John 15
1 "I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.
Mwen se pye rezen tout bon an. Papa m' se moun k'ap okipe pye rezen an.
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.
Li koupe tout branch nan mwen ki pa donnen. Li netwaye tout branch ki donnen pou yo ka donnen plis toujou.
3 You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.
Nou menm, avèk tou sa m' moutre nou yo, nou deja nan kondisyon pou n' fè volonte Bondye.
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.
Se pou n' fè yonn ak mwen, menm jan mwen fè yonn ak nou. Yon branch pa ka donnen pou kont li si l' pa fè yonn ak pye rezen an. Konsa tou, nou p'ap kapab donnen si nou pa fè yonn ak mwen.
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.
Mwen se pye rezen an, nou se branch yo. Moun ki fè yonn avè m', moun mwen fè yonn ak li, l'ap donnen anpil, paske nou pa kapab fè anyen san mwen.
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.
Moun ki pa fè yonn ak mwen, y'ap koupe l' voye jete; l'ap cheche tankou yon branch bwa. Lè branch bwa yo cheche, yo ranmase yo, yo jete yo nan dife, yo boule yo.
7 If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.
Si nou fè yonn ak mwen, si nou kenbe pawòl mwen yo nan kè nou, nou mèt mande sa nou vle, y'a ban nou li.
8 "In this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples.
Men ki jan pouvwa Papa m' lan va parèt aklè: se lè nou donnen anpil, lè nou fè wè se disip mwen nou ye.
9 Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love.
Jan Papa a renmen m' lan, se konsa mwen renmen nou tou. Nou menm, se pou nou renmen menm jan mwen renmen nou an.
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.
Si nou fè tou sa mwen ban nou lòd fè a, n'a renmen m' tou menm jan mwen renmen nou an. Menm jan mwen menm, mwen fè tou sa Papa a te ban m' lòd fè a, mwen renmen l' menm jan li renmen m' tou.
11 I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full.
Mwen di nou tou sa pou kè kontan m' lan ka nan nou, pou nou ka kontan nèt ale.
12 "This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.
Men kòmandman m'ap ban nou: Se pou nou yonn renmen lòt menm jan mwen renmen nou.
13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lays down his life for his friends.
Pa gen pi bon jan pou ou moutre jan ou renmen zanmi ou pase lè ou bay lavi ou pou yo.
14 You are my friends, if you do whatever I command you.
Nou tout, se zanmi m' nou ye depi nou fè sa m' mande nou fè.
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.
Mwen p'ap rele nou domestik, paske yon domestik pa konnen sa mèt li ap fè. M'ap rele nou zanmi paske mwen fè nou konnen tou sa Papa a te moutre mwen.
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.
Se pa nou ki chwazi m', se mwen menm ki chwazi nou, ki mete nou apa pou n' ale, pou n' ka donnen, pou donn nou ka konsève. Konsa, Papa a va ban nou nenpòt kisa n'a mande nan non mwen.
17 "I command these things to you, that you may love one another.
Wi, men sa m' mande nou: Se pou nou yonn renmen lòt.
18 If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.
Si moun k'ap viv dapre prensip lemonn yo rayi nou, pa bliye yo te rayi m' anvan yo te rayi nou.
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.
Si nou te moun lemonn, lemonn ta renmen nou, paske nou ta pou li. Men, mwen chwazi nou, mwen wete nou anba pouvwa lemonn. Se poutèt sa lemonn rayi nou: nou pa moun lemonn ankò.
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.
Chonje sa m' te di nou: Yon domestik pa janm pi grannèg pase mèt li. Si yo pèsekite m', y'a pèsekite nou tou. Si yo fè sa m' te moutre yo, y'a fè sa n'a moutre yo tou.
21 But all these things will they do to you because of my name, because they do not know him who sent me.
Men, y'ap fè nou tou sa poutèt mwen, paske yo pa konnen moun ki te voye m' lan.
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.
Si m' pa t' vini, si m' pa t' pale avè yo, yo pa ta antò, yo pa ta fè peche. Men, koulye a yo pa gen eskiz pou peche yo.
23 He who hates me hates my Father also.
Moun ki rayi m', li rayi Papa m' tou.
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.
Si m' pa t' fè bagay okenn lòt moun pa t' janm fè nan mitan yo, yo pa ta antò, yo pa ta fè peche. Men, koulye a yo wè sa m' fè, yo rayi ni mwen ni Papa mwen.
25 But this happened so that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law, 'They hated me without a cause.'
Men, yo fè tou sa pou pawòl ki ekri nan Lalwa yo a te ka rive vre: Yo rayi m' san m' pa fè yo anyen.
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.
Moun ki gen pou ankouraje nou an ap vini, se Lespri k'ap moutre nou verite a, se nan Bondye li soti. Papa a ap ban mwen l' pou m' voye ban nou, la pale nou sou mwen.
27 And you will also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
Nou menm tou, n'a pale sou mwen, paske nou te la avè m' depi nan konmansman.
