Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1A psalm for Asaph. How good is God to Israel, to them that are of a right heart!
1MAI N Kot, kom kotiki o n nanmarki en kapu n , o kotiki o n nain nanmarki ol omui pu n .
2But my feet were almost moved; my steps had well nigh slipped.
2Pwen kaunda japwilim omui aramaj akan nin tiak pu n , o dorela japwilim omui me luet akan.
3Because I had a zeal on occasion of the wicked, seeing the prosperity of sinners.
3Nana kan en kare do n aramaj akan popol o dol akan me pu n .
4For there is no regard to their death, nor is there strength in their stripes.
4A pan jauaja pu n en me luet ren aramaj akan; a pan dorela nain me jamama kan, o pan tiakedi me morjued o.
5They are not in the labour of men: neither shall they be scourged like other men.
5Aramaj pan majak komui ja n eu kainok lel eu kainok, arain katipin o jaunipo n mia.
6Therefore pride hath held them fast: they are covered with their iniquity and their wickedness.
6A pan kotidi dueta katau o n mat kap, dueta katau me kawujokejok jap o.
7Their iniquity hath come forth, as it were from fatness: they have passed into the affection of the heart.
7Me pu n o pan memaurata ni a ran akan, o muei mau pan pwaida, lao jaunipo n jolar mia.
8They have thought and spoken wickedness: they have spoken iniquity on high.
8A pan kotin kaunda ja n eu madau lel wo n eu, o ja n pilap o lel ni imwin jappa.
9They have set their mouth against heaven: and their tongue hath passed through the earth.
9Me kaukaujon nan jap tan, pan dairukedi o n mo a, o a imwintiti kan pan ka n ala pwel par.
10Therefore will my people return here and full days shall be found in them.
10Nanmarki en Tarjij o me mi nan dake kan, pan wa do n i ar kijakij; nanmarki en Arapia o Jepa pan wia nopwei.
11And they said: How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?
11Nanmarki kan karoj pan kaudoki o n i, men liki kan karoj pan upa o n i.
12Behold these are sinners; and yet abounding in the world they have obtained riches.
12Pwe a pan dorela me jamama o, me kin weriwer, o me luet, me jota jauaj pa.
13And I said: Then have I in vain justified my heart, and washed my hands among the innocent.
13A pan kupura me tikitik o jamama, o pan kotin jauaja n en en me jamama kan.
14And I have been scourged all the day; and my chastisement hath been in the mornings.
14A pan kotin dorela n en arail ja n ren me morjued o weit, o nt’ arail me kajampwal mon jila n i.
15If I said: I will speak thus; behold I should condemn the generation of thy children.
15A pan ieiajata o kold ja n wein Arapia pan wijik wo n i, o aramaj akan pan kapakapaki i anjau karoj, a pan kapaida ni anjau karoj.
16I studied that I might know this thing, it is a labour in my sight:
16Wantuka kan pan pwaida mau nin jappa o pon nana kan, korn pan momand dueta Lipanon; o aramaj akan pan woj ada nan kanim akan dueta ra nan jap o.
17Until I go into the sanctuary of God, and understand concerning their last ends.
17Mar a pan duedueta kokolata; arain katipi n a pan mimieta, iduen warai en mar a, o re pan kapaikida i; men liki kan karoj pan kapi n a i.
18But indeed for deceits thou hast put it to them: when they were lifted up thou hast cast them down.
18Kapi n o n Kot leowa, Kot en jrael, i eta, me kin wiada manaman akan.
19How are they brought to desolation? they have suddenly ceased to be: they have perished by reason of their iniquity.
19O kapi n o n mar a li n an kokolata, o jap karoj en direki a wau! Amen, amen!
20As the dream of them that awake, O Lord; so in thy city thou shalt bring their image to nothing.
20Iet imwilan kapakap en Dawid nan Ijai.
21For my heart hath been inflamed, and my reins have been changed:
