Sione 15
1“I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser.
1“KO au ko e vaine moʻoni, pea ko ʻeku Tamai ko e tauhi ngoue ia.
2Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.
2Ko e vaʻa kotoa pē ʻiate au ʻoku ʻikai fua, ʻoku ne tutuʻu ia: pea ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku fua, ʻoku ne ʻauhani ia, ke ʻāsili ai hono fua.
3Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you.
3Kuo mou maʻa eni, ʻi he lea kuo u lea kiate kimoutolu.
4Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.
4Nofo ʻiate au, mo au ʻiate kimoutolu. Hangē ʻoku ʻikai faʻa fua ʻae vaʻa ʻiate ia pē, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai nofo ʻi he vaine; pea ʻe pehē foki ʻakimoutolu, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou nofo ʻiate au.
5I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.
5“Ko au ko e vaine, ko e ngaahi vaʻa ʻakimoutolu: ko ia ʻoku nofo ʻiate au, mo au ʻiate ia, ko ia ia ʻe fua lahi: ka māvae mo au, ʻe ʻikai te mou faʻa fai ha meʻa.
6If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned.
6Kapau ʻe ʻikai nofo ha tangata ʻiate au, ʻoku liʻaki ia ʻo hangē ko e vaʻa ʻoku mate; pea tānaki ia ʻe he kakai, ʻo lī ki he afi, pea vela ai ia.
7If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
7Kapau ʻoku mou nofo ʻiate au, pea nofo ʻeku ngaahi lea ʻiate kimoutolu, te mou kole ʻaia te mou loto ki ai, pea ʻe fai ia kiate kimoutolu.
8By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples.
8ʻI he meʻa ni ʻe ongoongolelei ai ʻa ʻeku Tamai, koeʻuhi ke mou fua lahi; ko ia te mou hoko ai ko ʻeku kau ākonga.
9As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love.
9Hangē ko e ʻofa ʻae Tamai kiate au, kuo pehē ʻeku ʻofa kiate kimoutolu: mou nofomaʻu ʻi heʻeku ʻofa.
10If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love.
10Kapau ʻoku mou fai ʻeku ngaahi fekau, te mou nofo ʻi heʻeku ʻofa; ʻo hangē ko ʻeku fai ʻae ngaahi fekau ʻa ʻeku Tamai, pea u nofo ʻi heʻene ʻofa.
11These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.
11“Kuo u lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ke u maʻu maʻuaipē ʻae fiefia ʻiate kimoutolu, pea ke kakato ai hoʻomou fiefia.
12“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
12Ko ʻeku fekau eni, Ke mou feʻofaʻaki kiate kimoutolu, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku ʻofa kiate kimoutolu.
13Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
13ʻOku ʻikai ha tangata ʻe lahi hake ʻene ʻofa ʻi he meʻa ni, ke ne foaki ʻene moʻui koeʻuhi ko hono kāinga.
14You are my friends if you do what I command you.
14Ko hoku kāinga ʻakimoutolu, ʻo kapau ʻoku mou fai kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau kiate kimoutolu.
15No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.
15ʻOku ngata mei heni, ʻoku ʻikai te u ui ʻakimoutolu ko e kau tamaioʻeiki; he ʻoku ʻikai ʻilo ʻe he tamaioʻeiki ʻaia ʻoku fai ʻe hono ʻeiki: ka kuo u ui ʻakimoutolu ko e kāinga; he ko e meʻa kotoa pē kuo u fanongo mei heʻeku Tamai, kuo u fakaʻilo ia kiate kimoutolu.
16You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.
16Naʻe ʻikai te mou fili au, ka kuo u fili ʻakimoutolu, ʻo tuʻutuʻuni ʻakimoutolu, ke mou ʻalu atu, ʻo maʻu ʻae fua, pea ke tolonga homou fua: koeʻuhi ko ia kotoa pē te mou kole ki he Tamai ʻi hoku huafa, ke ne foaki kiate kimoutolu.
17These things I command you, so that you will love one another.
17Ko e meʻa ni ʻoku ou fekau kiate kimoutolu, ke mou feʻofaʻaki kiate kimoutolu.
18“If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you.
18“Kapau ʻoku fehiʻa ʻa māmani kiate kimoutolu, ʻoku mou ʻilo naʻe tomuʻa fehiʻa ia kiate au ʻiate kimoutolu.
19If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
19Ka ne ʻo māmani ʻakimoutolu, ʻe ʻofa ʻa māmani ki he meʻa ʻaʻana: ka koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ʻo māmani ʻakimoutolu, ka kuo u fili ʻakimoutolu mei māmani, ko ia ʻoku fehiʻa ai ʻa māmani kiate kimoutolu.
20Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.
20Manatu ki he lahi ʻae tamaioʻeiki ki heʻene ʻeiki.’ Kapau kuo nau fakatangaʻi au, te nau fakatangaʻi ʻakimoutolu foki; kapau kuo nau fai ʻeku lea, te nau fai ʻa e lea ʻamoutolu foki.
21But all these things they will do to you on account of my name, because they do not know him who sent me.
21Ka te nau fai eni kotoa pē kiate kimoutolu koeʻuhi ko hoku huafa, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai te nau ʻilo ʻaia naʻa ne fekauʻi au.
22If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have been guilty of sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin.
22Ka ne ʻikai te u haʻu, ʻo lea kiate kinautolu, pehē, kuo ʻikai haʻanau angahala: ka ko eni, ʻoku ʻikai hano kofu ki heʻenau angahala.
23Whoever hates me hates my Father also.
23Ko ia ʻoku fehiʻa kiate au, ʻoku fehiʻa ki heʻeku Tamai foki.
24If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin, but now they have seen and hated both me and my Father.
24Ka ne ʻikai te u fai ʻae ngaahi ngāue ai fai ʻe ha tokotaha, pehē, kuo ʻikai ni, kuo nau mamata mo fehiʻa kiate au mo ʻeku Tamai.
25But the word that is written in their Law must be fulfilled: ‘They hated me without a cause.’
25Ka ʻoku nau fakamoʻoni ʻae lea kuo tohi ʻi heʻenau fono, ‘Naʻa nau fehiʻa noa pē kiate au.’
26“But when the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness about me.
26“Ka ʻoka haʻu ʻae Fakafiemālie, ʻaia te u fekau kiate kimoutolu mei he Tamai, ko e Laumālie ʻoe moʻoni, ʻoku ʻalu atu mei he Tamai, te ne fakamoʻoniʻi au:
27And you also will bear witness, because you have been with me from the beginning.
27Pea ʻe fakamoʻoni mo kimoutolu foki, koeʻuhi naʻa mou ʻiate au talu mei he kamataʻanga.
