Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
1PAULUJ wanporon en Krijtuj Iejuj amen pan kupur en Kot o ri atail Timoteuj,
2To the saints and faithful brothers in Christ at Colossae: Grace and peace to you from God our Father.
2Oni ri at jaraui o lelapok ren Krijuj akan, me mi Koloje; mak o popol jan ren Kot Jam atail o Kaun Iejuj Krijtuj!
3We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you,
3Kit kin danke Kot o Jam en atail Kaun Iejuj Krijtuj o kapakapa kin komail kaukaule.
4because we have heard about your faith in Christ Jesus and your love for all the saints—
4Kit lao ronadar duen omail pojon Krijtuj Iejuj, o omail limpok on jaraui kan karoj,
5the faith and love proceeding from the hope stored up for you in heaven, of which you have already heard in the word of truth, the gospel
5Pweki kaporopor eu, me nekineki on komail nanlan, duen me komail ronadar maj o ni padak melel en ronamau,
6that has come to you. All over the world this gospel is bearing fruit and growing, just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood the grace of God.
6Me lei won komail o pil jap akan karoj, o a kin wada o kakairida dueta re omail jan ni ran o, me komail ronadar o dedekier melel mak en Kot;
7You learned it from Epaphras, our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf,
7Duen omail padakki jan ren Epapraj at warok kompok amen, me papa lelapok en Krijtuj on komail amen,
8and who also informed us of your love in the Spirit.
8Me pil kaireki don kit duen omail limpok pena ni Nen.
9For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,
9I me je jota kin dukedi jan at kapakapa kin komail o poekipoeki jan ni ran en at ronadar, pwe komail en direki erpit en kupur a, o komail en lolekon o koiok nenin,
10so that you may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord and may please Him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God,
10O kekeid wei duen me kon on Kaun o, o kapareda wan wiawia mau karoj, o kakairida ki aja Kot,
11being strengthened with all power according to His glorious might so that you may have full endurance and patience, and joyfully
11O keleki kel karoj duen manaman en a linan pwen dadaurata o kanonamalu peren,
12giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the light.
12Danke Jam o, me kotin kamau kitail lar, en ian pwaijaneki iojo en me jaraui kan nan marain.
13He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of His beloved Son,
13Me kotin kapiti jan kitail manaman en rotorot, ap kotin kajau kitail don nan wein Na kompokepa,
14in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
14Me kotin dore kitail la iei lapwan dip atail,
15The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
15I me kajale pan Kot, me jo janjal, me mejeni en audepa karoj.
16For in Him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things were created through Him and for Him.
16Pwe karoj wiauiki i, karoj me mi nanlan o jappa, me janjal o me jo janjal, ma me poe kan, de jaumaj akan, de wei kan, de manaman akan, meakaroj wiauiki i o on i.
17He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.
17O i me kotikot mon meakaroj o meakaroj memaureki i.
18And He is the head of the body, the church; He is the beginning and firstborn from among the dead, so that in all things He may have preeminence.
18O i tapwin war a, iei momodijou, o i me tapi o mejeni en me iajadar jan ren me melar akan, pwe i en mon meakaorj.
19For God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Him,
19Pwe Kot kotin kileledier me mau kan karoj en mi re a.
20and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through the blood of His cross.
20I ari kalolamau penan pein I meakan karoj, ma ni jappa de nanlan, ni a kotin wiada muei mau ki ntan a lopu.
21Once you were alienated from God and were hostile in your minds, engaging in evil deeds.
21O komail, me doo wei jan o imwintiti maj o ni omail lamelame o wiawia jued akan,
22But now He has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy, unblemished, and blameless in His presence—
22A kotin kalolamau komail lar ki war a uduk ni a matala, pwen kapware kin komail da jaraui o pun o jo kadeik pa omail mo a.
23if indeed you continue in your faith, established and firm, not moved from the hope of the gospel you heard, which has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.
23Ma komail dadaurata pojon o teneten o jo mokid wei jan ni kaporopor ki ronamau, me komail ronadar, o me lolok on audepa karoj me mi pan lan, me nai Pauluj wialar papa men.
24Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is lacking in regard to Christ’s afflictions for the sake of His body, which is the church.
24I ap perenki ai kalokolok ki komail o men kaimwijok kila uduk ai me luedi ni kamekam en Krijtuj, pweki war a, iei momodijou,
25I became its servant by the commission God gave me to fully proclaim to you the word of God,
25Me i wialar papa men duen koa dodok en Kot, me i aleer pweki komail pwen ujela maj an en Kot.
26the mystery that was hidden for ages and generations but is now revealed to His saints.
26Iei me rir kot, me rir jan nin tapin kaua o men kaua, a met a kadiarok on japwilim a jaraui kan,
27To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
27Me Kot men kajanjaleda kapwapwa en linan en rir wet on men liki kan, iei Krijtuj me kotikot lol omail, i kaporopor en linan.
28We proclaim Him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ.
28I me kit kin padaki o pane panaui aramaj karoj, o padapadaki aramaj karoj ni lolekon karoj, pwe kit en kapwareda aramaj karoj ni unjoki on Krijtuj.
29To this end I also labor, striving with all His energy working powerfully within me.
29I me i pil dodok kelail, duen wiawia en i me kin dodok kelail lol i.
