1I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
1 Ay no ga ti reyzin* nya tikse cimi-cimo, ay Baaba mo ga ti farkwa.
2[As to] every branch in me not bearing fruit, he takes it away; and [as to] every one bearing fruit, he purges it that it may bring forth more fruit.
2 Kambe kulu kaŋ go ay ra kaŋ si ize hay, a g'a kaa. Wo kulu mo kaŋ ga izeyaŋ hay, a g'a hanse, zama a ma izeyaŋ hay ka tonton.
3Ye are already clean by reason of the word which I have spoken to you.
3 Baa sohõ araŋ wo hananteyaŋ no, sanno kaŋ ay ci araŋ se sabbay se.
4Abide in me and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abide in the vine, thus neither [can] ye unless ye abide in me.
4 Araŋ ma goro ay ra, ay mo _ga goro|_ araŋ ra. Sanda mate kaŋ cine kambe si hin ka ize hay nga boŋ se, kala day a ma goro reyzin nyaŋo tiksa gaa, yaadin mo no araŋ si hin, kala nd'araŋ go ga goro ay ra.
5I am the vine, ye [are] the branches. He that abides in me and I in him, *he* bears much fruit; for without me ye can do nothing.
5 Ay no ga ti reyzin nya tikse, araŋ no ga ti kambey. Boro kaŋ ga goro ay ra, ay mo ga goro a ra, bora din ga ize boobo hay, zama da manti ay, araŋ si hin ka hay kulu te.
6Unless any one abide in me he is cast out as the branch, and is dried up; and they gather them and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
6 Boro kaŋ si goro ay ra, i g'a pati ka furu, danga mate kaŋ cine i ga te reyzin kambe se. A ga koogu. I g'i margu mo ka catu danji ra k'i ton.
7If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will and it shall come to pass to you.
7 D'araŋ ga goro ay ra, nga no ay sanney go araŋ ra, hay kulu kaŋ araŋ ga ba, araŋ m'a ŋwaaray, araŋ ga du a mo.
8In this is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit, and ye shall become disciples of mine.
8 Mate kaŋ i g'ay Baabo beerandi neeya: araŋ ma ize boobo hay. Yaadin gaa no araŋ ga cabe kaŋ araŋ ya ay talibiyaŋ no.
9As the Father has loved me, I also have loved you: abide in my love.
9 Danga mate kaŋ cine ay Baaba ba ay, yaadin no ay mo ba araŋ. Araŋ ma goro ay baakasina ra.
10If ye shall keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love, as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.
10 D'araŋ g'ay lordey gana, araŋ ga goro ay baakasina ra, danga mate kaŋ cine ay n'ay Baaba lordey gana ka goro a baakasina ra.
11I have spoken these things to you that my joy may be in you, and your joy be full.
11 Ay na hayey din ci araŋ se zama ay farhã ma bara araŋ ra, araŋ farhã mo ma to.
12This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you.
12 Ay lordo neeya: araŋ ma ba care, danga mate kaŋ cine ay ga ba araŋ.
13No one has greater love than this, that one should lay down his life for his friends.
13 Boro kulu sinda baakasinay kaŋ ga bisa woone: boro ma nga fundi no nga corey se.
14Ye are my friends if ye practise whatever I command you.
14 Araŋ ya ay coroyaŋ no, d'araŋ ga haŋ kaŋ ay g'araŋ lordi nd'a te.
15I call you no longer bondmen, for the bondman does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things which I have heard of my Father I have made known to you.
15 Ay si ye ka ne araŋ se bannyayaŋ koyne, zama bannya si bay haŋ kaŋ nga koyo goono ga te. Amma ay ga ne araŋ se coroyaŋ, zama hayey kulu kaŋ ay maa ay Baaba do, ay n'araŋ bayrandi nd'ey.
16Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and have set you that ye should go and [that] ye should bear fruit, and [that] your fruit should abide, that whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name he may give you.
16 Araŋ mana ay suuban, amma ay no k'araŋ suuban k'araŋ daŋ araŋ ma koy ka izeyaŋ hay, araŋ izey mo ma goro, hala hay kulu kaŋ araŋ ga Baaba ŋwaaray ay maa ra, a ga woodin no araŋ se.
17These things I command you, that ye love one another.
17 Haŋ kaŋ ay g'araŋ lordi nd'a ga ti: araŋ ma ba care.
18If the world hate you, know that it has hated me before you.
18 Da ndunnya konna araŋ, araŋ ma bay kaŋ a konna ay za a mana konna araŋ.
19If 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, on account of this the world hates you.
19 D'araŋ ya ndunnya wane yaŋ no, doŋ ndunnya ga ba nga waney, amma za kaŋ araŋ wo manti ndunnya wane yaŋ no, amma ay n'araŋ suuban ka kaa waani ndunnya ra, woodin sabbay se no ndunnya ga konna araŋ.
20Remember the word which I said unto you, The bondman is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my word, they will keep also yours.
20 Araŋ ma fongu nda sanno kaŋ ay ci araŋ se: ‹bannya si bisa nga koyo›. D'i n'ay gurzugandi, i g'araŋ mo gurzugandi. D'i n'ay sanno gana, i g'araŋ wano mo gana.
21But they will do all these things to you on account of my name, because they have not known him that sent me.
21 Amma i ga hayey din kulu te araŋ se ay maa sabbay se, zama i s'ay dontonkwa bay.
22If I had not come and spoken to them, they had not had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.
22 D'ay mana kaa ka salaŋ i se, doŋ i sinda zunubi, amma sohõ i sinda ngey zunubey se kobay.
23He that hates me hates also my Father.
23 Boro kaŋ ga konna ay, a ga konna ay Baaba mo.
24If I had not done among them the works which no other one has done, they had not had sin; but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.
24 D'ay mana goyey te i game ra kaŋ boro kulu mana te, doŋ i sinda zunubi, amma sohõ i di _goyey din|_, i konna in d'ay Baaba mo.
25But that the word written in their law might be fulfilled, They hated me without a cause.
25 Amma woodin te zama i ma sanno toonandi kaŋ i hantum i Tawreto* ra ka ne: ‹I konna ay, sabaabu kulu si.›
26But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes forth from with the Father, *he* shall bear witness concerning me;
26 Amma waati kaŋ Gaakwa ga kaa, kaŋ ay ga donton araŋ se a ma fun Baaba do, cimi Biya no kaŋ ga fun Baabo do, a ga seeda no ay boŋ.
27and ye too bear witness, because ye are with me from [the] beginning.
27 Araŋ mo ga seeda no, zama araŋ go ay banda za sintina.
