Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1Paul looked directly at the Sanhedrin and said, “Brothers, I have conducted myself before God in all good conscience to this day.”
1A PAULUJ kotin aupwil jili nan kapun o ap majani: Ri ai ko, i dadaurata me mau on Kot lao lel ran wet.
2At this, the high priest Ananias ordered those standing near Paul to strike him on the mouth.
2A jamero lapalap Ananiaj majani on men impa, ren pikir au a.
3Then Paul said to him, “God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! You sit here to judge me according to the law, yet you yourself violate the law by commanding that I be struck.”
3Pauluj ap majani on i: Kot pan kotin pikir uk malaun men koe, pwe koe momod waja en, en kadeik ia da duen kapun o, ap tiakedi kapun o ni om indada, ren pikir ia.
4But those standing nearby said, “How dare you insult the high priest of God!”
4A men impa indada: Koe pan lalaue japwilim en Kot a jamero lapalap?
5“Brothers,” Paul replied, “I was not aware that he was the high priest, for it is written: ‘Do not speak evil about the ruler of your people.’”
5Pauluj ap majanier: Ri ai ko, i jaja, me i jamero lapalap o, pwe a intinidier: Koe der nan au jued duen omail kaun lapalap o!
6Then Paul, knowing that some of them were Sadducees and others Pharisees, called out in the Sanhedrin, “Brothers, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee. It is because of my hope in the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial.”
6A Pauluj lao diaradar, me akai irail Jadujar, a akai Parijar, ap kapitie laud nan kapun o majani: Ri ai ko, nai Parijar amen o nain Parijar amen, ai kaporopor en me melar akan ar pan maureda, i me i pan paka deikada.
7As soon as he had said this, a dispute broke out between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.
7A lao majanier met, Parijar o Jadujar akan ap akamai pena; ari momod o muei pajan.
8For the Sadducees say that there is neither a resurrection, nor angels, nor spirits, but the Pharisees acknowledge them all.
8Pwe Jadujar kin inda, me dene jota me pan maureda, o pil dene jota tounlan, pil jo nen, a Parijar kin kamelele karoj.
9A great clamor arose, and some scribes from the party of the Pharisees got up and contended sharply, “We find nothing wrong with this man. What if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?”
9A weriwer laud wiauier. A jaunkawewe kan, me kijan Parijar kajinenda kaparok katitiki: Jota me jued kot en aramaj men et, me je diar. A ma nen eu de tounlan amen majani on i, kitail der palian Kot!
10The dispute grew so violent that the commander was afraid they would tear Paul to pieces. He ordered the soldiers to go down and remove him by force and bring him into the barracks.
10A lao moromoron kaualap, kaun lapalap o ap majak, me Pauluj pan dapenok pajan, ap majani, me jaunpei kai en kodilan koledi i, wado jan nan pun ar o wa don nan im en jaunpei.
11The following night the Lord stood near Paul and said, “Take courage! As you have testified about Me in Jerusalem, so also you must testify in Rome.”
11A pon pena jan ran o kaun o kotikot re a majani: Kaporopor mau, pwe duen om kadede ia nan Ierujalem, iduen koe pil pan kadede ia nan Rom.
12When daylight came, the Jews formed a conspiracy and bound themselves with an oath not to eat or drink until they had killed Paul.
12A lao ran pajan, Juj akai ap inauki pena o kaukila, me re pan jolar kan o nim meakot, re lao kamelar Pauluj.
13More than forty of them were involved in this plot.
13A irail, me wiadar inau wet, me paek jama.
14They went to the chief priests and elders and said, “We have bound ourselves with a solemn oath not to eat anything until we have killed Paul.
14Irail kodo ren jamero lapalap o jaumaj akan katitiki: Je inauki pena o kaukila, me je jolar pan kan o nim meakot, je lao kamelar Pauluj.
15Now then, you and the Sanhedrin petition the commander to bring him down to you on the pretext of examining his case more carefully. We are ready to kill him on the way.”
15Komail o toun kapun ari poeki ren kaun lapalap o, a en kadara don komail i. Dene komail pan raparapaki melel re a, a kit pan majamajan kamela i, mon a pan pwara don komail.
16But when the son of Paul’s sister heard about the plot, he went into the barracks and told Paul.
16A wawan Pauluj jeri amen lao roner ar ruki i, ap pedelon on im en jaunpei kai kaireki Pauluj.
17Then Paul called one of the centurions and said, “Take this young man to the commander; he has something to tell him.”
17Pauluj ap ekeredo kaun amen, majani on i: Kare won manakap men et ren kaun lapalap o, pwe meakot mia, me a men kaireki i.
18So the centurion took him to the commander and said, “Paul the prisoner sent and asked me to bring this young man to you. He has something to tell you.”
18I ari ukada i kare won i ren kaun lapalap o indada: Pauluj me jalidi, eker ia don i o poeki re i, i en wa don komui manakap men et, pwe meakot mia, me a men kaire kin komui.
19The commander took the young man by the hand, drew him aside, and asked, “What do you need to tell me?”
19Kaun lapalap ap koledi pa a o koieila waja rir kalelapok: Da me koe men kaire kin ia?
20He answered, “The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul to the Sanhedrin tomorrow on the pretext of acquiring more information about him.
20I ari katitiki: Juj akai inauki pena, en poeki re omui, en kadara don kapun Pauluj lakap, dene komui men pur on raparapaki mau due.
21Do not let them persuade you, because more than forty men are waiting to ambush him. They have bound themselves with an oath not to eat or drink until they have killed him; they are ready now, awaiting your consent.”
21A komui der duki on irail, pwe ol paek jama, me rukiruki i, me inauki pena o kaukilar, me re jolar pan kan o nim re lao kamela i. A irail auiaui anjau wet, me komui en mueid on irail i.
22So the commander dismissed the young man and instructed him, “Do not tell anyone that you have reported this to me.”
22Kaun lapalap o ap kadarala manakap o majani on i: Der indan meamen, me koe kaire kin ia met!
23Then he called two of his centurions and said, “Prepare two hundred soldiers, seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen to go to Caesarea in the third hour of the night.
23A lao ekeredor kaun riamen, ap majani: Kaonopada jaunpei riepuki, pwen kola Jajarea, o pil me dake oj ijiakan, o me wa katieu riepuki jan ni klok duau en ponpon wet.
24Provide mounts for Paul to take him safely to Governor Felix.”
24O pil kaonopada man akai, me re en kida poa Pauluj, o ren kanakanai on walan i ren kopina Peliki.
25And he wrote the following letter:
25A pil intiniedier kij in likau duen met:
26Claudius Lysias, To His Excellency, Governor Felix: Greetings.
26Nai Klaudiuj Lijiaj kadar won komui main kopina Pelikj ai ranamau.
27This man was seized by the Jews, and they were about to kill him when I came with my troops to rescue him. For I had learned that he is a Roman citizen,
27Ol men et, me Juj oko jaikidier, o metar kij a pan kamela re ’rail. A nai ukada jaunpei kei dorela i ni ai ronada, me i men Rom amen.
28and since I wanted to understand their charges against him, I brought him down to their Sanhedrin.
28A ni ai men kalelapok, da me re weiweilokedi i, i ap wadila ren ar kapun o.
29I found that the accusation involved questions about their own law, but there was no charge worthy of death or imprisonment.
29Nai ari diaradar, me a panapanla pweki peidok en ar kapun. A jota me i diar, me a pun kak kame kila de jalikidi.
30When I was informed that there was a plot against the man, I sent him to you at once. I also instructed his accusers to present their case against him before you.
30I lao ajadar, me Juj oko rukiruki ol o, i ap madan kadar won komui i, o i kakaliki on me panala i kai, en kaireki won komui duen i. Ran kajelel!
31So the soldiers followed their orders and brought Paul by night to Antipatris.
31Jaunpei ko ap ukada Pauluj kalua i Antipatrij ni pon o duen a kawad kin irail.
32The next day they returned to the barracks and let the horsemen go on with him.
32Mandan ran o re ki on me dake oj akan, ren wala i, ap purelan im en jaunpei.
33When the horsemen arrived in Caesarea, they delivered the letter to the governor and presented Paul to him.
33Mepukat lao lel on Jajarea, ap ki on kijin likau ren kopina, o pil kajale on i Pauluj.
34The governor read the letter and asked what province Paul was from. Learning that he was from Cilicia,
34A lao wadoker o idok, menia i, o manier, me a kijan men Jilijia, ap majani:
35he said, “I will hear your case when your accusers arrive.” Then he ordered that Paul be kept under guard in Herod’s Praetorium.
35I pan ron uk, lao me pan uk ala pil pwarador. I ari majani, i en nekinek nan tanpaj en Erodej.
