Jesus the Real Vine
1 “I am the real vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He breaks off every branch in me that does not bear fruit, and he prunes every branch that does bear fruit, so that it will be clean and bear more fruit. 3 You have been made clean already by the teaching I have given you. 4 Remain united to me, and I will remain united to you. A branch cannot bear fruit by itself; it can do so only if it remains in the vine. In the same way you cannot bear fruit unless you remain in me.
5 “I am the vine, and you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will bear much fruit; for you can do nothing without me. 6 Those who do not remain in me are thrown out like a branch and dry up; such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire, where they are burned. 7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, then you will ask for anything you wish, and you shall have it. 8 My Father's glory is shown by your bearing much fruit; and in this way you become my disciples. 9 I love you just as the Father loves me; remain in my love. 10 If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love.
11 “I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. 12 My commandment is this: love one another, just as I love you. 13 The greatest love you can have for your friends is to give your life for them. 14 And you are my friends if you do what I command you. 15 I do not call you servants any longer, because servants do not know what their master is doing. Instead, I call you friends, because I have told you everything I heard from my Father. 16 You did not choose me; I chose you and appointed you to go and bear much fruit, the kind of fruit that endures. And so the Father will give you whatever you ask of him in my name. 17 This, then, is what I command you: love one another.
The World's Hatred
18 “If the world hates you, just remember that it has hated me first. 19 If you belonged to the world, then the world would love you as its own. But I chose you from this world, and you do not belong to it; that is why the world hates you. 20 Remember what I told you: ‘Slaves are not greater than their master.’ If people persecuted me, they will persecute you too; if they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours too. 21 But they will do all this to you because you are mine; for they do not know the one who sent me. 22 They would not have been guilty of sin if I had not come and spoken to them; as it is, they no longer have any excuse for their sin. 23 Whoever hates me hates my Father also. 24 They would not have been guilty of sin if I had not done among them the things that no one else ever did; as it is, they have seen what I did, and they hate both me and my Father. 25 This, however, was bound to happen so that what is written in their Law may come true: ‘They hated me for no reason at all.’
26 “The Helper will come—the Spirit, who reveals the truth about God and who comes from the Father. I will send him to you from the Father, and he will speak about me. 27 And you, too, will speak about me, because you have been with me from the very beginning.

K. Jezus — veina kūks.
1 Es asmu eistais veina kūks, un Muns Tāvs ir veinkūpis. 2 Ikvīnu atvasi, kas, uz Manis asūt, nadūd augļu, atgrīž nūst, un ikvīnu, kas augļus dūd, nūteirej, lai bogōtōkus augļus dūtu. 3 Tagad jyus asat teri mōceibas dēļ, kuru jums sludynōju. 4 Palicit Mani, kai Es jyusūs. Kai atvase, kas navā veina kūkā, poša nu sevis augļu dūt navar, tai ari jyus, jo napaliksit Manī.
5 Es asmu veina kūks, jyus asat atvases. Kas Manī mōjoj, un Es jamā, tys dūd bogōtus augļus, jo bez Manis nikō navarit padareit. 6 Kas Manī napaliks kai atvase, tiks izmasts ōrā un nūkaļss; jū sajims un īmess gunī, un jys sadegs. 7 Jo jyus paliksit Manī, un jyusūs paliks Muni vōrdi, tad varit lyugt, kō vīn grybat, un jums tys nūtiks. 8 Kad jyus dūsit daudzi augļu un byusit Muni mōcekli, tad caur tū byus uzslaveits Muns Tāvs. 9 Kai Mani nūmīļōja Tāvs, tai Es nūmīļōju jyusus. Munā mīlesteibā palicit. 10 Jo jyus Munas bausleibas izpiļdeisit, tad jyus Munā mīlesteibā paliksit, kai un Es, sova Tāva bausleibas izpiļdejis, palīku Jō mīlesteibā. 11 Šytū Es jums pastōsteju, lai jyus byutu Munā prīcā, un jyusu prīca byutu piļneiga.
Mīlesteibas bausleiba.
12 Muna bausleiba ir šitei: Mīļojit vīns ūtru tai, kai Es jyusus nūmīļōju. 13 Lelōkas mīlesteibas navā, kai tam, kas par sovim draugim atdūd sovu dzeiveibu. 14 Jyus byusit Muni draugi, jo jyus izpiļdeisit tū, kū Es jums pavēļu. 15 Es jyusu par kolpim vairs nasaucu, jo kolps nazyna, kū jō kungs dora. Es jyusus nūsauču par draugim, jo jums pasludynōju vysu, kū nu sova Tāva dzērdēju. 16 Na jyus Mani izlasejot, bet Es jyusus izlaseju un jyusus pazeimōju, lai jyus ītu un dūtu augļus, un jyusu augli palyktu. Tad jums Tāvs īdūs vysu, kō tik vīn jyus Munā vōrdā lyugsit. 17 Es jums pavēļu šytū: Vīns ūtru mīļojit.
Pasauļa īnaids.
18 Jo pasauļs jyusus naīredz, tad zinit, ka agrōk par jums naīredzēja Mani. 19 Jo jyus byutu nu pasauļa, tad pasauļs kai sovejūs mīļōtu. Bet jyus nu pasauļa naasat, jo Es jyusus nu pasauļa izlaseju, un tōpēc pasauļs jyusus naīredz. 20 Pīminit tūs vōrdus, kurus Es jums saceju: Kolps navā pōrōks par sovu kungu. Jo jī vojōja Mani, vojōs ari jyusus; jo sorgōja Munu mōceibu, sorgōs ari jyusu. 21 Bet vysu tū jums dareis Muna vōrda dēļ, jo jī napazeist Tō, kurs Mani syuteja. 22 Jo Es nabyutu atgōjis un jim runōjis, tad jim grāka nabyutu, bet tagad jim pret sovu grāku navā nikaida aizbyldynōjuma. 23 Kas Manis naīredz, tys ari Muna Tāva naīredz. 24 Jo Es jūs vydā nabyutu padarejis taidu dorbu, kaidu nikas cyts navā darejis, tad jim grāka nabyutu. Bet jī tūs redzēja un aizadaga pret Mani un pret Munu Tāvu naīredzēšonā. 25 Vajag tadei izapiļdeit vōrdim, kas jūs lykumā stōv raksteits: Jī Manis naīredz bez pamata.
26 Kad atīs Īprīcynōtōjs, kuru Es nu Tāva jums atsyuteišu, Patīseibas Gors, kurs paīt nu Tāva, tad Jys par Mani nūdūs līceibu; 27 ari jyus līcynōsit, jo nu īsōkuma kūpā ar Mani asat.
