Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.
1MELEL, Kot kompoke pan men Ijrael, irail me makelekel nan monion arail.
2But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled; my steps had nearly slipped.
2A n ai, ekij ta, a na i kat pan lodi, o I koren io n krijedi ni ai kakakawei.
3For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
3Pwe I juedeki me aklapalap akan, ni ai kila n er en me japu n akn ar pwaidar.
4They have no struggle in their death; their bodies are well-fed.
4Pwe jota apwal kot lel o n irail ni ar pan mela, re kin kelail o war arail wilar melel.
5They are free of the burdens others carry; they are not afflicted like other men.
5Jota ar apwal kot dueta aramaj tei kan, o re jota pan kalokolok dueta aramaj tei kan.
6Therefore pride is their necklace; a garment of violence covers them.
6Ari aklapalap, iei kapwat en tapin wor arail, o arail likau, iei arail tiak weit.
7From their prosperity proceeds iniquity; the imaginations of their hearts run wild.
7Por en maj arail tikitik o jued kilar ar wilar, o re kin wiada, me re ino n io n .
8They mock and speak with malice; with arrogance they threaten oppression.
8Re kin mamaleki meakaroj, o re kin lokelokaia me jued, o re kin lalaue o lokaia ni ar aklapalap.
9They set their mouths against the heavens, and their tongues strut across the earth.
9Dene arail lokaia tapi ja n nanla n , o me irail indinda, dene I eta me pu n ni jappa.
10So their people return to this place and drink up waters in abundance.
10I me aramaj akan lokididi o n irail; o pil totoia re kin nimala.
11The wicked say, “How can God know? Does the Most High have knowledge?”
11Re kin inda: Iaduen, Kot pan kotin injenoki irail? O menda ren me aklapalap irail?
12Behold, these are the wicked— always carefree as they increase their wealth.
12Kila n , iduen me doo ja n Kot akan; irail meid pai nin jappa, o re pan kapwapwala.
13Surely in vain I have kept my heart pure; in innocence I have washed my hands.
13Iaduen, likamata jota katopa ai kamakelekeladar mo n io n i o kaminela pa i kat ni me pu n ?
14For I am afflicted all day long and punished every morning.
14Pwe ran karoj i pan kalokolok, o ni manjan karoj ai kamekam mia.
15If I had said, “I will speak this way,” then I would have betrayed Your children.
15Koren io n i pil pan indinda dueta irail, a jo, pwe i de pan juedeki japwilim omui jeri kan karoj ja n maj kokodo lel met.
16When I tried to understand all this, it was troublesome in my sight
16I ap madamadaua duen mepukat, pwen dedeki, a i jota kak o n .
17until I entered God’s sanctuary; then I discerned their end.
17N ai lao pedelo n o n mon mol en Kot jaraui o kila n er imwin mo doo ja n Kot akan.
18Surely You set them on slick ground; You cast them down into ruin.
18Melel kom kotin pwili kin irail edi waja likakerij; kom kotin kapup irail edi o n nani pwel.
19How suddenly they are laid waste, completely swept away by terrors!
19Iaduen arail mada n joredier. Irail lokidokila, o imwila ’rail meid kamajapwek.
20Like one waking from a dream, so You, O Lord, awaken and despise their form.
20Mai n Ieowa, kom kin kotin kawela mom arail nan kanim o dueta auramen.
21When my heart was grieved and I was pierced within,
21Ni ai madak nan mo n io n i, o waiwairok nan ai mudilik kan,
22I was senseless and ignorant; I was a brute beast before You.
22I ap diaradar, me n ai ol pweipwei men, me jota aja meakot; dueta man amen mo omui.
23Yet I am always with You; You hold my right hand.
23Ari jo, i pan mimieta re omui kokolata, pwe komui kotin kolekol eta pa i pali maun.
24You guide me with Your counsel, and later receive me in glory.
24Komui kin kalua ia duen kupur omui, o kom pan kotin kajamo ia nan li n an omui.
25Whom have I in heaven but You? And on earth I desire no one besides You.
25Ma komui ta ai Kot, i jota pan anane meakot nanla n de jappa.
26My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
26Ma pali war ai o n en i pan dupokala, pil menda, pwe komui Mai n Kot kamait pa i o pwaij ai kokolata.
27Those far from You will surely perish; You destroy all who are unfaithful to You.
27Pwe kom kotin ma n i irail, me muei ja n komui pan lokidokila; Kom pan kotin kajapokela karoj, me wuki wei ja n komui.
28But as for me, it is good to draw near to God. I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, that I may proclaim all Your works.
28A iet ai peren, i en te n ete n o n Kot, o i en kaporoporeki Kot leowa, pwen kalok jili omui wia wia kan karoj.
