Ioane 3
1 O KEKAHI kanaka o ka poe Parisaio, o Nikodemo kona inoa, he alii o na Iudaio:
Now there was a man among the Pharisees whose name was Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
2 Hele aku la ia io Iesu la i ka po, i aku la ia ia, E Rabi, ua ike makou he kumu oe i hele mai nei mai ke Akua mai: no ka mea, aole e hiki i kekahi kanaka ke hana i keia mau hana mana au e hana nei, ke ole ke Akua me ia.
The same went to Jesus at night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that you have come as a teacher from God, because no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him.”
3 Olelo mai la o Iesu ia ia, i mai la, Oiaio, he oiaio ka'u e olelo aku nei ia oe, Ina e hanau hou ole ia ke kanaka, aole e hiki ia ia ke ike aku i ke aupuni o ke Akua.
Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly I say to you, unless someone is begotten from Above, he is not able to see the kingdom of God.”
4 Ninau aka la o Nikodemo ia ia, Pehea la e hiki ai i ke kanaka ke hanauia i kona wa kahiko? e hiki anei ia ia ke komo hoa iloko o ka opu o kona makuwahine, a e hanauia mai?
Nicodemus says to Him: “How can a man be begotten, being old? He can't enter his mother's womb a second time and be born, can he?”
5 Olelo mai la o Iesu, Oiaio, he oiaio ka'u e olelo aku nei ia oe, Ina e hanau ole ia ke kanaka i ka wai, a me ka Uhane, aole e hiki ia ia ke komo iloko o ke aupuni o ke Akua.
Jesus answered: “Most assuredly I say to you, unless someone is begotten by water and Spirit he is not able to enter the kingdom of God.
6 O ka mea i hanauia na ke kino, he kino no ia; a o ka mea i hanauia na ka Uhane, he uhane ia.
That which has been begotten by the flesh is flesh, and that which has been begotten by the Spirit is spirit.
7 Mai kahaha kou naau i ka'u i olelo aku ai ia oe, E pau oukou i ka hanau hou e pono ai.
Do not be perplexed that I said to you, ‘You (pl) need to be begotten from Above.’
8 Ke pa nei ka makani i kana wahi i makemake ai, a lohe no oe i kona halulu, aole nae oe i ike i kana wahi i hele mai ai, aole hoi i kana wahi e hele aku ai: pela hoi na mea a pau i hanauia e ka Uhane.
The wind blows where it wishes, and you (sg) hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who has been begotten by the Spirit.”
9 Olelo aku la o Nikodemo, i aku la, Pehea la e hiki ai keia mau mea.
Nicodemus answered and said to Him, “How can these things be?”
10 Olelo mai la o Iesu, i mai la ia ia. He kumu oe na ka Iseraela, aole anei oe i ike ia mau mea?
Jesus answered and said to Him: “You are the teacher of Israel, yet you do not understand these things?
11 Oiaio, he oiaio ka'u olelo aku nei ia oe, O ka makou mea i ike ai, o ka makou ia e olelo nei, a o ka makou mea i nana'i, oia ka makou e hoike nei; aole hoi oukou i hoomaopopo i ka mea a makou e hoike nei.
Most assuredly I say to you, we speak what we know and testify to what we have seen, but you (pl) do not receive our testimony.
12 Ina ua oleie wau i na mea o keia ao, a manaoio ole oukou, pehea la oukou e manaoio ai, ke olelo wau ia oukou i na mea iloko o ka lani?
If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I should tell you the heavenly?
13 Aohe kanaka i pii iluna i ka lani, o ka mea wale no i iho mai, mai ka lani mai, o ke Keiki a ke kanaka, o ka mea iloko o ka lani.
No one has gone up into Heaven except the One who came down out of Heaven —the Son of the Man, who is in Heaven.
14 A e like me ka Mose kau ana i ka nahesa iluna ma ka waonahele, pela e pono ai ke Keiki a ke kanaka e kaulia'i;
Also, just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, just so the Son of the Man must be lifted up,
so that everyone who believes into Him should not be wasted, but should have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
16 No ka mea, na aloha nui mai ke Akua i ko ke ao nei, nolaila, ua haawi mai oia i kana Keiki hiwahiwa, i ole e make ka mea manaoio ia ia, aka, e loaa ia ia ke ola mau loa. (aiōnios g166)
Because God loved the world so much that He gave His only begotten Son, so that everyone who believes into Him should not be wasted, but should have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
17 Aole no hoi i hoouna mai ke Akua i kana Keiki i ke ao nei, i hoohewa'i oia i ko ke ao nei; aka, i ola'i ko ke ao nei ma o na la.
For God did not send His Son into the world in order to condemn the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him.
18 O ka mea manaoio ia ia, aole ia e hoahewaia; aka o ka mea manaoio ole, ua hoahewaia oia ano, i kona manaoio ole i ka inoa o ke Keiki hiwahiwa a ke Akua.
The one believing into Him is not condemned, but the one not believing has already been condemned, because he has not believed into the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 Eia ka mea i hoahewaia'i; ua hiki mai ka malamalama i ke ao nei, aka, ua makemake na kanaka i ka pouli, aole i ka malamalama, no ka mea, ua hewa na hana ana a lakou.
“Now this is the basis for the condemning, that the Light has come into the world, but the people loved the darkness rather than the Light, because their deeds were malignant.
20 O ka mea e hana ana i na mea ino, oia ke hoowahawaha i ka malamalama, aole hoi ia e hele mai i ka malamalama, o ikea auanei kana hana ana.
For whoever practices evil hates the Light and does not come to the Light, so that his deeds may not be exposed.
21 Aka, o ka mea o hana ana ma ka oiaio, oia ke hele mai i ka malamalama, i akaka ai kana hana ana, ua hanaia ma ka ke Akua.
But whoever does the truth comes to the Light so that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they are done in God.”
22 A mahope iho o keia mau mea, hele aku la o Iesu me kana poe haumana i ka aina o Iudea; a noho iho la ia ilaila me lakou, a bapetizo iho la.
After these things Jesus, with His disciples, went into the Judean countryside, and there He spent time with them and baptized.
23 A e bapetizo ana no hoi o Ioane ma Ainona e kokoke ana i Salima, no ka mea, ua nui ka wai malaila; a hele mai lakouu; a bapetizoia iho la.
Now John also was baptizing in Aenon, near Salem, because there was plenty of water there. And people were coming and being baptized;
24 No ka mea, aole i hahaoia o Ioane iloko a ka halepaahao ia ma nawa.
for John had not yet been thrown into prison.
25 Ia wa hoopaapaa ae la na haumana a Ioane me na Iudaio no ka hoomaemae ana.
Then some of John's disciples had an argument with a Judean about purification.
26 A hele aku la lakou io Ioane la, i aku la ia ia, E Rabi, o ka mea me oe ma kela kapa o Ioredane, nona au i hoike ai, aia hoi, ke bapetizo la oia, a ke hele nei na kanaka a pau io na la.
So they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, the One who was with you across the Jordan, about whom you have testified—well, here He is baptizing, and everyone is flocking to Him!”
27 Olelo mai la o Ioane, i mai la, Aole e hiki i ke kanaka ko lawe wale i kekahi mea, ke haawi ole ia mai ia nana mai ka lani moi.
John answered and said: “A person can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from Heaven.
28 O oukou no ko'u poe hoike i ka'u i olelo ai, Aole wau ka Mesia, aka, ua hoounaia mai au mamua ona.
You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but I have been sent ahead of Him.’
29 O ka mea nana ka wahine mare, o ke kane mare ia: aka, o ka hoaaloha o ke kane mare o ku ana, a e hoolohe ana ia ia, oia ke olioli nui i ka leo o ke kane mare. Ua loaa hoi ia'u keia olioli.
He who has the bride is the bridegroom, but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands by and hears him, has great joy at the bridegroom's voice. So this my joy has been fulfilled.
30 E mahuahua ana no oia, aka, e emi iho auanei hoi au.
He must increase, but I must decrease.
31 O ka mea noluna mai maluna ia o na mea a pau: o ka mea no ka honua, no ka honua ia, a no ka honua hoi kana olelo: o ka mea no ka lani mai, maluna ia o na mea a pau.
“He who comes from Above is above all; he who is from the earth is earthly, and speaks of the earth. He who comes from Heaven is above all.
32 O ka mea ana i ike ai, a i lohe ai hoi, oia kana e hoike ai; aole nae kekahi mea i malama i kana mea i hoike ai.
And to what He has seen and heard He testifies, yet no one receives His testimony.
33 O ka mea o malama i kana mea i hoike mai ai, oia ke ae mai, he oiaio ka ke Akua.
The one who receives His testimony certifies that God is true.
34 No ka mea, o ka ke Akua mea i hoouna mai ai, o ka ke Akua olelo kana e olelo ai: no ka mea, aole ke Akua e haawi liilii mai i ka Uhane ia ia.
For He whom God sent speaks God's words, because God does not give the Spirit by measure.
35 Ke aloha nei ka Makua i ke Keiki, a na haawi hoi ia i na mea a pau iloko o kona lima.
The Father loves the Son and has given all things into His hand.
36 O ka mea manaoio i ke Keiki, he ola mau loa kona: aka, o ka mea manaoio ole i ke Keiki, aole ia e ike i ke oia; e kau mai ana ka inaina o ke Akua maluna iho ona. (aiōnios g166)
The one believing into the Son has eternal life, but the one disobeying the Son will not see the Life, but the wrath of God will remain upon him.” (aiōnios g166)
