Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
Berean Standard Bible
1PAULUJ ari kotilan Derpe o Lijtra. A kilan tounpadak amen mi waja o, me ad a Timoteuj, nain li en Juj me pojon amen, a jam a men Krik.
1Paul came to Derbe and then to Lystra, where he found a disciple named Timothy, the son of a believing Jewish woman and a Greek father.
2Nan i kalok mau jili ren jaulan en Lijtra o Ikonien akan.
2The brothers in Lystra and Iconium spoke well of him.
3Pauluj kotin men, i en waroki on i. I ari uk i o jirkomjaij i, pweki Juj oko, me mi waja o, pwe irail ajaer, me jam a men Krik amen.
3Paul wanted Timothy to accompany him, so he took him and circumcised him on account of the Jews in that area, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
4A ni arail kotikot jili nan kanim akan, re padaki on irail me ren kapwaiada kujoned oko, me wiauier ren wanporon o jaunkoa kan nan Ierujalem.
4As they went from town to town, they delivered the decisions handed down by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem for the people to obey.
5Momodijou kan ari kelailada ni pojon o re totolar ni ran karoj.
5So the churches were strengthened in the faith and grew daily in numbers.
6A Nen jaraui kotin inapwiedi, me ren der padak duen majan nan Ajien, re ap kakan jili Prikien o Kalatien.
6After the Holy Spirit had prevented them from speaking the word in the province of Asia, they traveled through the region of Phrygia and Galatia.
7Irail lao pwara don Mijien, re jon daulul wei on Pitinien, a Nen en Iejuj jota kotin mueid on.
7And when they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not permit them.
8Irail lao daulul lar Mijien, ap kodilan Troaj.
8So they passed by Mysia and went down to Troas.
9A kajanjal eu pwara don Pauluj ni pon: Ol en Majetonien amen me uda, poekipoeki i indada: Kom koti don Majetonien, jauaja kit!
9During the night, Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and pleading with him, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.”
10A lao udialer kajanjal o, kit madan kolan Majetonien, pwe je ajaer, me Kaun o kotin molipe kit, en kolan padaki on irail ronamau.
10As soon as Paul had seen the vision, we got ready to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.
11Kit ari majel wei jan Troaj o inen won Jamotrajien, a manda lel on Neapolij,
11We sailed from Troas straight to Samothrace, and the following day on to Neapolis.
12O jan waja o lel Pilipi, kanim lapalap ni apali en Majetonien, me kijan jap en men Rom. Kit ari mimieta nan kanim o ran akai.
12From there we went to the Roman colony of Philippi, the leading city of that district of Macedonia. And we stayed there several days.
13Ni ran en japat je koiei jan kanim o, kolan pon pilap pot, waja re kin kapakap ia. Kit ari mondi o kawewe on li akai, me kin pokopokon waja o.
13On the Sabbath we went outside the city gate along the river, where it was customary to find a place of prayer. After sitting down, we spoke to the women who had gathered there.
14A li amen ad a Lidia, men jaunet en likau waitata, men Tiatira amen, me kin kaudok on Kot. Nan i me roneron kit. A Kaun o kotin ritinada monion i, pwen apapwali meakan, me Pauluj majanier.
14Among those listening was a woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth from the city of Thyatira, who was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul’s message.
15I o a penainai lao paptaijelar, ap poeki re at indada: Ma komail kajau ia da, me i pojonlar Kaun o, komail pan pedelon on nan im ai o kotikot ia; i ari nidinide kin kit.
15And when she and her household had been baptized, she urged us, “If you consider me a believer in the Lord, come and stay at my house.” And she persuaded us.
16Kadekadeo ni at kolan kapakap lidu amen, me kin wun ani, ap tu on kit, me kin kare on moni toto ren a jaumaj kan ki a wun ani.
16One day as we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a slave girl with a spirit of divination, who earned a large income for her masters by fortune-telling.
17I me idauen Pauluj o kit weriwer indada: Aramaj pukat me japwilim en Kot lapalap ladu ko, me kin padaki on komail duen al en maur.
17This girl followed Paul and the rest of us, shouting, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who are proclaiming to you the way of salvation!”
18A mepukat a wiadar ran toto. A Pauluj kupurola kaualap ap kotin jaupeila majani on nen o: Ni mar en Iejuj Krijtuj me i indai on uk, keredi jan i! I ap keredi jan ni auer ota.
18She continued this for many days. Eventually Paul grew so aggravated that he turned and said to the spirit, “In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her!” And the spirit left her at that very moment.
19A jaumaj akan lao diarada, me jolar kaporopor en ar men wiaki moni, ap jaikidi Pauluj o Jilaj, wai ira Ion don wajan net ron jaumaj akan.
19When the girl’s owners saw that their hope of making money was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them before the authorities in the marketplace.
20O kalua ira wei ren jaun kapun kan katitiki: Aramaj pukat kijan men Juj kin kaokaoe atail kanim,
20They brought them to the magistrates and said, “These men are Jews and are throwing our city into turmoil
21O padapadaki tiak me jota pun je en ale de wiada, pwe Kit nil men Rom.
21by promoting customs that are unlawful for us Romans to adopt or practice.”
22Aramaj karoj ap uda por on ira, o jaunkapun ko dere jan ara likau kan o kapi, ren woki ira.
22The crowd joined in the attack against Paul and Silas, and the magistrates ordered that they be stripped and beaten with rods.
23Irail wokiwoki ira pan pak toto, rap kaje ira di nan imaten o kapiedi jilepa o, en kateneten ira di.
23And after striking them with many blows, they threw them into prison and ordered the jailer to guard them securely.
24A lao aleer kujoned wet ap kaje ira di on nan waron, en imaten o jaliedi aluwilu ’ra nin tuka kai.
24On receiving this order, he placed them in the inner cell and fastened their feet in the stocks.
25A lao ni ailep en pon Pauluj o Jilaj kapakap o melkaka mi Kot, o me jalidi ko roneron Ira,
25About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.
26A jap o madan rerereda, kajukajuk en imaten mokidedar, wanim ko ap madan ritida o ar jal akan karoj lapwadar.
26Suddenly a strong earthquake shook the foundations of the prison. At once all the doors flew open and everyone’s chains came loose.
27A jilepan imaten lao pirida jan a mair o kilan wanim ko ar ritidar, ap napekida a kodlaj o, a pan kamela pein i, pwe a kiki on, me jalidi ko me pitila.
27When the jailer woke up and saw the prison doors open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, presuming that the prisoners had escaped.
28A Pauluj kapitie laudeda majani: Kom der kame uk ala, pwe kit karoj mia.
28But Paul called out in a loud voice, “Do not harm yourself! We are all here!”
29A ap idok lamp eu o tan rerer o dairukedi jan Pauluj n Jilaj.
29Calling for lights, the jailer rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas.
30O wa ira wei jan indada: Main ko, da me i en wiada, pwen kamaurla?
30Then he brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
31Ira ap majani: Pojon Kaun Iejuj, a koe o toun im om pan maurola.
31They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, you and your household.”
32Ira ari kawewe on i o toun im a karoj majan en Kaun o.
32Then Paul and Silas spoke the word of the Lord to him and to everyone in his house.
33I ari uk ira ni auer ota 11 i pon o, widen ara pwal oko. I o na kan karoj ap madan paptaij elar.
33At that hour of the night, the jailer took them and washed their wounds. And without delay, he and all his household were baptized.
34I ap kalua won ira nan im a, ap kida mo ’ra kijin mana, o peren kidar a pojonla Kot, i o ian a kan.
34Then he brought them into his home and set a meal before them. So he and all his household rejoiced that they had come to believe in God.
35A lao ran pajan, jaupeidi ko poronela papa ko indada: Lapwada aramaj pukat!
35When daylight came, the magistrates sent their officers with the order: “Release those men.”
36Jilepan imaten o ap kaireki Pauluj majan pukat indada: Jaupeidi ko me ilakido, koma en lapwada. Koma ari kotila popol.
36The jailer informed Paul: “The magistrates have sent orders to release you. Now you may go on your way in peace.”
37A Pauluj kotin majani on irail: Irail janjal kadeike kit adar o woki kit men Rom, ap kaje kit ale nan imaten, a met re men kadar kit ala jo janjal. A jo, irail en pein kodo, wa kit wei.
37But Paul said to the officers, “They beat us publicly without a trial and threw us into prison, even though we are Roman citizens. And now do they want to send us away secretly? Absolutely not! Let them come themselves and escort us out!”
38A papa ko kaireki jaupeidi kan majan pukat. Irail ap majakadar ni ar ronadar, me ira men Rom.
38So the officers relayed this message to the magistrates, who were alarmed to hear that Paul and Silas were Roman citizens.
39Irail ari kodo, poeki re ’ra o wa ira la jan, o nidinideki ira, en japal wei jan nan kanim o.
39They came to appease them and led them out, requesting that they leave the city.
40Ira ari pedoido jan nan imaten o, ap kotila ren Lidia. Ira lao tu on jaulan kan, ap panaui irail o jipale wei.
40After Paul and Silas came out of the prison, they went to Lydia’s house to see the brothers and encourage them. Then they left the city.
