1 I n the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

I te timatanga te Kupu, i te Atua te Kupu, ko te Atua ano te Kupu.

2 T he same was in the beginning with God.

I te Atua ano tenei Kupu i te timatanga.

3 A ll things were made through him; and without him was not anything made that hath been made.

Nana nga mea katoa i hanga; kahore hoki tetahi mea i kore te hanga e ia o nga mea i hanga.

4 I n him was life; and the life was the light of men.

I a ia te ora; ko te ora te marama mo nga tangata.

5 A nd the light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness apprehended it not.

I roto i te pouri te marama e whiti ana; heoi kihai i mau i te pouri.

6 T here came a man, sent from God, whose name was John.

I tonoa mai he tangata e te Atua, ko Hoani tona ingoa.

7 T he same came for witness, that he might bear witness of the light, that all might believe through him.

I haere mai ia hei kaiwhakaatu, hei whakaatu mo te marama, kia meinga ai e ia nga tangata katoa kia whakapono.

8 H e was not the light, but came that he might bear witness of the light.

Ehara ia i te marama, engari i haere mai hei kaiwhakaatu mo te marama.

9 T here was the true light, even the light which lighteth every man, coming into the world.

Ko te marama pono tera, ara ko te marama e marama ai nga tangata katoa e haere mai ana ki te ao.

10 H e was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world knew him not.

I te ao ia, i hanga ano e ia te ao, a kihai te ao i mohio ki a ia.

11 H e came unto his own, and they that were his own received him not.

I haere mai ia ki ona, a kihai ona i manako ki a ia.

12 B ut as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, even to them that believe on his name:

Tena ko te hunga i manako ki a ia i tukua e ia ki a ratou nga tikanga e meinga ai ratou hei tamariki ma te Atua, ara ki te hunga e whakapono ana ki tona ingoa:

13 w ho were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

Ki te hunga ehara nei i te toto, ehara i ta te kikokiko i pai ai, ehara i ta te tangata i pai ai, engari na te Atua i whanau ai.

14 A nd the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth.

I whakakikokikoa te Kupu, a noho ana i a matou, i kite ano matou i tona kororia he kororia e rite ana ki to te Tama kotahi a te Matua, ki tonu i te aroha noa, i te pono.

15 J ohn beareth witness of him, and crieth, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that cometh after me is become before me: for he was before me.

I korerotia ia e Hoani; i karanga tera, i mea, Ko ia tenei i korerotia ra e ahau, Ko ia e haere mai ana i muri i ahau e meinga ana ki mua i ahau: no mua hoki ia i ahau.

16 F or of his fulness we all received, and grace for grace.

Kua riro hoki i a tatou katoa tetahi wahi o tona raneatanga, te aroha noa hono iho ki te aroha noa.

17 F or the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

Na Mohi hoki i homai te ture; ko te aroha noa me te pono i ahu mai i a Ihu Karaiti.

18 N o man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

Kahore ano he tangata i kite noa i te Atua; ko te Tama kotahi, kei te uma nei o te Matua, nana ia i whakapuaki.

19 A nd this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent unto him from Jerusalem priests and Levites to ask him, Who art thou?

Na ko te korero tenei a Hoani, i te tononga mai a nga Hurai i Hiruharama i nga tohunga nui ratou ko nga Riwaiti hei ui ki a ia, Ko wai koe?

20 A nd he confessed, and denied not; and he confessed, I am not the Christ.

Na ka whakina e ia, kihai i whakakahore, i whaki hoki, Ehara ahau i a te Karaiti.

21 A nd they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? And he saith, I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered, No.

A ka ui ratou ki a ia, Tena, pehea? Ko Iraia koe? Ka mea ia, Kahore. Ko te poropiti oti koe? Ka whakahokia e ia, Kahore.

22 T hey said therefore unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?

Na ka mea ratou ki a ia, Ko wai koia koe? Hei kupu whakahoki ma matou ki te hunga i tonoa mai ai matou. E pehea ano koe ki a koe?

23 H e said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said Isaiah the prophet.

Ka mea ia, he reo ahau no tetahi e karanga ana i te koraha, Whakatikaia te huarahi o te Ariki; he pera me ta Ihaia poropiti i mea ai.

24 A nd they had been sent from the Pharisees.

No nga Parihi hoki te hunga i tonoa mai ra.

25 A nd they asked him, and said unto him, Why then baptizest thou, if thou art not the Christ, neither Elijah, neither the prophet?

Na ka ui ratou ki a ia, ka mea ki a ia, He aha oti koe i iriiri ai, ki te mea ehara koe i a te Karaiti, ehara i a Iraia, ehara i te poropiti?

26 J ohn answered them, saying, I baptize in water: in the midst of you standeth one whom ye know not,

Na ka whakahoki a Hoani ki a ratou, ka mea, He iriiri taku ki te wai: otiia tena te tu na i waenganui i a koutou tetahi kahore e mohiotia e koutou:

27 e ven he that cometh after me, the latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to unloose.

Ko ia tenei e haere mai ana i muri i ahau kahore hoki ahau e tau hei wewete i te here o tona hu.

28 T hese things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

I meatia enei mea ki Petapara, kia tawahi atu o Horano, ki te wahi e iriiri ana a Hoani.

29 O n the morrow he seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God, that taketh away the sin of the world!

I te aonga ake ka kite ia i a Ihu e haere ana mai ki a ia, ka mea, na, te Reme a te Atua, hei waha atu i te hara o te ao!

30 T his is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man who is become before me: for he was before me.

Ko ia tenei i korero ai ahau, Kei te haere mai i muri i ahau tetahi tangata kua meinga ki mua i ahua; no mua hoki ia i ahau.

31 A nd I knew him not; but that he should be made manifest to Israel, for this cause came I baptizing in water.

A kahore ahau i matau ki a ia; heoi hei whakakite i a ia ki a Iharaira, i haere mai ai ahau me taku iriiri ki te wai.

32 A nd John bare witness, saying, I have beheld the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven; and it abode upon him.

Na ka whakaatu a Hoani, ka mea, I kite ahau i te Wairua e heke iho ana i te rangi, ano he kukupa, a noho ana i runga i a ia.

33 A nd I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize in water, he said unto me, Upon whomsoever thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and abiding upon him, the same is he that baptizeth in the Holy Spirit.

A kahore ahau i matau ki a ia: engari i ki mai ki ahau te kaitono mai i ahau ki te iriiri ki te wai, Ko te tangata e kite ai koe i te Wairua e heke iho ana, e noho ana ki runga ki a ia, ko ia tena te kaiiriiri ki te Wairua Tapu.

34 A nd I have seen, and have borne witness that this is the Son of God.

A kua kite ahau, kua whakaatu nei hoki, ko te Tama tenei a te Atua.

35 A gain on the morrow John was standing, and two of his disciples;

I te aonga ake i te tu ano a Hoani me ana akonga tokorua;

36 a nd he looked upon Jesus as he walked, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God!

Na ka titiro ia ki a Ihu e haere ana, ka mea, na, te Reme a te Atua!

37 A nd the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.

A ka rongo nga akonga tokorua ki a ia e korero ana, a aru ana raua i a Ihu.

38 A nd Jesus turned, and beheld them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? And they said unto him, Rabbi (which is to say, being interpreted, Teacher), where abideth thou?

A ka tahuri a Ihu, ka kite i a raua e aru ana, ka mea ia ki a raua, E rapu ana korua i te aha? Na ko ta raua meatanga ki a ia, E Rapi, ko te tikanga tenei ina whakamaoritia, E te Kaiwhaako, kei hea tou kainga?

39 H e saith unto them, Come, and ye shall see. They came therefore and saw where he abode; and they abode with him that day: it was about the tenth hour.

Ka mea ia ki a raua, haere mai kia kite. Haere ana raua, a ka kite i tona wahi i noho ai, a noho ana i a ia i taua ra: ko te tekau hoki ia o nga haora.

40 O ne of the two that heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

Ko Anaru, teina o Haimona Pita tetahi o taua tokorua i rongo nei ki a Hoani e korero ana, a aru ana i a ia.

41 H e findeth first his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messiah (which is, being interpreted, Christ).

Ko ia kua kite wawe i tona tuakana ake, i a Haimona, ka mea ki a ia, Kua kitea e maua te Mihaia, ko te tikanga tenei ina whakamaoritia, ko te Karaiti.

42 H e brought him unto Jesus. Jesus looked upon him, and said, Thou art Simon the son of John: thou shalt be called Cephas (which is by interpretation, Peter).

Na ka arahina mai ia e ia ki a Ihu. A ka titiro a Ihu ki a ia, ka mea, Ko Haimona koe, ko te tama a Hona: me hua koe ko Kipa: tona whakamaoritanga ko Pita, ara ko Kohatu.

43 O n the morrow he was minded to go forth into Galilee, and he findeth Philip: and Jesus saith unto him, Follow me.

I te aonga ake ka mea a Ihu kia haere ki Kariri, a ka kite i a Piripi: a ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, E aru i ahau.

44 N ow Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.

Na ko Piripi no Petahaira, no te pa o Anaru raua ko Pita.

45 P hilip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

Ka kite a Piripi i a Natanahira, ka mea ki a ia, Kua kitea e matou a ia, mona nei te tuhituhi a Mohi i roto i te ture, ta nga poropiti hoki, a Ihu o Nahareta te tama a Hohepa.

46 A nd Nathanael said unto him, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.

Na ka mea a Natanahira ki a ia, E puta koia tetahi mea pai i Nahareta? ka mea a Piripi ki a ia, haere mai kia kite.

47 J esus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!

Ka kite a Ihu i a Natanahira e haere ana mai ki a ia, ka puaki tana kupu mona, Na he tino tangata no Iharaira, kahore ona tinihanga.

48 N athanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.

Ka mea a Natanahira ki a ia, No hea koe i matau ai ki ahau? Ka whakahoki a Ihu ki a ia, ka mea, I te mea kiano koe i karangatia e Piripi, i a koe ano i raro i te piki, i kite ahau i a koe.

49 N athanael answered him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art King of Israel.

Na ka whakahoki a Natanahira, ka mea ki a ia, E Rapi, ko te Tama koe a te Atua, ko te Kingi koe o Iharaira.

50 J esus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee underneath the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.

Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ia, No taku meatanga ki a koe, I kite ahau i a koe i raro i te piki, i whakapono ai koe? rahi atu i enei nga mea e kitea e koe.

51 A nd he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

I mea ano ia ki a ia, He pono, he pono tenei kupu aku ki a koutou, Tera koutou e kite i te rangi e tuwhera ana, i nga anahera a te Atua e piki ake ana, e heke iho ana ki te Tama a te tangata.
