Iakopuj 3
Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
Berean Standard Bible
1RI ai ko, me jota mau, ma komail me toto inon ion jaunpadakala, pwe komail aja, me kitail pan lel on kadeik laud.
1Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.
2Pwe pan pak toto kitail kin japun, a ma amen jota kin japunki lokaia kij, nan i ol melel amen, o a kak koaki pali war a pokon.
2We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to control his whole body.
3Kilan, kitail kin ki on nan au en oj kijin mata, pwe ren peiki on kitail, o kitail kin kawuk jili war arail pokon.
3When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can guide the whole animal.
4Kilan, pil jop akan! Irail me kalaimun o an kin ipir wei, ari jo, men ilil tikitik kak kawuki on waja, me kaptin kin inon ion ia.
4Consider ships as well. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot is inclined.
5Iduen lo me kokon tikitik eu, a a juaijuai lapalap. Kilan, duen kijiniai tikitik kin ijikada nana kalaimun!
5In the same way, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it boasts of great things. Consider how small a spark sets a great forest ablaze.
6Iduen lo en aramaj, a raj on kijiniai o aude pan japun karoj. Lo o kijan kokon atail, ap kajaminela war pon, a kin ijikada wiawia en nan maur atail karoj, a pein i ijij jan nan pweleko.
6The tongue also is a fire, a world of wickedness among the parts of the body. It pollutes the whole person, sets the course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.
7Pwe jon en man laualo karoj, o manpir, o me karop, o man akan, me kin memaur nan jed, kin kamandala o kaloedi ren aramaj akan.
7All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles, and creatures of the sea are being tamed and have been tamed by man,
8A lo o jota aramaj amen me kak kaloedi, nan me jued kot, me dir en men kamela.
8but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
9I me kitail kapinaki Kaun o Jam, o kitail kariaki i aramaj akan, me wiauier ni mom en Kot.
9With the tongue we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God’s likeness.
10Jon ni au ota kapai o kariu kin tapi jan ia. Ri ai ko, me jota pun, mepukat en wiaui due.
10Out of the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, this should not be!
11Daduen utun pil pot, a kin ki wei pil iau o jadik jan ni por ta ieu?
11Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring?
12Ri ai ko, pik pot pil kak wu wan le, de wain pan kak wan pik? Pil dueta parer jol eu jota kak kida pil.
12My brothers, can a fig tree grow olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.
13Ij me lolekon re omail, o erekila padak? I en kajaleda ni lamalam mau a wiawia kan ni impai o lolekon.
13Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good conduct, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.
14A ma peirin o akamai mier nan monion omail, komail der juaiki palian melel o der kalikame me melel.
14But if you harbor bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast in it or deny the truth.
15Pwe lolekon wet, me jota tapi jan poa a udan pa et, pali uduk, pali tewil.
15Such wisdom does not come from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.
16Pwe waja peirin o akamai mia, nan i wajan jaminimin o dodok jued karoj kin wiauiaui ia.
16For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every evil practice.
17A lolekon, me tapi jan ni pali poa, maj a kin makelekel, ap pil kaminimin, o kampai, o matarok, o dir en kadek, o wa mau, o jo peikajal, o jo malaun.
17But the wisdom from above is first of all pure, then peace-loving, gentle, accommodating, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial, and sincere.
18A wan pun pan kamoredi ni popol ren ir, me kin tom pena.
18Peacemakers who sow in peace reap the fruit of righteousness.
