Yohannis 15
1 “Ani muka wayinii dhugaa ti; kan dhaabes Abbaa koo ti.
“I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer.
2 Inni damee koo kan ija hin naqanne hunda muree gata; damee ija naqatu immoo akka inni caalaatti naqatuuf irraa qora.
Every branch in me that doesn’t bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.
3 Isin dubbii ani isinitti dubbadheen amma qulqulluu dha.
You are already pruned clean because of the word 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.
Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch can’t bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain 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. You are the branches. He who remains in me and I in him 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.
If a man doesn’t remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned.
7 Isin yoo na keessa jiraattan, dubbiin koos yoo isin keessa jiraate, waanuma feetan kadhadhaa; innis isiniif ni kennama.
If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.
8 Isin yoo ija baayʼee naqattanii fi yoo barattoota koo taatan, kanaan Abbaan koo ulfina argata.
“In this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; and so you will be my disciples.
9 “Akkuma Abbaan na jaallatetti anis akkasuma isin jaalladheera. Egaa jaalala koo keessa jiraadhaa.
Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my 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 remain in my love, even as I have kept my Father’s commandments and remain in his love.
11 Akka gammachuun koo isin keessa jiraatuu fi akka gammachuun keessanis guutuu taʼuuf ani waan kana isinitti himeera.
I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may remain 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 love one another, even as I have loved you.
13 Eenyu iyyuu jaalala guddaa kan namni lubbuu isaa dabarsee michoota isaatiif kennu sana irra caalu hin qabu.
Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his 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.
No longer do I call you servants, for the servant doesn’t know what his lord does. But I have called you friends, for everything that I heard from my Father, I have made known to you.
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, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatever you will ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you.
17 Ajajni koo isa kana: Wal jaalladhaa.
“I command these things to you, that you may love one another.
18 “Yoo addunyaan isin jibbe, akka inni isin dura na jibbe beekaa.
If the world hates you, you know that it has 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 were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, since 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 the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his lord.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.
21 Isaan waan Isa na erge sana hin beekneef, sababii maqaa kootiitiif waan kana hunda isin irratti raawwatu.
But they will do all these things to you 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 had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.
23 Namni na jibbu Abbaa koos ni jibba.
He who hates me, hates my Father also.
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 among them the works which no one else did, they wouldn’t have had 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.
But this happened so that the word may be fulfilled which was 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 has come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will testify about me.
27 Isinis jalqabaa kaaftanii waan na wajjin turtaniif dhugaa baatu.
You will also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
