Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who then is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”
1NI auer ota tounpadak kan poto don Iejuj potoan on: Iaduen ij me pan lapalap nan wein nanlan?
2Jesus invited a little child to stand among them.
2Iejuj lao kotin molipeido kijin amen, ap kotin kotiki on nan pun arail,
3“Truly I tell you,” He said, “unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
3Majani: Melel I indai on komail, ma komail jota pan wukila, wiala jon en kijin jeri, komail jota pan kak ko on nan wein nanlan.
4Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
4Ari, meamen pan kajapwiledi pein i, dueta kijin jeri men et, i me pan lapalap nan wein nanlan.
5And whoever welcomes a little child like this in My name welcomes Me.
5O ma amen apwali kijin jeri men due met ni ad ai, i me kin apwali ia.
6But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
6A meamen me pan kamakar amen ir, me tikitik, me pojon ia, a mau on, takai en plaua eu en jali on tapin wor a, ap kamopela nan madau waja me lol.
7Woe to the world for the causes of sin. These stumbling blocks must come, but woe to the man through whom they come!
7Juedi on jappa pweki a men kamakar akan, Ari jo, men kamakar akan udan mia; juedi on aramaj o, me men kamakar pan tapi jan ia.
8If your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life crippled or lame than to have two hands and two feet and be thrown into the eternal fire.
8A ma apali en pa om de apali en ne om pan kamakar uk, lepuke jan, o kaje jan uk, pwe a mau on uk ko on maur ni om danidan de jikilikil, jan om pa de na pokon mia, ap ko on kijiniai joutuk.
9And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.
9O ma apali en maj om pan kamakar uk, waikada jan o kaje jan uk, pwe a mau on uk, ko on maur ni om maj pali, jan maj om pokon mia ap lokidokila nan iai en pweleko.
10See that you do not look down on any of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of My Father in heaven.
10Kalaka, pwe komail der mamaleki amen tikitik pukat; pwe I indai on komail, me arail tounlan kan, me mi nanlan, kin ariri Jam ai, me kotikot nanlan.
no verse 11 in this text
11Pwe Nain aramaj kodon dorela, me jalonalar akan.
12What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go out to search for the one that is lost?
12Da me komail lamelame, ma aramaj amen, naineki jip epuki, a amen irail pan jalonala, a jo pan pwilikidi duekduamen pon nana, ap kola raparapaki me jaloriala?
13And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he rejoices more over that one sheep than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray.
13A ma a pan diar, melel I indai on komail, a pan peren kida, me men en jan duekduamen, me jota jalonalar.
14In the same way, your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.
14Iduen Jam omail, me kotikot nanlan, jota kotin men, amen kijin jeri pukat en jalonala.
15If your brother sins against you, go and confront him privately. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over.
15A ma ri om ol wia dip on uk, en kelep kila i, kapun on i dip a; ma a pan ron uk, nan koe kajapaledo ri om.
16But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’
16A ma a jota pan ron uk, ap ukada amen de riamen, pwe meakaroj en mi ren jaunkadede riamen de jilimen.
17If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, regard him as you would a pagan or a tax collector.
17A ma a kan ron irail, ap kaireki momodijou, a ma a pil kan ron momodijou, ap wia kin i men liki o jaunopwei men.
18Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
18Melel I indai on komail, me komail pan jaliedi nin jappa, pan jalidi nanlan, o me komail pan lapwada nin jappa, pan lapwada nanlan.
19Again, I tell you truly that if two of you on the earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by My Father in heaven.
19I pil indai on komail, ma riamen nin jappa pan minimin pene ni meakot, me re men poeki, a pan pwai on ira jan Jam ai, me kotikot nanlan.
20For where two or three gather together in My name, there am I with them.”
20Pwe waja kij, me riamen de jilimen pokon pena ni ad ai, i waja I kin mi nan pun arail.
21Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother who sins against me? Up to seven times?”
21Petruj ap kai don i potoan on: Main, pan pak depa i en makeki on ri ai ol o, me wia dip on ia? A itar ma a pan me Ijepak?
22Jesus answered, “I tell you, not just seven times, but seventy-seven times!
22lejuj kotin majani on i: I indai on uk, kaidin ijepak eta, a pan pak iju wad ijeijok.
23Because of this, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.
23I me wein nanlan rajon nanmarki amen, me pan kapukapun na ladu kan.
24As he began the settlements, a debtor was brought to him owing ten thousand talents.
24A ni a tapiada kapukapun, amen ap wijike don i, me pwaipwaimdeki talent nen.
25Since the man was unable to pay, the master ordered that he be sold to pay his debt, along with his wife and children and everything he owned.
25A ni jota a men pwain, a monjap ap majanier, me a pan netila, o a paud, o na jeri kan, o karoj, me a aneki, pwen pwainda.
26Then the servant fell on his knees before him. ‘Have patience with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’
26A ladu o ap poridi mo a poni, potoan on: Main kom kotin kanonama on ia, i pan pwain on komui karoj.
27His master had compassion on him, forgave his debt, and released him.
27A monjap en ladu o ap pokela, ap lapwada o makeki on i a pwaipwand.
28But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii. He grabbed him and began to choke him, saying, ‘Pay back what you owe me!’
28A ladu ota ap koieila, diaradar kij a ladu amen, me pwaipwand on i denar epuki; i ari koledi i, padik pena tapin wor a indada: Kapunala, ma om pwaipwand mia.
29So his fellow servant fell down and begged him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you back.’
29Ladu ap poridi mo a, poeki indada: Kom kotin kanonama on ia, i pan pwain on komui.
30But he refused. Instead, he went and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay his debt.
30A a kan, ap koieila, kajedi on nan imaten lao a kapunala a pwaipwand.
31When his fellow servants saw what had happened, they were greatly distressed, and they went and recounted all of this to their master.
31A kij a ladu kan lao kilaner me wiauier, rap mauk kaualap, koieila kaireki arail monjap karoj, me wiauier.
32Then the master summoned him and declared, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave all your debt because you begged me.
32A monjap ap ekere don i, majani on i: Koe meid ladu jued amen! I make ki on uk er om pwaipwand karoj pweki om poeki re i.
33Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had on you?’
33Menda koe jota kadek on ri om ladu, duen i kin kadek on uk er?
34In anger his master turned him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should repay all that he owed.
34A monjap ap makar kidar o panalan i ren jaun kalokolok lao a kapunalar a pwaipwand karujia.
35That is how My heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother from your heart.”
35Iduen Jam ai nanlan, pan pil wia on komail, ma komail jota pan makeki jan nan monion omail on ri omail.
