Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
World English Bible
1A PIL kotin majani on tounpadak kan: Ol kapwapwa men mia, me a jaunkoa men indandeki, a peitlakit a koa kapwa kan.
1He also said to his disciples, “There was a certain rich man who had a manager. An accusation was made to him that this man was 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.
2He called him, and said to him, ‘What is this that I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management, for you can no longer be manager.’
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.
3“The manager said within himself, ‘What will I do, seeing that my lord is taking away the management position from me? I don’t have strength to dig. I am 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 when I am removed from management, they may receive me into their houses.’
5I ari ekeredo me pwaipwand on a monjap, ap idok ren men maj: Da me om pwaipwand on ai monjap?
5Calling each one of his lord’s debtors to him, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe to my lord?’
6A inda: Potel en le epuki. A indai on i: Ale noum puk mondi pitipit intiniedi me limeijok!
6He said, ‘A hundred batos of oil.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and 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 said to another, ‘How much do you owe?’ He said, ‘A hundred cors of wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and write eighty.’
8Monjap ap kapina jaunkoa japun, pweki a dodok lolekon. Pwe jeri en jappa kan me lolekon ni jon ar jan jeri en marain akan.
8“His lord commended the dishonest manager because he had done wisely, for the children of this world are, in their own generation, wiser than the children of the 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, make for yourselves friends by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when you fail, they may receive you into the eternal tents.
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.
10He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much. He who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.
11Ma komail jota apwali mau ai pali pa, ij me pan liki on omail pai pali poa?
11If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
12O ma komail jota apwali mau en amen a kapwa, ij me pan liki on komail me udan omail?
12If you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is 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, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will hold to one and despise the other. You aren’t able to serve God and Mammon.”
14Pari jar akan, me kin pok on moni, pil ronadar mepukat, ap kaurureki i.
14The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.
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.
15He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. For that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of 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.
16“The law and the prophets were until John. From that time the Good News of God’s Kingdom is 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 one tiny stroke of a pen in the law to fall.
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.
18“Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery. He who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits adultery.
19Ol kapwapwa men mia, me a likau waitata o materok o a kin kamadip o peren ni ran karoj.
19“Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day.
20O pil amen ol me jamama, ad a Lajaruj, me kin wonon pan wanim en ol kapwapwa o; a kenjela kili karoj.
20A certain beggar, named Lazarus, was taken to his gate, full of sores,
21Ap men tunole maremor akan, me kin pupedi ni tepel en me kapwapwa; a kidi kan kin tamotamo a kenj akan.
21and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Yes, 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.
22The beggar died, and he was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. 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, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at his bosom.
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.
24He cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue! For I am in anguish in this flame.’
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.
25“But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and Lazarus, in the same way, bad things. But here he is now comforted and you are in anguish.
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.
26Besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that those who want to pass from here to you are not able, and that no one may cross over from there to us.’
27A ap inda: I ap men poeki, jam ai, komui en kotin poronelan Lajaruj nan im en jam ai.
27“He said, ‘I ask you therefore, father, that you would send him 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—that he may testify to them, so they won’t also come into this place of torment.’
29A Apraam majani on i: Mojej o jaukop akan mi re ’rail, ren nok ron irail.
29“But Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets. Let them 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“He said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if one goes 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.
31“He said to him, ‘If they don’t listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one rises from the dead.’”
