Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1Be ye not many masters, my brethren, knowing that you receive the greater judgment.
1RI ai ko, me jota mau, ma komail me toto inon ion jaunpadakala, pwe komail aja, me kitail pan lel on kadeik laud.
2For in many things we all offend. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man. He is able also with a bridle to lead about the whole body.
2Pwe pan pak toto kitail kin japun, a ma amen jota kin japunki lokaia kij, nan i ol melel amen, o a kak koaki pali war a pokon.
3For if we put bits into the mouths of horses, that they may obey us, and we turn about their whole body.
3Kilan, kitail kin ki on nan au en oj kijin mata, pwe ren peiki on kitail, o kitail kin kawuk jili war arail pokon.
4Behold also ships, whereas they are great, and are driven by strong winds, yet are they turned about with a small helm, whithersoever the force of the governor willeth.
4Kilan, pil jop akan! Irail me kalaimun o an kin ipir wei, ari jo, men ilil tikitik kak kawuki on waja, me kaptin kin inon ion ia.
5Even so the tongue is indeed a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold how small a fire kindleth a great wood.
5Iduen lo me kokon tikitik eu, a a juaijuai lapalap. Kilan, duen kijiniai tikitik kin ijikada nana kalaimun!
6And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is placed among our members, which defileth the whole body, and inflameth the wheel of our nativity, being set on fire by hell.
6Iduen lo en aramaj, a raj on kijiniai o aude pan japun karoj. Lo o kijan kokon atail, ap kajaminela war pon, a kin ijikada wiawia en nan maur atail karoj, a pein i ijij jan nan pweleko.
7For every nature of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of the rest, is tamed, and hath been tamed, by the nature of man:
7Pwe jon en man laualo karoj, o manpir, o me karop, o man akan, me kin memaur nan jed, kin kamandala o kaloedi ren aramaj akan.
8But the tongue no man can tame, an unquiet evil, full of deadly poison.
8A lo o jota aramaj amen me kak kaloedi, nan me jued kot, me dir en men kamela.
9By it we bless God and the Father: and by it we curse men, who are made after the likeness of God.
9I me kitail kapinaki Kaun o Jam, o kitail kariaki i aramaj akan, me wiauier ni mom en Kot.
10Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
10Jon ni au ota kapai o kariu kin tapi jan ia. Ri ai ko, me jota pun, mepukat en wiaui due.
11Doth a fountain send forth, out of the same hole, sweet and bitter water?
11Daduen utun pil pot, a kin ki wei pil iau o jadik jan ni por ta ieu?
12Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear grapes; or the vine, figs? So neither can the salt water yield sweet.
12Ri ai ko, pik pot pil kak wu wan le, de wain pan kak wan pik? Pil dueta parer jol eu jota kak kida pil.
13Who is a wise man, and endued with knowledge among you? Let him shew, by a good conversation, his work in the meekness of wisdom.
13Ij me lolekon re omail, o erekila padak? I en kajaleda ni lamalam mau a wiawia kan ni impai o lolekon.
14But if you have bitter zeal, and there be contentions in your hearts; glory not, and be not liars against the truth.
14A ma peirin o akamai mier nan monion omail, komail der juaiki palian melel o der kalikame me melel.
15For this is not wisdom, descending from above: but earthly, sensual, devilish.
15Pwe lolekon wet, me jota tapi jan poa a udan pa et, pali uduk, pali tewil.
16For where envying and contention is, there is inconstancy, and every evil work.
16Pwe waja peirin o akamai mia, nan i wajan jaminimin o dodok jued karoj kin wiauiaui ia.
17But the wisdom, that is from above, first indeed is chaste, then peaceable, modest, easy to be persuaded, consenting to the good, full of mercy and good fruits, without judging, without dissimulation.
17A lolekon, me tapi jan ni pali poa, maj a kin makelekel, ap pil kaminimin, o kampai, o matarok, o dir en kadek, o wa mau, o jo peikajal, o jo malaun.
18And the fruit of justice is sown in peace, to them that make peace.
18A wan pun pan kamoredi ni popol ren ir, me kin tom pena.
