Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1AKRIPA ap majani on Pauluj: Koe me jaladoklar en kapakaparok ki pein uk. Pauluj ap kapa wei lim a, kadededar pein i:
1Then Agrippa said to Paul: Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretching forth his hand, began to make his answer.
2I ap peren kidar main nanmarki Akripa, me i pan kapakaparok mo ’mui ran wet duen meakan, me Juj oko pan kin ia la,
2I think myself happy, O king Agrippa, that I am to answer for myself this day before thee, touching all the things whereof I am accused by the Jews.
3Pwe komui me erekilar en Juj oko ar lamalam o peipeidok kan, i ap poeki re omui, en kotin kanonama mamani ia.
3Especially as thou knowest all, both customs and questions that are among the Jews: Wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently.
4Ai wiawia kan arain maur i, me tapida Ierujalem ren jau i kan, Juj akan karoj aja due.
4And my life indeed from my youth, which was from the beginning among my own nation in Jerusalem, all the Jews do know:
5Irail me aja ia jan maj kokodo, ma re men kadede ia, me nai kijan pwin kelail en at lamalam, me ad a Parijar.
5Having known me from the beginning (if they will give testimony) that according to the most sure sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
6Nai ari mi mon kadeik, pweki ai kaporoporeki inau o, me Kot kotiki on jam at akan.
6And now for the hope of the promise that was made by God to the fathers, do I stand subject to judgment:
7Nan i inau o, me at kainok eijokriau kin kaporoporeki, me re pan pwaiki on ar nantion kaudok on Kot ni ran o ni pon. Main nanmarki Akripa iei kaporopor me i pan kila ren Juj oko.
7Unto which, our twelve tribes, serving night and day, hope to come. For which hope, O king, I am accused by the Jews.
8Da me komail jota kamelele, me Kot kotin kaiajada me melar akan?
8Why should it be thought a thing incredible, that God should raise the dead?
9Maj o i kiki on, me i en wiada meakan, me kaokaoe mar en lejuj en Najaret.
9And I indeed did formerly think, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
10I me i pil wiadar nan Ierujalem; o me jaraui kan toto me I jaliedier on nan imaten murin ai aleer manaman jan ren jamero lapalap akan o irail lao kamelar, nai pil jauaja.
10Which also I did at Jerusalem, and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority of the chief priests: and when they were put to death, I brought the sentence.
11I kame irail pan pak toto nan jinakoke kan karoj, o koidon on irail, re en lalaue, o nai linaranar kaualap pa ’rail; i kin kame irail lel on kanim en wai kan.
11And oftentimes punishing them, in every synagogue, I compelled them to blaspheme: and being yet more mad against them, I persecuted them even unto foreign cities.
12A ni ai wiawia mepukat, o kokolan Damajkuj ni manaman en jamero lapalap,
12Whereupon when I was going to Damascus with authority and permission of the chief priest,
13Main nanmarki, nin jauaj i ap kilanadar nani al o marain eu jan nanlan, me linan jan katipin, me jenjereda imp ai o me ian ia kai.
13At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me, and them that were in company with me.
14Kit karoj lao pupedier nani pwel, i ap ronadar nil eu, katitiki on ia ni lokaia en Ipru: Jaul, Jaul da me koe kamekame kin ia? Nan a pan apwal on uk, en tametame tek o.
14And when we were all fallen down on the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me in the Hebrew tongue: Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? It is hard for thee to kick against the goad.
15Nai ari idok: Ij komui Main? Kaun o ap kotin majani: Nai lejuj, me koe kin kame.
15And I said: Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord answered: I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
16Koe ari paurida, kajinenda, pwe i me I pwaraki don uk, pwen kajapwil uk ada, pwe koe en papa o jaunkadede men en meakan, me koe kilanada, o meakan, me I pan kapwara don uk.
16But rise up, and stand upon thy feet: for to this end have I appeared to thee, that I may make thee a minister, and a witness of those things which thou hast seen, and of those things wherein I will appear to thee,
17O l pan dondore jan uk ni pa en aramaj akan o men liki kan me I pan kadar uk wei on,
17Delivering thee from the people, and from the nations, unto which now I send thee:
18Pwen kapad pajan maj arail, pwe re en wuki jan rotorot, wuki on marain, o jan ni manaman en Jatan on Kot, pwe re en lapwa jan dip ar akan, o ren ale ar jojo ren me kamakelekele kidar pojon.
18To open their eyes, that they may be converted from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and a lot among the saints, by the faith that is in me.
19Ari main nanmarki Akripa, I jota jopeiki on kajanjal en nanlan o.
19Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not incredulous to the heavenly vision:
20Pwe maj i padaki on toun Damajkuj o Ierujalem, o jap en ludaa kan, o men liki kan, en kalula o wiiki on Kot, o kapwaiada wan kalula mau.
20But to them first that are at Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and unto all the country of Judea, and to the Gentiles did I preach, that they should do penance, and turn to God, doing works worthy of penance.
21Nan i me Juj akan jaik ia kidi nan im en kaudok o, o re jon kame ia la.
21For this cause the Jews, when I was in the temple, having apprehended me, went about to kill me.
22Ari jo, en Kot a kotin ieian ia, me i mimieki lao lel ran wet, padapadaki me tikitik o me laud akan, o jota me i inda, i eta, me jaukop akan o Mojej pil majanier, me pan wiaui:
22But being aided by the help of God, I stand unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying no other thing than those which the prophets, and Moses did say should come to pass:
23leteten, Krijtuj en kamekam, o me a pan men maj en me pan iajada jan ren me melar akan, o padaki on toun wei o pil on men liki kan duen marain o.
23That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light to the people, and to the Gentiles.
24A ni a kapun kila mepukat, pein i Pejtuj ap nil laudeda majani: Pauluj, koe iakalar! om jukujukul toto me kapwepwe uk adar.
24As he spoke these things, and made his answer, Festus said with a loud voice: Paul, thou art beside thyself: much learning doth make thee mad.
25A Pauluj kotin majani: I jota iakalar main ijou Pejtuj, a kin kida kajoi melel o pun.
25And Paul said: I am not mad, most excellent Festus, but I speak words of truth and soberness.
26Pwe nanmarki kotin mani duen mepukat; i me i pil aima padapadakieki on i, pwe i aja, jota meakot, me a jota kotin ereki, pwe kaidin waja rir, me mepukat wiauier.
26For the king knoweth of these things, to whom also I speak with confidence. For I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him. For neither was any of these things done in a corner.
27Nanmarki Akripa, komui pojon jaukop akan? I aja, me komui kin pojon.
27Believest thou the prophets, O king Agrippa? I know that thou believest.
28Akripa ap majani on Pauluj: Me tar kij, a komui pan kainon on ia en jaulanala.
28And Agrippa said to Paul: In a little thou persuadest me to become a Christian.
29Pauluj majani: I nonki on Kot, me komui o karoj, me roneron ia ran wet, en dueta nai, a iermen jal mata pot et.
29And Paul said: I would to God, that both in a little and in much, not only thou, but also all that hear me, this day, should become such as I also am, except these bands.
30Nanmarki, o kopina, o Pernije, o me ian irail kaipokedi waja o, ap kotida,
30And the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them.
31O kelepala, ap kapakaparok nan pun ar mamajani: Aramaj men et jota kin wiada me war on kamela de jalidi.
31And when they were gone aside, they spoke among themselves, saying: This man hath done nothing worthy of death or of bands.
32Akripa ap majani on Pejtuj: Aramaj men et pan lapwada, ma a jota dorolan Jija.
32And Agrippa said to Festus: This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed to Caesar.
