Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray and not give up,
1A PIL kotin majani on irail karajeraj eu, me ren poden kapakap o der panada.
2saying, “There was a judge in a certain city who didn’t fear God and didn’t respect man.
2A kotin majani: Jaunkapun amen mi nan kanim eu, me jota lan Kot, o jota injenoki aramaj amen.
3A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, ‘Defend me from my adversary!’
3A li odi men mi nan kanim ota, me poto don i potoan on: Kom kotin jauaja ia on me kailon kin ia!
4He wouldn’t for a while; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man,
4A a kan maj o, a kadekadeo a monemoneloleki: Nan i jota lan Kot, o pil jota injenoki aramaj,
5yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.’”
5A pweki li odi men et a kadiropa ia. i pan jauaja i. pwender purodo kadiropa ia.
6The Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
6Kaun o ap kotin majani: Komail ron, me jaunkapun japun indada!
7Won’t God avenge his chosen ones who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?
7A iaduen Kot, a jota pan kotin jauaja japwilim a pilipildar akan, me kin likelikwir on i ni ran o ni pon? Pala a pan kotin pwapwand?
8I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
8I indai on komail: nan a pan madan jauaja ir. Ari jo, Nain aramaj lao pwarado, da, a pan diar pojon ni jappa?
9He also spoke this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others:
9A pil kotin karajai on irail me kin aka punki pein irail, ap aka japunki me tei kan:
10“Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
10Aramaj riamen kodala on nan im en kaudok pwen kapakap. Amen ira Parijar, a amen jaunopwei men.
11The Pharisee stood and prayed by himself like this: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of men: extortionists, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
11Parijar o kajinenda kelepela ekij waja kapakap due met: Main Kot, i danke ir, me i jota dueta aramaj tei kan: Lolap, japun, kamal, de dueta jaunopwei men et.
12I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.’
12I kin kaikaijole pan riapak ni wik eu o koleireki eijokkij eu en ai kapwa karoj.
13But the tax collector, standing far away, wouldn’t even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his chest, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’
13A jaunopwei u doo jan ekij waja, ap jota men jarada nanlan, a a pikir maramar a indada: Main Kot, re kotin kupura ia me dipan!
14I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
14I indai on komail, ol men et kodila deu a punala mon me teio. Pwe me kin kajapwilada pein i, pan kajapwilidi, a me kin kajapwilidi pein i pan kajapwilada,
15They were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
15Irail ap wa don i kijin jeri kai, pwen kotin jair ir. A japwilim a tounpadak kan lao kilaner, re ap kapoui irail.
16Jesus summoned them, saying, “Allow the little children to come to me, and don’t hinder them, for God’s Kingdom belongs to such as these.
16A Iejuj kotin molipe ir majani: Mueid on kijin jeri kan, en kodo re i! Der kalik irail edi! Pwe irail me udan wein Kot.
17Most certainly, I tell you, whoever doesn’t receive God’s Kingdom like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.”
17Melel I indai on komail, meamen, me jota ale wein Kot rajon kijin jeri men, a jota pan pedelon on lole.
18A certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”
18A monjap amen idok re a majani: Jaunpadak mau, da me I en wiada, pwen jojoki maur joutuk?
19Jesus asked him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one: God.
19Iejuj ari kotin majani on i: Da me koe indaki, me I me mau? Jota me mau men, Kot eta.
20You know the commandments: ‘Don’t commit adultery,’ ‘Don’t murder,’ ‘Don’t steal,’ ‘Don’t give false testimony,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’”
20Koe kin aja kujoned akan: Koe der kamal; koe der kamela aramaj; koe der pirap, koe der kinekine mal, kakaki jam om
21He said, “I have observed all these things from my youth up.”
21I ari indada: Nan mepukat karoj i kin wiawia jan ni ai tikitik kokodo.
22When Jesus heard these things, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor. Then you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.”
22Iejuj lao mani mepukat, ap majani on i: Me ta kij me lua, netikila om kapwa karoj, o nene on me jamama kan, a om pai pan mi nanlan, ap kodo idauen ia do.
23But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.
23A lao ronadar met, ap injenjuede kila melel, pwe a kapwapwa kaualap.
24Jesus, seeing that he became very sad, said, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!
24A Iejuj lao kotin majani, me a injenjuedela, ap majani: Nan me apwal on me kapwapwa kan, en pedelon on nan wein Kot.
25For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”
25Pwe me manai, kamel en tilon nan por en dikok, jan ol kapwapwa men pedelon on nan wein Kot.
26Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?”
26Irail me roneron indada: Ari, ij me kak on maur?
27But he said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”
27A kotin majani: Me aramaj akan jo kak on, Kot me pan kak on.
28Peter said, “Look, we have left everything and followed you.”
28Petruj ap potoan on: Re kotin mani, kit me likid maliela meakaroj ap idauen la ir.
29He said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for God’s Kingdom’s sake,
29A kotin majani on irail: Melel I indai on komail, nan jota me likidmaliela im a, de jam, de in a, de ri a ol akan, de a paud, de na jeri kan pweki wein Kot,
30who will not receive many times more in this time, and in the world to come, eternal life.”
30Me jo pan id aneki me lapalap ni anjau wet o ni muei kokodo maur joutuk.
31He took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed.
31A kotin ukala ekriamen ko majani on irail: Kilan, kitail kin kodalan Ierujalem, o karoj pan pwaida, me intinidier ren jaukop akan duen Nain aramaj.
32For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.
32Pwe a pan panala ren men liki kan, pwe re pan kapikapiti I o ki jan wau i, o kondipi on i.
33They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again.”
33O re pan woki i o kamela, a ni kajilu en ran a pan maureda.
34They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they didn’t understand the things that were said.
34Irail ari jota man weweki mepukat, o majan pot et me rir jan irail. Re pil jaja, me a kotin majani.
35As he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.
35A kadekadeo ni a koren ion Ieriko, ol majkun amen momod pon kailan al, poekipoeki.
36Hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant.
36I lao ronadar pokon o me daudaulul, ap idok due.
37They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
37Irail ari indan i, me Iejuj men Najaret kotin daulul.
38He cried out, “Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!”
38I ari nil laudeda potoan on: Iejuj, japwilim en Dawid, kotin kupura ia!
39Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “You son of David, have mercy on me!”
39A me tion moa kidekidaue i, en nenenla: a i ap kalaudela a poekipoeki: Japwilim en Dawid, kotin kupura ia!
40Standing still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,
40Iejuj ap kotin udi on waja o, majani, ol o en wijike don i. A lao koren ion imp a, ap kotin kainoma re a.
41“What do you want me to do?” He said, “Lord, that I may see again.”
41Majani: Da me koe men, I en wiai on uk? A potoan on: Main, i men potoan narada waja.
42Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you.”
42A Iejuj kotin majani on i: Kilan waja, om pojon me kakel uk ada!
43Immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.
43Ap pitipit kilanada waja, o idauenla i, o kapina Kot, o aramaj karoj, me udial met, ap kapikapina Kot.
