約翰福音 15

「我是真葡萄樹，我父是栽培的人。

「 wǒ shì zhēn pú táo shù ， wǒ fù shì zāi péi de rén 。

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer.

凡屬我不結果子的枝子，他就剪去；凡結果子的，他就修理乾淨，使枝子結果子更多。

fán shǔ wǒ bù jié guǒ zǐ de zhī zǐ ， tā jiù jiǎn qù ； fán jié guǒ zǐ de ， tā jiù xiū lǐ gān jìng ， shǐ zhī zǐ jié guǒ zǐ gèng duō 。

Every branch in me that doesn’t bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.

現在你們因我講給你們的道，已經乾淨了。

xiàn zài nǐ men yīn wǒ jiǎng gěi nǐ men de dào ， yǐ jīng gān jìng le 。

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

你們要常在我裏面，我也常在你們裏面。枝子若不常在葡萄樹上，自己就不能結果子；你們若不常在我裏面，也是這樣。

nǐ men yào cháng zài wǒ lǐ miàn ， wǒ yě cháng zài nǐ men lǐ miàn 。 zhī zǐ ruò bù cháng zài pú táo shù shàng ， zì jǐ jiù bù néng jié guǒ zǐ ； nǐ men ruò bù cháng zài wǒ lǐ miàn ， yě shì zhè yàng 。

Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch can’t bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me.

我是葡萄樹，你們是枝子。常在我裏面的，我也常在他裏面，這人就多結果子；因為離了我，你們就不能做甚麼。

wǒ shì pú táo shù ， nǐ men shì zhī zǐ 。 cháng zài wǒ lǐ miàn de ， wǒ yě cháng zài tā lǐ miàn ， zhè rén jiù duō jié guǒ zǐ ； yīn wèi lí le wǒ ， nǐ men jiù bù néng zuò shén me 。

I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me and I in him bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

人若不常在我裏面，就像枝子丟在外面枯乾，人拾起來，扔在火裏燒了。

rén ruò bù cháng zài wǒ lǐ miàn ， jiù xiàng zhī zǐ diū zài wài miàn kū gān ， rén shí qǐ lái ， rēng zài huǒ lǐ shāo le 。

If a man doesn’t remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned.

你們若常在我裏面，我的話也常在你們裏面，凡你們所願意的，祈求，就給你們成就。

nǐ men ruò cháng zài wǒ lǐ miàn ， wǒ de huà yě cháng zài nǐ men lǐ miàn ， fán nǐ men suǒ yuàn yì de ， qí qiú ， jiù gěi nǐ men chéng jiù 。

If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.

你們多結果子，我父就因此得榮耀，你們也就是我的門徒了。

nǐ men duō jié guǒ zǐ ， wǒ fù jiù yīn cǐ dé róng yào ， nǐ men yě jiù shì wǒ de mén tú le 。

“In this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; and so you will be my disciples.

我愛你們，正如父愛我一樣；你們要常在我的愛裏。

wǒ ài nǐ men ， zhèng rú fù ài wǒ yí yàng ； nǐ men yào cháng zài wǒ de ài lǐ 。

Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love.

你們若遵守我的命令，就常在我的愛裏，正如我遵守了我父的命令，常在他的愛裏。

nǐ men ruò zūn shǒu wǒ de mìng lìng ， jiù cháng zài wǒ de ài lǐ ， zhèng rú wǒ zūn shǒu le wǒ fù de mìng lìng ， cháng zài tā de ài lǐ 。

If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, even as I have kept my Father’s commandments and remain in his love.

「這些事我已經對你們說了，是要叫我的喜樂存在你們心裏，並叫你們的喜樂可以滿足。

「 zhè xiē shì wǒ yǐ jīng duì nǐ men shuō le ， shì yào jiào wǒ de xǐ lè cún zài nǐ men xīn lǐ ， bìng jiào nǐ men de xǐ lè kě yǐ mǎn zú 。

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

你們要彼此相愛，像我愛你們一樣；這就是我的命令。

nǐ men yào bǐ cǐ xiāng ài ， xiàng wǒ ài nǐ men yí yàng ； zhè jiù shì wǒ de mìng lìng 。

“This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.

人為朋友捨命，人的愛心沒有比這個大的。

rén wéi péng yǒu shě mìng ， rén de ài xīn méi yǒu bǐ zhè ge dà de 。

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

你們若遵行我所吩咐的，就是我的朋友了。

nǐ men ruò zūn xíng wǒ suǒ fēn fù de ， jiù shì wǒ de péng yǒu le 。

You are my friends if you do whatever I command you.

以後我不再稱你們為僕人，因僕人不知道主人所做的事。我乃稱你們為朋友；因我從我父所聽見的，已經都告訴你們了。

yǐ hòu wǒ bú zài chēng nǐ men wèi pú rén ， yīn pú rén bù zhī dào zhǔ rén suǒ zuò de shì 。 wǒ nǎi chēng nǐ men wèi péng yǒu ； yīn wǒ cóng wǒ fù suǒ tīng jiàn de ， yǐ jīng dōu gào sù nǐ men le 。

No longer do I call you servants, for the servant doesn’t know what his lord does. But I have called you friends, for everything that I heard from my Father, I have made known to you.

不是你們揀選了我，是我揀選了你們，並且分派你們去結果子，叫你們的果子常存，使你們奉我的名，無論向父求甚麼，他就賜給你們。

bú shì nǐ men jiǎn xuǎn le wǒ ， shì wǒ jiǎn xuǎn le nǐ men ， bìng qiě fēn pài nǐ men qù jié guǒ zǐ ， jiào nǐ men de guǒ zǐ cháng cún ， shǐ nǐ men fèng wǒ de míng ， wú lùn xiàng fù qiú shén me ， tā jiù cì gěi nǐ men 。

You didn’t choose me, but I chose you and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatever you will ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you.

我這樣吩咐你們，是要叫你們彼此相愛。」

wǒ zhè yàng fēn fù nǐ men ， shì yào jiào nǐ men bǐ cǐ xiāng ài 。」

“I command these things to you, that you may love one another.

「世人若恨你們，你們知道 ，恨你們以先已經恨我了。

「 shì rén ruò hèn nǐ men ， nǐ men zhī dào ， hèn nǐ men yǐ xiān yǐ jīng hèn wǒ le 。

If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.

你們若屬世界，世界必愛屬自己的；只因你們不屬世界，乃是我從世界中揀選了你們，所以世界就恨你們。

nǐ men ruò shǔ shì jiè ， shì jiè bì ài shǔ zì jǐ de ； zhī yīn nǐ men bù shǔ shì jiè ， nǎi shì wǒ cóng shì jiè zhōng jiǎn xuǎn le nǐ men ， suǒ yǐ shì jiè jiù hèn nǐ men 。

If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, since I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

你們要記念我從前對你們所說的話：『僕人不能大於主人。』他們若逼迫了我，也要逼迫你們；若遵守了我的話，也要遵守你們的話。

nǐ men yào jì niàn wǒ cóng qián duì nǐ men suǒ shuō de huà ：『 pú rén bù néng dà yú zhǔ rén 。』 tā men ruò bī pò le wǒ ， yě yào bī pò nǐ men ； ruò zūn shǒu le wǒ de huà ， yě yào zūn shǒu nǐ men de huà 。

Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his lord.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.

但他們因我的名要向你們行這一切的事，因為他們不認識那差我來的。

dàn tā men yīn wǒ de míng yào xiàng nǐ men xíng zhè yí qiè de shì ， yīn wèi tā men bú rèn shi nà chà wǒ lái de 。

But they will do all these things to you for my name’s sake, because they don’t know him who sent me.

我若沒有來教訓他們，他們就沒有罪；但如今他們的罪無可推諉了。

wǒ ruò méi yǒu lái jiào xùn tā men ， tā men jiù méi yǒu zuì ； dàn rú jīn tā men de zuì wú kě tuī wěi le 。

If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.

恨我的，也恨我的父。

hèn wǒ de ， yě hèn wǒ de fù 。

He who hates me, hates my Father also.

我若沒有在他們中間行過別人未曾行的事，他們就沒有罪；但如今連我與我的父，他們也看見也恨惡了。

wǒ ruò méi yǒu zài tā men zhōng jiān xíng guò bié rén wèi céng xíng de shì ， tā men jiù méi yǒu zuì ； dàn rú jīn lián wǒ yǔ wǒ de fù ， tā men yě kàn jiàn yě hèn è le 。

If I hadn’t done among them the works which no one else did, they wouldn’t have had sin. But now they have seen and also hated both me and my Father.

這要應驗他們律法上所寫的話，說：『他們無故地恨我。』

zhè yào yìng yàn tā men lǜ fǎ shàng suǒ xiě de huà ， shuō ：『 tā men wú gù dì hèn wǒ 。』

But this happened so that the word may be fulfilled which was written in their law, ‘They hated me without a cause.’

但我要從父那裏差保惠師來，就是從父出來真理的聖靈；他來了，就要為我作見證。

dàn wǒ yào cóng fù nà lǐ chà bǎo huì shī lái ， jiù shì cóng fù chū lái zhēn lǐ de shèng líng ； tā lái le ， jiù yào wèi wǒ zuò jiàn zhèng 。

“When the Counselor has come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will testify about me.

你們也要作見證，因為你們從起頭就與我同在。」

nǐ men yě yào zuò jiàn zhèng ， yīn wèi nǐ men cóng qǐ tóu jiù yǔ wǒ tóng zài 。」

You will also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
