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.
| اَہَں سَتْیَدْراکْشالَتاسْوَرُوپو مَمَ پِتا تُودْیانَپَرِچارَکَسْوَرُوپَنْچَ۔ |
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].
| مَمَ یاسُ شاکھاسُ پھَلانِ نَ بھَوَنْتِ تاح سَ چھِنَتِّ تَتھا پھَلَوَتْیَح شاکھا یَتھادھِکَپھَلانِ پھَلَنْتِ تَدَرْتھَں تاح پَرِشْکَروتِ۔ |
3 You are already [like] the branches [that a gardener] trims because [you have believed] the message that I have told you.
| اِدانِیں مَیوکْتوپَدیشینَ یُویَں پَرِشْکرِتاح۔ |
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].
| اَتَح کارَناتْ مَیِ تِشْٹھَتَ تیناہَمَپِ یُشْماسُ تِشْٹھامِ، یَتو ہیتو رْدْراکْشالَتایامْ اَسَںلَگْنا شاکھا یَتھا پھَلَوَتِی بھَوِتُں نَ شَکْنوتِ تَتھا یُویَمَپِ مَیَّتِشْٹھَنْتَح پھَلَوَنْتو بھَوِتُں نَ شَکْنُتھَ۔ |
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].
| اَہَں دْراکْشالَتاسْوَرُوپو یُویَنْچَ شاکھاسْوَرُوپوح؛ یو جَنو مَیِ تِشْٹھَتِ یَتْرَ چاہَں تِشْٹھامِ، سَ پْرَچُورَپھَلَیح پھَلَوانْ بھَوَتِ، کِنْتُ ماں وِنا یُویَں کِمَپِ کَرْتُّں نَ شَکْنُتھَ۔ |
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.
| یَح کَشْچِنْ مَیِ نَ تِشْٹھَتِ سَ شُشْکَشاکھیوَ بَہِ رْنِکْشِپْیَتے لوکاشْچَ تا آہرِتْیَ وَہْنَو نِکْشِپْیَ داہَیَنْتِ۔ |
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.
| یَدِ یُویَں مَیِ تِشْٹھَتھَ مَمَ کَتھا چَ یُشْماسُ تِشْٹھَتِ تَرْہِ یَدْ وانْچھِتْوا یاچِشْیَدھْوے یُشْماکَں تَدیوَ سَپھَلَں بھَوِشْیَتِ۔ |
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.
| یَدِ یُویَں پْرَچُورَپھَلَوَنْتو بھَوَتھَ تَرْہِ تَدْوارا مَمَ پِتُ رْمَہِما پْرَکاشِشْیَتے تَتھا یُویَں مَمَ شِشْیا اِتِ پَرِکْشایِشْیَدھْوے۔ |
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.
| پِتا یَتھا مَیِ پْرِیتَوانْ اَہَمَپِ یُشْماسُ تَتھا پْرِیتَوانْ اَتو ہیتو رْیُویَں نِرَنْتَرَں مَمَ پْریمَپاتْرانِ بھُوتْوا تِشْٹھَتَ۔ |
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.
| اَہَں یَتھا پِتُراجْنا گرِہِیتْوا تَسْیَ پْریمَبھاجَنَں تِشْٹھامِ تَتھَیوَ یُویَمَپِ یَدِ مَماجْنا گُہْلِیتھَ تَرْہِ مَمَ پْریمَبھاجَنانِ سْتھاسْیَتھَ۔ |
11 I have told you these things so that you may be joyful as I [am joyful], and that you may be completely joyful.
| یُشْمَنِّمِتَّں مَمَ یَ آہْلادَح سَ یَتھا چِرَں تِشْٹھَتِ یُشْماکَمْ آنَنْدَشْچَ یَتھا پُورْیَّتے تَدَرْتھَں یُشْمَبھْیَمْ ایتاح کَتھا اَتْرَکَتھَمْ۔ |
12 What I am commanding you is this: Love each other just like I have loved you.
| اَہَں یُشْماسُ یَتھا پْرِییے یُویَمَپِ پَرَسْپَرَں تَتھا پْرِییَدھْوَمْ ایشا مَماجْنا۔ |
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.
| مِتْراناں کارَناتْ سْوَپْرانَدانَپَرْیَّنْتَں یَتْ پْریمَ تَسْمانْ مَہاپْریمَ کَسْیاپِ ناسْتِ۔ |
14 You [show that you] are my friends if you keep doing what I have commanded you.
| اَہَں یَدْیَدْ آدِشامِ تَتَّدیوَ یَدِ یُویَمْ آچَرَتَ تَرْہِ یُویَمیوَ مَمَ مِتْرانِ۔ |
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.
| اَدْیارَبھْیَ یُشْمانْ داسانْ نَ وَدِشْیامِ یَتْ پْرَبھُ رْیَتْ کَروتِ داسَسْتَدْ نَ جاناتِ؛ کِنْتُ پِتُح سَمِیپے یَدْیَدْ اَشرِنَوَں تَتْ سَرْوَّں یُوشْمانْ اَجْناپَیَمْ تَتْکارَنادْ یُشْمانْ مِتْرانِ پْروکْتَوانْ۔ |
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].
| یُویَں ماں روچِتَوَنْتَ اِتِ نَ، کِنْتْوَہَمیوَ یُشْمانْ روچِتَوانْ یُویَں گَتْوا یَتھا پھَلانْیُتْپادَیَتھَ تانِ پھَلانِ چاکْشَیانِ بھَوَنْتِ، تَدَرْتھَں یُشْمانْ نْیَجُنَجَں تَسْمانْ مَمَ نامَ پْروچْیَ پِتَرَں یَتْ کِنْچِدْ یاچِشْیَدھْوے تَدیوَ سَ یُشْمَبھْیَں داسْیَتِ۔ |
17 [I repeat what] I have commanded you: Love each other.”
| یُویَں پَرَسْپَرَں پْرِییَدھْوَمْ اَہَمْ اِتْیاجْناپَیامِ۔ |
18 “The people who are opposed to God will hate you. When that happens, remember that they hated me first.
| جَگَتو لوکَے رْیُشْماسُ رِتِییِتیشُ تے پُورْوَّں مامیوارْتِّییَنْتَ اِتِ یُویَں جانِیتھَ۔ |
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.
| یَدِ یُویَں جَگَتو لوکا اَبھَوِشْیَتَ تَرْہِ جَگَتو لوکا یُشْمانْ آتْمِییانْ بُدّھواپْریشْیَنْتَ؛ کِنْتُ یُویَں جَگَتو لوکا نَ بھَوَتھَ، اَہَں یُشْمانْ اَسْماجَّگَتوروچَیَمْ ایتَسْماتْ کارَناجَّگَتو لوکا یُشْمانْ رِتِییَنْتے۔ |
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.
| داسَح پْرَبھو رْمَہانْ نَ بھَوَتِ مَمَیتَتْ پُورْوِّییَں واکْیَں سْمَرَتَ؛ تے یَدِ مامیواتاڈَیَنْ تَرْہِ یُشْمانَپِ تاڈَیِشْیَنْتِ، یَدِ مَمَ واکْیَں گرِہْلَنْتِ تَرْہِ یُشْماکَمَپِ واکْیَں گْرَہِیشْیَنْتِ۔ |
21 They will treat you like that because you [belong to] me [MTY], and because they do not know the one who sent me.
| کِنْتُ تے مَمَ نامَکارَنادْ یُشْمانْ پْرَتِ تادرِشَں وْیَوَہَرِشْیَنْتِ یَتو یو ماں پْریرِتَوانْ تَں تے نَ جانَنْتِ۔ |
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.
| تیشاں سَنِّدھِمْ آگَتْیَ یَدْیَہَں ناکَتھَیِشْیَں تَرْہِ تیشاں پاپَں نابھَوِشْیَتْ کِنْتْوَدھُنا تیشاں پاپَماچّھادَیِتُمْ اُپایو ناسْتِ۔ |
23 All those who hate me, [it is as though] they hate my Father as well.
| یو جَنو مامْ رِتِییَتے سَ مَمَ پِتَرَمَپِ رِتِییَتے۔ |
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.
| یادرِشانِ کَرْمّانِ کیناپِ کَداپِ ناکْرِیَنْتَ تادرِشانِ کَرْمّانِ یَدِ تیشاں ساکْشادْ اَہَں ناکَرِشْیَں تَرْہِ تیشاں پاپَں نابھَوِشْیَتْ کِنْتْوَدھُنا تے درِشْٹْواپِ ماں مَمَ پِتَرَنْچارْتِّییَنْتَ۔ |
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.’
| تَسْماتْ تےکارَنَں مامْ رِتِییَنْتے یَدیتَدْ وَچَنَں تیشاں شاسْتْرے لِکھِتَماسْتے تَتْ سَپھَلَمْ اَبھَوَتْ۔ |
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.
| کِنْتُ پِتُ رْنِرْگَتَں یَں سَہایَمَرْتھاتْ سَتْیَمَیَمْ آتْمانَں پِتُح سَمِیپادْ یُشْماکَں سَمِیپے پْریشَیِشْیامِ سَ آگَتْیَ مَیِ پْرَمانَں داسْیَتِ۔ |
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].”
| یُویَں پْرَتھَمَمارَبھْیَ مَیا سارْدّھَں تِشْٹھَتھَ تَسْمادّھیتو رْیُویَمَپِ پْرَمانَں داسْیَتھَ۔ |
