John 15

1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer.

ᏖᎸᎳᏗᏯ ᎠᏴ, ᎡᏙᏓᏃ ᏗᎦᎶᎩᏍᎩ.

2 Every branch in me that doesn’t bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.

ᏂᎦᎥ ᏓᏋᏂᎦᎸᎢ ᎾᎾᏓᏛᎥᏍᎬᎾ ᏥᎨᏐ ᏕᎬᏂᎦᎵᏍᎪᎢ; ᏂᎦᏛᏃ ᎠᎾᏓᏛᎥᏍᎩ ᏕᎬᏂᎦᎷᏬᏍᎪᎢ ᎤᏟ ᎢᎦᎢ ᎤᎾᏓᏛᏗᏱ ᎤᏰᎸᏐᎢ.

3 You are already pruned clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.

ᎿᎭᏉ ᏂᎯ ᎢᏣᏓᏅᎦᎸᏔᏅ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏨᏁᏤᎸᎯ ᏥᎩ.

4 Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch can’t bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me.

ᏍᎩᏯᎡᏍᏗ, ᎠᏎᏃ ᎢᏨᏯᎡᏍᏗ. ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎤᏩᏂᎦᎸᎢ ᎤᏩᏒ ᏰᎵ ᎬᏩᏓᏛᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᏥᎨᏐ ᎬᏂ ᎤᏖᎸᎳᏛ ᏧᏩᏂᎦᎶᎢ, ᎾᏍᏉᏍᎩᏂ ᏂᎯ ᎥᏝ ᏰᎵᎦ ᎬᏂ ᎠᏴ ᏱᏍᎩᏯᎠ.

5 I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me and I in him bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

ᎤᏖᎸᎳᏛᎢ ᎠᏴ, ᏚᏩᏂᎦᎸᎢ ᏂᎯ. ᎠᏴ ᎠᎩᏯᎢ, ᎠᏴᏃ ᏥᏯᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏣᏙ ᎠᎾᏓᏛᎥᏍᎪᎢ. ᎥᏝᏰᏃ ᎠᏴ ᎥᏝ ᏰᎵ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᏴᎨᏣᏛᎦ.

6 If a man doesn’t remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned.

ᎢᏳᏃ ᎩᎶ ᎾᎩᏯᎥᎾ ᏥᎨᏐᎢ, ᎠᎦᏓᎡᎪᎢ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎤᏩᏂᎦᎳᏅᎯ ᏧᎾᏓᎡᎪᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎬᏴᏍᎪᎢ; ᏴᏫᏃ ᏓᏂᏟᏏᏍᎪᎢ, ᎠᏥᎸᏱᏃ ᏫᏚᎾᏕᎪᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᏓᎪᎲᏍᎪᎢ.

7 If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.

ᎢᏳᏃ ᏂᎯ ᏍᎩᏯᎡᏍᏗ, ᎠᎴ ᎠᎩᏁᏨ ᎢᏥᏯᎡᏍᏗ, ᏂᎦᎥ ᎢᏣᏚᎵᏍᎬ ᎢᏥᏔᏲᎯᎮᏍᏗ, ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏎ ᎢᏰᏣᏛᏁᏗ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ.

8 “In this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; and so you will be my disciples.

ᎤᏣᏛ ᎢᏣᏓᏛᎥᏍᎬ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏅᏓᎦᎵᏍᏙᏔᏂ ᎡᏙᏓ ᏓᏰᏥᎸᏉᏔᏂ; ᎰᏩᏃ ᏍᎩᏍᏓᏩᏗᏙᎯ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ.

9 Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love.

ᎡᏙᏓ ᎠᎩᎨᏳᎯᏳ ᏥᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎢᏨᎨᏳᎢᏳ ᏂᎯ. ᏅᏩᏍᏗᏗᏎᏍᏗᏉ ᎢᏨᎨᏳᎢᏳ ᎨᏒᎢ.

10 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 I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be made full.

12 “This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.

ᏗᎧᎿᎭᏩᏛᏍᏗ ᎠᏆᏤᎵᎦ ᎯᎠ ᏄᏍᏗ, ᏗᏣᏓᎨᏳᎯᏳ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ, ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎢᏨᎨᏳᎢᏳ ᏄᎵᏍᏔᏅᎢ.

13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

ᎥᏝ ᎩᎶ ᎤᏓᎨᏳᎯᏳ ᎨᏒ ᏴᎬᎪᎾᏛᏓ ᎤᎵᎢ ᏗᏲᎱᎯᏎᎯ.

14 You are my friends if you do whatever I command you.

ᏂᎯ ᎠᏴ ᎢᎦᎵᎢ, ᎢᏳᏃ ᏂᎦᎥ ᎢᏨᏁᏤᎲ ᏱᏂᏣᏛᏁᎭ.

15 No longer do I call you servants, for the servant doesn’t know what his lord does. But I have called you friends, for everything that I heard from my Father, I have made known to you.

ᎪᎯ ᎢᏳᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᎥᏝ ᎢᏨᏅᏏᏓᏍᏗ ᏱᏨᏲᏎᎭ; ᎠᏥᏅᏏᏓᏍᏗᏰᏃ ᎥᏝ ᏯᎦᏔᎰ ᎤᎾᏞᎢ ᎾᏛᏁᎲᎢ. ᏂᎯᏍᎩᏂ ᎢᎦᎵᎢ ᎢᏨᏲᏎᎭ; ᏂᎦᎥᏰᏃ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎡᏙᏓ ᏥᏯᏛᎦᏁᎸᎢ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏨᎾᏄᎪᏫᏎᎸ.

16 You didn’t 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.

ᎥᏝ ᏂᎯ ᎠᏴ ᏍᎩᏯᏑᏰᏛ ᏱᎩ, ᎠᏴᏍᎩᏂ ᏂᎯ ᎢᏨᏯᏑᏰᏛ, ᎠᎴ ᏕᏨᏯᎧᏅ ᎢᏤᏅᏍᏗᏱ ᎤᏁᏉᏨᎯ ᎢᏥᎾᏄᎪᏫᏍᏗᏱ, ᎠᎴ ᎤᏁᏉᏨᎯ ᎢᏣᏤᎵᎦ ᎦᎶᏐᎲᏍᎩ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ, ᏂᎦᎥᏃ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎡᏥᏔᏲᏎᎮᏍᏗ ᎠᎦᏴᎵᎨᎢ, ᎠᏴ ᏓᏆᏙᎥ ᎢᏥᏔᏲᏍᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏥᏁᏗᏱ.

17 “I command these things to you, that you may love one another.

ᎾᏍᎩ ᎯᎠ ᏄᏍᏗ ᎢᏨᏁᏤᎭ ᏗᏣᏓᎨᏳᎯᏳ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ.

18 If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.

ᎢᏳᏃ ᎡᎶᎯ ᎢᏥᏍᎦᎩᏳ ᏱᎩ, ᎢᏥᎦᏔᎭ ᎠᏴ ᎢᎬᏱ ᎠᎩᏍᎦᎩᏳ ᏄᎵᏍᏔᏅ ᏂᎯ ᎣᏂ.

19 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.

ᎢᏳᏃ ᎡᎶᎯ ᎢᏣᎵᎪᎯ ᏱᎨᏎᎢ, ᎡᎶᎯ ᏧᎨᏳᎯᏳ ᏱᎨᏎ ᏧᏤᎵᎦ. ᎠᏎᏃ ᎡᎶᎯ ᎢᏣᎵᎪᎯ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᏥᎩ, ᎢᏨᏯᏑᏰᏛᏍᎩᏂ ᎡᎶᎯ ᏥᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᎭ ᎡᎶᎯ ᎢᏥᏍᎦᎦ.

20 Remember the word that I said to 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 also keep yours.

ᎢᏣᏅᏖᏍᏗ ᎯᎠ ᏥᏂᏨᏪᏎᎸᎩ; ᎠᏥᎾᏝᎢ ᎥᏝ ᎤᏟ ᎠᏥᎸᏉᏗᏳ ᏱᎨᏐ ᎡᏍᎦᏉ ᎤᎾᏝᎢ. ᎢᏳᏃ ᎠᏴ ᎬᎩᏐᏢᏔᏅᎯ ᏱᎩ, ᏂᎯ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏓᎨᏥᏐᏢᏔᏂ. ᎢᏳᏃ ᎠᏴ ᎠᎩᏁᏨ ᎤᏂᏍᏆᏂᎪᏔᏅᎯ ᏱᎩ, ᏂᎯ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎢᏥᏁᏨ ᏛᏂᏍᏆᏂᎪᏔᏂ.

21 But they will do all these things to you for my name’s sake, because they don’t know him who sent me.

22 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 He who hates me, hates my Father also.

ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎠᎩᏍᎦᎩ ᎠᏴ, ᎾᏍᏉ ᎠᏍᎦᎩᏳ ᎨᏐ ᎡᏙᏓ.

24 If I hadn’t done among them the works which no one else did, they wouldn’t have had sin. But now they have seen and also hated both me and my Father.

ᎢᏳᏃ ᎠᏁᎲ ᏂᏓᎩᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎲᎾ ᏱᎨᏎᎢ ᎩᎶ ᏧᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎸᎯ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᏥᎩ, ᎥᏝ ᎠᏍᎦᏂ ᏱᎬᏩᏁᎮᎢ; ᎠᏎᏃ ᎿᎭᏉ ᎢᏧᎳ ᎪᎩᏂᎪᎲ ᎠᎴ ᎪᎩᏂᏍᎦᎩᏳ ᏄᎵᏍᏔᏅ ᎢᏧᎳ ᎠᏴ ᎡᏙᏓᏃ.

25 But this happened so that the word may be fulfilled which was written in their law, ‘They hated me without a cause.’

26 “When the Counselor 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 You will also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
