Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1Saul was consenting to his death. A great persecution arose against the assembly which was in Jerusalem in that day. They were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except for the apostles.
1A JAULUJ pil peren kida a kamela. A ni ran ota anjaun kamekam en momodijou en Ierujalem tapida; karoj ap muei pajan nan jap en Iudaao Jamaria, wanporon akan me jo.
2Devout men buried Stephen and lamented greatly over him.
2A ol lelapok kai jarepedi Jtepanuj o maieiki i kaualap.
3But Saul ravaged the assembly, entering into every house and dragged both men and women off to prison.
3A Jauluj me kamueit pajan momodijou o kuli on im karoj, wala ol o li karoj, kajedi on irail nan imaten.
4Therefore those who were scattered abroad went around preaching the word.
4A irail me muei pajaner, kakan jili padapadak duen majan o.
5Philip went down to the city of Samaria and proclaimed to them the Christ.
5Pilipuj ap kotilan kanim en Jamaria eu o padaki on irail duen Krijtuj.
6The multitudes listened with one accord to the things that were spoken by Philip when they heard and saw the signs which he did.
6A aramaj akan wiaki eu peiki on meakan, me Pilipuj padaki on irail. Re roneron i o kilan kilel akan me a wiadar.
7For unclean spirits came out of many of those who had them. They came out, crying with a loud voice. Many who had been paralyzed and lame were healed.
7Pwe nen jaut keredi jan ren me toto ni ar weriwer laud. O me kokon madak o na danidan toto me kelailadar.
8There was great joy in that city.
8O peren me lapalap nan kanim o.
9But there was a certain man, Simon by name, who used to practice sorcery in the city and amazed the people of Samaria, making himself out to be some great one,
9A ol amen ad a Jimon, me kin wun ani maj o, kotokotaue men Jamaria, me inda duen pein i, me i me lapalap.
10to whom they all listened, from the least to the greatest, saying, “This man is that great power of God.”
10A irail karoj peiki on i, me tikitik o me lapalap akan katitiki: Men et iei manaman en Kot me lapalap.
11They listened to him because for a long time he had amazed them with his sorceries.
11A re kin peiki on i, pweki a kin kotokotaue irail jan maj kokodo.
12But when they believed Philip preaching good news concerning God’s Kingdom and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
12A re lao kamelele Pilipuj, me padaki duen ronamau en wein Kot o duen mar en Iejuj Krijtuj, rap paptaijela, ol o li akan.
13Simon himself also believed. Being baptized, he continued with Philip. Seeing signs and great miracles occurring, he was amazed.
13Jimon pil ian pojonlar, I lao paptaijelar, ap waroki on Pilipuj. A lao udial kilel o manaman akan, me wiauier, ap puriamuiki.
14Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them,
14Wanporon akan me kotikot Ierujalem lao mani, me Jamaria ian duki on majan en Kot, rap poronelan irail Petruj o Ioanej.
15who, when they had come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit;
15Ira lao kotido, ap kapakapa kin irail, pwe re en tunole Nen jaraui.
16for as yet he had fallen on none of them. They had only been baptized in the name of Christ Jesus.
16Pwe a jaikenta moredi on amen irail. Re paptaijelar eta ni mar en Kaun Iejuj.
17Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
17Ira ari kotiki on po ’rail lim ar akan, irail ap aleer Nen jaraui.
18Now when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money,
18Jimon lao kilaner, me Nen jaraui kokido en wanporon oko ara pwil po ’rail lim ar akan, ap men ki on ira kijin moni.
19saying, “Give me also this power, that whomever I lay my hands on may receive the Holy Spirit.”
19Indada: Koma pil kotiki don ia manaman wet, pwe ma I pan pwiI pon amen pa i kat, i en ale Nen jaraui.
20But Peter said to him, “May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money!
20A Petruj majani on i: Noum moni en ian uk lokidokila! pweki om kiki on, me mana en Kot kokido moni.
21You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart isn’t right before God.
21Nan jota pwaij om de om tunol ni dodok wet, pwe monion om jota inen mon Kot.
22Repent therefore of this, your wickedness, and ask God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.
22Ari, kalukila om jued wet, poeki ren Kaun o, ma a jota pan kotin makeki lamelam jued nan monion om.
23For I see that you are in the poison of bitterness and in the bondage of iniquity.”
23Pwe i kilaner, me koe me dir en edi katik o teniten ni me japun.
24Simon answered, “Pray for me to the Lord, that none of the things which you have spoken happen to me.”
24Jimon ap japen indada: Koma kotin kapakapa kin ia ren Kaun o, pwe mepukat, me koma majani on ia, ender pwai don ia.
25They therefore, when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the Good News to many villages of the Samaritans.
25A ira lao katitiki o kotikida majan en Kaun o, ap purelan Ierujalem, o padak jili ronamau nan kijinkanim en Jamaria toto.
26Then an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, “Arise, and go toward the south to the way that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza. This is a desert.”
26A tounlan en Kaun o majani on Pilipuj: Uda kola pali air pon al o, me kodi jan Ierujalem, ko on Kaja me tan!
27He arose and went; and behold, there was a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship.
27I ari uda japalewei. A kilan, ol en Etiopia, jaumaj manaman en Kandaje, li nanmarki en Etiojiia, me kokoaki a dipijou karoj, mo kotido, pwen kaudok nan Ierujalem.
28He was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah.
28A ni a purela jap we, a kotikot pon dakepa o dondoropwe jaukop Iejaia.
29The Spirit said to Philip, “Go near, and join yourself to this chariot.”
29Nen o ap kotin majani on Pilipuj: Kai on o ianala dakepa!
30Philip ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?”
30Pilipuj ap tana won i, ap ronadar a dondoropwe jaukop Iejaia majani: Komui weweki, me komui doropwe?
31He said, “How can I, unless someone explains it to me?” He begged Philip to come up and sit with him.
31I ari majani: Pala i pan aja, ma jota, me pan kawewe on ia? I ari poeki ren Pilipuj en kereda mondi re a.
32Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this, “He was led as a sheep to the slaughter. As a lamb before his shearer is silent, so he doesn’t open his mouth.
32A iet waja nan kijin likau o me a wadoker: Duen jip amen, me pakara wei, pwen kamela, o duen jippul, me kin nenenlata pan me kote jan wun a, iduen a jota kotin dauaja pajan jilan i.
33In his humiliation, his judgment was taken away. Who will declare His generation? For his life is taken from the earth.”
33A ni a karakarak a jolar pakadeikadar. A ij me pan kak kaweweda duen jau i kan? Pwe a ieiaj wijike janer jappa.
34The eunuch answered Philip, “Who is the prophet talking about? About himself, or about someone else?”
34Jaumaj ap japen Pilipuj majani: I men poeki re omui, ij me jaukop katitiki met? Duen pein i de duen amen?
35Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture, preached to him about Jesus.
35Pilipuj ap kotiki pajan au a, padaki on i ronamau en lejuj, tapiada nan kijin likau wet.
36As they went on the way, they came to some water; and the eunuch said, “Behold, here is water. What is keeping me from being baptized?”
36A ni ara kokowei, ira lel on pil apot, a jaumaj o majani: Kilan pil o, da me karompa, me I jota paptaij ki?
38He commanded the chariot to stand still, and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him.
38I ap majani dakepa en udi. Ira karoj ap kodi on pil o, Pilipuj o jaumaj o; i ari paptaij i.
39When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, and the eunuch didn’t see him any more, for he went on his way rejoicing.
39Ira lao kodado jan nan pil o, Nen en Kaun o ap pokada jan Pilipuj. Jaumaj o ap jolar kilan i. I ari daulul kokowei popol.
40But Philip was found at Azotus. Passing through, he preached the Good News to all the cities until he came to Caesarea.
40Pilipuj ap diarokadar Ajdod; a dadaulular, padak jili ronamau nan kanim karoj lao a lele don Jajarea.
