< Joan 15 >

1 Ni naiz aihen eguiazcoa, eta ene Aita da mahastiçaina
I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
2 Nitan fructu ekarten eztuen chirmendu gucia, kencen du: eta fructu ekarten duen gucia, chahutzen du, fructu guehiago ekar deçançát.
Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, he taketh it away: and every [branch] that beareth fruit, he cleanseth it, that it may bear more fruit.
3 Ia çuec chahu çarete nic erran drauçuedan hitzagatic.
Already ye are clean because of the word which I have spoken unto you.
4 Çaudete nitan eta ni çuetan: chirmenduac berac fructuric bereganic ecin ekar deçaqueen beçala, baldin aihenean ezpadago: ezeta çuec-ere baldin nitan ezpaçaudete.
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; so neither can ye, except ye abide in 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, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for apart from me ye can do nothing.
6 Baldin norbeit nitan ezpadago, egotzia da campora chirmendua beçala, eta eihartzen da: guero biltzen, eta sura egoizten, eta erratzen.
If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
7 Baldin baçaudete nitan, eta ene hitzac çuetan badaude, cer-ere nahi baituçue esca çaitezte, eta eguinen çaiçue.
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatsoever ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
8 Hunetan da glorificatu ene Aita, fructu anhitz daccarraçuen: eta içanen çarete ene discipulu.
Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; and [so] shall ye be my disciples.
9 Ni Aitac maite vkan nauen beçala, nic-ere maite vkan çaituztet çuec: çaudete ene charitatean.
Even as the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you: abide ye 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 ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.
11 Gauça hauc erran drauzquiçuet çuey, ene alegrançá çuetan dagoençat, eta çuen alegrançá bethé dadinçát.
These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy may be in you, and [that] your joy may be fulfilled.
12 Haur da ene manamendua, batac bercea maite duçuen, nic maite vkan çaituztedan beçala
This is my commandment, that ye love one another, even as I have loved you.
13 Haur baino amorio handiagoric nehorc eztu, norbeitec bere arimá bere adisquideacgatic eman deçan.
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
14 Çuec ene adisquide içanen çarete, baldin eguin badeçaçue cer-ere nic manatzen baitrauçuet
Ye are my friends, if ye do the things which 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.
No longer do I call you servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I heard from my Father I have made known unto you.
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.
Ye did not choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that ye should go and bear fruit, and [that] your fruit should abide: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
17 Gauça hauc manatzen drauzquiçuet, elkar maite duçuençát.
These things I command you, that ye may love one another.
18 Baldin munduac gaitzesten baçaituzté, badaquiçue ecen ni çuec baino lehen gaitzetsi vkan nauela.
If the world hateth you, ye know that it hath hated me before [it hated] you.
If ye were of the world, the world would love its own: but because ye are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hateth 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 the word that I said unto 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 keep yours also.
21 Baina gauça hauc guciac eguinen drauzquiçue ene icenagatic, ceren ezpaituté ni igorri nauena eçagutzen.
But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that 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 unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no excuse for their sin.
23 Niri gaitz dariztanac, ene Aitari-ere gaitz daritza.
He that hateth me hateth 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 the works which none other did, they had not had sin: but now have they 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.
But [this cometh to pass], that the word may be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a 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 Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall bear witness of me:
27 Baina çuec-ere testificaturen duçue, ecen hatseandanic enequin çarete.
and ye also bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
