Ioane 15
1 O WAU no ke Kumuwaina oiaio, a o ko'u Makua ka mahiwaina,
"I am the Vine--the True Vine, and my Father is the vine-dresser.
2 O ka lala hua ole iloko o'u, oia kana e oki aku; a o ka lala hua, oia kana e hoomaemae i mahuahua'e ai kona hua.
Every branch in me--if it bears no fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.
3 Ano ua maemae oukou ma ka olelo a'u i olelo aku ai ia oukou.
Already you are cleansed--through the teaching which I have given you.
4 E noho oukou iloko o'u, a owau hoi iloko o oukou. Aole e hiki i ka lala ke hoohua ma ona iho, ke pili ole i ke kumuwaina; pela e hiki ole ai ia oukou ke pili ole mai ia'u.
Continue in me, and let me continue in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself--that is, if it does not continue in the vine--so neither can you if you do not continue in me.
5 Owau no ko Kumuwaina, o oukou na lala. O ka mea e pili ana ia'u, a owau hoi ia ia, oia ke hoohua nui mai: no ka mea, aole mea iki e hiki ia oukou ke hana, ke ole wau.
I am the Vine, you are the branches. He who continues in me and in whom I continue bears abundant fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.
6 Ina e pili ole mai kekahi ia'u, ua hookaawaleia'ku ia e like me ka lala, a ua maloo: a e hoiliiliia lakou, a e hooloiia iloko o ke ahi, a ua pau i ka puhiia.
If any one does not continue in me, he is like the unfruitful branch which is at once thrown away and then withers up. Such branches they gather up and throw into the fire and they are burned.
7 Ina e pili mai oukou ia'u, a e noho ka'u mau olelo iloko o oukou, alaila, e nonoi oukou i ka oukou mea e makemake ai, a e haawiia no ia ia oukou.
"If you continue in me and my sayings continue in you, ask what you will and it shall be done for you.
8 Ma keia mea e hoouaniia'i ko'u Makua, ke hoohua oukou i ka hua he nui; a e lilo oukou i poo haumana na'u.
By this is God glorified--by your bearing abundant fruit and thus being true disciples of mine.
9 E like me ka Makua i aloha mai ai ia'u, pela hoi au i aloha aku ai ia oukou: o noho oukou iloko o kuu aloha.
As the Father has loved me, I have also loved you: continue in my love.
10 Ina e malama oukou i ka'u mau kauoha, e noho oukou iloko o kuu aloha; e like me au i malama ai i na kauoha a ko'u Makua, a e noho iloko o kona aloha.
If you obey my commands, you will continue in my love, as I have obeyed my Father's commands and continue in His love.
11 Ua olelo aku au ia mau mea, i mau ai kuu olioli no oukou, i mahuahua ai ko oukou olioli.
"These things I have spoken to you in order that I may have joy in you, and that your joy may become perfect.
12 Eia ka'u kauoha, i aloha ai oukou i kekahi i kekahi, e like me au i aloha aku ai ia oukou.
This is my commandment to you, to love one another as I have loved you.
13 Aole ko kekahi kanaka aloha i oi aku i keia, o ka waiho aku a kekahi i kona oia no kona mau hoaaloha.
No one has greater love than this--a man laying down his life for his friends.
14 O oukou ko'u mau hoaaloha, ke hana oukou i na mea a'u e kauoha nei ia oukou.
You are my friends, if you do what I command you.
15 Aole au e kapa hou aku ia oukou he poe kauwa; no ka mea, aole e ike ke kauwa i ka mea a kona haku e hana'i: aka, ua kapa aku au ia oukou he poe hoaaloha; no ka mea, ua hoike aku au ia oukou i na mea a pau a'u i lohe ai i ko'u Makua.
No longer do I call you servants, because a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, because all that I have heard from the Father I have made known to you.
16 Aole oukou i wae mai ia'u, aka, owau ka i wae aku ia oukou, a i hookaawale ia oukou, i hele ai oukou, a e hoohua mai ai i ka hua, a i mau ai hoi ko oukou hua; i haawi mai ai ka Makua ia oukou i ka mea a oukou e nonoi ai ia ia ma ko'u inoa.
It is not you who chose me, but it is I who chose you and appointed you that you might go and be fruitful and that your fruit might remain; so that whatever petition you present to the Father in my name He may give you.
17 O keia ka'u e kauoha aku nei ia oukou, e aloha aku oukou i kekahi i kekahi.
"Thus I command you to love one another.
18 Ina e inaina ko ke ao nei ia oukou, e hoomaopopo oukou, ua inaiua e mai ia ia u mamua o oukou.
If the world hates you, remember that it has first had me as the fixed object of its hatred.
19 Ina no ke no noi oukou, ina na aloha mai ke ao nei i kona iho; aole nae no ke ao nei oukou, aka, ua wae aku au ia oukou uoloko mai o ke ao nei; no ia mea, ko inaina mai noi ko ke ao noi ia oukou.
If you belonged to the world, the world would love its own property. But because you do not belong to the world, and I have chosen you out of the world--for that reason the world hates you.
20 E hoomanao oukou i ka mea a'u i olelo aku ai ia oukou, Aole i oi aku ke kauwa mamua o kona haku. Ina ua hoomaau lakou ia'u, e hoomaau no hoi lakou ia oukou: ina ua malama lakou i ka'u olelo, e malama no hoi lakou i ka oukou.
Bear in mind what I said to you, 'A servant is not superior to his master.' If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you: if they have obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also.
21 E hana mai no lakou ia mau mea ia oukou no ko'u inoa, no ko lakou ike ole i ka mea nana au i hoouna mai.
But they will inflict all this suffering upon you on account of your bearing my name--because they do not know Him who sent me.
22 Ina aole au i holo mai, a olelo aku ia lakou, ina aole o lakou hewa. Ano hoi, aohe o lakou mea e uhi ai i ko lakou hewa.
"If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have had no sin; but as the case stands they are without excuse for their sin.
23 O ka mea e inaina mai ia'u, ua inaina no hoi ia i ko'u Makua.
He who hates me hates my Father also.
24 Ina wau i hana ole iwaena o lakou i na hana aole i hanaia e kekahi mea e, ina ua hewa ole lakou: ano hoi, ua ike lakou, a ua inaiua mai lakou ia'u, a me ko'u Makua.
If I had not done among them, as I have, such miracles as no one else ever did, they would have had no sin; but they have in fact seen and also hated both me and my Father.
25 Pela i ko ai ka olelo i palapalaia iloko o ko lakou kanawai, Ua inaina kumu ole mai lakou ia'u.
But this has been so, in order that the saying may be fulfilled which stands written in their Law, 'They have hated me without any reason.'
26 Aia hiki mai ke Kokua, ka mea e hoounaia e au mai ka Makua mai, oia ka Uhaue oiaio, ka mea i hele mai mai ka Makua mai, nana no e hoike aku no'u:
"When the Advocate is come whom I will send to you from the Father's presence--the Spirit of Truth who comes forth from the Father's presence--He will be a witness concerning me.
27 O oukou no hoi kekahi e hoike aku, no ka mea, me au no oukou mai ke kumu mai.
And you also are witnesses, because you have been with me from the first.
