Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
Berean Standard Bible
1A PIL kotin majani on tounpadak kan: Ol kapwapwa men mia, me a jaunkoa men indandeki, a peitlakit a koa kapwa kan.
1Jesus also said to His disciples, “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.
2I ari eker don i indan i: Iaduen ai ronadar duen koe? Kaineneta noum kijin likau duen om dodok! Pwe koe jolar kak jaunkoa.
2So he called him in to ask, ‘What is this I hear about you? Turn in an account of your management, for you cannot be manager any longer.’
3Jaunkoa ap madamadaua indada: Da me i en wia, pwe ai monjap pan ki jan ia ai koa, nan I jota kak weweir, a poekipoeki me i namenokki.
3The manager said to himself, ‘What shall I do, now that my master is taking away my position? I am too weak to dig and too ashamed to beg.
4I ap ajada, me i pan wia, i lao japwilidi jan ai koa, pwe irail en kajamo ia Ion on nan im ar akan.
4I know what I will do, so that after my removal from management, people will welcome me into their homes.’
5I ari ekeredo me pwaipwand on a monjap, ap idok ren men maj: Da me om pwaipwand on ai monjap?
5And he called in each one of his master’s debtors. ‘How much do you owe my master?’ he asked the first.
6A inda: Potel en le epuki. A indai on i: Ale noum puk mondi pitipit intiniedi me limeijok!
6‘A hundred measures of olive oil,’ he answered. ‘Take your bill,’ said the manager. ‘Sit down quickly, and write fifty.’
7Ap pil indai on amen: A koe, da me om pwaipwand? A inda: Kopa en wan korn epuki. A indan i: Ale noum puk intiniedi me waleijok!
7Then he asked another, ‘And how much do you owe?’ ‘A hundred measures of wheat,’ he replied. ‘Take your bill and write eighty,’ he told him.
8Monjap ap kapina jaunkoa japun, pweki a dodok lolekon. Pwe jeri en jappa kan me lolekon ni jon ar jan jeri en marain akan.
8The master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly. For the sons of this age are more shrewd in dealing with their own kind than are the sons of light.
9I ap indai on komail, komail wia kompoke pamail ki mamon japun pwe komail lao jama malar, ren kajamolon on nan deu potopot.
9I tell you, use worldly wealth to make friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, they will welcome you into eternal dwellings.
10Meamen apwali mau me tikitik o, nan i me pil kin apwali mau me lapalap. A me kin japun ni me tikitik o, nan i me pil japun ni me toto.
10Whoever is faithful with very little will also be faithful with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.
11Ma komail jota apwali mau ai pali pa, ij me pan liki on omail pai pali poa?
11So if you have not been faithful with worldly wealth, who will entrust you with true riches?
12O ma komail jota apwali mau en amen a kapwa, ij me pan liki on komail me udan omail?
12And if you have not been faithful with the belongings of another, who will give you belongings of your own?
13Jota ladu men me pan kak papa jaumaj riamen; pwe a pan kailonki amen o pok on me teio. De kajampwaleki amen o mama leki me teio. Komail jota pan kak pariai pena Kot o mamon.
13No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”
14Pari jar akan, me kin pok on moni, pil ronadar mepukat, ap kaurureki i.
14The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all of this and were scoffing at Jesus.
15A kotin majani on irail: Nan komail me kin akapunki pein komail ren aramaj, a Kot kin mani nan monion omail. Pwe me kajampwal ren aramaj, kin me mal ren Kot.
15So He said to them, “You are the ones who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is prized among men is detestable before God.
16Kapun o jaukop akan kokoper lel ni muein Ioanej. A jan ni anjau o ronamau en wein Kot kin lolok jili, a karoj kin pedelonki manaman.
16The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John. Since that time, the gospel of the kingdom of God is being preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.
17Nan me monai, lan o jappa pan jorela, jan ekij kijan kapun en lokidokila.
17But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for a single stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law.
18Meamen kajela a paud, ap paudeki amen li, nan i me kamal, o meamen me paudekida me lokidokila jan ren ol amen, nan i me kamal.
18Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
19Ol kapwapwa men mia, me a likau waitata o materok o a kin kamadip o peren ni ran karoj.
19Now there was a rich man dressed in purple and fine linen, who lived each day in joyous splendor.
20O pil amen ol me jamama, ad a Lajaruj, me kin wonon pan wanim en ol kapwapwa o; a kenjela kili karoj.
20And a beggar named Lazarus lay at his gate, covered with sores
21Ap men tunole maremor akan, me kin pupedi ni tepel en me kapwapwa; a kidi kan kin tamotamo a kenj akan.
21and longing to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.
22A kadekadeo me jamama o mela o tounlan kai ap wadala pon kapa en Apraam. A me kapwapwa o pil mela o jaredier.
22One day the beggar died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. And the rich man also died and was buried.
23Ni a mi nan pweleko, wajan waiwairok, ap jarada, udial Apraam ni waja doo o Lajaruj mondi pon kapa,
23In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham from afar, with Lazarus by his side.
24Ap likwirda indada: Jam (ai) Apraam, kom kotin kupura ia, poronedo Lajaruj en kaduedi jondin pa a nan pil, ki on pon lo i, pwe i kin waiwairok nani iai wet.
24So he cried out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue. For I am in agony in this fire.’
25A Apraam kotin majani: Nai, tamanda, me koe tunoler om mau kan karoj ni maur om, a Lajaruj a me jued akan; ari a pan pereperenta, a koe pan kalokolok.
25But Abraham answered, ‘Child, remember that during your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things. But now he is comforted here, while you are in agony.
26A pil eu me kawela, wau kalaimun eu mi nan pun atail, pwe ma amen kit men japale won re omail, a jota pan kak, pil jota amen komail pan kakedo.
26And besides all this, a great chasm has been fixed between us and you, so that even those who wish cannot cross from here to you, nor can anyone cross from there to us.’
27A ap inda: I ap men poeki, jam ai, komui en kotin poronelan Lajaruj nan im en jam ai.
27‘Then I beg you, father,’ he said, ‘send Lazarus to my father’s house,
28Pwe ri ai ol me limen, me a pan kaajaki irail; pwe ren de lel on waja apwal wet!
28for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also end up in this place of torment.’
29A Apraam majani on i: Mojej o jaukop akan mi re ’rail, ren nok ron irail.
29But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; let your brothers listen to them.’
30A ol o potoan on: Kaidin jam (ai) Apraam, a ma amen jan ren me melar akan pan pwara don irail, rap pan kalula.
30‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone is sent to them from the dead, they will repent.’
31A ap majani on i: Ma re jota pan ron Mojej o jaukop akan, re pil jota pan pojon la, ma amen pan maureda jan ren me melar akan.
31Then Abraham said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.’”
