Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1From whence are wars and contentions among you? Are they not hence, from your concupiscences, which war in your members?
1IA waja akamai o pei nan pun omail kin tapi jan ia? Kaidin jan nan omail inon jued akan, me kin pepei nan omail kokon akan.
2You covet, and have not: you kill, and envy, and can not obtain. You contend and war, and you have not, because you ask not.
2Komail kin inon ion, ap jota aneki, komail kin kamela o kailonki, ap jota me komail pan ale; komail kin akamai o mauin. A jota omail meakot, pwe komail jota omail meakot, pwe komail jota kin poeki.
3You ask, and receive not; because you ask amiss: that you may consume it on your concupiscences.
3Komail kin poeki, ap jota pwaida, pwe komail kin poeki japun, pwe komail kin poeki japun, pwe komail kin kapwaida kida omail inon jued akan.
4Adulterers, know you not that the friendship of this world is the enemy of God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of this world, becometh an enemy of God.
4Komail kamal akan, komail jota aja me waroki on jappa et, kin imwintiti on Kot? Ari meamen, me men kompoke pan jappa, nan i imwintiti en Kot amen.
5Or do you think that the scripture saith in vain: To envy doth the spirit covet which dwelleth in you?
5De komail kiki on, me puk jaraui majani mal: Nen o me kotikot lol omail, kin inon ion o nantion dodok on Kot.
6But he giveth greater grace. Wherefore he saith: God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
6A meid laud a mak on kitail. I me a kotin majanieki: Kot kin kotin palian me aklapalap, ap mak on me opampap.
7Be subject therefore to God, but resist the devil, and he will fly from you.
7Komail ari duki on Kot a palian tewil, a ap pan tan wei jan komail.
8Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners: and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
8Kakondak monion on Kot, a ap pan kupukupera komail, kamakelekel pa omail, komail me dipan; o kaminela monion omial, komail me lol riapot.
9Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your joy into sorrow.
9Kainjinom, o maiei, o janejan; omail kaukaurur en wuki on me mauk, o omail peren on injenjued.
10Be humbled in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you.
10Akitikitik ki pein komail mon Kaun o, a ap pan kjapwil komail da.
11Detract not one another, my brethren. He that detracteth his brother, or he that judgeth his brother, detracteth the law, and judgeth the law. But if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
11Ri ai ko komail de lokaia jued nan pun omail. Pwe me kin lokaia jued duen ri a, de kadeikada ri a, a kin lokaia jued on kapun o kin kadeikada kapun o, A ma koe kadeikada kapun, pwe jaunkapun amen koe.
12There is one lawgiver, and judge, that is able to destroy and to deliver.
12Amen ta jaunkapun o jaunkadeik, me kak on kamaurela o kariala. A ij koe, me kin kadeikada men im pa?
13But who art thou that judgest thy neighbour? Behold, now you that say: Today or tomorrow we will go into such a city, and there we will spend a year, and will traffic, and make our gain.
13Iet pil eu, komail me kin inda: Ran wet de lakap je pan kolan kanim wet o kaujon waja o par eu, o netinet ap kapwapwala.
14Whereas you know not what shall be on the morrow.
14A komail kin jaja, da me pan wiaui lakap, pwe da omail maur? Pwe komail kin raj on tokoi, me kin mi anjau kij, ap mokonaidi.
15For what is your life? It is a vapour which appeareth for a little while, and afterwards shall vanish away. For that you should say: If the Lord will, and if we shall live, we will do this or that.
15Mak eta komail en inda: Ma Kaun o kotin kupura, o ma kitail memaureta, kitail pan wiada met de mo.
16But now you rejoice in your arrogancies. All such rejoicing is wicked.
16A jo, komail kin perenki omail jujuai, nan jujuai due met me jued.
17To him therefore who knoweth to do good, and doth it not, to him it is sin.
17Ari, melel ta, meamen me lelapok ki me mau, ap jota wia, nan i me dip on i.
