Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1As a prisoner in the Lord, then, I urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling you have received:
1NAI en Kaun a jalidi men, kin panaui komail, pwe komail en kekeid inenweita ni koa eu, me komail paeker on,
2with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love,
2Ni karakarak melel, o opampap, o kanonama, o limpok pena nan pun omail.
3and with diligence to preserve the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.
3Ankelail on wia minimin eu ni Nen jaupena ki jal en popol.
4There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called;
4War ta ieu, o Nen ta ieu, duen me komail paeker on ni kaporopor ta ieu, en omail paeker on.
5one Lord, one faith, one baptism;
5Kaun ta men, pojon ta ieu, paptaij ta ieu,
6one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
6Kot o Jam en karoj me ta men me kotin poedi meakaroj o daudaulole, o me kotikot lol atail karoj.
7Now to each one of us grace has been given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
7A kitail karoj aleer atail pai en mak duen jon en kupur en Krijtuj.
8This is why it says: “When He ascended on high, He led captives away, and gave gifts to men.”
8I me a kotin majani: Ni a kotidalan poa, a kotin jaliedi me jalidi kan, o a kotiki on aramaj pai kan.
9What does “He ascended” mean, except that He also descended to the lower parts of the earth?
9A iaduen, ma a kotidalan poa, kaidin a pil jo kotidilar pa jed, waja lolia maj o?
10He who descended is the very One who ascended above all the heavens, in order to fill all things.
10Me kotidila, i ota, me kotida wei ileila jan nanlan kan karoj, pwen kadirela waja karoj.
11And it was He who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers,
11O a kotin kajapwilada akai, en wanporon akan o akai en jaukop akan, o akai en waronamau kan, o akai en jilepa o jaunpadak kan.
12to equip the saints for works of ministry and to build up the body of Christ,
12Pwen kapunala jaraui kan on wiawia dodok eu, me pan kauada war en Krijtuj.
13until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, as we mature to the full measure of the stature of Christ.
13Kitail karoj lao lel on pojon ta ieu, o lolekon ki Japwilim en Kot, o wiala ol melel, me paroki on Krijtuj ni a unjokela,
14Then we will no longer be infants, tossed about by the waves and carried around by every wind of teaching and by the clever cunning of men in their deceitful scheming.
14Pwe kitail en jolar tau en jeri pwelel, me mokimokideki jili padak likam, me kin pwai kida kotaue en aramaj akan o ar likam, o widiwidin me re kin wiada, pwen kaweid japun.
15Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into Christ Himself, who is the head.
15A kitail en melel ni limpok, ap kakairida ni jon karoj on Krijtuj, me tapwi o.
16From Him the whole body, fitted and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love through the work of each individual part.
16Me war pon kakauda jan o kokon akan karoj kateneten pena ia; a kokon pukat papa pena, duen dodok en kokon akan eu eu, duen ar itar on, iduen war o kin kakairida o maular ni limpok.
17So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking.
17I me i indai on komail o kadede kila Kaun o, me komail ender weweid dueta men liki kan kin wia ni aklapalap en nen ir.
18They are darkened in their understanding and alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardness of their hearts.
18Me nen arail rotorotalar, o re jan maur en Kot, pweki ar jololekon me mi lol arail o pweki monion arail kapitakailar.
19Having lost all sense of shame, they have given themselves over to sensuality for the practice of every kind of impurity, with a craving for more.
19Me jolar pam waja, ap mueid on pein irail, en dender o inon ion kapwaiada jon en jaut akan karoj.
20But this is not the way you came to know Christ.
20A kaidin iduen, me komail ajadar ren Krijtuj.
21Surely you heard of Him and were taught in Him—in keeping with the truth that is in Jesus—
21Ma komail roner duen i o padakki i, me tiak melel mi ren Iejuj.
22to put off your former way of life, your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires;
22Komail ari muei jan tiak en maj o aramaj marin, me kin kawe kila pein i inon jued.
23to be renewed in the spirit of your minds;
23A komail en kawilikapada nen omail!
24and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
24O danwar anekila aramaj kap, me wiauier duen kupur en Kot, ni melel o pun o jaraui.
25Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we are all members of one another.
25I me komail en kajela likam amen amen ap lokaia melel on men impa, pwe kitail jau ta ieu.
26“Be angry, yet do not sin.” Do not let the sun set upon your anger,
26Ni makar komail der wia dip, o katipin der kirila mon omail injenemaula.
27and do not give the devil a foothold.
27Ender duki on tewil o!
28He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing good with his own hands, that he may have something to share with the one in need.
28Me pirap, ender pur on pirap, a mak eta, en dodok, kadokeki pa kan dipijou mau, pwen kaonop da kijakij on me jamama kan.
29Let no unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building up the one in need and bringing grace to those who listen.
29Kajoi jaut ender ko wei jan nan au omail, a men kamau, pwen papaki on me karon akan me mau.
30And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
30Komail der kamauke Nen jaraui en Kot, me komail kilelekier on ran en kajapaledo!
31Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, outcry and slander, along with every form of malice.
31A limelimek jued, o linaranar, o makar, o men pei, o lalaue en doo wei jan komail, o pil jon en jued karoj.
32Be kind and tenderhearted to one another, forgiving each other just as in Christ God forgave you.
32A komail en kadek pena, o poka pena, o mak pena amen amen, dueta Kot kotin maki on komail ren Krijtuj.
