Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather, has discovered?
1ARI da me kitail en inda duen Apraam jam atail ni pali uduk, da me a diaradar?
2If Abraham was indeed justified by works, he had something to boast about, but not before God.
2Pwe ma Apraam pun kilar a wiawia kan, nan a men juaiki mia, a kaidin mon Kot.
3For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
3Pwe da me kijin likau majanier? Apraam pojon Kot, o i me wadok on i kapuna pa.
4Now the wages of the worker are not credited as a gift, but as an obligation.
4A me kin keleki a wiawia kan, nan pwain a pan wad on i nin tiak en kujoned a kaidin ni mak.
5However, to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness.
5A me jota kin keleki a wiawia kan, ap pojon i, me kin kapunala me doo jan Kot akan, nan a pojon me wadok on i kapuna pa i.
6And David speaks likewise of the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
6Duen Dawid kapaiaki aramaj amen, me Kot kotin kapunala likin a wiawia kan:
7“Blessed are they whose lawless acts are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
7Meid pai, me ar japun kan lapwadar, o me dip ar akan pwaipwaidier!
8Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against him.”
8Meid pai ol o, me Kaun o jolar pan kapokoki on dip a!
9Is this blessing only on the circumcised, or also on the uncircumcised? We have been saying that Abraham’s faith was credited to him as righteousness.
9Ari, me jirkomjaij eta, me pai wet kin ko on, de a pil itar on me jojirkomjaij? Pwe kit me indada: En Apraam a pojon me wadok on i kapune pa.
10In what context was it credited? Was it after his circumcision, or before? It was not after, but before.
10Ari, iaduen a wadok on i? Ni a jirkomjaijelar de ni a jojirkomjaijelar? Kaidin ni jirkomjaij, pwe ni a jojirkomjaij.
11And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. So then, he is the father of all who believe but are not circumcised, in order that righteousness might be credited to them.
11A a aleer kilel en jirkomjaij, men kadede a pun kilar pojon, me a anekier ni a jojirkomjaij, pwen wiala jam en me pojon ap jojirkomjaij akan karoj, pwe pun wet en pil wadok on irail.
12And he is also the father of the circumcised who not only are circumcised, but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.
12O pil wiala jam en me jirkomjaij akan. A kaidin arail me jirkomjaij akan eta, pwe pil en irail, me aluki pojon ota, me mi ren jam atail Apraam ni a jojirkomjaij.
13For the promise to Abraham and his offspring that he would be heir of the world was not given through the law, but through the righteousness that comes by faith.
13Pwe kaidin ki kapun o me Apraam o kadaudok a aleer inau o, me a pan jojoki jappa, a ki pojon pun.
14For if those who live by the law are heirs, faith is useless and the promise is worthless,
14Pwe ma irail, me men kapwaiada kapun o, pan ale jojo, nan pojon me mal kot, o inau olar.
15because the law brings wrath. And where there is no law, there is no transgression.
15Pwe kapun o kin kareda onion, pwe ma jota kapun, a pil jota japun.
16Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may rest on grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham’s offspring—not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all.
16I me pun pan tapi jan ni pojon, pwe karoj en tapi jan mak; o inau on kadaudok o en teneten. A kaidin ir eta, me mi pan kapun o, pwe pil karoj, me mi pan pojon en Apraam, me jam en kitail karoj.
17As it is written: “I have made you a father of many nations.” He is our father in the presence of God, in whom he believed, the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being what does not yet exist.
17Duen a intinidier: I wia kin uk alar jam en wein jappa toto mon Kot, me a pojon me kin kamaureda me melar akan o molipei ir, me jaikenta mia, pwen miala.
18Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as he had been told, “So shall your offspring be.”
18I me pojon, ap jota kaporopor mia, pwen wiala jam en wein jappa toto, duen a lokido: Nan iduen kadaudok om.
19Without weakening in his faith, he acknowledged the decrepitness of his body (since he was about a hundred years old) and the lifelessness of Sarah’s womb.
19Ap jota luetalar ni a pojon o jo lamelame, me war a melar, pwe a koren ion jaunpar epuki; pil jota lamelame war en Jara a melar.
20Yet he did not waver through disbelief in the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God,
20Pwe a jota peikajaleki inau en Kot ki jopojon, a a kakairida ni pojon, o i me a kin kapinaki Kot.
21being fully persuaded that God was able to do what He had promised.
21A aja melelia, me i kotin inauki on i, a pan kotin kapwaiada.
22This is why “it was credited to him as righteousness.”
22Nan i wadok on i kapuna pa.
23Now the words “it was credited to him” were written not only for Abraham,
23Mepukat jota intinidier pweki i eta, me a wadok on i mepukat,
24but also for us, to whom righteousness will be credited—for us who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.
24A pil pweki kitail, me a pan wadok on, ma kitail pan pojon i, me kotin kaiajadar Iejuj atail Kaun jan ren me melar akan.
25He was delivered over to death for our trespasses and was raised to life for our justification.
25Pwe i me panalar pweki dip atail, o a kotin iajadar pwen kapun patail.
