Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1Therefore, since God in His mercy has given us this ministry, we do not lose heart.
1KIT jota kin panada, pweki at koa dodok me je aleer ki mak o.
2Instead, we have renounced secret and shameful ways. We do not practice deceit, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by open proclamation of the truth, we commend ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
2Pwe kit muei janer jued okiok kan o je jota weweideki widin o jota liajoja ki majan en Kot; pwe ni at kapwareda melel kit kin kamaui pein kit on injen en aramaj karoj mon Kot.
3And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing.
3A ma at ronamau me malar, nan a malan men lokidokila kan.
4The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers so they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
4Me kot en jappa wet karotonal a nan monion en me jopojon akan, pwe ren der kilan marain en ronamau duen linan en Krijtuj me mom en Kot.
5For we do not proclaim ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake.
5Pwe kit jota kin padaki duen pein kit, a duen Krijtuj Iejuj, me i Kaun, a kit ladu ’mail pweki Iejuj.
6For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made His light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
6Pwe Kot me majanier, marain en pwarada jan ni rotorot, me kotin kamarainiedar nan monion it, pwe jen maraineki o dedeki linan en Kot ni jilan en Iejuj Krijtuj.
7Now we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this surpassingly great power is from God and not from us.
7A kit kin kolekol pai wet ni dal pwel, pwe manaman en kaindinda Kot a jo kit.
8We are hard pressed on all sides, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair;
8At apwal akan me andere kit pena, a je jota kin majak; jota waja, me je pan kak pitila ia ap jota lodi.
9persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed.
9Pan kamekam, ap jota kamela; pan kalokolok, ap jota mela;
10We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.
10O kit kin wewa jili ni war at en Iejuj a matala, pwe maur en Iejuj en pil janjal ni war at.
11For we who are alive are always consigned to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our mortal body.
11Pwe kit, me memaur, kin kilele on mela anjau karoj pweki Iejuj, pwe maur en Iejuj en pil janjaleda ni uduk atail.
12So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.
12Nan i mela kin kelail on kit, a maur on komail,
13And in keeping with what is written: “I believed, therefore I have spoken,” we who have the same spirit of faith also believe and therefore speak,
13A kit aleer nen en pojon ota, duen a intinidier: Nai me pojon, I me i padaki wei. Kit me pil pojonlar ap padapadaki.
14knowing that the One who raised the Lord Jesus will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you in His presence.
14Je ajaer, me i, me kotin kaiajadar Kaun Iejuj, pan pil kotin kaiajada kitail ian Iejuj, o pan kotin kajanjaleda kitail o komail mo a.
15All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is extending to more and more people may overflow in thanksgiving, to the glory of God.
15Meakaroj wiauier pweki komail, pwe mak o ni a laude kilar me toto, en kalaudela melel danke, pwen kaliwanada Kot.
16Therefore we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, yet our inner self is being renewed day by day.
16I me je jota kin panada, a ma at pali liki en aramaj pan joredi, pali lol it kin kokoda ni ran karoj.
17For our light and momentary affliction is producing for us an eternal glory that is far beyond comparison.
17Pwe atail anjau apwal me motomot o tikitik; ap kare on kitail linan joutuk eu me lapalap melel,
18So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
18Pwe kitail jota kin kilekilan meakan me janjal, a meakan me jo janjal. Pwe me janjal me katuk, a me jo janjal me joutuk.
