Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1But I say that so long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a bondservant, though he is lord of all,
1A iet me i men inda: Jojo men arain a jeri, a jo toror jan ladu men, ari jo, a kaun en meakaroj.
2but is under guardians and stewards until the day appointed by the father.
2A kin upa on jaunpadak o jaunkoa kan lao lel anjau me jam a kileledier.
3So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental principles of the world.
3Iduen kitail ni atail kijin jeri, kitail kin upai on padak en jappa kan.
4But when the fullness of the time came, God sent out his Son, born to a woman, born under the law,
4A anjau lao leler, Kot ap kotin poronedo japwilim a Ol, me ipwidi jan ren li amen, ap mi pan kapun o.
5that he might redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as children.
5Pwen kajaledoka ir ala, me mi pan kapun, pwe kitail en wiala japwilim a jeri.
6And because you are children, God sent out the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, “Abba, Father!”
6Komail ari jeri kan, i me Kot ap kotin poronedo Nen en japwilim a Ol nan monion atail, me kin likelikwir: Apa Jam!
7So you are no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
7Ari, jolar ladu men, pwe jeri ta; a ma jeri nan pil jeri jojo en Kot.
8However at that time, not knowing God, you were in bondage to those who by nature are not gods.
8A ni anjau o me komail jaja Kot, komail papaer me kaidin udan kot akan.
9But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, why do you turn back again to the weak and miserable elemental principles, to which you desire to be in bondage all over again?
9A metet komail ajalar Kot, o Kot me kotin mani komail melel, menda komail pil japal lan lamalam jued o jakanekan, me komail men pur on papa?
10You observe days, months, seasons, and years.
10Komail kin kajarauiela ran akai, o jaunipon kai, o anjau kai, o jaunpar kai.
11I am afraid for you, that I might have wasted my labor for you.
11I non kin komail, pwe ele ai dodok on komail jota pan kadepa.
12I beg you, brothers, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You did me no wrong,
12Ri ai kan, i nidinidi kin komail, en dueta nai, pwe nai kin dueta komail, pwe jota me jued kot, me komail wiai on ia er.
13but you know that because of weakness in the flesh I preached the Good News to you the first time.
13A komail aja due i maj o, me i padaki on komail er ronamau ni ai luet en pali uduk.
14That which was a temptation to you in my flesh, you didn’t despise nor reject; but you received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.
14O komail jota mamaleki ai jonejon ni uduk ai o tata kin ia; a komail apwali ia la dueta nai tounlan en Kot amen, de dueta Iejuj Krijtuj.
15What was the blessing you enjoyed? For I testify to you that, if possible, you would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me.
15Iaduen wan omail pai ni anjau o! Pwe i kadede duen komail, ma a kak pa omail. komail pan pwadika jan por en maj omail ap ki on ia.
16So then, have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?
16Iaduen, i wiala omail imwintiti, pweki ai lokaia melel on komail.
17They zealously seek you in no good way. No, they desire to alienate you, that you may seek them.
17Arail nanantion rapaki komail me jota mau; irail men kamueit kitail pajan, pwe komail en id idauen irail.
18But it is always good to be zealous in a good cause, and not only when I am present with you.
18Me mau anjau karoj en nantion me mau kan, a kaidin ta ni ai mi re omail.
19My little children, of whom I am again in travail until Christ is formed in you—
19Nai jeri kan! I naitik japal komail ki madak, lao Krijtuj kawuk komail la on pein mom a.
20but I could wish to be present with you now, and to change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.
20I men mi re omail anjau wet o men kawukila nil ai, pwe I jajalar ir omail.
21Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, don’t you listen to the law?
21Komail, me kin men mi pan kapun o, indan ia, ma komail jota kin ron kapun o?
22For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the servant, and one by the free woman.
22Pwe a intinidier, me nain Apraam putak riamen mia, amen jan ren na lidu, a amen jan ren me maioda.
23However, the son by the servant was born according to the flesh, but the son by the free woman was born through promise.
23A me jon ren lidu ipwiki uduk, a me jan ren me maioda, ipwiki inau en Kot.
24These things contain an allegory, for these are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children to bondage, which is Hagar.
24Mepukat karajepa eu, pwe met inau riau, eu jan ni nana Jinai, me kin naitiki on na kan papa, i me Akar.
25For this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and answers to the Jerusalem that exists now, for she is in bondage with her children.
25Pwe Akar nana Jinai nan Arapien, me raj on Ierujalem en met, o kin lidilidui ian na jeri kan.
26But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
26A Ierujalem, me mi poa, me maioda iei in atail.
27For it is written, “Rejoice, you barren who don’t bear. Break out and shout, you who don’t travail. For the desolate women have more children than her who has a husband.”
27Pwe a intinidier: Pereperen koe me li dapwan, me jota kin naitik, kadailon o werida koe, me jo kaipwi on, pwe nain li dapwan jeri kan me toto jan me a warok mia.
28Now we, brothers, as Isaac was, are children of promise.
28A komail ri ai ol akan, me rajon Ijaak, me jeri en inau kan.
29But as then, he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now.
29A duen maj o, me ipwiki uduk, me kailonki me ipwiki Nen o, iduen anjau wet.
30However, what does the Scripture say? “Throw out the servant and her son, for the son of the servant will not inherit with the son of the free woman.”
30A da me kijin likau o majani? Kajela li lidu o na putak! Pwe putak en lidu jota pan ian nain li me maioda jojoki.
31So then, brothers, we are not children of a servant, but of the free woman.
31Ari ri ai kan, kitail jota jeri en lidu, pwe nain me maioda.
