< Yochanan 1 >

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Naʻe ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻae Folofola, pea naʻe ʻi he ʻOtua ʻae Folofola, pea ko e ʻOtua ʻae Folofola,
2 He was in the beginning with God.
Ko ia ia naʻe ʻi he kamataʻanga mo e ʻOtua.
3 All things were made through him, and apart from him nothing was made that has been made.
Naʻe ngaohi ʻe ia ʻae meʻa kotoa pē; pea naʻe ʻikai ha meʻa ʻe ngaohi kae ʻiate ia pe.
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of humanity.
Naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae moʻui; pea ko e moʻui ko e maama ia ʻoe tangata.
5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn't overcome it.
Pea naʻe ulo ʻae maama ʻi he poʻuli; ka naʻe ʻikai maʻu ia ʻe he poʻuli.
6 There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John.
Naʻe ai ha tangata naʻe fekau mei he ʻOtua, ko Sione hono hingoa.
7 He came as a witness to testify about the light, that all might believe through him.
Naʻe haʻu ia ko e fakamoʻoni, ke fakamoʻoni ki he Maama, koeʻuhi ke tui ʻiate ia ʻae kakai kotoa pē.
8 He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.
Naʻe ʻikai ko e Maama ko ia ia, ka ko e fakamoʻoni ki he Maama ko ia.
9 The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.
Ko e Maama moʻoni ia, ʻoku ne fakamaama ki he tangata kotoa pē ʻoku haʻu ki māmani.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, but the world did not recognize him.
Naʻe ʻi māmani ia, pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe ia ʻa māmani, ka naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ia ʻe māmani.
11 He came to his own, and those who were his own did not receive him.
Naʻe haʻu ia ki hono kakai, ka naʻe ʻikai maʻu ia ʻe hono kakai.
12 But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God's children, to those who believe in his name,
Ka ko ia kotoa pē naʻe maʻu ia, naʻa ne foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae monūʻia ke hoko ko e fānau ʻae ʻOtua, kiate kinautolu pe naʻe tui ki hono huafa:
13 who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
‌ʻAia naʻe ʻikai fanauʻi ʻi he toto, pe ʻi he loto ʻoe kakano, pe ʻi he loto ʻoe tangata, ka ʻi he ʻOtua.
14 And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only of the Father, full of grace and truth.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻae Folofola ko e kakano, pea nofo ia ʻiate kitautolu, (pea naʻa mau mamata ki hono nāunau, ko e nāunau ʻoe tokotaha naʻe tupu mei he Tamai, ) ʻoku fonu ʻi he ʻaloʻofa mo e moʻoni.
15 John testified about him and shouted out, saying, "This was the one of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has surpassed me, for he was before me.'"
Naʻe fakamoʻoni ki ai ʻe Sione, ʻo kalanga, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko eni ia naʻaku lea ai, Ko ia ʻoku haʻu muimui ʻiate au, ʻoku lahi ia ʻiate au: he naʻe muʻa ia ʻiate au.’
16 For of his fullness we all received, and grace upon grace.
Pea kuo maʻu ʻekitautolu kotoa pē mei hono fonu, mo e ʻaloʻofa ki he ʻaloʻofa.
17 For the Law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus (the) Messiah.
He naʻe foaki ʻae fono ʻia Mōsese, ka ko e ʻaloʻofa mo e moʻoni naʻe haʻu ʻia Sisu Kalaisi.
18 No one has seen God at any time. The only Son, who is at the Father's side, has made him known.
‌ʻOku ʻikai ha tokotaha kuo ne mamata ki he ʻOtua ʻi ha kuonga; ko e ʻAlo pē taha naʻe fakatupu, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he fatafata ʻoe Tamai, kuo ne fakahā [ia].
19 And this is John's testimony, when the Jewish leaders sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"
Pea ko e fakamoʻoni eni ʻa Sione, ʻi he fekau mai ʻe he kakai Siu ʻae kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livaite mei Selūsalema, ke fehuʻi kiate ia, “Ko hai koe?”
20 And he confessed, and did not deny, but he confessed, "I am not the Messiah."
Pea naʻe fakahā ʻe ia, ʻo ʻikai fakafisi; kae fakahā pe, ʻOku ʻikai ko e Kalaisi au.
21 And they asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" And he said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" And he answered, "No."
Pea naʻa nau fehuʻi kiate ia, “Ka ko hai?” “Ko ʻIlaisiā koe?” Pea talaange ʻe ia, “ʻOku ʻikai.” “Ko koe ʻae palōfita ko ia?” Pea talaange ʻe ia, “ʻIkai.”
22 They said therefore to him, "Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"
Ko ia naʻa nau pehē ai kiate ia, “Ko hai koe?” Koeʻuhi ke mau tala kiate kinautolu naʻe fekauʻi ʻakimautolu. “Ko e hā hoʻo lea kiate koe?”
23 He said, "I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Make straight the way of the Lord,' as Isaiah the prophet said."
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko au ‘ko e leʻo ʻoe tokotaha ʻoku kalanga ʻi he toafa, Fakatonutonu ʻae hala ʻoe ʻEiki,’” ʻo hangē ko e lea ʻae palōfita ko ʻIsaia.
24 (Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.)
Pea naʻe ʻoe kau Fālesi ʻakinautolu naʻe fekau.
25 And they asked him, "Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Messiah, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"
Pea naʻa nau fehuʻi, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Pea ko e hā ʻoku ke fai papitaiso ai, ʻo kapau ʻoku ʻikai ko e Kalaisi ko ia ʻa koe, pe ko ʻIlaisiā, pe ko e palōfita ko ia?”
26 John answered them, saying, "I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you do not know.
Pea leaange ʻa Sione, ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ou papitaiso ʻaki ʻae vai: ka ʻoku tuʻu ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae tokotaha ʻoku ʻikai te mou ʻilo;
27 He is the one who comes after me, whose sandal strap I'm not worthy to loosen."
Ko ia ia ʻoku haʻu fakamuimui ʻiate au, ka ʻoku lahi ia ʻiate au, ko e nonoʻo ʻoe topuvaʻe ʻoʻona ʻoku ʻikai taau mo au ke vete.”
28 These things were done in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
Naʻe fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni ʻi Petapala ʻituʻa Sioatani, ʻaia naʻe fai papitaiso ai ʻa Sione.
29 The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.
Pea ko e ʻaho naʻa na feholoi, naʻe mamata ʻa Sione kia Sisu ʻoku ʻalu ange kiate ia, pea ne pehē, “Vakai ki he Lami ʻae ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ne ʻave ʻae angahala ʻa māmani.
30 This is he of whom I said, 'After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me, because he existed before me.'
Ko eni ia naʻaku pehē ai, ‘ʻOku haʻu fakamuimui ʻiate au ha tangata ʻaia ʻoku lahi ʻiate au: he naʻe muʻa ia ʻiate au.’
31 I did not know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water: that he would be revealed to Israel."
Pea naʻe ʻikai te u ʻilo ia: ka koeʻuhi ke fakahā ia ki ʻIsileli, ko ia kuo u haʻu ai au, ʻo papitaiso ʻaki ʻae vai.”
32 And John testified, saying, "I saw the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.
Pea fakamoʻoni ʻe Sione, ʻo pehē, “Naʻaku mamata ki he Laumālie ʻoku ʻalu hifo mei he langi ʻo hangē ko e lupe, ʻo nofo kiate ia.’
33 And I did not recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water, he said to me, 'On whomever you will see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, this is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.'
Pea naʻe ʻikai te u ʻilo ia: ka ko ia naʻa ne fekau au ke papitaiso ʻaki ʻae vai, naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate au, ‘Ko ia te ke mamata ʻe ʻalu hifo ki ai ʻae Laumālie, ʻo nofo ki ai, ko ia ia ʻoku ne papitaiso ʻaki ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni.’
34 And I have seen and have testified that this is the Chosen One of God."
Pea naʻaku mamata, pea fakamoʻoni ko e ʻAlo eni ʻoe ʻOtua.”
35 Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples,
Pea ko e ʻaho naʻa na feholoi, naʻe tutuʻu ʻa Sione mo ʻene ākonga ʻe toko ua;
36 and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, "Look, the Lamb of God."
Pea ne sio fakamamaʻu kia Sisu, ʻi heʻene ʻeveʻeva, pea pehē ʻe ia, “Vakai ki he Lami ʻae ʻOtua!”
37 And the two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus.
Pea fanongo ki heʻene lea ʻae ongo ākonga, pea na muimui ʻia Sisu.
38 And Jesus turned and saw them following, and said to them, "What are you looking for?" They said to him, "Rabbi" (which translated means Teacher), "where are you staying?"
Pea tafoki ʻa Sisu, ʻo mamata ki heʻena muimui, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinaua, “Ko e hā ʻoku mo kumi? Pea na pehē ki ai, “Lāpai, (ko hono ʻuhinga, ʻAkonaki, ) ʻoku ke nofo ʻi fē?”
39 He said to them, "Come, and you will see." They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about four in the afternoon.
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinaua, “Haʻu ʻo mamata.” Pea naʻa na omi, ʻo mamata ki he potu ʻoku nofo ai ia, ʻo na nonofo mo ia ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, he ko hono hongofulu nai ia ʻoe feituʻulaʻā.
40 One of the two who heard John, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
Ko e tokotaha ʻo kinaua naʻe muimui kiate ia ʻi he fanongo kia Sione, ko ʻAnitelū, ko e tokoua ʻo Saimone Pita.
41 He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah." (which is translated, Anointed One).
Pea tomuʻa ʻilo ʻe ia hono tokoua ʻoʻona ko Saimone, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Kuo mau ʻilo ʻae Misaia (ko hono ʻuhinga, ko e Kalaisi.”)
42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him, and said, "You are Simon the son of John. You will be called Cephas" (which is translated, Peter).
Pea ne ʻomi ia kia Sisu. Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Sisu ki ai, naʻa ne pehē, “Ko koe ko Saimone ko e foha ʻo Siona: ʻe ui koe ko Kifasi (ko hono ʻuhinga, ko Pita.”)
43 On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. And Jesus said to him, "Follow me."
Ko e ʻaho naʻa na feholoi, naʻe loto ʻa Sisu ke ʻalu atu ki Kāleli, pea ʻilo ʻe ia ʻa Filipe, ʻo ne pehē ki ai, “Muimui ʻiate au.”
44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.
Naʻe mei Petesaita ʻa Filipe, ko e potu ʻo ʻAnitelū mo Pita.
45 Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, "We have found him of whom Moses in the Law and the Prophets wrote: Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."
Pea ʻilo ʻe Filipe ʻa Nātaniela, ʻo ne pehē ki ai, “Kuo mau ʻilo ia naʻe tohi ki ai ʻa Mōsese ʻi he fono, mo e kau palōfita, ko Sisu ʻo Nāsaleti, ko e foha ʻo Siosefa.”
46 And Nathanael said to him, "Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."
Pea lea ʻa Nātaniela kiate ia, “ʻE tupu ha lelei mei Nāsaleti?” Pea pehē ʻe Filipe kiate ia, “Haʻu ʻo mamata.”
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, "Look, a true Israelite in whom there is no deceit."
Pea vakai ʻa Sisu kia Nātaniela ʻoku haʻu kiate ia, pea ne pehē kiate ia, “Vakai, ko e ʻIsileli moʻoni, ʻoku ʻikai ʻi ai ha kākā!”
48 Nathanael said to him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."
Pea lea ʻa Nātaniela kiate ia, “ʻOku ke ʻiloʻi au mei fē?” Pea talaange ʻe Sisu, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “ʻI he teʻeki ui koe ʻe Filipe, ʻi hoʻo ʻi he lolo fiki, ne u ʻiloʻi koe.”
49 Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God. You are King of Israel."
Pea lea ʻa Nātaniela, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Lāpai, ko e ʻAlo koe ʻoe ʻOtua; ko e Tuʻi koe ʻo ʻIsileli.”
50 Jesus answered him, "Because I told you, 'I saw you underneath the fig tree,' do you believe? You will see greater things than these."
Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku tala kiate koe, Ne u ʻiloʻi koe ʻi he lolo fiki, ʻoku ke tui ai? Te ke mamata ki he ngaahi meʻa lahi hake ʻi he meʻa ni.”
51 And he said to him, "Truly, truly, I tell you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."
Pea tala ʻe ia kiate ia, “Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Te mou mamata ʻamui ki he langi kuo matangaki, pea mo e kau ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua ʻoku ʻalu hake mo ʻalu hifo ki he Foha ʻoe tangata.”
