Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1Finally then, brothers, we beg and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, that you abound more and more.
1ARI, ri ai kan, je pil poeki re omail o panaui kin komail Kaun Iejuj, duen me komail aleer jan kit, o duen me komail en kekeideki wei, o kaperenda Kot, iduen omail kakairida.
2For you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus.
2Pwe komail aja duen kujoned akan, me je pan on komail ren Kaun Iejuj.
3For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality,
3Pwe iet kupur en Kot, omail jarauila, pwe komail en liki jan nenek.
4that each one of you know how to control his own body in sanctification and honor,
4Amen amen en kanai on pein war a, pwen jaraui o wau o liki jan inon jued,
5not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don’t know God,
5Kaidin ni dender on inon jued duen men liki kan, me jo aja Kot;
6that no one should take advantage of and wrong a brother or sister in this matter; because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as also we forewarned you and testified.
6O jota me pan piti de kajapuni on ri a ni meakot, pwe Kaun o pan kotin iki on i, duen me kit inda o kadede on komail er maj o.
7For God called us not for uncleanness, but in sanctification.
7Pwe Kot jota molipei kitail on jamin, a pwen jaraui.
8Therefore he who rejects this doesn’t reject man, but God, who has also given his Holy Spirit to you.
8A ma amen komail pan mamaleki mepukat, kaidin aramaj me a pan mamaleki pwe Kot, me pil kotiki on komail er japwilim a Nen jaraui.
9But concerning brotherly love, you have no need that one write to you. For you yourselves are taught by God to love one another,
9A duen limpok en jaulan, menda i en intinki won komail, pwe pein komail padakki jan ren Kot, me komail en pokepena.
10for indeed you do it toward all the brothers who are in all Macedonia. But we exhort you, brothers, that you abound more and more;
10Nan met komail kin wiai on jaulan karoj, me mimi Majetonien pon. A je panaui kin komail ri at akan, komail en kakairida.
11and that you make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, even as we instructed you,
11O komail nenenla o inon ion apwali pein omail dodok, kadokeki pein pa omail, duen me je padaki on komail er,
12that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and may have need of nothing.
12Pwe komail en janjal mau mon me mi liki kan, o komail der mau on amen en apwali komail.
13But we don’t want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those who have fallen asleep, so that you don’t grieve like the rest, who have no hope.
13Ri ai kan, je jota men oki jan komail duen me mairelar akan, pwe komail der injenjued dueta irail, me jota ar kaporopor.
14For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.
14Pwe ma kitail kamelele, me Iejuj matala ap iajadar, nan iduen me mairelar ren Iejuj, Kot pil pan kalua ir ala re a.
15For this we tell you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will in no way precede those who have fallen asleep.
15Pwe ieteten me je indan komail ni majan en Kaun o, kit me memaureta lao Kaun o pan kotin pwarado, jota pan ko wei mon me mair akan.
16For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with God’s trumpet. The dead in Christ will rise first,
16Pwe pein Kaun o pan kotido jan nanlan ki majan laud, o kapiti en toulan lapalap amen, o koronete en Kot; me melar akan ren Krijtuj ap pan maureda maj.
17then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. So we will be with the Lord forever.
17Kit me memaureta luadi ap pan ian ir peukadala nan dapok kan, ko on ren Kaun o nan wawa, kitail ap pan mimieta ren Kaun o kokolata.
18Therefore comfort one another with these words.
18Komail ari kamaiteki komail la padak pot et.
