Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1Now all the tax collectors and sinners were gathering around to listen to Jesus.
1A JAUNOPWEI o me dipan akan karoj ap kai don i pwen ron i.
2So the Pharisees and scribes began to grumble: “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”
2A Parijar o jaunkawewe kan lipaned indada: Ol men et kin kompokeki me dipan akan o ian irail jakajak.
3Then Jesus told them this parable:
3A a kotin majani on irail karajeraj wet:
4“What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the pasture and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it?
4Ij aramaj re omail me na jip epuki, a ma amen irail jalonalar me jo pan pwilikidi ir duekduemen nan wel ap raparapaki me jalonalar, lao a pan diarada i?
5And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders,
5A lao diarada i, a kidan pon pop a pereperen.
6comes home, and calls together his friends and neighbors to tell them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep!’
6A lao pure don deu a, a kin eker pena kompokepa kan o men imp a kan indai on irail: Komail ian ia perenda, pwe i diaradar nai jip me jalonalar.
7In the same way, I tell you that there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous ones who do not need to repent.
7I indai on komail, nan iduen peren pil pan mi nanlan pweki me dipan me ta men, me kalula, jan duekduemen me pun ap jota mau on kalula.
8Or what woman who has ten silver coins and loses one of them does not light a lamp, sweep her house, and search carefully until she finds it?
8O ij li o me na denar eijok, eu ap jalonala jan, me jo pan ijikada lamp o koke im o, o raparapaki mau, lao a pan diarada?
9And when she finds it, she calls together her friends and neighbors to say, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost coin.’
9A lao diaradar i, a kin eker pena kompokepa kan o men imp a kan indai on irail: Komail ian ia perenda, pwe i diarada ai denar o, me jalonalar.
10In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.”
10Nan I indai on komail, iduen peren mi ren tounlan en Kot akan, pweki me dipan me ta men, me kalula.
11Then Jesus said, “There was a man who had two sons.
11A kotin majani: Aramaj amen mia, me na ol riamen.
12The younger son said to him, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.
12A me tikitik re ’ra indai on jam a: Jam ai, kotiki don ia pwaij ai en jojo, me udan ai. I ari nene on ira ara dipijou kan.
13After a few days, the younger son got everything together and journeyed to a distant country, where he squandered his wealth in wild living.
13A murin ran akai me tikitik ren ol oko ki pena a dipijou karoj, ap jailokalan jap doo, waja a kajela mal a kapwa kan nin tiak jued.
14After he had spent all he had, a severe famine swept through that country, and he began to be in need.
14A lao kamuje weita a kapwa karoj, lek lapalap ap pwaida jap o, i ari dupokalar.
15So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed the pigs.
15I ap koieila dodok ren me pweledan jap o men. I ap kadarala i, pwen kamana na pwik kan.
16He longed to fill his belly with the pods the pigs were eating, but no one would give him a thing.
16I ari inon ion, kankan wan tuka kai, me pwik kin namenam, a jota me mueid on i.
17Finally he came to his senses and said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have plenty of food? But here I am, starving to death!
17A kadekadeo i lao lolekonalar, ap indada: Ladu me depa mi ren jam ai, me kan ar mana me rak, a nai pan mekila jo kan ai mana.
18I will get up and go back to my father and say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.
18I pan uda purela ren jam ai indai on i: Jam ai, i wiadar dip on nanlan o on komui.
19I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.”’
19I jolar waron adaneki noumui putak, komui ari wia kin ia ladu ’mui men.
20So he got up and went to his father. But while he was still in the distance, his father saw him and was filled with compassion. He ran to his son, embraced him, and kissed him.
20I ari uda purela ren jam a. A ni a mi waja doo, jam a kilanada i, ap pokela, pitipiti don i o polodi i, metik i.
21The son declared, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
21A putak o indai on i: Jam ai, i wiadar dip on nanlan o on komui, i jolar war on adaneki noumui putak.
22But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.
22A jam majani on na ladu kan: Wado likau kajampwal o kalikauwia kida i, o ki on rin ni jendin pa a, o jut ni na a kan.
23Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let us feast and celebrate.
23O wado kau pul wi o kamela, pwe kitail en kan o pereperen.
24For this son of mine was dead and is alive again! He was lost and is found!’ So they began to celebrate.
24Pwe nai putak men et melar ap mauredar, a jalonalar ap diarokadar. Irail ari perendar.
25Meanwhile the older son was in the field, and as he approached the house, he heard music and dancing.
25A na putak laud mi nan jap o. Ni a pure don koren ion im o, ap ronadar kakaul o kakalek,
26So he called one of the servants and asked what was going on.
26Ap kalelapok ren ladu men duen ar wiawia.
27‘Your brother has returned,’ he said, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has him back safe and sound.’
27A indan i: Ri omui ol puredo, jam omui ap kamela kau pul wi o, pwe a diaradar I memaur o kelail.
28The older son became angry and refused to go in. So his father came out and pleaded with him.
28A ap makara kida o jota men pedelon, jam a ap pedoi don re a poekipoeki.
29But he answered his father, ‘Look, all these years I have served you and never disobeyed a commandment of yours. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends.
29A a japen indan jam a: Kom mani, par toto me i papa komui, o i jaikenta kawela eu omui majan akan, a kom jota kotiki on ia kijin kut amen, i en kamadipeki kompoke pai kan.
30But when this son of yours returns from squandering your wealth with prostitutes, you kill the fattened calf for him!’
30A noumui putak men et lao kodo, murin a kamuje wei a dipijou ren me jued akan, komui ap ijik on i kau pul wi o.
31‘Son, you are always with me,’ the father said, ‘and all that is mine is yours.
31Jam a ap majani on i: Nai jeri, koe kin mimieta re ian jau karoj, o ai meakaroj me om.
32But it was fitting to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’”
32Me mau, koe en peren o injenemau. Pwe ri om ol men et melar, ap mauredar, a jalonalar ap diarokadar.
