John 15
1 [Jesus talked to us as we were walking along. Speaking figuratively of the need for us to live in a way that God wants us to, he said], “I am like [MET] a genuine vine, [not like those Jewish leaders who do not teach the truth]. My father is like [MET] a gardener who [works to] take care of a vineyard.
Me eo ar wir winienn, ha va Zad eo ar gwinier.
2 [Just like a gardener] cuts off the branches that bear no grapes [MET], [God gets rid of those who do not please him even though they say that they belong to him]. Those branches that bear fruit, [the gardener] trims so that they may bear more grapes. [Similarly, my Father disciplines/corrects those who live as he wants them to live].
Lemel a ra ac'hanon kement brank na zoug ket a frouezh; hag e tivarr kement brank a zoug frouezh, evit ma tougo c'hoazh muioc'h a frouezh.
3 You are already [like] the branches [that a gardener] trims because [you have believed] the message that I have told you.
Dija oc'h-hu glan, abalamour d'ar gomz am eus lavaret deoc'h.
4 Remain having a close relationship with me. [If you do that], I will remain having a close relationship with you. A branch [of a vine] cannot bear fruit [if it is cut off and left] by itself. To bear fruit, it must remain attached to the vine. Similarly, you cannot [live the way that God wants you to] if you do not remain united to me [MET].
Chomit ennon, hag e chomin ennoc'h. Evel na c'hell ket ar brank dougen frouezh anezhañ e-unan, ma ne chom stag ouzh ar winienn, c'hwi ne c'hellot ket kennebeut ma ne chomit ket ennon.
5 I am [like] [MET] a vine. You are [like] [MET] the branches. All those who have a close relationship with me and with whom I have a close relationship will [do much that pleases God, like] [MET] [a vine that] bears much fruit. [Remember that] you can do nothing [HYP] [that truly pleases God] without my [help].
Me eo ar winienn, ha c'hwi eo ar brankoù. An hini a chom ennon ha ma choman ennañ, a zoug kalz a frouezh; rak hepdon ne c'hellit ober netra.
6 [A gardener cuts off and] throws away useless branches. Then, after they dry up, [he] picks them up and throws them into a fire and burns them [SIM]. Similarly, everyone who does not remain having a close relationship with me, [God] will get rid of.
Ma ne chom ket unan bennak ennon, taolet eo er-maez evel ar brank, hag e sec'h; neuze e tastumer ar brankoù, o zaoler en tan hag e tevont.
7 If you remain having a close relationship with me and you keep [living in accordance with] my message, you can ask [God to do] anything for you, and he will do it.
Mar chomit ennon, ha mar chom va gerioù ennoc'h, c'hwi a c'houlenno ar pezh a fello deoc'h, hag ho po anezhañ.
8 The way my Father is honored is by your {The way you honor my Father is by} doing much that pleases him [MET], and by doing that, you will show that you are my disciples.
Roet e vo gloar da'm Zad, mar dougit kalz a frouezh, ha c'hwi a vo va diskibien.
9 I have loved you just as [my] Father has loved me. Now keep living in [a way that is appropriate for those whom] I love.
Evel m'en deus an Tad va c'haret, me am eus ivez ho karet; chomit em c'harantez.
10 If you obey what I have commanded you, you will be acting in [a way that is appropriate for those whom] I love, just like I have obeyed what my Father has commanded me and I act [in a way that is appropriate for someone] whom he loves.
Mar mirit va gourc'hemennoù, e chomot em c'harantez, evel ma em eus miret gourc'hemennoù va Zad, hag e choman en e garantez.
11 I have told you these things so that you may be joyful as I [am joyful], and that you may be completely joyful.
Lavaret em eus deoc'h an traoù-mañ, evit ma chomo va levenez ennoc'h, ha ma vo ho levenez peurleuniet.
12 What I am commanding you is this: Love each other just like I have loved you.
Va gourc'hemenn eo, ma en em garot an eil egile, evel ma em eus ho karet.
13 The best way that people can show that they love someone is to die for that person. There is no way that you can love someone in a greater way than that.
Den n'en deus brasoc'h karantez eget an hini a ro e vuhez evit e vignoned.
14 You [show that you] are my friends if you keep doing what I have commanded you.
C'hwi a vo va mignoned, mar grit kement a c'hourc'hemennan deoc'h.
15 I will no longer call you my servants, because servants do not know [why] their masters [want them to] do things. Instead, I have said that you are my friends, because I, [acting like a friend], have revealed to you everything that my Father told me.
N'ho kalvan ken servijerien, rak ar servijer ne oar ket petra a ra e vestr, met ho kervel a ran mignoned, abalamour ma em eus roet deoc'h da anavezout kement am eus klevet gant va Zad.
16 You did not decide to become my [disciples]. Instead, I chose you, so that you would do many things that please him [MET]. The results of what you do will last [forever]. I also chose you so that [my] Father will do for you whatever you, using my authority, ask him to do [MTY].
N'eo ket c'hwi hoc'h eus va choazet, met me eo am eus ho choazet, hag am eus ho lakaet, evit ma'z eot, ha ma tougot frouezh, ha ma vo ho frouezh kendalc'hus, ha ma roio va Zad deoc'h ar pezh a c'houlennot outañ em anv.
17 [I repeat what] I have commanded you: Love each other.”
Ar pezh a c'hourc'hemennan deoc'h eo ma en em garot an eil egile.
18 “The people who are opposed to God will hate you. When that happens, remember that they hated me first.
Mar kasa ar bed ac'hanoc'h, gouezit penaos en deus va c'hasaet a-raok deoc'h.
19 If you belonged to those who are opposed to God [MTY], they would love [you like they love] those who belong to them. But you do not belong to those who are opposed to God [MTY]. Instead, I chose you so that you would separate yourselves from [MTY] them. That is why those who are opposed to God [MTY] hate you.
Mar bijec'h eus ar bed, ar bed a garje ar pezh a vije dezhañ; met abalamour ma n'oc'h ket eus ar bed, met ma em eus ho choazet er bed, abalamour da-se eo e kasa ar bed ac'hanoc'h.
20 Remember these words that I told you: ‘No servant is greater than his master.’ [That means that you, who are like my servants, cannot expect people to treat you better than they treat me]. So, since they have (persecuted me/caused me to suffer), they will (persecute you/cause you to suffer) also. If they had paid attention to the things I taught them, they would pay attention to what you teach them.
Ho pet soñj eus ar ger am eus lavaret deoc'h: Ar mevel n'eo ket brasoc'h eget e vestr. Mar o deus va gwallgaset, e wallgasint ivez ac'hanoc'h; mar o deus miret va ger, e virint ivez hoc'h hini.
21 They will treat you like that because you [belong to] me [MTY], and because they do not know the one who sent me.
Met ober a raint deoc'h kement-se holl abalamour da'm anv, rak n'anavezont ket an hini en deus va c'haset.
22 If I had not come and spoken [God’s message] to them, they would not be guilty [of rejecting me and my message]. But now [I have come and told them God’s message, so] they will have no excuse [when God judges them] for their sin.
Ma ne vijen ket deuet, ha ma ne'm bije ket komzet outo, n'o dije ket a bec'hed; met bremañ n'o deus ket a zigarez evit o fec'hed.
23 All those who hate me, [it is as though] they hate my Father as well.
An hini a gasa ac'hanon, a gasa ivez va Zad.
24 If I had not done among them the [miracles] that no one else ever did, they would not be guilty of the sin [of rejecting me]. But now, [although] they have seen [those miracles], they have hated both me and my Father.
Ma ne'm bije ket graet en o zouez an oberoù n'en deus graet hini all ebet, n'o dije ket a bec'hed; met bremañ o deus o gwelet, hag o deus kasaet ac'hanon ha va Zad ivez.
25 But this has happened in order that these words that have been written in their Scriptures might be fulfilled {to fulfill this that [(someone/the Psalmist]) wrote in their Scriptures}: ‘They hated me for no reason.’
Met kement-se a zo evit ma vo peurc'hraet ar ger a zo skrivet en o lezenn: Va c'hasaet o deus hep abeg.
26 [Later] I will send to you from [my] Father the one who will (encourage/be like a legal counsel for) you. He is the Spirit [who will teach you God’s] truth. He will come from my Father. He will tell people about me.
Met pa vo deuet ar Frealzer, a zegasin deoc'h a-berzh an Tad, ar Spered a wirionez a zeu eus an Tad, eñ a roio testeni ac'hanon.
27 But you [disciples] must also tell people [about me], because you have been with me from the time when I started [my ministry] [MTY].”
Ha c'hwi ivez, c'hwi a roio testeni, abalamour m'emaoc'h ganin adalek ar penn-kentañ.
