Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1Come now, you who are rich, weep and wail over the misery to come upon you.
1A KOMAIL kapwapwa kan, janejanki o weriwereki, kampamail pan lel on komail!
2Your riches have rotted and moths have eaten your clothes.
2Omail kapwa kan olar, o man en mot kanalar omail likau kan.
3Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and consume your flesh like fire. You have hoarded treasure in the last days.
3Omail kold o jilper mirelar, ari, ar mir me pan kadede on komail, o pan war pajan uduk omail due kijiniai. Nan komail nakier kapwa ni imwin ran akan.
4Look, the wages you withheld from the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of Hosts.
4Komail war, pwain en toun dodok, me kop penaer dipijou en jap omail, me komail kulia janer, kin weriwer; o likwir en jaundolun akan lel on karona en Kaun Jepaot.
5You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened your hearts in the day of slaughter.
5Komail ipuepuarok kier me jued nin jappa, dender on, komail kamue matier monion omail rajon man wi, me pan kamela.
6You have condemned and murdered the righteous, who did not resist you.
6Komail kadeikada o kamela me pun o, a a jota palian komail er.
7Be patient, then, brothers, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer awaits the precious fruit of the soil—how patient he is for the fall and spring rains.
7Ari ri ai ko, komail kononama lao lel en atail Kaun a pan kotin pwarado. Kilan, jaumat amen kin auiaui wa mau en jap o, o a kin kanonama lao katau en maj o mur moredier.
8You, too, be patient and strengthen your hearts, because the Lord’s coming is near.
8Komail ari pil kanonama eta, katene monion omail, pwe en atail Kaun a pwarado me korendor.
9Do not complain about one another, brothers, so that you will not be judged. Look, the Judge is standing at the door!
9Ri ai ko, komail der pilipil en pan moli ki amen amen, pwe komail ender pakadeikada. Kilan, jaunkadeik o mi pan wanim.
10Brothers, as an example of patience in affliction, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
10Ri ai ko, ni omail kalokoloko kanonama komail alale jan jaukop akan, me kokopeki ni mar en Kaun o.
11See how blessed we consider those who have persevered. You have heard of Job’s perseverance and have seen the outcome from the Lord. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
11Kilan, kitail kin kapina me dadauratar. Komail roner duen kanonama en lop, o kilaner imwin Kaun O, pwe Kaun o kin kupukupura o kapunlol kaualap.
12Above all, my brothers, do not swear, not by heaven or earth or by any other oath. Simply let your “Yes” be yes, and your “No,” no, so that you will not fall under judgment.
12Ri ai ko, komail kalaka, pwe komail der kaula; der kaukila lan de jappa, o der wia eu jon en kaula; a omail japen en ei ta, o omail jo en jo, pwe komail de lodi on kadeik o.
13Is any one of you suffering? He should pray. Is anyone cheerful? He should sing praises.
13Ma amen re omail kamekam, a en kapakap, a ma amen injenemau, a en kauleki pjalm.
14Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord.
14Ma amen mi re omail me jomau, en ukado jaunkoa en momodijou kan, pwe irail en kapakapa kin i, murin ar keie kin i le ni mar en Kaun o.
15And the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick. The Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven.
15Ari, kapakap pojon pan kamaureda me jomau o, o Kaun o pan kakelada i, o ma a wiaer dip kai, re pan japedokalar jan.
16Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man has great power to prevail.
16I me komail en weok pena dip omail o kapakapaki amen amen, pwe komail en kelail la. Kapakap melel en me pun amen kin kareda me toto.
17Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years.
17Eliaj aramaj amen dueta kitail, a kapakapaki katau ender moredi, ari jolar katau moredi on jappa ni par jilu o jaunipon wonu.
18Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth yielded its crops.
18O a kotin pur on kapakap, nanlan ap kamoredier katau, o jap kapareda wa kan.
19My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back,
19Ri ai ko, meamen mi re omail, me jalonala ni melel, o amen kajapaledo i,
20consider this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and cover over a multitude of sins.
20I en aja, me kajapaledo me dipan amen jan ni a jalonala, a kamaureda jan mela nen eu, me a pan pwain kidi dip toto.
