John 15
1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer.
ahaṁ satyadrākṣālatāsvarūpō mama pitā tūdyānaparicārakasvarūpañca|
2 Every branch in me that does not 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 pariṣkarōti|
3 You are already pruned clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.
idānīṁ mayōktōpadēśēna yūyaṁ pariṣkr̥tāḥ|
4 Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me.
ataḥ kāraṇāt mayi tiṣṭhata tēnāhamapi yuṣmāsu tiṣṭhāmi, yatō hētō rdrākṣālatāyām asaṁlagnā śākhā yathā phalavatī bhavituṁ na śaknōti tathā yūyamapi mayyatiṣṭhantaḥ phalavantō 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 drākṣālatāsvarūpō yūyañca śākhāsvarūpōḥ; yō janō mayi tiṣṭhati yatra cāhaṁ tiṣṭhāmi, sa pracūraphalaiḥ phalavān bhavati, kintu māṁ vinā yūyaṁ kimapi karttuṁ na śaknutha|
6 If a man does not 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 śuṣkaśākhēva bahi rnikṣipyatē lōkāśca tā āhr̥tya 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 yāciṣyadhvē yuṣmākaṁ tadēva saphalaṁ bhaviṣyati|
8 “In this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; and so you will be my disciples.
yadi yūyaṁ pracūraphalavantō bhavatha tarhi tadvārā mama pitu rmahimā prakāśiṣyatē tathā yūyaṁ mama śiṣyā iti parikṣāyiṣyadhvē|
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 atō hētō ryūyaṁ nirantaraṁ mama prēmapātrāṇi 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 gr̥hītvā tasya prēmabhājanaṁ tiṣṭhāmi tathaiva yūyamapi yadi mamājñā guhlītha tarhi mama prēmabhājanāni 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 pūryyatē tadarthaṁ yuṣmabhyam ētāḥ kathā atrakatham|
12 “This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.
ahaṁ yuṣmāsu yathā prīyē yūyamapi parasparaṁ tathā prīyadhvam ēṣā mamājñā|
13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
mitrāṇāṁ kāraṇāt svaprāṇadānaparyyantaṁ yat prēma tasmān mahāprēma kasyāpi nāsti|
14 You are my friends if you do whatever I command you.
ahaṁ yadyad ādiśāmi tattadēva yadi yūyam ācarata tarhi yūyamēva mama mitrāṇi|
15 No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not 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 karōti dāsastad na jānāti; kintu pituḥ samīpē yadyad aśr̥ṇavaṁ tat sarvvaṁ yūṣmān ajñāpayam tatkāraṇād yuṣmān mitrāṇi prōktavān|
16 You did not 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 rōcitavanta iti na, kintvahamēva yuṣmān rōcitavān yūyaṁ gatvā yathā phalānyutpādayatha tāni phalāni cākṣayāṇi bhavanti, tadarthaṁ yuṣmān nyajunajaṁ tasmān mama nāma prōcya pitaraṁ yat kiñcid yāciṣyadhvē tadēva 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.
jagatō lōkai ryuṣmāsu r̥tīyitēṣu tē pūrvvaṁ māmēvārttīyanta 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 jagatō lōkā abhaviṣyata tarhi jagatō lōkā yuṣmān ātmīyān buddhvāprēṣyanta; kintu yūyaṁ jagatō lōkā na bhavatha, ahaṁ yuṣmān asmājjagatō'rōcayam ētasmāt kāraṇājjagatō lōkā yuṣmān r̥tīyantē|
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 prabhō rmahān na bhavati mamaitat pūrvvīyaṁ vākyaṁ smarata; tē yadi māmēvātāḍayan tarhi yuṣmānapi tāḍayiṣyanti, yadi mama vākyaṁ gr̥hlanti tarhi yuṣmākamapi vākyaṁ grahīṣyanti|
21 But they will do all these things to you for my name’s sake, because they do not know him who sent me.
kintu tē mama nāmakāraṇād yuṣmān prati tādr̥śaṁ vyavahariṣyanti yatō yō māṁ prēritavān taṁ tē 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.
tēṣāṁ sannidhim āgatya yadyahaṁ nākathayiṣyaṁ tarhi tēṣāṁ pāpaṁ nābhaviṣyat kintvadhunā tēṣāṁ pāpamācchādayitum upāyō nāsti|
23 He who hates me, hates my Father also.
yō janō mām r̥tīyatē sa mama pitaramapi r̥tīyatē|
24 If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would not have had sin. But now they have seen and also hated both me and my Father.
yādr̥śāni karmmāṇi kēnāpi kadāpi nākriyanta tādr̥śāni karmmāṇi yadi tēṣāṁ sākṣād ahaṁ nākariṣyaṁ tarhi tēṣāṁ pāpaṁ nābhaviṣyat kintvadhunā tē dr̥ṣṭvāpi 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 tē'kāraṇaṁ mām r̥tīyantē yadētad vacanaṁ tēṣāṁ śāstrē likhitamāstē 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 samīpē prēṣayiṣyāmi sa āgatya mayi pramāṇaṁ dāsyati|
27 You will also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
yūyaṁ prathamamārabhya mayā sārddhaṁ tiṣṭhatha tasmāddhētō ryūyamapi pramāṇaṁ dāsyatha|
