Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1So I made up my mind not to make another painful visit to you.
1IET me pein wai kileledier, i jolar men pwar won komail ni ai injenjued.
2For if I grieve you, who is left to cheer me but those whom I have grieved?
2Pwe ma i kainjenjuedi komail, ij me pan kak kainjenemau ia la? Ma kaidin i eta, me kainjenjuedelar re i.
3I wrote as I did so that on my arrival I would not be saddened by those who ought to make me rejoice. I had confidence in all of you, that you would share my joy.
3Mepukat i intin won komail er, pwe i ender injenjuede kin irail, me i en peren kida, ni ai pan pwara won komail. A i kamelele komail karoj, me ai peren pil pan omail karoj.
4For through many tears I wrote you out of great distress and anguish of heart, not to grieve you but to let you know how much I love you.
4Pwe ni lokolok o majak en nan monion i me lapalap, me i intin kilan janejan, kaidin pwen kamauki komail, a pwe komail en ajada, duen ai limpok on komail kaualapia.
5Now if anyone has caused grief, he has not grieved me but all of you—to some degree, not to overstate it.
5A ma meamen wiada kainjenjued eu, kaidin nai eta, me a kainjenjuedi, pwe i ender non kapun on, a ele komail karoj.
6The punishment imposed on him by the majority is sufficient for him.
6A kalokolok jan ren me toto itar on i.
7So instead, you ought to forgive and comfort him, so that he will not be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.
7Mak eta komail en maki on I o kamaitala, pwe a de lodi on injenjued laud.
8Therefore I urge you to reaffirm your love for him.
8I ari panaui komail, komail en kajale on i omail limpok.
9My purpose in writing you was to see if you would stand the test and be obedient in everything.
9I karepen ai intin won komail, pwe i en aja, ma komail me pun o peiki on ni meakaroj.
10If you forgive anyone, I also forgive him. And if I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven it in the presence of Christ for your sake,
10A ma komail pan makeki ow meamen meakot, nai pil pan maki on i. A ma i makeki on amen meakot, i makekier pweki komail wilianti Krijtuj.
11in order that Satan should not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes.
11Pwe Jatan ender kotaue kitail, pwe kitail ajaer duen a lamelam.
12Now when I went to Troas to preach the gospel of Christ and a door stood open for me in the Lord,
12A ni ai pwaralawer Troaj, pwen padaki ronamau en Krijtuj, o wanim eu me ritida mo i on Kaun O,
13I had no peace in my spirit, because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I said goodbye to them and went on to Macedonia.
13I jota injenemaula, ni nen i, pweki ai jota diar ri ai Tituj. I ap kamurimur on irail daulul won Majetonien.
14But thanks be to God, who always leads us triumphantly as captives in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of Him.
14A danke on Kot, me kotin kaloe kitail di pan Krijtuj, ap kajanjaleki kitail pomau en a erpit waja karoj.
15For we are to God the sweet aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.
15Pwe kit me pomau en Krijtuj on Kot ren me pan dorela o ren me pan lokidokila kan.
16To the one, we are an odor of death and demise; to the other, a fragrance that brings life. And who is qualified for such a task?
16On iet akan po en mela on kamela, a on me tei kan po en maur on kamaurela. A ij me kon on mepukat?
17For we are not like so many others, who peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, as men sent from God.
17Pwe kit jo dueta me toto, me kin liliajojaki majan en Kot; a at padak me melel, o a pwili jan Kot, o kin wiaui mon Kot pan Krijtuj.
