṣād ahaṁ nākariṣyaṁ tarhi tēṣāṁ pāpaṁ nābhaviṣyat kintvadhunā tē dr̥ṣṭvāpi māṁ mama pitarañcārttīyanta|

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

tasmāt tē'kāraṇaṁ mām r̥tīyantē yadētad vacanaṁ tēṣāṁ śāstrē likhitamāstē 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 samīpē prēṣayiṣyāmi sa āgatya mayi pramāṇaṁ dāsyati|

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

yūyaṁ prathamamārabhya mayā sārddhaṁ tiṣṭhatha tasmāddhētō ryūyamapi pramāṇaṁ dāsyatha|
