Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1Some men came down from Judea and taught the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised after the custom of Moses, you can’t be saved.”
1A AKAI me kodido jan Iudaa, ap padaki on jaulan kan: Ma komail jota jirkomjaij duen tiak en Mojej, komail jota pan kak maurela.
2Therefore when Paul and Barnabas had no small discord and discussion with them, they appointed Paul, Barnabas, and some others of them to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders about this question.
2A irail lao liak toror pajan o akakamai on Pauluj o Parnapaj, re ap inauki pena, me Pauluj o Parnapaj, o pil akai irail en kotidalan Ierujalem ren wanporon o jaunkoa kan pweki mepukat.
3They, being sent on their way by the assembly, passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles. They caused great joy to all the brothers.
3Momodijou ap likid ir wei lao ekij waja. Irail ap weweid nan Ponijien o Jamaria o kajokajoiada duen en men liki ar wukila. Irail ari kaperenda melel jaulan kan karoj.
4When they had come to Jerusalem, they were received by the assembly and the apostles and the elders, and they reported everything that God had done with them.
4Irail lao lel Ierujalem, momodijou o wanporon, o jaunkoa kan ap kajamo ir. Irail ap katitiki meakan, me Kot kotin wiaki irail er.
5But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, “It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.”
5A akai kijan pwin en Parijar, me jaulanalar, me uda indada: Me pun, en jirkomjaij ir ala, o kapi on irail, en wiawia kapun en Mojej.
6The apostles and the elders were gathered together to see about this matter.
6A wanporon o jaunkoa kan pokon pena, pwen kaparok duen met.
7When there had been much discussion, Peter rose up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that a good while ago God made a choice among you that by my mouth the nations should hear the word of the Good News and believe.
7Irail lao kapukapun pena warailar, Petruj ap kotida majani on irail: Ri ai kan, komail aja, me maj o Kot kotin pil ia dar jan nan pun omail, pwe men liki kan en rona jan nan au ai majan en ronamau o pojonla.
8God, who knows the heart, testified about them, giving them the Holy Spirit, just like he did to us.
8A Kot me kotin ereki monion en aramaj, kotin kadede irail o kotiki on irail Nen jaraui dueta kitail,
9He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.
9O a jota kotin wiada irair eu nan pun en kitail o irail ni a kotin kamakel monion arail ki pojon.
10Now therefore why do you tempt God, that you should put a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
10Ari, da me komail kajonejonki Kot, en kidan pon pop en tounpadak kan lopu eu, me jam atail akan o pil kitail jota kak wa.
11But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they are.”
11A kitail kin kamekamelele, me kitail pan kamaureki mak en Kaun Iejuj Krijtuj dueta irail kai.
12All the multitude kept silence, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul reporting what signs and wonders God had done among the nations through them.
12A pokon o nenenlata o roneron en Parnapaj i Pauluj ara katiti duen manaman oko o kilel kai, me Kot kotin wia kidar lim ara nan pun en men liki kan.
13After they were silent, James answered, “Brothers, listen to me.
13Irail lao nenenlar, Iakopuj ap kaparok majanida: Ri ai kan komail ron ia!
14Simeon has reported how God first visited the nations to take out of them a people for his name.
14Jimon me kajoiada duen en Kot a kotin pwara don men liki kan ni tapi o pwen pili jan irail kainok eu on mar a.
15This agrees with the words of the prophets. As it is written,
15Pwe iduen majan en jaukop akan duen a intinidi:
16‘After these things I will return. I will again build the tabernacle of David, which has fallen. I will again build its ruins. I will set it up
16Murin mepukat I pan puredo o kawiliakapada im en Dawid, me ronki pajaner, o pur on kauada waja me olar.
17that the rest of men may seek after the Lord: all the Gentiles who are called by my name, says the Lord, who does all these things.’
17Pwe luan aramaj akan en raparapaki Kaun o, pil men liki kan, me wan ad ai, iei me Kaun o majaniadar, me kin kotin wiawia.
18“All of God’s works are known to him from eternity.
18Mepukat me lolok jan ni tapi o.
19Therefore my judgment is that we don’t trouble those from among the Gentiles who turn to God,
19Ari iet me i kajauiada, kitail ender katoutoui irail me wuki on Kot jan ren men liki kan.
20but that we write to them that they abstain from the pollution of idols, from sexual immorality, from what is strangled, and from blood.
20A jen intine won irail, ren liki jan kajaut en kot mal akan, o nenek, o man mopelar akan, o nta.
21For Moses from generations of old has in every city those who preach him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”
21Pwe jan maj kokodo jaun kawewe en Mojej kin mi nan kanim karoj, pwe re kin padapadak duen i nan jinakoke kan ni ran en japat akan karoj.
22Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, to choose men out of their company, and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas: Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, chief men among the brothers.
22Wanporon o jaunkoa kan, o momodijou ap maukidar, en pilada ol akai jan ar pokon o porone ira wei ian Pauluj i Parnapaj, en kotila Antiokien: Iudaj, me pil ad a Parnapaj o Jilaj, ol pukat, me kaun pan jaulan kan.
23They wrote these things by their hand: “The apostles, the elders, and the brothers, to the brothers who are of the Gentiles in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia: greetings.
23A iet eten, me re intiniedier ap kadar won irail: let kit wanporon o jaunkoa kan o jaulan kan kadar won komail, ri at akan, me ko jan ren men liki kan nan Antiokien, o Jirien, o Jijilia at ranamau.
24Because we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, saying, ‘You must be circumcised and keep the law,’ to whom we gave no commandment;
24Aki at roner, me akai, me koiei jan re at, kin kaponepone kin nen omail ar padak kan ni ar kajapune komail lar indada: Komail en jirkomjaij o kapwaiada kapun o; a je jota ki on irail kujoned akan.
25it seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose out men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
25Kit ap wiaki eu ni at maukidar en piladar ol akai, ap kadar won komail ianaki kompoke pat Parnapaj o Pauluj.
26men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
26Ol oko me tonmeteki maur ara on mar en Kaun Iejuj K rijtui.
27We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves will also tell you the same things by word of mouth.
27Kit ari kadar wei Iudaj o Jilaj, me pil pan kajoi on komail mepukat.
28For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay no greater burden on you than these necessary things:
28Pwe Nen jaraui o kit kin kupukupura, me mau, je ender ki on komail eu lopu; mepukat eta me kajampwal:
29that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality, from which if you keep yourselves, it will be well with you. Farewell.”
29Komail liki jan uduk, me mairon on kot likam, o nta, o man mopelar, o nenek. Ma komail liki jan mepukat, nan komail kin wiawia me mau. Ran kajelel!
30So, when they were sent off, they came to Antioch. Having gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter.
30Irail lao pakadarala, ap kotilan Antiokien, re ap kapokon ir pena, ki on irail kijin likau o.
31When they had read it, they rejoiced over the encouragement.
31Irail lao wadoker, ap peren kidar kamait parail.
32Judas and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged the brothers with many words and strengthened them.
32A Iudaj i Jilaj, me pil jaukop oko panaui kin jaulan kan kajoi toto o pil katinai ir ada.
33After they had spent some time there, they were dismissed in peace from the brothers to the apostles.
33Irail mi waja o lao ran akai, ap pakadarala popol jan ren jaulan kan, pwe ren kola ren me kadar ira ala.
35But Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
35A Pauluj i Parnapaj kotikoteta Antiokien, kawewedar o padapadaki majan en Kaun o. o me toto pil ian.
36After some days Paul said to Barnabas, “Let’s return now and visit our brothers in every city in which we proclaimed the word of the Lord, to see how they are doing.”
36Kadekadeo murin ran akai Pauluj majani on. Parnapaj: Kita pan purela ren jaulan kan, me mi kanim akan, waja kita padakier duen majan en Kaun o, o kalekalelapok due ’rail.
37Barnabas planned to take John, who was called Mark, with them also.
37A Parnapaj men ukada Ioanej, me pil ad a Markuj.
38But Paul didn’t think that it was a good idea to take with them someone who had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia, and didn’t go with them to do the work.
38A Pauluj kupura, me a jota mau, ira en ukada i, me muei jan ira nan Pampilien o jolar ian ira kolan dodok.
39Then the contention grew so sharp that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus,
39Ira ari akamai pena lao ira muei pajan. Parnapaj ari ukada Markuj tana won Jipern.
40but Paul chose Silas and went out, being commended by the brothers to the grace of God.
40Pauluj piladar Jilaj ap kotila. A jaulan kan mueidela ira ni mak en Kot.
41He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the assemblies.
41I ari kakan jili nan Jirien o Jilijia katinada momodijou kan.
