John 15
1 I, am the real vine, and, my Father, is, the husbandman.
“Mene nokware bobe no, na mʼAgya ne okuafo no.
2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, He taketh it away; and, every one that beareth, fruit, He pruneth it, that, more fruit, it may bear.
Dua mman biara a ɛnsow aba no otwa kyene, na dua mman biara a ɛsow no, oyiyi ho na asow aba bebree.
3 Already, ye, are, pure, because of the word which I have spoken unto you:
Me nsɛm a maka akyerɛ mo no ama mo ho afi dedaw.
4 Abide in me, and, I, in you. Just as, the branch, cannot be bearing fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine, so, neither, ye, except, in me, ye abide.
Montena me mu na me nso mentena mo mu. Dua mman biara ankasa rentumi nsow aba gye sɛ ɛfam ne dutan no ho. Saa ara nso na morentumi nsow aba gye sɛ mote me mu.
5 I, am the vine: Ye, are the branches. He that abideth in me and, I, in him, the same, beareth much fruit; because, apart from me, ye can bring forth, nothing.
“Mene bobe no; na mo ne dua mman no. Obiara a ɔte me mu na mete ne mu no bɛsow aba bebree; sɛ mokwati me a, morentumi nyɛ hwee.
6 If one abide not me, he is cast out as the branch, and withered, and they gather them, —and, into fire, they cast them, and they are burned.
Obiara a ɔntena me mu no te sɛ dua mman a wɔatwa atow akyene a so nni mfaso; ɛwo a wɔboaboa ano de gu ogya mu hyew.
7 If ye abide in me, and, my sayings, in you, abide, whatsoever ye may be desiring, ask! and it shall be brought to pass for you.
Sɛ mote me mu na me nsɛm nso tena mo mu a, ɛno de, biribiara a mopɛ a mubebisa no wɔde bɛma mo.
8 Herein, was my Father glorified, that, much fruit, ye should bear, and become my disciples.
Wɔn a wɔyɛ mʼasuafo nokware mu no sow aba bebree de hyɛ mʼAgya anuonyam.
9 Just as the Father loved me, I also, loved you: Abide ye in my love.
“Sɛnea Agya no dɔ me no, saa ara na me nso medɔ mo, Montena me dɔ mu.
10 If, my commandments, ye keep, ye shall abide in my love, —just as, I, the Father’s commandments, have kept, and abide in his love.
Sɛ mudi mʼahyɛde so a mobɛtena me dɔ mu sɛnea madi mʼAgya ahyɛde so na ɛno nti ɔda so dɔ me no.
11 These things, have I spoken unto you, that, my own joy, in you, may be, and, your joy, may be made full.
Maka eyinom nyinaa akyerɛ mo sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mubenya mʼanigye no bi na ama mo anigye awie pɛyɛ.
12 This, is my own commandment, That ye be loving one another, just as I loved you.
Mʼahyɛde ne sɛ monnodɔ mo ho mo ho sɛnea medɔ mo no.
13 Greater love than this, hath, no one, That, his life, one should lay down in behalf of his friends.
Ɔdɔ biara nsen sɛ obi bewu ama ne nnamfonom.
14 Ye, are, friends of mine, if ye be doing that which, I, am commanding you.
Sɛ mudi nea mehyɛ mo sɛ monyɛ no so a na moyɛ me nnamfonom.
15 No longer, do I call you, servants, for, the servant, knoweth not what, his lord, is doing. But, you, I have called, friends, because, all things which I heard from my Father, made I known unto you.
Memfrɛ mo nkoa bio, efisɛ akoa nnim nea ne wura yɛ. Mmom mefrɛ mo nnamfo, efisɛ maka biribiara a mete fii mʼAgya no nkyɛn akyerɛ mo.
16 Not, ye, chose, me, but, I, chose you, and placed you, that ye should go your way and bear, fruit, —and, your fruit, should abide: that, whatsoever ye should ask the Father in my name, he might give unto you.
Ɛnyɛ mo na mpaw me; me na mepaw mo na memaa mo adwuma sɛ monkɔyɛ na monsow aba; aba a ɛbɛtena hɔ daa, Na biribiara a mode me din bebisa no, Agya no de bɛma mo.
17 These things, I command you, That ye be loving one another.
Eyi ne mʼahyɛde: Monnodɔ mo ho mo ho.
18 If, the world, is hating, you, ye are getting to know that, me, before you, it hath hated.
“Sɛ wiase tan mo a, monkae sɛ me na ɛtan me kan ansa na ɛretan mo.
19 If, of the world, ye had been, the world, of its own, had been fond; but, because, of the world, ye are not, on the contrary, I, chose you out of the world, therefore, the world, doth hate you.
Sɛ mote ase ma wiase a ɛno de wiase bɛdɔ mo sɛ wɔn a wɔyɛ ne dea. Nanso miyii mo fii wiasefo mu; ɛno nti monyɛ wiasefo bio; eyi nti na wiasefo tan mo no.
20 Remember the word which, I, spake unto you: A servant is not greater than his lord. If, me, they persecuted, you too, will they persecute, —If, my word, they kept, your own also, will they keep.
Monkae asɛm a meka kyerɛɛ mo no: ‘Akoa nsen ne wura.’ Sɛ wɔtan me a, mo nso wɔbɛtan mo; sɛ wotie mʼasɛm a meka no a, mo nso wobetie mo.
21 But, all these things, will they do unto you, on account of my name, because they know not him that sent me.
Esiane sɛ moyɛ me dea nti na wɔbɛtaa mo, efisɛ wonnim Onyankopɔn a ɔsomaa me no.
22 Had I not come and spoken unto them, Sin, had they none; but, now, have they no, excuse, for their sin.
Sɛ memmɛkaa asɛm biara nkyerɛɛ wɔn a anka wɔrenni bɔne ho fɔ. Afei de, wonni wɔn bɔne ho anoyi biara.
23 He that hateth me, hateth, my Father also.
Obiara a ɔtan me no tan mʼAgya nso.
24 Had I not done among them, the works, which, no other, had done, sin, had they none; but, now, have they, both seen and hated both me and my Father.
Sɛ manyɛ nnwuma a obiara nyɛɛ bi da no wɔ wɔn mu a anka wɔrenni bɔne ho fɔ; nanso wɔahu nea meyɛe, nso wɔtan me ne mʼAgya.
25 But…that the word which, in their law, is written, might be fulfilled—They hated me without cause.
Ɛsɛ sɛ eyi ba mu, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a nea wɔakyerɛw wɔ wɔn Mmara no mu a ɛka se, ‘Wɔtan me kwa’ no bɛba mu.
26 Whensoever the Advocate shall come, Whom, I, will send unto you from the Father, The Spirit of truth, which, from the Father, cometh forth, He, will bear witness concerning me;
“Mɛsoma ɔboafo a ɔyɛ nokware Honhom a ofi Agya no nkyɛn no aba mo nkyɛn na wabedi me ho adanse akyerɛ mo.
27 And do, ye also, bear witness, because, from the beginning, ye are, with me,
Na mo nso mubedi me ho adanse, efisɛ me ne mo na ɛwɔ hɔ fi mfiase pɛɛ.”
