Matthew 3
1 And in those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea
I A mau la la i hele mai ai o Ioane Bapetite, e ao ana ma ka waonahele i Iudea, i ka i ana ae,
2 and saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near."
E mihi oukou, no ka mea, ua kokoke mai nei ke aupuni o ka lani.
3 For this is he who was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying, "The voice of one who calls out in the wilderness, 'Prepare the way of the Lord. Make his roads straight.'"
Oia no ka mea i oleloia mai e ke kaula e Isaia, i ka i ana mai, Ka leo o ka mea e kala ana ma ka waonahele, E hoomakaukau oukou i alanui no Iehova, e hana i kona mau kuamoo i pololei.
4 Now John himself wore clothing made of camel's hair and with a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey.
Ua aahu iho la o ua Ioane la i ke kapa hulu kamelo, a he kaei ili ma kona puhaka; a he uhini kaua ai, a me ka meli o ka nahelehele.
5 Then people from Jerusalem, all of Judea, and all the region around the Jordan went out to him,
Alaila, hele aku la ko Ierusalema a me ko Iudea a pau io na la, a me ko na wahi a pau e kokoke ana ma Ioredane.
6 and they were baptized by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins.
A bapetizoia iho la lakou e ia iloko o Ioredane, me ka hai ana mai i ko lakou hewa.
7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for his baptism he said to them, "You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
A ike aku la ia, he nui na Parisaio a me na Sadukaio i hele mai e bapetizoia'i e ia, i aku la oia ia lakou, E ka hanauna moonihoawa, nawai oukou i ao aku e holo i pakele ai i ka iuaina e kau mai ana?
8 Therefore bring forth fruit worthy of repentance,
E hua ae oukou i ka hua e ku i ka mihi.
9 and do not think to yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our father,' for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.
Mai manao oukou e ohumu iloko o oukou iho, o Aberahama ko kakou kupuna; no ka mea, ke i aku nei au ia oukou, e hiki no i ke Akua ke hoala ae mai keia mau pohaku mai i poe mamo na Aberahama.
10 "Even now the axe lies at the root of the trees. Therefore, every tree that does not bring forth good fruit is cut down, and cast into the fire.
Ano hoi, ke waiho nei ke koi lipi ma ke kumu o na laau, a o kela laau o keia laau e hua ole mai ana i ka hua maikai, e kua ia ilalo a e kiolaia'ku ia i ke ahi.
11 I indeed baptize you in water for repentance, but the one who comes after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and with fire.
Owau no ke bapetizo aku nei ia oukou i ka wai, no ka mihi; aka, o ka mea e hele mai ana mahope o'u, he nui aku kona mana i ko'u, aole au e pono ke lawe i kona mau kamaa; nana oukou e bapetizo aku i ka Uhane Hemolele a me ke ahi.
12 His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor. He will gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire."
Aia no ma kona lima kana peahi, a e hoomaemae pono ana ia i kana huaai; a e hoiliili hoi ia i kana palaoa iloko o ka hale papaa, a e hoopau aku i ka opala i ke ahi pio ole.
13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him.
Alaila, hele mai la o Iesu, mai Galilaia mai i Ioredaue io Ioane la, e bapetizoia'i e ia.
14 But John would have hindered him, saying, "I need to be baptized by you, and you come to me?"
Hoole aku la o Ioane ia ia, i aku ia, Owau kau e bapetizo mai e pono ai; a ke hele mai nei anei oe io'u nei?
15 But Jesus, answering, said to him, "Allow it to happen now, for this is the proper way for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he allowed him.
Olelo mai la o Iesu, i mai la ia ia, E ae mai oe ano, no ka mea, pela kaua e pono ai ke malama i ka pono a pau: alaila, ae aku la kela ia ia.
16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up directly from the water; and look, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming on him.
A bapetizoia o Iesu, alaila, pii koke mai la ia mai ka wai mai; aia hoi, hamama ae la ka lani nona, a ikea aku la ka Uhane o ke Akua e iho mai ana me ho mainu nunu la, a kau iho la maluna iho ona.
17 And look, a voice out of the heavens said, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased."
Aia hoi, he leo mai ka lani mai, e i mai ana, O ka'u Keiki punahele keia, ka mea a'u i olioli loa ai.
