Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
Berean Standard Bible
1IRA kotin weid nan Ampipolij o Apolonia, ap pwara don Tejalonik, waja jinakoke en Juj oko mi ia.
1When they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.
2Pauluj ap kotilon on re ’rail duen a kin wiawia o ian ir kapakaparok pena jan kijin likau kan ni ran en japat jilu.
2As was his custom, Paul went into the synagogue, and on three Sabbaths he reasoned with them from the Scriptures,
3A kotin padaki o kajaleda, me Krijtuj udan kalokolok o iajada jan ren me melar akan, o me Iejuj men et, me i kawewe on komail, me Krijtuj.
3explaining and proving that the Christ had to suffer and rise from the dead. “This Jesus I am proclaiming to you is the Christ,” he declared.
4O akai irail me pojonla ap waroki on Pauluj i Jilaj, o pil men Krik lelapok me toto, o li jaupeidi me kaidin me malaulau.
4Some of the Jews were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, along with a large number of God-fearing Greeks and quite a few leading women.
5A Juj oko pepeirindar, ap ukada ol jued kai, o kapokon irail pena o kapeida kanim o, o kapil pena im en Iajon, pwen wa ira don pokon o.
5The Jews, however, became jealous. So they brought in some troublemakers from the marketplace, formed a mob, and sent the city into an uproar. They raided Jason’s house in search of Paul and Silas, hoping to bring them out to the people.
6Irail lao jo diar ira da re ap waikelon don jaumaj akan en kanim o Iajon o jaulan kai indada: Mepukat kamokimo kidadar jappa, nan ira pil pwara dor met.
6But when they could not find them, they dragged Jason and some other brothers before the city officials, shouting, “These men who have turned the world upside down have now come here,
7A Iajon kajamo ira er, o irail karoj kin tiakedi majan en Jija ni ar katitiki, me dene amen Nanmarki Iejuj.
7and Jason has welcomed them into his home. They are all defying Caesar’s decrees, saying that there is another king, named Jesus!”
8Irail ari kamakaradar aramaj o jaumaj akan nan kanim o ni ar ronadar mepukat.
8On hearing this, the crowd and city officials were greatly disturbed.
9Irail lao aleer jan ren Iajon o me tei kan ar kapwa, re ap kadar ira la.
9And they collected bond from Jason and the others, and then released them.
10A jaulan kan madan kadarala Pauluj i Jilaj ni pon Peroa. Irail lao pwarado, ap kotilon on nan jinakoke en Juj oko.
10As soon as night had fallen, the brothers sent Paul and Silas away to Berea. On arriving there, they went into the Jewish synagogue.
11Mepukat me mau jan irail nan Tejalonik, pwe re pitipit aleer majan o pereperen kalelapokki kijin likau ni ran karoj, ma melel mepukat.
11Now the Bereans were more noble-minded than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if these teachings were true.
12Ari, me toto irail pojonlar, li o ol en Krik kan kijan jaupeidi me toto ian.
12As a result, many of them believed, along with quite a few prominent Greek women and men.
13A men Juj en Tejalonik ko lao roner, me Pauluj pil padapadak nan Peroa majan en Kot, irail ap kodo o kamakaradar aramaj akan.
13But when the Jews from Thessalonica learned that Paul was also proclaiming the word of God in Berea, they went there themselves to incite and agitate the crowds.
14A jaulan kan madan kadarala Pauluj, dene a pan kotidila ni oror. A Jilaj i Timoteuj mimieta waja o.
14The brothers immediately sent Paul to the coast, but Silas and Timothy remained in Berea.
15O me pelikid Pauluj akan kalua i lel Aten. Irail lao aleer kujoned on Jilaj o Timoteuj, me ira en pitipit ko don i, re ap jamalar.
15Those who escorted Paul brought him to Athens and then returned with instructions for Silas and Timothy to join him as soon as possible.
16A ni en Pauluj a kotin auiaui ira nan Aten kupura ap ola ni a majani nan kanim o dikedik en ani rok ia.
16While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, he was deeply disturbed in his spirit to see that the city was full of idols.
17I ari kotin padaki on Juj oko o me toun kaudok kan nan jinakoke pil wajan net, me a kotin padaki on, me kin pokon pena waja o ni ran akan karoj.
17So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and God-fearing Gentiles, and in the marketplace with those he met each day.
18A jaunpadak en Epikurioj o Jtoik kai ap akamai on i o akai indada: Da paupaulap men et men inda? O akai indada: Likamata i jaunpadak en kot en wai akan aki a padaki on irail ronamau en Iejuj o en aramaj ar pan maureda.
18Some Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also began to debate with him. Some of them asked, “What is this babbler trying to say?” Others said, “He seems to be advocating foreign gods.” They said this because Paul was proclaiming the good news of Jesus and the resurrection.
19Irail ari ukada i o wai an Areopak indada: Kit jota pan kak ron duen padak kap pot et, me koe kin kaweweda?
19So they took Paul and brought him to the Areopagus, where they asked him, “May we know what this new teaching is that you are presenting?
20Pwe kajoi en wai pot, me kom wa don kit, kit ari men weweki duen mepukat.
20For you are bringing some strange notions to our ears, and we want to know what they mean.”
21Pwe toun Aten o men wai kan, me mi waja o, kin jopijokki ar kajokajoi o roneron duen meakaroj me kap.
21Now all the Athenians and foreigners who lived there spent their time doing nothing more than hearing and articulating new ideas.
22A Pauluj kotida pon dol en marj majani: Komail ol oko en Aten, i kajauiadar, me komail kin majak kaualap kot likam akan,
22Then Paul stood up in the meeting of the Areopagus and said, “Men of Athens, I see that in every way you are very religious.
23Pwe ni ai koko jili met, o kilekilaner omail jaraui kan, i ap diaradar pei jaraui eu, me intinidier poa: Japwilim en kot me jo diarokadar, me komail kin kaudoki on ap jaja i, i me I kin padapadaki on komail.
23For as I walked around and examined your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. Therefore what you worship as something unknown, I now proclaim to you.
24Kot me kotin wiadar jappa o audepa karoj i me Kaun en nanlan o jappa, nan a jota kotikot nan im en kaudok kan me aramaj wiadar.
24The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples made by human hands.
25O jota me kin upaki i p a en aramaj likamata a kotin anane meakot; pwe pein i kin kotin nene on karoj maur, o ajinok o meakaroj.
25Nor is He served by human hands, as if He needed anything, because He Himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.
26O a kotin wiadar wein aramaj en jappa karoj kaparapar jan nta ta ieu, pwen kaukaujon nan jap karoj, o a kotin kiledier warai o wajan ar kaujon.
26From one man He made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and He determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their lands.
27Pwe ren raparapaki Kot, ma ir kak pam o diar i, pwe a jota kin doo jan amen amen kitail.
27God intended that they would seek Him and perhaps reach out for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us.
28Pwe i me kitail kin memaureki, o mokideki, o mimiaki, duen akai omail jaunkaul pil indadar: Pwe kij a kitail karoj.
28‘For in Him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are His offspring.’
29Ari, ma kitail kijan Kot, kitail ender lamelame, me Kot rajon kold, de jilper, de takai, de dikedik eu, me aramaj lolekon diaradar.
29Therefore, being offspring of God, we should not think that the Divine Being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by man’s skill and imagination.
30Ari, kot kotin kanonama on kitail ni anjaun atail rotorot. A anjau wet a kotin majani on aramaj karoj, ren kalula waja karoj.
30Although God overlooked the ignorance of earlier times, He now commands all people everywhere to repent.
31Pwe a kotin kileledier ran eu, me a pan kotin kadeika kida jappa Ol amen, me a kotin katororedar ni tiak pun. A iet kilel, me a kotiki on aramaj karoj: A kotin kaiajadar i jan ren me melar akan.
31For He has set a day when He will judge the world with justice by the Man He has appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising Him from the dead.”
32Irail lao ronadar duen mauredan me melar akan akai ap lalaue, a akai inda: Je men pur on ron jan komui duen met.
32When they heard about the resurrection of the dead, some began to mock him, but others said, “We want to hear you again on this topic.”
33Pauluj ari kotila jan re ’rail.
33At that, Paul left the Areopagus.
34A ol akai waroki on i o pojonlar. Amen ir Dionijiuj kijan jaunkapun kan; a li amen, me ad a Damarij, o pil akai ian irail.
34But some joined him and believed, including Dionysius the Areopagite, a woman named Damaris, and others who were with them.
