Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1Five days later the high priest Ananias came down with some elders and a lawyer named Tertullus, who presented to the governor their case against Paul.
1A MURIN ran limau jamero lapalap Ananiaj kotido ianaki jaumaj akai, o jaunlokaia men, me ad a Tertuluj; irail weiwei loke Pauluj ren kopina.
2When Paul had been called in, Tertullus opened the prosecution: “Because of you, we have enjoyed a lasting peace, and your foresight has brought improvements to this nation.
2A lao wijikedo, Tertuluj ap pikikidi weiweiloke i indada:
3In every way and everywhere, most excellent Felix, we acknowledge this with all gratitude.
3Kit ajaer duen muein popol re omui o duen kamau toto kan on toun wei wet, pweki omui kalanan main Pelikj. O i me j e kapikapina kin komui anjau o waja karoj.
4But in order not to burden you any further, I beg your indulgence to hear us briefly.
4A i jota men kapanai komui, iet eta me i poeki re omui: Komui en kotin mani kit duen omui kalanan.
5We have found this man to be a pestilence, stirring up dissension among the Jews all over the world. He is a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes,
5Pwe je diaradar, me ol men et me morjued o me kin kapeida Juj akan karoj, me mi jappa, o i me jaumaj en pwin likam en Najaret,
6and he even tried to desecrate the temple; so we seized him.
6Me pil jon kajaminela im en kaudok o, i me je koledi i, pwen kadeikada, duen at kapun o.
no verse 7 in this text
7A monjap Lijiaj kotin pwarado, kotiki jan i nan pa at ki a manaman lapalap,
8By examining him yourself, you will be able to learn the truth about all our charges against him.”
8Majani on me weiweiloke i, en poto don re omui, a komui lao kalekalelapok re irail, kom pan pein mani duen meakan, me je pan kila i.
9The Jews concurred, asserting that these charges were true.
9A Juj oko pil weiweiloke Pauluj indada: Mepukat melel!
10When the governor motioned for Paul to speak, he began his response: “Knowing that you have been a judge over this nation for many years, I gladly make my defense.
10A kopina lao olol on Pauluj, en kaparok, a ap kotin japen majani: Ni ai ajaer, me komui jaunkapun pan toun wei wet jaunpar toto, i peren kida, ai pan indinda duen pein nai.
11You can verify for yourself that no more than twelve days ago I went up to Jerusalem to worship.
11Pwe komui pan mani, me pon naul ria pon eta, me i kodalan Ierujalem pwen kaudok.
12Yet my accusers did not find me debating with anyone in the temple or riling up a crowd in the synagogues or in the city.
12A irail jota diar ia da lokaia on amen nan im en kaudok, de kapeida aramaj oko nan jinakoke kan de nan kanim o.
13Nor can they prove to you any of their charges against me.
13O re pil jota kak kadede, me re pan kin ia la met.
14I do confess to you, however, that I worship the God of our fathers according to the Way, which they call a sect. I believe everything that is laid down by the Law and written in the Prophets,
14A iet eta, me i men kadede on komui, ni ai kin kamelele karoj, me intinidier nan jaukop akan o kapun o, i kin kaudoki on Kot en jam ai kan duen tiak en ir, me re kaadaneki pwin likam.
15and I have the same hope in God that they themselves cherish, that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked.
15O i kaporoporeki Kot me irail pil kamelele me melar akan pan maureda, me pun o me japun kan.
16In this hope, I strive always to maintain a clear conscience before God and man.
16A i me i kin jojonki pein nai, pwe lol i en pun mon Kot o aramaj akan.
17After several years, then, I returned to Jerusalem to bring alms to my people and to present offerings.
17A murin par toto i kodon wa don toun jap wet kijakij eu o wiadar mairon.
18At the time they found me in the temple, I was ceremonially clean and was not inciting a crowd or an uproar. But there are some Jews from the province of Asia
18I anjau, me re diar ia makelekeladar nan im en kaudok o jota weriwer de moromoron.
19who ought to appear before you and bring charges, if they have anything against me.
19A ir pukat Juj akai nan Ajien menda re jota mi met mo ’mui, kadede nai, ma re diar me jued kot re i?
20Otherwise, let these men state for themselves any crime they found in me when I stood before the Sanhedrin,
20De mepukat en pein kajanjaleda japun da, me re diar re i ni ai mi mon kapun o.
21unless it was this one thing I called out as I stood in their presence: ‘It is concerning the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial before you today.’”
21A iet eta lepen lokaia, me i kida ni ai udar nan pun ar indada: En me melar akan ar pan maureda, i pan pakadeikki ran wet re omail.
22Then Felix, who was well informed about the Way, adjourned the hearing and said, “When Lysias the commander comes, I will decide your case.”
22A Pelikj lao ereki mepukat, pwe a mani mau duen al pot et, ap kajau ir wei majani: Kaun Lijiaj lao kotido, i ap pan kaimwijokela omail kapun.
23He ordered the centurion to keep Paul under guard, but to allow him some freedom and permit his friends to minister to his needs.
23I ap majani on kaun en kolekol Pauluj o kajaladokela i, o ender inapwiedi ian a kan, en kodon papa i.
24After several days, Felix returned with his wife Drusilla, who was a Jewess. He sent for Paul and listened to him speak about faith in Christ Jesus.
24A murin ran akai Pelikj pwarado, a paud Drujila ian i, iei li en Juj amen, ap molipedo Pauluj o karone i duen lamalam en Krijtuj.
25As Paul expounded on righteousness, self-control, and the coming judgment, Felix became frightened and said, “You may go for now. When I find the time, I will call for you.”
25A ni a kapakaparok duen pun, o makelekel, o kadeik, me pan wiaui, Pelikj ap majapwe kadar o japen: U kowei anjau wet, i lao pijokalar, i pan eker uk do.
26At the same time, he was hoping that Paul would offer him a bribe. So he sent for Paul frequently and talked with him.
26A pil kaporoporeki, me Pauluj pan kotiki on i moni, pwen lapwada i; i me a purepure ekeker kido i o kajokajoi on i.
27After two years had passed, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus. And wishing to do the Jews a favor, Felix left Paul in prison.
27A murin par riau Porjiuj Pejtuj japwiladar wiliandi Pelikj. A Pelijk men konekon ren Juj oko, ap jota lapwada Pauluj.
