Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
World English Bible
1RI ai ko, jam ai ko komail, ron maj ai japen komail.
1“Brothers and fathers, listen to the defense which I now make to you.”
2Irail lao roner, me a majani on irail ni lokaia en Ipru, re ap nenenla kaualap. I ari kotin majani.
2When they heard that he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, they were even more quiet. He said,
3Ol en Juj amen nai, me tikidar Tarjuj en Jilijia, a i kakairida nan kanim wet ni aluwilu en Kamaliel, padapadakki kapun en jam atail akan, o nantion poni poni Kot dueta komail kin wia ran wet.
3“I am indeed a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, instructed according to the strict tradition of the law of our fathers, being zealous for God, even as you all are today.
4O i kawelar al pot et lel on kamelar aramaj, ni ai jaliedi o panalan imaten ol o li akan.
4I persecuted this Way to the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women,
5Pwe iduen me jamero lapalap o jaumaj akan kin kadede kin ia, pwe i aleer jan irail kijin likau, on ri (atail) akan. I ap kolan Damajkuj, pwen pil jaliedi o wa don Ierujalem, me mi waja o, pwe ren kamekame.
5as also the high priest and all the council of the elders testify, from whom also I received letters to the brothers, and traveled to Damascus to bring them also who were there to Jerusalem in bonds to be punished.
6A ni ai koko wei korendor Damajkuj, nin jauaj, marain eu kodido jan nanlan, jare ia da.
6“As I made my journey and came close to Damascus, about noon suddenly a great light shone around me from the sky.
7Nai ari pupedi nani pwel o ronada nil eu, me majani on ia: Jaul, Jaul, da me koe kame kin ia?
7I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?’
8Nai ari potoan on: Ij komui Main? A kotin majani on ia: Nai Iejuj en Najaret, me koe kin kame.
8I answered, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ He said to me, ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you persecute.’
9A me ian ia udialer marain o, ap majapwekadar, a re jota ron kapit en me majan don ia.
9“Those who were with me indeed saw the light and were afraid, but they didn’t understand the voice of him who spoke to me.
10Nai potoan on: Da me i en wiada Main? Kaun o ap kotin majani on ia: Paurida u kowei on Damajkuj, nan a pan kapare on uk waja o, me kaonop on uk er, en wiada.
10I said, ‘What shall I do, Lord?’ The Lord said to me, ‘Arise, and go into Damascus. There you will be told about all things which are appointed for you to do.’
11A i jolar kak kilan waja, aki linan en marain o, i ap daululan Damajkuj; me ian ia kalua kin ia pa i.
11When I couldn’t see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of those who were with me, I came into Damascus.
12Ananiaj, ol lelapok amen duen kapun o, me kalok mau jli ren Juj akan karoj, me kaujon waja o,
12“One Ananias, a devout man according to the law, well reported of by all the Jews who lived in Damascus,
13Ap ko don ia kajikajinen imp ai indai on ia: Ri ai Jauluj, kilanada waja! Ari, ni auer ota i jaradan i.
13came to me, and standing by me said to me, ‘Brother Saul, receive your sight!’ In that very hour I looked up at him.
14I ari katitiki: Kot en jam atail akan, me pil uk adar, pwe koe en lolekonki a kupur, o udial me Pun o, o ron kapit en jllan i.
14He said, ‘The God of our fathers has appointed you to know his will, and to see the Righteous One, and to hear a voice from his mouth.
15Pwe koe pan japwilim a jaunkadede on aramaj karoj, duen me koe kilanadar o ronadar.
15For you will be a witness for him to all men of what you have seen and heard.
16Ari, da me koe auiaui? Paurida o paptaijela, pwe dip om akan en widen jan, o jakarkidan mar a.
16Now why do you wait? Arise, be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.’
17A kadekadeo i lao pwara don Ierujalem o kapakap nan im en kaudok o, i ap wukilar.
17“When I had returned to Jerusalem and while I prayed in the temple, I fell into a trance
18O i kilan i, me kotin majani on ia: Kananata, madana wei jan Ierujalem, pwe irail jota pan duki on om kadede kin ia.
18and saw him saying to me, ‘Hurry and get out of Jerusalem quickly, because they will not receive testimony concerning me from you.’
19Nai ari potoan on: Main, pein irail aja, me i panalan nan imaten o woki nan jinakoke kan me kin pojon komui.
19I said, ‘Lord, they themselves know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue those who believed in you.
20A ni japwilim ar jaunkadede Jtepanuj kamatalar, nai pil u impa o peren kidar a kamatalar, nekinekid likau en me kamatalar i ko.
20When the blood of Stephen, your witness, was shed, I also was standing by, consenting to his death, and guarding the cloaks of those who killed him.’
21A ap kotin majani on ia: U ko wei, pwe I pan kadar uk ala waja doo ren men liki kan.
21“He said to me, ‘Depart, for I will send you out far from here to the Gentiles.’ ”
22Irail roneron i lel on majan pot et, ap nil laudeda indada: Jiken wei jan jappa lap men et! Pwe a jota mau on, i en momaureta!
22They listened to him until he said that; then they lifted up their voice and said, “Rid the earth of this fellow, for he isn’t fit to live!”
23A ni arail weriwerada, o kajelar ar likau, o kajadar pwelpar,
23As they cried out, threw off their cloaks, and threw dust into the air,
24Kaun lapalap o ap majani, i en wijikelan nan im en jaunpei o majani, ren woki i, pwe i en lelapok kila, da me re weiwei lokeki i.
24the commanding officer commanded him to be brought into the barracks, ordering him to be examined by scourging, that he might know for what crime they shouted against him like that.
25Irail lao jaliedi i, Pauluj ap idok ren kaun o, me u impa: Me pun, en woki aramaj en Rom amen, me kaikenta pakadei kadar?
25When they had tied him up with straps, Paul asked the centurion who stood by, “Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman, and not found guilty?”
26Kaun o lao ronada met, ap kola ren kaun lapalap o indada: Da me kom pan wiada, pwe aramaj men et men Rom amen.
26When the centurion heard it, he went to the commanding officer and told him, “Watch what you are about to do, for this man is a Roman!”
27Kaun lapalap o ap kodo indai on i: Katitiki on ia, ol en Rom amen komui? A japen: Ei.
27The commanding officer came and asked him, “Tell me, are you a Roman?” He said, “Yes.”
28Kaun lapalap o japen: Pwai laud me i jaladok kilar. A Pauluj majani: A nai me tikidar jaladok.
28The commanding officer answered, “I bought my citizenship for a great price.” Paul said, “But I was born a Roman.”
29Me kodo kadeikada i, ap madan pure jan i, o kaun lapalap lao ajadar, me i ol en Rom amen, a pil majakadar, pweki a jaliedi i.
29Immediately those who were about to examine him departed from him, and the commanding officer also was afraid when he realized that he was a Roman, because he had bound him.
30A mandan ran o a inon ion melel aja karep en Juj oko ar panala i, ap lapwada i o kapokon pena jamero lapalap o toun kapun o, ap wadila Pauluj o kotikidi on i mo ’rail.
30But on the next day, desiring to know the truth about why he was accused by the Jews, he freed him from the bonds and commanded the chief priests and all the council to come together, and brought Paul down and set him before them.
