Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1About that time, King Herod reached out to harm some who belonged to the church.
1I ANJAU nanmarki Erodej pikikidi kame akai nan momodi jou.
2He had James, the brother of John, put to death with the sword.
2I ari kamata kila kodlaj Iakopuj ri en Ioanej.
3And seeing that this pleased the Jews, Herod proceeded to seize Peter during the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
3A lao kilaner, me Juj oko peren kidar, ap pil jaikidi Petruj. Nan i unjaun prot jomut.
4He arrested him and put him in prison, handing him over to be guarded by four squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended to bring him out to the people after the Passover.
4A jaikidi i o kilan i nan imaten, o kajilaki i pwin en jaunpei paieu. Pamen me wia eu pwin, pwe murin paja a men kajale on pokon i.
5So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was fervently praying to God for him.
5Petruj ari jenjal nan imaten amomodijou poden kapakapki I ren Kot.
6On the night before Herod was to bring him to trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, with sentries standing guard at the entrance to the prison.
6Ponpon mon Erodej pan kajanjaleda i, a jaimokela nan pun en jaunpei riamen, jalikidi jal mata riapot. A jilepa ko majamajan imaten mon wanim ko.
7Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He tapped Peter on the side and woke him up, saying, “Get up quickly.” And the chains fell off his wrists.
7A kilan, amen tounlan en Kaun o pwarado o marain eu jarada nan imaten o. I ari pikir Petruj ni panepan o kapaurida i majani: Paurida pitipit! Jal mata ko ap pupedi jan ni lim a kan.
8“Get dressed and put on your sandals,” said the angel. Peter did so, and the angel told him, “Wrap your cloak around you and follow me.”
8A tounlan majani on i: Pirapirada o juteda! I ari wiadar met. A ap majani on i: Upupedi o idauen ia do!
9So Peter followed him out, but he was unaware that what the angel was doing was real. He thought he was only seeing a vision.
9I ari pedoido jan o idauenla i, o a jota dedeki, me melel en tounlan a wiawia. Pwe a kiki on, me a auramandar.
10They passed the first and second guards and came to the iron gate leading to the city, which opened for them by itself. When they had gone outside and walked the length of one block, the angel suddenly left him.
10Ira lao kotin daulier pwin en jilepa kaieu, o kariau, ira ap lel on wanim mata, me jalon kanim, i me pein ritida mo ’ra. Ira ari kotila pon al apot. A tounlan ap madan kotin rir jan mo a.
11Then Peter came to himself and said, “Now I know for sure that the Lord has sent His angel and rescued me from Herod’s grasp and from everything the Jewish people were anticipating.”
11A Petruj lao dedeki me wiauier, ap majaniada: I ap aja melel, me Kaun o kotin poronedo japwilim a tounlan o kapit ia jan ni pa en Erodej o jan en Juj akan ar majamajan.
12And when he had realized this, he went to the house of Mary the mother of John, also called Mark, where many people had gathered together and were praying.
12A ni a kotin madamadaua, ap lel on im en Maria in en Ioanej, me pil ad a Markuj, waja me toto pokon ia wia kapakap.
13He knocked at the outer gate, and a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer it.
13A ni en Petruj a letelet ni wanim o, lidu men, ad a Rode, ap pwara don ron.
14When she recognized Peter’s voice, she was so overjoyed that she forgot to open the gate, but ran inside and announced, “Peter is standing at the gate!”
14A lao aja kapitie en Petruj, a jota ritinada wanim o pweki a peren. A a tanlon katitiki, me Petruj kot mon wanim o.
15“You are out of your mind,” they told her. But when she kept insisting it was so, they said, “It must be his angel.”
15A irail indai on i: Koe iakala. A i kelail indada, me melel. Re ap inda: Kaidin i, a japwilim a tounlan o.
16But Peter kept on knocking, and when they opened the door and saw him, they were astounded.
16A Petruj wiawia leteleteta. Irail lao ritinada o kilaner i, re ap puriamui kilar.
17Peter motioned with his hand for silence, and he described how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. “Send word to James and to the brothers,” he said, and he left for another place.
17A i olole irail, en nenenla. A ap majani on irail duen Kaun o, me kotin kalua i jan nan imaten o, o pil majanier: Kaireki Iakopuj o jaulan kan mepukat! I ap kotiei jan kotilan ekij waja.
18At daybreak there was no small commotion among the soldiers as to what had become of Peter.
18A lao ran pajaner, jaunpei kan ap puriamuiki kaualap en Petruj a pitilar.
19After Herod had searched for him unsuccessfully, he examined the guards and ordered that they be executed. Then he went down from Judea to Caesarea and spent some time there.
19A Erodej lao idok o jo diaradar, ap itetokenkone jilepa ko o majani, ren kamela. I ari kotilan Jajarea jan Ierujalem kaukaujon ia.
20Now Herod was in a furious dispute with the people of Tyre and Sidon, and they convened before him. Having secured the support of Blastus, the king’s chamberlain, they asked for peace, because their region depended on the king’s country for food.
20A Erodej onionidar pan men Tiruj o Jidon, re ap wiaki eu poto don i kadekadeke Plajtuj jaunkoa en nanmarki o poeki muei mau, pwe re kin memaureki jap en nanmarki.
21On the appointed day, Herod donned his royal robes, sat on his throne, and addressed the people.
21A kadekadeo eu ran Erodej ap purion likau en nanmarki, kaipokedi pon mol o kapakaparok on irail.
22And they began to shout, “This is the voice of a god, not a man!”
22A aramaj akan nijinij indada: Nan i kapitie en kot amen, a kaidin en aramaj.
23Immediately, because Herod did not give glory to God, an angel of the Lord struck him down, and he was eaten by worms and died.
23A madan amen tounlan en Kaun o poki i, pweki a jo wauneki Kot. A maaj akan me kanala i; i ari mela.
24But the word of God continued to spread and multiply.
24A majan en Kot pwaida o lok jili.
25When Barnabas and Saul had fulfilled their mission to Jerusalem, they returned, bringing with them John, also called Mark.
25Parnapaj i Pauluj puredo jan Ierujalem, ira lao kanikielar ar dodok, o ira pil ukedo Ioanej, me ad a Markuj.
