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

¹Kei grep gui dik tuh ka hi, ka Pa a Kempa ahi.

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.

²Keia hiang gah lou peuhmah a la manga; a gah peuhmah a hah siangthou a, a gah tam semna dingin.

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

³Na kiang ua ka thu gen jiakin tun ah leng na sianghtou khin pah uhi.

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.

⁴Keimah ah om gige un, kei leng noumau ah ka om gige ding. Hiang, grep guia a om gige kei leh amah in a gah theikei bangin, nou leng keimaha na om gige kei uleh, na gah theikei ding uh.

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.

⁵Kei a grep gui tuh ka hi, nou ahiangte na hi uh; kuapeuh keimaha om gige a, kei leng amaha ka om gige na, huai mah tuh tampiin a gah nak hi; keimah louin lah bangmah na hih theikei ua.

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.

⁶Mi keia a om gige kei leh, hiang banga paihkhiakin a om a, a vuai nak hi; huan, a tom ua, mei ah a pai ua, a kang nak hi.

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.

⁷Nou keimaha na om gige ua, ka thu leng noumaua a om gige leh, na ut peuh uh ngen un, nou adia hihin a om jel ding hi.

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

⁸Hiai jiakin ka Pa tuh pahtawiin a om, tampia na gah un; huchiin ka nungjuite na hi ding uh.

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

⁹Pan kei honit bangmahin kon it hi; ka itna ah om gige un.

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.

¹⁰Nou ka thupiakte na zuih uleh ka itna ah na om gige ding uhi, ken ka Pa thupiakte ka juia, a itnaa ka om gige mah bangin.

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

¹¹Ka kipah noumaua a om gige theihna din leh, na kipah uh a kimna dingin, hiai thu na kiang uah ka gen ahi.

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

¹²Hiai ka thupiak ahi, ken nou kon it bngin, noumau leng kiit unla.

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

¹³Mihingin a lawm adia a hinna a piak vala itna thupijaw kumahin a neikei.

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

¹⁴Thu kon piak peuhmah na hih uleh, ka lawmte na hi ding uhi.

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.

¹⁵Sikha kon chi nawnta kei dia; a pu thilhih sikhain a thei ngal keia; lawmte kon chi zota ding; Pa kianga ka thil jak tengteng na kiang uah ka hontheisakta ngala.

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.

¹⁶Nou non tel kei ua, ken kon tel jaw ahi, vagah ding leh na gah uh om gige dingin kon sep hi; ka mina Pa kianga na nget peuhmah uh nou a hon piakna dingin.

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

¹⁷Na kiit theihna ding un hiai thu khawng kon pia ahi.

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

¹⁸Khovelin nou a honhuat leh, nou a honhuat main keimah honho khinta chih na thei un.

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.

¹⁹Nou khovela hi le uchin, khovelin amaha a it ding; khovela kipan kon tel khiak jawk jiakin, khovelin nou a honhua ahi.

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.

²⁰Sikha a pu sangin a thupizo kei, chih thu kon hilhta hi, theigige un. Amau kei honsawi uleh, nou leng honsawi ding uh; ka thu jui hita le uh, noumau thu leng a jui ding uhi.

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

²¹Himahleh, hiai thil tengteng ka min jiakin na tunguah a hih ding uh, honsawlpa a theih louh jiak un.

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.

²²Kei hongpai keiin a kiang uah thu gen kei leng, khelhna neilou ding hi ua, himahleh tuin a khelhna uh paulap ding a neita kei uh ahi.

²³ He who hates me, hates my Father also.

²³Kuapeuh kei honhuain, ka Pa leng a hua ahi.

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.

²⁴Thil, midang kuamah hih ngei louhte, a lak ua hih lou hita leng, khelhna neilou ding hi ua, himahleh tuin amau kei leh ka Pa ka nih un honmuta uh, huat leng honhota uh ahi.

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

²⁵A dan laibu uah, amau a jiak om louin honhua uh, chih, thu gelhpen, a hongtunna dingin a hih uh ahi ve.

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.

²⁶Huan, Pa kiang akipan Khamuanpa na kiang ua ka honsawl ding, Paa kipan thutak Kha a hongtun hun chiangin, aman keimah hontheihpihnathu a gen ding;nou leng theihpihte nahi uh, a tunga kipan ka kianga na om jiak un.

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

²⁷nou leng theihpihte nahi uh, a tunga kipan ka kianga na om jiak un.
