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

¹ Ay no ga ti reyzin* nya tikse cimi-cimo, ay Baaba mo ga ti farkwa.

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.

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.

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

³ Baa sohõ araŋ wo hananteyaŋ no, sanno kaŋ ay ci araŋ se sabbay se.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

⁹ Danga mate kaŋ cine ay Baaba ba ay, yaadin no ay mo ba araŋ. Araŋ ma goro ay baakasina ra.

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.

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.

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

¹¹ Ay na hayey din ci araŋ se zama ay farhã ma bara araŋ ra, araŋ farhã mo ma to.

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

¹² Ay lordo neeya: araŋ ma ba care, danga mate kaŋ cine ay ga ba araŋ.

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

¹³ Boro kulu sinda baakasinay kaŋ ga bisa woone: boro ma nga fundi no nga corey se.

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

¹⁴ Araŋ ya ay coroyaŋ no, d'araŋ ga haŋ kaŋ ay g'araŋ lordi nd'a te.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

¹⁷ Haŋ kaŋ ay g'araŋ lordi nd'a ga ti: araŋ ma ba care.

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

¹⁸ Da ndunnya konna araŋ, araŋ ma bay kaŋ a konna ay za a mana konna araŋ.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

²¹ Amma i ga hayey din kulu te araŋ se ay maa sabbay se, zama i s'ay dontonkwa bay.

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.

²² D'ay mana kaa ka salaŋ i se, doŋ i sinda zunubi, amma sohõ i sinda ngey zunubey se kobay.

²³ He who hates me, hates my Father also.

²³ Boro kaŋ ga konna ay, a ga konna ay Baaba mo.

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.

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.

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

²⁵ Amma woodin te zama i ma sanno toonandi kaŋ i hantum i Tawreto* ra ka ne: ‹I konna ay, sabaabu kulu si.›

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.

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.

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

²⁷ Araŋ mo ga seeda no, zama araŋ go ay banda za sintina.
