Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1Hear this, all you peoples; listen, all inhabitants of the world,
1Komail kainok kan karoj ro n o dedeki, komail toun jap karoj.
2both low and high, rich and poor alike.
2Ir karoj, aramaj o jaupeidi, ir karoj me kapwapwa o jamama kan!
3My mouth will impart wisdom, and the meditation of my heart will bring understanding.
3Au ai pan kaparok duen loleko n , o mo n io n I duen lamalam pu n .
4I will incline my ear to a proverb; I will express my riddle with the harp:
4I pan kapaike do n jalo n ai lepen majan, o i pan kajaleda me rir akan ni n il en arp.
5Why should I fear in times of trouble, when wicked usurpers surround me?
5Da me i en majak ni ran apwal akan, ma me japu n kan kapil ia pena,
6They trust in their wealth and boast in their great riches.
6Me kin kaporoporeki ar dipijou o juaiki ar kapwa toto?
7No man can possibly redeem his brother or pay his ransom to God.
7Pwe jota me kak dorela ri a, de tomeki i ren Kot,
8For the redemption of his soul is costly, and never can payment suffice,
8(Pwe meid apwal, en dorela n en ar; a jota pan pwaida kokolata).
9that he should live on forever and not see decay.
9Pwen maur potopot o jota kila n joujou o.
10For it is clear that wise men die, and the foolish and the senseless both perish and leave their wealth to others.
10Pwe a kin kila n , me loleko n kan kin mela dueta me pweipwei o iakalar akan, o re pan mueid o n amen ar dipijou kan.
11Their graves are their eternal homes— their dwellings for endless generations— even though their lands were their namesakes.
11I me re kin peren kida, ma im arail pan duedueta, o deu ’rail pan mimieta kokolata; o re konekon melel nin jappa.
12But a man, despite his wealth, cannot endure; he is like the beasts that perish.
12Ari jo, aramaj me konekon jota kak mimieta ni mepukat, pwe a pan kokowei dueta man amen.
13This is the fate of the self-confident and their followers who endorse their sayings. Selah
13let ar wiawia pukat meid pweipwei; ari jo, kadaudok ar kin kapi n a ki au arail.
14Like sheep they are destined for Sheol. Death will be their shepherd. The upright will rule them in the morning, and their form will decay in Sheol, far from their lofty abode.
14Re wonon nan wajan mela dueta pwin jip; mela kin kama n a ir; a me lelapok kan pan kaun irail da mada n , o mom ar pan joredi, o re pan doo ja n deurail, mimieta nan pweleko.
15But God will redeem my life from Sheol, for He will surely take me to Himself. Selah
15A Kot pan kotin dorela n en i jan nan mana en wajan mela, pwe a pan kotin japwilimane kin ia.
16Do not be amazed when a man grows rich, when the splendor of his house increases.
16Koe der puriamuiki, ma amen pan kapwapwala, o ma li n an en im a pan laudala.
17For when he dies, he will carry nothing away; his abundance will not follow him down.
17Pwe a jota pan wala meakot ni a pan mela, o a li n an jota pan idauenla i.
18Though in his lifetime he blesses his soul— and men praise you when you prosper—
18A kin injenemau kila peren en maur kajelel wet, o aramaj kin kapi n a ir, me kin apapwali pein ir eta ni maur et.
19he will join the generation of his fathers, who will never see the light of day.
19A pan idauen la jam a kan, ap jolar kila n marain kokolata.
20A man who has riches without understanding is like the beasts that perish.
20Ari, ma aramaj amen indand mau, ap jota a lamalam, a pan kokowei dueta man amen.
