Yohannis 15
1 “Ani muka wayinii dhugaa ti; kan dhaabes Abbaa koo ti.
“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.
2 Inni damee koo kan ija hin naqanne hunda muree gata; damee ija naqatu immoo akka inni caalaatti naqatuuf irraa qora.
He takes away every branch in me that doesn’t bear fruit, and He prunes every branch that bears fruit, so that it may bear more fruit.
3 Isin dubbii ani isinitti dubbadheen amma qulqulluu dha.
You are already pruned clean because of the words which I have spoken to you.
4 Na keessa jiraadhaa; anis isin keessa nan jiraadhaa. Akkuma dameen yoo muka wayiniitti jiraate malee ofuma isaatiin ija naqachuu hin dandeenye, isinis yoo na keessa jiraattan malee ija naqachuu hin dandeessan.
Live in me, as I live in you. As the branch can’t bear fruit of itself, unless it lives in the vine, so neither can you, unless you live in me.
5 “Ani muka wayinii ti; isini immoo dameewwan. Namni yoo na keessa jiraate, anis yoon isa keessa jiraadhe inni ija baayʼee naqata; isin narraa gargar baatanii homaa gochuu hin dandeessaniitii.
I am the vine, and you are the branches. Whoever lives in me, and I in them, bears much fruit; for apart from me you can do nothing.
6 Namni na keessa hin jiraanne akka damee gad gatamee goguu ti. Dameewwan akkanaa walitti qabamanii ibiddatti naqamu; ni gubamus.
Anyone who doesn’t live in me is thrown away as a branch, and dries up. The dried up branches are gathered up, thrown into the fire, and burned.
7 Isin yoo na keessa jiraattan, dubbiin koos yoo isin keessa jiraate, waanuma feetan kadhadhaa; innis isiniif ni kennama.
If you live in me, and my words live in you, ask whatever you want, and it will be done for you.
8 Isin yoo ija baayʼee naqattanii fi yoo barattoota koo taatan, kanaan Abbaan koo ulfina argata.
My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, so you will prove to be my disciples.
9 “Akkuma Abbaan na jaallatetti anis akkasuma isin jaalladheera. Egaa jaalala koo keessa jiraadhaa.
“Just as the Father has sincerely loved me, I have also sincerely loved you. Continue to live in my sincere love.
10 Akkuma ani ajajawwan Abbaa kootii eegee jaalala isaa keessa jiraadhu, isinis yoo ajajawwan koo eegdan jaalala koo keessa ni jiraattu.
If you keep my commandments, you will continue to live in my sincere love; just as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and continue to live in His sincere love.
11 Akka gammachuun koo isin keessa jiraatuu fi akka gammachuun keessanis guutuu taʼuuf ani waan kana isinitti himeera.
I have told you these things, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full.
12 Ajajni koo isa kana: Akkuma ani isin jaalladhetti isinis wal jaalladhaa.
This is my commandment, that you sincerely love one another, just as I have sincerely loved you.
13 Eenyu iyyuu jaalala guddaa kan namni lubbuu isaa dabarsee michoota isaatiif kennu sana irra caalu hin qabu.
No one has greater sincere love than this, than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
14 Waan ani isin ajaje yoo raawwattan isin michoota koo ti.
You are my friends if you do whatever I command you.
15 Garbichi waan gooftaan isaa hojjetu waan hin beekneef, ani siʼachi garboota isiniin hin jedhu. Qooda kanaa ani michoota isiniin jedheera; ani waanan Abbaa koo irraa dhagaʼe hundumaa isin beeksiseeraatii.
I don’t call you servants any longer, because a servant doesn’t know what the master is doing; but I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything that I have heard from my Father.
16 Isinis akka dhaqxanii ija naqattaniif, iji keessanis akka jiraatuuf anatu isin filatee isin muude malee isin na hin filanne. Kunis akka Abbaan waan isin maqaa kootiin kadhattan kam iyyuu isinii kennuuf.
You didn’t choose me, but I chose you and appointed you, so that you should go and bear fruit, and so that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in my name He may give you.
17 Ajajni koo isa kana: Wal jaalladhaa.
I command you this, that you sincerely love one another.
18 “Yoo addunyaan isin jibbe, akka inni isin dura na jibbe beekaa.
“If the world hates you, know that it hated me before it hated you.
19 Utuu isin kan addunyaa taatanii silaa addunyaan kan ofii isaa ni jaallata ture. Amma garuu waan ani addunyaa keessaa isin filadheef isin kan addunyaa miti. Kanaafuu addunyaan isin jibba.
If you belonged to the world, the world would love its own. Because you aren’t the world’s, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
20 Dubbii ani, ‘Garbichi gooftaa isaa hin caalu’jedhee isinitti hime sana yaadadhaa. Isaan erga na ariʼatanii, isinis ni ariʼatu. Yoo dubbii kootiif ajajaman, dubbii keessaniifis ni ajajamu.
Remember that I told you, ‘A servant isn’t greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they obeyed my teaching, they will also obey yours.
21 Isaan waan Isa na erge sana hin beekneef, sababii maqaa kootiitiif waan kana hunda isin irratti raawwatu.
The world will do all these things to you, however, for My name’s sake, because they don’t know Him who sent me.
22 Utuu ani dhufee isaanitti himuu baadhee silaa cubbuu isaanitti hin taʼu ture. Amma garuu cubbuu isaaniitiif sababii dhiʼeeffatan hin qaban.
If I hadn’t come and spoken to them, they would have no sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin.
23 Namni na jibbu Abbaa koos ni jibba.
Whoever hates me also hates my Father.
24 Utuu ani hojii namni biraa tokko iyyuu hin hojjetin gidduu isaaniitti hojjechuu baadhee silaa cubbuu isaanitti hin taʼu ture. Amma garuu utuma waan ani hojjedhe arganuu anas Abbaa koos jibbaniiru.
If I hadn’t done the works which no one else did among them, they would have no sin; but now they have seen and also hated both me and my Father.
25 Kunis akka dubbiin Seera isaanii keessatti, ‘Isaan akkasumaan na jibban’jedhamee barreeffame sun raawwatamuuf taʼe.
This was to fulfill the word that is written in their Law, ‘They hated me without a cause.’
26 “Jajjabeessaan ani Abbaa biraa isinii ergu, jechuunis Hafuurri Dhugaa inni Abbaa keessaa baʼu sun yommuu dhufutti waaʼee koo dhugaa baʼa.
When the Counselor comes, who I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of Truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of me.
27 Isinis jalqabaa kaaftanii waan na wajjin turtaniif dhugaa baatu.
You will also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
