Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1Are we beginning again to commend ourselves? Or do we need, as do some, letters of commendation to you or from you?
1A IADUEN kit pil kaindan deki pein kit? De nai me mau on kijin likau en kapin on komail de jan komail?
2You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men,
2At kijin likau komail, me intinidi on nan monion it, me aramaj akan karoj kin aja o wadok.
3being revealed that you are a letter of Christ, served by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tablets of stone, but in tablets that are hearts of flesh.
3Pwe komail janjaleda, me komail kijin likau en Krijtuj, me wiauier re at ni at papa, me kaidin intinidier ki ink, a Nen en Kot ieiaj; pil kaidin pon jlet takai, pwe jlet uduken en monion akan.
4Such confidence we have through Christ toward God,
4lel atail kaporoporeki Krijtuj mon Kot.
5not that we are sufficient of ourselves to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God,
5Pwe kaidin udan at koiok, me je kak lamelameki meakot, me tapi jan pein kit, pwe at koiok tapi jan ren Kot,
6who also made us sufficient as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
6Me pil kotin kaiane kin kit, en papa en inau kap kaidin inau, me intinidier, a inau en nen. Pwe intin kin kamela, a nen kin kotin kamaureda.
7But if the service of death, written engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the children of Israel could not look steadfastly on the face of Moses for the glory of his face, which was passing away,
7A ma dodok en mela, me intinidier nan pali en takai, me linan, pwe jeri en Ijrael akan jota kak kilan jilan en Mojej, pweki linan en jilan i, a linan wet eu, me pan joredi,
8won’t service of the Spirit be with much more glory?
8Daduen, dodok en nen a jota pan linan jikida jan?
9For if the service of condemnation has glory, the service of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.
9Ari, ma dodok en kadeik o me linan, nan melel kaualap, dodok en pun me lman melel.
10For most certainly that which has been made glorious has not been made glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory that surpasses.
10Pwe men moa me kalinanadar jota kak paroki on linan wet.
11For if that which passes away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.
11A ma linan mia ren me pan jorela, iaduen wan linan en me pan mimieta!
12Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech,
12Ni at kaporoporeki mepukat, kit kin aima melel.
13and not as Moses, who put a veil on his face so that the children of Israel wouldn’t look steadfastly on the end of that which was passing away.
13O kaidin dueta Mojej, me pera kila likau eu jilan i, pwe jeri en Ijrael akan ender kilan imwi en me pan nikila.
14But their minds were hardened, for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains, because in Christ it passes away.
14A monion arail me kapitakailar. Pwe lao lel ran wet pera o mimieta anjaun ar wadawadok inau marin; ari, pera o me jaroka janer ren Krijtuj.
15But to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.
15A lao lel ran wet ni arail wadawadok Mojej, pera mimieta mon monion arail.
16But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
16A ma re pan wuki on Kaun o, pera o pan jaroka jan.
17Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
17Kaun o iei Nen, a waja me Nen en Kaun kotikot ia, nan i wajan maio.
18But we all, with unveiled face seeing the glory of the Lord as in a mirror, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.
18A kitail karoj, me maj atail jo perapa, kin ududial linan en Kaun o, ap wuki on ni mom ota o kakairida ni linan pweki Kaun iei Nen.
