Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1James the servant of God, and of our Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
1IET nai Iakopuj ladu en Kot o Kaun Ieiuj Krijtnj on kainok eijok riau, me pakajar pajaner; komail perenda!
2My brethren, count it all joy, when you shall fall into divers temptations;
2Ri ai ko, komail perenki ma komail lel on kajonejon.
3Knowing that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
3O aja, ma omail pojon me pun, a pan kareda kanonama.
4And patience hath a perfect work; that you may be perfect and entire, failing in nothing.
4A kanonama pan duedueta lao lel imwi, pwe komail en anla o unjok, o jolar anane meakot.
5But if any of you want wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all men abundantly, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
5A ma amen re omail jota a lolekon, i en poeki ren Kot, me kin kotiki on amen amen ni jo kidaue, ari, a pan ale.
6But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea, which is moved and carried about by the wind.
6A i en poeki ni pojon, der peikajal, pwe me kin peikajal, me raj on iluk en madau, me an kin ipir wei pukepuk.
7Therefore let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
7Pwe i aramaj ender lamelame, me a pan tunole meakot jan ren Kaun o.
8A double minded man is inconstant in all his ways.
8A ol amen me peikajal, kin koweikodo ni a dodok karoj.
9But let the brother of low condition glory in his exaltation:
9A ri atail amen, me jamama, en juaiki a kapwapwa.
10And the rich, in his being low; because as the flower of the grass shall he pass away.
10A me kapwapwa en juaiki a jamama, pwe duen majal en ra a pan monedi.
11For the sun rose with a burning heat, and parched the grass, and the flower thereof fell off, and the beauty of the shape thereof perished: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
11Pwe katipin dakada, ap karakar, ap kamonedi ra kan o majal en ra pupedier, o mom a kajelel olar, iduen me kapwapwa o pan jora jan ni a wiawia kan.
12Blessed is the man that endureth temptation; for when he hath been proved, he shall receive a crown of life, which God hath promised to them that love him.
12Meid pai ol o, me wonweita ni jonapa, pwe murin a poedi, a pan ale nin in maur, me Kot kotin inauki on me pok on i.
13Let no man, when he is tempted, say that he is tempted by God. For God is not a tempter of evils, and he tempteth no man.
13Ma amen pan jonejon, a depa inda, me a jonejon ren Kot. Pwe Kot jota kak mi pan jonejon en mejued, o a pil jota kin kajonejon amen.
14But every man is tempted by his own concupiscence, being drawn away and allured.
14A amen amen kin jonejon ni a inon jued.
15Then when concupiscence hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin. But sin, when it is completed, begetteth death.
15A inon jued lao wiauier, ap naitikadar dip; a dip, ni a unjokelar, kin naitikada mela.
16Do not err, therefore, my dearest brethren.
16Ri ai kompok kan, komail der ponepon kida.
17Every best gift, and every perfect gift, is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change, nor shadow of alteration.
17Kijakij mau karoj o a japan kodido jan poa, jan ren Jam en marain akan, me akan, me jota man jon toror o jota man wukila.
18For of his own will hath he begotten us by the word of truth, that we might be some beginning of his creatures.
18A kotin kanaitik kida kitail majan melel, pwe kitail en wiala mejeni en japwilim a kan.
19You know, my dearest brethren. And let every man be swift to hear, but slow to speak, and slow to anger.
19Ri ai kompok kan, komail aja, aramaj karoj en madan ron, a pwand en lokaia, o pwand en makar.
20For the anger of man worketh not the justice of God.
20Pwe makar en ol o jota kin kapwareda pun en Kot.
21Wherefore casting away all uncleanness, and abundance of naughtiness, with meekness receive the ingrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
21I me komail en kajela pwel karoj o me jued karoj, ap ale on komail majan o, me padedier lol omail nin tiak en karakarak, i me kak on kamaureda nen omail.
22But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
22A komail en kapwaiada majan o kaidin ron eta, a ma iduen, komail kin kotaue pein komail.
23For if a man be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he shall be compared to a man beholding his own countenance in a glass.
23Pwe ma meamen kin ron majan o, ap jota kapwaiada, nan a raj on ol amen, me kin kilekilan maj en pali war a nan klaj,
24For he beheld himself, and went his way, and presently forgot what manner of man he was.
24Pwe murin a kilekilaner duen pein i, a koie la o pitipit monokela duen a janjal.
25But he that hath looked into the perfect law of liberty, and hath continued therein, not becoming a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work; this man shall be blessed in his deed.
25A me kin kilekilan melel nan kapun unjok o kajaledok, o kapwaiada, o ma a jota pan monokela, me a roner, a kapwaiada, nan i pan pai kida a wiawia kan.
26And if any man think himself to be religious, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.
26Ma amen lamelame, me a kin papa Kot, ap jota kaineneda lol a, o ma a piti pein monion i, nan a dodok on Kot me mal kot.
27Religion clean and undefiled before God and the Father, is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their tribulation: and to keep one’s self unspotted from this world.
27A dodok min o pun mon Kot o Jam me wet: En apapwali jopoupou o li odi kan ni ar apwal akan, o pera ki pein i jan jappa.
