yōhanaḥ 15
1 ahaṁ satyadrākṣālatāsvarūpō mama pitā tūdyānaparicārakasvarūpañca|
"I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.
2 mama yāsu śākhāsu phalāni na bhavanti tāḥ sa chinatti tathā phalavatyaḥ śākhā yathādhikaphalāni phalanti tadarthaṁ tāḥ pariṣkarōti|
Every branch in me that does not bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.
3 idānīṁ mayōktōpadēśēna yūyaṁ pariṣkr̥tāḥ|
You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.
4 ataḥ kāraṇāt mayi tiṣṭhata tēnāhamapi yuṣmāsu tiṣṭhāmi, yatō hētō rdrākṣālatāyām asaṁlagnā śākhā yathā phalavatī bhavituṁ na śaknōti tathā yūyamapi mayyatiṣṭhantaḥ phalavantō bhavituṁ na śaknutha|
Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me.
5 ahaṁ drākṣālatāsvarūpō yūyañca śākhāsvarūpōḥ; yō janō mayi tiṣṭhati yatra cāhaṁ tiṣṭhāmi, sa pracūraphalaiḥ phalavān bhavati, kintu māṁ vinā yūyaṁ kimapi karttuṁ na śaknutha|
I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.
6 yaḥ kaścin mayi na tiṣṭhati sa śuṣkaśākhēva bahi rnikṣipyatē lōkāśca tā āhr̥tya vahnau nikṣipya dāhayanti|
If anyone does not remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch, and withers; and they gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned.
7 yadi yūyaṁ mayi tiṣṭhatha mama kathā ca yuṣmāsu tiṣṭhati tarhi yad vāñchitvā yāciṣyadhvē yuṣmākaṁ tadēva saphalaṁ bhaviṣyati|
If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.
8 yadi yūyaṁ pracūraphalavantō bhavatha tarhi tadvārā mama pitu rmahimā prakāśiṣyatē tathā yūyaṁ mama śiṣyā iti parikṣāyiṣyadhvē|
"In this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples.
9 pitā yathā mayi prītavān ahamapi yuṣmāsu tathā prītavān atō hētō ryūyaṁ nirantaraṁ mama prēmapātrāṇi bhūtvā tiṣṭhata|
Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love.
10 ahaṁ yathā piturājñā gr̥hītvā tasya prēmabhājanaṁ tiṣṭhāmi tathaiva yūyamapi yadi mamājñā guhlītha tarhi mama prēmabhājanāni sthāsyatha|
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 yuṣmannimittaṁ mama ya āhlādaḥ sa yathā ciraṁ tiṣṭhati yuṣmākam ānandaśca yathā pūryyatē tadarthaṁ yuṣmabhyam ētāḥ kathā atrakatham|
I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full.
12 ahaṁ yuṣmāsu yathā prīyē yūyamapi parasparaṁ tathā prīyadhvam ēṣā mamājñā|
"This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.
13 mitrāṇāṁ kāraṇāt svaprāṇadānaparyyantaṁ yat prēma tasmān mahāprēma kasyāpi nāsti|
Greater love has no one than this, that someone lays down his life for his friends.
14 ahaṁ yadyad ādiśāmi tattadēva yadi yūyam ācarata tarhi yūyamēva mama mitrāṇi|
You are my friends, if you do whatever I command you.
15 adyārabhya yuṣmān dāsān na vadiṣyāmi yat prabhu ryat karōti dāsastad na jānāti; kintu pituḥ samīpē yadyad aśr̥ṇavaṁ tat sarvvaṁ yūṣmān ajñāpayam tatkāraṇād yuṣmān mitrāṇi prōktavān|
No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, for everything that I heard from my Father I have made known to you.
16 yūyaṁ māṁ rōcitavanta iti na, kintvahamēva yuṣmān rōcitavān yūyaṁ gatvā yathā phalānyutpādayatha tāni phalāni cākṣayāṇi bhavanti, tadarthaṁ yuṣmān nyajunajaṁ tasmān mama nāma prōcya pitaraṁ yat kiñcid yāciṣyadhvē tadēva sa yuṣmabhyaṁ dāsyati|
You did not 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 yūyaṁ parasparaṁ prīyadhvam aham ityājñāpayāmi|
"I command these things to you, that you may love one another.
18 jagatō lōkai ryuṣmāsu r̥tīyitēṣu tē pūrvvaṁ māmēvārttīyanta iti yūyaṁ jānītha|
If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.
19 yadi yūyaṁ jagatō lōkā abhaviṣyata tarhi jagatō lōkā yuṣmān ātmīyān buddhvāprēṣyanta; kintu yūyaṁ jagatō lōkā na bhavatha, ahaṁ yuṣmān asmājjagatō'rōcayam ētasmāt kāraṇājjagatō lōkā yuṣmān r̥tīyantē|
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 dāsaḥ prabhō rmahān na bhavati mamaitat pūrvvīyaṁ vākyaṁ smarata; tē yadi māmēvātāḍayan tarhi yuṣmānapi tāḍayiṣyanti, yadi mama vākyaṁ gr̥hlanti tarhi yuṣmākamapi vākyaṁ grahīṣyanti|
Remember the word that I said to you: 'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will keep yours also.
21 kintu tē mama nāmakāraṇād yuṣmān prati tādr̥śaṁ vyavahariṣyanti yatō yō māṁ prēritavān taṁ tē na jānanti|
But all these things will they do to you because of my name, because they do not know him who sent me.
22 tēṣāṁ sannidhim āgatya yadyahaṁ nākathayiṣyaṁ tarhi tēṣāṁ pāpaṁ nābhaviṣyat kintvadhunā tēṣāṁ pāpamācchādayitum upāyō nāsti|
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 yō janō mām r̥tīyatē sa mama pitaramapi r̥tīyatē|
He who hates me hates my Father also.
24 yādr̥śāni karmmāṇi kēnāpi kadāpi nākriyanta tādr̥śāni karmmāṇi yadi tēṣāṁ sākṣād ahaṁ nākariṣyaṁ tarhi tēṣāṁ pāpaṁ nābhaviṣyat kintvadhunā tē dr̥ṣṭvāpi māṁ mama pitarañcārttīyanta|
If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would not have had sin. But now have they seen and also hated both me and my Father.
25 tasmāt tē'kāraṇaṁ mām r̥tīyantē yadētad vacanaṁ tēṣāṁ śāstrē likhitamāstē tat saphalam abhavat|
But this happened so that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law, 'They hated me without a cause.'
26 kintu pitu rnirgataṁ yaṁ sahāyamarthāt satyamayam ātmānaṁ pituḥ samīpād yuṣmākaṁ samīpē prēṣayiṣyāmi sa āgatya mayi pramāṇaṁ dāsyati|
"When the Helper 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 yūyaṁ prathamamārabhya mayā sārddhaṁ tiṣṭhatha tasmāddhētō ryūyamapi pramāṇaṁ dāsyatha|
And you will also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
