Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1So then, men ought to regard us as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.
1ARAMAJ akan en wia kin kit papa en Krijtuj o jaunkoa pan me rir akan ren Kot.
2Now it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.
2A iaduen jaunkoa kan? Amen amen en lelapok.
3I care very little, however, if I am judged by you or by any human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself.
3I jota injenoki, me komail de kapun en aramaj kajaui ia da. Pein nai pil jota kajaui ia da.
4My conscience is clear, but that does not vindicate me. It is the Lord who judges me.
4Pwe jota me i pein aja, a kaidin met, me i pun kila, a Kaun o me kin kajaui ia da.
5Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men’s hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God.
5Ari, komail depa kajaui okot me mon a anjau, a lao Kaun o pan kotido, me pan kajanjale dan marain okiok en me rotorot akan o kadiarokada lamalam en nan monioin akan, amen amen ap pan indandeki ren Kot.
6Brothers, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us not to go beyond what is written. Then you will not take pride in one man over another.
6Ri ai kan, mepukat i kin inda duen nai o Apoloj, pwe komail en ale jan kit, pwe amen ender lamelame, me a jiki jan me intinidier, pwe komail ender aklapalapaki amen, ap palian me teio.
7For who makes you so superior? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?
7Pwe ij me mone kin uk? A jota, me mi re om, me koe jota aleer. A ma koe aleer meakaroj, menda koe kin juaiki, likamata koe jota aleer?
8Already you have all you want. Already you have become rich. Without us, you have become kings. How I wish you really were kings, so that we might be kings with you!
8Komail medier o kapwapwalar, o komail kin kaunda, ap jota ale jan kit. I men, komail en kaunda, pwe kit ap pil pan ian komail kaunda.
9For it seems to me that God has displayed us apostles at the end of the procession, like prisoners appointed for death. We have become a spectacle to the whole world, to angels as well as to men.
9Pwe i lamelame, me Kot kotin wiai on kit wanporon akan, en tikitik melel, me mau on mela, pwe kit wialar men kapuriamui eu ni jappa mon tounlan o aramaj akan.
10We are fools for Christ, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You are honored, but we are dishonored.
10Kit me jon en pweipwei pweki Krijtuj, a komail me lolekonki Krijtuj; kit me luet, a komail me kelail; komail me indand mau, a kit me indand jued.
11To this very hour we are hungry and thirsty, we are poorly clothed, we are brutally treated, we are homeless.
11Kokodo lel auer met kit mm manadar, o pil men nim piladar, o kilijo, o je kin kalokolok, o jota deu at.
12We work hard with our own hands. When we are vilified, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it;
12O dodok ni pein pa at; kit me kalok jued, a je kin kapaiada, kit me kalokolok, a je kin nenen la; Ni at pakaraun mal, kit kin kapakap.
13when we are slandered, we answer gently. Up to this moment we have become the scum of the earth, the refuse of the world.
13Kit wialar tatan kid o kopataun aramaj karoj.
14I am not writing this to shame you, but to warn you as my beloved children.
14I intiniedier mepukat kaidin pwen kanamenok komail, a pwen panaui komail nai jeri kompok kan.
15Even if you have ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.
15Pwe ma omail jaunpadak pan Krijtuj me nen, nan jam omail akan me jota non toto, pwe nai me kaipwi komail ren Krijtuj Iejuj ki ronamau.
16Therefore I urge you to imitate me.
16I ari poeki re omail komail en idauen ia do.
17That is why I have sent you Timothy, my beloved and faithful child in the Lord. He will remind you of my way of life in Christ Jesus, which is exactly what I teach everywhere in every church.
17Pwe i me i kadarki won komail Timoteuj nai jeri kompoke o lelapok pan Kaun o pwen kataman kin komail duen al ai kan pan Krijtuj, duen me i kawewedar ni momodijou karoj.
18Some of you have become arrogant, as if I were not coming to you.
18Akai komail me aklapalap likomata i jota pan pwar won komail.
19But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord is willing, and then I will find out not only what these arrogant people are saying, but what power they have.
19A i pan pwar won komail madan, ma Kaun o pan kotin kupura. I ap pan kilan kaidin padak en me aklapalap akan, a me manaman.
20For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power.
20Pwe wein Kot jota mi ni kajoi a ni manaman.
21Which do you prefer? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and with a gentle spirit?
21Da me komail mauki? I en pwar won komail wa jokon, de limpok o nen en opampap?
