¹ «Man maay garab gu wóor gi, te sama Baay mooy beykat bi.

¹`I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman;

² Car bu soqikoo ci man te meññul, dina ko dog, sànni. Waaye car bu ci meññ, dina ko tenqi, ngir mu gën a meññ.

²every branch in me not bearing fruit, He doth take it away, and every one bearing fruit, He doth cleanse by pruning it, that it may bear more fruit;

³ Yéen nag, Baay bi setal na leen jaarale ko ci kàddu gi ma leen wax, ni beykat di tenqee garabam.

³already ye are clean, because of the word that I have spoken to you;

⁴ Saxleen ci man; ma sax, man itam, ci yéen. Ni car mënul a ame ay doom, bu saxul ci garab, noonu itam dungeen man a meññ li may jëfe ci yéen, bu ngeen saxul ci man.

⁴remain in me, and I in you, as the branch is not able to bear fruit of itself, if it may not remain in the vine, so neither ye, if ye may not remain in me.

⁵ «Man maay garab gi; yéen yéenay car yi. Ki sax ci man te ma sax ci moom, dina meññ, ndaxte bu ngeen saxul ci man, dungeen man dara.

⁵`I am the vine, ye the branches; he who is remaining in me, and I in him, this one doth bear much fruit, because apart from me ye are not able to do anything;

⁶ Ku saxul ci man dinañu ko sànni ci biti, mu mel ni car bu ñu dagg, ba mu wow. Car yu wow nag, dañu leen di buub, sànni ci safara, ñu lakk.

⁶if any one may not remain in me, he was cast forth without as the branch, and was withered, and they gather them, and cast to fire, and they are burned;

⁷ Bu ngeen saxee ci man te saxal samay wax ci seen xol, lu ngeen ñaan mu nangu.

⁷if ye may remain in me, and my sayings in you may remain, whatever ye may wish ye shall ask, and it shall be done to you.

⁸ Liy feeñal sama ndamu Baay moo di, ngeen di gën a meññ tey wone noonu ne, samay taalibe ngeen.

⁸`In this was my Father glorified, that ye may bear much fruit, and ye shall become my disciples.

⁹ «Ni ma Baay bi bëggee, noonu itam laa leen bëgge. Saxleen ci mbëggeel googu ma am ci yéen.

⁹According as the Father did love me, I also loved you, remain in my love;

¹⁰ Bu ngeen toppee samay ndigal, dingeen sax ci sama mbëggeel, ni ma toppe sama ndigali Baay, ba tax ma sax ci mbëggeelam.

¹⁰if my commandments ye may keep, ye shall remain in my love, according as I the commands of my Father have kept, and do remain in His love;

¹¹ Wax naa leen loolu, ngir ngeen bokk ci sama mbég, te seen bos mat sëkk.

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

¹² Sama ndigal mooy ngeen bëggante, ni ma leen bëgge.

¹²`This is my command, that ye love one another, according as I did love you;

¹³ Genn mbëggeel mënul a weesu joxe sa bakkan ngir say xarit.

¹³greater love than this hath no one, that any one his life may lay down for his friends;

¹⁴ Samay xarit ngeen, ci kaw ngeen def li ma santaane.

¹⁴ye are my friends, if ye may do whatever I command you;

¹⁵ Dootuma leen wooye jaam, ndaxte jaam du xam li sangam di def. Xarit laa leen wooye, ndaxte xamal naa leen li ma jële lépp ci sama Baay.

¹⁵no more do I call you servants, because the servant hath not known what his lord doth, and you I have called friends, because all things that I heard from my Father, I did make known to you.

¹⁶ Du yéen yéena ma tànn, waaye man maa leen tànn, sas leen ngeen dem, meññ meññeef gu sax, ngir Baay bi def lu ngeen ko ñaan ci sama tur.

¹⁶`Ye did not choose out me, but I chose out you, and did appoint you, that ye might go away, and might bear fruit, and your fruit might remain, that whatever ye may ask of the Father in my name, He may give you.

¹⁷ Li may santaane nag, mooy ngeen bëggante.

¹⁷`These things I command you, that ye love one another;

¹⁸ «Bu leen àddina bañee, xamleen ne, man lañu jëkk a bañ.

¹⁸if the world doth hate you, ye know that it hath hated me before you;

¹⁹ Ñi bokk ci ñoom lañu bëgg. Bu ngeen bokkoon ci ñoom, dinañu leen bëgg, ni ñu bëgge seeni ñoñ. Waaye bokkuleen ci àddina, ndaxte maa leen tànn, ber leen. Looloo tax ñu bañ leen.

¹⁹if of the world ye were, the world its own would have been loving, and because of the world ye are not — but I chose out of the world — because of this the world hateth you.

²⁰ Fàttalikuleen li ma leen wax: “Jaam gënul a màgg sangam.” Bu ñu ma sonalee, dinañu leen sonal yéen itam. Bu ñu toppee sama wax, dinañu topp seen wax yéen itam.

²⁰`Remember the word that I said to you, A servant is not greater than his lord; if me they did persecute, you also they will persecute; if my word they did keep, yours also they will keep;

²¹ Waaye loolu lépp dinañu leen ko def ndax man, ndaxte xamuñu ki ma yónni.

²¹but all these things will they do to you, because of my name, because they have not known Him who sent me;

²² Su ma ñëwul woon, ne leen dara, duñu am bàkkaar. Waaye léegi amuñu lay ngir seeni bàkkaar.

²²if I had not come and spoken to them, they were not having sin; but now pretext they have not for their sin.

²³ Ku ma bañ, bañ nga itam sama Baay.

²³`He who is hating me, doth hate also my Father;

²⁴ Su ma deful woon ci seen biir jëf yu kenn deful, kon duñu am bàkkaar. Waaye léegi nag gis nañu samay jëf te teewul ñu bañ nu, man ak sama Baay.

²⁴if I did not do among them the works that no other hath done, they were not having sin, and now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father;

²⁵ Waaye loolu am na ngir kàddu gi am, kàddu gii ñu bind ci seen yoon: “Bañ nañu ma ci dara.”

²⁵but — that the word may be fulfilled that was written in their law — They hated me without a cause.

²⁶ «Dimbalikat bi dina ñëw, mooy Xel mi jóge ci Baay bi tey yor dëgg gi. Dina jóge ci Baay bi, ma yebal ko ci yéen. Moom nag, moo may seedeeli.

²⁶`And when the Comforter may come, whom I will send to you from the Father — the Spirit of truth, who from the Father doth come forth, he will testify of me;

²⁷ Te yéen itam dingeen seede samay mbir, ndaxte yéena nekkoon ak man ca njàlbéen ga.

²⁷and ye also do testify, because from the beginning ye are with me.
