1 و َقالَ يَسُوعُ: «أنا الكَرمَةُ الحَقِيْقِيَّةُ وَأبِي الكَرّامُ.

¶ I AM the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

2 و َهُوَ يَقطَعُ كُلَّ غُصْنٍ فِيَّ لا يُنتِجُ ثَمَراً، وَيُنَقِّي كُلَّ غُصْنٍ مُثْمِرٍ لِكَيْ يُنتِجَ ثَمَراً أكثَرَ.

Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he shall take away; and every one that bears fruit, he shall purge that they may bring forth more fruit.

3 أ نتُمِ الآنَ أنقِياءُ بِسَبَبِ التَّعلِيْمِ الَّذِي أعطَيْتُهُ لَكُمْ.

Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

4 ا ثبُتُوا فِيَّ وَأنا سَأثْبُتُ فِيْكُمْ. لا يَسْتَطِيْعُ الغُصْنُ أنْ يُنتِجَ ثَمَراً وَحدَهُ، إلّا إذا ثَبَتَ فِي ساقِ الكَرمَةِ. كَذَلِكَ أنتُمْ لا تَسْتَطِيْعُونَ أنْ تُنتِجُوا ثَمَراً إلّا إذا ثَبَتُّمْ فِيَّ.

Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abides in the vine, no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

5 « أنا الكَرمَةُ، وَأنتُمُ الأغصانُ. فَمَنْ يَثبُتُ فِيَّ وَأثبُتُ أنا فِيْهِ، يُنتِجُ ثَمَراً كَثِيْراً. فَأنتُمْ لا تَستَطِيْعُونَ أنْ تَفعَلُوا شَيْئاً بِدُونِي.

I AM the vine, ye are the branches: he that abides in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit; for without me ye can do nothing.

6 و َمَنْ لا يَثبُتُ فِيَّ، فَإنَّهُ يُرمَى كَالغُصْنِ وَيَيْبَسُ. ثُمَّ تُجمَعُ الأغصانُ اليابِسَةُ وَتُلقَى فِي النّارِ وَتَحتَرِقُ.

He who does not abide in me shall be cast forth as an unsound branch and shall wither, and they are gathered and cast into the fire and are burned.

7 « اثْبُتُوا فِيَّ، وَلْيَثْبُتْ كَلامِي فِيْكُمْ. فَعِندَ ذَلِكَ، اطلُبُوا ما تُرِيْدُونَ وَسَتَنالُونَهُ.

If ye abide in me and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

8 أ نتِجُوا ثَمَراً كَثِيْراً مُبَرهِنِيْنَ أنَّكُمْ تَلامِيْذِي. فَبِهَذا يَتَمَجَّدُ أبِي.

In this is my Father clarified, in that ye bear much fruit; and in this manner ye shall be my disciples.

9 ك َما أحَبَّنِي الآبُ أحبَبْتُكُمْ أنا أيضاً، فَاثْبُتُوا فِي محَبَّتِي.

¶ As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in my love.

10 إ نْ أطَعْتُمْ وَصايايَ سَتَثْبُتُونَ فِي مَحَبَّتِي. فَأنا أيضاً أُطِيْعُ وَصايا الآبِ وَأثبُتُ فِي مَحَبَّتِهِ.

If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love, even as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love.

11 أ قُولُ لَكُمْ هَذِهِ الأُمُورَ لِكَيْ يَثبُتَ فَرَحِي فِيْكُمْ، وَلِكَيْ يَكُونَ فَرَحُكُمْ تامّاً.

These things I have spoken unto you that my joy may abide in you and that your joy might be fulfilled.

12 « وَهَذِهِ هِيَ وَصِيَّتِي لَكُمْ: أحِبُّوا بَعضَكُمْ بَعضاً كَما أحبَبْتُكُمْ أنا.

This is my commandment, That ye love one another as I have loved you.

13 أ عظَمُ مَحَبَّةٍ هِيَ مَحَبَّةُ مَنْ يَضَحِّي بِنَفسِهِ مِنْ أجلِ أحِبّائِهِ.

Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his soul for his friends.

14 و َأنتُمْ أحِبّائِي إنْ أطَعْتُمْ ما أُوصِيْكُمْ بِهِ.

Ye are my friends if ye do whatsoever I command you.

15 ل ا أُسَمِّيْكُمْ عَبِيْداً الآنَ، فَالعَبْدُ لا يَعرِفُ ما الَّذِي يَفعَلُهُ سَيِّدُهُ. بَلْ أُسَمِّيْكُمْ أحِبّاءً، لِأنَّنِي قَدْ أخبَرْتُكُمْ بِكُلِّ ما سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ أبِي.

From now on I do not call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his lord does; but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

16 « لَسْتُمْ أنتُمُ الَّذِيْنَ اختَرتُمُونِي، بَلْ أنا اختَرْتُكُمْ وَعَيَّنْتُكُمْ لِكَيْ تَذْهَبُوا وَتُنتِجُوا ثَمَراً، وَيَدُومَ ثَمَرُكُمْ. حِيْنَئِذٍ يُعطِيْكُمُ الآبُ أيَّ شَيْءٍ تَطلُبُونَهُ باسْمِي.

Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it unto you.

17 ه َذا هُوَ ما أُوصِيْكُمْ بِهِ: أنْ تُحِبُّوا بَعضَكُمْ بَعضاً.» يَسُوعُ يُنَبِّهُ تَلامِيْذَه

This I command you, that ye love one another.

18 و َقالَ يَسُوعُ: «إنْ أبْغَضَكُمِ العالَمُ، فَتَذَكَّرُوا أنَّهُ أبْغَضَني قَبلَكُمْ.

¶ If the world hates you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

19 ل َوْ كُنتُمْ تَنتَمُونَ إلَى العالَمِ، لَكانَ العالَمُ يُحِبُّكُمْ كَما يُحِبُّ أهلَهُ. أمّا أنتُمْ فَلا تَنتَمُونَ إلَى العالَمِ، فَأنا اختَرتُكُمْ مِنَ العالَمِ، لِهَذا يُبْغِضُكُمِ العالَمُ.

If ye were of the world, the world would love its own; but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

20 « تَذَكَّرُوا ما قُلْتُهُ لَكُمْ: ‹ما مِنْ عَبدٍ أعظَمُ مِنْ سَيِّدِهِ.› إنْ أساءَ النّاسُ إلَيَّ، فَسَيُسِيْئُونَ إلَيْكُمْ أيضاً. وَإنْ أطاعُوا تَعلِيْمِي فَسَيُطِيْعُونَ تَعلِيْمَكُمْ أيضاً.

Remember the word that I said unto you, The slave is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my word, they will keep yours also.

21 س َيَفعَلُونَ ذَلِكَ كُلَّهُ بِسَبَبِ اسْمِي، لِأنَّهُمْ لا يَعرِفُونَ ذاكَ الَّذِي أرسَلَنِي.

But they will do all these things unto you for my name’s sake, because they do not know him that sent me.

22 و َلَوْ لَمْ آتِ وَأُكَلِّمْهُمْ، لَما كانُوا مُذْنِبِيْنَ. أمّا الآنَ فَلا عُذْرَ لَهُمْ عَلَى خَطِيَّتِهِمْ.

If I had not come and spoken unto them, they would not have sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.

23 « مَنْ يُبْغِضُني فَهُوَ يُبْغِضُ أبِي أيضاً.

He that hates me hates my Father also.

24 و َلَوْ لَمْ أعمَلْ بَيْنَهُمْ أعمالاً لَمْ يَعمَلْها أحَدٌ قَبلِي، لَما كانَ عَلَيْهِمْ ذَنبٌ.

If I had not done among them works which no other man has done, they would not have sin; but now they have seen them and hate both me and my Father.

25 ل َكِنْ هَذا حَدَثَ لِكَي يَتَحَقَّقَ ما كُتِبَ فِي شَرِيْعَتِهِمْ: ‹أبغَضُونِي بِلا سَبَبٍ.›»

But this comes to pass that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.

26 و َعِندَما يَأْتِي المُعِيْنُ الَّذِي سَأُرسِلُهُ مِنْ عِندِ الآبِ، رُوحُ الحَقِّ الَّذِي يَخرُجُ مِنَ الآبِ، فَهُوَ سَيَشْهَدُ لِي.

¶ But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceeds from the Father, he shall testify of me;

27 و َأنتُمْ أيضاً سَتَشْهَدُونَ لِي، لِأنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ مَعِي مُنذُ البِدايَةِ.

and ye also shall bear witness because ye have been with me from the beginning.
