Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1Hear this, all you peoples. Listen, all you inhabitants of the world,
1Komail kainok kan karoj ro n o dedeki, komail toun jap karoj.
2both low and high, rich and poor together.
2Ir karoj, aramaj o jaupeidi, ir karoj me kapwapwa o jamama kan!
3My mouth will speak words of wisdom. My heart will utter understanding.
3Au ai pan kaparok duen loleko n , o mo n io n I duen lamalam pu n .
4I will incline my ear to a proverb. I will solve my riddle on the harp.
4I pan kapaike do n jalo n ai lepen majan, o i pan kajaleda me rir akan ni n il en arp.
5Why should I fear in the days of evil, when iniquity at my heels surrounds me?
5Da me i en majak ni ran apwal akan, ma me japu n kan kapil ia pena,
6Those who trust in their wealth, and boast in the multitude of their riches—
6Me kin kaporoporeki ar dipijou o juaiki ar kapwa toto?
7none of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give God a ransom for him.
7Pwe jota me kak dorela ri a, de tomeki i ren Kot,
8For the redemption of their life is costly, no payment is ever enough,
8(Pwe meid apwal, en dorela n en ar; a jota pan pwaida kokolata).
9that he should live on forever, that he should not see corruption.
9Pwen maur potopot o jota kila n joujou o.
10For he sees that wise men die; likewise the fool and the senseless perish, and leave their wealth to others.
10Pwe a kin kila n , me loleko n kan kin mela dueta me pweipwei o iakalar akan, o re pan mueid o n amen ar dipijou kan.
11Their inward thought is that their houses will endure forever, and their dwelling places to all generations. They name their lands after themselves.
11I me re kin peren kida, ma im arail pan duedueta, o deu ’rail pan mimieta kokolata; o re konekon melel nin jappa.
12But man, despite his riches, doesn’t endure. He is like the animals that perish.
12Ari jo, aramaj me konekon jota kak mimieta ni mepukat, pwe a pan kokowei dueta man amen.
13This is the destiny of those who are foolish, and of those who approve their sayings. Selah.
13let ar wiawia pukat meid pweipwei; ari jo, kadaudok ar kin kapi n a ki au arail.
14They are appointed as a flock for Sheol. Death shall be their shepherd. The upright shall have dominion over them in the morning. Their beauty shall decay in Sheol, far from their mansion.
14Re wonon nan wajan mela dueta pwin jip; mela kin kama n a ir; a me lelapok kan pan kaun irail da mada n , o mom ar pan joredi, o re pan doo ja n deurail, mimieta nan pweleko.
15But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol, for he will receive me. Selah.
15A Kot pan kotin dorela n en i jan nan mana en wajan mela, pwe a pan kotin japwilimane kin ia.
16Don’t be afraid when a man is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;
16Koe der puriamuiki, ma amen pan kapwapwala, o ma li n an en im a pan laudala.
17for when he dies he will carry nothing away. His glory won’t descend after him.
17Pwe a jota pan wala meakot ni a pan mela, o a li n an jota pan idauenla i.
18Though while he lived he blessed his soul— and men praise you when you do well for yourself—
18A kin injenemau kila peren en maur kajelel wet, o aramaj kin kapi n a ir, me kin apapwali pein ir eta ni maur et.
19he shall go to the generation of his fathers. They shall never see the light.
19A pan idauen la jam a kan, ap jolar kila n marain kokolata.
20A man who has riches without understanding, is like the animals that perish.
20Ari, ma aramaj amen indand mau, ap jota a lamalam, a pan kokowei dueta man amen.
