Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1Follow after love and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.
1KOMAIL anane limpok, pil inon ion pai nenin akan, a iet me kajampwal re ’rail, kokopada!
2For he who speaks in another language speaks not to men, but to God, for no one understands, but in the Spirit he speaks mysteries.
2Pwe me kin lokaia kida nil en wai, kaidin aramaj akan, me a kin lokaia on, a on Kot, pwe jota amen kin dedeki; ari jo, ni nen o a kin lokaia kida me rir akan.
3But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, exhortation, and consolation.
3A me kin kokop, kin padaki on aramaj akan, pwen kamaui, o panau o kamait ir ala.
4He who speaks in another language edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the assembly.
4A me lokaiaki nil en wai, kin kamaui pein i, a me kin kokop, kin kamaui momodijou.
5Now I desire to have you all speak with other languages, but even more that you would prophesy. For he is greater who prophesies than he who speaks with other languages, unless he interprets, that the assembly may be built up.
5I men, komail karoj en aja lokaia ki nil toror, a mak eta, komail en kokopada, pwe me kin kokopada, me lapa jan me kin kaparok ki nil toror, ma a jo kak kajiriwukila, pwe momodijou en kamaukila.
6But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking with other languages, what would I profit you unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophesying, or of teaching?
6Ari ri ai kan, ma i pwara won komail, ap lokaia ki nil toror, da katepa on komail, ma I jota kaweweda de kajanjaleda, de kokopada, de padak?
7Even lifeless things that make a sound, whether pipe or harp, if they didn’t give a distinction in the sounds, how would it be known what is piped or harped?
7Iduen meakan, me kin lokolokaia ap jota memaur, ma men kwai de arp jota pan nor pajan, ij me pan kak dedeki, da me ira kauleki?
8For if the trumpet gave an uncertain sound, who would prepare himself for war?
8O ma koronete pan popeuk pin, ij me pan onopadan mauin?
9So also you, unless you uttered by the tongue words easy to understand, how would it be known what is spoken? For you would be speaking into the air.
9A iduen komail, ma komail pan lokaia ki nil toror, ap jota kaweweda, ij me pan dedeki? Pwe omail lokaia pan me mal kot.
10There are, it may be, so many kinds of languages in the world, and none of them is without meaning.
10Jon en lokaia toto nan jappa, a jota eu me jo puloi.
11If then I don’t know the meaning of the language, I would be to him who speaks a foreigner, and he who speaks would be a foreigner to me.
11A ma i jaja wewe en lokaia eu, i pan rajon men wai men on me kin kaparok, o me kin kaparok, pan rajon men wai men on ia.
12So also you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, seek that you may abound to the building up of the assembly.
12A pil dueta komail, pwe komail kin anane pai nenin akan, komail ari pil nonki kakairida ni mepukat, pwen kamauie kila momodijou.
13Therefore let him who speaks in another language pray that he may interpret.
13A ma amen lokaia kida nil en wai, i en kapakap ap pil kajiriwukila.
14For if I pray in another language, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.
14Pwe ma i wia kapakap ki lokaia nil en wai eu, nen i kin kapakap ap jota katepa on amen.
15What should I do? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also. I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.
15Ari, da me i pan wia? I pan kapakap ni nen i ap pil pan kapakap ni ai lamelam; i pan kapina ni nen i ap pil kapina ni ai lamelam.
16Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit, how will he who fills the place of the unlearned say the “Amen” at your giving of thanks, seeing he doesn’t know what you say?
16A ma koe pan kapaiada ki nen o, iaduen me jota dedeki pan kak inda amen murin om kapina? Pwe a jaja me koe indinda.
17For you most certainly give thanks well, but the other person is not built up.
17Ei me mau melel om kapikapina, a jota kadepa on me teio.
18I thank my God, I speak with other languages more than you all.
18I kin danke Kot, pweki i kin lokaiaki nil toror jan komail.
19However, in the assembly I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in another language.
19Ari jo nan momodijou i men kida lep in lokaia limau, me pwili jan ai lamelam jan lep in lokaia nen ni nil toror, pwen padaki on me tei kan.
20Brothers, don’t be children in thoughts, yet in malice be babies, but in thoughts be mature.
20Ri ai kan, komail der wiala jeri ni omail lamelam, a ni me jued komail en rajon kijin jeri, a ni omail lamelam komail en unjokela.
21In the law it is written, “By men of strange languages and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people. They won’t even listen to me that way, says the Lord.”
21A intinidier nan kapun: Lokaia o kil en aua toror, me I pan lokaiaki on kainok wet, a re pil jota pan duki on ia, me Kaun o kotin majani.
22Therefore other languages are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to the unbelieving; but prophesying is for a sign, not to the unbelieving, but to those who believe.
22Nan i me lokaia toror mia, pwen kileledi kaidin me pojon akan, a me jopojon akan; a deideikop kaidin on me jopojon akan, pwe on me pojon akan.
23If therefore the whole assembly is assembled together and all speak with other languages, and unlearned or unbelieving people come in, won’t they say that you are crazy?
23A ma momodijou pan pokon pena waja kij, o ma karoj pan lokaia ni nil toror, a ma akai ian me jota dedeki, de akai me jopojon, irail jota pan inda, me komail iakalar?
24But if all prophesy, and someone unbelieving or unlearned comes in, he is reproved by all, and he is judged by all.
24A ma karoj kin kokop, o amen pan pwarado, me jopojon, o me jota dedeki, karoj pan kajanjale on i dip a, o a pan pakajaui ren karoj.
25And thus the secrets of his heart are revealed. So he will fall down on his face and worship God, declaring that God is among you indeed.
25Iduen a me rir akan nan monion i pan janjaleda, o a pan tairokedi ni maj a, kaudoki on Kot, o pan inda, melel Kot kotikot re omail.
26What is it then, brothers? When you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has another language, or has an interpretation. Let all things be done to build each other up.
26Ri ai kan, iaduen komail ni omail pokon pena, kaidin amen amen kin kida pjalm eu? A amen kin kawewe, a amen nil toror, a amen kajanjal eu, a amen kin kajiriwukila; a karoj en wiaui, en kamauiada.
27If any man speaks in another language, let there be two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let one interpret.
27A ma amen pan wia nil en wai, me ta riamen, de ma me toto, re pan jilimen, a irail pan irok wei a amen en kajirawukila.
28But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in the assembly, and let him speak to himself and to God.
28A ma jota men kajiriwuk mia, i en nenenla nan momodijou; a en kajoi on pein i o Kot.
29Let two or three of the prophets speak, and let the others discern.
29A riamen de jilimen ren jaukop akan pan kak kaparok, a me tei kan en kajauiada.
30But if a revelation is made to another sitting by, let the first keep silent.
30A ma amen, ren me momod waja o, pan diar kajanjal eu, men maj ap pan nenenla.
31For you all can prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be exhorted.
31A komail karoj kak kokop, irok weida, pwe karoj en padakki o kamaitala.
32The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets,
32A nen en jaukop akan kin duki on jaukop akan.
33for God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.
33Pwe kaidin komoan me pin men Kot, a en popol duen ni momodijou en jaraui akan karoj.
34Let the wives be quiet in the assemblies, for it has not been permitted for them to be talking except in submission, as the law also says,
34Omail li akan en nenenla nan momodijou kan, pwe a jota muei on irail, en kaparok; a irail en papa, duen kapun me pil majani.
35if they desire to learn anything. “Let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is shameful for a wife to be talking in the assembly.”
35A ma irail men aja okotme, irail en kalelapok ren arail warok kan ni deu ’rail, pwe me kanamenok, li en kaparok nan momodijou.
36What!? Was it from you that the word of God went out? Or did it come to you alone?
36De majan en Kot tapi jan komail? De a ko won komail eta?
37If any man thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him recognize the things which I write to you, that they are the commandment of the Lord.
37A ma amen lamelame, me a jaukop amen, de me a nenin, a en aja wewe en me i intinki won komail, pwe mepukat kujoned en Kaun o.
38But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant.
38A ma amen lolepon, i en lolepon.
39Therefore, brothers, desire earnestly to prophesy, and don’t forbid speaking with other languages.
39Ari ri ai kan en inon ion kokop, o ender kainapwi lokaia nil toror.
40Let all things be done decently and in order.
40A meakaroj en wiaui nin tiak mau o pun.
