John 15
1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer.
ahaṁ satyadrākṣālatāsvarūpo mama pitā tūdyānaparicārakasvarūpañca|
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.
mama yāsu śākhāsu phalāni na bhavanti tāḥ sa chinatti tathā phalavatyaḥ śākhā yathādhikaphalāni phalanti tadarthaṁ tāḥ pariṣkaroti|
3 You are already pruned clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.
idānīṁ mayoktopadeśena yūyaṁ pariṣkṛtāḥ|
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.
ataḥ kāraṇāt mayi tiṣṭhata tenāhamapi yuṣmāsu tiṣṭhāmi, yato heto rdrākṣālatāyām asaṁlagnā śākhā yathā phalavatī bhavituṁ na śaknoti tathā yūyamapi mayyatiṣṭhantaḥ phalavanto bhavituṁ na śaknutha|
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.
ahaṁ drākṣālatāsvarūpo yūyañca śākhāsvarūpoḥ; yo jano mayi tiṣṭhati yatra cāhaṁ tiṣṭhāmi, sa pracūraphalaiḥ phalavān bhavati, kintu māṁ vinā yūyaṁ kimapi karttuṁ na śaknutha|
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.
yaḥ kaścin mayi na tiṣṭhati sa śuṣkaśākheva bahi rnikṣipyate lokāśca tā āhṛtya vahnau nikṣipya dāhayanti|
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.
yadi yūyaṁ mayi tiṣṭhatha mama kathā ca yuṣmāsu tiṣṭhati tarhi yad vāñchitvā yāciṣyadhve yuṣmākaṁ tadeva saphalaṁ bhaviṣyati|
8 “In this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; and so you will be my disciples.
yadi yūyaṁ pracūraphalavanto bhavatha tarhi tadvārā mama pitu rmahimā prakāśiṣyate tathā yūyaṁ mama śiṣyā iti parikṣāyiṣyadhve|
9 Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love.
pitā yathā mayi prītavān ahamapi yuṣmāsu tathā prītavān ato heto ryūyaṁ nirantaraṁ mama premapātrāṇi bhūtvā tiṣṭhata|
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.
ahaṁ yathā piturājñā gṛhītvā tasya premabhājanaṁ tiṣṭhāmi tathaiva yūyamapi yadi mamājñā guhlītha tarhi mama premabhājanāni sthāsyatha|
11 I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be made full.
yuṣmannimittaṁ mama ya āhlādaḥ sa yathā ciraṁ tiṣṭhati yuṣmākam ānandaśca yathā pūryyate tadarthaṁ yuṣmabhyam etāḥ kathā atrakatham|
12 “This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.
ahaṁ yuṣmāsu yathā prīye yūyamapi parasparaṁ tathā prīyadhvam eṣā mamājñā|
13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
mitrāṇāṁ kāraṇāt svaprāṇadānaparyyantaṁ yat prema tasmān mahāprema kasyāpi nāsti|
14 You are my friends if you do whatever I command you.
ahaṁ yadyad ādiśāmi tattadeva yadi yūyam ācarata tarhi yūyameva mama mitrāṇi|
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.
adyārabhya yuṣmān dāsān na vadiṣyāmi yat prabhu ryat karoti dāsastad na jānāti; kintu pituḥ samīpe yadyad aśṛṇavaṁ tat sarvvaṁ yūṣmān ajñāpayam tatkāraṇād yuṣmān mitrāṇi proktavān|
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.
yūyaṁ māṁ rocitavanta iti na, kintvahameva yuṣmān rocitavān yūyaṁ gatvā yathā phalānyutpādayatha tāni phalāni cākṣayāṇi bhavanti, tadarthaṁ yuṣmān nyajunajaṁ tasmān mama nāma procya pitaraṁ yat kiñcid yāciṣyadhve tadeva sa yuṣmabhyaṁ dāsyati|
17 “I command these things to you, that you may love one another.
yūyaṁ parasparaṁ prīyadhvam aham ityājñāpayāmi|
18 If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.
jagato lokai ryuṣmāsu ṛtīyiteṣu te pūrvvaṁ māmevārttīyanta iti yūyaṁ jānītha|
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.
yadi yūyaṁ jagato lokā abhaviṣyata tarhi jagato lokā yuṣmān ātmīyān buddhvāpreṣyanta; kintu yūyaṁ jagato lokā na bhavatha, ahaṁ yuṣmān asmājjagato'rocayam etasmāt kāraṇājjagato lokā yuṣmān ṛtīyante|
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.
dāsaḥ prabho rmahān na bhavati mamaitat pūrvvīyaṁ vākyaṁ smarata; te yadi māmevātāḍayan tarhi yuṣmānapi tāḍayiṣyanti, yadi mama vākyaṁ gṛhlanti tarhi yuṣmākamapi vākyaṁ grahīṣyanti|
21 But they will do all these things to you for my name’s sake, because they don’t know him who sent me.
kintu te mama nāmakāraṇād yuṣmān prati tādṛśaṁ vyavahariṣyanti yato yo māṁ preritavān taṁ te na jānanti|
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.
teṣāṁ sannidhim āgatya yadyahaṁ nākathayiṣyaṁ tarhi teṣāṁ pāpaṁ nābhaviṣyat kintvadhunā teṣāṁ pāpamācchādayitum upāyo nāsti|
23 He who hates me, hates my Father also.
yo jano mām ṛtīyate sa mama pitaramapi ṛtīyate|
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.
yādṛśāni karmmāṇi kenāpi kadāpi nākriyanta tādṛśāni karmmāṇi yadi teṣāṁ sākṣād ahaṁ nākariṣyaṁ tarhi teṣāṁ pāpaṁ nābhaviṣyat kintvadhunā te dṛṣṭvāpi māṁ mama pitarañcārttīyanta|
25 But this happened so that the word may be fulfilled which was written in their law, ‘They hated me without a cause.’
tasmāt te'kāraṇaṁ mām ṛtīyante yadetad vacanaṁ teṣāṁ śāstre likhitamāste tat saphalam abhavat|
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.
kintu pitu rnirgataṁ yaṁ sahāyamarthāt satyamayam ātmānaṁ pituḥ samīpād yuṣmākaṁ samīpe preṣayiṣyāmi sa āgatya mayi pramāṇaṁ dāsyati|
27 You will also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
yūyaṁ prathamamārabhya mayā sārddhaṁ tiṣṭhatha tasmāddheto ryūyamapi pramāṇaṁ dāsyatha|
