< Ioane 1 >

1 I KINOHI ka Logou, me ke Akua ka Logou, a o ke Akua no ka Logou.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 Me ke Akua no hoi ia i kinohi.
He was in the beginning with God.
3 Hanaia iho la na mea a pau e ia; aole kekahi mea i hanaia i hana ole ia e ia.
All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing that exists came into being.
4 Iloko ona ke ola, a o ua ola la ka malamalama no na kanaka.
In Him was Life, and that Life was the Light of men.
5 Puka mai la ka malamalama iloko o ka pouli, aole nae i hookipa ka pouli ia ia.
The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overpowered it.
6 Hoounaia mai la e ke Akua kekahi kanaka, o Ioane kona inoa.
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 Hele mai la oia i mea hoike, i hoike ai ia no ua malamalama la, i manaoio ai na kanaka a pau ma ona la.
He came as a witness, in order that he might give testimony concerning the Light--so that all might believe through him.
8 Aole no oia ka malamalama, aka, na hele mai ia e hoike i ka malamalama.
He was not the Light, but he existed that he might give testimony concerning the Light.
9 O ka malamalama io ia, ka mea nana e hoomalamalama na kanaka a pau e hele mai ana i ke ao nei.
The true Light was that which illumines every man by its coming into the world.
10 I ke ao nei oia, a i hanaia keia ao e ia, aole nae ko ke ao nei i ike ia ia.
He was in the world, and the world came into existence through Him, and the world did not recognize Him.
11 Hele mai la ia i kona iho, aole kona poe i malama ia ia.
He came to the things that were His own, and His own people gave Him no welcome.
12 Aka, o ka poe i malama ia ia me ka manaoio i kona inoa, haawi mai la ia i ka pono no lakou e lilo ai i poe keiki na ke Akua:
But all who have received Him, to them--that is, to those who trust in His name--He has given the privilege of becoming children of God;
13 O ka poe i hanauia, aole na ke koko, aole na ka makemake o ke kino, aole hoi na ka makemake o ke kanaka, na ke Akua no.
who were begotten as such not by human descent, nor through an impulse of their own nature, nor through the will of a human father, but from God.
14 Lilo mai la ka Logou i kanaka, a nobo iho la me kakou, a ike kakou i kona nani, i ka nani o ka hiwahiwa a ke Akua, ua piha i ka lokomaikai a me ka oiaio.
And the Word came in the flesh, and lived for a time in our midst, so that we saw His glory--the glory as of the Father's only Son, sent from His presence. He was full of grace and truth.
15 Hoike akaka mai la o Ioane, i mai la, Oia ka mea nona wau i olelo ai, O ka mea e hele mai ana mahope o'u, mamua o'a ia; no ka mea, ua mua ia no'u.
John gave testimony concerning Him and cried aloud, saying, "This is He of whom I said, 'He who is coming after me has been put before me,' for He was before me."
16 Noloko mai o kana mea i piha ai, ua loaa ia kakou na mea maikai a nui loa.
For He it is from whose fulness we have all received, and grace upon grace.
17 Ua haawiia mai ke kanawai ma o Mose la; aka, o ka lokomaikai a me ka oiaio ma o Iesu Kristo la ia.
For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 Aole loa i ike pono kekahi i ke Akua; o ke Keiki hiwahiwa, aia ma ka poli o ka Makua, oia ka i hoike mai ia ia.
No human eye has ever seen God: the only Son, who is in the Father's bosom--He has made Him known.
19 Eia ka Ioane i hoike mai ai, i ka wa i hoouna aku ai na Iudaio i na kahuna, a me na Levi no Ierusalema aku, e ninau aku ia ia, Owai oe?
This also is John's testimony, when the Jews sent to him a deputation of Priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him who he was.
20 Hai akaka mai la ia, aole i hoole, i mai la, Aole owau ka Mesia.
He avowed--he did not conceal the truth, but avowed, "I am not the Christ."
21 Ninau aku la lakou ia ia, Owai hoi? O Elia anei oe? I mai la ia, Aole O kela kaula anei oe? I mai la ia, Aole.
"What then?" they inquired; "are you Elijah?" "I am not," he said. "Are you the Prophet?" "No," he answered.
22 Ninau hou aku la lakou ia ia, Owai la hoi oe? i hai aku ai makou i ka poe nana makou i hoouna mai; heaha kau olelo nou iho?
So they pressed the question. "Who are you?" they said--"that we may take an answer to those who sent us. What account do you give of yourself?"
23 Hai mai la ia, Owau no ka leo e kala ana i ka waonahele, E hoopololei i ke alanui no Iehova, e like me ka Isaia ke kaula i olelo ai.
"I am the voice," he replied, "of one crying aloud, 'Make straight the Lord's way in the Desert,' fulfilling the words of the Prophet Isaiah."
24 O na mea i hoounaia, no ka poe Parisaio lakou.
They were Pharisees who had been sent.
25 Ninau aku la lakou ia ia, i aku la ia ia, No ke aha la hoi oe i bapetizo ai, ke ole oe ka Mesia, aole hoi o Elia, aole hoi o kela kaula?
Again they questioned him. "Why then do you baptize," they said, "if you are neither the Christ nor Elijah nor the Prophet?"
26 Olelo mai la o Ioane ia lakou, i mai la, Ke bapetizo nei au me ka wai: aka, ke ku nei kekahi iwaena o oukou, ka mea a oakou i ike ole ai;
"I baptize in water only," John answered, "but in your midst stands One whom you do not know--
27 Oia ka mea e hele mai ana mahope o'u, mamua o'u ia; aole au e pono ke kala ae i ke kaula a kona kamaa.
He who is to come after me, and whose sandal-strap I am not worthy to unfasten."
28 Hanaia iho la keia mau mea i Betabara ma kela aoao o Ioredane, kahi a Ioane i bapetizo ai.
This conversation took place at Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 A ia la ae, ike ae la o Ioane ia Iesu e hele mai ana io na la, i mai la, E nana i ke Keikihipa a ke Akua, nana e lawe aku ka hala o ke ao nei!
The next day John saw Jesus coming towards him and exclaimed, "Look, that is the Lamb of God who is to take away the sin of the world!
30 Oia nei ka mea nona wau i olelo ai, E hele mai ana kekahi kanaka mahope o'u, mamua o'u ia, no ka mea, ua mua ia no'u.
This is He about whom I said, 'After me is to come One who has been put before me, because He was before me.'
31 Aole nae au i ike pono ia ia; aka, i hoikeia oia i ka Iseraela, nolaila au i hele mai nei e bapetizo ana me ka wai.
I did not yet know Him; but that He may be openly shown to Israel is the reason why I have come baptizing in water."
32 Hoike mai la o Ioane, i mai la, Ua ike au i ka Uhane e iho mai ana mai ka lani mai, e like me ka manu nunu, a e nobo ana maluna iho ona.
John also gave testimony by stating: "I have seen the Spirit coming down like a dove out of Heaven; and it remained upon Him.
33 Aole nae au i ike pono ia ia; aka, o ka mea nana au i hoouna mai e bapetizo me ka wai, oia ka i olelo mai ia'u, Aia ike aku oe i ka Uhane e iho mai ana maluna ona, a e noho ana maluna ona, oia ka mea, nana e bapetizo me ka Uhane Hemolele.
I did not yet know Him, but He who sent me to baptize in water said to me, "'The One on whom you see the Spirit coming down, and remaining, He it is who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.'
34 A ua ike au, a hoike mai hoi, oia ke Keiki a ke Akua.
"This I have seen, and I have become a witness that He is the Son of God."
35 A ia la ao, ku hou ae la o Ioane, me na haumana ana elua.
Again the next day John was standing with two of his disciples,
36 A ike aku la ia Iesu e hele ae ana, i mai la ia, E nana i ke Keikihipa a ke Akua!
when he saw Jesus passing by, and said, "Look! that is the Lamb of God!"
37 A lohe ae la na haumana elua i kana olelo ana, a hahai aku la laua ia Iesu.
The two disciples heard his exclamation, and they followed Jesus.
38 Haliu ae la o Iesu, ike mai la ia laua e hahai ana, i mai la ia laua, Heaha ka olua e imi mai nei? I aku la laua ia ia, E Rabi, (ma ka hoohalike ana, e ke Kumu, ) mahea kou wahi i noho ai?
Then Jesus turned round, and seeing them following He asked them, "What is your wish?" "Rabbi," they replied--'Rabbi' means 'Teacher' --"where are you staying?"
39 I mai la kela ia laua, E hele mai, e ike. A hele aku la laua, a ike i kona wahi i noho ai; a noho iho la laua me ia ia la; ua kokoke ka umi o ka hora.
"Come and you shall see," He said. So they went and saw where He was staying, and they remained and spent that day with Him. It was then about ten o'clock in the morning.
40 O Anederea, ke kaikaina o Simona Petero, oia kekahi o ua mau haumana la elua i lohe i ka Ioane, a hahai aku la ia Iesu.
Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two who heard John's exclamation and followed Jesus.
41 Loaa mua ia ia kona kaikuaana iho, o Simona, a i aku la ia ia, Ua loaa ia maoa ka Mesia, ma ka hoohalike ana, o Kristo ia.
He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah!" --that is to say, the Anointed One.
42 A alakai aku la kela ia ia io Iesu la. A ike mai la o Iesu ia ia, i mai la, O oe no o Simona, ke keiki a Iona; e kapaia oe o Kepa, ma ka hoohalike ana, he pohaku.
He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon, son of John: you shall be called Cephas" --that is to say, Peter (or 'Rock').
43 Ia la ae, manao iho la o Iesu e hele i Galilaia, a loaa ia ia o Pilipo, i mai la ia ia, E hahai mai oe ia'u.
The next day, having decided to leave Bethany and go into Galilee, Jesus found Philip, and invited him to follow Him.
44 A o Pilipo no Betesaida ia, no ke kulanakauhale o Anederea, a me Petero.
(Now Philip came from Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter.)
45 Loaa ia Pilipo o Natanaela, i aku la o Pilipo ia ia, Ua loaa ia makou ka mea a Mose iloko o ke kanawai, a me na kaula i palapala'i, o Iesu, no Nazareta, ke keiki a Iosepa.
Then Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, "We have found him about whom Moses in the Law wrote, as well as the Prophets--Jesus, the son of Joseph, a man of Nazareth."
46 Ninau mai la o Natanaela ia ia, E hiki mai anei kekahi mea maikai no Nazareta mai? I aku la o Pilipo ia ia, E hele mai, e ike.
"Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" replied Nathanael. "Come and see," said Philip.
47 Ike ae la o Iesu ia Natanaela e hele mai ana io na la, a olelo mai la ia nona, E nana i ka Iseraela oiaio, aole he hoopunipuni iloko ona.
Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, and said of him, "Look! here is a true Israelite, in whom there is no deceitfulness!"
48 Ninau aku la o Natanaela ia ia, i aku la, Inahea oe i ike mai ai ia'u? Olelo mai la o Iesu ia ia, i mai la, Mamua o ka Pilipo kahea ana'ku ia oe, ua ike au ia oe e noho ana malalo o ka laau fiku.
"How do you know me?" Nathanael asked. "Before Philip called you," said Jesus, "when you were under the fig-tree I saw you."
49 Olelo aku la o Natanaela ia ia, i aku la, E Rabi, o oe ke Keiki a ke Akua, o oe ke alii o ka Iseraela.
"Rabbi," cried Nathanael, "you are the Son of God, you are Israel's King!"
50 Olelo mai la o Iesu ia ia, i mai la, No ka'u hai ana'ku ia oe, Ua ike au ia oe malalo o ka laau fiku, ke manaoio nei anei oe? E ike auanei oe i na mea nui e aku i keia.
"Because I said to you, 'I saw you under the fig-tree,'" replied Jesus, "do you believe? You shall see greater things than that."
51 Olelo mai la oia ia ia, Oiaio; he oiaio ka'u e olelo aku nei ia oukou, Mahope aku e ike oukou i ka lani e hamama ana, a me na anela o ke Akua e pii aku ana, a e iho mai ana maluna iho o ke Keiki a ke kanaka.
"I tell you all in most solemn truth," He added, "that you shall see Heaven opened wide, and God's angels going up, and coming down to the Son of Man."
