Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1Then what advantage does the Jew have? Or what is the profit of circumcision?
1ARI, da me Juj akan paieki mon me tei kan de da kadepan jirkomjaij?
2Much in every way! Because first of all, they were entrusted with the revelations of God.
2O me toto, ni jon karoj; iet kaieu: Majan en Kot akan kanikid on irail.
3For what if some were without faith? Will their lack of faith nullify the faithfulness of God?
3A ma akai jopojon a pil menda? Pwe ar jopojon pan kak kawela kalanan en Kot?
4May it never be! Yes, let God be found true, but every man a liar. As it is written, “that you might be justified in your words, and might prevail when you come into judgment.”
4O jo! Pwe Kot udan melel, a aramaj karoj me likam duen a intinidier: Ir eta me pun ni ar majan akan, o komui pan kotin poedi ni ar pakadeikada.
5But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what will we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicts wrath? I speak like men do.
5A ma atail japun kaindinda pun en Kot, da me kitail en inda? Dadue, Kot me pil japun, pweki a kotin onion kida? I kin lokaia ni tiak en aramaj.
6May it never be! For then how will God judge the world?
6O jo! Pwe ma iduen, Kot pan kak kadeikada jappa?
7For if the truth of God through my lie abounded to his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?
7Pwe ma melel en Kot pwai kida ai likam kan, pwen kalinanada i, menda i pan pakadeikada, dene dipan amen nai?
8Why not (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), “Let’s do evil, that good may come?” Those who say so are justly condemned.
8A jo mau on duen at indand jued, pwe akai kin inda, me dene kit kin padaki wei: Kitail en wiada me jued, pwen kareda me mau? Nan arail kalokolok me pun.
9What then? Are we better than they? No, in no way. For we previously warned both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin.
9Iaduen atail pai mau jan arail? Kaidin, pwe je kadededar, me Juj o men Krik karoj mi pan dip,
10As it is written, “There is no one righteous; no, not one.
10Duen a intinidier: Jota me pun amen, jota amen.
11There is no one who understands. There is no one who seeks after God.
11Jota me lolekon amen, jota me kin rapaki Kot.
12They have all turned away. They have together become unprofitable. There is no one who does good, no, not so much as one.”
12Karoj me japunlar, irail wiaki eu mamalar, jota meamen, me kin wiada me mau, jota amen.
13“Their throat is an open tomb. With their tongues they have used deceit.” “The poison of vipers is under their lips.”
13Tapin wor arail me rajon joujou eu, me jaikenta jarep pena, lo arail me re liliapaki, wini en kamela mimi ni oton ni arail;
14“Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.”
14Au ar me dir en lalaue o katik,
15“Their feet are swift to shed blood.
15Na arail me marara on kamela aramaj;
16Destruction and misery are in their ways.
16Nan al arail me dir en jued omauk;
17The way of peace, they haven’t known.”
17A al en popol me re jaja;
18“There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
18Re jota kin majak Kot.
19Now we know that whatever things the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God.
19A kitail ajaer, me kapun o lolok on, me kin papa kapun pwe au karoj en japaimokid o jappa pon lodi on kadeik en Kot.
20Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight; for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.
20Ari mon Kot jota uduk me pan pun kila a wiawia kapun, pwe kapun me dip kadiarokidar;
21But now apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified by the law and the prophets;
21A anjau wet pun en Kot janjaledar likin kapun o kadedekidar kapun o jaukop akan.
22even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all and on all those who believe. For there is no distinction,
22A pun en Kot me pwili jan pojon Iejuj Krijtuj, ap lel on karoj me pojon.
23for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;
23Pwe jota lipilipil, karoj me wiadar dip o jota kak konodi linan en Kot.
24being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
24Irail pan pun kila a mak japan, pweki en Krijtuj Iejuj a kotin dore kitail lar,
25whom God sent to be an atoning sacrifice through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness through the passing over of prior sins, in God’s forbearance;
25Me Kot kotin kajanjaledar ni wiala mol en kalanan ni pojon nt’a, pwen kajanjaleda a pun nia kotin lapwada dip en maj akan, miier pan papadake en Kot.
26to demonstrate his righteousness at this present time, that he might himself be just and the justifier of him who has faith in Jesus.
26A anjau wet a kotin kadededa a pun. Ieteten, me pein i me pun, ap pan kotin kapunala Karoj me pojon Iejuj.
27Where then is the boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.
27Ari, ia men juaiki? A lokidokilar! Ren kapun da? En wiawia kan? Kaidin, a ren kapun en pojon.
28We maintain therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.
28Ari, iet me je inda: Aramaj en pun kila pojon a kaidin wiawia en kapun kan.
29Or is God the God of Jews only? Isn’t he the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also,
29De Kot en men Juj akan arail Kot eta? Kaidin pil Kot en men liki kan? Ei melel, pil en men liki!
30since indeed there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith.
30Ari, Kot me ta men, me kin kapun kila me jirkomjaij akan pweki pojon, pil jojirkomjaij akan pweki pojon.
31Do we then nullify the law through faith? May it never be! No, we establish the law.
31laduen, kitail kin tiakedi kapun pweki pojon? O jo! pwe kitail kin kapwaiada kapun o.
