Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1Follow after charity, be zealous for spiritual gifts; but rather that you may prophesy.
1KOMAIL anane limpok, pil inon ion pai nenin akan, a iet me kajampwal re ’rail, kokopada!
2For he that speaketh in a tongue, speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man heareth. Yet by the Spirit he speaketh mysteries.
2Pwe me kin lokaia kida nil en wai, kaidin aramaj akan, me a kin lokaia on, a on Kot, pwe jota amen kin dedeki; ari jo, ni nen o a kin lokaia kida me rir akan.
3But he that prophesieth, speaketh to men unto edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
3A me kin kokop, kin padaki on aramaj akan, pwen kamaui, o panau o kamait ir ala.
4He that speaketh in a tongue, edifieth himself: but he that prophesieth, edifieth the church.
4A me lokaiaki nil en wai, kin kamaui pein i, a me kin kokop, kin kamaui momodijou.
5And I would have you all to speak with tongues, but rather to prophesy. For greater is he that prophesieth, than he that speaketh with tongues: unless perhaps he interpret, that the church may receive edification.
5I men, komail karoj en aja lokaia ki nil toror, a mak eta, komail en kokopada, pwe me kin kokopada, me lapa jan me kin kaparok ki nil toror, ma a jo kak kajiriwukila, pwe momodijou en kamaukila.
6But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I speak to you either in revelation, or in knowledge, or in prophecy, or in doctrine?
6Ari ri ai kan, ma i pwara won komail, ap lokaia ki nil toror, da katepa on komail, ma I jota kaweweda de kajanjaleda, de kokopada, de padak?
7Even things without life that give sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction of sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?
7Iduen meakan, me kin lokolokaia ap jota memaur, ma men kwai de arp jota pan nor pajan, ij me pan kak dedeki, da me ira kauleki?
8For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?
8O ma koronete pan popeuk pin, ij me pan onopadan mauin?
9So likewise you, except you utter by the tongue plain speech, how shall it be known what is said? For you shall be speaking into the air.
9A iduen komail, ma komail pan lokaia ki nil toror, ap jota kaweweda, ij me pan dedeki? Pwe omail lokaia pan me mal kot.
10There are, for example, so many kinds of tongues in this world; and none is without voice.
10Jon en lokaia toto nan jappa, a jota eu me jo puloi.
11If then I know not the power of the voice, I shall be to him to whom I speak a barbarian; and he that speaketh, a barbarian to me.
11A ma i jaja wewe en lokaia eu, i pan rajon men wai men on me kin kaparok, o me kin kaparok, pan rajon men wai men on ia.
12So you also, forasmuch as you are zealous of spirits, seek to abound unto the edifying of the church.
12A pil dueta komail, pwe komail kin anane pai nenin akan, komail ari pil nonki kakairida ni mepukat, pwen kamauie kila momodijou.
13And therefore he that speaketh by a tongue, let him pray that he may interpret.
13A ma amen lokaia kida nil en wai, i en kapakap ap pil kajiriwukila.
14For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is without fruit.
14Pwe ma i wia kapakap ki lokaia nil en wai eu, nen i kin kapakap ap jota katepa on amen.
15What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, I will pray also with the understanding; I will sing with the spirit, I will sing also with the understanding.
15Ari, da me i pan wia? I pan kapakap ni nen i ap pil pan kapakap ni ai lamelam; i pan kapina ni nen i ap pil kapina ni ai lamelam.
16Else if thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that holdeth the place of the unlearned say, Amen, to thy blessing? because he knoweth not what thou sayest.
16A ma koe pan kapaiada ki nen o, iaduen me jota dedeki pan kak inda amen murin om kapina? Pwe a jaja me koe indinda.
17For thou indeed givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.
17Ei me mau melel om kapikapina, a jota kadepa on me teio.
18I thank my God I speak with all your tongues.
18I kin danke Kot, pweki i kin lokaiaki nil toror jan komail.
19But in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that I may instruct others also; than ten thousand words in a tongue.
19Ari jo nan momodijou i men kida lep in lokaia limau, me pwili jan ai lamelam jan lep in lokaia nen ni nil toror, pwen padaki on me tei kan.
20Brethren, do not become children in sense: but in malice be children, and in sense be perfect.
20Ri ai kan, komail der wiala jeri ni omail lamelam, a ni me jued komail en rajon kijin jeri, a ni omail lamelam komail en unjokela.
21In the law it is written: In other tongues and other lips I will speak to this people; and neither so will they hear me, saith the Lord.
21A intinidier nan kapun: Lokaia o kil en aua toror, me I pan lokaiaki on kainok wet, a re pil jota pan duki on ia, me Kaun o kotin majani.
22Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to believers, but to unbelievers; but prophecies not to unbelievers, but to believers.
22Nan i me lokaia toror mia, pwen kileledi kaidin me pojon akan, a me jopojon akan; a deideikop kaidin on me jopojon akan, pwe on me pojon akan.
23If therefore the whole church come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in unlearned persons or infidels, will they not say that you are mad?
23A ma momodijou pan pokon pena waja kij, o ma karoj pan lokaia ni nil toror, a ma akai ian me jota dedeki, de akai me jopojon, irail jota pan inda, me komail iakalar?
24But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or an unlearned person, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all.
24A ma karoj kin kokop, o amen pan pwarado, me jopojon, o me jota dedeki, karoj pan kajanjale on i dip a, o a pan pakajaui ren karoj.
25The secrets of his heart are made manifest; and so, falling down on his face, he will adore God, affirming that God is among you indeed.
25Iduen a me rir akan nan monion i pan janjaleda, o a pan tairokedi ni maj a, kaudoki on Kot, o pan inda, melel Kot kotikot re omail.
26How is it then, brethren? When you come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a revelation, hath a tongue, hath an interpretation: let all things be done to edification.
26Ri ai kan, iaduen komail ni omail pokon pena, kaidin amen amen kin kida pjalm eu? A amen kin kawewe, a amen nil toror, a amen kajanjal eu, a amen kin kajiriwukila; a karoj en wiaui, en kamauiada.
27If any speak with a tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and in course, and let one interpret.
27A ma amen pan wia nil en wai, me ta riamen, de ma me toto, re pan jilimen, a irail pan irok wei a amen en kajirawukila.
28But if there be no interpreter, let him hold his peace in the church, and speak to himself and to God.
28A ma jota men kajiriwuk mia, i en nenenla nan momodijou; a en kajoi on pein i o Kot.
29And let the prophets speak, two or three; and let the rest judge.
29A riamen de jilimen ren jaukop akan pan kak kaparok, a me tei kan en kajauiada.
30But if any thing be revealed to another sitting, let the first hold his peace.
30A ma amen, ren me momod waja o, pan diar kajanjal eu, men maj ap pan nenenla.
31For you may all prophesy one by one; that all may learn, and all may be exhorted:
31A komail karoj kak kokop, irok weida, pwe karoj en padakki o kamaitala.
32And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
32A nen en jaukop akan kin duki on jaukop akan.
33For God is not the God of dissension, but of peace: as also I teach in all the churches of the saints.
33Pwe kaidin komoan me pin men Kot, a en popol duen ni momodijou en jaraui akan karoj.
34Let women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted them to speak, but to be subject, as also the law saith.
34Omail li akan en nenenla nan momodijou kan, pwe a jota muei on irail, en kaparok; a irail en papa, duen kapun me pil majani.
35But if they would learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is a shame for a woman to speak in the church.
35A ma irail men aja okotme, irail en kalelapok ren arail warok kan ni deu ’rail, pwe me kanamenok, li en kaparok nan momodijou.
36Or did the word of God come out from you? Or came it only unto you?
36De majan en Kot tapi jan komail? De a ko won komail eta?
37If any seem to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him know the things that I write to you, that they are the commandments of the Lord.
37A ma amen lamelame, me a jaukop amen, de me a nenin, a en aja wewe en me i intinki won komail, pwe mepukat kujoned en Kaun o.
38But if any man know not, he shall not be known.
38A ma amen lolepon, i en lolepon.
39Wherefore, brethren, be zealous to prophesy; and forbid not to speak with tongues.
39Ari ri ai kan en inon ion kokop, o ender kainapwi lokaia nil toror.
40But let all things be done decently, and according to order.
40A meakaroj en wiaui nin tiak mau o pun.
