Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1When they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.
1Tana Amphipolingu ja Apolloniangu matja palkingana, tana Thessalonichingu wokarana wonti, woderi Juda kanaia jaura punga nganana wonti.
2As was his custom, Paul went into the synagogue, and on three Sabbaths he reasoned with them from the Scriptures,
2Worderu Paululu milingeru, jeruja nau bakana tanangu wirina wonti, ja tanangunto Sabbat ditji parkulani ngankamalina wonti.
3explaining and proving that the Christ had to suffer and rise from the dead. “This Jesus I am proclaiming to you is the Christ,” he declared.
3Jaurandru nulu tanangu mildiri ngankana wonti, ja kurana wonti, Christus ketjaketjananto ja narindru jiritjinanto, ja Naupini Christus Jesus nganai, ninaia ngato jurangu kaukaubai.
4Some of the Jews were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, along with a large number of God-fearing Greeks and quite a few leading women.
4Ja palpali tanangundru morlalu ngundrana wonti, ja Paulungu ja Silangu ngokana wonti, ja Griekala Godandru japali marapu, ja kana widla pirna wata ngalje.
5The Jews, however, became jealous. So they brought in some troublemakers from the marketplace, formed a mob, and sent the city into an uproar. They raided Jason’s house in search of Paul and Silas, hoping to bring them out to the people.
5Juda kana, tana wata morlalu ngundrana wonti, milkirina wonti, ja tana jurborini pirindru materi madlentji palpa patana wonti, ja mapaterina wonti, ja ngura patijiritjibana wonti; ja tana Jason pungani tidnantani terkakana wonti, ja wontjana wonti, tanana kana wolarani wapalkala.
6But when they could not find them, they dragged Jason and some other brothers before the city officials, shouting, “These men who have turned the world upside down have now come here,
6Tanali tanana wata mankamankanani, tanali Jason ja ngatata palpa nguraia kaparani parumana wonti ja maritjina wonti: „Tanapini, tanali mita maru patijiritjibana warai, bakana ninkida wokarana warai;
7and Jason has welcomed them into his home. They are all defying Caesar’s decrees, saying that there is another king, named Jesus!”
7Tananapini Jasonili ngamalkai, ja tanali pratjanali mitaia kaparaia jirijiribani jaurani delkiai, ngangau tanana kurai, Kulno nguru Kapara nganai, Jesus.“
8On hearing this, the crowd and city officials were greatly disturbed.
8Tanali kana wolara ja nguraia kapara, tanali jenia matja ngaranani, patijiritjibana wonti.
9And they collected bond from Jason and the others, and then released them.
9Ja tanali Jasoningundru ja ngurundru morlalula matja manina, tanali tanana worani patana wonti.
10As soon as night had fallen, the brothers sent Paul and Silas away to Berea. On arriving there, they went into the Jewish synagogue.
10Ngatatajeli nurujeli tinkani Paulus ja Silas Beröangu jinpana wonti, ja pudla naka matja wokarana, pudla Juda kanaia jaura pungani wirina wonti.
11Now the Bereans were more noble-minded than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if these teachings were true.
11Tanalipini morla ngumu ngundrana wonti Thessalonichalani, ngangau tanali jaura manjujeli patana wonti, ja ditji pratjanani Godaia jaurani wontina wonti, tanapini jeruja nganai kara.
12As a result, many of them believed, along with quite a few prominent Greek women and men.
12Jeruja marapujeli tanangundru morlalu ngundrana wonti, ja bakana Griekala kana pirna widla ja materi wata ngaljejeli.
13But when the Jews from Thessalonica learned that Paul was also proclaiming the word of God in Berea, they went there themselves to incite and agitate the crowds.
13Thessalonicha Juda kanali matja ngarana, bakana Beröani Paululu Godaia jaura kaukaubai, tana wokarana wonti, bakana naka kana wolara patijiritjibala.
14The brothers immediately sent Paul to the coast, but Silas and Timothy remained in Berea.
14Nurujeli ngatatajeli Paulus jinpana wonti, nau panto pirnaia dirkalajelu palkananto; Silas ja Timotheus naka ngamantina wonti.
15Those who escorted Paul brought him to Athens and then returned with instructions for Silas and Timothy to join him as soon as possible.
15Tana Paulungu jela wapana, tanali nina Athenilu wapalkana wonti, ja tanali jirijiribani jaura matja manina, Silas ja Timotheus nurujeli nunkangu wokarananto, tana tarpina tikana wonti.
16While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, he was deeply disturbed in his spirit to see that the city was full of idols.
16Paulus Atheningu kalkaterinani pudlangu, nau jaola jerkina wonti, ngangau nulu najina wonti, ngurani Goda mudlamalka marapu paranani.
17So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and God-fearing Gentiles, and in the marketplace with those he met each day.
17Nulu jaura pungani Juda kanani, ja tanangu Godandru japali, ngankamalina wonti, ja jurborini pirini ditji pratjanani tanangu, tana jerra wokarana wonti.
18Some Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also began to debate with him. Some of them asked, “What is this babbler trying to say?” Others said, “He seems to be advocating foreign gods.” They said this because Paul was proclaiming the good news of Jesus and the resurrection.
18Palpali epicuräa ja stoika kana kirieli nunkangunto jatamalina wonti; ja palpa jatana wonti: „Mina naupini jatajatanietja jertapateriai jatala?“ Palpa nguru: „Ngaiani ngundrai, nulia kaukaubanietja Goda pilkindru nganai;“ Ngangau nulu tanangu ngantjani jaura Jesungundru, ja tepi terkakanani, kaukaubana wonti.
19So they took Paul and brought him to the Areopagus, where they asked him, “May we know what this new teaching is that you are presenting?
19Ja tanali nina patana wonti, ja nina Areopagani wapalkana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Ngaiani ngujamananto, mina ngujangujara naupini nganai, ninaia jundru kaukaubai?
20For you are bringing some strange notions to our ears, and we want to know what they mean.”
20Ngangau jundru ngaianingu talpani palpa tula wirilkai, ngaiani ngantjai milkila nganala, mina jenia nganai.“
21Now all the Athenians and foreigners who lived there spent their time doing nothing more than hearing and articulating new ideas.
21Athenalali, ja tana tidnapalarali, naka ngamanani, wata pilki ngundrana wonti, a‐ai, windri milingeru palpa marra jatala ja ngarala.
22Then Paul stood up in the meeting of the Areopagus and said, “Men of Athens, I see that in every way you are very religious.
22Paulus Areopagani terti terkana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Athenala worajai! Ngato najiai, jura pratjanani Goda worangundru japali nganai.
23For as I walked around and examined your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. Therefore what you worship as something unknown, I now proclaim to you.
23Ngangau ngani palkingana warai, ja jurani poto kulikiri najina warai, ja ngato Altara kulno mankamankana warai, nunkangu dakani parai: «Nunkangupini Godani, nunkangu ngaiani ko.» Ninapini, ninaia jura bulu ngujamanali wodatarana ngamai, ngato jurangu kaukaubai.
24The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples made by human hands.
24Nulupini Godali, Nulia mita maru, ja pratjana mina nunkangu mandrani, pantjimana wonti, Naupini pariwilpaia ja mitaia Kapara nganai, wata pungani ngamai, tana marali wotinala;
25Nor is He served by human hands, as if He needed anything, because He Himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.
25Kana marali ninaia bakana wata ngamalkai, Nulia minakulno morla ngamalkananto, a‐ai, Nulia muntali pratjanani tepi ja jaola ja warupoto jinkiai.
26From one man He made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and He determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their lands.
26Ja Nulia ngankana wonti, kulnuja kumarandru kana wolara mita maruja mudlani ngamananto, ja Nulia miljaru talku ja wondiri ngopera kurana wonti, worderunutana ngamananto.
27God intended that they would seek Him and perhaps reach out for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us.
27Ngangau tanali Kapara wontinanto, tanali nina karakarananto ja mankamankananto; ngangau Nauja kantji wata worita nganai ngaianangu pratjanani.
28‘For in Him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are His offspring.’
28Ngangau nunkangupini ngaiana tepiriai ja wirariai ja kantji nganai; worderu bakana jurani kurakuranietja palpa jatanala: «Ngaiana nunkani nguja nganai.»
29Therefore, being offspring of God, we should not think that the Divine Being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by man’s skill and imagination.
29Ngangau ngaiana Godaia nguja nganai, ngaiana wata ngundrananto, Goda jeribaka nganai, marda maraljeni kara, marda buluni kara, mardani kara, mudlani kara, ninaia kana kirila ja mankani matja ngankana.
30Although God overlooked the ignorance of earlier times, He now commands all people everywhere to repent.
30Godali koja miljaru wata ngundrai, ja karari Nulia kana warupotuni paruparu jirijiribai madlentjandru karitjinanto;
31For He has set a day when He will judge the world with justice by the Man He has appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising Him from the dead.”
31Ngangau Nulia ditji kulno kurana wonti, nunkangupini Nulia mita maruni kalala jinkila nganai talkulali, kana kulnujeli, ninaia Nulia kurana wonti, ja pratjanani morlalu ngundrana kurai, Nulia ninaia narindru matja jiritjibana.“
32When they heard about the resurrection of the dead, some began to mock him, but others said, “We want to hear you again on this topic.”
32Tanali narindru jiritjini matja ngarana, palpali ngirkibana wonti; palpa jatana wonti: „Ngaiani jidna jendrangundruja nakaldra morla ngarananto.“
33At that, Paul left the Areopagus.
33Jeruja Paulus tanangu tertindru wapana wonti.
34But some joined him and believed, including Dionysius the Areopagite, a woman named Damaris, and others who were with them.
34Kana palpa nunkangu wokarana wonti, ja morlalu ngundrana wonti: Tanangundru Areopagitala Dionysius, ja widla kulno, tala nankani Damaris, ja palpa pudlangunto.
