Jesus egiazko mahatsondoa

1 «Neu naiz egiazko mahatsondoat, eta nire Aita da nekazaria. 2 Fruiturik ematen ez duen aihena ebaki egiten du Aitak, eta fruitua ematen duena garbitu eta kimatu, fruitu gehiago eman dezan.t 3 Zuek garbi zaudete dagoeneko, adierazi dizuedan mezuaren bidez.t

4 Zaudete niri itsatsiak, ni zuei bezala. Aihenak, mahatsondoari itsatsia ez badago, fruiturik eman ezin duen bezala, ezta zuek ere, niri itsatsiak ez bazaudete.t
5 «Ni naiz mahatsondoa eta zuek aihenak. Norbait niri itsatsia badago, ni berari bezala, horrek fruitu asko emango du; ni gabe ezin baituzue ezer egin.t 6 Niri itsatsirik ez dagoena kanpora botatzen dute, ebaki eta ihartzen den aihena bezalaxe; gero, bildu, sutara bota eta erre egiten dute.t 7 Niri itsatsirik bazaudete eta nire irakatsiek zuengan tinko irauten badute, eskatu nahi duzuena eta izango duzue.t 8 Honetan azaltzen da nire Aitaren aintza: zuek, nire ikasle izanik, fruitu asko ematean.t 9 Aitak maite nauen bezala, halaxe maite zaituztet nik ere zuek; iraun tinko nire maitasunean.t 10 Nire aginduak betetzen badituzue, nire maitasunean iraungo duzue, nik neure Aitaren aginduak betez haren maitasunean irauten dudan bezala.t

11 Hau guztia nire poza zeuengan izan dezazuen esan dizuet, eta poz hori bete-betea izan dadin.t

Maitasunaren agindua

17 Hauxe agintzen dizuet: maita dezazuela elkar.t

Mundu sinesgabea Jesusen ikasleen aurka

21 Niregatik erabiliko zaituztete horrela, bidali nauena ezagutzen ez dutelako.t
22 «Ni etorri ez banintz eta hitz egin ez banie, ez ziren errudun izango; orain, ordea, ez dute aitzakiarik beren bekatuarentzat.t 23 Niri gorroto didanak, gorroto dio nire Aitari ere.t 24 Beraien artean beste inork ez bezalako egintzak egin ez banitu, ez ziren errudun izango; baina orain ikusi dituzte, eta halere niri eta Aitari, bioi digute gorroto.t

25 Horrela, haien Liburu Santuetan idatzia dagoen hau bete da: Arrazoirik gabe gorroto izan didate.t

Espirituaren eta ikasleen testigantza

John 15

The Vine and the Branches

1 “I am the true vines and my Father is the gardener.t2 He takes awayts every branch that does not beart fruit in me. Het prunest every branch that bearst fruit so that it will bear more fruit.3 You are clean alreadys because of the word that I have spoken to you.

4 Remaint in me, and I will remain in you.t Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself,s unless it remainst int the vine, so neither can you unless you remaint in me.
5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remainst in me – and I in him – bearst much fruit,ts because apart from me you can accomplisht nothing.6 If anyone does not remaint in me, he is thrown out like a branch, and dries up; and such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire,s and are burned up.t7 If you remaint in me and my words remaint in you, ask whatever you want, and it will be done for you.s

8 My Father is honoredt by this, thatt you beart much fruit and show that you ares my disciples.
9 “Just as the Father has loved me, I have also loved you; remaint in my love.10 If you obeyt my commandments, you will remaint in my love, just as I have obeyedt my Father’s commandments and remaint in his love.11 I have told you these thingst so that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be complete.12 My commandment is this – to love one another just as I have loved you.s13 No one has greater love than this – that one lays down his lifet for his friends.14 You are my friendss if you do what I command you.15 I no longer call you slaves,t because the slave does not understandt what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because I have revealed to you everythingt I heardt from my Father.16 You did not choose me, but I chose yous and appointed you to go and beart fruit, fruit that remains,s so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you.

17 Thist I command you – to love one another.

The World’s Hatred

18 “If the world hates you, be awaret that it hated me first.t19 If you belonged to the world,t the world would love you as its own.t However, because you do not belong to the world,t but I chose you out of the world, for this reasont the world hates you.s20 Remember whatt I told you, ‘A slavet is not greater than his master.’s If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they obeyedt my word, they will obeyt yours too.21 But they will do all these things to you on account oft my name, because they do not know the one who sent me.t22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin.ts But they no longer have any excuse for their sin.23 The one who hates me hates my Father too.24 If I had not performedt among them the miraculous deedst that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin.t But now they have seen the deedst and have hated both me and my Father.t25 Now this happenedt to fulfill the word that is written in their law, ‘They hated me without reason.’s26 When the Advocatet comes, whom I will send you from the Father – the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father – het will testify about me,

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