King James Version with Apocrypha
Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
1IEJUJ ap kotin kaparok on pokon o japwilim a tounpadak kan,
2Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat:
2Majani; Jaunkawewe o Parijar akan kin mondi nan deun Mojej.
3All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.
3Ari, karoj me re indan komail, i me komail en wia o kapwaiada, a dor ale jaw ar wiawia kan; pwe irail kin indada, ap jota kapwaiada.
4For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.
4Re kin pira pena kapwa en wijik me toutou melel, ap kidan pon apar en aramaj, a irail jota men jairki jondin pa arail.
5But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
5O re kin kapwaiada ar wiawia kan karoj, pwe aramaj en ududial. Pwe irail kin kadalape ar kijin likau en kataman o kalaudela ni kailan ar likau.
6And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
6Irail kin nonki mondi ni tapin tepel ni kamadip o, o leppandam nan jinakoke kan.
7And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
7O re kin mauki, aramaj en ranamau on irail nan deun net, o aramaj en wia kin ir Rapi, Rapi,
8But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
8A komail der wonki, aramaj en wia kin komail Rapi, pwe me ta men omail Jaunpadak, a komail pirien pena.
9And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
9O komail der kaadaneki meamen jam nan jappa, pwe amen Jam omail, me kotikot nanlan.
10Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.
10O komail der nonki, aramaj en wia kin komail jaumaj, pwe me ta men omail Jaumaj: Krijtuj.
11But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
11A me lapalap re omail, en omail papa.
12And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
12Pwe me pan kajapwilada pein i, pan japwilidi, a me pan Kujapwilidi pein i, pan kajapwilada.
13¶ But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves , neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
13Juedi on komail jaunkawewe o Parijar akan, malaun komail! Komail kin ritinidi wein nanlan mon aramaj akan, pwe komail jota pan pedelon, a me men pedelon, komail jota kin mueid on.
14Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
14Juedi on komail jaunkawewe o Parijar akan, malaun komail! Komail me nopur jan im en li odi kan ap liliajoj kapakap reirei. Omail kalokolok pan laud melel.
15Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
15Juedi on komail jaunkawewe o Parijar akan, malaun komail! Komail kin pidipidaki jed o jap, pwen wiada projelit amen, a lao wialar, komail ap pan wia kin i toun pweleko amen, me jued jan komail.
16Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!
16Juedi on komail jaunkalua majkun, komail me kin inda: Meamen kin kaukila im en kaudok, dene jota katepa, a me kin kaukila kold en im en kaudok, i me pun.
17Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
17Komail pweipwei o majkun, pwe da me kajampwal ren kold de im en kaudok o, me kin kajarauiala kold?
18And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.
18O meamen kin kaukila pei jaraui, dene jota katepa, a me kaukila mairon, me mi poa dene I me pun,
19Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
19Komail pweipwei o majkun, pwe da me kajampwal ren mairon de pei jaraui, me kin kajarauiala mairon?
20Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
20Ari, meamen kaukila pei jaraui, kin kaukila i o meakan, me mi poa.
21And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.
21O meamen kaukila im en kaudok, kin kaukila i ianaki i me kotikot lole.
22And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
22O me kaukila nanlan, kin kaukila mol en Kot o me kin kaipokedi on poa.
23Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
23Juedi on komail jaunkawewe o Parijar akan, malaun komail! Komail kin maironki eijokkij eu en minje, o til, o kimel, ap jota injenoki kujoned en kapun kajampwal akan: Pun, o kadek, o pojon. Komail wiada mepukat, ap pil kapwaiada me tei kan!
24Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
24Jaunkalua majkun komail, me kin ijenoki kijin am enwel, ap katalala kamel!
25Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
25Juedi on komail jaunkawewe o Parijar akan, malaun komail! Pwe komail kin kamakelekel kajak o dal liki, a lol me dir en me re kuliada o me jued.
26Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
26Parijar majkun koe, kamakelekele maj lol en kajak o dal akan, pwe pali liki en pil makelekeleda!
27Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness.
27Juedi on komail jaunkawewe o Parijar akan, malaun komail! Komail rajon joujou kan, me jementen, me kin janjal kajelel, a lole me dir en ti en me melar akan o jow en jaut karoj.
28Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
28I duen komail, me janjal pun mon aramaj, a lole komail me dir en malaun o japun.
29Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
29Juedi on komail jaunkawewe o Parijar akan, malaun komail! Pwe komail kin apapwali joujou en jaukop akan o kapwataki joujou en me pun kan.
30And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
30Ap inda: Ma kit mia ni muein jam atail akan, kit jota pan ian irail kamela jaukop akan.
31Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.
31Ari, pein komail kin kadede, me komail nain me kamelar jaukop akan.
32Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
32A komail kaunjokala wiawia en jam omail akan!
33Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
33Komail jerpent o wan oter akan! Pala komail pan piti jan kadeik en nan pweleko?
34¶ Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:
34Kilan, i me I kadara don komail jaukop akai, o me lolekon kai, o jaunkawewe kai; a akai irail, me komail pan kamela, o kalopuela, o akai komail pan kaloke nan omail jinakoke kan, o komail pan paki irail jan nan eu kanim on nan eu.
35That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
35Pwen kapokon on komail nta makelekel karoj, me kapwilipwilidier nan jappa jan ntan Apel pun kokodo lei ntan Jakariaj, nain Parakiaj, me komail kamelar nan pun en im en kaudok o pei jaraui.
36Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
36Melel I indai on komail, mepukat pan pwai on di wet.
37O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
37O Ierujalem, Ierujalem, me kin kamela jaukop akan o kate me pakadara don uk kan; pan pak toto. me I pan kapokon pena noumail akan, duen litok kin kompwal pena na purok kan pan pa a, a komail kan.
38Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
38Kilan, im omail pan tanla.
39For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
39Pwe I indai on komail, komail jolar pan kilan ia jan ni anjau wet, lao komail pan inda: Meid iajanai, me kotido ni mar en Kaun o!
