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,
Now in those days, John the Baptist arrived, preaching in the desert 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 has drawn 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.
For this is the one who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah, saying: “A voice crying out in the desert: Prepare the way of the Lord. Make straight his paths.”
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.
Now the same John had a garment made from the hair of camels, and a leather belt around his waist. And 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.
Then Jerusalem, and all Judea, and the entire region around the Jordan went out to him.
6 A bapetizoia iho la lakou e ia iloko o Ioredane, me ka hai ana mai i ko lakou hewa.
And they were baptized by him in the Jordan, acknowledging their sins.
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?
Then, seeing many of the Pharisees and Sadducees arriving for his baptism, he said to them: “Progeny of vipers, who warned you to flee from the approaching wrath?
8 E hua ae oukou i ka hua e ku i ka mihi.
Therefore, produce fruit worthy of 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 choose to say within yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that God has the power to raise up sons to Abraham from these stones.
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.
For even now the axe has been placed at the root of the trees. Therefore, every tree that does not produce good fruit shall be cut down and cast 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.
Indeed, I baptize you with water for repentance, but he who will come after me is more powerful than me. I am not worthy to carry his shoes. He will baptize you with the fire of the Holy Spirit.
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 fan is in his hand. And he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor. And he will gather his wheat into the barn. But the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.”
13 Alaila, hele mai la o Iesu, mai Galilaia mai i Ioredaue io Ioane la, e bapetizoia'i e ia.
Then Jesus came from Galilee, to John at the Jordan, in order to be baptized by him.
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 refused him, saying, “I ought to be baptized by you, and yet 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.
And responding, Jesus said to him: “Permit this for now. For in this way it is fitting for us to fulfill all justice.” Then he allowed 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.
And Jesus, having been baptized, ascended from the water immediately, and behold, the heavens were opened to him. And he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and alighting 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 behold, there was a voice from heaven, saying: “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
