Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1I tell the truth in Christ. I am not lying, my conscience testifying with me in the Holy Spirit
1NAI kin lokaia melel ren Krijtuj, o i jota kin likam, pwe injen ai o Nen jaraui kadede ia da,
2that I have great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart.
2Me i kin patautau o injenjued nan monion i kaukaule.
3For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brothers’ sake, my relatives according to the flesh
3Pwe pein nai inon ion en riala, pwen dooki wei jan Krijtuj pweki ri ai kan ni pali uduk.
4who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service, and the promises;
4lei men Ijrael me udan jeri en Ko t, me ar linan, o inau kan, o kapun, o upa Kot, o kokop akan mia,
5of whom are the fathers, and from whom is Christ as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God, blessed forever. Amen.
5Me jamaneki jam atail akan me Krijtuj pil tapi jan ia ni pali uduk a, me poedi meakaroj, iei Kot me iajanai kokolata, amen.
6But it is not as though the word of God has come to nothing. For they are not all Israel that are of Israel.
6Pwe kaidin dene majan en Kot jo pwaida, pwe kaidin karoj men Ijrael, me tikidar Ijrael;
7Neither, because they are Abraham’s offspring, are they all children. But, “your offspring will be accounted as from Isaac.”
7Pil kaidin karoj jeri kan, me kijan kadaudok en Apraam; pwe jan ren Ijaak kadaudok om pan tapi jan ia.
8That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as heirs.
8Ari, kaidin irail jeri en Kot akan, me jeri kan ni tiak en uduk, a jeri en inau kan pan wad on kadaudok o.
9For this is a word of promise: “At the appointed time I will come, and Sarah will have a son.”
9Pwe i majan, majan en inau eu: Ni anjau o I pan kodo, a Jara pan naitikada jeri ol amen.
10Not only so, but Rebekah also conceived by one, by our father Isaac.
10A kaidin i eta, pwe pil Repeka lao lijean on jam atail Ijaak.
11For being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him who calls,
11Pwe ni anjau jeri ko kaikenta ipwidier, o pil kaikenta wiadar meakot mau de me jued, o pwe kupur en Kot en pwaida, kaidin ni wiawia a ni lipilipil ren me piladar o,
12it was said to her, “The elder will serve the younger.”
12A kotin majani on i: Me laud o pan papa me tikitik!
13Even as it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
13Duen a intinidier: lakop me I pok on er, a Ejau me I likidmalielar.
14What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? May it never be!
14Ari, da me kitail en inda? Kot me japun? O jo!
15For he said to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”
15Pwe a kotin majani on Mojej: I pan maki on, me I men maki on, o I pan pokepoke, me I men pokepoke.
16So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who has mercy.
16Ari, jota katepa, ma amen pan pein inon ion de tane wei, a ma Kot pan kotin maki on amen.
17For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I caused you to be raised up, that I might show in you my power, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”
17Pwe kijin likau me katitiki on Parao: Nan iet me I kilele uk adar, pwe I en kajale kida uk ai manaman, o pwe mar ai en indandeki jili ni jap akan karoj.
18So then, he has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires.
18Ari, a kin kotin maki on, me a kotin kupura, ap kapitakaila, duen me a kotin mauki.
19You will say then to me, “Why does he still find fault? For who withstands his will?”
19Koe ap pan indan ia: Ari da me a kailon kin ia? Pwe ij me kak palian kupur a?
20But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, “Why did you make me like this?”
20Ei melel aramaj koe, ij koe, me men palian Kot? Da, dipijou pan indai on me wiadar i: Menda koe wiai on ia momuei?
21Or hasn’t the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel for honor, and another for dishonor?
21Pala jaun wiada dal jota manaman on, en wia kida lopon en pwel ota dal eu me kajelel, de eu me jakanekan?
22What if God, willing to show his wrath and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction,
22A Kot kotin kanonama on dal jued akan, me wiauier on lokidokila, ni a men kajaleda a onion o manaman,
23and that he might make known the riches of his glory on vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory—
23O a pil men kotin kajaleda a dir en linan ki dal en a mak kan, me a kotin kaonopadar maj o en linanla.
24us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles?
24Iei kitail, me a kotin waron do, kaidin jan ren Juj akan eta, a pil jan ren men liki kan.
25As he says also in Hosea, “I will call them ‘my people,’ which were not my people; and her ‘beloved,’ who was not beloved.”
25Duen a pil kotin majanier nan puk en Ojea: I pan kaadaneki irail, me kaidin nai, nai aramaj akan, o me jo kompoke pai, kompoke pai.
26“It will be that in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ there they will be called ‘children of the living God.’”
26A pan wiaui waja o me a loki on irail: Komail kaidin nai aramaj, i waja re pan adaneki jeri en Kot ieiaj.
27Isaiah cries concerning Israel, “If the number of the children of Israel are as the sand of the sea, it is the remnant who will be saved;
27A Iejaia likelikwir duen men Ijrael: Ma jeri en Ijrael akan pan raj on pik en oror, lua ta pan maurela. iej.
28for he will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, because the Lord will make a short work upon the earth.”
28Pwe a pan kotin kairela japwilim a dodok o kamode kila ni a pun, pwe Kaun o pan kotin wiada dok motomot nin jappa.
29As Isaiah has said before, “Unless the Lord of Armies had left us a seed, we would have become like Sodom, and would have been made like Gomorrah.”
29O duen Iejaia majanier maj o: Ma Kaun Jepaot jo nikideki on kitail kaparapar, kitail pan dueta Jodom o Komora.
30What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who didn’t follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith;
30Ari, da me kitail en inda duen men liki kan me jota rapaki pun, re diaradar pun, a pun eu, me tapi jan pojon.
31but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, didn’t arrive at the law of righteousness.
31A men Ijrael me inon ion kapwaiada kujoned en pun, ap jota konodi kujoned wet.
32Why? Because they didn’t seek it by faith, but as it were by works of the law. They stumbled over the stumbling stone,
32Pwekida? Pwekia jota tapi jan ni pojon a ni wiawia kan, pwe irail dipikelekeleki takai en dipikelekel.
33even as it is written, “Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and a rock of offense; and no one who believes in him will be disappointed.”
33Duen a intinidier: Kilan, I pajonedi takai eu nan Jion, takai en dipikelekel eu o paip en kamakar. A me pan pojon i, a jota pan jarodi.
