1 ¶ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with the 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 the God.

I te Atua ano tenei Kupu i te timatanga.

3 A ll things were made by him, and without him was not any thing made that was 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 ¶ And the light shines 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 was 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 a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.

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 was sent to bear witness of the Light.

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

9 T hat Word was the true Light, which lightens every man that comes into this 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 by 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 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 power to become sons 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 are not born of blood, nor of the will of 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 was made flesh and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of 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 ¶ John bore witness of him and cried, saying, This is he of whom I spoke, He that comes after me is preferred 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 A nd of his fullness we have 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, but the grace and the truth of God came through Jesus, the 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 has seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he has 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 ¶ And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem 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, but 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 said, 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 hen said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to those 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 the prophet Isaiah.

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 those who were sent were of the Pharisees.

No nga Parihi hoki te hunga i tonoa mai ra.

25 A nd they asked him and said unto him, Why dost thou baptize then if thou art not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor 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 with water, but there stands one among you, 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 h e it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe’s latchet 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 Bethabara beyond 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 ¶ The next day John saw Jesus coming unto him and said, Behold the Lamb of God, who takes 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 comes a man who is preferred 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, therefore am I come baptizing with 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 gave testimony, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, 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 with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and abiding on him, the same is he who baptizes with 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 given testimony that this is the Son of God.

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

35 A nd again the next day John stood, and two of his disciples,

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

36 a nd looking upon Jesus as he walked, he said, Behold the Lamb of God!

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

37 ¶ And the two disciples heard him speak and followed Jesus.

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

38 T hen Jesus turned and saw them following and said unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi (which is to say, being interpreted, Master), where dwellest 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 said unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt and abode with him that day, for 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 who heard John speak and followed him was Andrew, brother of Simon Peter.

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 first found his own brother Simon and said unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the 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 A nd he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jonah: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.

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 ¶ The day following Jesus desired to go forth into Galilee and found Philip and said 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 of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

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

45 P hilip found Nathanael and said 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 said 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 said of him, Behold a true Israelite, 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 said unto him, From where dost thou know 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 and said unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the 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 under 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 said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see the heaven open 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.
