Jaona 15
1 Izaho ro vahe to, i Raeko ro mpañalahala.
I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine-dresser.
2 Fonga afaha’e añe ze singa amako tsy mamoa vaho hene tsengoe’e ze mamoa, hampiegoego o voa’eo.
Every branch in me that bears no fruit, he takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.
3 Fa malio nahareo ty amo tsara nitaroñekoo.
Now are you pure, through the word which I have spoken to you.
4 Mimoneña amako, le izaho ama’ areo. Toe tsy hamoa ty singa tsy mipitek’ ami’ty foto’e, àntsake nahareo naho tsy mimoneñe amako.
Abide in me, and I will abide in you. As the branch can not bear fruit of itself, unless it abide in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in me.
5 Izaho ty vahe, singa’e nahareo. Ze mimoneñe amako naho izaho ama’e, ie ty hirotrarotra, fa tsy maha-pi-draha t’ie tsy amako.
I am the vine, you are the branches. He that abides in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; for apart from me you can do nothing.
6 Ndra ia’ ia tsy mimoneñe amako ro hahifik’ añe hoe singa, hiheatse, atontoñe naho ariañe añ’afo ao hiforototo.
If any one abide not in me, he is thrown out as a branch, and withers; and such are gathered, and thrown into the fire, and burned.
7 Ie mimoneñe amako, naho mitobe añ’arofo’ areo ao o volakoo le ihalalio ze satrie’ areo vaho hanoañe.
If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done for you.
8 Zao ty fandrengeañe an-dRaeko, t’ie mahavokatse bey hamente te mpiamako.
In this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; and in this you will be my disciples.
9 Manahake ty fikokoan-dRaeko ahy ty fikokoako anahareo. Aa le mimoneña amo fikokoakoo.
As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you; abide in my love.
10 Ie ambena’ areo o lilikoo le himoneñe am-pikokoako ao, manahake ty fiambenako o lilin-dRaekoo naho mimoneñe am-pikokoa’e ao.
If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love, even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.
11 Nitaroñako irezay soa te ho ama’areo ty hafaleako vaho ho eneñe ty haeha’ areo.
These things have I spoken to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.
12 Zao o lilikoo: t’ie mifanao roakolahy hambañe amy nikokoakoy.
This is my commandment: That you love one another, as I have loved you.
13 Tsy eo ty mikoko mandikoatse zao t’ie hahafoe ty fiai’e ho an-drañe’e.
Greater love has no man than this, that one should lay down his life for his friends.
14 Rañeko nahareo naho manao ze andiliako.
You are my friends, if you do whatever I command you.
15 Tsy t’ie hanoeko mpitoroñe ka, amy te tsy fohi’ ty mpitoroñe ty anoe’ i talè’ey; nataoko rañetse amy te nampandrendrehako ze hene tsinanoko aman-dRaeko.
I no longer call you servants, because the servant knows not what his master does. But I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard from my Father, I have made known to you.
16 Tsy inahareo ty nijoboñe ahy, fa izaho ty nijoboñe anahareo naho tinendreko homb’eo hamokatse vaho hañambeñe o nivokare’ areoo; le ndra inoñ’ inoñe ty halalie’ areo aman-dRaeko ami’ty añarako ro hatolo’e.
You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and appointed you, that you may go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit may remain; that whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he may give you.
17 Zao ty andiliako anahareo: mifampikokoa.
These things I command you, that you may love one another.
18 Naho malaim-bintañe anahareo ty voatse toy, fohino t’ie nalaiñe ahy hey.
If the world hates you, you know that it hated me before it hated you.
19 Ie nimpiami’ ty voatse toy, ho niteà’ ty voatse toy o azeo. F’ie tsy mpiami’ty voatse toy, amy te jinoboko boak’ ami’ty voatse toy, aa le malaiñe anahareo ty voatse toy.
If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
20 Tiahio o tsara nivolañakoo, te: Tsy bey te amy talè’ey ty mpitoroñe. Aa naho nanoe’ iereo samporerake iraho, àntsake t’ie ho samporeraheñe. Aa naho folokokoe’ iereo o volakoo, le ho tambozore’ iereo ka ty anahareo.
Remember the word which I spoke to you, The servant is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my word, they will keep yours also.
21 Toe hanoe’ iereo ama’ areo i hene rezay ami’ty añarako, amy te nofi’ iereo i nañitrik’ Ahiy.
But all these things they will do to you on my account, because they know not him that sent me.
22 Naho tsy nipok’ eo iraho nitaroñe am’iereo, le tsy ho nanan-kakeo, fe tsy eo henaneo ty iveroha’e amo tahiñeo.
If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.
23 Ze malaiñe ahy, malaiñe an-dRaeko.
He that hates me, hates my Father also.
24 Aa naho tsy nanoeko am’iereo ao o fitoloñañe mbe tsy nanoe’ ondaty, tsy ho nanan-tahiñe, fe henaneo songa nahaoniñe mbore nañarinjeñe ahy naho an-dRaeko,
If I had not done among them the works that no other man has done, they would have had no sin; but now they have both seen, and hated both me and my Father.
25 soa te ho heneke i pinatetse amy Hà’ iereoy manao ty hoe: Tsy aman-tali’e ty nihejea’ iareo ahy.
But this is so, that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
26 Ie avy i Mpañolotsey, i hahitriko ama’ areo hirik’ aman-dRaey, i Arofon-kavantañañe miboak’ aman-dRaey; ie ty hitalily ahy.
But when the Paraclete has come, whom I will send to you from my Father, the Spirit of the truth, which proceeds from the Father, he will testify of me;
27 Hitalily ka nahareo amy te nimpiamako boak’ am-pifotora’e añe.
and you also will testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
