Yohanes 15
1 “Nyee nye Wainti vavã la, eye Fofonyee nye Agbletɔ la.
I am the true vine; and my Father is the cultivator.
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, which yieldeth not fruits, he taketh it away: and that which yieldeth fruits, he cleanseth it, that it may yield more fruits.
3 Miawo la, mia ŋu kɔ xoxo le nya siwo megblɔ na mi la ta.
Ye henceforth are clean, on account of the discourse I have held with 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.
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot yield fruits of itself, unless it abide in the vine; so also, neither can ye, unless ye abide in me.
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 am the vine, and ye are the branches. He that abideth in me, and I in him, he yieldeth much fruit; for without me, ye can do nothing.
6 Ame si aɖe ɖe aga tso gbɔnye la, woatsɔe aƒu gbe abe alɔdze matseku ene, eye woatɔ dzoe.
And if a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a withered branch; and they gather it up, and cast it into the fire to be burned.
7 Ke ne miele menye, eye nye nyawo le mia me la, nu sia nu si miabia la, woawɔe na mi.
But if ye shall abide in me, and my instructions shall abide in you, whatever ye shall be pleased to ask, it will be given 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 the Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; and ye will be my disciples.
9 “Melɔ̃ mi abe ale si Fofo la lɔ̃m ene, eya ta minɔ nye lɔlɔ̃ la me.
As my Father hath loved me, I also have loved you: abide ye in the love of me.
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 ye shall keep my commands, ye will abide in the love of me, as I have kept the commands of my Father, and abide in his 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 have I spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete.
12 Mele se dem na mi be mialɔ̃ mia nɔewo abe ale si nye hã melɔ̃ mie ene.
This is my command, that ye love one another, as I have loved you.
13 Lɔlɔ̃ gãtɔ kekeake si ame ate ŋu aɖe afia nɔvia lae nye be wòatsɔ eƒe agbe ana ɖe exɔlɔ̃wo ta.
There is no greater love than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
14 Ne miewɔ ɖe nye sewo dzi la, ekema mienye xɔ̃nyewo.
Ye are my friends, if ye do all that I 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.
I no longer call you servants; because a servant knoweth not what his lord doeth; but I have called you my friends; because, whatever I have heard from my Father, 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.
It is not ye that chose me, but I that have chosen you; and I have appointed you, that ye also should go and yield fruits, and that your fruits should continue; so that whatever ye may ask of my Father in my name, he may give it you.
17 Mele se dem na mi be milɔ̃ mia nɔewo.
These things I command you, that ye should love one another.
18 “Ne xexe sia me tɔwo lé fu mi la, minyae be wolé fum gbã.
And if the world hate you, know ye, that it hated me before you.
19 Nenye xexe sia me tɔwo mienye la, anye ne woalɔ̃ mi, ke esi metia mi tso xexea me ta la, wolé fu mi.
And if ye were of the world, the world would love what is of it. But ye are not of the world, for I have chosen you out of the world; for this cause, the world hateth you.
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.
Remember the word that I spoke to you, That there is no servant, who is greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; and if they have observed my teaching, they will also observe yours.
21 Xexe sia me tɔwo ati mia yome, elabena mienye tɔnyewo. Woawɔ esia ɖe mia ŋu, elabena womenya ame si dɔm la o.
But all these things will they do to you, on account of my name, because they know not him that 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.
If I had not come and discoursed with them, sin would not have been to them; but now there is no excuse for their sins.
23 Ame si lé fum la lé fu Fofonye hã.
He that hateth me, hateth my Father also.
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 I had not wrought before them works which no other person ever did, sin would not have been to them: but now they have seen, and have hated, both me and my Father;
25 Esia wu nya si wogblɔ le se la me be, ‘Wolé fum dzodzro’ la nu.
so that in them will be fulfilled the word which is written in their law: They hated me, without a 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.
But when the Comforter shall come, whom I will send to you from my Father, that Spirit of truth who proceedeth from the Father, He will testify of me.
27 Eye ele be miawo hã miaɖi ɖase le ŋutinye, elabena mienɔ anyi kplim tso gɔmedzedzea me ke.
And do ye also testify; for ye have been with me from the beginning.
