Timoteuj I 3
Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1MELEL kajoi pot et: Ma amen rapaki koa en pijop, a kin inon ion wiawia mau eu.
1A faithful saying: if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
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;
2It behoveth therefore a bishop to be blameless, the husband of one wife, sober, prudent, of good behaviour, chaste, given to hospitality, a teacher,
3A der kamom joko, o jo pamara, a en materok, o der inon ion akamai, o der pok on moni.
3Not given to wine, no striker, but modest, not quarrelsome, not covetous, but
4Me kin kaunda mau pein toun im a, o me na jeri kan kin peiki on ni tiak pun.
4One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all chastity.
5A ma amen, me jokoiok on kaunda pein toun im a, iaduen a pan kak kaunda momodijou en Kot?
5But if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?
6Pil kaidin jaulan kap amen, pwe a ende aklapalap, ap lodi on kadeik en tewil.
6Not a neophyte: lest being puffed up with pride, he fall into the judgment of the devil.
7O en pil kalok mau ren me mi liki, pwe a de lodi on kanamenok o katikatiamau pan tewil.
7Moreover he must have a good testimony of them who are without: lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
8Pil dueta jaunkoa kan en lelapok, jo lo riapot, jo kamom joko, jo noroke moni.
8Deacons in like manner chaste, not double tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre:
9Me kin kolekol nan injen arail makelekel rir en pojon.
9Holding the mystery of faith in a pure conscience.
10Mepukat en kajojonla maj, irail ap pan papa, ma irail me pun.
10And let these also first be proved: and so let them minister, having no crime.
11Pil dueta en jaunkoa ar warok kan, ren wia me kon on, o jo likinekine, o jo kowei kodo, o melel ni meakaroj.
11The women in like manner chaste, not slanderers, but sober, faithful in all things.
12Jaunkoa kan en warok en li ta men o ren kaunda mau nair jeri kan o toun im arail.
12Let deacons be the husbands of one wife: who rule well their children, and their own houses.
13A me papa mau, kin kalok maui pein irail, o re pan pereperenki melel pojon me mi ren Krijtuj Iejuj.
13For they that have ministered well, shall purchase to themselves a good degree, and much confidence in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
14Mepukat i intin won uk, o i kaporoporeki, me i pan pwarala re om madan.
14These things I write to thee, hoping that I shall come to thee shortly.
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.
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.
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.
16And evidently great is the mystery of godliness, which was manifested in the flesh, was justified in the spirit, appeared unto angels, hath been preached unto the Gentiles, is believed in the world, is taken up in glory.
