Jaona 15
1 Izaho no tena voaloboka, ary ny Raiko no mpamboatra.
I am the true vine; and my Father is the cultivator.
2 Ny sampany rehetra eo amiko izay tsy mamoa dia esoriny; fa ny sampany rehetra izay mamoa kosa dia amboariny, mba hamoa bebe kokoa.
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 Efa madio rahateo ianareo noho ny teniko, izay nolazaiko taminareo.
Ye henceforth are clean, on account of the discourse I have held with you.
4 Tomoera amiko ary Izaho aminareo. Tahaka ny sampany tsy mahay mamoa ho azy, raha tsy miray amin’ ny voaloboka izy, dia toy izany koa ianareo, raha tsy miray amiko.
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 Izaho no voaloboka, ianareo no sampany. Izay miray amiko, ary Izaho aminy, dia mamoa be izy; fa raha misaraka amiko kosa ianareo, dia tsy mahay manao na inona na inona.
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 Raha misy tsy miray amiko, dia ariana eny ivelany tahaka ny sampany izy ka malazo; ary angonina izy ka atsipy ao anaty afo, dia ho may.
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 Raha miray amiko ianareo, ka mitoetra ao anatinareo ny teniko, dia angataho izay tianareo na inona na inona, fa ho tonga aminareo izany.
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 Izany no ankalazana ny Raiko, mba hamoazanareo be ka ho tonga mpianatro ianareo.
In this is the Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; and ye will be my disciples.
9 Tahaka ny nitiavan’ ny Ray Ahy no nitiavako anareo; tomoera amin’ ny fitiavako ianareo.
As my Father hath loved me, I also have loved you: abide ye in the love of me.
10 Raha mitandrina ny didiko ianareo, dia hitoetra amin’ ny fitiavako, tahaka ny nitandremako ny didin’ ny Raiko sy ny itoerako amin’ ny fitiavany.
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 Izany zavatra izany dia efa nolazaiko taminareo, mba ho ao aminareo ny fifaliako, ka ho tanteraka ny fifalianareo.
These things have I spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete.
12 Izao no didiko, dia ny mba hifankatiavanareo tahaka ny nitiavako anareo.
This is my command, that ye love one another, as I have loved you.
13 Tsy misy manana fitiavana lehibe noho izao, dia ny manolotra ny ainy hamonjy ny sakaizany.
There is no greater love than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
14 Hianareo no sakaizako, raha manao araka izay andidiako anareo.
Ye are my friends, if ye do all that I command you.
15 Tsy hataoko hoe mpanompo intsony ianareo, fa ny mpanompo tsy mahalala izay ataon’ ny tompony; fa efa nataoko hoe sakaiza ianareo, satria izay rehetra reko tamin’ ny Raiko no nambarako taminareo.
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 Tsy ianareo no nifidy Ahy, fa Izaho no nifidy anareo ka nanendry anareo mba handeha sy hamoa, ary mba haharetan’ ny vokatrareo, mba homen’ ny Ray anareo izay rehetra hangatahinareo amin’ ny anarako na inona na inona.
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 Izany zavatra izany no andidiako anareo, mba hifankatiavanareo.
These things I command you, that ye should love one another.
18 Raha halan’ izao tontolo izao ianareo, dia aoka ho fantatrareo fa Izaho efa halany talohanareo.
And if the world hate you, know ye, that it hated me before you.
19 Raha naman’ izao tontolo izao ianareo, dia ho tia ny azy izao tontolo izao; fa satria tsy naman’ izao tontolo izao ianareo, fa Izaho efa nifidy anareo tamin’ izao tontolo izao, dia halan’ izao tontolo izao ianareo.
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 Tsarovy ny teny izay nolazaiko taminareo hoe: Ny mpanompo tsy lehibe noho ny tompony. Raha nanenjika Ahy izy, dia hanenjika anareo koa; ary raha nitandrina ny teniko izy, dia hitandrina ny anareo koa.
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 Fa izany rehetra izany no hataony aminareo noho ny anarako, satria tsy mahalala Izay naniraka Ahy izy.
But all these things will they do to you, on account of my name, because they know not him that sent me.
22 Raha tsy tonga Aho ka niteny taminy, dia tsy nanan-keloka izy; fa ankehitriny dia tsy misy fialàna azony atao ny amin’ ny helony.
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 Izay mankahala Ahy dia mankahala ny Raiko koa.
He that hateth me, hateth my Father also.
24 Raha tsy nataoko teo aminy Izay asa tsy nataon’ olona, dia tsy nanan-keloka izy; fa ankehitriny efa hitany sady efa halany Ahy sy ny Raiko koa;
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 fa tonga izany mba hahatanteraka ny teny izay voasoratra ao amin’ ny lalàny hoe: Halany foana Aho.
so that in them will be fulfilled the word which is written in their law: They hated me, without a cause.
26 Fa raha tonga ny Mpananatra, Izay hirahiko ho aminareo avy amin’ ny Ray, dia ny Fanahin’ ny fahamarinana Izay mivoaka avy amin’ ny Ray, dia Izy no ho vavolombelona hanambara Ahy.
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 Ary ianareo koa dia vavolombelona hanambara, satria ianareo efa teto amiko hatramin’ ny voalohany.
And do ye also testify; for ye have been with me from the beginning.
