1 K o ahau te waina pono, ko toku Matua te kaimahi.

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

2 K o 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.

every 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 N a kua ma tenei koutou i te kupu i korerotia e ahau ki a koutou.

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

4 K ia 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.

remain 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 K o 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.

`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 K i 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.

if 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 K i 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.

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

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

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

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

10 K i 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.

if 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 K ua 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

15 H eoi 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.

no 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 K ahore 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.

`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 K o aku whakahau enei ki a koutou, kia aroha koutou tetahi ki tetahi.

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

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

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

19 M ehemea 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.

if 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 K ia 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.

`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 O tira 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.

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

22 M e 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.

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

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

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

24 M e 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.

if 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 M a tenei ia ka rite ai te kupu i tuhituhia ki ta ratou ture, Kua kino noa ratou ki ahau.

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

26 O tiia 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:

`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 K o koutou ano hoki hei kaiwhakaatu, no te mea i ahau koutou no te timatanga iho ra ano.

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