1 "I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer. 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. 3 You are already pruned clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 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. 5 I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me and I in him bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. 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. 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.

8 "In this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; and so you will be my disciples. 9 Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love. 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. 11 I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be made full.

12 "This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. 14 You are my friends if you do whatever I command you. 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. 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.

17 "I command these things to you, that you may love one another. 18 If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you. 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. 20 Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his lord.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours. 21 But they will do all these things to you for my name’s sake, because they don’t know him who sent me. 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. 23 He who hates me, hates my Father also. 24 If I hadn’t done among them the works which no one else did, they wouldn’t have had sin. But now they have seen and also hated both me and my Father. 25 But this happened so that the word may be fulfilled which was written in their law, ‘They hated me without a cause.’

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

1 Ko ahau te waina pono, ko toku Matua te kaimahi.

2 Ko nga manga katoa i roto i ahau e kore e whai hua, e tangohia e ia: ko nga mea katoa hoki e whai hua ana, ka whakapaia e ia, kia maha atu ai ona hua.

3 Na kua ma tenei koutou i te kupu i korerotia e ahau ki a koutou.

4 Kia u koutou ki roto ki ahau, me ahau hoki ki roto ki a koutou. Ka rite hoki ki te manga e kore e whai hua ko ia anake, ki te kahore e u ki te waina; e kore ano hoki koutou, ki te kore e u ki roto ki ahau.

5 Ko ahau te waina, ko koutou nga manga: ki te u tetahi ki roto ki ahau, me ahau hoki ki roto ki a ia, ka maha o tera hua: ki te motu ke hoki i ahau, e kore tetahi mea e taea e koutou.

6 Ki te kore e u tetahi ki roto ki ahau, ka maka atu ia, ano he manga, a ka maroke; na ka kohikohia, ka maka ki te kapura, ka tahuna.

7 Ki te u koutou ki roto ki ahau, ki te u ano aku kupu ki roto ki a koutou, inoia e koutou ta koutou e pai ai, a ka meatia ma koutou.

8 Ka whakakororiatia toku Matua ki te penei, ki te whai hua maha koutou: a ka meinga koutou he akonga naku.

9 Rite tonu ki to te Matua aroha ki ahau toku aroha ki a koutou: kia u ki toku aroha.

10 Ki te pupuri koutou i aku ture, ka u koutou ki toku aroha: me ahau hoki kua pupuri nei i nga ture a toku Matua, ka u nei ki tona aroha.

11 Kua korerotia enei mea e ahau ki a koutou, kia pumau ai toku koa i roto i a koutou, kia tino ki ai to koutou koa.

12 Ko taku ture tenei, Kia aroha koutou tetahi ki tetahi, me ahau hoki kua aroha nei ki a koutou.

13 Kahore he aroha o tetahi i rahi ake i tenei, ara kia tuku te tangata i a ia ano kia mate mo ona hoa.

14 Ko koutou oku hoa, ki te meatia e koutou aku e whakahau nei ki a koutou.

15 Heoi ano taku meatanga he pononga koutou; e kore hoki te pononga e mohio ki ta tona ariki e mea ai: engari kua oti koutou te hua e ahau he hoa; ko aku mea katoa hoki i rongo ai ahau ki toku Matua, kua oti te whakakite e ahau ki a koutou.

16 Kahore koutou i whiriwhiri i ahau, engari naku koutou i whiriwhiri, naku ano koutou i mea kia haere, kia whai hua, kia mau tonu hoki o koutou hua: a ko ta koutou e inoi ai ki te Matua i runga i toku ingoa, ka hoatu e ia ki a koutou.

17 Ko aku whakahau enei ki a koutou, kia aroha koutou tetahi ki tetahi.

18 Ki te mea e kinongia ana koutou e te ao, e mohio ana koutou i kinongia ahau i mua i a koutou.

19 Mehemea no te ao koutou, e arohaina e te ao ona: tena ko tenei ehara nei koutou i te ao, naku koutou i whiriwhiri i roto i te ao, koia te ao ka kino ai ki a koutou.

20 Kia mahara ki te kupu i korero ai ahau ki a koutou, kahore te pononga e rahi ake i tona ariki. Ki te mea i whakatoia ahau e ratou, ka whakatoia ano koutou; ki te mea i pupuri ratou i taku kupu, ka pupuri ano ratou i ta koutou.

21 Otira e meatia katoatia enei mea e ratou ki a koutou he whakaaro ki toku ingoa, no te mea kahore ratou i mohio ki toku kaitono mai.

22 Me i kaua ahau te haere mai, te korero ki a ratou, penei kahore o ratou hara: tena ko tenei kahore o ratou whakaoraora mo to ratou hara.

23 Ko te tangata e whakakino ana ki ahau, e whakakino ana hoki ki toku Matua.

24 Me i kaua te mahia e ahau i roto i a ratou nga mahi kahore i mahia e tetahi atu, penei kahore o ratou hara: tena ko tenei kua kite ratou, kua whakakino ano hoki ki a maua tahi ko toku Matua.

25 Ma tenei ia ka rite ai te kupu i tuhituhia ki ta ratou ture, Kua kino noa ratou ki ahau.

26 Otiia ka tae mai te Kaiwhakamarie e tonoa mai e ahau ki a koutou i te Matua, te Wairua o te pono, e puta mai ana i te Matua, ko ia hei kaiwhakaatu moku:

27 Ko koutou ano hoki hei kaiwhakaatu, no te mea i ahau koutou no te timatanga iho ra ano.
