Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews.
1ARAMAJ amen mia, kijan Parjar akan, me mar a Nikodemuj, me jaumaj amen ren Juj akan,
2He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs You are doing if God were not with him.”
2Me poto don i ni pon o, katiti on i: Rapi, je aja, me komui jaunpadak amen, me tapido jan ren Kot, pwe jota, me kak wia kilel akan due me komui kotin wiada, ma Kot jo ian.
3Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.”
3Iejuj kotin japen majani on i: Melel, melel I indai on uk, meamen jo ipwi japal, jota pan kak kilan wein Kot.
4“How can a man be born when he is old?” Nicodemus asked. “Can he enter his mother’s womb a second time to be born?”
4Nikodemuj potoan on i: laduen aramaj laud pan kak ipwidi? A pan kak pur on nan kaped en in a, ipwidi jan?
5Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit.
5Iejuj kotin japen: Melel, melel I indai on uk, meamen jo ipwiki pil o nen, a jota kak pedelon on nan wein Kot!
6Flesh is born of flesh, but spirit is born of the Spirit.
6Me ipwiki uduk, iei uduk, a me ipwiki Nen, iei nen.
7Do not be amazed that I said, ‘You must be born again.’
7Koe der puriamuiki, me I katitiki on uk: Komail en ipwi japal.
8The wind blows where it wishes. You hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”
8An kin pein ipip jili, o koe kin ron nil a, a koe jaja, waja a tapi jan ia o waja a ko on ia; iduen amen amen, me ipwiki Nen.
9“How can this be?” Nicodemus asked.
9Nikodemuj japen indai on i: Iaduen mepukat kak wiaui?
10“You are Israel’s teacher,” said Jesus, “and you do not understand these things?
10Iejuj kotin japen majani on i: Jaunpadak en Ijrael amen koe, a koe jaja duen mepukat?
11Truly, truly, I tell you, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, and yet you people do not accept our testimony.
11Melel, melel I indai on uk, me je ajadar, iei me je kin indada, o me je kilaner, iei me je katitiki, a komail jota kin kamelele at kadede.
12If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things?
12Ma I katitiki on komail men pa, a komail ap jota kamelele, a iaduen, komail pan kamelele, ma I katitiki on komail men nanlan?
13No one has ascended into heaven except the One who descended from heaven—the Son of Man.
13Jota meamen, me kodala nanlan, i eta, me kodido jan nanlan, Nain aramaj, me kin mimieta nanlan.
14Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,
14Duen Mojej me kauadar jerpent amen nan jap tan, iduen Nain aramaj pan kakauda.
15that everyone who believes in Him may have eternal life.
15Pwe meamen pojonla i, jota pan lokidokila, a en aneki maur joutuk.
16For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
16Pwe iet duen Kot kotin kupura jappa, me a kotikidoki japwilim a Ieroj, pwe karoj, me pojonla i, ender jalonala, a en aneki maur joutuk.
17For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.
17Pwe Kot me kotin porone don jappa japwilim a ol, kaidin en kadeikada jappa, a pwe jappa en kamauri kila i.
18Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.
18Me pojon i, jota pan pakadeikada, a me jo pojon i, iei pakadeikadar, pweki a jota pojon mar en japwilim en Kot ieroj.
19And this is the verdict: The Light has come into the world, but men loved the darkness rather than the Light because their deeds were evil.
19A iet kadeik o, marain pwara don jappa, a aramaj pok on rotorot mon marain, pweki ar wiawia kan me jued.
20Everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come into the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.
20Pwe amen amen, me wiawia jued, kin kailonki marain, o jota kin pwara don marain, pwe a wiawia kan de janjaleda.
21But whoever practices the truth comes into the Light, so that it may be seen clearly that what he has done has been accomplished in God.”
21A me wiawia melel, kin ko don marain, pwe a wiawia kan en janjaleda, me re tapi jan ren Kot.
22After this, Jesus and His disciples went into the Judean countryside, where He spent some time with them and baptized.
22Murin mepukat Iejuj o japwilim a tounpadak kan kotilan jap en Iudaa ap kotikot ia wia paptaij.
23Now John was also baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because the water was plentiful there, and people kept coming to be baptized.
23A Ioanej pil wia paptaij Enon koren ion Jalim, aki pil toto mi waja o, irail ari koieila paptaij ela.
24(For John had not yet been thrown into prison.)
24Pwe Ioanej jaikenta lokidokilar nan imaten.
25Then a dispute arose between John’s disciples and a certain Jew over the issue of ceremonial washing.
25En Ioanej a tounpadak kan o ol en Juj amen ap akamaiki pena duen kamakelekel.
26So John’s disciples came to him and said, “Look, Rabbi, the One who was with you beyond the Jordan, the One you testified about—He is baptizing, and everyone is going to Him.”
26Irail ari ko don ren Ioanej indan i: Rapi, me kot re omui palilan Iordan, me komui kin kadede, majani, a kin wia paptaij o karoj kin pwarala re a.
27John replied, “A man can receive only what is given him from heaven.
27Ioanej japen majani: Aramaj amen jota kak aneki meakot, ma a jo aneki jan nanlan.
28You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but am sent ahead of Him.’
28Komail pein kadede kin ia, me i indada: Kaidin Krijtuj nai, pwe nai me pakatarador mo a.
29The bride belongs to the bridegroom. The friend of the bridegroom stands and listens for him, and is overjoyed to hear the bridegroom’s voice. That joy is mine, and it is now complete.
29Me li amen kijin nin on, iei oI kamod. A kompoke pan ol kamod kin u roneron perenki nil en ol kamod; ari, iei ai peren unjokala.
30He must increase; I must decrease.
30I en kakairida, a nai en kakairidi.
31The One who comes from above is above all. The one who is from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks as one from the earth. The One who comes from heaven is above all.
31Me kotido jan poa, i me poedi karoj, a me kijan jappa, iei men jappa, o a kin kajokajoia duen jappa. A me kotido jan nanlan, me poedi karoj,
32He testifies to what He has seen and heard, yet no one accepts His testimony.
32O me a kilanada o ronada, iei me a kin kadedeki, a jota me kamelele a kadede.
33Whoever accepts His testimony has certified that God is truthful.
33A me kamelele a kadede, kin kadede, me Kot me melel.
34For the One whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit.
34Pwe i, me Kot kotin poronedor, kin kida en Kot a majan, pwe Kot jota kotikida Nen ki men jon.
35The Father loves the Son and has placed all things in His hands.
35Jam me kotin kupura japwilim a ol o kotiki oner ni lim a meakaroj.
36Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. Whoever rejects the Son will not see life. Instead, the wrath of God remains on him.”
36Me pojon japwilim a ol, aneki maur joutuk. A me jota pojon japwilim a ol, jota pan kilan maur, a onion en Kot pan mimieta re a.
