Jọn 15
1 “Mụ onwe m bụ ezigbo osisi vaịnị ahụ. Nna m bụkwa onye ọrụ ubi.
I Am that true vine, and my Father is that husband man.
2 Ọ na-egbuda alaka ọbụla dị nʼime m nke na-adịghị amị mkpụrụ. Ma alaka ọbụla na-amị mkpụrụ ka ọ na-egbucha, ka o nwee ike mịa mkpụrụ dị ọtụtụ.
Euery branch that beareth not fruite in me, he taketh away: and euery one that beareth fruite, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruite.
3 Ugbu a, e meela ka unu dịrị ọcha nʼihi okwu m gwara unu.
Nowe are ye cleane through the worde, which I haue spoken vnto you.
4 Nọgidenụ nʼime m, ka mụ onwe m nọgidekwa nʼime unu. Dịka alaka ọbụla apụghị ịmị mkpụrụ nʼonwe ya ma ọ bụrụ na ọ nọgideghị nʼosisi vaịnị. Otu a, unu apụghịkwa ịmị mkpụrụ ma ọ bụrụ na unu anọgideghị nʼime m.
Abide in me, and I in you: as the branche cannot beare fruite of it selfe, except it abide in the vine, no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
5 “Mụ onwe m bụ osisi vaịnị ahụ; unu bụkwa alaka ya. Onye ọbụla na-anọgide nʼime m, nke mụ onwe m na-anọgidekwa nʼime ya, na-amị ọtụtụ mkpụrụ. Nʼihi na ewezuga m, unu enweghị ike ime ihe ọbụla.
I am that vine: ye are the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruite: for without me can ye doe nothing.
6 Onye ọbụla na-adịghị anọgide nʼime m dị ka alaka e gbuturu, tụpụ ya, ọ kpọnwụọ. A ga-achịkọta ya, chịnye ya nʼọkụ, o repịa.
If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branche, and withereth: and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they burne.
7 Ọ bụrụ na unu anọgide nʼime m, okwu m anọgidekwa nʼime unu, rịọọnụ ihe ọbụla unu chọrọ, a ga-emere unu ya.
If ye abide in me, and my wordes abide in you, aske what ye wil, and it shalbe done to you.
8 Nke a ga-abụrụ Nna m otuto na unu mịrị ọtụtụ mkpụrụ hie nne, ọ na-egosikwa na unu bụ ndị na-eso ụzọ m.
Herein is my Father glorified, that ye beare much fruite, and be made my disciples.
9 “Dị ka Nna sị hụ m nʼanya, otu a ka m sị hụkwa unu nʼanya. Ya mere, nọgidenụ nʼime ịhụnanya m.
As the father hath loued me, so haue I loued you: continue in that my loue.
10 Unu ga-anọgide nʼịhụnanya m ma ọ bụrụ na unu edebe iwu m. Dị ka m debere iwu Nna m ma nọgidekwa nʼịhụnanya ya.
If ye shall keepe my commandements, ye shall abide in my loue, as I haue kept my Fathers commandements, and abide in his loue.
11 Agwala m unu ihe ndị a ka ọṅụ m dịrị nʼime unu ka ọṅụ unu zukwaa oke.
These things haue I spoken vnto you, that my ioy might remaine in you, and that your ioy might be full.
12 Nke a bụkwa iwu m, ka unu hụrịta onwe unu nʼanya dị ka m siri hụ unu nʼanya.
This is my commandement, that ye loue one another, as I haue loued you.
13 Ọ dịghị onye ọbụla nwere ịhụnanya karịrị nke a na mmadụ tọgbọrọ ndụ ya nʼihi ndị enyi ya.
Greater loue then this hath no man, when any man bestoweth his life for his friendes.
14 Unu onwe unu bụkwa ndị enyi m ma ọ bụrụ na unu edebe ihe m nyere nʼiwu.
Ye are my friendes, if ye doe whatsoeuer I commaund you.
15 Anaghị m akpọkwa unu ndị ohu ọzọ. Nʼihi na ohu adịghị amatazu ihe niile onyenwe ya na-eme. Ma ana m akpọ unu ndị enyi m nʼihi na agwala m unu ihe niile m nụrụ nʼọnụ Nna m.
Henceforth call I you not seruants: for the seruant knoweth not what his master doeth: but I haue called you friends: for all things that I haue heard of my Father, haue I made knowen to you.
16 Ọ bụkwaghị unu onwe unu họọrọ m. Ọ bụ m họọrọ unu, wepụtakwa unu iche ka unu gaa mịa ọtụtụ mkpụrụ, mkpụrụ nke ga-adịgidekwa. Ya mere, Nna m ga-enye unu ihe ọbụla unu ga-arịọ nʼaha m.
Ye haue not chosen me, but I haue chosen you, and ordeined you, that ye goe and bring foorth fruite, and that your fruite remaine, that whatsoeuer ye shall aske of the Father in my Name, he may giue it you.
17 Ihe ndị a ka m na-enye unu nʼiwu, hụrịtanụ onwe unu nʼanya.
These things commaund I you, that ye loue one another.
18 “Ọ bụrụ na ụwa akpọọ unu asị, chetanụ na o buru ụzọ kpọọ m asị.
If the worlde hate you, ye knowe that it hated me before you.
19 A sị na unu bụ nke ụwa, ụwa ga-ahụ unu nʼanya dịka ndị nke ya. Ma otu ọ dị unu abụghị nke ụwa. Kama, esi m nʼime ụwa họrọ unu. Ọ bụkwa nʼihi ya ka ụwa ji akpọ unu asị.
If ye were of the worlde, the world woulde loue his owne: but because ye are not of ye world, but I haue chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
20 Chetakwanụ ihe m gwara unu, ‘Ohu adịghị adị ukwuu karịa Onyenwe ya.’Ya mere, ebe ha kpagburu m, ha ga-akpagbukwa unu. Ọ bụrụ na ha debere okwu m, ha ga-edebekwa nke unu.
Remember the word that I said vnto you, The seruant is not greater then his master. If they haue persecuted me, they will persecute you also: if they haue kept my worde, they will also keepe yours.
21 Ee, ha ga-eme unu ihe niile ndị a nʼihi aha m, na nʼihi na ha amaghị onye ahụ zitere m.
But all these things will they doe vnto you for my Names sake, because they haue not knowen him that sent me.
22 Ọ bụrụ na abịaghị m, gwa ha okwu, ikpe mmehie agaraghị ama ha. Ma ugbu a, ha enweghị ngọpụ ọbụla banyere mmehie ha.
If I had not come and spoken vnto them, they shoulde not haue had sinne: but nowe haue they no cloke for their sinne.
23 Onye ọbụla kpọrọ m asị kpọkwara Nna m asị.
He that hateth me, hateth my Father also.
24 A sị na ọrụ niile m rụrụ nʼetiti ha akarịghị ọrụ nke onye ọbụla ọzọ rụrụ, ha agaraghị abụ ndị ikpe mmehie mara. Ma ugbu a ha ahụzuola ọrụ ebube ndị a niile, ma ha nọgidekwara na-akpọ mụ na Nna m asị.
If I had not done workes among them which none other man did, they had not had sinne: but nowe haue they both seene, and haue hated both me, and my Father.
25 Nke a bụ imezu ihe e dere nʼakwụkwọ iwu ha. ‘Ha kpọrọ m asị na-enweghị ihe m mere.’
But it is that the worde might be fulfilled, that is written in their Lawe, They hated me without a cause.
26 “Mgbe Onye Ndụmọdụahụ ga-abịa, onye m ga-ezitere unu site nʼaka Nna, bụ Mmụọ eziokwu ahụ sitere na Nna pụta, ọ ga-agba ama banyere m.
But when that Comforter shall come, whom I will send vnto you from the Father, euen the Spirit of trueth, which proceedeth of the Father, he shall testifie of me.
27 Ma unu onwe unu aghaghị ịgba ama, nʼihi na mụ na unu anọọla site na mmalite.
And ye shall witnesse also, because ye haue bene with me from the beginning.
