Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1Finally, brothers, we ask and encourage you in the Lord Jesus to live in a way that is pleasing to God, just as you have received from us. This is how you already live, so you should do so all the more.
1ARI, ri ai kan, je pil poeki re omail o panaui kin komail Kaun Iejuj, duen me komail aleer jan kit, o duen me komail en kekeideki wei, o kaperenda Kot, iduen omail kakairida.
2For you know the instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus.
2Pwe komail aja duen kujoned akan, me je pan on komail ren Kaun Iejuj.
3For it is God’s will that you should be holy: You must abstain from sexual immorality;
3Pwe iet kupur en Kot, omail jarauila, pwe komail en liki jan nenek.
4each of you must know how to control his own body in holiness and honor,
4Amen amen en kanai on pein war a, pwen jaraui o wau o liki jan inon jued,
5not in lustful passion like the Gentiles who do not know God;
5Kaidin ni dender on inon jued duen men liki kan, me jo aja Kot;
6and no one should ever violate or exploit his brother in this regard, because the Lord will avenge all such acts, as we have already told you and solemnly warned you.
6O jota me pan piti de kajapuni on ri a ni meakot, pwe Kaun o pan kotin iki on i, duen me kit inda o kadede on komail er maj o.
7For God has not called us to impurity, but to holiness.
7Pwe Kot jota molipei kitail on jamin, a pwen jaraui.
8Anyone, then, who rejects this command does not reject man but God, the very One who gives you His Holy Spirit.
8A ma amen komail pan mamaleki mepukat, kaidin aramaj me a pan mamaleki pwe Kot, me pil kotiki on komail er japwilim a Nen jaraui.
9Now about brotherly love, you do not need anyone to write to you, because you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another.
9A duen limpok en jaulan, menda i en intinki won komail, pwe pein komail padakki jan ren Kot, me komail en pokepena.
10And you are indeed showing this love to all the brothers throughout Macedonia. But we urge you, brothers, to excel more and more
10Nan met komail kin wiai on jaulan karoj, me mimi Majetonien pon. A je panaui kin komail ri at akan, komail en kakairida.
11and to aspire to live quietly, to attend to your own matters, and to work with your own hands, as we instructed you.
11O komail nenenla o inon ion apwali pein omail dodok, kadokeki pein pa omail, duen me je padaki on komail er,
12Then you will behave properly toward outsiders, without being dependent on anyone.
12Pwe komail en janjal mau mon me mi liki kan, o komail der mau on amen en apwali komail.
13Brothers, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you will not grieve like the rest, who are without hope.
13Ri ai kan, je jota men oki jan komail duen me mairelar akan, pwe komail der injenjued dueta irail, me jota ar kaporopor.
14For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, we also believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in Him.
14Pwe ma kitail kamelele, me Iejuj matala ap iajadar, nan iduen me mairelar ren Iejuj, Kot pil pan kalua ir ala re a.
15By the word of the Lord, we declare to you that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who have fallen asleep.
15Pwe ieteten me je indan komail ni majan en Kaun o, kit me memaureta lao Kaun o pan kotin pwarado, jota pan ko wei mon me mair akan.
16For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will be the first to rise.
16Pwe pein Kaun o pan kotido jan nanlan ki majan laud, o kapiti en toulan lapalap amen, o koronete en Kot; me melar akan ren Krijtuj ap pan maureda maj.
17After that, we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord.
17Kit me memaureta luadi ap pan ian ir peukadala nan dapok kan, ko on ren Kaun o nan wawa, kitail ap pan mimieta ren Kaun o kokolata.
18Therefore encourage one another with these words.
18Komail ari kamaiteki komail la padak pot et.
