Iakopuj 2
Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
World English Bible
1Ri ko, komail pojon atail Kaun Iejuj Kriituj en linan er lipiliki aramaj amen.
1My brothers, don’t hold the faith of our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with partiality.
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,
2For if a man with a gold ring, in fine clothing, comes into your synagogue, and a poor man in filthy clothing 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!
3and you pay special attention to him who wears the fine clothing and say, “Sit here in a good place;” and you tell the poor man, “Stand there,” or “Sit by my footstool”
4Iaduen komail lipilipil nan pun omail, o komail wiala jaunkapun kan ni omail lamalam jued?
4haven’t you shown partiality 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. Didn’t God choose those who are poor in this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the Kingdom which he promised to 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 man. Don’t the rich oppress you and personally drag you before the courts?
7Irail jota kin lalaue mar ijou, me komail maranekier?
7Don’t they blaspheme the honorable name by which you are called?
8Ma komail kapwaiada kapun ijou duen majan o: Koe en pok on men imp om dueta pein uk, nan komail wia me mau.
8However, if you fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do 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 partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.
10Pwe meamen kapwaiada kapun pon, ap kawela kujoned eu, nan i me tiakedi karoj.
10For whoever keeps the whole law, and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.
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 commit murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery but do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.
12Komail ari lokaia o wiawia duen irail, me pan pakadeikada ren kapun en kamaio.
12So speak and so do as men who are to be judged by the law of freedom.
13A me jota kin kadek, pan lodi on kadeik apwal, a me kadek, kin juaiki kadeik o.
13For judgment is without mercy to him who has shown no mercy. 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 a man says he has faith, but has no works? Can faith save him?
15Ma ri atail ol de li amen mia, me jolar a likau, o jolar kan ar kijin mana kaukaule,
15And if a brother or sister is naked and in lack of 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?
16and one of you tells them, “Go in peace. Be warmed and filled;” yet you didn’t give them the things the body needs, what good is it?
17Iduen pojon, ma a kelep o jota wiawia ian, nan a melar.
17Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself.
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.
18Yes, a man will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without works, and I will show you my faith by my works.
19Koe kamelele me Kot me ta men mia, me mau, nan tewil akan pil kin kamelele ap majakada.
19You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe—and shudder.
20A koe aramaj aklapalap, ma koe men dedeki, me pojon me mal kot, ma jota wiawia kan ian?
20But do you want to know, vain man, that faith apart from works is dead?
21Iaduen jam atail Apraam? A jota pun kila a wiawia kan, ni a pan maironki japwilim a kijin putak Ijaak pon pei jaraui?
21Wasn’t Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?
22I me koe kilan, me pojon jauaja a wiawia kan, o pojon unjok kilar a wiawia kan.
22You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was perfected.
23Ari majan o pwaidar: Apraam pojon Kot, o i me a pun kilar o a maraneki: Kompoke pan Kot.
23So the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him as righteousness,” and he was called the friend of God.
24Komail ari kilaner, me aramaj amen pan pun kila a wiawia kan a kaidin pojon ta.
24You see then that by works a man is justified, and not only by faith.
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, wasn’t Rahab the prostitute also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?
26Pwe duen pali war mela, ma jota nen, iduen pojon a mela, ma jota wiawia kan ian.
26For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.
