Waiwa 17
Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1IRA kotin weid nan Ampipolij o Apolonia, ap pwara don Tejalonik, waja jinakoke en Juj oko mi ia.
1Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews:
2Pauluj ap kotilon on re ’rail duen a kin wiawia o ian ir kapakaparok pena jan kijin likau kan ni ran en japat jilu.
2And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of 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.
3Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ.
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.
4And some of them believed, and consorted with Paul and Silas; and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.
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.
5¶ But the Jews which believed not, moved with envy, took unto them certain lewd fellows of the baser sort, and gathered a company, and set all the city on an uproar, and assaulted the house of Jason, and sought 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.
6And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also;
7A Iajon kajamo ira er, o irail karoj kin tiakedi majan en Jija ni ar katitiki, me dene amen Nanmarki Iejuj.
7Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Cæsar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus.
8Irail ari kamakaradar aramaj o jaumaj akan nan kanim o ni ar ronadar mepukat.
8And they troubled the people and the rulers of the city, when they heard these things.
9Irail lao aleer jan ren Iajon o me tei kan ar kapwa, re ap kadar ira la.
9And when they had taken security of Jason, and of the other, they let them go.
10A jaulan kan madan kadarala Pauluj i Jilaj ni pon Peroa. Irail lao pwarado, ap kotilon on nan jinakoke en Juj oko.
10¶ And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
11Mepukat me mau jan irail nan Tejalonik, pwe re pitipit aleer majan o pereperen kalelapokki kijin likau ni ran karoj, ma melel mepukat.
11These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
12Ari, me toto irail pojonlar, li o ol en Krik kan kijan jaupeidi me toto ian.
12Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.
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 of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and stirred up the people.
14A jaulan kan madan kadarala Pauluj, dene a pan kotidila ni oror. A Jilaj i Timoteuj mimieta waja o.
14And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go as it were to the sea: but Silas and Timotheus abode there still.
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.
15And they that conducted Paul brought him unto Athens: and receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timotheus for to come to him with all speed, they departed.
16A ni en Pauluj a kotin auiaui ira nan Aten kupura ap ola ni a majani nan kanim o dikedik en ani rok ia.
16¶ Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry.
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.
17Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him.
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.
18Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoicks, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say? other some, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached unto them 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?
19And they took him, and brought him unto Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new doctrine, whereof thou speakest, is ?
20Pwe kajoi en wai pot, me kom wa don kit, kit ari men weweki duen mepukat.
20For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we would know therefore what these things mean.
21Pwe toun Aten o men wai kan, me mi waja o, kin jopijokki ar kajokajoi o roneron duen meakaroj me kap.
21(For all the Athenians and strangers which were there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing.)
22A Pauluj kotida pon dol en marj majani: Komail ol oko en Aten, i kajauiadar, me komail kin majak kaualap kot likam akan,
22¶ Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars’ hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.
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 passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto 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.
24God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with 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.
25Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
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.
26And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
27Pwe ren raparapaki Kot, ma ir kak pam o diar i, pwe a jota kin doo jan amen amen kitail.
27That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
28Pwe i me kitail kin memaureki, o mokideki, o mimiaki, duen akai omail jaunkaul pil indadar: Pwe kij a kitail karoj.
28For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also 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.
29Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device.
30Ari, kot kotin kanonama on kitail ni anjaun atail rotorot. A anjau wet a kotin majani on aramaj karoj, ren kalula waja karoj.
30And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where 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.
31Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men , in that he hath raised 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.
32¶ And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter .
33Pauluj ari kotila jan re ’rail.
33So Paul departed from among them.
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.
34Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed: among the which was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
