Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1What shall we say then that Abraham hath found, who is our father according to the flesh.
1ARI da me kitail en inda duen Apraam jam atail ni pali uduk, da me a diaradar?
2For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory, but not before God.
2Pwe ma Apraam pun kilar a wiawia kan, nan a men juaiki mia, a kaidin mon Kot.
3For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice.
3Pwe da me kijin likau majanier? Apraam pojon Kot, o i me wadok on i kapuna pa.
4Now to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned according to grace, but according to debt.
4A me kin keleki a wiawia kan, nan pwain a pan wad on i nin tiak en kujoned a kaidin ni mak.
5But to him that worketh not, yet believeth in him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is reputed to justice, according to the purpose of the grace of God.
5A me jota kin keleki a wiawia kan, ap pojon i, me kin kapunala me doo jan Kot akan, nan a pojon me wadok on i kapuna pa i.
6As David also termeth the blessedness of a man, to whom God reputeth justice without works:
6Duen Dawid kapaiaki aramaj amen, me Kot kotin kapunala likin a wiawia kan:
7Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
7Meid pai, me ar japun kan lapwadar, o me dip ar akan pwaipwaidier!
8Blessed is the man to whom the Lord hath not imputed sin.
8Meid pai ol o, me Kaun o jolar pan kapokoki on dip a!
9This blessedness then, doth it remain in the circumcision only, or in the uncircumcision also? For we say that unto Abraham faith was reputed to justice.
9Ari, me jirkomjaij eta, me pai wet kin ko on, de a pil itar on me jojirkomjaij? Pwe kit me indada: En Apraam a pojon me wadok on i kapune pa.
10How then was it reputed? When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
10Ari, iaduen a wadok on i? Ni a jirkomjaijelar de ni a jojirkomjaijelar? Kaidin ni jirkomjaij, pwe ni a jojirkomjaij.
11And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the justice of the faith, which he had, being uncircumcised; that he might be the father of all them that believe, being uncircumcised, that unto them also it may be reputed to justice:
11A a aleer kilel en jirkomjaij, men kadede a pun kilar pojon, me a anekier ni a jojirkomjaij, pwen wiala jam en me pojon ap jojirkomjaij akan karoj, pwe pun wet en pil wadok on irail.
12And might be the father of circumcision; not to them only, that are of the circumcision, but to them also that follow the steps of the faithful, that is in the uncircumcision of our father Abraham.
12O pil wiala jam en me jirkomjaij akan. A kaidin arail me jirkomjaij akan eta, pwe pil en irail, me aluki pojon ota, me mi ren jam atail Apraam ni a jojirkomjaij.
13For not through the law was the promise to Abraham, or to his seed, that he should be heir of the world; but through the justice of faith.
13Pwe kaidin ki kapun o me Apraam o kadaudok a aleer inau o, me a pan jojoki jappa, a ki pojon pun.
14For if they who are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, the promise is made of no effect.
14Pwe ma irail, me men kapwaiada kapun o, pan ale jojo, nan pojon me mal kot, o inau olar.
15For the law worketh wrath. For where there is no law, neither is there transgression.
15Pwe kapun o kin kareda onion, pwe ma jota kapun, a pil jota japun.
16Therefore is it of faith, that according to grace the promise might be firm to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all,
16I me pun pan tapi jan ni pojon, pwe karoj en tapi jan mak; o inau on kadaudok o en teneten. A kaidin ir eta, me mi pan kapun o, pwe pil karoj, me mi pan pojon en Apraam, me jam en kitail karoj.
17(As it is written: I have made thee a father of many nations,) before God, whom he believed, who quickeneth the dead; and calleth those things that are not, as those that are.
17Duen a intinidier: I wia kin uk alar jam en wein jappa toto mon Kot, me a pojon me kin kamaureda me melar akan o molipei ir, me jaikenta mia, pwen miala.
18Who against hope believed in hope; that he might be made the father of many nations, according to that which was said to him: So shall thy seed be.
18I me pojon, ap jota kaporopor mia, pwen wiala jam en wein jappa toto, duen a lokido: Nan iduen kadaudok om.
19And he was not weak in faith; neither did he consider his own body now dead, whereas he was almost an hundred years old, nor the dead womb of Sara.
19Ap jota luetalar ni a pojon o jo lamelame, me war a melar, pwe a koren ion jaunpar epuki; pil jota lamelame war en Jara a melar.
20In the promise also of God he staggered not by distrust; but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God:
20Pwe a jota peikajaleki inau en Kot ki jopojon, a a kakairida ni pojon, o i me a kin kapinaki Kot.
21Most fully knowing, that whatsoever he has promised, he is able also to perform.
21A aja melelia, me i kotin inauki on i, a pan kotin kapwaiada.
22And therefore it was reputed to him unto justice.
22Nan i wadok on i kapuna pa.
23Now it is not written only for him, that it was reputed to him unto justice,
23Mepukat jota intinidier pweki i eta, me a wadok on i mepukat,
24But also for us, to whom it shall be reputed, if we believe in him, that raised up Jesus Christ, our Lord, from the dead,
24A pil pweki kitail, me a pan wadok on, ma kitail pan pojon i, me kotin kaiajadar Iejuj atail Kaun jan ren me melar akan.
25Who was delivered up for our sins, and rose again for our justification.
25Pwe i me panalar pweki dip atail, o a kotin iajadar pwen kapun patail.
