Uyuhana 15
1 Mi mani nijee nika dure, Aco um ugomo avara mani.
"I am the Vine--the True Vine, and my Father is the vine-dresser.
2 Birii bige sa bida bi yozo ba, madi gwanika bini bi gesa bi yozo ahana madi bari bini bati bi yozo ahana gbardan.
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 Shi anime izi lau barki tize tum sa ma buka shi.
Already you are cleansed--through the teaching which I have given you.
4 Cukunoni anyimo am, mi anyimo ashi me, kasi birii bi gebe sa bida yozo me ahana inice nume ba se inka ba cukuno ba, se ya cukuna atini me, ane ani shime ida rusa shi ba, seya cukuno ahira am.
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 Mi mani nijii nimkadure, shi wani iri me, de sa ma ciki anyimo am, anyimo am, anyimo ame, anime iyozo ahana gbardan; Ingi azo nami ba, ida wuza shi iri mum ba.
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 Ingi da unu ma cukuno anyimo am ba, adi suso me anyimo ti cukum ti birii, ma ku waa, adi urso we we areki anyimo uraa abuzi we.
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 Ingi iciki anyimo am, tize ashime igizo timumum bisa inyara adi wuzi shini.
"If you continue in me and my sayings continue in you, ask what you will and it shall be done for you.
8 Ahira sa anozo aco am ni, nyizani ahana gbardan, ane ani idi cukunu ahana akatuma kam.
By this is God glorified--by your bearing abundant fruit and thus being true disciples of mine.
9 Ane ani aco um, ma wusu um, ani ani mi ma wuna usu ushi, cukuno ni anyimo anu su um.
As the Father has loved me, I have also loved you: continue in my love.
10 Ingi ya kuna tize tum, idi cukuno anyimo anu su um; Kasi sa mi ma kuna tize ta co um, in ciki anyimo anu su umeme.
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 Ma buka shi tize tigeme barki iriba irum im, icukunu anyimo a shi me, barki iriba irum ishime i myinca.
"These things I have spoken to you in order that I may have joy in you, and that your joy may become perfect.
12 Ubuka um anime, iwu usu ace ashime kasi mime sa wuna usu ushi.
This is my commandment to you, to love one another as I have loved you.
13 Uye mazo me unu su, sa utaki ugeme ba, kasi unu ma nya nice nume barki aroni ame ba.
No one has greater love than this--a man laying down his life for his friends.
14 Shi wani aroni am ingi ya wuza imumbe sa ma buka shi.
You are my friends, if you do what I command you.
15 Ida ka guna shi arere ba, urere mada rusa me umum besa una kura ame ma wu za ba, barki anime ma guna shi aroni, barki imum sa ma kuna ahira aco um, buka shi.
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 Azo shi wani ya zaukam ba, mi mani ma zauka shi barki idusa ika nyoza ahana, timum tishi me ti cukuno anime; Ibinani imum besa idi iki ahira aco anyimo aniza num, ma nya shi.
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 Timum ti geme inboshi, barki iwusu acece ahi.
"Thus I command you to love one another.
18 Ingi unee wa ga shi, urusa ni wa mu gami uduku gami shi.
If the world hates you, remember that it has first had me as the fixed object of its hatred.
19 Da anu nee wani shi, nee uda wuna usu um, barki sa shi anu nee wani ba, barki sa shi zauka shi anyimo unee, ine ini ya wuna unee wa ga shi.
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 Ringi tize me sa ma buka shi, urere mada teki me una kura ame ba, ingi wa yomom wada yomi kunna tishi me.
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 Wadi wuzi shi timum tigino me vat, barki niza num, barki wada rusa desa ma tumam ba.
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 Barki ma eh in bukuwe tizeba, wada madini ba ana me wazo we ini mum ibukaba wa mu wuza imum izenzen.
"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 De sa ma gami ma game aco am.
He who hates me hates my Father also.
24 Barki da ma wuzi timum sa da uye ma wuzi ba, ahira aweme, wada zo we ini mumu izenzen ba; Ana me wa iram, wakuru na ga mi ubata aco ume.
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 Ya cukuno anime barki a myinca tize ta Asere sa a nyetika, wagu mi sarki iri imum.
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 Uganiya sa unu benki ma aye desa idi tumi shini urusu ahira aco bibe bika dure desa ma suso ahira aco, madi bezi shi mi.
"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 Shi idi rusum, barki sa izi nan mi dati utuba.
And you also are witnesses, because you have been with me from the first.
