Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days, he went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.
1PEJTUJ lao pwarador nan wei, ap kotidalan Ierujalem jan Jajarea ni ran kajilu.
2And the chief priests, and principal men of the Jews, went unto him against Paul: and they besought him,
2Jamero lapalap o jaumaj akan en Juj oko ap pwara don re a weiweiloke Pauluj o poekipoeki re a,
3Requesting favour against him, that he would command him to be brought to Jerusalem, laying wait to kill him in the way.
3O inon ion konekon re a, pwen palian Pauluj, pwe a en wa don Ierujalem i, a re majamajani i, pwen kamele ni a kotikot kodo.
4But Festus answered: That Paul was kept in Caesarea, and that he himself would very shortly depart thither.
4A Pejtuj majani, me Pauluj pan mimieta Jajarea, a pein i pan madan majel wei.
5Let them, therefore, saith he, among you that are able, go down with me, and accuse him, if there be any crime in the man.
5A me lapalap re omail pan kak ian ia kodila o kadede ol o, ma dip a mia.
6And having tarried among them no more than eight or ten days, he went down to Caesarea, and the next day he sat in the judgment seat; and commanded Paul to be brought.
6A lao kotikot re ’rail pon walu pon de naul, ap kotidilan Jajarea o mandan ran o a kaipokedi pon mol en kadeik o majani, Pauluj en wijikedo.
7Who being brought, the Jews stood about him, who were come down from Jerusalem, objecting many and grievous causes, which they could not prove;
7A lao pwarador, Juj oko, me kodido jan Ierujalem, ap kapil pena i o kadipe i kaualap, ap jota kak kadededa.
8Paul making answer for himself: Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I offended in any thing.
8Pwe Pauluj kotin japen majani duen pein i: I jota wiadar dipi on kapun en Juj oko, de on im en kaudok o, de on Jija.
9But Festus, willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, answering Paul, said: Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?
9A Pejtuj men konekon ren Juj oko, ap japen Pauluj majani: Koe men kodalan Ierujalem, pwen pakadeikada re i waja o?
10Then Paul said: I stand at Caesar’s judgment seat, where I ought to be judged. To the Jews I have done no injury, as thou very well knowest.
10A Pauluj kotin majani: I mi mon mol en kadeik en Jija, waja me mau on, i en pakadei kada. Jota me japun eu, me i wiai on Juj oko, duen me pein komui mani.
11For if I have injured them, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die. But if there be none of these things whereof they accuse me, no man may deliver me to them: I appeal to Caesar.
11Ma i wiadar japun eu de mekot me waron kamela, i jota pan kan mela. A ma jo melel, me mepukat kine kin ia, jota me pan kak pan ia lan irail. I dorolan Jija!
12Then Festus having conferred with the council, answered: Hast thou appealed to Caesar? To Caesar shalt thou go.
12Pejtuj lao kalelapok ren momod en kadeik o, ap majani: Koe dorolan Jija, ari koe pan pwarala ren Jija.
13And after some days, king Agrippa and Bernice came down to Caesarea to salute Festus.
13Murin ran akai nanmarki Akripa o Pernije koti don Jajarea, pwen ranamau on Pejtuj.
14And as they tarried there many days, Festus told the king of Paul, saying: A certain man was left prisoner by Felix.
14Ira lao kotikot waja o pon loto, Pejtuj ap kaireki nanmarki duen Pauluj majani: Ol jenjal amen mi met, me Pelikj jaliedi ap jamalar.
15About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests, and the ancients of the Jews, came unto me, desiring condemnation against him.
15A jamero lapalap o jaumaj en Juj akan kaire kin ia duen i ni ai potopot Ierujalem inon ion I en kadeikada i.
16To whom I answered: It is not the custom of the Romans to condemn any man, before that he who is accused have his accusers present, and have liberty to make his answer, to clear himself of the things laid to his charge.
16A nai japen irail: Kaidin duen tiak en men Rom, en panala aramaj amen, en kamela, mon me panala i kan jaikenta janjal mo a, o a muei on i er, en japen duen me re pan kila i.
17When therefore they were come hither, without any delay, on the day following, sitting in the judgment seat, I commanded the man to be brought.
17Irail lao pokon don met, a mandan ran o i madan mondi pon mol en kadeik o inda, ol o en wijikedo.
18Against whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought no accusation of things which I thought ill of:
18A me panala i kan lao pwarado, re jota katitiki mejued kot, duen i kiki on.
19But had certain questions of their own superstition against him, and of one Jesus deceased, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
19A akai peipeidok mia duen pein arail lamalam o duen ol mela amen me ad a Iejuj, me Pauluj kin inda, me dene a memaureta.
20I therefore being in a doubt of this manner of question, asked him whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things.
20Nai ari poneponeki duen mepukat, i ap idok re a, ma a jota men kodalan Ierujalem, pwen pakadeikada waja o duen mepukat.
21But Paul appealing to be reserved unto the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept, till I might send him to Caesar.
21A Pauluj lao dorolan kadeik en Aukujtuj, nai ap inda, ren koledi i, i lao kadarala i ren Jija.
22And Agrippa said to Festus: I would also hear the man, myself. Tomorrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.
22Akripa ap majani on Pejtuj: I pil men roneron aramaj o. A majani: Lakap kom pan ron i.
23And on the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice were come with great pomp, and had entered into the hall of audience, with the tribunes, and principal men of the city, at Festus’ commandment, Paul was brought forth.
23A mandan ran o Akripa i Pernije lao kotin pwarado ni ar kapwat linan kaualap o kotilon on nan im en kapun, o ol lapalap akan ianaki kaun en kanim o, Pejtuj ap majani, Pauluj en wijikedo.
24And Festus saith: King Agrippa, and all ye men who are here present with us, you see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews dealt with me at Jerusalem, requesting and crying out that he ought not to live any longer.
24A Pejtuj majani: Main nanmarki Akripa o komail ol akan karoj, me ian kit kotikot waja et, komail majani, pweki men et, Juj akan karoj kin poekipoeki re i nan Ierujalem o pil met; ni ar palian i indada, me dene a jowar on memaureta.
25Yet have I found nothing that he hath committed worthy of death. But forasmuch as he himself hath appealed to Augustus, I have determined to send him.
25A i lao diarada, me jota me a wiadar, me war on kamela o pein i dorolan Aukujtuj, nai ap kileledier me i pan kadarala i.
26Of whom I have nothing certain to write to my lord. For which cause I have brought him forth before you, and especially before thee, O king Agrippa, that examination being made, I may have what to write.
26A jota me i aja, en intiniedi won nai jaupeidi. I me i waki don komail i, mo ’mui ta main nanmarki Akripa, pwe kapun lao nikier, i en aja, da me i en intinieki wei.
27For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner, and not to signify the things laid to his charge.
27Pwe i lamelame, me japun, en kadarala me jalidi amen, ap jota kaireki duen karep en jalidi.
