Yohane 15
1 “Mene nokorɛ bobe no, na mʼAgya ne okuafoɔ no.
I Am that true vine, and my Father is that husband man.
2 Dua aban biara a ɛnso aba no, ɔtwa twene, na dua aban biara a ɛso no, ɔyiyi ho na aso aba bebree.
Euery branch that beareth not fruite in me, he taketh away: and euery one that beareth fruite, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruite.
3 Me nsɛm a maka akyerɛ mo no ama mo ho ate dada.
Nowe are ye cleane through the worde, which I haue spoken vnto you.
4 Montena me mu na me nso mentena mo mu. Dua aban biara ankasa rentumi nso aba gye sɛ ɛfam ne dutan ho. Saa ara nso na morentumi nso aba gye sɛ mote me mu.
Abide in me, and I in you: as the branche cannot beare fruite of it selfe, except it abide in the vine, no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
5 “Mene bobe no; na mone dua aban no. Obiara a ɔte me mu na mete ne mu no bɛso aba bebree; sɛ mokwati me a, morentumi nyɛ hwee.
I am that vine: ye are the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruite: for without me can ye doe nothing.
6 Obiara a ɔntena me mu no te sɛ dua aban a wɔatwa ato atwene a ɛho nni mfasoɔ; ɛwo a, wɔboaboa ano de gu ogya mu hye.
If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branche, and withereth: and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they burne.
7 Sɛ mote me mu na me nsɛm nso tena mo mu a, ɛnneɛ biribiara a mopɛ a mobɛbisa no, wɔde bɛma mo.
If ye abide in me, and my wordes abide in you, aske what ye wil, and it shalbe done to you.
8 Wɔn a wɔyɛ mʼasuafoɔ nokorɛ mu no so aba bebree de hyɛ mʼAgya animuonyam.
Herein is my Father glorified, that ye beare much fruite, and be made my disciples.
9 “Sɛdeɛ Agya no dɔ me no, saa ara nso na me nso medɔ mo, Montena me dɔ mu.
As the father hath loued me, so haue I loued you: continue in that my loue.
10 Sɛ modi mʼahyɛdeɛ so a, mobɛtena me dɔ mu sɛdeɛ madi mʼAgya ahyɛdeɛ so na ɛno enti ɔda so dɔ me no.
If ye shall keepe my commandements, ye shall abide in my loue, as I haue kept my Fathers commandements, and abide in his loue.
11 Maka yeinom nyinaa akyerɛ mo sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a mobɛnya mʼanigyeɛ no bi na ama mo anigyeɛ awie pɛyɛ.
These things haue I spoken vnto you, that my ioy might remaine in you, and that your ioy might be full.
12 Mʼahyɛdeɛ ne sɛ, monnodɔ mo ho mo ho sɛdeɛ medɔ mo no.
This is my commandement, that ye loue one another, as I haue loued you.
13 Ɔdɔ biara nsene sɛ obi bɛwu ama ne nnamfonom.
Greater loue then this hath no man, when any man bestoweth his life for his friendes.
14 Sɛ modi deɛ mehyɛ mo sɛ monyɛ no so a, na moyɛ me nnamfonom.
Ye are my friendes, if ye doe whatsoeuer I commaund you.
15 Memfrɛ mo nkoa bio, ɛfiri sɛ, akoa nnim deɛ ne wura reyɛ. Mmom, mefrɛ mo nnamfo, ɛfiri sɛ, maka biribiara a mete firii mʼAgya no nkyɛn akyerɛ mo.
Henceforth call I you not seruants: for the seruant knoweth not what his master doeth: but I haue called you friends: for all things that I haue heard of my Father, haue I made knowen to you.
16 Ɛnyɛ mo na moyii me; me na meyii mo na memaa mo adwuma sɛ monkɔyɛ na monso aba pa bebree. Na biribiara a mode me din bɛbisa Agya no no, ɔde bɛma mo.
Ye haue not chosen me, but I haue chosen you, and ordeined you, that ye goe and bring foorth fruite, and that your fruite remaine, that whatsoeuer ye shall aske of the Father in my Name, he may giue it you.
17 Yei na mehyɛ mo; monnodɔ mo ho.
These things commaund I you, that ye loue one another.
18 “Sɛ ewiase tane mo a, monkae sɛ me na ɛtanee me kane ansa na ɛretane mo.
If the worlde hate you, ye knowe that it hated me before you.
19 Sɛ mote ase ma ewiase a, ɛnneɛ ewiase bɛdɔ mo sɛ wɔn a wɔyɛ ne dea. Nanso, meyii mo firii ewiasefoɔ mu, ɛno enti, monyɛ ewiasefoɔ bio; yei enti na ewiasefoɔ tan mo no.
If ye were of the worlde, the world woulde loue his owne: but because ye are not of ye world, but I haue chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
20 Monkae asɛm a meka kyerɛɛ mo no: ‘Akoa nsene ne wura.’ Sɛ wɔtan me a, mo nso, wɔbɛtan mo; sɛ wɔtie mʼasɛm a meka no a, mo nso, wɔbɛtie mo.
Remember the word that I said vnto you, The seruant is not greater then his master. If they haue persecuted me, they will persecute you also: if they haue kept my worde, they will also keepe yours.
21 Esiane sɛ moyɛ me dea enti na wɔbɛtaa mo, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔnnim Onyankopɔn a ɔsomaa me no.
But all these things will they doe vnto you for my Names sake, because they haue not knowen him that sent me.
22 Sɛ memmɛkaa asɛm biara nkyerɛɛ wɔn a, anka wɔrenni bɔne ho fɔ. Afei deɛ wɔnni wɔn bɔne ho anoyie biara.
If I had not come and spoken vnto them, they shoulde not haue had sinne: but nowe haue they no cloke for their sinne.
23 Obiara a ɔtan me no tan mʼAgya nso.
He that hateth me, hateth my Father also.
24 Sɛ manyɛ nnwuma a obiara nyɛɛ bi da no wɔ wɔn mu a, anka wɔrenni bɔne ho fɔ; nanso wɔahunu deɛ meyɛeɛ, nso wɔtan me ne mʼAgya.
If I had not done workes among them which none other man did, they had not had sinne: but nowe haue they both seene, and haue hated both me, and my Father.
25 Ɛsɛ sɛ yei ba mu sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a deɛ wɔatwerɛ wɔ wɔn Mmara no mu a ɛka sɛ, ‘Wɔtan me kwa’ no bɛba mu.
But it is that the worde might be fulfilled, that is written in their Lawe, They hated me without a cause.
26 “Mɛsoma ɔboafoɔ a ɔyɛ nokorɛ Honhom a ɔfiri Agya no nkyɛn no aba mo nkyɛn na wabɛdi me ho adanseɛ akyerɛ mo.
But when that Comforter shall come, whom I will send vnto you from the Father, euen the Spirit of trueth, which proceedeth of the Father, he shall testifie of me.
27 Na mo nso mobɛdi me ho adanseɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, me ne mo na ɛwɔ hɔ firi ahyɛaseɛ pɛɛ.”
And ye shall witnesse also, because ye haue bene with me from the beginning.
