Ioane 3
1 O KEKAHI kanaka o ka poe Parisaio, o Nikodemo kona inoa, he alii o na Iudaio:
Now there was among the Pharisees a man named Nicodemus, who was one of the rulers of the Jews.
2 Hele aku la ia io Iesu la i ka po, i aku la ia ia, E Rabi, ua ike makou he kumu oe i hele mai nei mai ke Akua mai: no ka mea, aole e hiki i kekahi kanaka ke hana i keia mau hana mana au e hana nei, ke ole ke Akua me ia.
He came to Jesus by night and said to him, Rabbi, we are certain that you have come from God as a teacher, because no man would be able to do these signs which you do if God was not with him.
3 Olelo mai la o Iesu ia ia, i mai la, Oiaio, he oiaio ka'u e olelo aku nei ia oe, Ina e hanau hou ole ia ke kanaka, aole e hiki ia ia ke ike aku i ke aupuni o ke Akua.
Jesus said to him, Truly, I say to you, Without a new birth no man is able to see the kingdom of God.
4 Ninau aka la o Nikodemo ia ia, Pehea la e hiki ai i ke kanaka ke hanauia i kona wa kahiko? e hiki anei ia ia ke komo hoa iloko o ka opu o kona makuwahine, a e hanauia mai?
Nicodemus said to him, How is it possible for a man to be given birth when he is old? Is he able to go into his mother's body a second time and come to birth again?
5 Olelo mai la o Iesu, Oiaio, he oiaio ka'u e olelo aku nei ia oe, Ina e hanau ole ia ke kanaka i ka wai, a me ka Uhane, aole e hiki ia ia ke komo iloko o ke aupuni o ke Akua.
Jesus said in answer, Truly, I say to you, If a man's birth is not from water and from the Spirit, it is not possible for him to go into the kingdom of God.
6 O ka mea i hanauia na ke kino, he kino no ia; a o ka mea i hanauia na ka Uhane, he uhane ia.
That which has birth from the flesh is flesh, and that which has birth from the Spirit is spirit.
7 Mai kahaha kou naau i ka'u i olelo aku ai ia oe, E pau oukou i ka hanau hou e pono ai.
Do not be surprised that I say to you, It is necessary for you to have a second birth.
8 Ke pa nei ka makani i kana wahi i makemake ai, a lohe no oe i kona halulu, aole nae oe i ike i kana wahi i hele mai ai, aole hoi i kana wahi e hele aku ai: pela hoi na mea a pau i hanauia e ka Uhane.
The wind goes where its pleasure takes it, and the sound of it comes to your ears, but you are unable to say where it comes from and where it goes: so it is with everyone whose birth is from the Spirit.
9 Olelo aku la o Nikodemo, i aku la, Pehea la e hiki ai keia mau mea.
And Nicodemus said to him, How is it possible for these things to be?
10 Olelo mai la o Iesu, i mai la ia ia. He kumu oe na ka Iseraela, aole anei oe i ike ia mau mea?
And Jesus, answering, said, Are you the teacher of Israel and have no knowledge of these things?
11 Oiaio, he oiaio ka'u olelo aku nei ia oe, O ka makou mea i ike ai, o ka makou ia e olelo nei, a o ka makou mea i nana'i, oia ka makou e hoike nei; aole hoi oukou i hoomaopopo i ka mea a makou e hoike nei.
Truly, I say to you, We say that of which we have knowledge; we give witness of what we have seen; and you do not take our witness to be true.
12 Ina ua oleie wau i na mea o keia ao, a manaoio ole oukou, pehea la oukou e manaoio ai, ke olelo wau ia oukou i na mea iloko o ka lani?
If you have no belief when my words are about the things of earth, how will you have belief if my words are about the things of heaven?
13 Aohe kanaka i pii iluna i ka lani, o ka mea wale no i iho mai, mai ka lani mai, o ke Keiki a ke kanaka, o ka mea iloko o ka lani.
And no one has ever gone up to heaven but he who came down from heaven, the Son of man.
14 A e like me ka Mose kau ana i ka nahesa iluna ma ka waonahele, pela e pono ai ke Keiki a ke kanaka e kaulia'i;
As the snake was lifted up by Moses in the waste land, even so it is necessary for the Son of man to be lifted up:
So that whoever has faith may have in him eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
16 No ka mea, na aloha nui mai ke Akua i ko ke ao nei, nolaila, ua haawi mai oia i kana Keiki hiwahiwa, i ole e make ka mea manaoio ia ia, aka, e loaa ia ia ke ola mau loa. (aiōnios g166)
For God had such love for the world that he gave his only Son, so that whoever has faith in him may not come to destruction but have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
17 Aole no hoi i hoouna mai ke Akua i kana Keiki i ke ao nei, i hoohewa'i oia i ko ke ao nei; aka, i ola'i ko ke ao nei ma o na la.
God did not send his Son into the world to be judge of the world; he sent him so that the world might have salvation through him.
18 O ka mea manaoio ia ia, aole ia e hoahewaia; aka o ka mea manaoio ole, ua hoahewaia oia ano, i kona manaoio ole i ka inoa o ke Keiki hiwahiwa a ke Akua.
The man who has faith in him does not come up to be judged; but he who has no faith in him has been judged even now, because he has no faith in the name of the only Son of God.
19 Eia ka mea i hoahewaia'i; ua hiki mai ka malamalama i ke ao nei, aka, ua makemake na kanaka i ka pouli, aole i ka malamalama, no ka mea, ua hewa na hana ana a lakou.
And this is the test by which men are judged: the light has come into the world and men have more love for the dark than for the light, because their acts are evil.
20 O ka mea e hana ana i na mea ino, oia ke hoowahawaha i ka malamalama, aole hoi ia e hele mai i ka malamalama, o ikea auanei kana hana ana.
The light is hated by everyone whose acts are evil and he does not come to the light for fear that his acts will be seen.
21 Aka, o ka mea o hana ana ma ka oiaio, oia ke hele mai i ka malamalama, i akaka ai kana hana ana, ua hanaia ma ka ke Akua.
But he whose life is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his acts have been done by the help of God.
22 A mahope iho o keia mau mea, hele aku la o Iesu me kana poe haumana i ka aina o Iudea; a noho iho la ia ilaila me lakou, a bapetizo iho la.
After these things Jesus and his disciples went into the land of Judaea, and there he was with them for some time, giving baptism.
23 A e bapetizo ana no hoi o Ioane ma Ainona e kokoke ana i Salima, no ka mea, ua nui ka wai malaila; a hele mai lakouu; a bapetizoia iho la.
Now John was then giving baptism at Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there; and people came and were given baptism.
24 No ka mea, aole i hahaoia o Ioane iloko a ka halepaahao ia ma nawa.
For at this time John had not been put into prison.
25 Ia wa hoopaapaa ae la na haumana a Ioane me na Iudaio no ka hoomaemae ana.
Then a question came up between John's disciples and a Jew about washing.
26 A hele aku la lakou io Ioane la, i aku la ia ia, E Rabi, o ka mea me oe ma kela kapa o Ioredane, nona au i hoike ai, aia hoi, ke bapetizo la oia, a ke hele nei na kanaka a pau io na la.
And they went to John and said to him, Rabbi, the man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan, the man to whom you gave witness, is now giving baptism, and everyone is going to him.
27 Olelo mai la o Ioane, i mai la, Aole e hiki i ke kanaka ko lawe wale i kekahi mea, ke haawi ole ia mai ia nana mai ka lani moi.
And this was John's answer: A man is unable to have anything if it is not given to him from heaven.
28 O oukou no ko'u poe hoike i ka'u i olelo ai, Aole wau ka Mesia, aka, ua hoounaia mai au mamua ona.
You yourselves give witness that I said, I am not the Christ. What I said was, I am sent before the Christ.
29 O ka mea nana ka wahine mare, o ke kane mare ia: aka, o ka hoaaloha o ke kane mare o ku ana, a e hoolohe ana ia ia, oia ke olioli nui i ka leo o ke kane mare. Ua loaa hoi ia'u keia olioli.
He who has the bride is the husband: but the husband's friend, whose place is by his side and whose ears are open to him, is full of joy because of the husband's voice: such is my joy, and it is complete.
30 E mahuahua ana no oia, aka, e emi iho auanei hoi au.
He has to become greater while I become less.
31 O ka mea noluna mai maluna ia o na mea a pau: o ka mea no ka honua, no ka honua ia, a no ka honua hoi kana olelo: o ka mea no ka lani mai, maluna ia o na mea a pau.
He who comes from heaven is greater than all others: he who comes from earth is of the earth, and of the earth are his words: he who comes from heaven is over all.
32 O ka mea ana i ike ai, a i lohe ai hoi, oia kana e hoike ai; aole nae kekahi mea i malama i kana mea i hoike ai.
He gives witness of what he has seen and of what has come to his ears; and no man takes his witness as true.
33 O ka mea o malama i kana mea i hoike mai ai, oia ke ae mai, he oiaio ka ke Akua.
He who so takes his witness has made clear his faith that God is true.
34 No ka mea, o ka ke Akua mea i hoouna mai ai, o ka ke Akua olelo kana e olelo ai: no ka mea, aole ke Akua e haawi liilii mai i ka Uhane ia ia.
For he whom God has sent says God's words; and God does not give him the Spirit by measure.
35 Ke aloha nei ka Makua i ke Keiki, a na haawi hoi ia i na mea a pau iloko o kona lima.
The Father has love for the Son and has put all things into his hands.
36 O ka mea manaoio i ke Keiki, he ola mau loa kona: aka, o ka mea manaoio ole i ke Keiki, aole ia e ike i ke oia; e kau mai ana ka inaina o ke Akua maluna iho ona. (aiōnios g166)
He who has faith in the Son has eternal life; but he who has not faith in the Son will not see life; God's wrath is resting on him. (aiōnios g166)
