John 15

1 “I am the true vine, and My Father is the keeper of the vineyard.

1 «أَنَا ٱلْكَرْمَةُ ٱلْحَقِيقِيَّةُ وَأَبِي ٱلْكَرَّامُ.

2 He cuts off every branch in Me that bears no fruit, and every branch that does bear fruit, He prunes to make it even more fruitful.

2 كُلُّ غُصْنٍ فِيَّ لَا يَأْتِي بِثَمَرٍ يَنْزِعُهُ، وَكُلُّ مَا يَأْتِي بِثَمَرٍ يُنَقِّيهِ لِيَأْتِيَ بِثَمَرٍ أَكْثَرَ.

3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.

3 أَنْتُمُ ٱلْآنَ أَنْقِيَاءُ لِسَبَبِ ٱلْكَلَامِ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمْتُكُمْ بِهِ.

4 Remain in Me, and I will remain in you. Just as no branch can bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in Me.

4 اُثْبُتُوا فِيَّ وَأَنَا فِيكُمْ. كَمَا أَنَّ ٱلْغُصْنَ لَا يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ بِثَمَرٍ مِنْ ذَاتِهِ إِنْ لَمْ يَثْبُتْ فِي ٱلْكَرْمَةِ، كَذَلِكَ أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا إِنْ لَمْ تَثْبُتُوا فِيَّ.

5 I am the vine and you are the branches. The one who remains in Me, and I in him, will bear much fruit. For apart from Me you can do nothing.

5 أَنَا ٱلْكَرْمَةُ وَأَنْتُمُ ٱلْأَغْصَانُ. ٱلَّذِي يَثْبُتُ فِيَّ وَأَنَا فِيهِ هَذَا يَأْتِي بِثَمَرٍ كَثِيرٍ، لِأَنَّكُمْ بِدُونِي لَا تَقْدِرُونَ أَنْ تَفْعَلُوا شَيْئًا.

6 If anyone does not remain in Me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers. Such branches are gathered up, thrown into the fire, and burned.

6 إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ لَا يَثْبُتُ فِيَّ يُطْرَحُ خَارِجًا كَٱلْغُصْنِ، فَيَجِفُّ وَيَجْمَعُونَهُ وَيَطْرَحُونَهُ فِي ٱلنَّارِ، فَيَحْتَرِقُ.

7 If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

7 إِنْ ثَبَتُّمْ فِيَّ وَثَبَتَ كَلَامِي فِيكُمْ تَطْلُبُونَ مَا تُرِيدُونَ فَيَكُونُ لَكُمْ.

8 This is to My Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, proving yourselves to be My disciples.

8 بِهَذَا يَتَمَجَّدُ أَبِي: أَنْ تَأْتُوا بِثَمَرٍ كَثِيرٍ فَتَكُونُونَ تَلَامِيذِي.

9 As the Father has loved Me, so have I loved you. Remain in My love.

9 كَمَا أَحَبَّنِي ٱلْآبُ كَذَلِكَ أَحْبَبْتُكُمْ أَنَا. اُثْبُتُوا فِي مَحَبَّتِي.

10 If you keep My commandments, you will remain in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and remain in His love.

10 إِنْ حَفِظْتُمْ وَصَايَايَ تَثْبُتُونَ فِي مَحَبَّتِي، كَمَا أَنِّي أَنَا قَدْ حَفِظْتُ وَصَايَا أَبِي وَأَثْبُتُ فِي مَحَبَّتِهِ.

11 I have told you these things so that My joy may be in you and your joy may be complete.

11 كَلَّمْتُكُمْ بِهَذَا لِكَيْ يَثْبُتَ فَرَحِي فِيكُمْ وَيُكْمَلَ فَرَحُكُمْ.

12 This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.

12 «هَذِهِ هِيَ وَصِيَّتِي أَنْ تُحِبُّوا بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا كَمَا أَحْبَبْتُكُمْ.

13 Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.

13 لَيْسَ لِأَحَدٍ حُبٌّ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ هَذَا: أَنْ يَضَعَ أَحَدٌ نَفْسَهُ لِأَجْلِ أَحِبَّائِهِ.

14 You are My friends if you do what I command you.

14 أَنْتُمْ أَحِبَّائِي إِنْ فَعَلْتُمْ مَا أُوصِيكُمْ بِهِ.

15 No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not understand what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because everything I have learned from My Father I have made known to you.

15 لَا أَعُودُ أُسَمِّيكُمْ عَبِيدًا، لِأَنَّ ٱلْعَبْدَ لَا يَعْلَمُ مَا يَعْمَلُ سَيِّدُهُ، لَكِنِّي قَدْ سَمَّيْتُكُمْ أَحِبَّاءَ لِأَنِّي أَعْلَمْتُكُمْ بِكُلِّ مَا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ أَبِي.

16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will remain—so that whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you.

16 لَيْسَ أَنْتُمُ ٱخْتَرْتُمُونِي بَلْ أَنَا ٱخْتَرْتُكُمْ، وَأَقَمْتُكُمْ لِتَذْهَبُوا وَتَأْتُوا بِثَمَرٍ، وَيَدُومَ ثَمَرُكُمْ، لِكَيْ يُعْطِيَكُمُ ٱلْآبُ كُلَّ مَا طَلَبْتُمْ بِٱسْمِي.

17 This is My command to you: Love one another.

17 بِهَذَا أُوصِيكُمْ حَتَّى تُحِبُّوا بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا.

18 If the world hates you, understand that it hated Me first.

18 «إِنْ كَانَ ٱلْعَالَمُ يُبْغِضُكُمْ فَٱعْلَمُوا أَنَّهُ قَدْ أَبْغَضَنِي قَبْلَكُمْ.

19 If you were of the world, it would love you as its own. Instead, the world hates you, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world.

19 لَوْ كُنْتُمْ مِنَ ٱلْعَالَمِ لَكَانَ ٱلْعَالَمُ يُحِبُّ خَاصَّتَهُ. وَلَكِنْ لِأَنَّكُمْ لَسْتُمْ مِنَ ٱلْعَالَمِ، بَلْ أَنَا ٱخْتَرْتُكُمْ مِنَ ٱلْعَالَمِ، لِذَلِكَ يُبْغِضُكُمُ ٱلْعَالَمُ.

20 Remember the word that I spoke to you: ‘No servant is greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will persecute you as well; if they kept My word, they will keep yours as well.

20 اُذْكُرُوا ٱلْكَلَامَ ٱلَّذِي قُلْتُهُ لَكُمْ: لَيْسَ عَبْدٌ أَعْظَمَ مِنْ سَيِّدِهِ. إِنْ كَانُوا قَدِ ٱضْطَهَدُونِي فَسَيَضْطَهِدُونَكُمْ، وَإِنْ كَانُوا قَدْ حَفِظُوا كَلَامِي فَسَيَحْفَظُونَ كَلَامَكُمْ.

21 But they will treat you like this because of My name, since they do not know the One who sent Me.

21 لَكِنَّهُمْ إِنَّمَا يَفْعَلُونَ بِكُمْ هَذَا كُلَّهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱسْمِي، لِأَنَّهُمْ لَا يَعْرِفُونَ ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي.

22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin.

22 لَوْ لَمْ أَكُنْ قَدْ جِئْتُ وَكَلَّمْتُهُمْ، لَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُمْ خَطِيَّةٌ، وَأَمَّا ٱلْآنَ فَلَيْسَ لَهُمْ عُذْرٌ فِي خَطِيَّتِهِمْ.

23 Whoever hates Me hates My Father as well.

23 اَلَّذِي يُبْغِضُنِي يُبْغِضُ أَبِي أَيْضًا.

24 If 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.

24 لَوْ لَمْ أَكُنْ قَدْ عَمِلْتُ بَيْنَهُمْ أَعْمَالًا لَمْ يَعْمَلْهَا أَحَدٌ غَيْرِي، لَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُمْ خَطِيَّةٌ، وَأَمَّا ٱلْآنَ فَقَدْ رَأَوْا وَأَبْغَضُونِي أَنَا وَأَبِي.

25 But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: ‘They hated Me without reason.’

25 لَكِنْ لِكَيْ تَتِمَّ ٱلْكَلِمَةُ ٱلْمَكْتُوبَةُ فِي نَامُوسِهِمْ: إِنَّهُمْ أَبْغَضُونِي بِلَا سَبَبٍ.

26 When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father—He will testify about Me.

26 «وَمَتَى جَاءَ ٱلْمُعَزِّي ٱلَّذِي سَأُرْسِلُهُ أَنَا إِلَيْكُمْ مِنَ ٱلْآبِ، رُوحُ ٱلْحَقِّ، ٱلَّذِي مِنْ عِنْدِ ٱلْآبِ يَنْبَثِقُ، فَهُوَ يَشْهَدُ لِي.

27 And you also must testify, because you have been with Me from the beginning.

27 وَتَشْهَدُونَ أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا لِأَنَّكُمْ مَعِي مِنَ ٱلِٱبْتِدَاءِ.
