Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper country, came to Ephesus and found certain disciples.
1Ani anjau Apoluj mi Korint, Pauluj kotin kakan jili jap en pali poa kan, ap lele don Epijuj waja a diarada tounpadak kai.
2He said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” They said to him, “No, we haven’t even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”
2A kotin majani on irail: Komail aleer Nen jaraui ni omail pojonlar? Irail potoan on i: Je jota man ron, me Nen jaraui mia.
3He said, “Into what then were you baptized?” They said, “Into John’s baptism.”
3A ap kotin majani: A ij, me komail paptaij on? Irail inda: on paptaij en Ioanej.
4Paul said, “John indeed baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe in the one who would come after him, that is, in Christ Jesus.”
4Pauluj majani: Ioanej paptaij ki paptaij en kalula, ni a majani on aramaj akan, me ren pojon i me pan pwarado mur i, i Iejuj.
5When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
5Irail lao ronadar met, re ap paptaij on mar en Kaun Iejuj.
6When Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them and they spoke with other languages and prophesied.
6Pauluj lao kotin pwil po ’rail lim a kan, Nen jaraui ap kotidi po ’rail, irail ari lokaia nil toror pajan o deideikop.
7They were about twelve men in all.
7A ir ol oko me ekriamen.
8He entered into the synagogue and spoke boldly for a period of three months, reasoning and persuading about the things concerning God’s Kingdom.
8I ari kotin purepure nan jinakoke o aima padapadak jauni pon jilu, kapakaparok o kawewedar meakan duen wein Kot.
9But when some were hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the multitude, he departed from them and separated the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.
9A akai lao kapitakailar, o jo pojon, o lokelokaia jued on aramaj akan duen lamalam, a ap jaupei jan irail o katorela tounpadak kan, o padapadaki on irail nan im en padak en Tiranuj.
10This continued for two years, so that all those who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.
10Mepukat wiauier jaunpar riau; toun Ajien karoj ari ronada majan en Kaun o, men Juj o men Krik karoj.
11God worked special miracles by the hands of Paul,
11O Kot me kotin wia kida Iim en Pauluj manaman kapuriamui akan.
12so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were carried away from his body to the sick, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out.
12Re pil aleer lim en pudo o likau an moa jan pali war a, pwilikidi on me jomau kan, jomau o ap jare jan, o nen jued akan keredi jan.
13But some of the itinerant Jews, exorcists, took on themselves to invoke over those who had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, “We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches.”
13Men Juj widinok kai, me kin koko jili kati ani, ap jon jakaraki don irail, me tanwar en nen jued kai, mar en Kaun Iejuj, indada: Kit kaukilan komail Iejuj, me Pauluj kin padapadak due.
14There were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did this.
14A ol ijimen mia nain jamaro lapalap Jkepaj, ol en Juj amen, me wiadar mepukat.
15The evil spirit answered, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are you?”
15A wen jued japen irail indada: I aja Iejuj, o i aja duen Pauluj, a komail, ij komail?
16The man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
16A aramaj o, me nen jued mi poa, ap luje don irail o kaloe irail edi. Ir ari tana jan nan im o kilijo o kili olar.
17This became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who lived at Ephesus. Fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
17A met lok jili ren men Juj o Krik akan, me kaujon Epijuj. O majak kipa irail edi, o mar en Kaun Iejuj me lomuinlar kaualap.
18Many also of those who had believed came, confessing and declaring their deeds.
18O me ian pojonlar me toto kodo weokadar o kajaledar arail wiawia kan.
19Many of those who practiced magical arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. They counted their price, and found it to be fifty thousand pieces of silver.
19O pil me toto, me kati ani, wa pena nairail puk o ijik ir ada mon karoj; ir ari wadok pwain ar o diar, me a dok on moni limenen.
20So the word of the Lord was growing and becoming mighty.
20Majan en Kaun ari pwaidar kaualap.
21Now after these things had ended, Paul determined in the Spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, “After I have been there, I must also see Rome.”
21Murin mepukat Pauluj ap kotin inon ion ni nen e kakan jili wein Majetonien o Akaia, ap kotilan Ierujalem majanidar: I lao milar waja o, i pil pan kilan Rom.
22Having sent into Macedonia two of those who served him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.
22I ari kadarala Majetonien riamen, kijan me papa i: Timoteuj o Erajtuj. A pein i kotikoteta maj nan Ajien.
23About that time there arose no small disturbance concerning the Way.
23I anjau me moromoron laud wiauier pweki lamalam.
24For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith who made silver shrines of Artemis, brought no little business to the craftsmen,
24Pwe amen, me ad a Demetriuj, jaunmata amen, me kin wiada im en kaudok jilper kan on Diana, me kare on irail, me kin wiawiada, moni toto.
25whom he gathered together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, “Sirs, you know that by this business we have our wealth.
25I ap kapokon irail pena o toun dodok en jon ota indada: Main ko, komail aja, me dodok wet meid kadepa on kitail, pwe i me kitail kapwapwaki.
26You see and hear that not at Ephesus alone, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away many people, saying that they are no gods that are made with hands.
26A komail kilekilan o roneron, me Pauluj men et kin kaloedi o kawukila aramaj toto a kaidin nan Epijuj eta, pwe pil koren ion nan Ajien pon, ni a kin padaki on aramaj akan, me dene kaidin irail kot akan, me wiaui pan pa en aramaj akan.
27Not only is there danger that this our trade come into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be counted as nothing and her majesty destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worships.”
27Mepukat meid apwal on kitail. Pwe kaidin atail dodok eta me pan kamala, pwe pil im kaudok en kot Diana lapalap o a linan, me toun Ajien o jappa karoj kin kaudoki on pan jorela.
28When they heard this they were filled with anger, and cried out, saying, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
28Irail lao roner mepukat, re ap makara kida kaualap o weriweradar indada: Meid lapalap Diana en men Epijuj!
29The whole city was filled with confusion, and they rushed with one accord into the theater, having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul’s companions in travel.
29A karoj toun kanim o ap pinidar, wiaki eu, tanalan im en madon, tanaki Kaioj o Arijtar kuj men Majetonien, me waroki on Pauluj oko.
30When Paul wanted to enter in to the people, the disciples didn’t allow him.
30A Pauluj lao pan kotilon nan pokon o, tounpadak kan ap jota mueid on i.
31Certain also of the Asiarchs, being his friends, sent to him and begged him not to venture into the theater.
31O jaumaj en Ajien kai, me kompokepa kan, ilake don i, panaui i, ender kotilan im en madon o.
32Some therefore cried one thing, and some another, for the assembly was in confusion. Most of them didn’t know why they had come together.
32Ari, akai wia eu jon en lokaia, a akai eu, pwe pokon o pinidar. A me toto re ’rail jaja karep en ar pokon pena.
33They brought Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. Alexander beckoned with his hand, and would have made a defense to the people.
33Irail jikon jan nan pokon o Alekjander; Juj oko me jikonla i. A Alekjander olol on irail, ap men japen pokon o.
34But when they perceived that he was a Jew, all with one voice for a time of about two hours cried out, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
34Irail lao aja, me i kijan Juj oko, re ap wiaki eu weriwerada auer riau: Meid lapalap Diana en men Epijuj!
35When the town clerk had quieted the multitude, he said, “You men of Ephesus, what man is there who doesn’t know that the city of the Ephesians is temple keeper of the great goddess Artemis, and of the image which fell down from Zeus?
35A jaunintin en kanim o lao kadukiedi pokon o, ap indada: Komail ol oko en Epijuj, ij aramaj, me jaja, me kanim en men Epijuj kin kaukaudoki on Diana lapalap o dikedik, me pupedi jan nanlan?
36Seeing then that these things can’t be denied, you ought to be quiet and to do nothing rash.
36A ma jota, me pan kak kalikame mepukat, komail en nenenla o der wiada me japun!
37For you have brought these men here, who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of your goddess.
37Pwe komail ukedo ol pukat, me jota kin kuliada im en kaudok o, pil jota lalaue omail kot li.
38If therefore Demetrius and the craftsmen who are with him have a matter against anyone, the courts are open and there are proconsuls. Let them press charges against one another.
38A ma Demetriuj o ian a kan mauki meakot ren amen, kapun ap pan wiaui, pwe jaunkapun kai mia, ren kapukapun re ’rail.
39But if you seek anything about other matters, it will be settled in the regular assembly.
39A ma komail mauki eu jon toror, i me pan kapunala nan kapun o.
40For indeed we are in danger of being accused concerning today’s riot, there being no cause. Concerning it, we wouldn’t be able to give an account of this commotion.”
40Pwe kitail pan pukoki moron en ran wet, pwe jota karepen, me kitail en kapunki pokon wet ar tanatan pena.
41When he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
41A lao majani on irail mepukat, ap kadar pajan pokon o.
