1 ahaM satyadrAkSAlatAsvarUpO mama pitA tUdyAnaparicArakasvarUpanjca|
I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
2 mama yAsu zAkhAsu phalAni na bhavanti tAH sa chinatti tathA phalavatyaH zAkhA yathAdhikaphalAni phalanti tadarthaM tAH pariSkarOti|
[As to] every branch in me not bearing fruit, he takes it away; and [as to] every one bearing fruit, he purges it that it may bring forth more fruit.
3 idAnIM mayOktOpadEzEna yUyaM pariSkRtAH|
Ye are already clean by reason of the word which I have spoken to you.
4 ataH kAraNAt mayi tiSThata tEnAhamapi yuSmAsu tiSThAmi, yatO hEtO rdrAkSAlatAyAm asaMlagnA zAkhA yathA phalavatI bhavituM na zaknOti tathA yUyamapi mayyatiSThantaH phalavantO bhavituM na zaknutha|
Abide in me and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abide in the vine, thus neither [can] ye unless ye abide in me.
5 ahaM drAkSAlatAsvarUpO yUyanjca zAkhAsvarUpOH; yO janO mayi tiSThati yatra cAhaM tiSThAmi, sa pracUraphalaiH phalavAn bhavati, kintu mAM vinA yUyaM kimapi karttuM na zaknutha|
I am the vine, ye [are] the branches. He that abides in me and I in him, he bears much fruit; for without me ye can do nothing.
6 yaH kazcin mayi na tiSThati sa zuSkazAkhEva bahi rnikSipyatE lOkAzca tA AhRtya vahnau nikSipya dAhayanti|
Unless any one abide in me he is cast out as the branch, and is dried up; and they gather them and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
7 yadi yUyaM mayi tiSThatha mama kathA ca yuSmAsu tiSThati tarhi yad vAnjchitvA yAciSyadhvE yuSmAkaM tadEva saphalaM bhaviSyati|
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will and it shall come to pass to you.
8 yadi yUyaM pracUraphalavantO bhavatha tarhi tadvArA mama pitu rmahimA prakAziSyatE tathA yUyaM mama ziSyA iti parikSAyiSyadhvE|
In this is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit, and ye shall become disciples of mine.
9 pitA yathA mayi prItavAn ahamapi yuSmAsu tathA prItavAn atO hEtO ryUyaM nirantaraM mama prEmapAtrANi bhUtvA tiSThata|
As the Father has loved me, I also have loved you: abide in my love.
10 ahaM yathA piturAjnjA gRhItvA tasya prEmabhAjanaM tiSThAmi tathaiva yUyamapi yadi mamAjnjA guhlItha tarhi mama prEmabhAjanAni sthAsyatha|
If ye shall keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love, as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.
11 yuSmannimittaM mama ya AhlAdaH sa yathA ciraM tiSThati yuSmAkam Anandazca yathA pUryyatE tadarthaM yuSmabhyam EtAH kathA atrakatham|
I have spoken these things to you that my joy may be in you, and your joy be full.
12 ahaM yuSmAsu yathA prIyE yUyamapi parasparaM tathA prIyadhvam ESA mamAjnjA|
This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you.
13 mitrANAM kAraNAt svaprANadAnaparyyantaM yat prEma tasmAn mahAprEma kasyApi nAsti|
No one has greater love than this, that one should lay down his life for his friends.
14 ahaM yadyad AdizAmi tattadEva yadi yUyam Acarata tarhi yUyamEva mama mitrANi|
Ye are my friends if ye practise whatever I command you.
15 adyArabhya yuSmAn dAsAn na vadiSyAmi yat prabhu ryat karOti dAsastad na jAnAti; kintu pituH samIpE yadyad azRNavaM tat sarvvaM yUSmAn ajnjApayam tatkAraNAd yuSmAn mitrANi prOktavAn|
I call you no longer bondmen, for the bondman does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things which I have heard of my Father I have made known to you.
16 yUyaM mAM rOcitavanta iti na, kintvahamEva yuSmAn rOcitavAn yUyaM gatvA yathA phalAnyutpAdayatha tAni phalAni cAkSayANi bhavanti, tadarthaM yuSmAn nyajunajaM tasmAn mama nAma prOcya pitaraM yat kinjcid yAciSyadhvE tadEva sa yuSmabhyaM dAsyati|
Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and have set you that ye should go and [that] ye should bear fruit, and [that] your fruit should abide, that whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name he may give you.
17 yUyaM parasparaM prIyadhvam aham ityAjnjApayAmi|
These things I command you, that ye love one another.
18 jagatO lOkai ryuSmAsu RtIyitESu tE pUrvvaM mAmEvArttIyanta iti yUyaM jAnItha|
If the world hate you, know that it has hated me before you.
19 yadi yUyaM jagatO lOkA abhaviSyata tarhi jagatO lOkA yuSmAn AtmIyAn buddhvAprESyanta; kintu yUyaM jagatO lOkA na bhavatha, ahaM yuSmAn asmAjjagatO'rOcayam EtasmAt kAraNAjjagatO lOkA yuSmAn RtIyantE|
If ye were of the world, the world would love its own; but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, on account of this the world hates you.
20 dAsaH prabhO rmahAn na bhavati mamaitat pUrvvIyaM vAkyaM smarata; tE yadi mAmEvAtAPayan tarhi yuSmAnapi tAPayiSyanti, yadi mama vAkyaM gRhlanti tarhi yuSmAkamapi vAkyaM grahISyanti|
Remember the word which I said unto you, The bondman 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 also yours.
21 kintu tE mama nAmakAraNAd yuSmAn prati tAdRzaM vyavahariSyanti yatO yO mAM prEritavAn taM tE na jAnanti|
But they will do all these things to you on account of my name, because they have not known him that sent me.
22 tESAM sannidhim Agatya yadyahaM nAkathayiSyaM tarhi tESAM pApaM nAbhaviSyat kintvadhunA tESAM pApamAcchAdayitum upAyO nAsti|
If I had not come and spoken to them, they had not had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.
23 yO janO mAm RtIyatE sa mama pitaramapi RtIyatE|
He that hates me hates also my Father.
24 yAdRzAni karmmANi kEnApi kadApi nAkriyanta tAdRzAni karmmANi yadi tESAM sAkSAd ahaM nAkariSyaM tarhi tESAM pApaM nAbhaviSyat kintvadhunA tE dRSTvApi mAM mama pitaranjcArttIyanta|
If I had not done among them the works which no other one has done, they had not had sin; but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.
25 tasmAt tE'kAraNaM mAm RtIyantE yadEtad vacanaM tESAM zAstrE likhitamAstE tat saphalam abhavat|
But that the word written in their law might be fulfilled, They hated me without a cause.
26 kintu pitu rnirgataM yaM sahAyamarthAt satyamayam AtmAnaM pituH samIpAd yuSmAkaM samIpE prESayiSyAmi sa Agatya mayi pramANaM dAsyati|
But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes forth from with the Father, he shall bear witness concerning me;
27 yUyaM prathamamArabhya mayA sArddhaM tiSThatha tasmAddhEtO ryUyamapi pramANaM dAsyatha|
and ye too bear witness, because ye are with me from [the] beginning.
