Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
World English Bible
1A ni ran pukat Ioanej jaun paptaij pwarado, padapadahk nan jap en Iudaa,
1In those days, John the Baptizer came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, saying,
2Majani: Komail kalula, pwe wein nanlan korendor.
2“Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!”
3Pwe iei i, me jaukop Iejaia katitiki, majani: Nil en jaunkair amen nan jap tan: Komail kaonopada al en Kaun o, kainenela al a!
3For this is he who was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, make the way of the Lord ready! Make his paths straight!”
4A i Ioanej me a likau wun en kamel o a pirapireki kil in man, a jak a manjiek o oni en nan wel.
4Now John himself wore clothing made of camel’s hair with a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey.
5Toun lerujalem, o toun Iudaa, o toun jap akan liman Iordan ap koieila re a;
5Then people from Jerusalem, all of Judea, and all the region around the Jordan went out to him.
6O irail paptaijela re a nan Iordan, ni ar weokada dip arail akan.
6They were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.
7A lao majanier Parijar o Jadu jar me toto ko don a paptaij, ap majani on irail: Dakot wan oter komail! Ij me padaki on komailer, en piti jan ni kamekam me kokodo?
7But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for his baptism, he said to them, “You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8Ari, komail kapwareda wan kalula mau!
8Therefore produce fruit worthy of repentance!
9A komail depa lamelame, me komail pan indan pein komail: Nan Apraam jam atail. Pwe i indai on komail, me Kot kotin kak on wiaki on Apraam na jeri kai takai pukat.
9Don’t think to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham for our father,’ for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.
10Jile o mier ni tapin tuka kan; a tuka karoj me jo wa mau, pan paledi o lokidokila nani iai.
10Even now the ax lies at the root of the trees. Therefore every tree that doesn’t produce good fruit is cut down, and cast into the fire.
11Melel, i paptaij kin komail pil on kalula, a me kotido muri, nan me laude jan ia, nai jowar on, en wa japwilim a jut; i me pan paptaij kin komail Nen jaraui o kijiniai.
11“I indeed baptize you in water for repentance, but he who comes after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit.
12Japwilim a tanir mi ni lim a; a pan kotin koko melel japwilim a pera, ap nekid pena japwilim a wan korn nan im en nak, a dip akan a pan kotin karon kila kijiniai joutuk.
12His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor. He will gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.”
13Iejuj ap kotido jan Kalilaa, koti don Iordan ren Ioanej, pwen paptaijela re a.
13Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him.
14A Ioanej kotin kan, ap potoan on: Mak eta i en paptaijela re ir, a iaduen ir me kotido re i?
14But John would have hindered him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and you come to me?”
15A Iejuj kotin japen majani on i: Wiada maj, pwe me kon on kita, kapwuiada pun kan karoj; a ah duki on i.
15But Jesus, answering, said to him, “Allow it now, for this is the fitting way for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed him.
16Iejuj Iao paptaijelar, ap kotin madanada ja n nan pil o. A kilan, nanlan ap ritidan i, I ari kotin majani Nen en Kot kotidido ni mom en mwuroi men a kaipokedi po a.
16Jesus, when he was baptized, went up directly from the water: and behold, the heavens were opened to him. He saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming on him.
17O kilan, nil eu jan nanlan majani: Iet nai nl kompok, me I kin polaule kida!
17Behold, a voice out of the heavens said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”
