Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1Jesus answered and spoke to them again in parables, saying,
1A IEJUJ kotin japen o pil karajeraj on irail majani:
2“The Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who made a wedding feast for his son,
2Wein nanlan raj on nanmarki amen, me kamadipe na ol ni ran en a kapapaud.
3and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come.
3O a kadarala na ladu kan, pwen luke don kamadip o, me kileledier akan; a re kan kodo.
4Again he sent out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “Behold, I have prepared my dinner. My cattle and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding feast!”’
4A pil kadarala akai ladu majani: Kaireki me kileledier akan: Kilan, i kaonopadar ai kamadip o: nai kau ol o man wi kan me kamelar, o karoj nikier, ko don kamadip en kapapaud!
5But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise;
5A irail jota injenoki, ap kowei, amen nan japwe, o amen ko on dodok.
6and the rest grabbed his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them.
6A me tei kan jaikidi a ladu kan kaloke o kame ir ala.
7When the king heard that, he was angry, and sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
7Nanmarki ap makara kidar, kadarala a jaunpei kan, kamela me lolap oko o ijikedar ar kanim
8“Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited weren’t worthy.
8A ap indan a ladu kan: Ari, kamadip onoper, a me kileledier akan jota war on.
9Go therefore to the intersections of the highways, and as many as you may find, invite to the wedding feast.’
9Komail ari kowei nan al akan, a karoj me komail diar, en kalua don kamadip o.
10Those servants went out into the highways and gathered together as many as they found, both bad and good. The wedding was filled with guests.
10Ladu kan ap kola nani al akan, kapokon pena karoj, me irail diaradar, me jued o me mau kan kamadip ari tounlar.
11“But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who didn’t have on wedding clothing,
11A nanmarki lao pwarado, en kilan toun kamadip, ap diaradar aramaj amen, me jota a kapwat,
12and he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here not wearing wedding clothing?’ He was speechless.
12A ap majani on i: Kompoke pai, iaduen om kak pedelon, pwe jota om kapwat? I ari japai mokid.
13Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and throw him into the outer darkness. That is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.’
13Nanmarki ap majani on papa kan: Jaliedi i pa o na akan, ale o kajapokela nan rotorot liki iei wajan maiei o teterok.
14For many are called, but few chosen.”
14Pwe me toto paekeredo, a me malaulau piladar.
15Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how they might entrap him in his talk.
15Parijar ap pokon pena, kaparok pena duen ar pan kajapuna i jan a majan;
16They sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are honest, and teach the way of God in truth, no matter whom you teach; for you aren’t partial to anyone.
16Irail ap kadaralan i nairail tounpadak kan ianaki ladun Erodej kan, potoan on: Jaunpadak, je aja, ir me kotin melel, o kotin kawewe melel duen al en Kot o re jota kotin kupuroki meamen, pwe re jota kotin kajampwaleki janjal en aramaj.
17Tell us therefore, what do you think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
17Ari, re kotin majani on kit kupur ar. Me pun, en nopwei on nanmarki de jo?
18But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, “Why do you test me, you hypocrites?
18A Iejuj lao kotin mani ar me juet, ap majani: Malaun komail, da me komail kajonejon kin ia?
19Show me the tax money.” They brought to him a denarius.
19Kajale don ia moni en nopwei! Irail ap potoan on i denar eu.
20He asked them, “Whose is this image and inscription?”
20A kotin majani on irail: Mom en ij o intin wet?
21They said to him, “Caesar’s.” Then he said to them, “Give therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
21Irail potoan on i: En nanmarki, a i kotin majani on irail: Ari, komail ki on nanmarki, me nain nanmarki, o on Kot, me japwilim en Kot.
22When they heard it, they marveled, and left him and went away.
22Irail lao ronadar met, rap puriamuiki o muei jan i, o koin lar.
23On that day Sadducees (those who say that there is no resurrection) came to him. They asked him,
23Ran ota Jadujar akai ko don i, me kin inda, me dene me melar akan jolar pan maureda, ap kalelapok re a.
24saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.’
24Indada: Jaunpadak, Mojej majani, ma meamen melar o jota na jeri, ri a ol en id paudeki a paud, pwen kaipwi on ri a kadaudok a.
25Now there were with us seven brothers. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother.
25Ari, pwin pirien eu mi re at, ol ijimen. Mejeni paudeki li amen, ap melar, a jota kadaudok a, ap kakaliki on ri a ol a paud;
26In the same way, the second also, and the third, to the seventh.
26Pil dueta kariamen o kajili men kokola lao kaijimen.
27After them all, the woman died.
27A ikmuri li o pil melar.
28In the resurrection therefore, whose wife will she be of the seven? For they all had her.”
28Ari; ni en me melar akan ar pan iajada, a pan en ij a paud ren me ijimen, pwe irail karoj me paudekidar i?
29But Jesus answered them, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.
29A Iejuj kotin japen majani on irail: Komail meid japun pwe komail jo weweki kijin likau kan de mana en Kot.
30For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like God’s angels in heaven.
30Pwe me mauredar akan jolar pan papaud de kapapaud, pwe irail dueta tounlan en Kot akan, me mimi nanlan.
31But concerning the resurrection of the dead, haven’t you read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,
31Komail jaik doropwe duen en melar akan ar pan maureda, me lolok on komail jan ren Kot, me kotin majani:
32‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”
32Nai Kot en Apraam o en Ijaak o en Iakop? A kaidin Kot en me melar akan, pwe en me maur akan.
33When the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.
33A pokon o lao ronadar met, irail ap puriamuiki a padak.
34But the Pharisees, when they heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, gathered themselves together.
34A Parijar akan lao ronadar, me a kotin kadukiedier Jadujar akan, ap pokon pena.
35One of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, testing him.
35Amen irail, jaunkawewe men, kajonjon i potoan on:
36“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?”
36Jaunpadak, kujoned da me lapalap nan kapun o?
37Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’
37A Iejuj kotin majani on i: Koe en pokeki on Kot om Kaun monion om unjok, o nen om unjok, o om lamelam unjok.
38This is the first and great commandment.
38lei met me moa en kujoned akan.
39A second likewise is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
39O me kariau me dueta: Koe en pok on men imp om dueta on pein koe.
40The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.”
40Kujoned riau met me audepan kapun o jaukop akan.
41Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question,
41Ni en Parijar akan ar momod pena, Iejuj ap kotin kainoma re ’rail.
42saying, “What do you think of the Christ? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “Of David.”
42Majani: Da me komail lamelame duen Krijtuj, nain ij i? Re potoan on: Japwilim en Dawid.
43He said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call him Lord, saying,
43A kotin majani on irail: A iaduen da me Dawid kaadaneki i Kaun ren Nen ni a majani:
44‘The Lord said to my Lord, sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet’?
44Kaun o kotin majani on ai Kaun, mondi on ni pali maun i, lao I pan wia kida om imwintiti utipan na om?
45“If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?”
45A iaduen, ma Dawid kaadaneki i Kaun, a pil pan kak na ol?
46No one was able to answer him a word, neither did any man dare ask him any more questions from that day forward.
46A jota amen, me kak japenki i meakot, o jolar me idok meakot re a kokolata.
