John 15
1 'I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman;
Kai teh misurkung katang doeh. A Pa teh takha katawnkung doeh.
2 every branch in me not bearing fruit, He doth take it away, and every one bearing fruit, He doth cleanse by pruning it, that it may bear more fruit;
Kai dawk a paw ka paw hoeh e a kang pueng teh bouk lah ao han. A paw ka paw e a kangnaw teh hoe a paw nahan rasoun lah o awh han.
3 already ye are clean, because of the word that I have spoken to you;
Nangmouh teh kai ni ka dei e lawk ni na thoungsak awh toe.
4 remain in me, and I in you, as the branch is not able to bear fruit of itself, if it may not remain in the vine, so neither ye, if ye may not remain in me.
Kai dawk awm awh. Kai hai nangmouh dawk ka o han. A kang ni misurkung hoi kâkuen hoehpawiteh a mahmawk a paw paw thai hoeh e patetlah nangmouh hai kai dawk na awm hoehpawiteh a paw na paw thai awh mahoeh.
5 'I am the vine, ye the branches; he who is remaining in me, and I in him, this one doth bear much fruit, because apart from me ye are not able to do anything;
Kai teh misurkung doeh. Nangmouh teh akang doeh. Kai dawk kaawm e teh kai hai ahni koe ka o van han. Ahni teh moi a paw han. Kai hoi na kâkuen hoehpawiteh banghai na sak thai awh mahoeh.
6 if any one may not remain in me, he was cast forth without as the branch, and was withered, and they gather them, and cast to fire, and they are burned;
Kai dawk kaawm hoeh e teh ka ke e a kang patetlah alawilah tâkhawng han. Hot patetlah e a kangnaw teh taminaw ni a pâkhueng vaiteh hmai dawk koung phum vaiteh a kak han.
7 if ye may remain in me, and my sayings in you may remain, whatever ye may wish ye shall ask, and it shall be done to you.
Nangmouh ni kai dawk na o awh teh kaie ka lawk hai nangmouh dawk awm pawiteh nangmouh ni na hei e naw pueng hai poe lah ao han.
8 'In this was my Father glorified, that ye may bear much fruit, and ye shall become my disciples.
Nangmouh ni a paw moikapap na paw pawi doeh, a Pa e a bawilennae a kamnue vaiteh nangmouh hai kaie hnukkâbang katang lah na o awh han.
9 According as the Father did love me, I also loved you, remain in my love;
Pa ni kai lung na pataw e patetlah kai ni nangmouh lung na pataw awh. Kaie lungpatawnae thungvah awm awh.
10 if my commandments ye may keep, ye shall remain in my love, according as I the commands of my Father have kept, and do remain in His love;
Kai ni a Pa e kâpoelawknaw ka ngâi teh a Pa ni lung na pataw e patetlah, nangmouh ni kâpoelawknaw na ngâi awh pawiteh kaie lungpatawnae dawk na o awh han.
11 these things I have spoken to you, that my joy in you may remain, and your joy may be full.
Nangmouh lunghawinae ao vaiteh nangmae lunghawinae akuep nahanelah hete lawk heh nangmouh koe ka dei.
12 'This is my command, that ye love one another, according as I did love you;
Kaie kâpoelawk teh kai ni nangmouh lungpataw e patetlah nangmouh ni buet touh hoi buet touh lungkâpataw awh.
13 greater love than this hath no one, that any one his life may lay down for his friends;
Tami ni a hui hanelah a hringnae a pasoung e hloilah ka talue e api koehai lungpatawnae alouke awm hoeh.
14 ye are my friends, if ye may do whatever I command you;
Nangmouh ni kaie kâ poe e na tarawi pawiteh ka hui lah na o awh.
15 no more do I call you servants, because the servant hath not known what his lord doth, and you I have called friends, because all things that I heard from my Father, I did make known to you.
Atu totouh hoi san telah na kaw a mahoeh toe. San ni teh a bawipa ni a sak e hno panuek hoeh. Nangmouh teh huiko lah na o awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh a Pa ni a dei e hnonaw pueng teh nangmouh koe na panue sak.
16 'Ye did not choose out me, but I chose out you, and did appoint you, that ye might go away, and might bear fruit, and your fruit might remain, that whatever ye may ask of the Father in my name, He may give you.
Nangmouh ni kai na rawi awh hoeh. Kai ni doeh nangmouh na rawi awh. Hatdawkvah, cet awh nateh ka kangning e a paw na paw awh nahane hoi ka min lahoi Pa koe na hei awh e pueng na hmu awh nahanelah nangmanaw teh kai ni na rawi awh.
17 'These things I command you, that ye love one another;
Nangmouh ni buet touh hoi buet touh lungpatawnae tawn awh telah kâ na poe.
18 if the world doth hate you, ye know that it hath hated me before you;
Talaivan taminaw ni na hmuhma awh pawiteh, nangmouh na hmuhma awh hoehnahlan vah kai hmaloe na hmuhma awh toe tie panuek awh.
19 if of the world ye were, the world its own would have been loving, and because of the world ye are not — but I chose out of the world — because of this the world hateth you.
Nangmouh ni talaivan taminaw patetlah na awm awh pawiteh, talaivan taminaw ni na lungpataw awh van han. Nangmouh teh talaivan taminaw thung hoi rawi e lah na o teh talai taminaw patetlah na o awh hoeh dawkvah talai taminaw ni na hmawt ngai awh hoeh.
20 'Remember the word that I said to you, A servant is not greater than his lord; if me they did persecute, you also they will persecute; if my word they did keep, yours also they will keep;
San teh a bawi hlak len hoeh ka tie hah thai panuek awh. Taminaw ni kai na dudam awh pawiteh nangmouh hai na dudam awh han. Ka lawk ngâi awh pawiteh na lawk hai a ngâi awh han.
21 but all these things will they do to you, because of my name, because they have not known Him who sent me;
Ahnimouh ni kai na kapatounkung a panue awh hoeh dawkvah kaie ka min kecu dawk hote hno pueng a sak awh han.
22 if I had not come and spoken to them, they were not having sin; but now pretext they have not for their sin.
Kai ni ka tho teh ahnimouh hanlah ka dei hoehpawiteh ahnimae yonnae awm hoeh. Hatei, atuvah a yonae hro thai lah awm hoeh toe.
23 'He who is hating me, doth hate also my Father;
Kai na ka hmuhma e teh a Pa hai a hmuhma
24 if I did not do among them the works that no other hath done, they were not having sin, and now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father;
Apinihai a sak boihoeh e hnonaw hah, ahnimae hma lah ka sak pouh hoehpawiteh a yonae awm hoeh. Hatei, atuvah hote hno a hmu awh nahlangva vah kai hoi a Pa hah na hmuhma awh.
25 but — that the word may be fulfilled that was written in their law — They hated me without a cause.
Ahnimae kâlawk cauk dawk thut e teh, kai hah ayawmyin lah na hmuhma awh ti e a kuep nahane doeh.
26 'And when the Comforter may come, whom I will send to you from the Father — the Spirit of truth, who from the Father doth come forth, he will testify of me;
Apa koehoi kai ni nangmouh koe ka patoun hane lawkkatang hoi kakawi e Muitha a tho toteh kaie ka kong hah a kampangkhai han.
27 and ye also do testify, because from the beginning ye are with me.
Nangmouh hai apuengcue hoi kai hoi cungtalah o awh dawkvah kai heh na kampangkhai han.
