John 15
1 “I AM the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser;
»Jaz sem resnična vinska trta in moj Oče je poljedelec.
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;
Vsako mladiko na meni, ki ne prinaša sadu, on odstranja in vsako vejo, ki prinaša sad, očiščuje, da bo lahko obrodila več sadu.
3 you are already clean, because of the word that I have spoken to you;
Torej vi ste čisti po besedi, ki sem vam jo govoril.
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.
Ostanite v meni in jaz v vas. Kakor mladika sama od sebe ne more obroditi sadu, razen če ne ostane na vinski trti, nič bolj ne morete vi, razen če ne ostanete v meni.
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;
Jaz sem trta, vi ste mladike. Kdor ostaja v meni in jaz v njem, ta isti prinaša obilo sadu, kajti brez mene ne morete storiti ničesar.
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;
Če človek ne ostane v meni, je odvržen kakor mladika in se posuši; in ljudje jih zberejo ter jih vržejo v ogenj in so sežgane.
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.
Če ostanete v meni in moje besede ostanejo v vas, boste prosili, kar hočete in se vam bo to zgodilo.
8 In this was My Father glorified, that you may bear much fruit, and you will become My disciples.
V tem je moj Oče proslavljen, da obrodite obilo sadu; tako boste postali moji učenci.
9 According as the Father loved Me, I also loved you, remain in My love;
Kakor je Oče mene ljubil, tako sem jaz vas ljubil. Ostanite v moji ljubezni.
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;
Če se držite mojih zapovedi, boste ostali v moji ljubezni; kakor sem se jaz držal Očetovih zapovedi in ostajam v njegovi ljubezni.
11 these things I have spoken to you, that My joy in you may remain, and your joy may be full.
Te besede sem vam govoril, da moja radost lahko ostane v vas in da bo vaša radost lahko popolna.
12 This is My command, that you love one another, according as I loved you;
To je moja zapoved: ›Da ljubite drug drugega, kakor sem vas jaz ljubil.‹
13 greater love has no one than this, that anyone may lay down his life for his friends;
Nihče nima večje ljubezni, kakor je ta, da človek svoje življenje žrtvuje za svoje prijatelje.
14 you are My friends if you may do whatever I command you;
Vi ste moji prijatelji, če storite, karkoli vam zapovem.
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.
Odslej vas ne imenujem služabnike, kajti služabnik ne ve, kaj dela njegov gospodar; toda vas sem imenoval prijatelje, kajti dal sem vam spoznati vse stvari, ki sem jih slišal od svojega Očeta.
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.
Niste vi mene izbrali, ampak sem jaz izbral vas in vam odredil, da bi šli in obrodili sad in da bi vaš sad ostal, da karkoli boste zahtevali od mojega Očeta v mojem imenu, vam bo on to lahko dal.
17 These things I command you, that you love one another;
Te besede vam zapovedujem, da ljubite drug drugega.
18 if the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before you;
Če vas svet sovraži, vedite, da je mene sovražil, preden je sovražil vas.
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.
Če bi bili od sveta, bi svet svoje imel rad, toda ker niste od sveta, temveč sem vas izbral od sveta, vas torej svet sovraži.
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;
Spomnite se besede, ki sem vam jo rekel: ›Služabnik ni večji kot njegov gospodar.‹ Če so preganjali mene, bodo prav tako preganjali vas; če so se držali mojih izjav, se bodo držali tudi vaših.
21 but all these things will they do to you, because of My Name, because they have not known Him who sent Me;
Toda vse te stvari vam bodo storili zaradi mojega imena, ker ne poznajo tistega, ki me je poslal.
22 if I had not come and spoken to them, they were not having sin; but now they have no pretext for their sin.
Če ne bi prišel in jim ne bi govoril, ne bi imeli greha, toda sedaj za svoj greh nimajo nobene pretveze.
23 He who is hating Me, hates My Father also;
Kdor sovraži mene, sovraži tudi mojega Očeta.
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;
Če med njimi ne bi storil del, ki jih noben drug človek ni storil, ne bi imeli greha, toda sedaj so tako videli kakor sovražili, tako mene kakor mojega Očeta.
25 but—that the word may be fulfilled that was written in their law—They hated Me without a cause.
Toda to se dogaja, da se bo lahko izpolnila beseda, ki je zapisana v njihovi postavi: ›Sovražili so me brez razloga.‹
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;
Toda ko pride Tolažnik, ki ga bom poslal k vam od Očeta, celó Duh resnice, ki izvira od Očeta, bo on pričeval o meni;
27 and you also testify, because you are with Me from the beginning.”
in tudi vi boste pričevali, ker ste bili od začetka z menoj.«
