John 15

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	VULGATA
1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser.	1 Ego sum vitis vera, et Pater meus agricola est.
2 Every branch in me that does not bear fruit, he will take away. And each one that does bear fruit, he will cleanse, so that it may bring forth more fruit.	2 Omnem palmitem in me non ferentem fructum, tollet eum, et omnem qui fert fructum, purgabit eum, ut fructum plus afferat.
3 You are clean now, because of the word that I have spoken to you.	3 Jam vos mundi estis propter sermonem quem locutus sum vobis.
4 Abide in me, and I in you. Just as the branch is not able to bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, so also are you unable, unless you abide in me.	4 Manete in me, et ego in vobis. Sicut palmes non potest ferre fructum a semetipso, nisi manserit in vite, sic nec vos, nisi in me manseritis.
5 I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me, and I in him, bears much fruit. For without me, you are able to do nothing.	5 Ego sum vitis, vos palmites : qui manet in me, et ego in eo, hic fert fructum multum, quia sine me nihil potestis facere.
6 If anyone does not abide in me, he will be cast away, like a branch, and he will wither, and they will gather him and cast him into the fire, and he burns.	6 Si quis in me non manserit, mittetur foras sicut palmes, et arescet, et colligent eum, et in ignem mittent, et ardet.
7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, then you may ask for whatever you will, and it shall be done for you.	7 Si manseritis in me, et verba mea in vobis manserint, quodcumque volueritis petetis, et fiet vobis.
8 In this, my Father is glorified: that you should bring forth very much fruit and become my disciples.	8 In hoc clarificatus est Pater meus, ut fructum plurimum afferatis, et efficiamini mei discipuli.
9 As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you. Abide in my love.	9 Sicut dilexit me Pater, et ego dilexi vos. Manete in dilectione mea.
10 If you keep my precepts, you shall abide in my love, just as I also have kept my Father’s precepts and I abide in his love.	10 Si præcepta mea servaveritis, manebitis in dilectione mea, sicut et ego Patris mei præcepta servavi, et maneo in ejus dilectione.
11 These things I have spoken to you, so that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be fulfilled.	11 Hæc locutus sum vobis : ut gaudium meum in vobis sit, et gaudium vestrum impleatur.
12 This is my precept: that you love one another, just as I have loved you.	12 Hoc est præceptum meum, ut diligatis invicem, sicut dilexi vos.
13 No one has a greater love than this: that he lay down his life for his friends.	13 Majorem hac dilectionem nemo habet, ut animam suam ponat quis pro amicis suis.
14 You are my friends, if you do what I instruct you.	14 Vos amici mei estis, si feceritis quæ ego præcipio vobis.
15 I will no longer call you servants, for the servant does not know what his Lord is doing. But I have called you friends, because everything whatsoever that I have heard from my Father, I have made known to you.	15 Jam non dicam vos servos : quia servus nescit quid faciat dominus ejus. Vos autem dixi amicos : quia omnia quæcumque audivi a Patre meo, nota feci vobis.
16 You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you. And I have appointed you, so that you may go forth and bear fruit, and so that your fruit may last. Then whatever you have asked of the Father in my name, he shall give to you.	16 Non vos me elegistis, sed ego elegi vos, et posui vos ut eatis, et fructum afferatis, et fructus vester maneat : ut quodcumque petieritis Patrem in nomine meo, det vobis.
17 This I command you: that you love one another.	17 Hæc mando vobis : ut diligatis invicem.
18 If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before you.	18 Si mundus vos odit, scitote quia me priorem vobis odio habuit.
19 If you had been of the world, the world would love what is its own. Yet truly, you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world; because of this, the world hates you.	19 Si de mundo fuissetis, mundus quod suum erat diligeret : quia vero de mundo non estis, sed ego elegi vos de mundo, propterea odit vos mundus.
20 Remember my saying that I told you: The servant is not greater than his Lord. If they have persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they have kept my word, they will keep yours also.	20 Mementote sermonis mei, quem ego dixi vobis : non est servus major domino suo. Si me persecuti sunt, et vos persequentur ; si sermonem meum servaverunt, et vestrum servabunt.
21 But all these things they will do to you because of my name, for they do not know him who sent me.	21 Sed hæc omnia facient vobis propter nomen meum : quia nesciunt eum qui misit me.
22 If I had not come and had not spoken to them, they would not have sin. But now they have no excuse for their sin.	22 Si non venissem, et locutus fuissem eis, peccatum non haberent : nunc autem excusationem non habent de peccato suo.
23 Whoever hates me, hates my Father also.	23 Qui me odit, et Patrem meum odit.
24 If I had not accomplished among them works that no other person has accomplished, they would not have sin. But now they have both seen me, and they have hated me and my Father.	24 Si opera non fecissem in eis quæ nemo alius fecit, peccatum non haberent : nunc autem et viderunt, et oderunt et me, et Patrem meum.
25 But this is so that the word may be fulfilled which was written in their law: ‘For they hated me without cause.’	25 Sed ut adimpleatur sermo, qui in lege eorum scriptus est : Quia odio habuerunt me gratis.
26 But when the Advocate has arrived, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, he will offer testimony about me.	26 Cum autem venerit Paraclitus, quem ego mittam vobis a Patre, Spiritum veritatis, qui a Patre procedit, ille testimonium perhibebit de me ;
27 And you shall offer testimony, because you are with me from the beginning.”	27 et vos testimonium perhibebitis, quia ab initio mecum estis.
