Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1He came to Derbe and Lystra; and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess who believed, but his father was a Greek.
1PAULUJ ari kotilan Derpe o Lijtra. A kilan tounpadak amen mi waja o, me ad a Timoteuj, nain li en Juj me pojon amen, a jam a men Krik.
2The brothers who were at Lystra and Iconium gave a good testimony about him.
2Nan i kalok mau jili ren jaulan en Lijtra o Ikonien akan.
3Paul wanted to have him go out with him, and he took and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
3Pauluj kotin men, i en waroki on i. I ari uk i o jirkomjaij i, pweki Juj oko, me mi waja o, pwe irail ajaer, me jam a men Krik amen.
4As they went on their way through the cities, they delivered the decrees to them to keep which had been ordained by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem.
4A ni arail kotikot jili nan kanim akan, re padaki on irail me ren kapwaiada kujoned oko, me wiauier ren wanporon o jaunkoa kan nan Ierujalem.
5So the assemblies were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.
5Momodijou kan ari kelailada ni pojon o re totolar ni ran karoj.
6When they had gone through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.
6A Nen jaraui kotin inapwiedi, me ren der padak duen majan nan Ajien, re ap kakan jili Prikien o Kalatien.
7When they had come opposite Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit didn’t allow them.
7Irail lao pwara don Mijien, re jon daulul wei on Pitinien, a Nen en Iejuj jota kotin mueid on.
8Passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
8Irail lao daulul lar Mijien, ap kodilan Troaj.
9A vision appeared to Paul in the night. There was a man of Macedonia standing, begging him and saying, “Come over into Macedonia and help us.”
9A kajanjal eu pwara don Pauluj ni pon: Ol en Majetonien amen me uda, poekipoeki i indada: Kom koti don Majetonien, jauaja kit!
10When he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go out to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the Good News to them.
10A lao udialer kajanjal o, kit madan kolan Majetonien, pwe je ajaer, me Kaun o kotin molipe kit, en kolan padaki on irail ronamau.
11Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;
11Kit ari majel wei jan Troaj o inen won Jamotrajien, a manda lel on Neapolij,
12and from there to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the foremost of the district, a Roman colony. We were staying some days in this city.
12O jan waja o lel Pilipi, kanim lapalap ni apali en Majetonien, me kijan jap en men Rom. Kit ari mimieta nan kanim o ran akai.
13On the Sabbath day we went outside of the city by a riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, and we sat down and spoke to the women who had come together.
13Ni ran en japat je koiei jan kanim o, kolan pon pilap pot, waja re kin kapakap ia. Kit ari mondi o kawewe on li akai, me kin pokopokon waja o.
14A certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one who worshiped God, heard us. The Lord opened her heart to listen to the things which were spoken by Paul.
14A li amen ad a Lidia, men jaunet en likau waitata, men Tiatira amen, me kin kaudok on Kot. Nan i me roneron kit. A Kaun o kotin ritinada monion i, pwen apapwali meakan, me Pauluj majanier.
15When she and her household were baptized, she begged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and stay.” So she persuaded us.
15I o a penainai lao paptaijelar, ap poeki re at indada: Ma komail kajau ia da, me i pojonlar Kaun o, komail pan pedelon on nan im ai o kotikot ia; i ari nidinide kin kit.
16As we were going to prayer, a certain girl having a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much gain by fortune telling.
16Kadekadeo ni at kolan kapakap lidu amen, me kin wun ani, ap tu on kit, me kin kare on moni toto ren a jaumaj kan ki a wun ani.
17Following Paul and us, she cried out, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us a way of salvation!”
17I me idauen Pauluj o kit weriwer indada: Aramaj pukat me japwilim en Kot lapalap ladu ko, me kin padaki on komail duen al en maur.
18She was doing this for many days. But Paul, becoming greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!” It came out that very hour.
18A mepukat a wiadar ran toto. A Pauluj kupurola kaualap ap kotin jaupeila majani on nen o: Ni mar en Iejuj Krijtuj me i indai on uk, keredi jan i! I ap keredi jan ni auer ota.
19But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers.
19A jaumaj akan lao diarada, me jolar kaporopor en ar men wiaki moni, ap jaikidi Pauluj o Jilaj, wai ira Ion don wajan net ron jaumaj akan.
20When they had brought them to the magistrates, they said, “These men, being Jews, are agitating our city
20O kalua ira wei ren jaun kapun kan katitiki: Aramaj pukat kijan men Juj kin kaokaoe atail kanim,
21and advocate customs which it is not lawful for us to accept or to observe, being Romans.”
21O padapadaki tiak me jota pun je en ale de wiada, pwe Kit nil men Rom.
22The multitude rose up together against them and the magistrates tore their clothes from them, then commanded them to be beaten with rods.
22Aramaj karoj ap uda por on ira, o jaunkapun ko dere jan ara likau kan o kapi, ren woki ira.
23When they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely.
23Irail wokiwoki ira pan pak toto, rap kaje ira di nan imaten o kapiedi jilepa o, en kateneten ira di.
24Having received such a command, he threw them into the inner prison and secured their feet in the stocks.
24A lao aleer kujoned wet ap kaje ira di on nan waron, en imaten o jaliedi aluwilu ’ra nin tuka kai.
25But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.
25A lao ni ailep en pon Pauluj o Jilaj kapakap o melkaka mi Kot, o me jalidi ko roneron Ira,
26Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone’s bonds were loosened.
26A jap o madan rerereda, kajukajuk en imaten mokidedar, wanim ko ap madan ritida o ar jal akan karoj lapwadar.
27The jailer, being roused out of sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.
27A jilepan imaten lao pirida jan a mair o kilan wanim ko ar ritidar, ap napekida a kodlaj o, a pan kamela pein i, pwe a kiki on, me jalidi ko me pitila.
28But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, “Don’t harm yourself, for we are all here!”
28A Pauluj kapitie laudeda majani: Kom der kame uk ala, pwe kit karoj mia.
29He called for lights, sprang in, fell down trembling before Paul and Silas,
29A ap idok lamp eu o tan rerer o dairukedi jan Pauluj n Jilaj.
30brought them out, and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
30O wa ira wei jan indada: Main ko, da me i en wiada, pwen kamaurla?
31They said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”
31Ira ap majani: Pojon Kaun Iejuj, a koe o toun im om pan maurola.
32They spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all who were in his house.
32Ira ari kawewe on i o toun im a karoj majan en Kaun o.
33He took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes, and was immediately baptized, he and all his household.
33I ari uk ira ni auer ota 11 i pon o, widen ara pwal oko. I o na kan karoj ap madan paptaij elar.
34He brought them up into his house and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly with all his household, having believed in God.
34I ap kalua won ira nan im a, ap kida mo ’ra kijin mana, o peren kidar a pojonla Kot, i o ian a kan.
35But when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, “Let those men go.”
35A lao ran pajan, jaupeidi ko poronela papa ko indada: Lapwada aramaj pukat!
36The jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, “The magistrates have sent to let you go; now therefore come out and go in peace.”
36Jilepan imaten o ap kaireki Pauluj majan pukat indada: Jaupeidi ko me ilakido, koma en lapwada. Koma ari kotila popol.
37But Paul said to them, “They have beaten us publicly without a trial, men who are Romans, and have cast us into prison! Do they now release us secretly? No, most certainly, but let them come themselves and bring us out!”
37A Pauluj kotin majani on irail: Irail janjal kadeike kit adar o woki kit men Rom, ap kaje kit ale nan imaten, a met re men kadar kit ala jo janjal. A jo, irail en pein kodo, wa kit wei.
38The sergeants reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans,
38A papa ko kaireki jaupeidi kan majan pukat. Irail ap majakadar ni ar ronadar, me ira men Rom.
39and they came and begged them. When they had brought them out, they asked them to depart from the city.
39Irail ari kodo, poeki re ’ra o wa ira la jan, o nidinideki ira, en japal wei jan nan kanim o.
40They went out of the prison and entered into Lydia’s house. When they had seen the brothers, they encouraged them, then departed.
40Ira ari pedoido jan nan imaten o, ap kotila ren Lidia. Ira lao tu on jaulan kan, ap panaui irail o jipale wei.
