Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1In those days, John the Baptizer came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, saying,
1I A mau la la i hele mai ai o Ioane Bapetite, e ao ana ma ka waonahele i Iudea, i ka i ana ae,
2“Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!”
2E mihi oukou, no ka mea, ua kokoke mai nei ke aupuni o ka lani.
3For this is he who was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, make the way of the Lord ready! Make his paths straight!”
3Oia 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.
4Now John himself wore clothing made of camel’s hair with a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey.
4Ua 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.
5Then people from Jerusalem, all of Judea, and all the region around the Jordan went out to him.
5Alaila, 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.
6They were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.
6A bapetizoia iho la lakou e ia iloko o Ioredane, me ka hai ana mai i ko lakou hewa.
7But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for his baptism, he said to them, “You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
7A 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?
8Therefore produce fruit worthy of repentance!
8E hua ae oukou i ka hua e ku i ka mihi.
9Don’t think to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham for our father,’ for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.
9Mai 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.
10Even now the ax lies at the root of the trees. Therefore every tree that doesn’t produce good fruit is cut down, and cast into the fire.
10Ano 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.
11“I indeed baptize you in water for repentance, but he who comes after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit.
11Owau 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.
12His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor. He will gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.”
12Aia 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.
13Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him.
13Alaila, hele mai la o Iesu, mai Galilaia mai i Ioredaue io Ioane la, e bapetizoia'i e ia.
14But John would have hindered him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and you come to me?”
14Hoole 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?
15But Jesus, answering, said to him, “Allow it now, for this is the fitting way for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed him.
15Olelo 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.
16Jesus, when he was baptized, went up directly from the water: and behold, the heavens were opened to him. He saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming on him.
16A 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.
17Behold, a voice out of the heavens said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”
17Aia 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.
