Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.
1MELEL, Kot kompoke pan men Ijrael, irail me makelekel nan monion arail.
2But as for me, my feet were almost gone. My steps had nearly slipped.
2A n ai, ekij ta, a na i kat pan lodi, o I koren io n krijedi ni ai kakakawei.
3For I was envious of the arrogant, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
3Pwe I juedeki me aklapalap akan, ni ai kila n er en me japu n akn ar pwaidar.
4For there are no struggles in their death, but their strength is firm.
4Pwe jota apwal kot lel o n irail ni ar pan mela, re kin kelail o war arail wilar melel.
5They are free from burdens of men, neither are they plagued like other men.
5Jota ar apwal kot dueta aramaj tei kan, o re jota pan kalokolok dueta aramaj tei kan.
6Therefore pride is like a chain around their neck. Violence covers them like a garment.
6Ari aklapalap, iei kapwat en tapin wor arail, o arail likau, iei arail tiak weit.
7Their eyes bulge with fat. Their minds pass the limits of conceit.
7Por en maj arail tikitik o jued kilar ar wilar, o re kin wiada, me re ino n io n .
8They scoff and speak with malice. In arrogance, they threaten oppression.
8Re kin mamaleki meakaroj, o re kin lokelokaia me jued, o re kin lalaue o lokaia ni ar aklapalap.
9They have set their mouth in the heavens. Their tongue walks through the earth.
9Dene arail lokaia tapi ja n nanla n , o me irail indinda, dene I eta me pu n ni jappa.
10Therefore their people return to them, and they drink up waters of abundance.
10I me aramaj akan lokididi o n irail; o pil totoia re kin nimala.
11They say, “How does God know? Is there knowledge in the Most High?”
11Re kin inda: Iaduen, Kot pan kotin injenoki irail? O menda ren me aklapalap irail?
12Behold, these are the wicked. Being always at ease, they increase in riches.
12Kila n , iduen me doo ja n Kot akan; irail meid pai nin jappa, o re pan kapwapwala.
13Surely I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocence,
13Iaduen, likamata jota katopa ai kamakelekeladar mo n io n i o kaminela pa i kat ni me pu n ?
14For all day long I have been plagued, and punished every morning.
14Pwe ran karoj i pan kalokolok, o ni manjan karoj ai kamekam mia.
15If I had said, “I will speak thus”, behold, I would have betrayed the generation of your children.
15Koren io n i pil pan indinda dueta irail, a jo, pwe i de pan juedeki japwilim omui jeri kan karoj ja n maj kokodo lel met.
16When I tried to understand this, it was too painful for me—
16I ap madamadaua duen mepukat, pwen dedeki, a i jota kak o n .
17until I entered God’s sanctuary, and considered their latter end.
17N ai lao pedelo n o n mon mol en Kot jaraui o kila n er imwin mo doo ja n Kot akan.
18Surely you set them in slippery places. You throw them down to destruction.
18Melel kom kotin pwili kin irail edi waja likakerij; kom kotin kapup irail edi o n nani pwel.
19How they are suddenly destroyed! They are completely swept away with terrors.
19Iaduen arail mada n joredier. Irail lokidokila, o imwila ’rail meid kamajapwek.
20As a dream when one wakes up, so, Lord, when you awake, you will despise their fantasies.
20Mai n Ieowa, kom kin kotin kawela mom arail nan kanim o dueta auramen.
21For my soul was grieved. I was embittered in my heart.
21Ni ai madak nan mo n io n i, o waiwairok nan ai mudilik kan,
22I was so senseless and ignorant. I was a brute beast before you.
22I ap diaradar, me n ai ol pweipwei men, me jota aja meakot; dueta man amen mo omui.
23Nevertheless, I am continually with you. You have held my right hand.
23Ari jo, i pan mimieta re omui kokolata, pwe komui kotin kolekol eta pa i pali maun.
24You will guide me with your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
24Komui kin kalua ia duen kupur omui, o kom pan kotin kajamo ia nan li n an omui.
25Whom do I have in heaven? There is no one on earth whom I desire besides you.
25Ma komui ta ai Kot, i jota pan anane meakot nanla n de jappa.
26My flesh and my heart fails, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
26Ma pali war ai o n en i pan dupokala, pil menda, pwe komui Mai n Kot kamait pa i o pwaij ai kokolata.
27For, behold, those who are far from you shall perish. You have destroyed all those who are unfaithful to you.
27Pwe kom kotin ma n i irail, me muei ja n komui pan lokidokila; Kom pan kotin kajapokela karoj, me wuki wei ja n komui.
28But it is good for me to come close to God. I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, that I may tell of all your works.
28A iet ai peren, i en te n ete n o n Kot, o i en kaporoporeki Kot leowa, pwen kalok jili omui wia wia kan karoj.
