Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1So when we could bear it no longer, we were willing to be left on our own in Athens.
1I ME je jolar kak nenen la, pwe je maukida kelepala nan Aten,
2We sent Timothy, our brother and fellow worker for God in the gospel of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you in your faith,
2Ap kadar won komail Timoteuj ri atail o papan Kot ni ronamau en Krijtuj, pwen katene komail o kamait komail la iran omail pojon.
3so that none of you would be shaken by these trials. For you know that we are destined for this.
3Pwe jota amen en luet kila kamekam wet, pwe pein komail aja, mepukat kiloledier on kitail.
4Indeed, when we were with you, we kept warning you that we would suffer persecution; and as you know, it has come to pass.
4Pwe ni at mimi re omail, je kokopki don komail kamekam; duen me komail aja.
5For this reason, when I could bear it no longer, I sent to find out about your faith, for fear that the tempter had somehow tempted you and caused our labor to be in vain.
5I me I jolar kak nenenla, a i ilakila, pwe i en aja, duen omail pojon, ma men kajonejon jo kajonejon komail, a ma at dodok jota pan dodok mal.
6But just now, Timothy has returned from his visit with the good news about your faith, your love, and the fond memories you have preserved, longing to see us just as we long to see you.
6A metet no en Timoteuj pwara don kin jan re omail, o padaki on kit ron mau duen omail pojon o limpok, o duen omail tamataman kit anjau karoj, o duen komail men kilan kit, I dueta kit kin inon ion kilan komail.
7For this reason, brothers, in all our distress and persecution, we have been reassured about you, because of your faith.
7Ri ai kan, kit ap kamait kilar komail ni at kamekam o apwal akan ki omail pojon.
8For now we can go on living, as long as you are standing firm in the Lord.
8Pwe anjau wet kit maureda, ma komail poden tenedi on Kaun o.
9How can we adequately thank God for you in return for our great joy over you in His presence?
9Pwe ia danke me jen dankeki Kot pweki komail, me pan raj on peren, me je peren kida mon Kot ki komail?
10Night and day we pray most earnestly that we may see you face to face and supply what is lacking from your faith.
10Je kin poden kapakapa kin komail ni pon ni ran o nidinidiki, jen kilan maj omail o kaunjokala omail pojon.
11Now may our God and Father Himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you.
11Ari, pein Kot, o Jam atail, o atail Kaun Iejuj en kotin kalua kit won komail.
12And may the Lord cause you to increase and overflow with love for one another and for everyone else, just as our love for you overflows,
12A Kaun o en kotin kanedere komail la o kalaudela omail limpok nan pun omail o on amen amen dueta kit on komail.
13so that He may establish your hearts in blamelessness and holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints. Amen.
13O kotin kateneten monion omail pwen mau melel, ni jaraui mon Kot o Jam atail on ni ran en atail Kaun Iejuj, me pan kotido o japwilim a jaraui kan karoj ian i.
