Men Korint I 7
Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1A IET duen me komail intine don ia, a mau on aramaj amen, a ender jair li amen.
1Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
2Ari jo, amen amen en ale pein a warok li, o amen amen en ale pein a warok ol, pwen der dender.
2Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
3Ol o en wiai on a warok li me inen, a pil dueta li on a warok ol.
3Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
4Li o jota kak poedi pein war a, a a warok. Pil dueta ol o jota kak poedi pein war a, a a warok.
4The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.
5Der jo oke amen amen, ma jo, pweki inau anjau kij, pwen mot ijejol rer ekij o kapakap, ap pur pena, pwe Jatan de kajonejon komail omail jo oke pena.
5Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
6Mepukat kaidin kujoned eu, pwe pein ai lamelam.
6But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.
7A i men aramaj akan karoj en dueta nai. A amen amen aleer pein a pai en mak jan ren Kot duen amen amen.
7For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.
8A nai indai on me jo papaud o li odi kan, me mau irail en dadaur dueta nai.
8I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.
9A ma irail jota kak on, irail en papaud; me mau papaud jan dender.
9But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
10O on me papaud akan nai me ilaki wei, a kaidin nai pwe Kauno: Li papaud ender kamuei wei jan a warok!
10And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:
11A ma a muei wei janer, i en dadaurete a kirip de kadeke a warok, o ol ender kajela a warok.
11But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
12Kaidin Kaun o, pwe nai men indan me tei kan: Ma ri atail ol amen mia, me a paud jopojon amen, ap men mimieta re a, a ender kajela li o.
12But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
13Pil dueta li amen, ma a warok jopojon amen o a men mimieta re a, a ender kajela ol o,
13And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
14Pwe ol jopojon me kajaraui kilar li o, o li jopojon kajaraui kilar ol o, pwe ma a jo due met, noumail jeri kan me jamin, a met irail me jaraui.
14For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
15A ma me jopojon o pan muei wei jan, ari i en muei wei jan; ri ol de ri li jota kin kaupindi ni mepukat. A Kot me kotin molipe kitail, pwen popol pena.
15But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases : but God hath called us to peace.
16Pwe iaduen, koe li o, koe aja, me koe pan kak kamaurela ol o? De koe ol, koe pan kamaurela li o?
16For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
17A duen Kaun o pan on amen amen, duen Kot molipe on amen amen, iduen dadaurata; nan iduen nai ilakilan momodijou akan karoj.
17But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches.
18Ma amen me paeker ni jirkomjaij, i en dadaurata a jirkomjaij, a ma amen me paeker ni jojirkomjaij, i ender ian jirkomjaij.
18Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.
19Pwe kaidin meakot jirkomjaij, o pil kaidin meakot jojirkomjaij, a wiawia kujoned en Kot akan.
19Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
20Amen amen en dadaurata udan a koa ni a paeker.
20Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.
21Ma koe paeker ni om ladu, koe der injenjuedeki, a ma koe pan kak maioda jan, ari pil me mau.
21Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.
22Pwe ladu men, me paeker on Kaun o, nan a maio ren Kaun o; o pil dueta me maio men paeker ap pan ladun Krijtuj men.
22For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord’s freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ’s servant.
23Komail me neti kidar pai eu, der wiala ladun aramaj akan.
23Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.
24Ri ai kan, amen amen dadaurata ut arail ren Kot.
24Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.
25A duen peinekap akan, jota kujoned eu jan ren Kaun o; a pein ai lamelam mia, pwe i aleer mak en Kaun, pwen kak melel.
25Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.
26let me i lameda, me mau on aramaj jota papaud, pwe ni anjau apwal wet.
26I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say , that it is good for a man so to be.
27Ma koe kapapaud on li amen, ender men muei jan, a ma jo om paud mia, ender rapaki li amen.
27Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
28A kaidin dip eu, ma koe pan papaud; o ma jeripein amen pan papaud, kaidin dip. A a pan apwal on mepukat ni pali uduk arail. A nai jota men, me apwal kot en lel on komail.
28But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.
29A ri ai kan, mepukat i indada, pweki anjau o me motomot. A pil eu: Me mau on me ar warok mier, en wia dene jota ar warok;
29But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;
30O me kin janejan, dene jota janejan; o me kin pereperen, dene jota ar peren; o me kin netinet, dene jota ar kapwa.
30And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;
31O me dodokki jappa, ren kalaka, pwe eder wiaki me jued. Pwe mom en jappa et pan rojala.
31And they that use this world, as not abusing it : for the fashion of this world passeth away.
32A i men, komail ender lodi on me apwal. Me jota papaud, kin apwali me japwilim en Kaun o, duen a pan kaperenda Kaun o.
32But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:
33A me papaud, kin lamelame, me kon on jappa, duen a pan kaperenda a paud.
33But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.
34A nan pun en li papaud o peinekap me wuk pajan: Me jota papaud, kin apwali me japwilim en Kaun o, pwen jaraui ni pali war o pil ni pali nen; a me papaud, kin inon ion me kijan jappa, duen a pan kak kaperenda a warok.
34There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
35Mepukat i inda wei, pwen kamaui komail, a kaidin pwen jaliedi komail, a pwen jauaja komail, pwe karoj en inen o pun re omail, o pwe komail en papa Kaun o.
35And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.
36A ma amen lamelame, me japun, ma a jota pan mueid on na jeripein, me mau on papaud, en papaud; ari, a pan wia duen me a mauki, pwe kaidin dip, ma a pan mueid on i en papaud.
36But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry.
37A ma amen me kelail ni monion i, pil kelail on kaunda, pein injen a, ap inauki on nan monion i en kolekol na jeripein, I me mau.
37Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well.
38Ari, ma amen pan papaud me mau, a ma amen jota pan papaud, me mau jan.
38So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better.
39Li papaud amen me kaupina kidi pun en papaud arain a warok memaur; a ol o lao mela, nan a maio on kapapaud, me a mauki, i eta; a en wiaui ren Kaun.
39The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.
40Meid pai, ma a pan dadaurata a kirip duen me i lameda, A nai aja, me Nen en Kot pil kotikot re i.
40But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God.
