Waiwa 28
Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
Berean Standard Bible
1KIT lao pitilar, je ap ronadar, me dake o adaneki Melite.
1Once we were safely ashore, we learned that the island was called Malta.
2A men liki kan me kadek on kit kaualap, pwe irail jaunda kijiniai o kajamo kit karoj, pweki katau moremor o pweki kapau.
2The islanders showed us extraordinary kindness. They kindled a fire and welcomed all of us because it was raining and cold.
3Pauluj lao wajai tui pena o kidi on nani iai, jerpent men ap lujadar jan nani iai pweki karakar o ten on ni lim a.
3Paul gathered a bundle of sticks, and as he laid them on the fire, a viper, driven out by the heat, fastened itself to his hand.
4A men liki ko lao udial man o a teneten ni lim a, re ap kajokajoi nan pun arail: Melel aramaj men et me kamelar aramaj, a piti janer nan madau, ap rialar.
4When the islanders saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “Surely this man is a murderer. Although he was saved from the sea, Justice has not allowed him to live.”
5I ari jipede won man o nani iai o jota mejued kot lel on i.
5But Paul shook the creature off into the fire and suffered no ill effects.
6Irail majamajan, ma a jota pan umpojada de pupedi matala, a re lao majamajan warai o kilan, me a jo juedi on, re wuki dalar ar lamelam o katitiki, me dene kot amen.
6The islanders were expecting him to swell up or suddenly drop dead. But after waiting a long time and seeing nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds and said he was a god.
7Jaupeidi en dake o, me maraneki Pupliuj, kin japaneki waja o, kajamo o apapwali kit ran jilu.
7Nearby stood an estate belonging to Publius, the chief official of the island. He welcomed us and entertained us hospitably for three days.
8A jam en Pupliuj wononeki jomau karakar o jomau nta. I me Pauluj koti don re a kapaka paki, pwil lim a kan po a, kakeladar i.
8The father of Publius was sick in bed, suffering from fever and dysentery. Paul went in to see him, and after praying and placing his hands on him, he healed the man.
9Men en lao wiauier, karoj me jomau nin dake, ap kodo kakelailadar.
9After this had happened, the rest of the sick on the island came and were cured as well.
10O re pil kaka kin kit kaualap. Kit lao majeldar, irail ari kidan pon jop o at kapinwar kajampwal.
10The islanders honored us in many ways and supplied our needs when we were ready to sail.
11A murin jaunipon jilu je ian jop en Alekjandrien pot, me mimi ni dake o ni anjaun kapau, me kilel en mpor.
11After three months we set sail in an Alexandrian ship that had wintered in the island. It had the Twin Brothers as a figurehead.
12A je keredi Jerakuj o kairu waja o pon jili pon.
12Putting in at Syracuse, we stayed there three days.
13O jan waja o je pidok tanatan lela don Rekium, o manda an air irepokedo o pon ta pon je lel on Puteoli.
13From there we weighed anchor and came to Rhegium. After one day, a south wind came up, and on the second day we arrived at Puteoli.
14I waja o je tuon ia jaulan kai, me poeki re at, jen mondi re ’rail pon iji pon. Kit ari tanatan kokolan Rom.
14There we found some brothers who invited us to spend the week with them. And so we came to Rome.
15O jaulan kan en waja o lao ronadar duen kit, re ap kodo tu on kit Apipor o Tretapern; Pauluj lao diar ir ada, ap kapina Kot o kaporopor maular.
15The brothers there had heard about us and traveled as far as the Forum of Appius and the Three Taverns to meet us. When Paul saw them, he was encouraged and gave thanks to God.
16Kit lao lel Rom, kaun en jaunpei ap panalan kaun en jilepa kan me jalidi ko, a Pauluj me jaladok kotikot waja toror, jaunpei men me jinjila i.
16When we arrived in Rome, Paul was permitted to stay by himself, with a soldier to guard him.
17Kadekadeo murin ran jilu Pauluj ap molipe pena jaumaj en Juj akai. Irail lao pokon penaer, a ap majani on irail: Ri ai ko, nan jota mejued kot, me i wiadar on aramaj, de on lamalam en jam atail akan, ari jo, nai me jalidi o pakadara don ni pa en men Rom akan jan Ierujalem.
17After three days, he called together the leaders of the Jews. When they had gathered, he said to them, “Brothers, although I have done nothing against our people or the customs of our fathers, I was taken prisoner in Jerusalem and handed over to the Romans.
18Irail lao kalekalelapoki ia, ap men lapwa ia dar, pwe jota dip ai, me i en kame kila.
18They examined me and wanted to release me, because there was no basis for a death sentence against me.
19A Juj oko lao palian ia, i ap dorolan Jija, kaidin ai men mpimpaki toun jap ai.
19But when the Jews objected, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar, even though I have no charge to bring against my nation.
20I me i ekera komail ki pena, i en kilan komail o kajokajoi on komail, pweki en Juj akan ar kaporopor, me i jalikidi jal mata pot et.
20So for this reason I have called to see you and speak with you. It is because of the hope of Israel that I am bound with this chain.”
21Irail japen i: Jota kijin likau, me je ale jan Iudaa duen komui, pil jota jaulan amen, me kodiao, me kaire kin kit o kadedeki, me dip omui mia.
21The leaders replied, “We have not received any letters about you from Judea, nor have any of the brothers from there reported or even mentioned anything bad about you.
22A je men rona jan komui duen omui lamelam, pwe je roner duen pwin wet, me re kin palian waja karoj.
22But we consider your views worth hearing, because we know that people everywhere are speaking against this sect.”
23Irail ari kileledi on i ran eu, ap pokon don re a nan im en kairu. I ari kawewe on irail o katitiki duen wein Kot, kapakaparok ki on irail Iejuj jan nan kapun en Mojej o jaukop akan, jan ni manjan lel nin jautik.
23So they set a day to meet with Paul, and many people came to the place he was staying. He expounded to them from morning to evening, testifying about the kingdom of God and persuading them about Jesus from the Law of Moses and the Prophets.
24Akai irail me kamelele a padak a akai jo.
24Some of them were convinced by what he said, but others refused to believe.
25Irail ari jota minimin pena nan pun arail, re ap pur pajan ni en Pauluj a katitiki majan pot et: Melel, jaukop Iejaia kopadar ren Nen jaraui on jam atail akan.
25They disagreed among themselves and began to leave after Paul had made this final statement: “The Holy Spirit was right when He spoke to your fathers through Isaiah the prophet:
26Majani: Ko won ren aramaj pukat indada: Komail kin ron ap jo lelapok ki o ninar, ap jota dedeki.
26‘Go to this people and say, “You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.”
27Pwe monion en aramaj pukat juedalar, o jalon arail ponlar, o maj arail mair penaer, pwe re de nar kida waja maj ar, o ron kida waja jalon arail, o ajaki nan monion arail o japaledo, o I en kakele ir ada.
27For this people’s heart has grown callous; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn, and I would heal them.’
28Komail ari en aja, me maur wot jan Kot mueidalan men liki Kan o re pil pan peiki on.
28Be advised, therefore, that God’s salvation has been sent to the Gentiles, and they will listen!”
29I lao majanier mepukat, Juj oko ap ko pajan o kapakaparok nan pun ar kaualap.

30A Pauluj kotikot nan im eu, me a kin ijeja par riau, o kajamo karoj, me ko don i,
30Paul stayed there two full years in his own rented house, welcoming all who came to visit him.
31Kaweweda wein Kot o aima padapadaki duen Kaun Iejuj Krijtuj pwe jota me inapwiedi.
31Boldly and freely he proclaimed the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ.
