Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1When it was determined that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan band.
1A LAO kileledier, me je pan jerokelan Italien, re kajilaki Pauluj, o akai me jalidi, kaun en jaunpei amen, me ad a Iuliuj, kijan pwin en Aukujtuj.
2Embarking in a ship of Adramyttium, which was about to sail to places on the coast of Asia, we put to sea, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica being with us.
2Kit ari kereda pon jop en Adramitien pot, me pan jupi on kanim en Ajien akan, me mi pon oror, ap tan wei. Ari, Arijtarkuj, men Majetonien amen jan Tejalonik ian kit.
3The next day, we touched at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.
3Mandan ran o je leler Jidon. A Iuliuj me kadek on Pauluj, ap mueid on i, en kotila ren kompokepa ko pwen kajarloleit.
4Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
4Kit ari majelar jan waja o, ap tanatan pananen Jipern, aki an me u don kit.
5When we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
5Kit tanatan kotela lepen jed en Jilijia o Pampilien, je ap lel on Mira en Lijia,
6There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.
6I waja kaun en jaunpei o diarada jop en Alekjandrien pot, me pan majelan Italien, i ari kajau on kit poa.
7When we had sailed slowly many days, and had come with difficulty opposite Cnidus, the wind not allowing us further, we sailed under the lee of Crete, opposite Salmone.
7A kit pwapwand kokola, pon toto meid apwal on kit lel on Kniduj, pwe an me kawela; kit ari tanatan pananen Kreta, tan won Jalmone.
8With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.
8A meid apwal at dauli waja o; kit ari lel on jap eu, me ad a Kapitau mau koren ion kanim Lajaa.
9When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them
9A anjau lao daulier o a apwalar on jailok jili, aki ran en kaijejol daulier, Pauluj ap kotin panaui o
10and said to them, “Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.”
10Majani on irail: Ol oko, i ajaer me jailok wet pan juedela a pan apwal kaualap, kaidin on audepan jop o jop eta, pwe pil on maur atail.
11But the centurion gave more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship than to those things which were spoken by Paul.
11A kaun en jaunpei o liki jaunilil o jaumaj en jop o jan majan en Pauluj.
12Because the haven was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised going to sea from there, if by any means they could reach Phoenix and winter there, which is a port of Crete, looking southwest and northwest.
12A kapitau me jota non mau on jop en mimieta ni anjaun kapau. Koren ion karoj ari men jamala jan waja o, o re jon, ma re jota kak on lel Ponikj, pwen mimita waja o ni anjaun kapau, I kapitau en Kreta eu, me mi ni pali air o pali apan.
13When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.
13A an lao udo jan pali air, re ap kiki on, me re pan pwaida, ap apiada paipun ko tanala liman Kreta.
14But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euroclydon.
14A madan melimel udo jan Kreta, me ad a alepip en kijinian.
15When the ship was caught and couldn’t face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.
15A an lao kapeila jop o, o jop jolar kak on, kit ap nenenla o peila.
16Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.
16Ni at tanala pananen dake tikitik eu, me ad a Klauda, me tar kij, a je jolar kak on koledi pot o.
17After they had hoisted it up, they used cables to help reinforce the ship. Fearing that they would run aground on the Syrtis sand bars, they lowered the sea anchor, and so were driven along.
17Irail apiada i, pwen kak piradi on ni jop o, ap lilidi, pwe re majak re de jerada nan Jirte, ap punipunidok jili.
18As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.
18Kit lao punipunidok jili kaualap, manda ap kamararadar jop o.
19On the third day, they threw out the ship’s tackle with their own hands.
19A ni ran kajilu irail kaje kila pein pa arail kapwa en jop o.
20When neither sun nor stars shone on us for many days, and no small storm pressed on us, all hope that we would be saved was now taken away.
20Kadekadeo ran totola jota katipin o jota uju, o melimel kalaimun u don kit, ap jolar at kaporopor en pitila.
21When they had been long without food, Paul stood up in the middle of them and said, “Sirs, you should have listened to me, and not have set sail from Crete and have gotten this injury and loss.
21A kit lao kaijejol warailar, Pauluj ap pwarada nan pun arail majani: Ol oko mak eta, komail en peiki on ia er o jo majel jan Kreta, pwe kitail ender lel don kaupatail.
22Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
22A met i panaui komail, en kaporopor mau, pwe jota me pan mela, jop eta me pan ola.
23For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,
23Pwe tounlan en Kot, me japwilim a nai, o me i kin papa, me kotida imp ai pon,
24saying, ‘Don’t be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. Behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’
24Kotin majani: Pauluj, koe der majak, koe pan wijike won ren Jija. A kilan, Kot me kotiki on uk er karoj me ian uk.
25Therefore, sirs, cheer up! For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.
25Ari ol oko komail kaporopor mau, pwe i kin pojon Kot, me a majan pan pwaida.
26But we must run aground on a certain island.”
26A kitail pan jerada nin dake eu.
27But when the fourteenth night had come, as we were driven back and forth in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors surmised that they were drawing near to some land.
27A lao pon naul pa pon lar, kit peipei jili nan jed Adria. Ni ailep en pon toun jop o kajauiada, me je koren ion jap eu.
28They took soundings and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.
28A irail lao kajedi men jon, re ap diaradar, me nap rieijok, o re kaila ekij waja o kajedi men jon, re ap diaradar, me nap eijoklimau.
29Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
29A re majak, je de jerada pon mut, rap kajedi paipon paieu jan in murin jop, ap mauki en ran pajan,
30As the sailors were trying to flee out of the ship and had lowered the boat into the sea, pretending that they would lay out anchors from the bow,
30A toun jop o lao men pitila jan nin jop o, o re apiedi pot apot nan jed, dene re pan kajedi paipon kai ni mon jop o,
31Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these stay in the ship, you can’t be saved.”
31Pauluj ap majani on kaun o jounpei kan: Ma mepukat jota pan mimieta pon jop o, komail jota pan kak dorela.
32Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat and let it fall off.
32Jaunpei kan ap leke jan pot o kajela o ari.
33While the day was coming on, Paul begged them all to take some food, saying, “Today is the fourteenth day that you wait and continue fasting, having taken nothing.
33A lao pan ran pajan, Pauluj ap panaui irail, ren mana, majani: Nan a pon naul pa pon lar, me komail kin auiaui o kaijejol o jota mana.
34Therefore I beg you to take some food, for this is for your safety; for not a hair will perish from any of your heads.”
34Nai ari panauki komail, en mana, pwe i me komail pil pan piti kila. Pwe jota pit en mon pit pan pupedi jan amen komail.
35When he had said this and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all; then he broke it and began to eat.
35A lao majanier met, ap ale prot, danke Kot mo ’rail karoj. I lao pilitiki pajan ap jak.
36Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.
36Irail karoj ap kaporopor maular o pil mana.
37In all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on the ship.
37A kit karoj me mi nan jop o, me riepuki ijiakan wonumen.
38When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
38Irail lao medier, rap kamaradar jop o, kajedi on nan madau korn.
39When it was day, they didn’t recognize the land, but they noticed a certain bay with a beach, and they decided to try to drive the ship onto it.
39A lao waja ran pajan, re jaja jap o, A re diaradar kapitau me mad mia; i waja re lamedar en walan jop ia, ma re pan kak on.
40Casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time untying the rudder ropes. Hoisting up the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.
40Irail lao leke jan paipon ko, rap kaje ir ala nan madau, o lapwada padil akan, o apiadar p jerok en moa ni an o, ap tanala ni oror.
41But coming to a place where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground. The bow struck and remained immovable, but the stern began to break up by the violence of the waves.
41Irail lao lel on mad eu, jop o jerada o jolar mokid. Mon jop o tenela, a muri ola nan iluk kan.
42The soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.
42Jaunpei ko ap men kamela me jalidi kan, pwe amen de pan pitila jan.
43But the centurion, desiring to save Paul, stopped them from their purpose, and commanded that those who could swim should throw themselves overboard first to go toward the land;
43A kaun en jaunpei o men dorela Pauluj, ap jota mueid on irail me re men wia o majani: Me aja pampap, en lujedi on nan madau pap won jap o.
44and the rest should follow, some on planks and some on other things from the ship. So they all escaped safely to the land.
44A me tei kan pon tenap de kijan jop o. A ap pwaida, me irail karoj dorelar o lel on jap o.
