The original proof (pdf) is in

J. von Neumann, "Proof of the quasi-ergodic hypothesis" Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA , 18 (1932) pp. 70–82

A simpler proof is due to Halmos, found in

P.R. Halmos, "Lectures on ergodic theory" , Math. Soc. Japan (1956)

I believe this book is a reprinting of those lectures.
