Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1After these things Paul departed from Athens and came to Corinth.
1MURIN mepukat a kotila jan Aten o kotilan Korint,
2He found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome. He came to them,
2A lao diaradar Juj amen me ad a Akwila me ipwidier Pontuj, me apton kodo jan Italien o a paud Prijila, aki Klaudiuj majani, me Juj oko karoj en kokoke jan Rom, i ari kotilan re ’ra.
3and because he practiced the same trade, he lived with them and worked, for by trade they were tent makers.
3O kotikot re ’ra, ian dodok, pwe ira jon ta ieu wiada im likau.
4He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath and persuaded Jews and Greeks.
4O ni ran en japat karoj a kin kotin padapadak nan jinakoke o kalekalolekone men Juj o men Krik kan.
5When Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.
5A Jilaj o Timoteuj lao kodido jan Majetonien, Pauluj kotin jopijokki kaualap padak o, pwe a kadede on Juj akan, me Iejuj me Krijtuj.
6When they opposed him and blasphemed, he shook out his clothing and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am clean. From now on, I will go to the Gentiles!”
6A irail lao akamai o lalaue, a ap jipededi japwilim a likau majani on irail: Dip omail en kapokon on pein komail. Nai me makelekel jan met, i pan kola ren men liki kan.
7He departed there and went into the house of a certain man named Justus, one who worshiped God, whose house was next door to the synagogue.
7I ari kotila jan waja o ap kotilan nan im en amen me ad a Jujt me kin kaudok on Kot, me im a pat on jinakoke.
8Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house. Many of the Corinthians, when they heard, believed and were baptized.
8A Krijpuj, jaumaj en jinakoke pojonla Kaun o, ianaki karoj toun im a; toun Korint me toto lao ronada, ap pojonla o paptaijela.
9The Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, “Don’t be afraid, but speak and don’t be silent;
9Kaun o ap kotin majani on Pauluj ni a auramen ni pon: Der majak, padapadak ender nenenla!
10for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many people in this city.”
10Pwe Nai ian uk, o jota me pan jair uk, pwen kame uk, pwe nai aramaj me toto nan kanim wet.
11He lived there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
11I ari kotikot waja o par eu o jaunipon wonu kaweweda majan en Kot nan pun arail.
12But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat,
12Ni muein Kalion kakaundar Akaia, Juj akan ap wiaki eu, jaikidi Pauluj o wa don i mon mol en kadeik o,
13saying, “This man persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.”
13Indada: Lap men et kin pitipiti aramaj, ren kaudok on Kot ap palian kapun.
14But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked crime, you Jews, it would be reasonable that I should bear with you;
14Pauluj lao men majanda, Kalion ap majani on Juj oko: Komail Juj oko, ma japun eu de me jued kot, i pan ron komail.
15but if they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves. For I don’t want to be a judge of these matters.”
15A ma akamai duen lamalam, o ad akan, o omail kapun, nan pein komail pan wia, pwe nai jota men jaunkapun pan mepukat.
16So he drove them from the judgment seat.
16I ari jiken ir wei jan ni mol en kadeik o.
17Then all the Greeks seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. Gallio didn’t care about any of these things.
17A karoj ap jaikidi Jojtenej, jaumaj en jinakoke o woki i mon mol en kadeik o. A Kalion jota injenoki mepukat karoj.
18Paul, having stayed after this many more days, took his leave of the brothers, and sailed from there for Syria, together with Priscilla and Aquila. He shaved his head in Cenchreae, for he had a vow.
18Pauluj lao kotikot waja o ran toto, ap kotin kamurimuri on jaulan kan o ianala jop pot kotilan Jirien; Prijila i Akwila ian i. Maj a kotin kotedar tapwi nan Kenkraa, pwe a inau mia.
19He came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.
19I ari jupi on Epijuj, pwilikidi on ira waja o, a pein i kotilon on nan jinakoke o kaparok on Juj oko.
20When they asked him to stay with them a longer time, he declined;
20Irail poeki i, en mimieta re ’rail anjau warai, a jota kotin duki on.
21but taking his leave of them, he said, “I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem, but I will return again to you if God wills.” Then he set sail from Ephesus.
21O a kotin kamurimuri on irail majani: I udan ian kamadip kokodo nan Ierujalem. A ma Kot pan kotin mueid on ia, i pan pure don komail. A ap kotin maj el jan Epijuj.
22When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the assembly, and went down to Antioch.
22A lao kotin keredi Jajarea, ap kotidala ranamau on momodijou ap kotilan Antiokien.
23Having spent some time there, he departed and went through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, in order, establishing all the disciples.
23A kotikot waja o anjau kij, ap kotila kakan jili nan wein Kalatia, o Prikien, kakelada tounpadak kan karoj.
24Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus. He was mighty in the Scriptures.
24A men Juj amen, me ad a Apoluj, me tikidar Alekjandrien, iei ol kadek lokaia, o me ereki kijin likau kan, a ko don Epijuj.
25This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, although he knew only the baptism of John.
25Men et aleer padak ni al en Kaun o, o a kelail ni nen e, a padapadak o kaweweda mau meakan duen Iejuj; a paptaij en Ioanej me a aja.
26He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside, and explained to him the way of God more accurately.
26I ari tapiada aima padapadak nan jinakoke. A Akwila o Prijila lao ron i, ap uke don ira i, kawewe on i al en Kot.
27When he had determined to pass over into Achaia, the brothers encouraged him; and wrote to the disciples to receive him. When he had come, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace;
27A lao men kola Akaia, jaulan kai ap intin won tounpadak kan, poeki re ’rail, ren kajamo i. I lao pwarado, ap jauaja irail, me pojon kilar mak en Kot.
28for he powerfully refuted the Jews, publicly showing by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
28Pwe a manaman on Juj akan, kajale on irail jan kijin likau kan me Iejuj me Krijtuj.
