1“Ko au ko e vaine moʻoni, pea ko ʻeku Tamai ko e tauhi ngoue ia.
1“I am the true vine, and My Father is the keeper of the vineyard.
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.
2He 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.
3Kuo mou maʻa eni, ʻi he lea kuo u lea kiate kimoutolu.
3You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.
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.
4Remain 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.
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.
5I 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.
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.
6If 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.
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.
7If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
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.
8This is to My Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, proving yourselves to be My disciples.
9Hangē ko e ʻofa ʻae Tamai kiate au, kuo pehē ʻeku ʻofa kiate kimoutolu: mou nofomaʻu ʻi heʻeku ʻofa.
9As the Father has loved Me, so have I loved you. Remain in My 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.
10If you keep My commandments, you will remain in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and remain in His love.
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.
11I have told you these things so that My joy may be in you and your joy may be complete.
12Ko ʻeku fekau eni, Ke mou feʻofaʻaki kiate kimoutolu, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku ʻofa kiate kimoutolu.
12This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
13ʻOku ʻikai ha tangata ʻe lahi hake ʻene ʻofa ʻi he meʻa ni, ke ne foaki ʻene moʻui koeʻuhi ko hono kāinga.
13Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
14Ko hoku kāinga ʻakimoutolu, ʻo kapau ʻoku mou fai kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau kiate kimoutolu.
14You are My friends if you do what I command 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.
15No 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.
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.
16You 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.
17Ko e meʻa ni ʻoku ou fekau kiate kimoutolu, ke mou feʻofaʻaki kiate kimoutolu.
17This is My command to you: Love one another.
18“Kapau ʻoku fehiʻa ʻa māmani kiate kimoutolu, ʻoku mou ʻilo naʻe tomuʻa fehiʻa ia kiate au ʻiate kimoutolu.
18If the world hates you, understand that it hated Me first.
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.
19If 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.
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.
20Remember 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.
21Ka te nau fai eni kotoa pē kiate kimoutolu koeʻuhi ko hoku huafa, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai te nau ʻilo ʻaia naʻa ne fekauʻi au.
21But they will treat you like this because of My name, since they do not know the One who sent Me.
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.
22If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin.
23Ko ia ʻoku fehiʻa kiate au, ʻoku fehiʻa ki heʻeku Tamai foki.
23Whoever hates Me hates My Father as well.
24Ka ne ʻikai te u fai ʻae ngaahi ngāue ʻiate kinautolu naʻe ʻikai fai ʻe ha tokotaha, pehē , kuo ʻikai haʻanau angahala: ka ko eni, kuo nau mamata mo fehiʻa kiate au mo ʻeku Tamai.
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.
25Ka ʻoku nau fakamoʻoni ʻae lea kuo tohi ʻi heʻenau fono, ‘Naʻa nau fehiʻa noa pē kiate au.’
25But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: ‘They hated Me without reason.’
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:
26When 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.
27Pea ʻe fakamoʻoni mo kimoutolu foki, koeʻuhi naʻa mou ʻiate au talu mei he kamataʻanga.
27And you also must testify, because you have been with Me from the beginning.
