Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1Therefore when we couldn’t stand it any longer, we thought it good to be left behind at Athens alone,
1I ME je jolar kak nenen la, pwe je maukida kelepala nan Aten,
2and sent Timothy, our brother and God’s servant in the Good News of Christ, to establish you and to comfort you concerning your faith,
2Ap kadar won komail Timoteuj ri atail o papan Kot ni ronamau en Krijtuj, pwen katene komail o kamait komail la iran omail pojon.
3that no one would be moved by these afflictions. For you know that we are appointed to this task.
3Pwe jota amen en luet kila kamekam wet, pwe pein komail aja, mepukat kiloledier on kitail.
4For most certainly, when we were with you, we told you beforehand that we are to suffer affliction, even as it happened, and you know.
4Pwe ni at mimi re omail, je kokopki don komail kamekam; duen me komail aja.
5For this cause I also, when I couldn’t stand it any longer, sent that I might know your faith, for fear that by any means the tempter had tempted you, and our labor would have been in vain.
5I me I jolar kak nenenla, a i ilakila, pwe i en aja, duen omail pojon, ma men kajonejon jo kajonejon komail, a ma at dodok jota pan dodok mal.
6But Timothy has just now come to us from you, and brought us glad news of your faith and love, and that you have good memories of us always, longing to see us, even as we also long to see you.
6A metet no en Timoteuj pwara don kin jan re omail, o padaki on kit ron mau duen omail pojon o limpok, o duen omail tamataman kit anjau karoj, o duen komail men kilan kit, I dueta kit kin inon ion kilan komail.
7For this cause, brothers, we were comforted over you in all our distress and affliction through your faith.
7Ri ai kan, kit ap kamait kilar komail ni at kamekam o apwal akan ki omail pojon.
8For now we live, if you stand fast in the Lord.
8Pwe anjau wet kit maureda, ma komail poden tenedi on Kaun o.
9For what thanksgiving can we give again to God for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sakes before our God,
9Pwe ia danke me jen dankeki Kot pweki komail, me pan raj on peren, me je peren kida mon Kot ki komail?
10night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face and may perfect that which is lacking in your faith?
10Je kin poden kapakapa kin komail ni pon ni ran o nidinidiki, jen kilan maj omail o kaunjokala omail pojon.
11Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you.
11Ari, pein Kot, o Jam atail, o atail Kaun Iejuj en kotin kalua kit won komail.
12May the Lord make you to increase and abound in love toward one another and toward all men, even as we also do toward you,
12A Kaun o en kotin kanedere komail la o kalaudela omail limpok nan pun omail o on amen amen dueta kit on komail.
13to the end he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.
13O kotin kateneten monion omail pwen mau melel, ni jaraui mon Kot o Jam atail on ni ran en atail Kaun Iejuj, me pan kotido o japwilim a jaraui kan karoj ian i.
