1“Ko au ko e vaine moʻoni, pea ko ʻeku Tamai ko e tauhi ngoue ia.
1I am the true vine; and my Father is the husbandman.
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.
2Every branch in me, that beareth not fruit, he will take away: and every one that beareth fruit, he will purge it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
3Kuo mou maʻa eni, ʻi he lea kuo u lea kiate kimoutolu.
3Now you are clean by reason of the word, which 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.
4Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abide in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide 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: you the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for without 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 any one abide not in me, he shall be cast forth as a branch, and shall wither, and they shall gather him up, and case him into the fire, and be burneth.
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 abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask whatever you will, and it shall be done unto 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.
8In this is my Father glorified; that you bring forth very much fruit, and become my disciples.
9Hangē ko e ʻofa ʻae Tamai kiate au, kuo pehē ʻeku ʻofa kiate kimoutolu: mou nofomaʻu ʻi heʻeku ʻofa.
9As the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you.
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 shall abide in my love; as I also have kept my Father’s commandments, and do abide 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.
11These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be filled.
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 than this no man hath, that a man 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 the things that 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.
15I will not now call you servants: for the servant knoweth not what his lord doth. But I have called you friends: because all things whatsoever I have heard of 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 have not chosen me: but I have chosen you; and have appointed you, that you should go, and should bring forth fruit; and your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
17Ko e meʻa ni ʻoku ou fekau kiate kimoutolu, ke mou feʻofaʻaki kiate kimoutolu.
17These things I command you, that 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 hate you, know ye, that it hath hated me before you.
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 had been of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
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 my word that I said to you: The servant is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you: if they have kept my word, they will keep yours also.
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 all these things they will do to you for my name’s sake: because they know not him 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 have sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.
23Ko ia ʻoku fehiʻa kiate au, ʻoku fehiʻa ki heʻeku Tamai foki.
23He that hateth me, hateth my Father also.
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 other man hath done, they would not have sin; but now they have both 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 that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law: They hated me without cause.
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:
26But when the Paraclete cometh, whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceedeth from the Father, he shall give testimony of me.
27Pea ʻe fakamoʻoni mo kimoutolu foki, koeʻuhi naʻa mou ʻiate au talu mei he kamataʻanga.
27And you shall give testimony, because you are with me from the beginning.
