15:1
Ἐγώ εἰμι ἡ ἄμπελος ἡ ἀληθινή, καὶ ὁ πατήρ μου ὁ γεωργός ἐστιν.
Ego sum vitis vera, et Pater meus agricola est.
አነ ውእቱ ሐረገ ወይን ዘጽድቅ ወአቡየ ተካሊሁ ውእቱ።
“I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer.
15:2
πᾶν κλῆμα ἐν ἐμοὶ μὴ φέρον καρπόν, αἴρει αὐτό, καὶ πᾶν τὸ καρπὸν φέρον, καθαίρει αὐτὸ ἵνα καρπὸν πλείονα φέρῃ.
Omnem palmitem in me non ferentem fructum, tollet eum, et omnem qui fert fructum, purgabit eum, ut fructum plus afferat.
ወለኵሉ ዐጽቅ ዘኢይፈሪ በላዕሌየ ይገዝምዎ ወያአትትዎ ወለኵሉ ዐጽቅ ዘይፈሪ ያስተናጽሕዎ ከመ ብዙኀ ይፍረይ።
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.
15:3
ἤδη ὑμεῖς καθαροί ἐστε διὰ τὸν λόγον ὃν λελάληκα ὑμῖν·
Jam vos mundi estis propter sermonem quem locutus sum vobis.
ወአንትሙሰ ወዳእክሙ ንጹሓን አንትሙ በእንተ ቃል ዘነገርኩክሙ።
You are already pruned clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.
15:4
μείνατε ἐν ἐμοί, κἀγὼ ἐν ὑμῖν. καθὼς τὸ κλῆμα οὐ δύναται καρπὸν φέρειν ἀφ’ ἑαυτοῦ ἐὰν μὴ μένῃ ἐν τῇ ἀμπέλῳ, οὕτως οὐδὲ ὑμεῖς ἐὰν μὴ ἐν ἐμοὶ μένητε.
Manete in me, et ego in vobis. Sicut palmes non potest ferre fructum a semetipso, nisi manserit in vite, sic nec vos, nisi in me manseritis.
ንበሩ ብየ ወአነሂ ብክሙ ወበከመ ዐጽቅ ኢይክል ፈርየ ባሕቲቱ እመ ኢሀሎ ውስተ ጕንደ ወይኑ ከማሁ አንትሙኒ ኢትክሉ ፈርየ ለእመ ኢነበርክሙ ብየ።
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.
15:5
ἐγώ εἰμι ἡ ἄμπελος, ὑμεῖς τὰ κλήματα. ὁ μένων ἐν ἐμοὶ κἀγὼ ἐν αὐτῷ, οὗτος φέρει καρπὸν πολύν, ὅτι χωρὶς ἐμοῦ οὐ δύνασθε ποιεῖν οὐδέν.
Ego sum vitis, vos palmites : qui manet in me, et ego in eo, hic fert fructum multum, quia sine me nihil potestis facere.
አነ ውእቱ ጕንደ ወይን ወአንትሙሂ አዕጹቂሁ ዘነበረ ብየ ወአነሂ ቦቱ ውእቱኬ ዘይፈሪ ብዙኀ እስመ ዘእንበሌየሰ አልቦ ዘትክሉ ገቢረ ወኢምንተኒ።
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.
15:6
ἐὰν μή τις μένῃ ἐν ἐμοί, ἐβλήθη ἔξω ὡς τὸ κλῆμα καὶ ἐξηράνθη, καὶ συνάγουσιν αὐτὸ καὶ εἰς τὸ πῦρ βάλλουσιν, καὶ καίεται.
Si quis in me non manserit, mittetur foras sicut palmes, et arescet, et colligent eum, et in ignem mittent, et ardet.
ወእመቦ ዘኢነበረ ብየ ይገድፍዎ አፍኣ ከመ ዐጽቅ ይቡስ ወያስተጋብእዎ ወያውዕይዎ በእሳት።
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.
15:7
ἐὰν μείνητε ἐν ἐμοὶ καὶ τὰ ῥήματά μου ἐν ὑμῖν μείνῃ, ὃ ἐὰν θέλητε αἰτήσασθε, καὶ γενήσεται ὑμῖν.
Si manseritis in me, et verba mea in vobis manserint, quodcumque volueritis petetis, et fiet vobis.
ወእመሰ ነበርክሙ ብየ ወነበረ ቃልየ ኀቤክሙ ኵሎ ዘፈቀድክሙ ትስእሉ ወይከውን ለክሙ።
If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.
15:8
ἐν τούτῳ ἐδοξάσθη ὁ πατήρ μου, ἵνα καρπὸν πολὺν φέρητε καὶ γενήσεσθε ἐμοὶ μαθηταί.
In hoc clarificatus est Pater meus, ut fructum plurimum afferatis, et efficiamini mei discipuli.
ወበዝንቱ ይሴባሕ አቡየ እምከመ ብዙኀ ፍሬ ትፈርዩ ወትከውኑኒ አርዳእየ።
“In this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; and so you will be my disciples.
15:9
καθὼς ἠγάπησέν με ὁ πατήρ, κἀγὼ ἠγάπησα ὑμᾶς· μείνατε ἐν τῇ ἀγάπῃ τῇ ἐμῇ.
Sicut dilexit me Pater, et ego dilexi vos. Manete in dilectione mea.
ወበከመ አፍቀረኒ አብ ከማሁ አነሂ አፍቀርኩክሙ ንበሩ በፍቅረ ዚኣየ።
Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love.
15:10
ἐὰν τὰς ἐντολάς μου τηρήσητε, μενεῖτε ἐν τῇ ἀγάπῃ μου, καθὼς κἀγὼ τοῦ πατρός μου τὰς ἐντολὰς τετήρηκα καὶ μένω αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ ἀγάπῃ.
Si praecepta mea servaveritis, manebitis in dilectione mea, sicut et ego Patris mei praecepta servavi, et maneo in ejus dilectione.

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.
15:11
ταῦτα λελάληκα ὑμῖν ἵνα ἡ χαρὰ ἡ ἐμὴ ἐν ὑμῖν ᾖ καὶ ἡ χαρὰ ὑμῶν πληρωθῇ.
Haec locutus sum vobis : ut gaudium meum in vobis sit, et gaudium vestrum impleatur.
ወነገርኩክሙ ዘንተ ከመ የሀሉ ልብየ ወፍሥሓየ ወፍቅርየ ኀቤክሙ ከመ ፍጹመ ይኩን ፍሥሓክሙ።
I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be made full.
15:12
αὕτη ἐστὶν ἡ ἐντολὴ ἡ ἐμή, ἵνα ἀγαπᾶτε ἀλλήλους καθὼς ἠγάπησα ὑμᾶς·
Hoc est praeceptum meum, ut diligatis invicem, sicut dilexi vos.
ወዛቲ ይእቲ ትእዛዘ እንቲኣየ ከመ ትትፋቀሩ በበይናቲክሙ በከመ አነ አፍቀርኩክሙ።
“This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.
15:13
μείζονα ταύτης ἀγάπην οὐδεὶς ἔχει ἵνα τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ θῇ ὑπὲρ τῶν φίλων αὐτοῦ.
Majorem hac dilectionem nemo habet, ut animam suam ponat quis pro amicis suis.
አልቦ ዘየዐቢ ወይኄይስ እምዝ ፍቅር ከመ ብእሲ ዘይሜጡ ነፍሶ ቤዛ ነፍሰ ቢጹ።
Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
15:14
ὑμεῖς φίλοι μού ἐστε, ἐὰν ποιῆτε ἃ ἐγὼ ἐντέλλομαι ὑμῖν.
Vos amici mei estis, si feceritis quae ego praecipio vobis.
አንትሙሰኬ አዕርክትየ አንትሙ እምከመ ገበርክሙ ኵሎ ዘአዘዝኩክሙ።
You are my friends if you do whatever I command you.
15:15
οὐκέτι λέγω ὑμᾶς δούλους, ὅτι ὁ δοῦλος οὐκ οἶδεν τί ποιεῖ αὐτοῦ ὁ κύριος· ὑμᾶς δὲ εἴρηκα φίλους, ὅτι πάντα ἃ ἤκουσα παρὰ τοῦ πατρός μου ἐγνώρισα ὑμῖν.
Jam non dicam vos servos : quia servus nescit quid faciat dominus ejus. Vos autem dixi amicos : quia omnia quaecumque audivi a Patre meo, nota feci vobis.
ኢይብለክሙ እንከ አግብርትየ አላ አዕርክትየ አንትሙ እስመ ገብርሰ ኢየአምር ዘይሬስዮ እግዚኡ ወለክሙሰ አዕርክትየ እብለክሙ እስመ ኵሎ ዘሰማዕኩ በኀበ አቡየ ነገርኩክሙ።
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.
15:16
οὐχ ὑμεῖς με ἐξελέξασθε, ἀλλ’ ἐγὼ ἐξελεξάμην ὑμᾶς καὶ ἔθηκα ὑμᾶς ἵνα ὑμεῖς ὑπάγητε καὶ καρπὸν φέρητε καὶ ὁ καρπὸς ὑμῶν μένῃ, ἵνα ὅ τι ἂν αἰτήσητε τὸν πατέρα ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί μου δῷ ὑμῖν.
Non vos me elegistis, sed ego elegi vos, et posui vos ut eatis, et fructum afferatis, et fructus vester maneat : ut quodcumque petieritis Patrem in nomine meo, det vobis.
አኮ አንትሙ ዘኀረይክሙኒ ወሤምክሙኒ አላ አነ ኀረይኩክሙ ወሤምኩክሙ ወእሬስየክሙ ከመ ትሑሩ ወፍሬ ትፍረዩ ወውእቱ ፍሬክሙ ይነብር ለዓለም ከመ እመቦ ዘሰአልክምዎ ለአብ በስምየ ኵሎ ይሁበክሙ።
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.
15:17
ταῦτα ἐντέλλομαι ὑμῖν, ἵνα ἀγαπᾶτε ἀλλήλους.
Haec mando vobis : ut diligatis invicem.
ወዘንተ እኤዝዘክሙ ከመ ትትፋቀሩ በበይናቲክሙ።
“I command these things to you, that you may love one another.
15:18
Εἰ ὁ κόσμος ὑμᾶς μισεῖ, γινώσκετε ὅτι ἐμὲ πρῶτον μεμίσηκεν.
Si mundus vos odit, scitote quia me priorem vobis odio habuit.
እመሂ ዓለም ጸልአክሙ አእምሩ ከመ ኪያየ ቀደመ ጸሊአ።
If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.
15:19
εἰ ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου ἦτε, ὁ κόσμος ἂν τὸ ἴδιον ἐφίλει· ὅτι δὲ ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου οὐκ ἐστέ, ἀλλ’ ἐγὼ ἐξελεξάμην ὑμᾶς ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου, διὰ τοῦτο μισεῖ ὑμᾶς ὁ κόσμος.
Si de mundo fuissetis, mundus quod suum erat diligeret : quia vero de mundo non estis, sed ego elegi vos de mundo, propterea odit vos mundus.
ሶበሰ እምዓለም አንትሙ እምአፍቀረክሙ ዓለም እስመ ዓለም ያፈቅር እሊኣሁ ወባሕቱ እስመ ኢኮንክሙ እምዓለም አላ አነ ኀረይኩክሙ እምውስተ ዓለም ወበእንተ ዝንቱ ይጸልአክሙ ዓለም።
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.
15:20
μνημονεύετε τοῦ λόγου οὗ ἐγὼ εἶπον ὑμῖν· οὐκ ἔστιν δοῦλος μείζων τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ. εἰ ἐμὲ ἐδίωξαν, καὶ ὑμᾶς διώξουσιν· εἰ τὸν λόγον μου ἐτήρησαν, καὶ τὸν ὑμέτερον τηρήσουσιν.
Mementote sermonis mei, quem ego dixi vobis : non est servus major domino suo. Si me persecuti sunt, et vos persequentur ; si sermonem meum servaverunt, et vestrum servabunt.

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.
15:21
ἀλλὰ ταῦτα πάντα ποιήσουσιν εἰς ὑμᾶς διὰ τὸ ὄνομά μου, ὅτι οὐκ οἴδασιν τὸν πέμψαντά με.
Sed haec omnia facient vobis propter nomen meum : quia nesciunt eum qui misit me.
ወባሕቱ ዘንተ ኵሎ ይገብሩ ላዕሌክሙ በእንተ ስምየ እስመ ኢየአምርዎ ለዘፈነወኒ።
But they will do all these things to you for my name’s sake, because they don’t know him who sent me.
15:22
εἰ μὴ ἦλθον καὶ ἐλάλησα αὐτοῖς, ἁμαρτίαν οὐκ εἴχοσαν· νῦν δὲ πρόφασιν οὐκ ἔχουσιν περὶ τῆς ἁμαρτίας αὐτῶν.
Si non venissem, et locutus fuissem eis, peccatum non haberent : nunc autem excusationem non habent de peccato suo.

If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.
15:23
ὁ ἐμὲ μισῶν καὶ τὸν πατέρα μου μισεῖ.
Qui me odit, et Patrem meum odit.
ዘጸልአ ኪያየ ጸልኦ ለአቡየ ወሶበ ኢገበርኩ ሎሙ ግብረ ዘባዕድ ኢገብሮ እምኢኮኖሙ ጌጋየ።
He who hates me, hates my Father also.
15:24
εἰ τὰ ἔργα μὴ ἐποίησα ἐν αὐτοῖς ἃ οὐδεὶς ἄλλος ἐποίησεν, ἁμαρτίαν οὐκ εἴχοσαν· νῦν δὲ καὶ ἑωράκασιν καὶ μεμισήκασιν καὶ ἐμὲ καὶ τὸν πατέρα μου.
Si opera non fecissem in eis quae nemo alius fecit, peccatum non haberent : nunc autem et viderunt, et oderunt et me, et Patrem meum.
ወይእዜሰ ባሕቱ ርእዩኒሂ ወጸልኡኒሂ ኪያየሂ ወአቡየሂ።
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.
15:25
ἀλλ’ ἵνα πληρωθῇ ὁ λόγος ὁ ἐν τῷ νόμῳ αὐτῶν γεγραμμένος ὅτι ἐμίσησάν με δωρεάν.
Sed ut adimpleatur sermo, qui in lege eorum scriptus est : Quia odio habuerunt me gratis.
ወባሕቱ ከመ ይብጻሕ ቃል ዘጽሑፍ ውስተ ኦሪቶሙ ዘይቤ ጸልኡኒ በከንቱ።
But this happened so that the word may be fulfilled which was written in their law, ‘They hated me without a cause.’
15:26
ὅταν ἔλθῃ ὁ παράκλητος ὃν ἐγὼ πέμψω ὑμῖν παρὰ τοῦ πατρός, τὸ πνεῦμα τῆς ἀληθείας ὃ παρὰ τοῦ πατρὸς ἐκπορεύεται, ἐκεῖνος μαρτυρήσει περὶ ἐμοῦ·
Cum autem venerit Paraclitus, quem ego mittam vobis a Patre, Spiritum veritatis, qui a Patre procedit, ille testimonium perhibebit de me ;

“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.
15:27
καὶ ὑμεῖς δὲ μαρτυρεῖτε, ὅτι ἀπ’ ἀρχῆς μετ’ ἐμοῦ ἐστε.
et vos testimonium perhibebitis, quia ab initio mecum estis.
ወአንትሙሂ ሰማዕትየ እስመ እምትካት ሀለውክሙ ምስሌየ።
You will also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
