< John 15 >

1 "I am the vine, and my Father the vine-grower.
ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܓܦܬܐ ܕܫܪܪܐ ܘܐܒܝ ܗܘ ܦܠܚܐ
2 "He cuts back any of my branches that bear no fruit, and prunes every fruit-bearing branch, that it may bear more.
ܟܠ ܫܒܫܬܐ ܕܒܝ ܦܐܪܐ ܠܐ ܝܗܒܐ ܫܩܠ ܠܗ ܘܐܝܕܐ ܕܝܗܒܐ ܦܐܪܐ ܡܕܟܐ ܠܗ ܕܦܐܪܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܬܝܬܐ
3 "Now you are clean through the word which I have spoken to you.
ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܟܕܘ ܕܟܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܡܠܠܬ ܥܡܟܘܢ
4 "Abide in me, and I in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself except it abide in the vine, no more can you, unless you abide 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 are the branches. He who abides in me and I in him, bears abundant fruit; because apart from me you can do nothing.
ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܓܦܬܐ ܘܐܢܬܘܢ ܫܒܫܬܐ ܡܢ ܕܡܩܘܐ ܒܝ ܘܐܢܐ ܒܗ ܗܢܐ ܡܝܬܐ ܦܐܪܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܕܠܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܡܕܡ
6 "If any one does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers. Such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire and burned.
ܐܠܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܢܫ ܡܩܘܐ ܒܝ ܡܫܬܕܐ ܠܒܪ ܐܝܟ ܫܒܫܬܐ ܕܝܒܫܐ ܘܠܩܛܝܢ ܪܡܝܢ ܠܗ ܒܢܘܪܐ ܕܬܐܩܕ
7 "If you abide in me and my words abide in you, ask whatever your will is, and it shall be yours.
ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܬܩܘܘܢ ܒܝ ܘܡܠܝ ܢܩܘܝܢ ܒܟܘܢ ܟܠ ܡܐ ܕܬܨܒܘܢ ܠܡܫܐܠ ܢܗܘܐ ܠܟܘܢ
8 "By this is my Father glorified, by your bearing abundant fruit, and so being my disciples.
ܒܗܕܐ ܡܫܬܒܚ ܐܒܐ ܕܦܐܪܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܬܝܬܘܢ ܘܬܗܘܘܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܝ
9 "As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you; abide in my love.
ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܚܒܢܝ ܐܒܝ ܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܐܚܒܬܟܘܢ ܩܘܘ ܒܪܚܡܬܝ ܕܝܠܝ
10 "If you obey my commands you will abide in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father’s commands and abide in his love.
ܐܢ ܦܘܩܕܢܝ ܬܛܪܘܢ ܬܩܘܘܢ ܒܚܘܒܐ ܕܝܠܝ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܢܐ ܢܛܪܬ ܦܘܩܕܢܘܗܝ ܕܐܒܝ ܘܡܩܘܐ ܐܢܐ ܒܚܘܒܗ
11 "I have told you these things that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
ܗܠܝܢ ܡܠܠܬ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܕܚܕܘܬܝ ܬܗܘܐ ܒܟܘܢ ܘܬܫܬܡܠܐ ܚܕܘܬܟܘܢ
12 "This is my command, Love one another as I have loved you.
ܗܢܘ ܦܘܩܕܢܝ ܕܬܚܒܘܢ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܚܒܬܟܘܢ
13 "Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
ܚܘܒܐ ܕܪܒ ܡܢ ܗܢܐ ܠܝܬ ܕܐܢܫ ܢܦܫܗ ܢܤܝܡ ܚܠܦ ܪܚܡܘܗܝ
14 "You are my friends if you do what I command you.
ܐܢܬܘܢ ܪܚܡܝ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܢ ܬܥܒܕܘܢ ܟܠ ܕܡܦܩܕ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ
15 "I no longer call you slaves, because a slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything that I have learned from my Father.
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 should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain; so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.
ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܓܒܝܬܘܢܢܝ ܐܠܐ ܐܢܐ ܗܘ ܓܒܝܬܟܘܢ ܘܤܡܬܟܘܢ ܕܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܬܐܙܠܘܢ ܬܝܬܘܢ ܦܐܪܐ ܘܦܐܪܝܟܘܢ ܢܩܘܘܢ ܕܟܠ ܕܬܫܐܠܘܢ ܠܐܒܝ ܒܫܡܝ ܢܬܠ ܠܟܘܢ
17 "This is my command. to love one another. If the worlds hates you,
ܗܠܝܢ ܡܦܩܕ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܬܚܒܘܢ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ
18 "do not forget that it hated me first.
ܘܐܢ ܥܠܡܐ ܤܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܥܘ ܕܩܕܡܝܟܘܢ ܠܝ ܤܢܐ
19 "If you belonged to the world, the world would love its own; but because you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, for that reason 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 what I told you, ‘A slave is not better than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you. If they have obeyed my word, they will obey yours also.
ܥܗܕܘ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܡܪܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܠܝܬ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܪܒ ܡܢ ܡܪܗ ܐܢ ܠܝ ܪܕܦܘ ܐܦ ܠܟܘܢ ܢܪܕܦܘܢ ܘܐܢ ܡܠܬܝ ܢܛܪܘ ܐܦ ܕܝܠܟܘܢ ܢܛܪܘܢ
21 "But they will do all these things to you for my name’s sake, because they know not 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 would have no sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.
ܐܠܘ ܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܐܬܝܬ ܡܠܠܬ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܠܝܬ ܗܘܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܥܠܬܐ ܥܠ ܐܦܝ ܚܛܝܬܗܘܢ
23 "He who hates me hates my Father also.
ܡܢ ܕܠܝ ܤܢܐ ܘܐܦ ܠܐܒܝ ܤܢܐ
24 "If I had not done among them such works as none ever did, they would have had no sin; but 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 "And so is fulfilled the word written in their Law, ‘They hate me without cause.’
ܕܬܬܡܠܐ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܟܬܝܒܐ ܒܢܡܘܤܗܘܢ ܕܤܢܐܘܢܝ ܡܓܢ
26 "When the Comforter is come whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of Truth who comes forth from the Father, he will bear witness 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 to shall bear witness because you have been with me from the first.
ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܤܗܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܡܢ ܫܘܪܝܐ ܥܡܝ ܐܢܬܘܢ
