Men Kalejia 4
Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1A iet me i men inda: Jojo men arain a jeri, a jo toror jan ladu men, ari jo, a kaun en meakaroj.
1Now I say, as long as the heir is a child, he differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
2A kin upa on jaunpadak o jaunkoa kan lao lel anjau me jam a kileledier.
2But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed by the father:
3Iduen kitail ni atail kijin jeri, kitail kin upai on padak en jappa kan.
3So we also, when we were children, were serving under the elements of the world.
4A anjau lao leler, Kot ap kotin poronedo japwilim a Ol, me ipwidi jan ren li amen, ap mi pan kapun o.
4But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent his Son, made of a woman, made under the law:
5Pwen kajaledoka ir ala, me mi pan kapun, pwe kitail en wiala japwilim a jeri.
5That he might redeem them who were under the law: that we might receive the adoption of sons.
6Komail ari jeri kan, i me Kot ap kotin poronedo Nen en japwilim a Ol nan monion atail, me kin likelikwir: Apa Jam!
6And because you are sons, God hath sent the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying: Abba, Father.
7Ari, jolar ladu men, pwe jeri ta; a ma jeri nan pil jeri jojo en Kot.
7Therefore now he is not a servant, but a son. And if a son, an heir also through God.
8A ni anjau o me komail jaja Kot, komail papaer me kaidin udan kot akan.
8But then indeed, not knowing God, you served them, who, by nature, are not gods.
9A metet komail ajalar Kot, o Kot me kotin mani komail melel, menda komail pil japal lan lamalam jued o jakanekan, me komail men pur on papa?
9But now, after that you have known God, or rather are known by God: how turn you again to the weak and needy elements, which you desire to serve again?
10Komail kin kajarauiela ran akai, o jaunipon kai, o anjau kai, o jaunpar kai.
10You observe days, and months, and times, and years.
11I non kin komail, pwe ele ai dodok on komail jota pan kadepa.
11I am afraid of you, lest perhaps I have laboured in vain among you.
12Ri ai kan, i nidinidi kin komail, en dueta nai, pwe nai kin dueta komail, pwe jota me jued kot, me komail wiai on ia er.
12Be ye as I, because I also am as you: brethren, I beseech you: you have not injured me at all.
13A komail aja due i maj o, me i padaki on komail er ronamau ni ai luet en pali uduk.
13And you know, how through infirmity of the flesh, I preached the gospel to you heretofore: and your temptation in my flesh,
14O komail jota mamaleki ai jonejon ni uduk ai o tata kin ia; a komail apwali ia la dueta nai tounlan en Kot amen, de dueta Iejuj Krijtuj.
14You despised not, nor rejected: but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.
15Iaduen wan omail pai ni anjau o! Pwe i kadede duen komail, ma a kak pa omail. komail pan pwadika jan por en maj omail ap ki on ia.
15Where is then your blessedness? For I bear you witness, that, if it could be done, you would have plucked out your own eyes, and would have given them to me.
16Iaduen, i wiala omail imwintiti, pweki ai lokaia melel on komail.
16Am I then become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
17Arail nanantion rapaki komail me jota mau; irail men kamueit kitail pajan, pwe komail en id idauen irail.
17They are zealous in your regard not well: but they would exclude you, that you might be zealous for them.
18Me mau anjau karoj en nantion me mau kan, a kaidin ta ni ai mi re omail.
18But be zealous for that which is good in a good thing always: and not only when I am present with you.
19Nai jeri kan! I naitik japal komail ki madak, lao Krijtuj kawuk komail la on pein mom a.
19My little children, of whom I am in labour again, until Christ be formed in you.
20I men mi re omail anjau wet o men kawukila nil ai, pwe I jajalar ir omail.
20And I would willingly be present with you now, and change my voice: because I am ashamed for you.
21Komail, me kin men mi pan kapun o, indan ia, ma komail jota kin ron kapun o?
21Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, have you not read the law?
22Pwe a intinidier, me nain Apraam putak riamen mia, amen jan ren na lidu, a amen jan ren me maioda.
22For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, and the other by a free woman.
23A me jon ren lidu ipwiki uduk, a me jan ren me maioda, ipwiki inau en Kot.
23But he who was of the bondwoman, was born according to the flesh: but he of the free woman, was by promise.
24Mepukat karajepa eu, pwe met inau riau, eu jan ni nana Jinai, me kin naitiki on na kan papa, i me Akar.
24Which things are said by an allegory. For these are the two testaments. The one from mount Sina, engendering unto bondage; which is Agar:
25Pwe Akar nana Jinai nan Arapien, me raj on Ierujalem en met, o kin lidilidui ian na jeri kan.
25For Sina is a mountain in Arabia, which hath affinity to that Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
26A Ierujalem, me mi poa, me maioda iei in atail.
26But that Jerusalem, which is above, is free: which is our mother.
27Pwe a intinidier: Pereperen koe me li dapwan, me jota kin naitik, kadailon o werida koe, me jo kaipwi on, pwe nain li dapwan jeri kan me toto jan me a warok mia.
27For it is written: Rejoice, thou barren, that bearest not: break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for many are the children of the desolate, more than of her that hath a husband.
28A komail ri ai ol akan, me rajon Ijaak, me jeri en inau kan.
28Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
29A duen maj o, me ipwiki uduk, me kailonki me ipwiki Nen o, iduen anjau wet.
29But as then he, that was born according to the flesh, persecuted him that was after the spirit; so also it is now.
30A da me kijin likau o majani? Kajela li lidu o na putak! Pwe putak en lidu jota pan ian nain li me maioda jojoki.
30But what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son; for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the free woman.
31Ari ri ai kan, kitail jota jeri en lidu, pwe nain me maioda.
31So then, brethren, we are not the children of the bondwoman, but of the free: by the freedom wherewith Christ has made us free.
