Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1Earnestly pursue love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy.
1Ngantjanani karipaterianau; jiglerali ngankanau Jaolaia poto manila, ja morla pirna, jura talpadakananto.
2For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men, but to God. Indeed, no one understands him; he utters mysteries in the Spirit.
2Ngangau warle tali pilkieli jatai, nau wata kanani, a‐ai, Godani jatai; wata kulnujeli jenia ngujamai, Jaolali nau kurukurula jatai.
3But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, encouragement, and comfort.
3Warle talpadakai, nau kanani jatai wotinaia, kurukurubanaia ja ngankalkanaia.
4The one who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but the one who prophesies edifies the church.
4Warle tali pilkieli jatai, nau munta wotiteriai; warle talpadakai, mili wolara wotiai.
5I wish that all of you could speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets so that the church may be edified.
5Ngato ngantjai, jura pratjana talieli jatananto, ja morla, jura talpadakananto; ngangau talpadakanietja morla pirna nganai tali pilki jatanietjani, windri nulu jenia bakana mildiri ngankananto mili wolara wotila.
6Now, brothers, if I come to you speaking in tongues, how will I benefit you, unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or teaching?
6Karari, ngatata worajai, ngani jurangu wokaranani tali pilki jatanietja, mina ngani jurangu ngumu nganai, ngato jurangu wata kaukaubanani tinkari ngankanali kara, ngujamanali kara, talpadakani jaurali kara, ngujangujarali kara?
7Even in the case of lifeless instruments, such as the flute or harp, how will anyone recognize the tune they are playing unless the notes are distinct?
7Wima poto tepi pani, wima koko kara, wima kata kara, taltjinganani ja ngaru wata pilki pilki ngankanani, worderu kanali ngujamananto mina tanali wima kokujeli pulkai kara, wima katali nandrai kara?
8Again, if the trumpet sounds a muffled call, who will prepare for battle?
8Ja wima koko ngaru walu jinkinani, worana ngankingaterinanto tirimalinaia?
9So it is with you. Unless you speak intelligible words with your tongue, how will anyone know what you are saying? You will just be speaking into the air.
9Jeruja bakana, jura tali pilkieli jaura karpakarpa jinkinani, worderu tanali jurani jaura ngujamananto? Jura jenipara nganala nganai, tanali ngaranani kaukaubai.
10Assuredly, there are many different languages in the world, yet none of them is without meaning.
10Tali nguja pilki pilki marapu mitani nganai, ja wata kulno tanangundru jaura pani wondrai.
11If, then, I do not know the meaning of someone’s language, I am a foreigner to the speaker, and he is a foreigner to me.
11Ngato talia ngundrana wata ngujamanani, ngani kaukaubanietjani tula nganai, ja kaukaubanietja ngakangu tula.
12It is the same with you. Since you are eager to have spiritual gifts, strive to excel in gifts that build up the church.
12Jeruja bakana jura, ngangau jura jigleri nganai jaolaia potuja, jigleri ngananau mili wolaraia wotinaia, jura pirna pantjinanto.
13Therefore, the one who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret.
13Jendrania tali pilki kaukaubanietja ngatjinanto, nulu jenia bakana mildiri ngankananto.
14For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful.
14Ngani tali pilkieli ngatjinani, ngani jaolali ngatjiai, ja tjuru ngakani tandra pani nganai.
15What then shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind. I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my mind.
15Mina karari? Ngani ngatjila nganai jaolali, ngani bakana ngatjila nganai tjurujeli; ngato wonkala nganai jaolali, ngato bakana wonkala nganai tjurujeli.
16Otherwise, if you speak a blessing in spirit, how can someone who is uninstructed say “Amen” to your thanksgiving, since he does not know what you are saying?
16Jundru Jaolali jurokokanani, worderu kana mangupunkujeli Amen jatananto jinkani jurakokanani, ngangau nau ko nganai mina jidni jatai.
17You may be giving thanks well enough, but the other one is not edified.
17Jundru ngumu jurakokai, windri jundru nguruni wata wotiai.
18I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you.
18Ngato Goda jurakokala wapaia, ngangau ngato tali pilkieli morla kaukaubai jurangu pratjanani.
19But in the church, I would rather speak five coherent words to instruct others than ten thousand words in a tongue.
19Mili wolarani ngato morla ngantjai jaura mara wora tjurujeli ngakanali kaukaubala, ngangau ngato bakana nguruni ngujangujara jinkinanto, jaura 10,000 talieli.
20Brothers, stop thinking like children. In regard to evil be infants, but in your thinking be mature.
20Ngatata worajai, wata kupa waka pantjianau tjurujeli, a‐ai, madlentjali kupa pantjianau; tjurujeli manamiri pantjianau.
21It is written in the Law: “By strange tongues and foreign lips I will speak to this people, but even then they will not listen to Me, says the Lord.”
21Jirijiribani jaurani dakanala parai: „Tali pilkieli ja manamimi pilkieli ngato tanangupini kana wolarani kaukaubala nganai, ja bakana wata jeruja tanali ngana ngarala nganai, Kapara jatai.“
22Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers, but for unbelievers. Prophecy, however, is for believers, not for unbelievers.
22Jeruja tali pilki malka nganai, wata tanangu, tanali morlalu ngundrai, a‐ai, tanangu, morlalu ngundrani panini; talpadakani wata tanangu, tana morlalu ngundrani panini, a‐ai, tanangu, tanali morlalu ngundrai.
23So if the whole church comes together and everyone speaks in tongues, and some who are uninstructed or some unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are out of your minds?
23Mili wolara jurborinani, ja pratjanali talieli kaukaubanani, ja kana patipati kara kana morlalu ngundrani panini kara wirinani, tana wata jatala nganai jura jirijiri?
24But if an unbeliever or uninstructed person comes in while everyone is prophesying, he will be convicted and called to account by all,
24Pratjanali talpadakanani, ja kana morlalu ngundrani panini kara kana patipati kulno kara wirinani, pratjanali nina karkarkala nganai, ja pratjana nulu ngundrala nganai.
25and the secrets of his heart will be made known. So he will fall facedown and worship God, proclaiming, “God is truly among you!”
25Ja nunkani ngaraia kurukurula tinkari pantjila nganai; ja jeruja nau mudlani woraterila nganai ja Godani ngatjila nganai, ja kaukaubala nganai, kantji Goda jurangunto nganai.
26What then shall we say, brothers? When you come together, everyone has a psalm or a teaching, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. All of these must be done to build up the church.
26Mina karari nganai, ngatata worajai? Jura jurborinani, kulnujeli Psalma kulno ngamalkai, nulu ngujangujara kulno ngamalkai, tinkari ngankani kulno kara, nulu jaura tali pilkieli ngamalkai, nulu mildiri ngankani kulno ngamalkai. Jenia pratjana wotinaia pantjiatimai!
27If anyone speaks in a tongue, two, or at most three, should speak in turn, and someone must interpret.
27Kulnujeli tali pilkieli kaukaubanani mandrujeli kara parkulali kara jelali kaukaubananto, wata morla, ja kulnulu kulnulali, ja kulnujeli jenia mildiri ngankananto.
28But if there is no interpreter, he should remain silent in the church and speak only to himself and God.
28Mildiri ngankanietja wata naka ngananani, nau ngapu nganananto mili wolarani. Nulu muntali ja Godani kaukaubananto.
29Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said.
29Propheta mandrujeli kara parkulali kara kaukaubananto, tanali palpali jenia wontjananto.
30And if a revelation comes to someone who is seated, the first speaker should stop.
30Kulnuni, nau naka ngamanani, jaura tinkari pantjinani, ngoperala ngapurinanto.
31For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged.
31Jura kulnulu kulnulali talpadakananto, ngangau pratjana kiririnanto, ja pratjanali kurukurubani maninanto.
32The spirits of prophets are subject to prophets.
32Prophetaia jaolali Prophetani wodatarana ngamai;
33For God is not a God of disorder, but of peace—as in all the churches of the saints.
33Ngangau Goda wata tjautjauja, a‐ai, murlaia Goda nganai.
34Women are to be silent in the churches. They are not permitted to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says.
34Worderu mili wolara kulikirini pratjanani, jeruja bakana widla jurani mili wolarani ngapu nganananto; ngangau tanangu wata manuni kurala wapaia jatananto, a‐ai, tana wodatarana ngamananto, worderu bakana jirijiribani jaura jatai.
35If they wish to inquire about something, they are to ask their own husbands at home; for it is dishonorable for a woman to speak in the church.
35Tanali ngantjanani kiririla, tanali pungani noa tanani jakalkananto; ngangau widlani wata ngumu parai, mili wolarani kaukaubala.
36Did the word of God originate with you? Or are you the only ones it has reached?
36Jurangundru kara Godaia jaura dunkana wonti? Nauja kara windri jurangu wokarana wonti?
37If anyone considers himself a prophet or spiritual person, let him acknowledge that what I am writing you is the Lord’s command.
37Kulnujeli ngundranani nau Propheta nganai kara kana jaolanto kara, nulu ngujamaiatimai, mina ngato jurangu dakala wapaia, ngangau jenia Kaparaia jirijiribani jaura nganai.
38But if anyone ignores this, he himself will be ignored.
38Kulnu jenia wata ngujamanani, nulu wata ngujamaiatimai.
39So, my brothers, be eager to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues.
39Jeruja, ngatata worajai, jigleri ngankanau talpadakala, ja tali pilkieli kaukaubala wata ngandrawalkanau.
40But everything must be done in a proper and orderly manner.
40Pratjana ngumu ja talku pantjiatimai.
