Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1And Paul looking upon the council, said: Men, brethren, I have conversed with all good conscience before God until this present day.
1A PAULUJ kotin aupwil jili nan kapun o ap majani: Ri ai ko, i dadaurata me mau on Kot lao lel ran wet.
2And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to strike him on the mouth.
2A jamero lapalap Ananiaj majani on men impa, ren pikir au a.
3Then Paul said to him: God shall strike thee, thou whited wall. For sittest thou to judge me according to the law, and contrary to the law commandest me to be struck?
3Pauluj ap majani on i: Kot pan kotin pikir uk malaun men koe, pwe koe momod waja en, en kadeik ia da duen kapun o, ap tiakedi kapun o ni om indada, ren pikir ia.
4And they that stood by said: Dost thou revile the high priest of God?
4A men impa indada: Koe pan lalaue japwilim en Kot a jamero lapalap?
5And Paul said: I knew not, brethren, that he is the high priest. For it is written: Thou shalt not speak evil of the prince of thy people.
5Pauluj ap majanier: Ri ai ko, i jaja, me i jamero lapalap o, pwe a intinidier: Koe der nan au jued duen omail kaun lapalap o!
6And Paul knowing that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, cried out in the council: Men, brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of Pharisees: concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.
6A Pauluj lao diaradar, me akai irail Jadujar, a akai Parijar, ap kapitie laud nan kapun o majani: Ri ai ko, nai Parijar amen o nain Parijar amen, ai kaporopor en me melar akan ar pan maureda, i me i pan paka deikada.
7And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees; and the multitude was divided.
7A lao majanier met, Parijar o Jadujar akan ap akamai pena; ari momod o muei pajan.
8For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.
8Pwe Jadujar kin inda, me dene jota me pan maureda, o pil dene jota tounlan, pil jo nen, a Parijar kin kamelele karoj.
9And there arose a great cry. And some of the Pharisees rising up, strove, saying: We find no evil in this man. What if a spirit hath spoken to him, or an angel?
9A weriwer laud wiauier. A jaunkawewe kan, me kijan Parijar kajinenda kaparok katitiki: Jota me jued kot en aramaj men et, me je diar. A ma nen eu de tounlan amen majani on i, kitail der palian Kot!
10And when there arose a great dissension, the tribune fearing lest Paul should be pulled in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the castle.
10A lao moromoron kaualap, kaun lapalap o ap majak, me Pauluj pan dapenok pajan, ap majani, me jaunpei kai en kodilan koledi i, wado jan nan pun ar o wa don nan im en jaunpei.
11And the night following the Lord standing by him, said: Be constant; for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.
11A pon pena jan ran o kaun o kotikot re a majani: Kaporopor mau, pwe duen om kadede ia nan Ierujalem, iduen koe pil pan kadede ia nan Rom.
12And when day was come, some of the Jews gathered together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying, that they would neither eat, nor drink, till they killed Paul.
12A lao ran pajan, Juj akai ap inauki pena o kaukila, me re pan jolar kan o nim meakot, re lao kamelar Pauluj.
13And they were more than forty men that had made this conspiracy.
13A irail, me wiadar inau wet, me paek jama.
14Who came to the chief priests and the ancients, and said: We have bound ourselves under a great curse that we will eat nothing till we have slain Paul.
14Irail kodo ren jamero lapalap o jaumaj akan katitiki: Je inauki pena o kaukila, me je jolar pan kan o nim meakot, je lao kamelar Pauluj.
15Now therefore do you with the council signify to the tribune, that he bring him forth to you, as if you meant to know something more certain touching him. And we, before he come near, are ready to kill him.
15Komail o toun kapun ari poeki ren kaun lapalap o, a en kadara don komail i. Dene komail pan raparapaki melel re a, a kit pan majamajan kamela i, mon a pan pwara don komail.
16Which when Paul’s sister’s son had heard, of their lying in wait, he came and entered into the castle and told Paul.
16A wawan Pauluj jeri amen lao roner ar ruki i, ap pedelon on im en jaunpei kai kaireki Pauluj.
17And Paul, calling to him one of the centurions, said: Bring this young man to the tribune, for he hath some thing to tell him.
17Pauluj ap ekeredo kaun amen, majani on i: Kare won manakap men et ren kaun lapalap o, pwe meakot mia, me a men kaireki i.
18And he taking him, brought him to the tribune, and said: Paul, the prisoner, desired me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath some thing to say to thee.
18I ari ukada i kare won i ren kaun lapalap o indada: Pauluj me jalidi, eker ia don i o poeki re i, i en wa don komui manakap men et, pwe meakot mia, me a men kaire kin komui.
19And the tribune taking him by the hand, went aside with him privately, and asked him: What is it that thou hast to tell me?
19Kaun lapalap ap koledi pa a o koieila waja rir kalelapok: Da me koe men kaire kin ia?
20And he said: The Jews have agreed to desire thee, that thou wouldst bring forth Paul tomorrow into the council, as if they meant to inquire some thing more certain touching him.
20I ari katitiki: Juj akai inauki pena, en poeki re omui, en kadara don kapun Pauluj lakap, dene komui men pur on raparapaki mau due.
21But do not thou give credit to them; for there lie in wait for him more than forty men of them, who have bound themselves by oath neither to eat, nor to drink, till they have killed him: and they are now ready, looking for a promise from thee.
21A komui der duki on irail, pwe ol paek jama, me rukiruki i, me inauki pena o kaukilar, me re jolar pan kan o nim re lao kamela i. A irail auiaui anjau wet, me komui en mueid on irail i.
22The tribune therefore dismissed the young man, charging him that he should tell no man, that he had made known these things unto him.
22Kaun lapalap o ap kadarala manakap o majani on i: Der indan meamen, me koe kaire kin ia met!
23Then having called two centurions, he said to them: Make ready two hundred soldiers to go as far as Caesarea, and seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen for the third hour of the night:
23A lao ekeredor kaun riamen, ap majani: Kaonopada jaunpei riepuki, pwen kola Jajarea, o pil me dake oj ijiakan, o me wa katieu riepuki jan ni klok duau en ponpon wet.
24And provide beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe to Felix the governor.
24O pil kaonopada man akai, me re en kida poa Pauluj, o ren kanakanai on walan i ren kopina Peliki.
25(For he feared lest perhaps the Jews might take him away by force and kill him, and he should afterwards be slandered, as if he was to take money.) And he wrote a letter after this manner:
25A pil intiniedier kij in likau duen met:
26Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor, Felix, greeting.
26Nai Klaudiuj Lijiaj kadar won komui main kopina Pelikj ai ranamau.
27This man being taken by the Jews, and ready to be killed by them, I rescued coming in with an army, understanding that he is a Roman:
27Ol men et, me Juj oko jaikidier, o metar kij a pan kamela re ’rail. A nai ukada jaunpei kei dorela i ni ai ronada, me i men Rom amen.
28And meaning to know the cause which they objected unto him, I brought him forth into their council.
28A ni ai men kalelapok, da me re weiweilokedi i, i ap wadila ren ar kapun o.
29Whom I found to be accused concerning questions of their law; but having nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bands.
29Nai ari diaradar, me a panapanla pweki peidok en ar kapun. A jota me i diar, me a pun kak kame kila de jalikidi.
30And when I was told of ambushes that they had prepared for him, I sent him to thee, signifying also to his accusers to plead before thee. Farewell.
30I lao ajadar, me Juj oko rukiruki ol o, i ap madan kadar won komui i, o i kakaliki on me panala i kai, en kaireki won komui duen i. Ran kajelel!
31Then the soldiers, according as it was commanded them, taking Paul, brought him by night to Antipatris.
31Jaunpei ko ap ukada Pauluj kalua i Antipatrij ni pon o duen a kawad kin irail.
32And the next day, leaving the horsemen to go with him, they returned to the castle.
32Mandan ran o re ki on me dake oj akan, ren wala i, ap purelan im en jaunpei.
33Who, when they were come to Caesarea, and had delivered the letter to the governor, did also present Paul before him.
33Mepukat lao lel on Jajarea, ap ki on kijin likau ren kopina, o pil kajale on i Pauluj.
34And when he had read it, and had asked of what province he was, and understood that he was of Cilicia;
34A lao wadoker o idok, menia i, o manier, me a kijan men Jilijia, ap majani:
35I will hear thee, said he, when thy accusers come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod’s judgment hall.
35I pan ron uk, lao me pan uk ala pil pwarador. I ari majani, i en nekinek nan tanpaj en Erodej.
