Ioane 3
1 O KEKAHI kanaka o ka poe Parisaio, o Nikodemo kona inoa, he alii o na Iudaio:
There was a Pharisee, a man named 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.
This man came to Jesus by night, and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher, for 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 told him, “Most assuredly, I tell you, unless one is born again, that person can’t 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 asked Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? He can’t go back into his mother’s womb 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 tell you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, that one can’t 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 is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of 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.
Don’t marvel that I told you, ‘You must be born again.’
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 wants to, and you hear its sound, but can’t tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
9 Olelo aku la o Nikodemo, i aku la, Pehea la e hiki ai keia mau mea.
Nicodemus asked 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?
“Are you Israel’s teacher,” asked Jesus, “and yet you don’t 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 tell you, we speak what we know and testify what we have seen, and you don’t receive our witness.
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 don’t believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
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 ever gone up into Heaven except the one who came from Heaven — the Son of Man.
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;
Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,
that everyone who believes in Him should not die, but 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)
For God so sincerely loved the world that He gave His only born Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting 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 didn’t send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world 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.
Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever doesn’t believe is condemned already because that person has not believed in the name of God’s only Son.
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.
This is the condemnation, that light has come into the world, but people sincerely loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
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.
Everyone who practices evil hates the light, and doesn’t come to the light, for fear that their deeds will 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.
Whoever practices the truth comes to the light to show clearly that their deeds have been done with 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 this, Jesus and His disciples went out into the countryside of Judea, where He remained 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.
John was also baptizing at Aenon, near Salim, because there was plenty of water there, and people kept coming to be baptized.
24 No ka mea, aole i hahaoia o Ioane iloko a ka halepaahao ia ma nawa.
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.
There were some questions between some of John’s disciples and the Jews 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.
They came to John and told him, “Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, that you have testified about — look, 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 replied, “A man can receive nothing, unless it’s 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’m 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.
The bride belongs to the bridegroom. The friend who attends the bridegroom waits and listens for him, and rejoices when he hears the bridegroom’s voice. This joy of mine is now made complete.
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 of the Earth belongs to the Earth 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.
He testifies about what He has seen and heard, but no one accepts 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 man who has accepted His testimony has certified that God is truthful.
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.
The one that God has sent speaks God’s words, for God gives the Spirit without 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 sincerely loves the Son, and has given everything 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)
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son won’t see life, for God’s wrath remains on that person.” (aiōnios g166)
