Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
World English Bible
1AKRIPA ap majani on Pauluj: Koe me jaladoklar en kapakaparok ki pein uk. Pauluj ap kapa wei lim a, kadededar pein i:
1Agrippa said to Paul, “You may speak for yourself.” Then Paul stretched out his hand, and made his defense.
2I ap peren kidar main nanmarki Akripa, me i pan kapakaparok mo ’mui ran wet duen meakan, me Juj oko pan kin ia la,
2“I think myself happy, King Agrippa, that I am to make my defense before you today concerning all the things the Jews accuse me of,
3Pwe komui me erekilar en Juj oko ar lamalam o peipeidok kan, i ap poeki re omui, en kotin kanonama mamani ia.
3especially because you are expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews. Therefore I beg you to hear me patiently.
4Ai wiawia kan arain maur i, me tapida Ierujalem ren jau i kan, Juj akan karoj aja due.
4“Indeed, all the Jews know my way of life from my youth up, which was from the beginning among my own nation and at Jerusalem;
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 first, if they are willing to testify, that after the strictest 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.
6Now I stand here to be judged for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers,
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.
7which our twelve tribes, earnestly serving night and day, hope to attain. Concerning this hope I am accused by the Jews, King Agrippa!
8Da me komail jota kamelele, me Kot kotin kaiajada me melar akan?
8Why is it judged incredible with you if God does raise the dead?
9Maj o i kiki on, me i en wiada meakan, me kaokaoe mar en lejuj en Najaret.
9“I myself most certainly thought 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.
10I also did this in Jerusalem. I both shut up many of the saints in prisons, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death I gave my vote against them.
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.
11Punishing them often in all the synagogues, I tried to make them blaspheme. Being exceedingly enraged against them, I persecuted them even to foreign cities.
12A ni ai wiawia mepukat, o kokolan Damajkuj ni manaman en jamero lapalap,
12“Whereupon as I traveled to Damascus with the authority and commission from the chief priests,
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 noon, O king, I saw on the way a light from the sky, brighter than the sun, shining around me and those who traveled 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.
14When we had all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew language, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’
15Nai ari idok: Ij komui Main? Kaun o ap kotin majani: Nai lejuj, me koe kin kame.
15“I said, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ “He said, ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
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 arise, and stand on your feet, for I have appeared to you for this purpose: to appoint you a servant and a witness both of the things which you have seen and of the things which I will reveal to you;
17O l pan dondore jan uk ni pa en aramaj akan o men liki kan me I pan kadar uk wei on,
17delivering you from the people and from the Gentiles, to whom I send you,
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 turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’
19Ari main nanmarki Akripa, I jota jopeiki on kajanjal en nanlan o.
19“Therefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient 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 declared first to them of Damascus, at Jerusalem, and throughout all the country of Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance.
21Nan i me Juj akan jaik ia kidi nan im en kaudok o, o re jon kame ia la.
21For this reason the Jews seized me in the temple and tried 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:
22Having therefore obtained the help that is from God, I stand to this day testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would happen,
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.
23how the Christ must suffer, and how, by the resurrection of the dead, he would be first to proclaim light both to these 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 thus made his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, “Paul, you are crazy! Your great learning is driving you insane!”
25A Pauluj kotin majani: I jota iakalar main ijou Pejtuj, a kin kida kajoi melel o pun.
25But he said, “I am not crazy, most excellent Festus, but boldly declare words of truth and reasonableness.
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 knows of these things, to whom also I speak freely. For I am persuaded that none of these things is hidden from him, for this has not been done in a corner.
27Nanmarki Akripa, komui pojon jaukop akan? I aja, me komui kin pojon.
27King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you believe.”
28Akripa ap majani on Pauluj: Me tar kij, a komui pan kainon on ia en jaulanala.
28Agrippa said to Paul, “With a little persuasion are you trying to make me 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.
29Paul said, “I pray to God, that whether with little or with much, not only you, but also all that hear me today, might become such as I am, except for these bonds.”
30Nanmarki, o kopina, o Pernije, o me ian irail kaipokedi waja o, ap kotida,
30The king rose up with the governor and Bernice, and those who sat with them.
31O kelepala, ap kapakaparok nan pun ar mamajani: Aramaj men et jota kin wiada me war on kamela de jalidi.
31When they had withdrawn, they spoke to one another, saying, “This man does nothing worthy of death or of bonds.”
32Akripa ap majani on Pejtuj: Aramaj men et pan lapwada, ma a jota dorolan Jija.
32Agrippa said to Festus, “This man might have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar.”
