Petruj II 2
Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
Berean Standard Bible
1Aren men ljrael jaukop likam kai pil mia, duen jaunpadak likam me pan mi re omail, me pan kawailon. do pwin jued kai, o re kin kamamki Kaun o, me dore ir ala, a i me re pan kare on pein irail kaopar madan.
1Now there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2O me toto pan idauen ar padak japun, i me lamalam melel me pan kaankaururla.
2Many will follow in their depravity, and because of them the way of truth will be defamed.
3O pweki ar nonorok ni lokaia widin re pan paie kin komail; ari, kadeik par duen men maj jota pan pwand, o ar pakamekam jota kin moleilei.
3In their greed, these false teachers will exploit you with deceptive words. The longstanding verdict against them remains in force, and their destruction does not sleep.
4Pwe, ma Kot jota kotin kupura tounlan ko, me wiadar dip, a a kotin kaje ir di lan nan pweleko, ap jalie kidi jal mata en rotorot, nekineki on ran en kadeik.
4For if God did not spare the angels when they sinned, but cast them deep into hell, placing them in chains of darkness to be held for judgment;
5O ma a jota kupura men kaua kan, a kamaureda Noa, jaunpadak en lamalam pun, ianaki pil ijimen, ni a kotikl on toun jappa jued nolik lapalap.
5if He did not spare the ancient world when He brought the flood on its ungodly people, but preserved Noah, a preacher of righteousness, among the eight;
6O a kotin wia kila paj kanim Jodom o Komora, o wukidedi, o kadeik ira da en ola, o wia kin ira kilel eu on me jan Kot akan, me pan pwarado mur.
6if He condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction, reducing them to ashes as an example of what is coming on the ungodly;
7O a kotin kapitala Lot pun amen, me aramaj jued wiai on jon en me jued karoj ni ar tiak jued.
7and if He rescued Lot, a righteous man distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless
8Pwe i ol pun o kaukaujon nan pun arail, kilekilan o roneron ar wiawia, kupur a pun ap lokelokki ar wiawia japun kaukaule.
8(for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)—
9A Kaun o kotin kak on kamaiola jan ni jonapan lelapok kan o nekinekid on ran en kadeik me japun kan, pwe ren kalokolok.
9if all this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment.
10A irail eta, me weweid ni inon jamin en pali uduk, o mamaleki monjap akan, o laumaum, o katiwo, o jomajak, o lalaue me linan akan.
10Such punishment is specially reserved for those who indulge the corrupt desires of the flesh and despise authority. Bold and self-willed, they are unafraid to slander glorious beings.
11A tounlan kan, me lapalap o kelail jan irail, jota kin lalaue o kadeik irail da mon Kaun o.
11Yet not even angels, though greater in strength and power, dare to bring such slanderous charges against them before the Lord.
12A mepukat rajon man akan, me jota ar lamelam, me udan kileledier on jalidi o kamela, pwe re lalaue, me re jaja, o re pan mekila ar wiawia jued.
12These men are like irrational animals, creatures of instinct, born to be captured and destroyed. They blaspheme in matters they do not understand, and like such creatures, they too will be destroyed.
13Re pan ale katin en ar japun. Re kin kajampwaleki kaped en mana ni ran o. Irail men kajamin, o kanamenok, o kin ponmajuki omail mairon, o jokraui omail kapwa.
13The harm they will suffer is the wages of their wickedness. They consider it a pleasure to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their deception as they feast with you.
14O por en majarail me dir en kamal, o re jota kak dukedi jan wia dip, kotakotaue ir, me monion ar jo ten, o monion arail nonorok, iei jeri en rialar akan.
14Their eyes are full of adultery; their desire for sin is never satisfied; they seduce the unstable. They are accursed children with hearts trained in greed.
15Me kajela al inen, ap jalonala, idedauen al en Pileam, nain Peor, me pok on pwain en me japun.
15They have left the straight way and wandered off to follow the way of Balaam son of Beor, who loved the wages of wickedness.
16A a pokoki dip a, man aj loton lokelokaia ki nil en aramaj, kapueoki jan jaukop o ni a wiawia japun.
16But he was rebuked for his transgression by a donkey, otherwise without speech, that spoke with a man’s voice and restrained the prophet’s madness.
17Irail me rajon utun pil matada, o dapok me melimel kin iririp jili; nan rotorot lapalap me nekinekid on irail.
17These men are springs without water and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them.
18Pwe re kin kida padak aklapalap, me jota kadepa, o ni ar wiawia jamin, re kin kainon ion inon jued en uduk, irail me apton muei jan me japunki padak likam.
18With lofty but empty words, they appeal to the sensual passions of the flesh and entice those who are just escaping from others who live in error.
19Re inauki on irail, ren jaledokala, a pein irail ladu en kajuedpar. Pwe melel, me amen lodi oner, i me a kin liduie kila.
19They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves to depravity. For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him.
20Pwe ma re pitila jan nan pwel en jappa, ki ar ajaer Kaun o Jaunkamaur Iejuj Krijtuj, rap pur on lijelepin kila o lodi on I nan ar wiawia en mur me jued jan men maj.
20If indeed they have escaped the corruption of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, only to be entangled and overcome by it again, their final condition is worse than it was at first.
21Mak eta, ma re jota aja duen al en pun, jan ar aja, ap wuki wei jan kujoned jaraui, me re aleer.
21It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness than to have known it and then to turn away from the holy commandment passed on to them.
22Pwe, karajeraj o pwaida re’rail, me inda: Kiti men kin pur on kan a muj, o pwik, me duduer, pur on uledok nan pwel.
22Of them the proverbs are true: “A dog returns to its vomit,” and, “A sow that is washed goes back to her wallowing in the mud.”
