John 15
1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.
ⲁ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲧⲃⲱ ⲛⲉⲗⲟⲟⲗⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ⲱⲧ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲟⲟⲓ̈ⲉ.
2 He cuts off every one of my branches that doesn't bear fruit. He prunes every branch that bears fruit so it can bear even more.
ⲃ̅ϣⲗϩ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧʾ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛϥ̅ⲛⲁϯⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ. ϥⲛⲁⲥⲟⲗⲡϥ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ϣⲗϩ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲛⲁϯⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ. ϥⲛⲁⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟϥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉϯϩⲟⲩⲉⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ.
3 You are already pruned and made clean through what I've told you.
ⲅ̅ϫⲓⲛⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲏⲩ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓ̈ϫⲟⲟϥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅.
4 Remain in me, and I will remain in you. Just as a branch cannot produce fruit unless it remains part of the vine, so it is for you: you cannot bear fruit unless you remain in me.
ⲇ̅ϭⲱ ϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅. ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲙⲡ̅ϣⲗϩ ⲉⲧⲉⲛϥ̅ⲛⲁϣϯⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩⲁⲁϥ ⲉ͡ⲓⲙⲏⲧⲓ ⲛϥ̅ϭⲱ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲃⲱ ⲛⲉⲗⲟⲟⲗⲉ. ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲱⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲁⲛⲧⲙ̅ϭⲱ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ.
5 I'm the vine, you're the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit—for apart from me you can't do anything.
ⲉ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲧⲃⲱ ⲛⲉⲗⲟⲟⲗⲉ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ϣⲗϩ. ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁϭⲱ ϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲛⲁϯ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ ⲉⲛⲁϣⲱϥ ϫⲉ ⲁϫⲛ̅ⲧ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁϣⲣ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ
6 Anyone who doesn't remain in me is like a branch that is thrown out and dries up. Such branches are gathered together, thrown into the fire and burned.
ⲋ̅ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲟⲩⲁ ϭⲱ ϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ. ⲁⲩⲛⲟϫϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲙⲡ̅ϣⲗϩ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥϣⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲥⲟⲟⲩϩⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲛⲟϫⲟⲩ ⲉⲡⲕⲱϩⲧ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲣⲟⲭⲟⲩ.
7 If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, then you can ask for whatever you want, and it will be given you.
ⲍ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲁⲛϭⲱ ϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲁϣⲁϫⲉ ϭⲱ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅. ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲟⲩⲁϣϥ̅ ⲁⲓⲧⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ϥⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅.
8 My Father is glorified as you produce much fruit, proving you are my disciples.
ⲏ̅ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲁϥϫⲓⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲁⲓ̈ⲱⲧ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉϯⲟⲩⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ ⲉⲛⲁϣⲱϥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ.
9 As the Father loved me, so I have loved you. Remain in my love.
ⲑ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡⲁⲓ̈ⲱⲧ ⲙⲉⲣⲓⲧ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϩⲱ ⲁⲓ̈ⲙⲉⲣⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅. ϭⲱ ϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ.
10 If you do what I say, you will remain in my love, just as I do what my Father says and remain in his love.
ⲓ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲁϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲛⲁⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ. ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁϭⲱ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ. ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ϩⲱ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓ̈ϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲛⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ⲱⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ϯϭⲉⲉⲧ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ.
11 I've explained this to you so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲁⲓ̈ϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲁⲣⲁϣⲉ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲣⲁϣⲉ ϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
12 This is my command: love one another as I have loved you.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲁⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲙⲉⲣⲉⲛⲉⲧⲛⲉⲣⲏⲩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲙⲉⲣⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅.
13 There is no greater love than to give your life for your friends.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲉⲛⲁⲁⲁϥ ⲉⲧⲁⲉ͡ⲓ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉⲕⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥⲯⲩⲭⲏ ϩⲁⲛⲉϥϣⲃⲉⲉⲣ.
14 You're my friends if you do what I tell you.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁϣⲃⲉⲉⲣ. ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲁⲛⲉ͡ⲓⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϯϩⲱⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅.
15 I don't call you servants any longer, for servants are not taken into their master's confidence. I call you friends, for everything my Father told me I've explained to you.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛ̅ϯⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϭⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ϫⲉ ⲛⲁϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ϫⲉ ⲡϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉϥϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉ͡ⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ϫⲉ ⲛⲁϣⲃⲉⲉⲣ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲥⲟⲧⲙⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ⲱⲧ ⲁⲓ̈ⲧⲁⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ.
16 You didn't choose me, I chose you. I have given you the responsibility to go and produce lasting fruit. So the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲧⲡⲧ̅. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲁⲓ̈ⲥⲉⲧⲡ̅ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲓ̈ⲕⲁⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲃⲱⲕ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϯⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ ⲙⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϣⲁⲉⲛⲉϩ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲁⲛⲁ͡ⲓⲧⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲱⲧ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲛ ⲉϥⲉⲧⲁⲁϥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅.
17 This is my command to you: love one another.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲓ̈ϩⲱⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲙⲉⲣⲉⲛⲉⲧⲛⲉⲣⲏⲩ.
18 If the world hates you, remember that it hated me before it hated you.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲙⲟⲥⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲉ͡ⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁϥⲙⲉⲥⲧⲱⲉ͡ⲓ ϩⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲏ.
19 If you were part of this world, it would love you as its own. But you're not part of the world, and I chose you out of the world—that's why the world hates you.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲉⲛⲉⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ. ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲙⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲧⲉⲡⲱϥ ⲡⲉ. ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲛ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲁⲓ̈ⲥⲉⲧⲡ̅ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙⲡ̅ⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ. ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲙⲟⲥⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅.
20 Remember what I told you: servants aren't more important than their master. If they persecuted me, they will persecute you too. If they did what I told them, they will do what you tell them too.
ⲕ̅ⲁⲣⲓⲡⲙⲉⲩⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓ̈ϫⲟⲟϥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ϫⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲉⲛⲁⲁⲁϥ ⲉⲡⲉϥϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲉϣϫⲉⲁⲩⲡⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲉ͡ⲓ. ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲡⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅. ⲉϣϫⲉⲁⲩϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲡⲁϣⲁϫⲉ. ⲥⲉⲛⲁϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲡⲱⲧⲛ̅.
21 But everything they do to you will be because of me, for they don't know the one who sent me.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲣⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈.
22 If I hadn't come and spoken to them, they wouldn't be guilty of sin—but now they have no excuse for their sin.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲛⲉⲙⲡⲓⲉ͡ⲓ ⲧⲁϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ. ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲩⲗⲟⲓ̈ϭⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲉⲩⲛⲟⲃⲉ.
23 Anyone who hates me hates my Father as well.
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲙⲟⲥⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲓ̈ ϥⲙⲟⲥⲧⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ⲱⲧ.
24 If I had not given them such a demonstration through things that no one had ever done before, they wouldn't be guilty of sin, but despite seeing all this they hated both me and my Father.
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲉⲛⲉⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲣ̅ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲉⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲕⲉⲩⲁ ⲁⲁⲩ. ⲛⲉⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ. ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ̈ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲙⲉⲥⲧⲱⲓ̈ ⲛⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲕⲉⲓ̈ⲱⲧ.
25 But this just fulfilled what Scripture says, ‘They hated me for no reason at all.’
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲥⲏϩ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲩⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲙⲉⲥⲧⲱⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉⲡϫⲓⲛϫⲏ.
26 But I will send you the Comforter from the Father. When he comes, he will give evidence about me. He is the Spirit of truth who comes from the Father.
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ϩⲟⲧⲁⲛ ⲉϥϣⲁⲛⲉ͡ⲓ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲗⲏⲧⲟⲥ ⲡⲉϯⲛⲁⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲟⲩϥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲱⲧ ⲡⲉⲡⲛ̅ⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉ ⲉⲧⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲱⲧ ⲡⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲁⲣ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲏⲧ.
27 You will also give evidence about me because you were with me from the beginning.
