Original text and translations

English text

If ye love me,
keep my commandments,
and I will pray the Father,
and he shall give you another comforter,
that he may abide with you forever,
e'en the spirit of truth.

Dutch translation

Wanneer gij Mij liefhebt,
zult gij Mijn geboden bewaren.
En Ik zal de Vader bidden
en Hij zal u een andere Trooster geven
om tot in eeuwigheid bij u te zijn,
de Geest der Waarheid.

French translation

Si vous m'aimez,
observez mes commandements,
et je prierais au Père,
et il vous donnera un autre consolateur,
qu'il puisse demeurer avec vous toujours,
même l'esprit de la vérité.

German translation

Wenn ihr mich liebt,
so haltet meine Gebote,
und ich werde den Vater bitten,
und er wird euch einen anderen Tröster geben,
der immer bei euch bleiben soll,
nämlich den Geist der Wahrheit.

Spanish translation

Si ustedes me aman,
observarán mis mandamientos,
y yo le rezaré al Padre,
y Él les enviará otro Intercesor,
que permanecerá con ustedes para siempre;
Este es el espíritu de la verdad.

Tweede vertaling

Als je Mij lief hebt,
houd je dan aan mijn geboden.
Dan zal Ik de Vader vragen jullie een andere pleitbezorger te geven,
die altijd bij je zal zijn: de Geest van de waarheid.
