Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1Now concerning the thing whereof you wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
1A IET duen me komail intine don ia, a mau on aramaj amen, a ender jair li amen.
2But for fear of fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
2Ari jo, amen amen en ale pein a warok li, o amen amen en ale pein a warok ol, pwen der dender.
3Let the husband render the debt to his wife, and the wife also in like manner to the husband.
3Ol o en wiai on a warok li me inen, a pil dueta li on a warok ol.
4The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband. And in like manner the husband also hath not power of his own body, but the wife.
4Li o jota kak poedi pein war a, a a warok. Pil dueta ol o jota kak poedi pein war a, a a warok.
5Defraud not one another, except, perhaps, by consent, for a time, that you may give yourselves to prayer; and return together again, lest Satan tempt you for your incontinency.
5Der jo oke amen amen, ma jo, pweki inau anjau kij, pwen mot ijejol rer ekij o kapakap, ap pur pena, pwe Jatan de kajonejon komail omail jo oke pena.
6But I speak this by indulgence, not by commandment.
6Mepukat kaidin kujoned eu, pwe pein ai lamelam.
7For I would that all men were even as myself: but every one hath his proper gift from God; one after this manner, and another after that.
7A i men aramaj akan karoj en dueta nai. A amen amen aleer pein a pai en mak jan ren Kot duen amen amen.
8But I say to the unmarried, and to the widows: It is good for them if they so continue, even as I.
8A nai indai on me jo papaud o li odi kan, me mau irail en dadaur dueta nai.
9But if they do not contain themselves, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to be burnt.
9A ma irail jota kak on, irail en papaud; me mau papaud jan dender.
10But to them that are married, not I but the Lord commandeth, that the wife depart not from her husband.
10O on me papaud akan nai me ilaki wei, a kaidin nai pwe Kauno: Li papaud ender kamuei wei jan a warok!
11And if she depart, that she remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband. And let not the husband put away his wife.
11A ma a muei wei janer, i en dadaurete a kirip de kadeke a warok, o ol ender kajela a warok.
12For to the rest I speak, not the Lord. If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she consent to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
12Kaidin Kaun o, pwe nai men indan me tei kan: Ma ri atail ol amen mia, me a paud jopojon amen, ap men mimieta re a, a ender kajela li o.
13And if any woman hath a husband that believeth not, and he consent to dwell with her, let her not put away her husband.
13Pil dueta li amen, ma a warok jopojon amen o a men mimieta re a, a ender kajela ol o,
14For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the believing wife; and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the believing husband: otherwise your children should be unclean; but now they are holy.
14Pwe ol jopojon me kajaraui kilar li o, o li jopojon kajaraui kilar ol o, pwe ma a jo due met, noumail jeri kan me jamin, a met irail me jaraui.
15But if the unbeliever depart, let him depart. For a brother or sister is not under servitude in such cases. But God hath called us in peace.
15A ma me jopojon o pan muei wei jan, ari i en muei wei jan; ri ol de ri li jota kin kaupindi ni mepukat. A Kot me kotin molipe kitail, pwen popol pena.
16For how knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? Or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
16Pwe iaduen, koe li o, koe aja, me koe pan kak kamaurela ol o? De koe ol, koe pan kamaurela li o?
17But as the Lord hath distributed to every one, as God hath called every one, so let him walk: and so in all churches I teach.
17A duen Kaun o pan on amen amen, duen Kot molipe on amen amen, iduen dadaurata; nan iduen nai ilakilan momodijou akan karoj.
18Is any man called, being circumcised? let him not procure uncircumcision. Is any man called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.
18Ma amen me paeker ni jirkomjaij, i en dadaurata a jirkomjaij, a ma amen me paeker ni jojirkomjaij, i ender ian jirkomjaij.
19Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing: but the observance of the commandments of God.
19Pwe kaidin meakot jirkomjaij, o pil kaidin meakot jojirkomjaij, a wiawia kujoned en Kot akan.
20Let every man abide in the same calling in which he was called.
20Amen amen en dadaurata udan a koa ni a paeker.
21Wast thou called, being a bondman? care not for it; but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.
21Ma koe paeker ni om ladu, koe der injenjuedeki, a ma koe pan kak maioda jan, ari pil me mau.
22For he that is called in the Lord, being a bondman, is the freeman of the Lord. Likewise he that is called, being free, is the bondman of Christ.
22Pwe ladu men, me paeker on Kaun o, nan a maio ren Kaun o; o pil dueta me maio men paeker ap pan ladun Krijtuj men.
23You are bought with a price; be not made the bondslaves of men.
23Komail me neti kidar pai eu, der wiala ladun aramaj akan.
24Brethren, let every man, wherein he was called, therein abide with God.
24Ri ai kan, amen amen dadaurata ut arail ren Kot.
25Now concerning virgins, I have no commandment of the Lord; but I give counsel, as having obtained mercy of the Lord, to be faithful.
25A duen peinekap akan, jota kujoned eu jan ren Kaun o; a pein ai lamelam mia, pwe i aleer mak en Kaun, pwen kak melel.
26I think therefore that this is good for the present necessity, that it is good for a man so to be.
26let me i lameda, me mau on aramaj jota papaud, pwe ni anjau apwal wet.
27Art thou bound to a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
27Ma koe kapapaud on li amen, ender men muei jan, a ma jo om paud mia, ender rapaki li amen.
28But if thou take a wife, thou hast not sinned. And if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned: nevertheless, such shall have tribulation of the flesh. But I spare you.
28A kaidin dip eu, ma koe pan papaud; o ma jeripein amen pan papaud, kaidin dip. A a pan apwal on mepukat ni pali uduk arail. A nai jota men, me apwal kot en lel on komail.
29This therefore I say, brethren; the time is short; it remaineth, that they also who have wives, be as if they had none;
29A ri ai kan, mepukat i indada, pweki anjau o me motomot. A pil eu: Me mau on me ar warok mier, en wia dene jota ar warok;
30And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as if they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;
30O me kin janejan, dene jota janejan; o me kin pereperen, dene jota ar peren; o me kin netinet, dene jota ar kapwa.
31And they that use this world, as if they used it not: for the fashion of this world passeth away.
31O me dodokki jappa, ren kalaka, pwe eder wiaki me jued. Pwe mom en jappa et pan rojala.
32But I would have you to be without solicitude. He that is without a wife, is solicitous for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please God.
32A i men, komail ender lodi on me apwal. Me jota papaud, kin apwali me japwilim en Kaun o, duen a pan kaperenda Kaun o.
33But he that is with a wife, is solicitous for the things of the world, how he may please his wife: and he is divided.
33A me papaud, kin lamelame, me kon on jappa, duen a pan kaperenda a paud.
34And the unmarried woman and the virgin thinketh on the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she that is married thinketh on the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
34A nan pun en li papaud o peinekap me wuk pajan: Me jota papaud, kin apwali me japwilim en Kaun o, pwen jaraui ni pali war o pil ni pali nen; a me papaud, kin inon ion me kijan jappa, duen a pan kak kaperenda a warok.
35And this I speak for your profit: not to cast a snare upon you; but for that which is decent, and which may give you power to attend upon the Lord, without impediment.
35Mepukat i inda wei, pwen kamaui komail, a kaidin pwen jaliedi komail, a pwen jauaja komail, pwe karoj en inen o pun re omail, o pwe komail en papa Kaun o.
36But if any man think that he seemeth dishonoured, with regard to his virgin, for that she is above the age, and it must so be: let him do what he will; he sinneth not, if she marry.
36A ma amen lamelame, me japun, ma a jota pan mueid on na jeripein, me mau on papaud, en papaud; ari, a pan wia duen me a mauki, pwe kaidin dip, ma a pan mueid on i en papaud.
37For he that hath determined being steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but having power of his own will; and hath judged this in his heart, to keep his virgin, doth well.
37A ma amen me kelail ni monion i, pil kelail on kaunda, pein injen a, ap inauki on nan monion i en kolekol na jeripein, I me mau.
38Therefore, both he that giveth his virgin in marriage, doth well; and he that giveth her not, doth better.
38Ari, ma amen pan papaud me mau, a ma amen jota pan papaud, me mau jan.
39A woman is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband die, she is at liberty: let her marry to whom she will; only in the Lord.
39Li papaud amen me kaupina kidi pun en papaud arain a warok memaur; a ol o lao mela, nan a maio on kapapaud, me a mauki, i eta; a en wiaui ren Kaun.
40But more blessed shall she be, if she so remain, according to my counsel; and I think that I also have the spirit of God.
40Meid pai, ma a pan dadaurata a kirip duen me i lameda, A nai aja, me Nen en Kot pil kotikot re i.
