1 אָנֹכִי הַגֶּפֶן הָאֲמִתִּית וְאָבִי הוּא הַכֹּרֵם | 1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. |
2 כָּל־שָׂרִיג בִּי אֲשֶׁר אֵינֶנּוּ עֹשֶׂה־פְּרִי יְסִירֶנּוּ וַאֲשֶׁר יַעֲשֶׂה פְרִי יְטַהֲרֶנּוּ לְהַרְבּוֹת אֶת־פִּרְיוֹ | 2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. |
3 אַתֶּם כָּעֵת מְטֹהָרִים בַּעֲבוּר דְּבָרִי אֲשֶׁר דִּבַּרְתִּי אֲלֵיכֶם | 3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. |
4 עִמְדוּ־בִי וַאֲנִי בָכֶם כַּאֲשֶׁר הַשָּׂרִיג בַּל־יַעֲשֶׂה פְרִי מֵאֵלָיו אִם־לֹא יַעֲמֹד בַּגֶּפֶן כֵּן גַּם־אַתֶּם אִם־לֹא תַעַמְדוּ בִּי | 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. |
5 אָנֹכִי הוּא הַגֶּפֶן וְאַתֶּם הַשָּׂרִגִים הָעֹמֵד בִּי וַאֲנִי בוֹ הוּא יַעֲשֶׂה־פְּרִי לָרֹב כִּי בִלְעָדַי לֹא תוּכְלוּן עֲשֹוֹת מְאוּמָה | 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. |
6 אִישׁ אֲשֶׁר לֹא יַעֲמֹד בִּי יֻשְׁלַךְ כַּשָּׂרִיג הַחוּצָה וְיִיבָשׁ וְיִלְקְטוּם וְיַשְׁלִיכוּם אֶל־תּוֹךְ הָאֵשׁ וְהָיָה לְבָעֵר | 6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. |
7 וְהָיָה אִם־תַּעַמְדוּ בִי וּדְבָרַי יִהְיוּ בָכֶם כְּכָל־חֶפְצְכֶם תִּשְׁאֲלוּ וְיֵעָשֶׂה לָכֶם | 7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. |
8 בְּזֹאת נִכְבַּד אָבִי בַּעֲשׂוֹתְכֶם פְּרִי לָרֹב וִהְיִיתֶם לִי לְתַלְמִידִים | 8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. |
9 כַּאֲשֶׁר אֲהֵבַנִי אָבִי אָהַבְתִּי אֶתְכֶם גַּם־אָנִי וְאַתֶּם עִמְדוּ בְאַהֲבָתִי | 9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. |
10 אִם־תִּשְׁמְרוּ אֶת־מִצְוֹתַי תַּעַמְדוּ בְּאַהֲבָתִי כַּאֲשֶׁר שָׁמַרְתִּי גַם־אֲנִי אֶת־מִצְוֹת אָבִי וְעָמַדְתִּי בְּאַהֲבָתוֹ | 10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. |
11 אֶת־אֵלֶּה דִּבַּרְתִּי אֲלֵיכֶם בַּעֲבוּר תִּהְיֶה שִׂמְחָתִי בָּכֶם וְתִמָּלֵא שִׂמְחַתְכֶם | 11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. |
12 הִנֵּה־זֹאת מִצְוָתִי כִּי תֶאֱהָבוּן אִישׁ אֶת־אָחִיו כַּאֲשֶׁר אֲהַבְתִּיכֶם | 12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. |
13 אֵין לְאִישׁ אַהֲבָה יְתֵרָה מִתִּתּוֹ אֶת־נַפְשׁוֹ בְּעַד יְדִידָיו | 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. |
14 וְאַתֶּם יְדִידַי אַתֶּם אִם־תַּעֲשֹוּ אֵת אֲשֶׁר־אֲנִי מְצַוֶּה אֶתְכֶם | 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. |
15 לֹא־אֶקְרָא לָכֶם עוֹד עֲבָדִים כִּי הָעֶבֶד אֵינֶנּוּ יֹדֵעַ אֶת־אֲשֶׁר יַעֲשֶׂה אֲדֹנָיו כִּי אִם־אָמַרְתִּי יְדִידַי אַתֶּם כִּי כָל־אֲשֶׁר שָׁמַעְתִּי מֵאֵת אָבִי הוֹדַעְתִּי אֶתְכֶם | 15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. |
16 לֹא אַתֶּם בְּחַרְתֶּם בִּי כִּי אִם־אָנֹכִי בָּחַרְתִּי בָכֶם וְהִפְקַדְתִּי אֶתְכֶם לָלֶכֶת וְלַעֲשֹוֹת פֶּרִי וּפֶרְיְכֶם יָקוּם וְהָיָה כֹּל אֲשֶׁר תִּשְׁאֲלוּ מֵאָבִי בִּשְׁמִי יִתֵּן לָכֶם | 16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. |
17 אֶת־אֵלֶּה אֲנִי מְצַוֶּה אֶתְכֶם לְמַעַן תֱּאֱהָבוּן אִישׁ אֶת־אָחִיו | 17 These things I command you, that ye love one another. |
18 אִם־הָעוֹלָם שׂנֵא אֶתְכֶם דְּעוּ כִּי אֹתִי שָׂנֵא רִאשׁוֹנָה | 18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. |
19 אִלּוּ מִן־הָעוֹלָם הֱיִיתֶם כִּי־אָז אָהַב הָעוֹלָם אֵת אֲשֶׁר־לוֹ וְיַעַן כִּי־אֵינְכֶם מִן־הָעוֹלָם כִּי אִם־בָּחַרְתִּי אֶתְכֶם מִתּוֹךְ הָעוֹלָם לָכֵן הָעוֹלָם יִשְׂנָא אֶתְכֶם | 19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. |
20 זִכְרוּ אֶת־דְּבָרִי אֲשֶׁר דִּבַּרְתִּי אֲלֵיכֶם הָעֶבֶד אֵינֶנּוּ גָדוֹל מֵאֲדֹנָיו אִם־רָדְפוּ אֹתִי גַּם־אֶתְכֶם יִרְדֹּפוּ אִם־שָׁמְרוּ אֶת־דְּבָרִי גַּם אֶת־דְּבַרְכֶם יִשְׁמֹרוּ | 20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. |
21 אֲבָל כָּל־זֹאת יַעֲשֹוּ לָכֶם בַּעֲבוּר שְׁמִי כִּי לֹא־יָדְעוּ אֶת־שֹׁלְחִי | 21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. |
22 לוּלֵא בָאתִי וְדִבַּרְתִּי אֲלֵיהֶם לֹא־הָיָה בָהֶם חֵטְא וְעַתָּה לֹא יוּכְלוּ לְהִתְנַצֵּל עַל־חַטֹּאתָם | 22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin. |
23 הַשּׂנֵא אֹתִי יִשְׂנָא גַּם־אֶת־אָבִי | 23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also. |
24 לוּלֵא עָשִׂיתִי בְתוֹכָם אֶת־הַמַּעֲשִׂים אֲשֶׁר־אִישׁ זוּלָתִי לֹא עָשָׂה לֹא־הָיָה בָהֶם חֵטְא וְעַתָּה רָאוּ וַיִּשְׂנְאוּ גַּם־אֹתִי גַּם־אֶת־אָבִי | 24 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. |
25 אַךְ לְמַלֹּאת דְּבַר־הַכָּתוּב בְּתוֹרָתָם שִׂנְאַת חִנָּם שְׂנֵאוּנִי | 25 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause. |
26 וּבְבוֹא הַפְּרַקְלִיט אֲשֶׁר אֶשְׁלָחֶנּוּ לָכֶם מֵאֵת אָבִי רוּחַ הָאֱמֶת הַיּוֹצֵא מֵאֵת אָבִי הוּא יָעִיד עָלָי | 26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: |
27 וְגַם־אַתֶּם תָּעִידוּ כִּי מֵרֹאשׁ הֱיִיתֶם עִמָּדִי | 27 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning. |
