Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1What causes conflicts and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from the passions at war within you?
1IA waja akamai o pei nan pun omail kin tapi jan ia? Kaidin jan nan omail inon jued akan, me kin pepei nan omail kokon akan.
2You crave what you do not have; you kill and covet, but are unable to obtain it. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask.
2Komail kin inon ion, ap jota aneki, komail kin kamela o kailonki, ap jota me komail pan ale; komail kin akamai o mauin. A jota omail meakot, pwe komail jota omail meakot, pwe komail jota kin poeki.
3And when you do ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may squander it on your pleasures.
3Komail kin poeki, ap jota pwaida, pwe komail kin poeki japun, pwe komail kin poeki japun, pwe komail kin kapwaida kida omail inon jued akan.
4You adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore, whoever chooses to be a friend of the world renders himself an enemy of God.
4Komail kamal akan, komail jota aja me waroki on jappa et, kin imwintiti on Kot? Ari meamen, me men kompoke pan jappa, nan i imwintiti en Kot amen.
5Or do you think the Scripture says without reason that the Spirit He caused to dwell in us yearns with envy?
5De komail kiki on, me puk jaraui majani mal: Nen o me kotikot lol omail, kin inon ion o nantion dodok on Kot.
6But He gives us more grace. This is why it says: “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
6A meid laud a mak on kitail. I me a kotin majanieki: Kot kin kotin palian me aklapalap, ap mak on me opampap.
7Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
7Komail ari duki on Kot a palian tewil, a ap pan tan wei jan komail.
8Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
8Kakondak monion on Kot, a ap pan kupukupera komail, kamakelekel pa omail, komail me dipan; o kaminela monion omial, komail me lol riapot.
9Grieve, mourn, and weep. Turn your laughter to mourning, and your joy to gloom.
9Kainjinom, o maiei, o janejan; omail kaukaurur en wuki on me mauk, o omail peren on injenjued.
10Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you.
10Akitikitik ki pein komail mon Kaun o, a ap pan kjapwil komail da.
11Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. And if you judge the law, you are not a practitioner of the law, but a judge of it.
11Ri ai ko komail de lokaia jued nan pun omail. Pwe me kin lokaia jued duen ri a, de kadeikada ri a, a kin lokaia jued on kapun o kin kadeikada kapun o, A ma koe kadeikada kapun, pwe jaunkapun amen koe.
12There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the One who is able to save and destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?
12Amen ta jaunkapun o jaunkadeik, me kak on kamaurela o kariala. A ij koe, me kin kadeikada men im pa?
13Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business, and make a profit.”
13Iet pil eu, komail me kin inda: Ran wet de lakap je pan kolan kanim wet o kaujon waja o par eu, o netinet ap kapwapwala.
14You do not even know what will happen tomorrow! What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.
14A komail kin jaja, da me pan wiaui lakap, pwe da omail maur? Pwe komail kin raj on tokoi, me kin mi anjau kij, ap mokonaidi.
15Instead, you ought to say, “If the Lord is willing, we will live and do this or that.”
15Mak eta komail en inda: Ma Kaun o kotin kupura, o ma kitail memaureta, kitail pan wiada met de mo.
16As it is, you boast in your proud intentions. All such boasting is evil.
16A jo, komail kin perenki omail jujuai, nan jujuai due met me jued.
17Anyone, then, who knows the right thing to do, yet fails to do it, is guilty of sin.
17Ari, melel ta, meamen me lelapok ki me mau, ap jota wia, nan i me dip on i.
