Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1BOOK III A Psalm of Asaph. Surely God is good to Israel, even to such as are pure in heart.
1MELEL, Kot kompoke pan men Ijrael, irail me makelekel nan monion arail.
2But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.
2A n ai, ekij ta, a na i kat pan lodi, o I koren io n krijedi ni ai kakakawei.
3For I was envious at the arrogant, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
3Pwe I juedeki me aklapalap akan, ni ai kila n er en me japu n akn ar pwaidar.
4For there are no pangs at their death, and their body is sound.
4Pwe jota apwal kot lel o n irail ni ar pan mela, re kin kelail o war arail wilar melel.
5In the trouble of man they are not; neither are they plagued like men.
5Jota ar apwal kot dueta aramaj tei kan, o re jota pan kalokolok dueta aramaj tei kan.
6Therefore pride is as a chain about their neck; violence covereth them as a garment.
6Ari aklapalap, iei kapwat en tapin wor arail, o arail likau, iei arail tiak weit.
7Their eyes stand forth from fatness; they are gone beyond the imaginations of their heart.
7Por en maj arail tikitik o jued kilar ar wilar, o re kin wiada, me re ino n io n .
8They scoff, and in wickedness utter oppression; they speak as if there were none on high.
8Re kin mamaleki meakaroj, o re kin lokelokaia me jued, o re kin lalaue o lokaia ni ar aklapalap.
9They have set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.
9Dene arail lokaia tapi ja n nanla n , o me irail indinda, dene I eta me pu n ni jappa.
10Therefore His people return hither; and waters of fullness are drained out by them.
10I me aramaj akan lokididi o n irail; o pil totoia re kin nimala.
11And they say: 'How doth God know? And is there knowledge in the Most High?'
11Re kin inda: Iaduen, Kot pan kotin injenoki irail? O menda ren me aklapalap irail?
12Behold, such are the wicked; and they that are always at ease increase riches.
12Kila n , iduen me doo ja n Kot akan; irail meid pai nin jappa, o re pan kapwapwala.
13Surely in vain have I cleansed my heart, and washed my hands in innocency;
13Iaduen, likamata jota katopa ai kamakelekeladar mo n io n i o kaminela pa i kat ni me pu n ?
14For all the day have I been plagued, and my chastisement came every morning.
14Pwe ran karoj i pan kalokolok, o ni manjan karoj ai kamekam mia.
15If I had said: 'I will speak thus', behold, I had been faithless to the generation of Thy children.
15Koren io n i pil pan indinda dueta irail, a jo, pwe i de pan juedeki japwilim omui jeri kan karoj ja n maj kokodo lel met.
16And when I pondered how I might know this, it was wearisome in mine eyes;
16I ap madamadaua duen mepukat, pwen dedeki, a i jota kak o n .
17Until I entered into the sanctuary of God, and considered their end.
17N ai lao pedelo n o n mon mol en Kot jaraui o kila n er imwin mo doo ja n Kot akan.
18Surely Thou settest them in slippery places; Thou hurlest them down to utter ruin.
18Melel kom kotin pwili kin irail edi waja likakerij; kom kotin kapup irail edi o n nani pwel.
19How are they become a desolation in a moment! They are wholly consumed by terrors.
19Iaduen arail mada n joredier. Irail lokidokila, o imwila ’rail meid kamajapwek.
20As a dream when one awaketh, so, O Lord, when Thou arousest Thyself, Thou wilt despise their semblance.
20Mai n Ieowa, kom kin kotin kawela mom arail nan kanim o dueta auramen.
21For my heart was in a ferment, and I was pricked in my reins.
21Ni ai madak nan mo n io n i, o waiwairok nan ai mudilik kan,
22But I was brutish, and ignorant; I was as a beast before Thee.
22I ap diaradar, me n ai ol pweipwei men, me jota aja meakot; dueta man amen mo omui.
23Nevertheless I am continually with Thee; Thou holdest my right hand.
23Ari jo, i pan mimieta re omui kokolata, pwe komui kotin kolekol eta pa i pali maun.
24Thou wilt guide me with Thy counsel, and afterward receive me with glory.
24Komui kin kalua ia duen kupur omui, o kom pan kotin kajamo ia nan li n an omui.
25Whom have I in heaven but Thee? And beside Thee I desire none upon earth.
25Ma komui ta ai Kot, i jota pan anane meakot nanla n de jappa.
26My flesh and my heart faileth; but God is the rock of my heart and my portion for ever.
26Ma pali war ai o n en i pan dupokala, pil menda, pwe komui Mai n Kot kamait pa i o pwaij ai kokolata.
27For, lo, they that go far from Thee shall perish; Thou dost destroy all them that go astray from Thee.
27Pwe kom kotin ma n i irail, me muei ja n komui pan lokidokila; Kom pan kotin kajapokela karoj, me wuki wei ja n komui.
28But as for me, the nearness of God is my good; I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, that I may tell of all Thy works.
28A iet ai peren, i en te n ete n o n Kot, o i en kaporoporeki Kot leowa, pwen kalok jili omui wia wia kan karoj.
