Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1Do we begin again to commend ourselves? Or do we need (as some do) epistles of commendation to you, or from you?
1A IADUEN kit pil kaindan deki pein kit? De nai me mau on kijin likau en kapin on komail de jan komail?
2You are our epistle, written in our hearts, which is known and read by all men:
2At kijin likau komail, me intinidi on nan monion it, me aramaj akan karoj kin aja o wadok.
3Being manifested, that you are the epistle of Christ, ministered by us, and written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in the fleshly tables of the heart.
3Pwe komail janjaleda, me komail kijin likau en Krijtuj, me wiauier re at ni at papa, me kaidin intinidier ki ink, a Nen en Kot ieiaj; pil kaidin pon jlet takai, pwe jlet uduken en monion akan.
4And such confidence we have, through Christ, towards God.
4lel atail kaporoporeki Krijtuj mon Kot.
5Not that we are sufficient to think any thing of ourselves, as of ourselves: but our sufficiency is from God.
5Pwe kaidin udan at koiok, me je kak lamelameki meakot, me tapi jan pein kit, pwe at koiok tapi jan ren Kot,
6Who also hath made us fit ministers of the new testament, not in the letter, but in the spirit. For the letter killeth, but the spirit quickeneth.
6Me pil kotin kaiane kin kit, en papa en inau kap kaidin inau, me intinidier, a inau en nen. Pwe intin kin kamela, a nen kin kotin kamaureda.
7Now if the ministration of death, engraven with letters upon stones, was glorious; so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses, for the glory of his countenance, which is made void:
7A ma dodok en mela, me intinidier nan pali en takai, me linan, pwe jeri en Ijrael akan jota kak kilan jilan en Mojej, pweki linan en jilan i, a linan wet eu, me pan joredi,
8How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather in glory?
8Daduen, dodok en nen a jota pan linan jikida jan?
9For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more the ministration of justice aboundeth in glory.
9Ari, ma dodok en kadeik o me linan, nan melel kaualap, dodok en pun me lman melel.
10For even that which was glorious in this part was not glorified, by reason of the glory that excelleth.
10Pwe men moa me kalinanadar jota kak paroki on linan wet.
11For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is in glory.
11A ma linan mia ren me pan jorela, iaduen wan linan en me pan mimieta!
12Having therefore such hope, we use much confidence:
12Ni at kaporoporeki mepukat, kit kin aima melel.
13And not as Moses put a veil upon his face, that the children of Israel might not steadfastly look on the face of that which is made void.
13O kaidin dueta Mojej, me pera kila likau eu jilan i, pwe jeri en Ijrael akan ender kilan imwi en me pan nikila.
14But their senses were made dull. For, until this present day, the selfsame veil, in the reading of the old testament, remaineth not taken away (because in Christ it is made void).
14A monion arail me kapitakailar. Pwe lao lel ran wet pera o mimieta anjaun ar wadawadok inau marin; ari, pera o me jaroka janer ren Krijtuj.
15But even until this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon their heart.
15A lao lel ran wet ni arail wadawadok Mojej, pera mimieta mon monion arail.
16But when they shall be converted to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away.
16A ma re pan wuki on Kaun o, pera o pan jaroka jan.
17Now the Lord is a Spirit. And where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
17Kaun o iei Nen, a waja me Nen en Kaun kotikot ia, nan i wajan maio.
18But we all beholding the glory of the Lord with open face, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, as by the Spirit of the Lord.
18A kitail karoj, me maj atail jo perapa, kin ududial linan en Kaun o, ap wuki on ni mom ota o kakairida ni linan pweki Kaun iei Nen.
