Sione 1
1 Naʻe ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻae Folofola, pea naʻe ʻi he ʻOtua ʻae Folofola, pea ko e ʻOtua ʻae Folofola,
In the beginning was that Word, and that Word was with God, and that Word was God.
2 Ko ia ia naʻe ʻi he kamataʻanga mo e ʻOtua.
This same was in the beginning with God.
3 Naʻe ngaohi ʻe ia ʻae meʻa kotoa pē; pea naʻe ʻikai ha meʻa ʻe ngaohi kae ʻiate ia pe.
All things were made by it, and without it was made nothing that was made.
4 Naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae moʻui; pea ko e moʻui ko e maama ia ʻoe tangata.
In it was life, and that life was the light of men.
5 Pea naʻe ulo ʻae maama ʻi he poʻuli; ka naʻe ʻikai maʻu ia ʻe he poʻuli.
And that light shineth in the darkenesse, and the darkenesse comprehended it not.
6 Naʻe ai ha tangata naʻe fekau mei he ʻOtua, ko Sione hono hingoa.
There was a man sent from God, whose name was Iohn.
7 Naʻe haʻu ia ko e fakamoʻoni, ke fakamoʻoni ki he Maama, koeʻuhi ke tui ʻiate ia ʻae kakai kotoa pē.
This same came for a witnesse, to beare witnesse of that light, that all men through him might beleeue.
8 Naʻe ʻikai ko e Maama ko ia ia, ka ko e fakamoʻoni ki he Maama ko ia.
He was not that light, but was sent to beare witnesse of that light.
9 Ko e Maama moʻoni ia, ʻoku ne fakamaama ki he tangata kotoa pē ʻoku haʻu ki māmani.
This was that true light, which lighteth euery man that commeth into the world.
10 Naʻe ʻi māmani ia, pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe ia ʻa māmani, ka naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ia ʻe māmani.
He was in the world, and the worlde was made by him: and the worlde knewe him not.
11 Naʻe haʻu ia ki hono kakai, ka naʻe ʻikai maʻu ia ʻe hono kakai.
He came vnto his owne, and his owne receiued him not.
12 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:
But as many as receiued him, to them he gaue prerogatiue to be the sonnes of God, euen to them that beleeue in his Name.
13 ʻAia naʻe ʻikai fanauʻi ʻi he toto, pe ʻi he loto ʻoe kakano, pe ʻi he loto ʻoe tangata, ka ʻi he ʻOtua.
Which are borne not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of ye wil of man, but of God.
14 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.
And that Word was made flesh, and dwelt among vs, (and we sawe the glorie thereof, as the glorie of the onely begotten Sonne of the Father) full of grace and trueth.
15 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.’
Iohn bare witnesse of him, and cryed, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that commeth after me, was before me: for he was better then I.
16 Pea kuo maʻu ʻekitautolu kotoa pē mei hono fonu, mo e ʻaloʻofa ki he ʻaloʻofa.
And of his fulnesse haue all we receiued, and grace for grace.
17 He naʻe foaki ʻae fono ʻia Mōsese, ka ko e ʻaloʻofa mo e moʻoni naʻe haʻu ʻia Sisu Kalaisi.
For the Lawe was giuen by Moses, but grace, and trueth came by Iesus Christ.
18 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].
No man hath seene God at any time: that onely begotten Sonne, which is in the bosome of the Father, he hath declared him.
19 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?”
Then this is the record of Iohn, when the Iewes sent Priestes and Leuites from Hierusalem, to aske him, Who art thou?
20 Pea naʻe fakahā ʻe ia, ʻo ʻikai fakafisi; kae fakahā pe, ʻOku ʻikai ko e Kalaisi au.
And he confessed and denied not, and said plainely, I am not that Christ.
21 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.”
And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he said, I am not. Art thou that Prophet? And he answered, No.
22 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?”
Then said they vnto him, Who art thou, that we may giue an answere to them that sent vs? What sayest thou of thy selfe?
23 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.
He said, I am the voyce of him that cryeth in the wildernesse, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the Prophet Esaias.
24 Pea naʻe ʻoe kau Fālesi ʻakinautolu naʻe fekau.
Nowe they which were sent, were of the Pharises.
25 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?”
And they asked him, and saide vnto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, neither Elias, nor that Prophet?
26 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;
Iohn answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there is one among you, whom ye knowe not.
27 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.”
He it is that commeth after me, which was before me, whose shoe latchet I am not worthie to vnloose.
28 Naʻe fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni ʻi Petapala ʻituʻa Sioatani, ʻaia naʻe fai papitaiso ai ʻa Sione.
These things were done in Bethabara beyond Iordan, where Iohn did baptize.
29 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.
The next day Iohn, seeth Iesus comming vnto him, and saith, Beholde that Lambe of God, which taketh away the sinne of the world.
30 Ko eni ia naʻaku pehē ai, ‘ʻOku haʻu fakamuimui ʻiate au ha tangata ʻaia ʻoku lahi ʻiate au: he naʻe muʻa ia ʻiate au.’
This is he of whom I saide, After me commeth a man, which was before me: for he was better then I.
31 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.”
And I knewe him not: but because he should be declared to Israel, therefore am I come, baptizing with water.
32 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.’
So Iohn bare recorde, saying, I behelde that Spirit come downe from heauen, like a doue, and it abode vpon him,
33 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.’
And I knewe him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, he saide vnto me, Vpon whom thou shalt see that Spirit come downe, and tary still on him, that is he which baptizeth with the holy Ghost.
34 Pea naʻaku mamata, pea fakamoʻoni ko e ʻAlo eni ʻoe ʻOtua.”
And I sawe, and bare record that this is that Sonne of God.
35 Pea ko e ʻaho naʻa na feholoi, naʻe tutuʻu ʻa Sione mo ʻene ākonga ʻe toko ua;
The next day, Iohn stoode againe, and two of his disciples.
36 Pea ne sio fakamamaʻu kia Sisu, ʻi heʻene ʻeveʻeva, pea pehē ʻe ia, “Vakai ki he Lami ʻae ʻOtua!”
And he behelde Iesus walking by, and said, Beholde that Lambe of God.
37 Pea fanongo ki heʻene lea ʻae ongo ākonga, pea na muimui ʻia Sisu.
And the two disciples heard him speake, and followed Iesus.
38 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?”
Then Iesus turned about, and saw them follow, and saide vnto them, What seeke ye? And they saide vnto him, Rabbi (which is to say by interpretation, Master) where dwellest thou?
39 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.
He saide vnto them, Come, and see. They came and sawe where hee dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth houre.
40 Ko e tokotaha ʻo kinaua naʻe muimui kiate ia ʻi he fanongo kia Sione, ko ʻAnitelū, ko e tokoua ʻo Saimone Pita.
Andrew, Simon Peters brother, was one of the two which had heard it of Iohn, and that followed him.
41 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.”)
The same founde his brother Simon first, and said vnto him, We haue founde that Messias, which is by interpretation, that Christ.
42 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.”)
And he brought him to Iesus. And Iesus behelde him, and saide, Thou art Simon the sonne of Iona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, a stone.
43 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.”
The day following, Iesus woulde goe into Galile, and founde Philip, and said vnto him, Followe me.
44 Naʻe mei Petesaita ʻa Filipe, ko e potu ʻo ʻAnitelū mo Pita.
Nowe Philip was of Bethsaida, the citie of Andrew and Peter.
45 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.”
Philippe founde Nathanael, and saide vnto him, Wee haue founde him of whom Moses did write in the Lawe, and the Prophetes, Iesus that sonne of Ioseph, that was of Nazareth.
46 Pea lea ʻa Nātaniela kiate ia, “ʻE tupu ha lelei mei Nāsaleti?” Pea pehē ʻe Filipe kiate ia, “Haʻu ʻo mamata.”
Then Nathanael sayde vnto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saide to him, Come, and see.
47 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!”
Iesus sawe Nathanael comming to him, and saide of him, Beholde in deede an Israelite, in whom is no guile.
48 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.”
Nathanael sayde vnto him, Whence knewest thou mee? Iesus answered, and sayd vnto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast vnder the figge tree, I sawe thee.
49 Pea lea ʻa Nātaniela, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Lāpai, ko e ʻAlo koe ʻoe ʻOtua; ko e Tuʻi koe ʻo ʻIsileli.”
Nathanael answered, and saide vnto him, Rabbi, thou art that Sonne of God: thou art that King of Israel.
50 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.”
Iesus answered, and sayde vnto him, Because I sayde vnto thee, I sawe thee vnder the figtree, beleeuest thou? thou shalt see greater things then these.
51 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.”
And he saide vnto him, Verely, verely I say vnto you, hereafter shall yee see heauen open, and the Angels of God ascending, and descending vpon that Sonne of man.
