¹Jaz sem prava trta, in Oče moj je vinogradnik.

¹ “I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer.

²Vsako mladiko na meni, ki ne rodi sadu, odreže; in vsako, ki rodi sad, očiščuje, da bo rodila več sadu.

² Every branch in me that doesn’t bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.

³Vi ste že čisti zavoljo besede, ki sem vam jo govoril.

³ You are already pruned clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.

⁴Ostanite v meni, in jaz v vas. Kakor mladika sama od sebe ne more roditi sadu, če ne ostane na trti: tako tudi vi ne, če ne ostanete v meni.

⁴ Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch can’t bear fruit by itself, unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me.

⁵Jaz sem trta, vi mladike. Kdor ostaja v meni in jaz v njem, ta rodi veliko sadu: zakaj brez mene ne morete ničesar storiti.

⁵ 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.

⁶Ako kdo ne ostane v meni, bo vržen ven kakor mladika in se posuši: in zbero jih in vržejo na ogenj, in goré.

⁶ If a man doesn’t 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.

⁷Če ostanete v meni in besede moje ostanejo v vas: prosite, karkoli hočete, in se vam zgodi.

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.

⁸S tem se bo oslavil Oče moj, da obrodite veliko sadu, in tako bodete moji učenci.

⁸ “In this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; and so you will be my disciples.

⁹Kakor je Oče mene ljubil, sem tudi jaz ljubil vas: ostanite v tej moji ljubezni.

⁹ Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love.

¹⁰Če boste izpolnjevali zapovedi moje, ostanete v ljubezni moji; kakor sem jaz izpolnil zapovedi Očeta svojega in ostajam v ljubezni njegovi.

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.

¹¹To sem vam povedal, da moja radost ostane v vas in da se vaša radost dopolni.

¹¹ I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be made full.

¹²Moja zapoved je ta, da se ljubite med seboj, kakor sem vas jaz ljubil.

¹² “This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.

¹³Večje ljubezni od te nima nihče, da kdo dá življenje svoje za prijatelje svoje.

¹³ Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

¹⁴Vi ste prijatelji moji, ako delate, kar vam ukazujem.

¹⁴ You are my friends, if you do whatever I command you.

¹⁵Ne imenujem vas več hlapcev, ker hlapec ne ve, kaj dela gospodar njegov; toda vas sem imenoval prijatelje, ker sem vam oznanil vse, kar sem slišal od Očeta svojega.

¹⁵ No longer do I call you servants, for the servant doesn’t 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.

¹⁶Niste izvolili vi mene, temuč jaz sem izvolil vas, in postavil sem vas, da greste in obrodite sad in da sad vaš ostane: da vam dá Oče, karkoli ga boste prosili v mojem imenu.

¹⁶ You didn’t 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.

¹⁷To vam zapovedujem, da se ljubite med seboj.

¹⁷ “I command these things to you, that you may love one another.

¹⁸Če vas svet sovraži, vedite, da je mene prej sovražil nego vas.

¹⁸ If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.

¹⁹Ko bi bili od sveta, svet bi svoje ljubil; ker pa niste od sveta, temuč sem vas jaz odbral iz sveta, zato vas svet sovraži.

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.

²⁰Spominjajte se besede, ki sem jo vam jaz rekel: Hlapec ni večji od gospodarja svojega. Če so mene preganjali, bodo preganjali tudi vas; če so mojo besedo ohranili, ohranijo tudi vašo.

²⁰ Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his lord.’ John 13:16 If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will keep yours also.

²¹Ali to vse vam bodo delali zavoljo imena mojega, ker ne poznajo tega, ki me je poslal.

²¹ But all these things will they do to you for my name’s sake, because they don’t know him who sent me.

²²Ko ne bi bil prišel in jim ne bi bil govoril, ne bi imeli greha; sedaj pa nimajo izgovora za greh svoj.

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.

²³Kdor mene sovraži, sovraži tudi Očeta mojega.

²³ He who hates me, hates my Father also.

²⁴Ko ne bi bil storil med njimi del, ki jih nihče drugi ni storil, ne bi imeli greha; sedaj so pa videli in sovražili mene in tudi Očeta mojega.

²⁴ If I hadn’t done among them the works which no one else did, they wouldn’t have had sin. But now have they seen and also hated both me and my Father.

²⁵Ali to se godi, da se izpolni beseda, ki je pisana v njih postavi: „Sovražili so me brez vzroka“.

²⁵ But this happened so that the word may be fulfilled which was written in their law, ‘They hated me without a cause.’ Psalms 35:19; 69:4

²⁶Kadar pa pride Tolažnik, ki ga vam pošljem od Očeta, Duh resnice, ki izhaja od Očeta, on bo pričeval zame;pa tudi vi pričujete, ker ste od začetka z menoj.

²⁶ “When the Counselor Greek Parakletos: Counselor, Helper, Advocate, Intercessor, and Comforter. 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.

²⁷pa tudi vi pričujete, ker ste od začetka z menoj.

²⁷ You will also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
