yohanaḥ 15
1 ahaṁ satyadrākṣālatāsvarūpo mama pitā tūdyānaparicārakasvarūpañca|
"I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.
2 mama yāsu śākhāsu phalāni na bhavanti tāḥ sa chinatti tathā phalavatyaḥ śākhā yathādhikaphalāni phalanti tadarthaṁ tāḥ pariṣkaroti|
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.
3 idānīṁ mayoktopadeśena yūyaṁ pariṣkṛtāḥ|
You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.
4 ataḥ kāraṇāt mayi tiṣṭhata tenāhamapi yuṣmāsu tiṣṭhāmi, yato heto rdrākṣālatāyām asaṁlagnā śākhā yathā phalavatī bhavituṁ na śaknoti tathā yūyamapi mayyatiṣṭhantaḥ phalavanto bhavituṁ na śaknutha|
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.
5 ahaṁ drākṣālatāsvarūpo yūyañca śākhāsvarūpoḥ; yo jano mayi tiṣṭhati yatra cāhaṁ tiṣṭhāmi, sa pracūraphalaiḥ phalavān bhavati, kintu māṁ vinā yūyaṁ kimapi karttuṁ na śaknutha|
I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.
6 yaḥ kaścin mayi na tiṣṭhati sa śuṣkaśākheva bahi rnikṣipyate lokāśca tā āhṛtya vahnau nikṣipya dāhayanti|
If anyone does not remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch, and withers; and they gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned.
7 yadi yūyaṁ mayi tiṣṭhatha mama kathā ca yuṣmāsu tiṣṭhati tarhi yad vāñchitvā yāciṣyadhve yuṣmākaṁ tadeva saphalaṁ bhaviṣyati|
If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.
8 yadi yūyaṁ pracūraphalavanto bhavatha tarhi tadvārā mama pitu rmahimā prakāśiṣyate tathā yūyaṁ mama śiṣyā iti parikṣāyiṣyadhve|
"In this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples.
9 pitā yathā mayi prītavān ahamapi yuṣmāsu tathā prītavān ato heto ryūyaṁ nirantaraṁ mama premapātrāṇi bhūtvā tiṣṭhata|
Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love.
10 ahaṁ yathā piturājñā gṛhītvā tasya premabhājanaṁ tiṣṭhāmi tathaiva yūyamapi yadi mamājñā guhlītha tarhi mama premabhājanāni sthāsyatha|
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 yuṣmannimittaṁ mama ya āhlādaḥ sa yathā ciraṁ tiṣṭhati yuṣmākam ānandaśca yathā pūryyate tadarthaṁ yuṣmabhyam etāḥ kathā atrakatham|
I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full.
12 ahaṁ yuṣmāsu yathā prīye yūyamapi parasparaṁ tathā prīyadhvam eṣā mamājñā|
"This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.
13 mitrāṇāṁ kāraṇāt svaprāṇadānaparyyantaṁ yat prema tasmān mahāprema kasyāpi nāsti|
Greater love has no one than this, that someone lays down his life for his friends.
14 ahaṁ yadyad ādiśāmi tattadeva yadi yūyam ācarata tarhi yūyameva mama mitrāṇi|
You are my friends, if you do whatever I command you.
15 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|
No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, for everything that I heard from my Father I have made known to you.
16 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|
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.
17 yūyaṁ parasparaṁ prīyadhvam aham ityājñāpayāmi|
"I command these things to you, that you may love one another.
18 jagato lokai ryuṣmāsu ṛtīyiteṣu te pūrvvaṁ māmevārttīyanta iti yūyaṁ jānītha|
If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.
19 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|
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.
20 dāsaḥ prabho rmahān na bhavati mamaitat pūrvvīyaṁ vākyaṁ smarata; te yadi māmevātāḍayan tarhi yuṣmānapi tāḍayiṣyanti, yadi mama vākyaṁ gṛhlanti tarhi yuṣmākamapi vākyaṁ grahīṣyanti|
Remember the word that I said to you: 'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will keep yours also.
21 kintu te mama nāmakāraṇād yuṣmān prati tādṛśaṁ vyavahariṣyanti yato yo māṁ preritavān taṁ te na jānanti|
But all these things will they do to you because of my name, because they do not know him who sent me.
22 teṣāṁ sannidhim āgatya yadyahaṁ nākathayiṣyaṁ tarhi teṣāṁ pāpaṁ nābhaviṣyat kintvadhunā teṣāṁ pāpamācchādayitum upāyo nāsti|
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 yo jano mām ṛtīyate sa mama pitaramapi ṛtīyate|
He who hates me hates my Father also.
24 yādṛśāni karmmāṇi kenāpi kadāpi nākriyanta tādṛśāni karmmāṇi yadi teṣāṁ sākṣād ahaṁ nākariṣyaṁ tarhi teṣāṁ pāpaṁ nābhaviṣyat kintvadhunā te dṛṣṭvāpi māṁ mama pitarañcārttīyanta|
If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would not have had sin. But now have they seen and also hated both me and my Father.
25 tasmāt te'kāraṇaṁ mām ṛtīyante yadetad vacanaṁ teṣāṁ śāstre likhitamāste tat saphalam abhavat|
But this happened so that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law, 'They hated me without a cause.'
26 kintu pitu rnirgataṁ yaṁ sahāyamarthāt satyamayam ātmānaṁ pituḥ samīpād yuṣmākaṁ samīpe preṣayiṣyāmi sa āgatya mayi pramāṇaṁ dāsyati|
"When the Helper 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 yūyaṁ prathamamārabhya mayā sārddhaṁ tiṣṭhatha tasmāddheto ryūyamapi pramāṇaṁ dāsyatha|
And you will also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
