Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1Now for the matters you wrote about: It is good to abstain from sexual relations.
1Nunkangundru, mina jura ngakangu dakanala, ngani jatai: Ngumu nganai kanani, nulu widla wata karanani;
2But because there is so much sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband.
2Windri palakantjindru materali widla nunkani ngamalkaiatimai, ja widlali materi nankani ngamalkaiatimai.
3The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband.
3Materali widlani jinkinanto, mina nulu nankangu wilpanto nganai; jeruja bakana widlali materani.
4The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife.
4Widlali nankani palkuni wata ngurula ngamalkai, a‐ai, materali; jeruja bakana materali nunkani palkuni wata ngurula ngamalkai, a‐ai, widlali.
5Do not deprive each other, except by mutual consent and for a time, so you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again, so that Satan will not tempt you through your lack of self-control.
5Wata kulno ngadatikibau kulnuni, windri judla kulnukulnuni ngananani miljaru kulnuwirdi, jura ngara ngamani ngamalkananto milja ngamanaia ja ngatjinaia; ja nakaldra jelarialumai, Satanali judlana wontjaiati judlani waltowaltundru.
6I say this as a concession, not as a command.
6Jenia ngani jatai manuni kurana jeribaka, ja wata jirijiribana jeribaka.
7I wish that all men were as I am. But each man has his own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that.
7Ngato ngantjai, kana pratjana ngakangu jeribaka nganananto; windri pratjana pilkipilkieli Godandru nunkani manjulaia poto pilki ngamalkai, kulnujeli jeruja, kulnujeli jeruja.
8Now to the unmarried and widows I say this: It is good for them to remain unmarried, as I am.
8Ngani mantakani ja mangawaruni jatai: Tanangu ngumu nganai, tana ngakangu jeribaka ngamanani.
9But if they cannot control themselves, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
9Tana ngandandarinani ngamalkaterila, tanali noa patananto; ngangau morla ngumu nganai, tanali noa patanani, baka pirna ketjaketjanani.
10To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband.
10Tanangu pintani ngato jirijiribai, wata ngato, a‐ai, Kaparali, widla materandru wata puntibateriatimai;
11But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife.
11Nani kantji puntibaterinani, nandru noa pani ngamananto kara, materani murlali pantjinanto kara; ja materali widla wata worarananto.
12To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If a brother has an unbelieving wife and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her.
12Tanangu nguruni ngani jatai, wata Kapara: Ngatata kulnujeli noa ngamalkanani, nandru wata morlalu ngundranani, ja nandru kulnukulnuni ngananani nunkangu jela ngamala, nulu nana wata worarananto.
13And if a woman has an unbelieving husband and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him.
13Bakana widlali noa ngamalkanani, nulu wata morlalu ngundranani, ja nulupini kulnukulnuni ngananani nankangu jela ngamala, nandru nina wata worarananto.
14For the unbelieving husband is sanctified through his believing wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.
14Ngangau materi, nulu wata morlalu ngundranani, kulikiri nganai widlani; ja widla, wata morlalu ngundranani, kulikiri nganai materani; jenia wata ngananani, kupa jurani murumuru ngananani, karari tana kulikiri nganai.
15But if the unbeliever leaves, let him go. The believing brother or sister is not bound in such cases. God has called you to live in peace.
15Nulu wata morlalu ngundranani, nau puntinanto; ngatata kara, kaku kara, tanangupini potuni wata dupudupu nganai. Murlani Godali ngaianina karkana warai;
16How do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?
16Ngangau jundru milkila, widlajai, jundru materi kulkala nganai kara? Jidni milkila, materiai, jundru widla kulkala nganai kara?
17Regardless, each one should lead the life that the Lord has assigned to him and to which God has called him. This is what I prescribe in all the churches.
17Windri worderu Kaparali kulnuni jinkina warai, worderu Godali kulno karkana warai, jeruja nau wirarinanto. Ja jeruja ngato mili wolara pratjanani jirijiribai.
18Was a man already circumcised when he was called? He should not become uncircumcised. Was a man still uncircumcised when called? He should not be circumcised.
18Nulia kulno karuwalila karkana warai, nulu wata karuwalila panini jeri ngankaterinanto; Nulia kulno karuwalila panini karkana warai, nulu wata karuwalila pantjinanto.
19Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Keeping God’s commandments is what counts.
19Karuwalila panila nganai, ja karuwalila panini panila nganai, windri Godaia jirijiribani jaura ngamalkala.
20Each one should remain in the situation he was in when he was called.
20Pratjana nunkangupini karkanilani ngamaiatinimai, nunkanali Nulia tanana matja karkana.
21Were you a slave when you were called? Do not let it concern you—but if you can gain your freedom, take the opportunity.
21Jidni kanaia mili matja karkana, wata manujeli ngundrau, jidni ngurunguru nganai kurakaterila, kurakateriau!
22For he who was a slave when he was called by the Lord is the Lord’s freedman. Conversely, he who was a free man when he was called is Christ’s slave.
22Ngangau worana Kaparani kanaia mili matja karkana, nau Kaparaia kurakanila nganai; jeruja bakana, worana kurakanila matja karkana, nau Christuja mili nganai.
23You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men.
23Kalala pirnali Nulia jurana burungankana wonti; wata kanaia mili pantjianau!
24Brothers, each one should remain in the situation he was in when God called him.
24Ngatata worajai, pratjana nunkangu ngamananto Godani, worderu Nulia nina karkana warai.
25Now about virgins, I have no command from the Lord, but I give a judgment as one who by the Lord’s mercy is trustworthy.
25Mankarandru ngato wata Kaparaia jirijiribani jaura ngamalkai: ngato ngundrana ngankani kaukaubai, ngangau ngato Kaparandru kalumiltjamiltjarina manina wonti morlalu ngundrani nganala.
26Because of the present crisis, I think it is good for a man to remain as he is.
26Jeruja ngato ngundrai, jenia ngumu nganai karari ketjaketjanandru, jenia kana kulnuni ngumu nganai jeruja nganala.
27Are you committed to a wife? Do not seek to be released. Are you free of commitment? Do not look for a wife.
27Jidni widlani workamantraterina warai, wata wontiau nana worarala; jundru widla pani ngananani, wata widla wontiau.
28But if you do marry, you have not sinned. And if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But those who marry will face troubles in this life, and I want to spare you this.
28Jundru kantji noa patana warai, jundru wata madlentji ngankana warai; ja mankarali noa patana warai, nandru bakana wata madlentji ngankana warai. Ketjaketjana palkujeli tanali ngamalkala nganai; ngato jurana kulkananto.
29What I am saying, brothers, is that the time is short. From now on those who have wives should live as if they had none;
29Jenia ngani jatai, ngatata worajai, miljaru wordu nganai; ngangau bakana tanana, tanali noa ngamalkai, nganananto noa pani jeribaka; ja tana jindrala wapaia, jindrana pani jeribaka nganananto;
30those who weep, as if they did not; those who are joyful, as if they were not; those who make a purchase, as if they had nothing;
30Ja tana mankila wapaia, mankina pani jeribaka nganananto; ja tanali burungankala wapaia, poto pani jeribaka nganananto.
31and those who use the things of this world, as if not dependent on them. For this world in its present form is passing away.
31Ja tanali ninapini mita ngamalkala wapaia, wata ngamalkana jeribaka nganananto; ngangau nunkanipini mitaia mudla mudai.
32I want you to be free from concern. The unmarried man is concerned about the work of the Lord, how he can please the Lord.
32Ngato ngantjai, jura manujeli ngundrani pani nganananto. Mantaka materali manujeli ngundrai mina Kaparaia nganai, worderu nau Godaia ngantjani nganananto.
33But the married man is concerned about the affairs of this world, how he can please his wife,
33Warle noa patana warai, mitaia manujeli ngundrai, worderu nau widlaia ngantjani nganananto.
34and his interests are divided. The unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the work of the Lord, how she can be holy in both body and spirit. But the married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world, how she can please her husband.
34Pilkipilki nganai widlani ja mankarani. Mantaka widlali manujeli ngundrai mina Kaparaia nganai, nani kulikiri nganananto palkujeli ja jaolali; nandru matja noa patana, nana manujeli ngundrai mina mitaia nganai, worderu nani materaia ngantjani nganananto.
35I am saying this for your own good, not to restrict you, but in order to promote proper decorum and undivided devotion to the Lord.
35Jenia ngani jatai jurani ngumuja; ngato jurangu wata minti worananto, a‐ai, ngangau jenia ngumu nganai, jura milingeru ja wonki Kaparani nganananto.
36However, if someone thinks he is acting inappropriately toward his betrothed, and if she is beyond her youth and they ought to marry, let him do as he wishes; he is not sinning; they should get married.
36Kulnujeli ngundranani, nunkani mankarani nintali nganai, ngangau nunkani mankaraia ditji mudaiati, ja jenia jeruja pantjinanto, nulu ngankaiatimai mina nau jertapateriai, nulu wata madlentji ngankai; nana noa patananto.
37But the man who is firmly established in his heart and under no constraint, with control over his will and resolve in his heart not to marry the virgin, he will do well.
37Warle ngarali ngurunguru ngundranani, ja nunkangu wata nankanankana parai, ja ngurula ngamalkai nunkani jertapaterinani, ja nunkani ngarani jenia ngundrana warai, nunkani mankara ngamalkijiribala, nulu ngumu ngankai.
38So then, he who marries the virgin does well, but he who does not marry her does even better.
38Jeruja nulu ngumu ngankai, nulu noa patai; ja nulupini, nulu wata noa patai, nulu morla ngumu ngankai.
39A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, as long as he belongs to the Lord.
39Widla workamandrana nganai jirijiribani jaurandru, jeruntjaia ditji noa nankani tepi nganai; nankani noa matja palinani, nani kurakani nganai noa kulno patala worana nandru ngantjai, windri Kaparani.
40In my judgment, however, she is happier if she remains as she is. And I think that I too have the Spirit of God.
40Nani morla murlali nganai, nani jeruja ngamanani, worderu ngato ngundrai. Ngato ngundrai, ngato bakana Godaia Jaola ngamalkai.
