Jan 15
1 Mwen se pye rezen tout bon an. Papa m' se moun k'ap okipe pye rezen an.
“I AM the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser;
2 Li koupe tout branch nan mwen ki pa donnen. Li netwaye tout branch ki donnen pou yo ka donnen plis toujou.
every branch not bearing fruit in Me, He takes it away, and everyone bearing fruit, He cleanses by pruning it, that it may bear more fruit;
3 Nou menm, avèk tou sa m' moutre nou yo, nou deja nan kondisyon pou n' fè volonte Bondye.
you are already clean, because of the word that I have spoken to you;
4 Se pou n' fè yonn ak mwen, menm jan mwen fè yonn ak nou. Yon branch pa ka donnen pou kont li si l' pa fè yonn ak pye rezen an. Konsa tou, nou p'ap kapab donnen si nou pa fè yonn ak mwen.
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 you, if you may not remain in Me.
5 Mwen se pye rezen an, nou se branch yo. Moun ki fè yonn avè m', moun mwen fè yonn ak li, l'ap donnen anpil, paske nou pa kapab fè anyen san mwen.
I AM the vine, you the branches; he who is remaining in Me, and I in him, this one bears much fruit, because apart from Me you are not able to do anything;
6 Moun ki pa fè yonn ak mwen, y'ap koupe l' voye jete; l'ap cheche tankou yon branch bwa. Lè branch bwa yo cheche, yo ranmase yo, yo jete yo nan dife, yo boule yo.
if anyone may not remain in Me, he was cast forth outside as the branch, and was withered, and they gather them, and cast into fire, and they are burned;
7 Si nou fè yonn ak mwen, si nou kenbe pawòl mwen yo nan kè nou, nou mèt mande sa nou vle, y'a ban nou li.
if you may remain in Me, and My sayings may remain in you, whatever you may wish you will ask, and it will be done to you.
8 Men ki jan pouvwa Papa m' lan va parèt aklè: se lè nou donnen anpil, lè nou fè wè se disip mwen nou ye.
In this was My Father glorified, that you may bear much fruit, and you will become My disciples.
9 Jan Papa a renmen m' lan, se konsa mwen renmen nou tou. Nou menm, se pou nou renmen menm jan mwen renmen nou an.
According as the Father loved Me, I also loved you, remain in My love;
10 Si nou fè tou sa mwen ban nou lòd fè a, n'a renmen m' tou menm jan mwen renmen nou an. Menm jan mwen menm, mwen fè tou sa Papa a te ban m' lòd fè a, mwen renmen l' menm jan li renmen m' tou.
if you may keep My commands, you will remain in My love, according as I have kept the commands of My Father, and remain in His love;
11 Mwen di nou tou sa pou kè kontan m' lan ka nan nou, pou nou ka kontan nèt ale.
these things I have spoken to you, that My joy in you may remain, and your joy may be full.
12 Men kòmandman m'ap ban nou: Se pou nou yonn renmen lòt menm jan mwen renmen nou.
This is My command, that you love one another, according as I loved you;
13 Pa gen pi bon jan pou ou moutre jan ou renmen zanmi ou pase lè ou bay lavi ou pou yo.
greater love has no one than this, that anyone may lay down his life for his friends;
14 Nou tout, se zanmi m' nou ye depi nou fè sa m' mande nou fè.
you are My friends if you may do whatever I command you;
15 Mwen p'ap rele nou domestik, paske yon domestik pa konnen sa mèt li ap fè. M'ap rele nou zanmi paske mwen fè nou konnen tou sa Papa a te moutre mwen.
I no longer call you servants, because the servant has not known what his lord does, and I have called you friends, because all things that I heard from My Father, I made known to you.
16 Se pa nou ki chwazi m', se mwen menm ki chwazi nou, ki mete nou apa pou n' ale, pou n' ka donnen, pou donn nou ka konsève. Konsa, Papa a va ban nou nenpòt kisa n'a mande nan non mwen.
You did not choose Me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that you might go away, and might bear fruit, and your fruit might remain, that whatever you may ask of the Father in My Name, He may give you.
17 Wi, men sa m' mande nou: Se pou nou yonn renmen lòt.
These things I command you, that you love one another;
18 Si moun k'ap viv dapre prensip lemonn yo rayi nou, pa bliye yo te rayi m' anvan yo te rayi nou.
if the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before you;
19 Si nou te moun lemonn, lemonn ta renmen nou, paske nou ta pou li. Men, mwen chwazi nou, mwen wete nou anba pouvwa lemonn. Se poutèt sa lemonn rayi nou: nou pa moun lemonn ankò.
if you were of the world, the world would have been cherishing its own, but because you are not of the world, but I chose [you] out of the world—because of this the world hates you.
20 Chonje sa m' te di nou: Yon domestik pa janm pi grannèg pase mèt li. Si yo pèsekite m', y'a pèsekite nou tou. Si yo fè sa m' te moutre yo, y'a fè sa n'a moutre yo tou.
Remember the word that I said to you: A servant is not greater than his lord; if they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word, they will also keep yours;
21 Men, y'ap fè nou tou sa poutèt mwen, paske yo pa konnen moun ki te voye m' lan.
but all these things will they do to you, because of My Name, because they have not known Him who sent Me;
22 Si m' pa t' vini, si m' pa t' pale avè yo, yo pa ta antò, yo pa ta fè peche. Men, koulye a yo pa gen eskiz pou peche yo.
if I had not come and spoken to them, they were not having sin; but now they have no pretext for their sin.
23 Moun ki rayi m', li rayi Papa m' tou.
He who is hating Me, hates My Father also;
24 Si m' pa t' fè bagay okenn lòt moun pa t' janm fè nan mitan yo, yo pa ta antò, yo pa ta fè peche. Men, koulye a yo wè sa m' fè, yo rayi ni mwen ni Papa mwen.
if I did not do among them the works that no other has done, they were not having sin, and now they have both seen and hated both Me and My Father;
25 Men, yo fè tou sa pou pawòl ki ekri nan Lalwa yo a te ka rive vre: Yo rayi m' san m' pa fè yo anyen.
but—that the word may be fulfilled that was written in their law—They hated Me without a cause.
26 Moun ki gen pou ankouraje nou an ap vini, se Lespri k'ap moutre nou verite a, se nan Bondye li soti. Papa a ap ban mwen l' pou m' voye ban nou, la pale nou sou mwen.
And when the Comforter may come, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth, who comes forth from the Father, He will testify of Me;
27 Nou menm tou, n'a pale sou mwen, paske nou te la avè m' depi nan konmansman.
and you also testify, because you are with Me from the beginning.”
