Iakopuj 2
Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
Berean Standard Bible
1Ri ko, komail pojon atail Kaun Iejuj Kriituj en linan er lipiliki aramaj amen.
1My brothers, as you hold out your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, do not show favoritism.
2Pwe ma ol amen pan ian omail jaraui, me kapwateki rin kold likau linan, o pil jamama amen, me a tuken likau o jakanekan pedelon,
2Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in shabby clothes also comes in.
3A ma komail pan kilekilan me mi nan likau linan, o komail pan indan i: Re kotido kaipokedi met, waja mau, ap indan me jamama: Koe en uda mo, de met impan utipa!
3If you lavish attention on the man in fine clothes and say, “Here is a seat of honor,” but say to the poor man, “You must stand” or “Sit at my feet,”
4Iaduen komail lipilipil nan pun omail, o komail wiala jaunkapun kan ni omail lamalam jued?
4have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?
5Ri ai kompok kan, komail ron! Kot jota kotin pilada me jamama nan jappa et, me kapwapwaki pojon, o me pan jojoki wei, me a kotin inauki on irail, me pok on i?
5Listen, my beloved brothers: Has not God chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom He promised those who love Him?
6A komail mamaleki me jamama o. Kaidin me kapwapwa kan kin wia jued on komail o panalan komail mol en kadeik kan?
6But you have dishonored the poor. Is it not the rich who oppress you and drag you into court?
7Irail jota kin lalaue mar ijou, me komail maranekier?
7Are they not the ones who blaspheme the noble name by which you have been called?
8Ma komail kapwaiada kapun ijou duen majan o: Koe en pok on men imp om dueta pein uk, nan komail wia me mau.
8If you really fulfill the royal law stated in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well.
9A ma komail pan lipilipiliki aramaj, komail kin wia dip, o kapun pan kadiarok on komail, me komail me dipan.
9But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors.
10Pwe meamen kapwaiada kapun pon, ap kawela kujoned eu, nan i me tiakedi karoj.
10Whoever keeps the whole law but stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.
11Pwe me kotin majanier: Koe der kamal, i me pil majanier: Koe der kamela aramaj! Ari, ma koe jota kamal, a ma koe kamela aramaj, nan koe me tiakedier kapun o.
11For He who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” If you do not commit adultery, but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker.
12Komail ari lokaia o wiawia duen irail, me pan pakadeikada ren kapun en kamaio.
12Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom.
13A me jota kin kadek, pan lodi on kadeik apwal, a me kadek, kin juaiki kadeik o.
13For judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
14Ri ai ko, da katepan aramaj amen, me pan inda, me a pojon mia, ap jota a wiawia mau kan? Iaduen pojon pan kak dorela i?
14What good is it, my brothers, if someone claims to have faith, but has no deeds? Can such faith save him?
15Ma ri atail ol de li amen mia, me jolar a likau, o jolar kan ar kijin mana kaukaule,
15Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food.
16A ma amen komail pan indan i: Kola popol raneran o manamana! Ap jota, me komail pan ki on i, me mau on pali war a, da katepa?
16If one of you tells him, “Go in peace; stay warm and well fed,” but does not provide for his physical needs, what good is that?
17Iduen pojon, ma a kelep o jota wiawia ian, nan a melar.
17So too, faith by itself, if it does not result in action, is dead.
18A ele amen pan inda: Om pojon mia, a ai wiawia kan mia; kajale on ia om pojon, me jota wiawia kan mia, a nai pan kajale on uk ai pojon ni ai wiawia kan.
18But someone will say, “You have faith and I have deeds.” Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds.
19Koe kamelele me Kot me ta men mia, me mau, nan tewil akan pil kin kamelele ap majakada.
19You believe that God is one. Good for you! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.
20A koe aramaj aklapalap, ma koe men dedeki, me pojon me mal kot, ma jota wiawia kan ian?
20O foolish man, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is worthless?
21Iaduen jam atail Apraam? A jota pun kila a wiawia kan, ni a pan maironki japwilim a kijin putak Ijaak pon pei jaraui?
21Was not our father Abraham justified by what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar?
22I me koe kilan, me pojon jauaja a wiawia kan, o pojon unjok kilar a wiawia kan.
22You see that his faith was working with his actions, and his faith was perfected by what he did.
23Ari majan o pwaidar: Apraam pojon Kot, o i me a pun kilar o a maraneki: Kompoke pan Kot.
23And the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,” and he was called a friend of God.
24Komail ari kilaner, me aramaj amen pan pun kila a wiawia kan a kaidin pojon ta.
24As you can see, a man is justified by his deeds and not by faith alone.
25Pil dueta Raap, li jued amen, kaidin a wiawia kan, me a pun kilar, ni a kajamo men en kadar, o kadar ir ala ni apot al toror?
25In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute justified by her actions when she welcomed the spies and sent them off on another route?
26Pwe duen pali war mela, ma jota nen, iduen pojon a mela, ma jota wiawia kan ian.
26As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.
