Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are in the Dispersion: Greetings.
1IET nai Iakopuj ladu en Kot o Kaun Ieiuj Krijtnj on kainok eijok riau, me pakajar pajaner; komail perenda!
2Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations,
2Ri ai ko, komail perenki ma komail lel on kajonejon.
3knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
3O aja, ma omail pojon me pun, a pan kareda kanonama.
4Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
4A kanonama pan duedueta lao lel imwi, pwe komail en anla o unjok, o jolar anane meakot.
5But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
5A ma amen re omail jota a lolekon, i en poeki ren Kot, me kin kotiki on amen amen ni jo kidaue, ari, a pan ale.
6But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed.
6A i en poeki ni pojon, der peikajal, pwe me kin peikajal, me raj on iluk en madau, me an kin ipir wei pukepuk.
7For that man shouldn’t think that he will receive anything from the Lord.
7Pwe i aramaj ender lamelame, me a pan tunole meakot jan ren Kaun o.
8He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
8A ol amen me peikajal, kin koweikodo ni a dodok karoj.
9Let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;
9A ri atail amen, me jamama, en juaiki a kapwapwa.
10and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away.
10A me kapwapwa en juaiki a jamama, pwe duen majal en ra a pan monedi.
11For the sun arises with the scorching wind and withers the grass; and the flower in it falls, and the beauty of its appearance perishes. So the rich man will also fade away in his pursuits.
11Pwe katipin dakada, ap karakar, ap kamonedi ra kan o majal en ra pupedier, o mom a kajelel olar, iduen me kapwapwa o pan jora jan ni a wiawia kan.
12Blessed is a person who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord promised to those who love him.
12Meid pai ol o, me wonweita ni jonapa, pwe murin a poedi, a pan ale nin in maur, me Kot kotin inauki on me pok on i.
13Let no man say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God,” for God can’t be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.
13Ma amen pan jonejon, a depa inda, me a jonejon ren Kot. Pwe Kot jota kak mi pan jonejon en mejued, o a pil jota kin kajonejon amen.
14But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust and enticed.
14A amen amen kin jonejon ni a inon jued.
15Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin. The sin, when it is full grown, produces death.
15A inon jued lao wiauier, ap naitikadar dip; a dip, ni a unjokelar, kin naitikada mela.
16Don’t be deceived, my beloved brothers.
16Ri ai kompok kan, komail der ponepon kida.
17Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation nor turning shadow.
17Kijakij mau karoj o a japan kodido jan poa, jan ren Jam en marain akan, me akan, me jota man jon toror o jota man wukila.
18Of his own will he gave birth to us by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
18A kotin kanaitik kida kitail majan melel, pwe kitail en wiala mejeni en japwilim a kan.
19So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;
19Ri ai kompok kan, komail aja, aramaj karoj en madan ron, a pwand en lokaia, o pwand en makar.
20for the anger of man doesn’t produce the righteousness of God.
20Pwe makar en ol o jota kin kapwareda pun en Kot.
21Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
21I me komail en kajela pwel karoj o me jued karoj, ap ale on komail majan o, me padedier lol omail nin tiak en karakarak, i me kak on kamaureda nen omail.
22But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.
22A komail en kapwaiada majan o kaidin ron eta, a ma iduen, komail kin kotaue pein komail.
23For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a mirror;
23Pwe ma meamen kin ron majan o, ap jota kapwaiada, nan a raj on ol amen, me kin kilekilan maj en pali war a nan klaj,
24for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
24Pwe murin a kilekilaner duen pein i, a koie la o pitipit monokela duen a janjal.
25But he who looks into the perfect law of freedom and continues, not being a hearer who forgets but a doer of the work, this man will be blessed in what he does.
25A me kin kilekilan melel nan kapun unjok o kajaledok, o kapwaiada, o ma a jota pan monokela, me a roner, a kapwaiada, nan i pan pai kida a wiawia kan.
26If anyone among you thinks himself to be religious while he doesn’t bridle his tongue, but deceives his heart, this man’s religion is worthless.
26Ma amen lamelame, me a kin papa Kot, ap jota kaineneda lol a, o ma a piti pein monion i, nan a dodok on Kot me mal kot.
27Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
27A dodok min o pun mon Kot o Jam me wet: En apapwali jopoupou o li odi kan ni ar apwal akan, o pera ki pein i jan jappa.
