Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1Once again, Jesus spoke to them in parables:
1A IEJUJ kotin japen o pil karajeraj on irail majani:
2“The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son.
2Wein nanlan raj on nanmarki amen, me kamadipe na ol ni ran en a kapapaud.
3He sent his servants to call those he had invited to the banquet, but they refused to come.
3O a kadarala na ladu kan, pwen luke don kamadip o, me kileledier akan; a re kan kodo.
4Again, he sent other servants and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner. My oxen and fattened cattle have been killed, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’
4A pil kadarala akai ladu majani: Kaireki me kileledier akan: Kilan, i kaonopadar ai kamadip o: nai kau ol o man wi kan me kamelar, o karoj nikier, ko don kamadip en kapapaud!
5But they paid no attention and went away, one to his field, another to his business.
5A irail jota injenoki, ap kowei, amen nan japwe, o amen ko on dodok.
6The rest seized his servants, mistreated them, and killed them.
6A me tei kan jaikidi a ladu kan kaloke o kame ir ala.
7The king was enraged, and he sent his troops to destroy those murderers and burn their city.
7Nanmarki ap makara kidar, kadarala a jaunpei kan, kamela me lolap oko o ijikedar ar kanim
8Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited were not worthy.
8A ap indan a ladu kan: Ari, kamadip onoper, a me kileledier akan jota war on.
9Go therefore to the crossroads and invite to the banquet as many as you can find.’
9Komail ari kowei nan al akan, a karoj me komail diar, en kalua don kamadip o.
10So the servants went out into the streets and gathered everyone they could find, both evil and good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests.
10Ladu kan ap kola nani al akan, kapokon pena karoj, me irail diaradar, me jued o me mau kan kamadip ari tounlar.
11But when the king came in to see the guests, he spotted a man who was not dressed in wedding clothes.
11A nanmarki lao pwarado, en kilan toun kamadip, ap diaradar aramaj amen, me jota a kapwat,
12‘Friend,’ he asked, ‘how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ But the man was speechless.
12A ap majani on i: Kompoke pai, iaduen om kak pedelon, pwe jota om kapwat? I ari japai mokid.
13Then the king told the servants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
13Nanmarki ap majani on papa kan: Jaliedi i pa o na akan, ale o kajapokela nan rotorot liki iei wajan maiei o teterok.
14For many are called, but few are chosen.”
14Pwe me toto paekeredo, a me malaulau piladar.
15Then the Pharisees went out and conspired to trap Jesus in His words.
15Parijar ap pokon pena, kaparok pena duen ar pan kajapuna i jan a majan;
16They sent their disciples to Him along with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know that You are honest and that You teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You seek favor from no one, because You pay no attention to external appearance.
16Irail ap kadaralan i nairail tounpadak kan ianaki ladun Erodej kan, potoan on: Jaunpadak, je aja, ir me kotin melel, o kotin kawewe melel duen al en Kot o re jota kotin kupuroki meamen, pwe re jota kotin kajampwaleki janjal en aramaj.
17So tell us what You think: Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
17Ari, re kotin majani on kit kupur ar. Me pun, en nopwei on nanmarki de jo?
18But Jesus knew their evil intent and said, “You hypocrites, why are you testing Me?
18A Iejuj lao kotin mani ar me juet, ap majani: Malaun komail, da me komail kajonejon kin ia?
19Show Me the coin used for the tax.” And they brought Him a denarius.
19Kajale don ia moni en nopwei! Irail ap potoan on i denar eu.
20“Whose image is this,” He asked, “and whose inscription?”
20A kotin majani on irail: Mom en ij o intin wet?
21“Caesar’s,” they answered. So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”
21Irail potoan on i: En nanmarki, a i kotin majani on irail: Ari, komail ki on nanmarki, me nain nanmarki, o on Kot, me japwilim en Kot.
22And when they heard this, they were amazed. So they left Him and went away.
22Irail lao ronadar met, rap puriamuiki o muei jan i, o koin lar.
23That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him.
23Ran ota Jadujar akai ko don i, me kin inda, me dene me melar akan jolar pan maureda, ap kalelapok re a.
24“Teacher,” they said, “Moses declared that if a man dies without having children, his brother is to marry the widow and raise up offspring for him.
24Indada: Jaunpadak, Mojej majani, ma meamen melar o jota na jeri, ri a ol en id paudeki a paud, pwen kaipwi on ri a kadaudok a.
25Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died without having children. So he left his wife to his brother.
25Ari, pwin pirien eu mi re at, ol ijimen. Mejeni paudeki li amen, ap melar, a jota kadaudok a, ap kakaliki on ri a ol a paud;
26The same thing happened to the second and third brothers, down to the seventh.
26Pil dueta kariamen o kajili men kokola lao kaijimen.
27And last of all, the woman died.
27A ikmuri li o pil melar.
28In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be of the seven? For all of them were married to her.”
28Ari; ni en me melar akan ar pan iajada, a pan en ij a paud ren me ijimen, pwe irail karoj me paudekidar i?
29Jesus answered, “You are mistaken because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.
29A Iejuj kotin japen majani on irail: Komail meid japun pwe komail jo weweki kijin likau kan de mana en Kot.
30In the resurrection, people will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.
30Pwe me mauredar akan jolar pan papaud de kapapaud, pwe irail dueta tounlan en Kot akan, me mimi nanlan.
31But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what God said to you:
31Komail jaik doropwe duen en melar akan ar pan maureda, me lolok on komail jan ren Kot, me kotin majani:
32‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”
32Nai Kot en Apraam o en Ijaak o en Iakop? A kaidin Kot en me melar akan, pwe en me maur akan.
33When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at His teaching.
33A pokon o lao ronadar met, irail ap puriamuiki a padak.
34And when the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they themselves gathered together.
34A Parijar akan lao ronadar, me a kotin kadukiedier Jadujar akan, ap pokon pena.
35One of them, an expert in the law, tested Him with a question:
35Amen irail, jaunkawewe men, kajonjon i potoan on:
36“Teacher, which commandment is the greatest in the Law?”
36Jaunpadak, kujoned da me lapalap nan kapun o?
37Jesus declared, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’
37A Iejuj kotin majani on i: Koe en pokeki on Kot om Kaun monion om unjok, o nen om unjok, o om lamelam unjok.
38This is the first and greatest commandment.
38lei met me moa en kujoned akan.
39And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
39O me kariau me dueta: Koe en pok on men imp om dueta on pein koe.
40All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
40Kujoned riau met me audepan kapun o jaukop akan.
41While the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus questioned them:
41Ni en Parijar akan ar momod pena, Iejuj ap kotin kainoma re ’rail.
42“What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is He?” “David’s,” they answered.
42Majani: Da me komail lamelame duen Krijtuj, nain ij i? Re potoan on: Japwilim en Dawid.
43Jesus said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord’? For he says:
43A kotin majani on irail: A iaduen da me Dawid kaadaneki i Kaun ren Nen ni a majani:
44‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand until I put Your enemies under Your feet.”’
44Kaun o kotin majani on ai Kaun, mondi on ni pali maun i, lao I pan wia kida om imwintiti utipan na om?
45So if David calls Him ‘Lord,’ how can He be David’s son?”
45A iaduen, ma Dawid kaadaneki i Kaun, a pil pan kak na ol?
46No one was able to answer a word, and from that day on no one dared to question Him any further.
46A jota amen, me kak japenki i meakot, o jolar me idok meakot re a kokolata.
