Joan 15
1 Ni naiz aihen eguiazcoa, eta ene Aita da mahastiçaina
‘I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine-grower.
2 Nitan fructu ekarten eztuen chirmendu gucia, kencen du: eta fructu ekarten duen gucia, chahutzen du, fructu guehiago ekar deçançát.
Any unfruitful branch in me he takes away, and he cleanses every fruitful branch, so that it may bear more fruit.
3 Ia çuec chahu çarete nic erran drauçuedan hitzagatic.
You are already clean because of the message that I have given you.
4 Çaudete nitan eta ni çuetan: chirmenduac berac fructuric bereganic ecin ekar deçaqueen beçala, baldin aihenean ezpadago: ezeta çuec-ere baldin nitan ezpaçaudete.
Remain united to me, and I will remain united to you. As a branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it remains united to the vine; no more can you, unless you remain united to me.
5 Ni naiz aihena, çuec chirmenduac: nor baitago nitan, eta ni hartan, harc ekarten du fructu anhitz: ecen ni gabe deus ecin daidiçue.
I am the vine, you are the branches. If you remains united to me, while I remain united to you – you bear fruit plentifully; for you can do nothing apart from me.
6 Baldin norbeit nitan ezpadago, egotzia da campora chirmendua beçala, eta eihartzen da: guero biltzen, eta sura egoizten, eta erratzen.
If anyone does not remain united to me, they are thrown away, as a branch would be, and withers up. Such branches are collected and thrown into the fire, and are burnt.
7 Baldin baçaudete nitan, eta ene hitzac çuetan badaude, cer-ere nahi baituçue esca çaitezte, eta eguinen çaiçue.
If you remain united to me, and my teaching remains in your hearts, ask whatever you wish, and it will be yours.
8 Hunetan da glorificatu ene Aita, fructu anhitz daccarraçuen: eta içanen çarete ene discipulu.
It is by your bearing fruit plentifully, and so showing yourselves my disciples, that my Father is honoured.
9 Ni Aitac maite vkan nauen beçala, nic-ere maite vkan çaituztet çuec: çaudete ene charitatean.
As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you; remain in my love.
10 Baldin ene manamenduac beguira baditzaçue, egonen çarete ene charitatean: nic-ere neure Aitaren manamenduac beguiratu ditudan beçala, eta egoiten bainaiz haren amorioan.
If you lay my commands to heart, you will remain in my love; just as I have laid the Father’s commands to heart and remain in his love.
11 Gauça hauc erran drauzquiçuet çuey, ene alegrançá çuetan dagoençat, eta çuen alegrançá bethé dadinçát.
I have told you all this so that my own joy may be yours, and that your joy may be complete.
12 Haur da ene manamendua, batac bercea maite duçuen, nic maite vkan çaituztedan beçala
This is my command – love one another, as I have loved you.
13 Haur baino amorio handiagoric nehorc eztu, norbeitec bere arimá bere adisquideacgatic eman deçan.
No one can give greater proof of love than by laying down their life for their friends.
14 Çuec ene adisquide içanen çarete, baldin eguin badeçaçue cer-ere nic manatzen baitrauçuet
And you are my friends, if you do what I command you.
15 Guehiagoric etzaituztet cerbitzari deithuren, ecen cerbitzariac eztaqui haren nabussiac cer eguiten duen: baina çuec deithu çaituztet adisquide, ceren neure Aitaganic ençun dudan gucia, eçagut eraci baitrauçuet.
I no longer call you “servants,” because a servant does not know what their master is doing; but I have given you the name of “friends,” because I made known to you everything that I learned from my Father.
16 Eznauçue çuec ni elegitu, baina nic elegitu çaituztet çuec, eta ordenatu çaituztét, ioan çaiteztençat eta fructu ekar deçaçuen, eta çuen fructua dagoen: cer-ere esca baitzaquizquiote ene Aitari ene icenean, eman dieçaçuençat.
It wasn’t you who chose me, but I who chose you, and I appointed you to go and bear fruit – fruit that should remain, so that the Father might grant you whatever you ask in my name.
17 Gauça hauc manatzen drauzquiçuet, elkar maite duçuençát.
I am giving you these commands that you may love one another.
18 Baldin munduac gaitzesten baçaituzté, badaquiçue ecen ni çuec baino lehen gaitzetsi vkan nauela.
If the world hates you, you know that it has first hated me.
If you belonged to the world, the world would love its own. Because you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world – that is why the world hates you.
20 Orhoit çaitezte nic erran drauçuedan hitzaz Ezta cerbitzaria bere nabussia baino handiago: baldin ni persecutatu banauté, çuec-ere persecutaturen çaituzte: baldin ene hitza beguiratu baduté, çuena-ere beguiraturen duté.
Remember what I said to you – “A servant is not greater than their master.” If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have laid my message to heart, they will lay yours to heart also.
21 Baina gauça hauc guciac eguinen drauzquiçue ene icenagatic, ceren ezpaituté ni igorri nauena eçagutzen.
But they will do all this to you, because you believe in my name, for they do not know him who sent me.
22 Baldin ethorri ezpaninz, eta berey minçatu ezpaninçaye, bekaturic ezluquete: baina orain excusaric eztuté bere bekatuaz.
If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have had no sin to answer for; but as it is, they have no excuse for their sin.
23 Niri gaitz dariztanac, ene Aitari-ere gaitz daritza.
The person who hates me hates my Father also.
24 Baldin hayén artean nehorc bercec eguin eztituen obrác eguin ezpanitu, bekaturic ezluquete: baina orain ikussi dituzté, eta gaitz eritzi draucute niri eta ene Aitari.
If I had not done among them such work as no one else ever did, they would have had no sin to answer for; but, as it is, they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.
25 Baina haur da hayén Leguean scribatua dagoen hitza compli dadinçát, dioela, Hoguen gabe gaitz eritzi draudate.
And so is fulfilled what is said in their Law – “They hated me without cause.”
26 Baina nic neure Aitaganic igorriren drauçuedan Consolaçalea dathorrenean, Spiritu eguiazcoa diot cein ene Aitaganic proceditzen baita, harc testificaturen du niçaz.
But, when the helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father – the Spirit of truth, who comes from the Father – will bear testimony to me;
27 Baina çuec-ere testificaturen duçue, ecen hatseandanic enequin çarete.
yes, and you also are to bear testimony, because you have been with me from the first.
