Hoani 1
1 I te timatanga te Kupu, i te Atua te Kupu, ko te Atua ano te Kupu.
From the first he was the Word, and the Word was in relation with God and was God.
2 I te Atua ano tenei Kupu i te timatanga.
This Word was from the first in relation with God.
3 Nana nga mea katoa i hanga; kahore hoki tetahi mea i kore te hanga e ia o nga mea i hanga.
All things came into existence through him, and without him nothing was.
4 I a ia te ora; ko te ora te marama mo nga tangata.
What came into existence in him was life, and the life was the light of men.
5 I roto i te pouri te marama e whiti ana; heoi kihai i mau i te pouri.
And the light goes on shining in the dark; it is not overcome by the dark.
6 I tonoa mai he tangata e te Atua, ko Hoani tona ingoa.
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 I haere mai ia hei kaiwhakaatu, hei whakaatu mo te marama, kia meinga ai e ia nga tangata katoa kia whakapono.
He came for witness, to give witness about the light, so that all men might have faith through him.
8 Ehara ia i te marama, engari i haere mai hei kaiwhakaatu mo te marama.
He himself was not the light: he was sent to give witness about the light.
9 Ko te marama pono tera, ara ko te marama e marama ai nga tangata katoa e haere mai ana ki te ao.
The true light, which gives light to every man, was then coming into the world.
10 I te ao ia, i hanga ano e ia te ao, a kihai te ao i mohio ki a ia.
He was in the world, the world which came into being through him, but the world had no knowledge of him.
11 I haere mai ia ki ona, a kihai ona i manako ki a ia.
He came to the things which were his and his people did not take him to their hearts.
12 Tena ko te hunga i manako ki a ia i tukua e ia ki a ratou nga tikanga e meinga ai ratou hei tamariki ma te Atua, ara ki te hunga e whakapono ana ki tona ingoa:
To all those who did so take him, however, he gave the right of becoming children of God — that is, to those who had faith in his name:
13 Ki te hunga ehara nei i te toto, ehara i ta te kikokiko i pai ai, ehara i ta te tangata i pai ai, engari na te Atua i whanau ai.
Whose birth was from God and not from blood, or from an impulse of the flesh and man's desire.
14 I whakakikokikoa te Kupu, a noho ana i a matou, i kite ano matou i tona kororia he kororia e rite ana ki to te Tama kotahi a te Matua, ki tonu i te aroha noa, i te pono.
And so the Word became flesh and took a place among us for a time; and we saw his glory — such glory as is given to an only son by his father — saw it to be true and full of grace.
15 I korerotia ia e Hoani; i karanga tera, i mea, Ko ia tenei i korerotia ra e ahau, Ko ia e haere mai ana i muri i ahau e meinga ana ki mua i ahau: no mua hoki ia i ahau.
John gave witness about him, crying, This is he of whom I said, He who is coming after me is put over me because he was in existence before me.
16 Kua riro hoki i a tatou katoa tetahi wahi o tona raneatanga, te aroha noa hono iho ki te aroha noa.
From his full measure we have all been given grace on grace.
17 Na Mohi hoki i homai te ture; ko te aroha noa me te pono i ahu mai i a Ihu Karaiti.
For the law was given through Moses; grace and the true way of life are ours through Jesus Christ.
18 Kahore ano he tangata i kite noa i te Atua; ko te Tama kotahi, kei te uma nei o te Matua, nana ia i whakapuaki.
No man has seen God at any time; the only Son, who is on the breast of the Father, he has made clear what God is.
19 Na ko te korero tenei a Hoani, i te tononga mai a nga Hurai i Hiruharama i nga tohunga nui ratou ko nga Riwaiti hei ui ki a ia, Ko wai koe?
And this is the witness of John when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to him with the question, Who are you?
20 Na ka whakina e ia, kihai i whakakahore, i whaki hoki, Ehara ahau i a te Karaiti.
He said quite openly and straightforwardly, I am not the Christ.
21 A ka ui ratou ki a ia, Tena, pehea? Ko Iraia koe? Ka mea ia, Kahore. Ko te poropiti oti koe? Ka whakahokia e ia, Kahore.
And they said to him, What then? Are you Elijah? And he said, I am not. Are you the prophet? And his answer was, I am not.
22 Na ka mea ratou ki a ia, Ko wai koia koe? Hei kupu whakahoki ma matou ki te hunga i tonoa mai ai matou. E pehea ano koe ki a koe?
So they said to him, Who are you then? We have to give some answer to those who sent us. What have you to say about yourself?
23 Ka mea ia, he reo ahau no tetahi e karanga ana i te koraha, Whakatikaia te huarahi o te Ariki; he pera me ta Ihaia poropiti i mea ai.
He said, I am the voice of one crying in the waste land, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said Isaiah the prophet.
24 No nga Parihi hoki te hunga i tonoa mai ra.
Those who had been sent came from the Pharisees.
25 Na ka ui ratou ki a ia, ka mea ki a ia, He aha oti koe i iriiri ai, ki te mea ehara koe i a te Karaiti, ehara i a Iraia, ehara i te poropiti?
And they put this question to him, saying, Why then are you giving baptism if you are not the Christ, or Elijah, or the prophet?
26 Na ka whakahoki a Hoani ki a ratou, ka mea, He iriiri taku ki te wai: otiia tena te tu na i waenganui i a koutou tetahi kahore e mohiotia e koutou:
John's answer was: I give baptism with water; but there is one among you of whom you have no knowledge;
27 Ko ia tenei e haere mai ana i muri i ahau kahore hoki ahau e tau hei wewete i te here o tona hu.
It is he who is coming after me; I am not good enough to undo his shoes.
28 I meatia enei mea ki Petapara, kia tawahi atu o Horano, ki te wahi e iriiri ana a Hoani.
These things took place at Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was giving baptism.
29 I te aonga ake ka kite ia i a Ihu e haere ana mai ki a ia, ka mea, na, te Reme a te Atua, hei waha atu i te hara o te ao!
The day after, John sees Jesus coming to him and says, See, here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
30 Ko ia tenei i korero ai ahau, Kei te haere mai i muri i ahau tetahi tangata kua meinga ki mua i ahua; no mua hoki ia i ahau.
This is he of whom I said, One is coming after me who is put over me because he was in existence before me.
31 A kahore ahau i matau ki a ia; heoi hei whakakite i a ia ki a Iharaira, i haere mai ai ahau me taku iriiri ki te wai.
I myself had no knowledge of him, but I came giving baptism with water so that he might be seen openly by Israel.
32 Na ka whakaatu a Hoani, ka mea, I kite ahau i te Wairua e heke iho ana i te rangi, ano he kukupa, a noho ana i runga i a ia.
And John gave this witness, saying, I saw the Spirit coming down from heaven like a dove and resting on him.
33 A kahore ahau i matau ki a ia: engari i ki mai ki ahau te kaitono mai i ahau ki te iriiri ki te wai, Ko te tangata e kite ai koe i te Wairua e heke iho ana, e noho ana ki runga ki a ia, ko ia tena te kaiiriiri ki te Wairua Tapu.
I had no knowledge who he was, but he who sent me to give baptism with water said to me, The one on whom you see the Spirit coming down and resting, it is he who gives baptism with the Holy Spirit.
34 A kua kite ahau, kua whakaatu nei hoki, ko te Tama tenei a te Atua.
This I saw myself and my witness is that he is the Son of God.
35 I te aonga ake i te tu ano a Hoani me ana akonga tokorua;
The day after, John was there again with two of his disciples;
36 Na ka titiro ia ki a Ihu e haere ana, ka mea, na, te Reme a te Atua!
And looking at Jesus while he was walking he said, See, there is the Lamb of God!
37 A ka rongo nga akonga tokorua ki a ia e korero ana, a aru ana raua i a Ihu.
Hearing what he said, the two disciples went after Jesus.
38 A ka tahuri a Ihu, ka kite i a raua e aru ana, ka mea ia ki a raua, E rapu ana korua i te aha? Na ko ta raua meatanga ki a ia, E Rapi, ko te tikanga tenei ina whakamaoritia, E te Kaiwhaako, kei hea tou kainga?
And Jesus, turning round, saw them coming after him and said to them, What are you looking for? They said to him, Rabbi (which is to say, Master), where are you living?
39 Ka mea ia ki a raua, haere mai kia kite. Haere ana raua, a ka kite i tona wahi i noho ai, a noho ana i a ia i taua ra: ko te tekau hoki ia o nga haora.
He said to them, Come and see. They went with him then and saw where he was living; and they were with him all that day: it was then about the tenth hour of the day.
40 Ko Anaru, teina o Haimona Pita tetahi o taua tokorua i rongo nei ki a Hoani e korero ana, a aru ana i a ia.
Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two men who, hearing what John said, went after Jesus.
41 Ko ia kua kite wawe i tona tuakana ake, i a Haimona, ka mea ki a ia, Kua kitea e maua te Mihaia, ko te tikanga tenei ina whakamaoritia, ko te Karaiti.
Early in the morning he came across his brother and said to him, We have made discovery! It is the Messiah! (which is to say, the Christ).
42 Na ka arahina mai ia e ia ki a Ihu. A ka titiro a Ihu ki a ia, ka mea, Ko Haimona koe, ko te tama a Hona: me hua koe ko Kipa: tona whakamaoritanga ko Pita, ara ko Kohatu.
And he took him to Jesus. Looking at him fixedly Jesus said, You are Simon, the son of John; your name will be Cephas (which is to say, Peter).
43 I te aonga ake ka mea a Ihu kia haere ki Kariri, a ka kite i a Piripi: a ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, E aru i ahau.
The day after this, Jesus had a desire to go into Galilee. He came across Philip and said to him, Come and be my disciple.
44 Na ko Piripi no Petahaira, no te pa o Anaru raua ko Pita.
Now Philip's town was Beth-saida, where Andrew and Peter came from.
45 Ka kite a Piripi i a Natanahira, ka mea ki a ia, Kua kitea e matou a ia, mona nei te tuhituhi a Mohi i roto i te ture, ta nga poropiti hoki, a Ihu o Nahareta te tama a Hohepa.
Philip came across Nathanael and said to him, We have made a discovery! It is he of whom Moses, in the law, and the prophets were writing, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
46 Na ka mea a Natanahira ki a ia, E puta koia tetahi mea pai i Nahareta? ka mea a Piripi ki a ia, haere mai kia kite.
Nazareth! said Nathanael, Is it possible for any good to come out of Nazareth? Philip said to him, Come and see.
47 Ka kite a Ihu i a Natanahira e haere ana mai ki a ia, ka puaki tana kupu mona, Na he tino tangata no Iharaira, kahore ona tinihanga.
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him and said of him, See, here is a true son of Israel in whom there is nothing false.
48 Ka mea a Natanahira ki a ia, No hea koe i matau ai ki ahau? Ka whakahoki a Ihu ki a ia, ka mea, I te mea kiano koe i karangatia e Piripi, i a koe ano i raro i te piki, i kite ahau i a koe.
Nathanael said to him, Where did you get knowledge of me? In answer Jesus said, Before Philip was talking with you, while you were still under the fig-tree, I saw you.
49 Na ka whakahoki a Natanahira, ka mea ki a ia, E Rapi, ko te Tama koe a te Atua, ko te Kingi koe o Iharaira.
Nathanael said to him, Rabbi, you are the Son of God, you are King of Israel!
50 Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ia, No taku meatanga ki a koe, I kite ahau i a koe i raro i te piki, i whakapono ai koe? rahi atu i enei nga mea e kitea e koe.
In answer Jesus said to him, You have faith because I said to you, I saw you under the fig-tree. You will see greater things than these.
51 I mea ano ia ki a ia, He pono, he pono tenei kupu aku ki a koutou, Tera koutou e kite i te rangi e tuwhera ana, i nga anahera a te Atua e piki ake ana, e heke iho ana ki te Tama a te tangata.
And he said to him, Truly I say to you all, You will see heaven opening and God's angels going up and coming down on the Son of man.
