Iakopuj 4
Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
World English Bible
1IA waja akamai o pei nan pun omail kin tapi jan ia? Kaidin jan nan omail inon jued akan, me kin pepei nan omail kokon akan.
1Where do wars and fightings among you come from? Don’t they come from your pleasures that war in your members?
2Komail kin inon ion, ap jota aneki, komail kin kamela o kailonki, ap jota me komail pan ale; komail kin akamai o mauin. A jota omail meakot, pwe komail jota omail meakot, pwe komail jota kin poeki.
2You lust, and don’t have. You murder and covet, and can’t obtain. You fight and make war. You don’t have, because you don’t ask.
3Komail kin poeki, ap jota pwaida, pwe komail kin poeki japun, pwe komail kin poeki japun, pwe komail kin kapwaida kida omail inon jued akan.
3You ask, and don’t receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures.
4Komail kamal akan, komail jota aja me waroki on jappa et, kin imwintiti on Kot? Ari meamen, me men kompoke pan jappa, nan i imwintiti en Kot amen.
4You adulterers and adulteresses, don’t you know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
5De komail kiki on, me puk jaraui majani mal: Nen o me kotikot lol omail, kin inon ion o nantion dodok on Kot.
5Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who lives in us yearns jealously”?
6A meid laud a mak on kitail. I me a kotin majanieki: Kot kin kotin palian me aklapalap, ap mak on me opampap.
6But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
7Komail ari duki on Kot a palian tewil, a ap pan tan wei jan komail.
7Be subject therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
8Kakondak monion on Kot, a ap pan kupukupera komail, kamakelekel pa omail, komail me dipan; o kaminela monion omial, komail me lol riapot.
8Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners. Purify your hearts, you double-minded.
9Kainjinom, o maiei, o janejan; omail kaukaurur en wuki on me mauk, o omail peren on injenjued.
9Lament, mourn, and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom.
10Akitikitik ki pein komail mon Kaun o, a ap pan kjapwil komail da.
10Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you.
11Ri ai ko komail de lokaia jued nan pun omail. Pwe me kin lokaia jued duen ri a, de kadeikada ri a, a kin lokaia jued on kapun o kin kadeikada kapun o, A ma koe kadeikada kapun, pwe jaunkapun amen koe.
11Don’t speak against one another, brothers. He who speaks against a brother and judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge.
12Amen ta jaunkapun o jaunkadeik, me kak on kamaurela o kariala. A ij koe, me kin kadeikada men im pa?
12Only one is the lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge another?
13Iet pil eu, komail me kin inda: Ran wet de lakap je pan kolan kanim wet o kaujon waja o par eu, o netinet ap kapwapwala.
13Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow let’s go into this city and spend a year there, trade, and make a profit.”
14A komail kin jaja, da me pan wiaui lakap, pwe da omail maur? Pwe komail kin raj on tokoi, me kin mi anjau kij, ap mokonaidi.
14Yet you don’t know what your life will be like tomorrow. For what is your life? For you are a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.
15Mak eta komail en inda: Ma Kaun o kotin kupura, o ma kitail memaureta, kitail pan wiada met de mo.
15For you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will both live, and do this or that.”
16A jo, komail kin perenki omail jujuai, nan jujuai due met me jued.
16But now you glory in your boasting. All such boasting is evil.
17Ari, melel ta, meamen me lelapok ki me mau, ap jota wia, nan i me dip on i.
17To him therefore who knows to do good and doesn’t do it, to him it is sin.
