Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1Paul came to Derbe and then to Lystra, where he found a disciple named Timothy, the son of a believing Jewish woman and a Greek father.
1Nau Derbangu ja Lystrangu wokarana wonti. Ja mai, mili kulno naka nganana wonti, tala nunkani Timotheus, Juda widlaia ngatani, nandru morlalu ngundrana wonti, ja ngaperi nunkani Griekala nganana wonti;
2The brothers in Lystra and Iconium spoke well of him.
2Ngatatajeli Lystrangu ja Ikoniungu ngumu tinkari ngankana wonti nunkangundru.
3Paul wanted Timothy to accompany him, so he took him and circumcised him on account of the Jews in that area, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
3Paulus jertapaterina wonti ninapini manina kurala nunkangunto; ja nulu nina patana wonti, ja nina karuwali ngankana wonti, tanangupini Juda kanandru, tana tanangupini ngurani ngamana wonti; ngangau tanali pratjanali nunkani ngaperandru milkila nganana wonti, nau Griekala nganana wonti.
4As they went from town to town, they delivered the decisions handed down by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem for the people to obey.
4Tana ngura worana palkinganani, tanali tanangu jirijiribani jaura jinkina wonti ngamalkananto, tanana Apostel worali ja pinaru worali Jerusalemingu kurana paranani.
5So the churches were strengthened in the faith and grew daily in numbers.
5Mili wolara morlalu ngundranali ngurunguru pantjina wonti, ja morla marapurina wonti ditji pratjanani.
6After the Holy Spirit had prevented them from speaking the word in the province of Asia, they traveled through the region of Phrygia and Galatia.
6Tana Phrygiani ja Galitia mitani palkingana wonti, ja Jaola kulikirieli tanana daudauana wonti Asiani jaura kaukaubala.
7And when they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not permit them.
7Tana Mysia wondirani matja wokaranani, tanali wontjana wonti Bithynianaia palkala; ja Jaolali tanangu wata manuni kurana wonti.
8So they passed by Mysia and went down to Troas.
8Tana Mysiangu matja palkingana, tana Troasangu ngarina wonti.
9During the night, Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and pleading with him, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.”
9Ja mudla kulno tinkani Paulungu wondraterina wonti; Macedonia kana kulno naka terkana wonti, ja nunkangu ngatjina wonti ja jatana wonti: „Jera pararau Macedoniaia ja ngaianingu marangokau!“
10As soon as Paul had seen the vision, we got ready to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.
10Nulu nina mudla matja najina, ngaiana jertapaterina wonti nurujeli Macedoniaia palkala, ngangau ngaiana morlalu ngujamana wonti, Kaparali ngaianana karkana wonti, tanangu ngantjani jaura kaukaubala.
11We sailed from Troas straight to Samothrace, and the following day on to Neapolis.
11Ngaiana Troasangundru pararana wonti ja palto talkuni Samothracengu wokarana wonti, ja ditji kulnuni Neapo lisingu;
12From there we went to the Roman colony of Philippi, the leading city of that district of Macedonia. And we stayed there several days.
12Ja nakangundruka Philippingu, naupini nunkanipini Macedonia mitaia buruni ngura ngoperala nganai, ngura kapara. Ngaiana nunkangupini ngurani ditji palpa ngamana wonti.
13On the Sabbath we went outside the city gate along the river, where it was customary to find a place of prayer. After sitting down, we spoke to the women who had gathered there.
13Ja Sabbat ditjini ngaiana ngurandru palaraia dunkana wonti kaiari kulnuja dirkalani, woderi ngatjini piri nganana wonti, ja ngaiana ngamana ngarina wonti ja widlani kaukaubana wonti, tana naka mapaterinani.
14Among those listening was a woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth from the city of Thyatira, who was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul’s message.
14Ja widla kulnujeli, tala nankani Lydia, nani kati maralje jinkinietja Thyatira ngurandru, nani Godandru japali nganana wonti, ngarana wonti; ja nana ngara Kaparali kalupakibana wonti jenia ngundrala, mina Paululu kaukaubana wonti.
15And when she and her household had been baptized, she urged us, “If you consider me a believer in the Lord, come and stay at my house.” And she persuaded us.
15Nandru ja nankani pungalali matja multibanila manina, nana ngaianana kurukurubana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Jura ngundranani, ngato Kaparani morlalu ngundrai, ngakani pungani wirianau ja jerra ngamanau.“ Ja nandru ngaianana mararibana wonti.
16One day as we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a slave girl with a spirit of divination, who earned a large income for her masters by fortune-telling.
16Jendranguta ngaiana ngatjila wapanani, widla mili ngaianangu mandurina wonti, nandru kutjia talpadakani jaola ngamalkana wonti, nandru nankani kaparani kalala marapu jinkina wonti talpadakandru.
17This girl followed Paul and the rest of us, shouting, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who are proclaiming to you the way of salvation!”
17Nani Paulungu ja ngaianangu wapantina wonti ja maritjina wonti ja jatana wonti: „Tanapini kana Goda pirnaia mili nganai, tanali jurangu murlaia palto kaukaubai.“
18She continued this for many days. Eventually Paul grew so aggravated that he turned and said to the spirit, “In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her!” And the spirit left her at that very moment.
18Jenia nandru ditji marapuni ngankana wonti. Paulus kalapankarina wonti ja karitjinawontikana wonti ja jaolani jatana wonti: „Ngato jinkangu Jesuja Christuja talani jirijiribai, jidni nankangundru dunkananto!“ Ja nau dunkana wonti nunkangupini ditjini.
19When the girl’s owners saw that their hope of making money was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them before the authorities in the marketplace.
19Nankani kaparali matja najina, tanani manginia kalkanani matja dunkana, tanali Paulus ja Silas patana wonti, ja pudlana jurborini piria parumana wonti ngaraia kaparani,
20They brought them to the magistrates and said, “These men are Jews and are throwing our city into turmoil
20Ja pudlana kapakaparani wapalkana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Pudlalipini kanali ngura ngaianani patijiritjibai, ja Juda kana nganai.
21by promoting customs that are unlawful for us Romans to adopt or practice.”
21Ja pudlali jenia mangini kaukaubai, tanali ngaiani wata patananto ja wata ngankananto, ngangau ngaiani Romala nganai.“
22The crowd joined in the attack against Paul and Silas, and the magistrates ordered that they be stripped and beaten with rods.
22Ja kana wolaraia ngara pudlangu tutututungana wonti; ja kapakaparali jirijiribana wonti, pudlani kati puribala, ja pudlana nandrala.
23And after striking them with many blows, they threw them into prison and ordered the jailer to guard them securely.
23Ja tanali pudlangu nandrani marapu matja jinkina, tanali pudlana kanjangari pungani widmana wonti, ja kanjangari pungaia najinajibanietjani jirijiribana wonti, pudlana jiglerali najinajibala.
24On receiving this order, he placed them in the inner cell and fastened their feet in the stocks.
24Nulu ninapini jirijiribani jaura matja manina, nulu pudlana kanjangari punga mandrani widmana wonti, ja pudlani tidna workamandrana wonti pitani ngurunguru.
25About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.
25Tinka tertini karakara Paululu ja Silasili ngatjina wonti ja Goda jurakokana wonti; ja kanjangarilali pudlana ngarana wonti.
26Suddenly a strong earthquake shook the foundations of the prison. At once all the doors flew open and everyone’s chains came loose.
26Nurujeli mita wiltjiwiltjina pirna pantjina wonti, jeruja kanjangari pungaia wotini wijawijabaterina wonti, ja nurujeli kanjangari pungaia mana pratjana walturina wonti, ja pratjanaia kanjangari dukaraterina wonti.
27When the jailer woke up and saw the prison doors open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, presuming that the prisoners had escaped.
27Kanjangari pungaia najinajibanietja mukandru matja jiritjina, ja kanjangari pungaia mana walto ngananani najina, nulu mardakirra dukarana wonti, ja jertapaterina wonti munta nari ngankaterila, ngangau nulu ngundrana wonti, kanjangarila kutingana warai.
28But Paul called out in a loud voice, “Do not harm yourself! We are all here!”
28Paulus ngaiala pirnali karkana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Wata madlentji ngankateriau! ngangau ngaiani pratjana ninkida nganai.“
29Calling for lights, the jailer rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas.
29Nulu praitji karkana wonti, ja mindrina wirina wonti, ja ngarrana wonti, ja Paulungu ja Silangu tidnani woraterina wonti.
30Then he brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
30Ja nulu pudlana dunkalkana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Kapara wulujai, mina ngato ngankananto kulkani manila?“
31They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, you and your household.”
31Pudla jatana wonti: „Kaparani Jesungu Christungu morlalu ngundrau, jeruja jundru ja jinkani pungalali kulkani manila nganai.“
32Then Paul and Silas spoke the word of the Lord to him and to everyone in his house.
32Ja pudla Kaparaia jaura nunkangu, ja pratjanani, tana pungani nunkanani ngamanani, kaukaubana wonti.
33At that hour of the night, the jailer took them and washed their wounds. And without delay, he and all his household were baptized.
33Ja nulu pudlana nunkangupini tinkaia ditjini patana wonti, ja pudlani tapa kulirkana wonti, ja nurujeli nulu ja nunkani pungalali multibanila manina wonti.
34Then he brought them into his home and set a meal before them. So he and all his household rejoiced that they had come to believe in God.
34Ja nulu pudlana nunkani pungaia taralkana wonti, ja pudlangu buka kurana wonti ja mankina wonti, ngangau nulu nunkani pungalantali Godani morlalu ngundrana pantjina warai.
35When daylight came, the magistrates sent their officers with the order: “Release those men.”
35Matja ditjirina, kapakaparali nguraia mili jinpana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Pudlanapini kana jinpau!“
36The jailer informed Paul: “The magistrates have sent orders to release you. Now you may go on your way in peace.”
36Kanjangari najinajibanietjali tananapini jaura Paulungu kaukaubana wonti: „Kapakaparali jinpana warai judlana kurakananto; karari wapalumai, ja murlanto palkalumai!“
37But Paul said to the officers, “They beat us publicly without a trial and threw us into prison, even though we are Roman citizens. And now do they want to send us away secretly? Absolutely not! Let them come themselves and escort us out!”
37Paulus tanangu jatana wonti: „Tanali ngalina tinkari ja kalala kurani jaura panini nandrala wiri, ngali Romala terkai, ja ngalina kanjangari pungani widmala wiri, ja karari tanali ngalina kurukuru wailpananto? Wata jeruja, a‐ai, tana munta wokarananto ja ngalina dunkalkananto.“
38So the officers relayed this message to the magistrates, who were alarmed to hear that Paul and Silas were Roman citizens.
38Nguraia milieli kapakaparani tananapini jaura padakana wonti; ja tana japali pantjina wonti, tanali ngaranani, pudla Romala nganai.
39They came to appease them and led them out, requesting that they leave the city.
39Ja tana wokarana wonti, ja pudlana kurukurubana wonti, ja pudlana dunkalkana wonti, ja pudlangu ngatjina wonti ngurandru puntinanto.
40After Paul and Silas came out of the prison, they went to Lydia’s house to see the brothers and encourage them. Then they left the city.
40Pudla kanjangari pungandru matja dunkana, pudla Lydianangu wapana wonti; ja pudla ngatata wora matja najina ja ngankalkana, pudla wapana wonti.
