King James Version with Apocrypha
Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
1MELEL kajoi pot et: Ma amen rapaki koa en pijop, a kin inon ion wiawia mau eu.
2A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
2A pijop o en pun, o warok en li ta men, o jo kowei kodo, a lelapok, o tiak mau, o apwali men kairu, o koiok on padak;
3Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
3A der kamom joko, o jo pamara, a en materok, o der inon ion akamai, o der pok on moni.
4One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;
4Me kin kaunda mau pein toun im a, o me na jeri kan kin peiki on ni tiak pun.
5(For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)
5A ma amen, me jokoiok on kaunda pein toun im a, iaduen a pan kak kaunda momodijou en Kot?
6Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
6Pil kaidin jaulan kap amen, pwe a ende aklapalap, ap lodi on kadeik en tewil.
7Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
7O en pil kalok mau ren me mi liki, pwe a de lodi on kanamenok o katikatiamau pan tewil.
8Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;
8Pil dueta jaunkoa kan en lelapok, jo lo riapot, jo kamom joko, jo noroke moni.
9Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
9Me kin kolekol nan injen arail makelekel rir en pojon.
10And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless.
10Mepukat en kajojonla maj, irail ap pan papa, ma irail me pun.
11Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.
11Pil dueta en jaunkoa ar warok kan, ren wia me kon on, o jo likinekine, o jo kowei kodo, o melel ni meakaroj.
12Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
12Jaunkoa kan en warok en li ta men o ren kaunda mau nair jeri kan o toun im arail.
13For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
13A me papa mau, kin kalok maui pein irail, o re pan pereperenki melel pojon me mi ren Krijtuj Iejuj.
14These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly:
14Mepukat i intin won uk, o i kaporoporeki, me i pan pwarala re om madan.
15But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
15A ma i pwapwand, koe en aja duen me koe pan wia nan tanpaj en Kot, iei momodijou en Kot ieiaj, o ur o pajon en melel.
16And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
16Meid lapalap rir en pai ren Kot: Kot janjaleda ni uduk, ap diarokada me pun amen ren Nen, ap pwaralan tounlaw kan, ap lolok on men liki kan, ap kamelel lar ren toun jappa, ap peukadalan waja linan.
