Yochanan 15
1 "I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.
„Mina olen tõeline viinapuu ja mu isa on aednik.
2 Every branch in me that does not bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.
Ta lõikab ära iga mu oksa, mis vilja ei kanna. Ta kärbib iga oksa, mis vilja kannab, et see saaks veel rohkem vilja kanda.
3 You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.
Teie olete juba kärbitud ja saanud puhtaks selle kaudu, mida ma olen teile rääkinud.
4 Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me.
Jääge minusse, ja mina jään teisse. Just nagu oks ei saa vilja kanda, kui ta on viinapuust lahus, samamoodi on teiega: te ei saa vilja kanda, kui te minusse ei jää.
5 I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.
Mina olen viinapuu, teie olete oksad. Kes jääb minusse ja mina temasse, see kannab külluslikult vilja, sest ilma minuta ei suuda te midagi teha.
6 If anyone does not remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch, and withers; and they gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned.
Kes ei jää minusse, on nagu oks, mis on välja visatud ja kuivab ära. Sellised oksad kogutakse kokku, visatakse tulle ja põletatakse ära.
7 If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.
Kui te jääte minusse ja minu sõnad jäävad teisse, siis paluge, mida iganes tahate, ja see antakse teile.
8 "In this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples.
Minu Isa on austatud, kui te kannate külluslikult vilja ja tõestate sellega, et olete minu jüngrid.
9 Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love.
Ma olen teid armastanud samamoodi, nagu Isa armastab mind. Jääge minu armastusse.
10 If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and remain in his love.
Kui te teete, mida ma ütlen, siis jääte minu armastusse, just nagu mina teen seda, mida mu Isa ütleb, ja jään tema armastusse.
11 I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full.
Olen seda teile selgitanud, et minu rõõm võiks olla teis ja teie rõõm võiks olla täielik.
12 "This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.
See on minu käsk: armastage üksteist nii, nagu mina olen armastanud teid.
13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lays down his life for his friends.
Ei ole suuremat armastust kui anda elu oma sõprade eest.
14 You are my friends, if you do whatever I command you.
Teie olete minu sõbrad, kui teete seda, mida ma teid käsin.
15 No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, for everything that I heard from my Father I have made known to you.
Ma ei nimeta teid enam sulasteks, sest sulased ei ole oma isanda saladustesse pühendatud. Ma nimetan teid sõpradeks, sest olen selgitanud teile kõike, mida Isa mulle on öelnud.
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; that whatever you will ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you.
Teie ei valinud mind, vaid mina valisin teid. Olen andnud teile kohustuse minna ja kanda kestvat vilja. Nii annab Isa teile, mida iganes te minu nimel palute.
17 "I command these things to you, that you may love one another.
See on minu käsk teile: armastage üksteist.
18 If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.
Kui maailm teid vihkab, siis meenutage, et enne teid vihkas ta mind.
19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, since I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
Kui te oleksite selle maailma osa, siis armastaks maailm teid nagu omi. Aga te ei ole selle maailma osa ja mina olen teid maailmast valinud − sellepärast maailm vihkab teid.
20 Remember the word that I said to you: 'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will keep yours also.
Pidage meeles, mida ma teile rääkisin: teenijad ei ole oma isandast tähtsamad. Kui nad kiusasid taga mind, kiusavad nad taga teidki. Kui nad oleksid teinud seda, mida mina käskisin, teeksid nad ka seda, mida teie neile ütlete.
21 But all these things will they do to you because of my name, because they do not know him who sent me.
Aga kõike seda teevad nad teile minu pärast, sest nad ei tunne seda, kes mu läkitas.
22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.
Kui ma ei oleks tulnud ja neile rääkinud, ei oleks nad patus süüdi, aga nüüd ei ole neil oma patule ettekäänet.
23 He who hates me hates my Father also.
Kes vihkab mind, see vihkab ka mu Isa.
24 If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would not have had sin. But now have they seen and also hated both me and my Father.
Kui ma ei oleks andnud neile selliseid tõendeid tegude kaudu, mida keegi ei olnud varem teinud, ei oleks nad patus süüdi, kuid vaatamata sellele, et nad nägid seda kõike, vihkasid nad mind ja mu Isa.
25 But this happened so that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law, 'They hated me without a cause.'
Aga just see täidab Pühakirja sõnad: „Nad vihkasid mind täiesti põhjuseta.“
26 "When the Helper has come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will testify about me.
Kuid ma saadan teile Isa juurest Lohutaja. Kui tema tuleb, toob ta minu kohta tunnistuse. Ta on tõe Vaim, kes tuleb Isa juurest.
27 And you will also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
Ka teie annate minust tunnistust, sest te olete algusest peale minu juures olnud.
