John 15
1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
“Èmi ni àjàrà tòótọ́, Baba mi sì ni olùṣọ́gbà.
2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, he taketh it away: and every [branch] that beareth fruit, he cleanseth it, that it may bear more fruit.
Gbogbo ẹ̀ka nínú mi tí kò bá so èso, òun a mú kúrò, gbogbo ẹ̀ka tí ó bá sì so èso, òun a wẹ̀ ẹ́ mọ́, kí ó lè so èso sí i.
3 Already ye are clean because of the word which I have spoken unto you.
Ẹ̀yin mọ́ nísinsin yìí nítorí ọ̀rọ̀ tí mo ti sọ fún yín.
4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; so neither can ye, except ye abide in me.
Ẹ máa gbé inú mi, èmi ó sì máa gbé inú yín. Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ̀ka kò ti lè so èso fún ara rẹ̀ bí kò ṣe pé ó ba ń gbé inú àjàrà, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹ̀yin, bí kò ṣe pé ẹ bá ń gbé inú mi.
5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for apart from me ye can do nothing.
“Èmi ni àjàrà, ẹ̀yin ni ẹ̀ka. Ẹni tí ó ń gbé inú mi, àti èmi nínú rẹ̀, òun ni yóò so èso lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀, nítorí ní yíya ara yín kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi, ẹ kò lè ṣe ohun kan.
6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
Bí ẹnìkan kò bá gbé inú mi, a gbé e sọnù gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ̀ka, a sì gbẹ; wọn a sì kó wọn jọ, wọn a sì sọ wọ́n sínú iná, wọn a sì jóná.
7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatsoever ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
Bí ẹ̀yin bá ń gbé inú mi, tí ọ̀rọ̀ mi bá sì gbé inú yín, ẹ ó béèrè ohunkóhun tí ẹ bá fẹ́, a ó sì ṣe é fún yín.
8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; and [so] shall ye be my disciples.
Nínú èyí ní a yìn Baba mi lógo pé, kí ẹ̀yin kí ó máa so èso púpọ̀; ẹ̀yin ó sì jẹ́ ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn mi.
9 Even as the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you: abide ye in my love.
“Gẹ́gẹ́ bí Baba ti fẹ́ mi, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi sì fẹ́ yín, ẹ dúró nínú ìfẹ́ rẹ̀.
10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.
Bí ẹ̀yin bá pa òfin mi mọ́, ẹ ó dúró nínú ìfẹ́ mi; gẹ́gẹ́ bí èmi ti pa òfin Baba mi mọ́, tí mo sì dúró nínú ìfẹ́ rẹ̀.
11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy may be in you, and [that] your joy may be fulfilled.
Nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni mo ti sọ fún yín, kí ayọ̀ mi kí ó lè wà nínú yín, àti kí ayọ̀ yín kí ó lè kún.
12 This is my commandment, that ye love one another, even as I have loved you.
Èyí ni òfin mi, pé kí ẹ̀yin kí ó fẹ́ràn ara yín, gẹ́gẹ́ bí mo ti fẹ́ràn yín.
13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Kò sí ẹnìkan tí ó ní ìfẹ́ tí ó tóbi ju èyí lọ, pé ẹnìkan fi ẹ̀mí rẹ̀ lélẹ̀ nítorí àwọn ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ̀.
14 Ye are my friends, if ye do the things which I command you.
Ọ̀rẹ́ mi ni ẹ̀yin ń ṣe, bí ẹ bá ṣe ohun tí èmi pàṣẹ fún yín.
15 No longer do I call you servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I heard from my Father I have made known unto you.
Èmi kò pè yín ní ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ mọ́; nítorí ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ kò mọ ohun tí olúwa rẹ̀ ń ṣe, ṣùgbọ́n èmi pè yín ní ọ̀rẹ́ nítorí ohun gbogbo tí mo ti gbọ́ láti ọ̀dọ̀ Baba mi wá, mo ti fihàn fún yín.
16 Ye did not choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that ye should go and bear fruit, and [that] your fruit should abide: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
Kì í ṣe ẹ̀yin ni ó yàn mí, ṣùgbọ́n èmi ni ó yàn yín, mo sì fi yín sípò, kí ẹ̀yin kí ó lè lọ, kí ẹ sì so èso, àti kí èso yín lè dúró; kí ohunkóhun tí ẹ bá béèrè lọ́wọ́ Baba ní orúkọ mi, kí ó lè fi í fún yín.
17 These things I command you, that ye may love one another.
Nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni mo pàṣẹ fún yín pé, kí ẹ̀yin kí ó fẹ́ràn ara yín.
18 If the world hateth you, ye know that it hath hated me before [it hated] you.
“Bí ayé bá kórìíra yín, ẹ mọ̀ pé, ó ti kórìíra mi ṣáájú yín.
19 If ye were of the world, the world would love its own: but because ye are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
Ìbá ṣe pé ẹ̀yin ń ṣe ti ayé, ayé ìbá fẹ́ yin bi àwọn tirẹ̀; gẹ́gẹ́ bi o ṣe ri tí ẹ̀yin kì ń ṣe ti ayé, ṣùgbọ́n èmi ti yàn yín kúrò nínú ayé, nítorí èyí ni ayé ṣe kórìíra yín.
20 Remember the word that I said unto 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 keep yours also.
Ẹ rántí ọ̀rọ̀ tí mo ti sọ fún yín pé, ‘Ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ kò tóbi ju olúwa rẹ̀ lọ.’ Bí wọ́n bá ti ṣe inúnibíni sí mi, wọ́n ó ṣe inúnibíni sí yín pẹ̀lú: bí wọ́n bá ti pa ọ̀rọ̀ mi mọ́, wọ́n ó sì pa tiyín mọ́ pẹ̀lú.
21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me.
Ṣùgbọ́n gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni wọ́n yóò ṣe sí yín, nítorí orúkọ mi, nítorí tí wọn kò mọ ẹni tí ó rán mi.
22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no excuse for their sin.
Ìbá ṣe pé èmi kò ti wá kí n sì ti bá wọn sọ̀rọ̀, wọn kì bá tí ní ẹ̀ṣẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí wọ́n di aláìríwí fún ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn.
23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
Ẹni tí ó bá kórìíra mi, ó kórìíra Baba mi pẹ̀lú.
24 If I had not done among them the works which none other did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
Ìbá ṣe pé èmi kò ti ṣe iṣẹ́ wọ̀n-ọn-nì láàrín wọn tí ẹlòmíràn kò ṣe rí, wọn kì bá tí ní ẹ̀ṣẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí wọ́n sì rí, wọ́n sì kórìíra èmi àti Baba mi.
25 But [this cometh to pass], that the word may be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
Ṣùgbọ́n èyí rí bẹ́ẹ̀ kí ọ̀rọ̀ tí a kọ nínú òfin wọn kí ó lè ṣẹ pé, ‘Wọ́n kórìíra mi ní àìnídìí.’
26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall bear witness of me:
“Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí Olùtùnú náà bá dé, ẹni tí èmi ó rán sí yín láti ọ̀dọ̀ Baba wá, àní Ẹ̀mí òtítọ́ nì, tí ń ti ọ̀dọ̀ Baba wá, òun náà ni yóò jẹ́rìí mi.
27 and ye also bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
Ẹ̀yin pẹ̀lú yóò sì jẹ́rìí mi, nítorí tí ẹ̀yin ti wà pẹ̀lú mi láti ìpilẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wá.
