John 15
1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser.
Ego sum vitis vera: et Pater meus agricola est.
2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he trimmeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
Omnem palmitem in me non ferentem fructum, tollet eum: et omnem, qui fert fructum, purgabit eum, ut fructum plus afferat.
3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken to you.
Iam vos mundi estis propter sermonem, quem locutus sum vobis.
4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
Manete in me: et ego in vobis. Sicut palmes non potest fere fructum a semetipso, nisi manserit in vite: sic nec vos, nisi in me manseritis.
5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
Ego sum vitis, vos palmites: qui manet in me, et ego in eo, hic fert fructum multum: quia sine me nihil potestis facere.
6 If a man abideth not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
Si quis in me non manserit: mittetur foras sicut palmes, et arescet, et colligent eum, et in ignem mittent, et ardet.
7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done to you.
Si manseritis in me, et verba mea in vobis manserint: quodcumque volueritis petetis, et fiet vobis.
8 In this is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
In hoc clarificatus est Pater meus, ut fructum plurimum afferatis, et efficiamini mei discipuli.
9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
Sicut dilexit me Pater, et ego dilexi vos. Manete in dilectione mea.
10 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.
Si præcepta mea servaveritis, manebitis in dilectione mea, sicut et ego Patris mei præcepta servavi, et maneo in eius dilectione.
11 These things have I spoken to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.
Hæc locutus sum vobis: ut gaudium meum in vobis sit, et gaudium vestrum impleatur.
12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
Hoc est præceptum meum ut diligatis invicem, sicut dilexi vos.
13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Maiorem hac dilectionem nemo habet, ut animam suam ponat qui pro amicis suis.
14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatever I command you.
Vos amici mei estis, si feceritis quæ ego præcipio vobis.
15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.
Iam non dicam vos servos: quia servus nescit quid faciat dominus eius. Vos autem dixi amicos: quia omnia quæcumque audivi a Patre meo, nota feci vobis.
16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you.
Non vos me elegistis: sed ego elegi vos, et posui vos ut eatis, et fructum afferatis: et fructus vester maneat: ut quodcumque petieritis Patrem in nomine meo, det vobis.
17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.
Hæc mando vobis, ut diligatis invicem.
18 If the world hateth you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
Si mundus vos odit: scitote quia me priorem vobis odio habuit.
19 If ye were of the world, the world would love its own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
Si de mundo fuissetis: mundus quod suum erat diligeret: quia vero de mundo non estis, sed ego elegi vos de mundo, propterea odit vos mundus.
20 Remember the word that I said to you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
Mementote sermonis mei, quem ego dixi vobis: non est servus maior domino suo. Si me persecuti sunt, et vos persequentur: si sermonem meum servaverunt, et vestrum servabunt.
21 But all these things will they do to you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me.
Sed hæc omnia facient vobis propter nomen meum: quia nesciunt eum, qui misit me.
22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.
Si non venissem, et locutus fuissem eis, peccatum non haberent: nunc autem excusationem non habent de peccato suo.
23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
Qui me odit: et Patrem meum odit.
24 If I had not done among them the works which no other man hath done, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
Si opera non fecissem in eis, quæ nemo alius fecit, peccatum non haberent: nunc autem et viderunt, et oderunt et me, et Patrem meum.
25 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
Sed ut adimpleatur sermo, qui in lege eorum scriptus est: Quia odio habuerunt me gratis.
26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send to you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, who proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify concerning me:
Cum autem venerit Paraclitus, quem ego mittam vobis a Patre, Spiritum veritatis, qui a Patre procedit, ille testimonium perhibebit de me:
27 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
et vos testimonium perhibebitis, quia ab initio mecum estis.
