| 1「我是真葡萄樹，我父是園丁。 |
1 "I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine grower. |
| 2凡在我身上不結實的枝條，他便剪掉；凡結實的，他就清理，使他結更多的果實； |
2He takes away every branch in me that does not bear fruit, and everyone that does he prunes so that it bears more fruit. |
| 3你們因我對你們所講的話，已是清潔的了。 |
3You are already pruned because of the word that I spoke to you. |
| 4你們住在我內，我也住在你們內。正如枝條若不留在葡萄樹上，憑自己不能結實；你們若不住在我內，也一無所能。 |
4Remain in me, as I remain in you. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit on its own unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in me. |
| 5我是葡萄樹，你們是枝條；那住在我內，我也住在他內的，他就結許多的果實，因為離了我，你們什麼也不能作。 |
5I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing. |
| 6誰若不住在我內，便彷彿枝條，丟在外面而枯乾了，人便把它拾起來，投入火中焚燒。 |
6 Anyone who does not remain in me will be thrown out like a branch and wither; people will gather them and throw them into a fire and they will be burned. |
| 7你們如果住在我內，而我的話也存在你們內，如此，你們願意什麼，求罷！必給你們成就。 |
7If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask for whatever you want and it will be done for you. |
| 8我父受光榮，即在於你們多結果實，如此你們就成為我的門徒。 |
8By this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples. |
| 9正如父愛了我，同樣我也愛了你們；你們應存在我的愛內。 |
9As the Father loves me, so I also love you. Remain in my love. |
| 10如果你們遵守我的命令，便存在我的愛內，正如我遵守了我父的命令而存在他的愛內一樣。 |
10If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and remain in his love. |
| 11我對你們講論了這些事，為使我的喜樂存在你們內，使你們喜樂圓滿無缺。」 |
11"I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and your joy may be complete. |
| 12「這是我的命令：你們該彼此相愛，如同我愛了你們一樣。 |
12This is my commandment: love one another as I love you. |
| 13人若為自己的朋友捨掉性命，再沒有比這更大的愛情了。 |
13 No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends. |
| 14你們如果實行我所命令你們的，你們就是我的朋友。 |
14You are my friends if you do what I command you. |
| 15我不再稱你們為僕人，因為僕人不知道他主人所做的事。我稱你們為朋友，因為凡由我父聽來的一切，我都顯示給你們了。 |
15I no longer call you slaves, because a slave does not know what his master is doing. I have called you friends, because I have told you everything I have heard from my Father. |
| 16不是你們揀選了我，而是我揀選了你們，並派你們去結果實，去結常存的果實；如此，你們因我的名無論向父求什麼，他必賜給你們。 |
16It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you. |
| 17這就是我命令你們的：你們應該彼此相愛。」 |
17This I command you: love one another. |
| 18「世界若恨你們，你們該知道，在你們以前，它已恨了我。 |
18 "If the world hates you, realize that it hated me first. |
| 19若是你們屬於世界，世界必喜愛你們，有如屬於自己的人；但因你們不屬於世界，而是我從世界中揀選了你們，為此，世界纔恨你們。 |
19If you belonged to the world, the world would love its own; but because you do not belong to the world, and I have chosen you out of the world, the world hates you. |
| 20你們要記得我對你們所說過的話：沒有僕人大過主人的；如果人們迫害了我，也要迫害你們；如果他們遵守了我的話，也要遵守你們的。 |
20Remember the word I spoke to you, 'No slave is greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours. |
| 21但是，他們為了我名字的緣故，要向你們作這一切，因為他們不認識那派遣我來的。 |
21And they will do all these things to you on account of my name, because they do not know the one who sent me. |
| 22假使我沒有來，沒有教訓他們，他們就沒有罪；但現在他們對自己的罪，是無可推諉的。 |
22If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin; but as it is they have no excuse for their sin. |
| 23恨我的，也恨我的父。 |
23Whoever hates me also hates my Father. |
| 24假使我在他們中，沒有做過其他任何人從未做過的事業，他們便沒有罪；然而，現在他們看見了，卻仍恨了我和我父。 |
24If I had not done works among them that no one else ever did, they would not have sin; but as it is, they have seen and hated both me and my Father. |
| 25但這是為應驗他們法律上所記載的話：『他們無故地惱恨了我。』 |
25But in order that the word written in their law might be fulfilled, 'They hated me without cause.' |
| 26當護慰者，就是我從父那裏給你們派遣的，那發於父的真理之神來到時，他必要為我作證； |
26"When the Advocate comes whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth that proceeds from the Father, he will testify to me. |
| 27並且你們也要作證，因為你們從開始就和我在一起。」 |
27And you also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning. |
