Mataio 3
1 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,
In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea
2 E mihi oukou, no ka mea, ua kokoke mai nei ke aupuni o ka lani.
and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.”
3 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.
This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah: “A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for Him.’”
4 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.
John wore a garment of camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey.
5 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.
People went out to him from Jerusalem and all Judea and the whole region around the Jordan.
6 A bapetizoia iho la lakou e ia iloko o Ioredane, me ka hai ana mai i ko lakou hewa.
Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.
7 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?
But when John saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his place of baptism, he said to them, “You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
8 E hua ae oukou i ka hua e ku i ka mihi.
Produce fruit, then, in keeping with repentance.
9 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.
And do not presume to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham.
10 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.
The axe lies ready at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.
11 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.
I baptize you with water for repentance, but after me will come One more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.
12 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.
His winnowing fork is in His hand to clear His threshing floor and to gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
13 Alaila, hele mai la o Iesu, mai Galilaia mai i Ioredaue io Ioane la, e bapetizoia'i e ia.
At that time Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John.
14 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?
But John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and do You come to me?”
15 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.
“Let it be so now,” Jesus replied. “It is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness in this way.” Then John permitted Him.
16 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.
As soon as Jesus was baptized, He went up out of the water. Suddenly the heavens were opened, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and resting on Him.
17 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.
And a voice from heaven said, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased!”
