Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
Berean Standard Bible
1A TOUNPADAK kan lao totolar ni ran pukat men Krik kai ap lipaned on men Ipru, aki jota me apwali ar li odi kan ni ar dodok en ran akan.
1In those days when the disciples were increasing in number, the Grecian Jews among them began to grumble against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food.
2Ekriamen oko ap molipe pena tounpadak kan majani: A jota mau on, jen muei jan majan en Kot, pwen papa ni tepel.
2So the Twelve summoned all the disciples and said, “It is unacceptable for us to neglect the word of God in order to wait on tables.
3Ari ri (at) akan, rapaki jan nan pun omail ol ijimen, me kalok mau, me dir en Nen (jaraui) o lolekon, me jen kajapwiladan dok wet!
3Therefore, brothers, select from among you seven men confirmed to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will appoint this responsibility to them
4A kit pan apapwalita kapakap o dodok pan majan o.
4and will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”
5Pokon o ari peren kida kaparok pot et. Re ap piladar Jtepanuj, ol amen, me dir en pojon o Nen jaraui, pil Pilipuj, o Prokoruj, o Nikanor, o Timon, o Parmenaj, o Nikolauj, projelite jan Antiokien amen.
5This proposal pleased the whole group. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, as well as Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas from Antioch, a convert to Judaism.
6Re kidan irail mon wanporon akan. Re lao kapakaper ap kidan po ’rail lim ar.
6They presented these seven to the apostles, who prayed and laid their hands on them.
7Majan en Kot ari pwaida kaualap, o tounpadak kan madan totolar nan lerujalem, o jamero toto pil ian lamalam o.
7So the word of God continued to spread. The number of disciples in Jerusalem grew rapidly, and a great number of priests became obedient to the faith.
8A Jtepanuj, me dir en pojon o kelail, ap wiadar manaman o kilel laud kai nan pun en aramaj akan.
8Now Stephen, who was full of grace and power, was performing great wonders and signs among the people.
9A akai me udar, me kijan jinakoke en Liperti o men Kirene, omen Alekjandrien, o men Jilijia, o Ajien akamai on Jtepanuj.
9But resistance arose from what was called the Synagogue of the Freedmen, including Cyrenians, Alexandrians, and men from the provinces of Cilicia and Asia. They began to argue with Stephen,
10A re jota kak palian en Jtepanuj a kupurokon o Nen o, me audeda i.
10but they could not stand up to his wisdom or the Spirit by whom he spoke.
11Irail ari pwain on ol akai, pwen katiti: Je roner, me a lalaue mojej o Kot.
11Then they prompted some men to say, “We heard Stephen speak words of blasphemy against Moses and against God.”
12I rail pil kamakarada aramaj, o jaumaj akai, o jaunkawewe, re ap jaikidi i o koledi, re ap wa don i mod en kadeik o,
12So they stirred up the people, elders, and scribes and confronted Stephen. They seized him and brought him before the Sanhedrin,
13O kapwareda jaunkadede likam akai, me katitiki: Aramaj men et jota kin dukedi jan a lulaue waja jaraui et o kapun.
13where they presented false witnesses who said, “This man never stops speaking against this holy place and against the law.
14Pwe je roner, me a katitiki, me Iejuj en Najaret pan kawela waja et o kawilianla lamalam kan, me Mojej kotiki on kitail er.
14For we have heard him say that Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and change the customs that Moses handed down to us.”
15A karoj, me ian mod on kapun o, kankakil i, kajauiada, me jilan a dueta jilan en tounlan amen.
15All who were sitting in the Sanhedrin looked intently at Stephen, and they saw that his face was like the face of an angel.
