約翰福音 15
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
真葡萄樹
15 耶穌說：「我是真葡萄樹，我父是栽培的人。 2 屬於我的枝子如果不結果子，祂就把它剪掉；如果結果子，祂便修剪它，讓它結更多的果子。 3 我對你們所講的道已經使你們潔淨了。 4 你們要常在我裡面，我就常在你們裡面。枝子若離開葡萄樹，就不能結果子。同樣，你們若不常在我裡面，也不能結果子。
5 「我是葡萄樹，你們是枝子。常在我裡面的，我也常在他裡面，他就會多結果子，因為你們離開了我什麼都不能做。 6 不常在我裡面的人就像丟在外面枯乾的枝子，最後只有被人拾起來丟在火裡燒掉。 7 如果你們常在我裡面，我的話也常在你們裡面，無論你們求什麼，都會得到應允。 8 你們多結果子，證明自己是我的門徒，就會給我父帶來榮耀。 9 父怎樣愛我，我也怎樣愛你們。你們要常在我的愛中。 10 你們若遵守我的命令，就必常在我的愛中，正如我遵守了父的命令，常在父的愛中一樣。
11 「我把這些事告訴你們，是要叫你們心裡有我的喜樂，讓你們的喜樂滿溢。 12 你們要彼此相愛，像我愛你們一樣，這就是我的命令。 13 為朋友捨命可以說是人間最偉大的愛了。 14 你們如果照我的吩咐去做，就是我的朋友。 15 我不再稱你們為奴僕，因為奴僕不知道主人的事。我稱你們為朋友，因為我把從父那裡聽見的一切都告訴了你們。 16 不是你們揀選了我，而是我揀選了你們，並且派你們出去結永存的果子。這樣，你們奉我的名無論向父求什麼，祂都會賜給你們。 17 我把這些事吩咐你們，是要叫你們彼此相愛。
被世人憎惡
18 「如果世人恨你們，要知道，他們恨你們以前已經恨我了。 19 如果你們屬於這個世界，世人一定會愛你們。可是你們不屬於這世界，我已經把你們揀選出來，因此世人恨你們。 20 你們要記住我說的話，『奴僕不能大過主人。』他們若迫害我，也必迫害你們；他們若遵行我的話，也必遵行你們的話。 21 世人將因為我的名而這樣對待你們，因為他們不認識差我來的那位。 22 我如果沒有來教導他們，他們就沒有罪了，但現在他們的罪無可推諉。 23 恨我的，也恨我的父。 24 我如果沒有在他們當中行過空前的神蹟，他們就沒有罪了。然而，他們親眼看見了，竟然還恨我和我的父。 25 這是要應驗他們律法書上的話，『他們無故地恨我。』
26 「我要從父那裡為你們差護慰者來，祂就是從父而來的真理之靈。祂來了要為我做見證。 27 你們也要為我做見證，因為你們從開始就與我在一起。
Yochanan 15
Orthodox Jewish Bible
15 I am HaGefen HaAmittit (the true vine)[TEHILLIM 80:8-20; YESHAYAH 5:1-7; YECHEZKEL 19:10] and HaAv of me is the Korem (vineyard proprietor).
2 Every sarig (shoot, branch) in me not bearing p’ri [TEHILLIM 92:14] He takes it away, and every sarig bearing p’ri He prunes that it may bear much p’ri.
3 You are already metoharim (clean) because of the dvar which I have spoken to you.
4 Remain in me and I in you. As the sarig is not able to bear p’ri from itself, unless it remains on the gefen (vine), so neither are you, unless you remain in me.
5 Ani Hu (I am) HaGefen; you are the sarigim (branches). The one remaining in me and I in him, this one bears much p’ri, because apart from me you are not able to do anything.
6 Unless someone remains in me, he is cast out as the sarig and is dried up and they gather them, and into the Eish they throw them, and they are burned. [YECHEZKEL 15:1-8; 19:10]
7 If you remain in me and the dvarim of me remain in you, whatever you want, ask, and it will be done for you!
8 By this HaAv of me was given kavod, that much p’ri you bear, and so be my talmidim.
9 As HaAv has ahavah for me, so I have ahavah for you. Remain in my ahavah [see Yd verse 21].
10 If you are shomer of my mitzvot, you will remain in my ahavah, as I of the mitzvot of HaAv of me have been shomer, and I remain in His ahavah.
11 These things I have spoken to you that the simcha of me may be in you and the simcha of you may be made shleimah.
12 This is my mitzvah for you, that you have ahavah (agape) one for the other, as I have ahavah (agape) for you.
13 Ahavah (agape) gedolah than this no one has, that someone lay down his neshamah for his chaverim [BERESHIS 44:33].
14 You are my chaverim, if you are shomer oner my mitzvot. [IYOV 16:20; MISHLE 18:24]
15 No longer do I call you avadim, because the eved does not have da’as of what his Adon is doing. But you I have called chaverim, because all things which I heard from HaAv of me, of all these things I gave you da’as. [SHEMOT 33:11]
16 It was not that you chose me, but I chose you, and have given you s’michah that you go and bear p’ri and the p’ri of you remain, that whatever you ask HaAv b’Shem of me (Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach), HaAv may give it to you.
17 I am giving you these mitzvot, that you have ahavah (agape) one for the other.
18 If the Olam Hazeh has sin’as chinom (hatred without cause) for you, [YESHAYAH 66:5] be aware it has had sin’as chinom for me before you.
19 If you were of the Olam Hazeh, the Olam Hazeh would have had ahavah for its own. But because from the Olam Hazeh you are not, but I chose you out of the Olam Hazeh, therefore the Olam Hazeh has sin’as chinom for you [1Yn 4:5; Yn 17:14].
20 Put in zikaron (remembrance) the dvar which I told you, An eved is not gadol (greater) than his Adon. If they brought redifah (persecution) on me, they will also bring redifah on you. If over my dvar they were shomer, also over yours they will be shomer.
21 But all these things they will do to you on account of the Shem of me [YESHAYAH 66:5], because they do not have da’as of the One having sent me.
22 If I did not come and speak to them, [YECHEZKEL 2:5] they would not have chet; but now they have no ptur (excuse) for their chet.
23 The one having sin’as chinom (hatred without cause) for me (Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach) has sin’as chinom for HaAv of me.
24 If I did not do pe’ulot among them which no other man did, they would not have chet; but now they have beheld and they have had sin’as chinom for both me and HaAv of me.
25 But this was that the dvar having been written in their Torah might be fulfilled, SONE’AI CHINOM ATZMU (They are many hating me without cause). [TEHILLIM 69:4 5; 35:19; 109:3]
26 But when the Melitz Yosher (Praklit, Advocate, Counselor, Helper in Court) comes, whom I will send to you from HaAv, the Ruach Hakodesh, the Ruach HaEmes, who proceeds from HaAv, that one will gives solemn edut (testimony) about me.
27 And you [Shlichim] will give solemn edut (testimony) also, because from the beginning you are with me.
