Yohanes 15

1 “Nyee nye Wainti vavã la, eye Fofonyee nye Agbletɔ la.

I myself am the vine true, and the Father of Mine the vinedresser is.

2 Elãa alɔdze siwo le ŋunye eye wometsea ku o la ɖa, ke esiwo tsea ku la, eɖea wo ŋu be woagatse ku geɖe fũu wu.

Every branch in Me myself not bearing fruit He takes away it, and every one fruit bearing He prunes it that fruit more it may bear.

3 Miawo la, mia ŋu kɔ xoxo le nya siwo megblɔ na mi la ta.

Already you yourselves clean are because of the word that I have spoken to you.

4 Minɔ menye, eye nye hã manɔ mia me. Wainti ƒe alɔdze aɖeke mate ŋu atse ku nenye be wolãe ɖa tso wainti la ŋu o, eya ta miawo hã, nye manɔmee la, miate ŋu atse ku aɖeke o.

do abide in Me myself and I myself and I myself in you. Even as the branch not is able fruit to bear of itself only unless (it shall abide *N(k)O*) in the vine, so neither [are able] you only unless in Me myself (you shall abide. *N(k)O*)

5 “Nyee nye wainti la, eye miawoe nye alɔdzeawo. Ame si le menye, eye nye hã mele eme la, atse ku nyui geɖe, elabena nye manɔmee la, miate ŋu awɔ naneke o.

I myself am the vine, you [are] the branches. The [one] abiding in Me myself and I myself and I myself in him, he bears fruit much; For apart from Me not you are able to do no [thing].

6 Ame si aɖe ɖe aga tso gbɔnye la, woatsɔe aƒu gbe abe alɔdze matseku ene, eye woatɔ dzoe.

Only unless someone (shall abide *N(k)O*) in Me myself, he is thrown out like the branch and is dried up, and they gather them and into the fire cast, and it is burned.

7 Ke ne miele menye, eye nye nyawo le mia me la, nu sia nu si miabia la, woawɔe na mi.

If you shall abide in Me myself and the declarations of Mine in you shall abide, whatever if you shall wish (do yourself ask *N(k)O*) and it will happen to you.

8 Esia hea ŋutikɔkɔe vɛ na Fofonye, nenye be mietse ku geɖe, eye miefia mia ɖokuiwo abe nye nusrɔ̃lawo ene.

In this is glorified the Father of Mine, that fruit much you may bear and (you may become *N(k)O*) to Me disciples.

9 “Melɔ̃ mi abe ale si Fofo la lɔ̃m ene, eya ta minɔ nye lɔlɔ̃ la me.

even as has loved Me the Father, I myself also I myself also you loved; do abide in the love of Mine.

10 Ne miewɔa se siwo mede na mi dzi la, mianɔ nye lɔlɔ̃ la me abe ale si meɖo to Fofonye ƒe sededewo, eye menɔ eƒe lɔlɔ̃ la me ene.

If the commandments of Mine you shall keep, you will abide in the love of Mine; even as I myself the commandments of the Father of Mine have kept, and I abide of Him in the love.

11 Megblɔ nya siawo na mi be dzidzɔ si le menye la nanɔ miawo hã mia me, be miaƒe dzidzɔ nagbã go.

These things I have spoken to you that joy of Mine in you (may be *N(K)O*) and the joy of you may be full.

12 Mele se dem na mi be mialɔ̃ mia nɔewo abe ale si nye hã melɔ̃ mie ene.

This is commandment of Mine that you may love one another even as I loved you.

13 Lɔlɔ̃ gãtɔ kekeake si ame ate ŋu aɖe afia nɔvia lae nye be wòatsɔ eƒe agbe ana ɖe exɔlɔ̃wo ta.

Greater than this love no [one] has that one the life of him may lay down for the friends of him.

14 Ne miewɔ ɖe nye sewo dzi la, ekema mienye xɔ̃nyewo.

You yourselves friends of Mine are if you shall do (what things *n(o)*) (as much as *K*) I myself command you.

15 Nyemagayɔ mi be subɔlawo o, elabena aƒetɔ mate ŋu agblɔ eƒe nya ɣaɣlawo na subɔla o. Ke meyɔ mi be xɔ̃nyewo, elabena megblɔ nya sia nya si Fofo la gblɔ nam la na mi.

no longer no longer I name you servants, for the servant not knows what is doing his master; You however I have called friends, because all things that I heard from the Father of Mine I have made known to you.

16 Menye miawoe tiam o, ke boŋ nyee tia mi, eye ɖe metia mi be miayi aɖatse ku, kutsetse siwo anɔ anyi ɖaa. Eye Fofo la ana nu sia nu si miabia le nye ŋkɔ dzi la mi.

Not you yourselves Me chose, but I myself chose you and appointed you that you yourselves may go and fruit you may bear, and the fruit of you may remain; so that (which one *NK(o)*) maybe you may ask the Father in the name of Me, He may give you.

17 Mele se dem na mi be milɔ̃ mia nɔewo.

These things I command you that you may love one another.

18 “Ne xexe sia me tɔwo lé fu mi la, minyae be wolé fum gbã.

If the world you hates, you know that Me myself before you it has hated.

19 Nenye xexe sia me tɔwo mienye la, anye ne woalɔ̃ mi, ke esi metia mi tso xexea me ta la, wolé fu mi.

If of the world you were, the world then would [as its] own was loving [you]; because however of the world not you are, but I myself chose you out of the world, on account of this hates you the world.

20 Miɖo ŋku nya si megblɔ na mi la dzi be, ‘Subɔla mewua eƒe Aƒetɔ o.’ Ne woti yonyeme la, woati miawo hã yome. Nenye ɖe woɖo tom la, woaɖo to miawo hã.

do remember the word that I myself said to you: Not is a servant greater than the master of him. If Me myself they persecuted also you they will persecute; if the word of Mine they kept also yours they will keep.

21 Xexe sia me tɔwo ati mia yome, elabena mienye tɔnyewo. Woawɔ esia ɖe mia ŋu, elabena womenya ame si dɔm la o.

But these things all they will do (against *no*) (you *N(k)O*) on account of the name of Me, because not they know the [One] having sent Me.

22 Ɖe nyemeva gblɔ mawunya na wo o la, womabu fɔ wo ɖe woƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta o, gake esi wose mawunya la ta la, taflatsedodo aɖeke meli na wo o.

only unless I come and I said to them, sin not they had; now however excuse not they have for the sin of them.

23 Ame si lé fum la lé fu Fofonye hã.

The [one] Me myself hating also the Father of Mine hates.

24 Ɖe nyemewɔ nukunu gã geɖe si ame aɖeke mewɔ kpɔ le wo dome o la, anye ne womabu fɔ wo o; wokpɔ nukunu geɖe siawo, gake wolé fu nye kple Fofonye.

If the works not I had done among them that no other (did, *N(k)O*) sin not they had; now however both they have seen and have hated both Me myself and the Father of Mine;

25 Esia wu nya si wogblɔ le se la me be, ‘Wolé fum dzodzro’ la nu.

But [this is] that may be fulfilled the word in the law of them written that They hated Me without cause.’

26 “Ne Nyaxɔɖeakɔla la, ame si madɔ ɖo ɖe mi tso Fofo la gbɔ, nyateƒe ƒe Gbɔgbɔ si tso Fofo la gbɔ va la, aɖi ɖase tso ŋutinye.

When (now *ko*) may come the Helper whom I myself will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who from the Father goes forth, He will bear witness concerning Me;

27 Eye ele be miawo hã miaɖi ɖase le ŋutinye, elabena mienɔ anyi kplim tso gɔmedzedzea me ke.

Also you yourselves now bear witness, because from [the] beginning with Me you are.
