Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed through the interior and came to Ephesus. There he found some disciples
1Jendranguta, Apollo Korinthungu ngananani, Paulus mita morla miri parana matja palkingana, Ephesungu wokarana wonti. Ja nulu naka mili palpa mankamankana wonti.
2and asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you became believers?” “No,” they answered, “we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”
2Ja nau tanangu jatana wonti: „Jura Jaola kulikiri jendranguta maninala, jura morlalu ngundranala?“ Tana nunkangu jatana wonti: „Ngaiani wata pota kulno ngarana, Jaola kulikiri nganai.“
3“Into what, then, were you baptized?” Paul asked. “The baptism of John,” they replied.
3Ja nau tanangu jatana wonti: „Minani jura multibanila maninala?“ Tana nunkangu jatana wonti: „Johannini multibanilani.“
4Paul explained: “John’s baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the One coming after him, that is, in Jesus.”
4Paulus jatana wonti: „Johannili morlalu madlentjandru karitjinaia multibanilali multibana wonti, ja kana wolarani jatana wonti, tanali morlalu ngundrananto nunkangu, nau nunkangu ngadani wokarananto, jenia Jesus nganai, Nauja Christus.“
5On hearing this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.
5Tanali jenia matja ngarana, tanali multibanila manina wonti Kaparaia Jesuni talani.
6And when Paul laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied.
6Ja Paulus tanangu mara kuraterinani, Jaola kulikiri tanangu ngarina wonti, ja tanali talieli kaukaubana wonti, ja talpadakana wonti.
7There were about twelve men in all.
7Ja tana pratjana materi marapratjana ja mandru kara nganana wonti.
8Then Paul went into the synagogue and spoke boldly there for three months, arguing persuasively about the kingdom of God.
8Nau jaura pungani wirinani, nulu manubakujeli pira parkuluwirdi kaukaubana wonti, ja tanangu Godaia mililandru ngankamalina wonti, ja ngujangujara jinkina wonti.
9But when some of them stubbornly refused to believe and publicly maligned the Way, Paul took his disciples and left the synagogue to conduct daily discussions in the lecture hall of Tyrannus.
9Ngangau palpa ngurunguru ngankaterina wonti, ja wata morlalu ngundrana wonti, a‐ai, kana wolaraia mudlani paltundru madlentji kaukaubana wonti, nau tanangundru puntina kurana wonti, ja nulu mili mulkana wonti, ja ditji pratjanani Tyrannoni jaura pungani ngankamalina wonti.
10This continued for two years, so that everyone who lived in the province of Asia, Jews and Greeks alike, heard the word of the Lord.
10Jenia pantjina wonti kilpawoldra mandruwirdi, jeruja pratjanali, tana Asiani ngamana wonti, Kaparaia Jesuni jaura ngarana wonti, Juda kanali ja Grieka kanali.
11God did extraordinary miracles through the hands of Paul,
11Ja Godali wata waka ngurula ngankana wonti Paululu marali.
12so that even handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched him were taken to the sick, and the diseases and evil spirits left them.
12Jeruja tanali kana muntjani kangukati ja kapakati nunkani talandru kurana wonti, ja muntjali tanana worarana wonti, ja kutji madlentji wora tanangundru dunkana wonti.
13Now there were some itinerant Jewish exorcists who tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those with evil spirits. They would say, “I bind you by Jesus, whom Paul proclaims.”
13Palpa Juda kanali, tana kunki wirarina wonti, wontjana wonti, Kaparaia Jesuni tala kanani kutjintani karkala, tana jatana wonti: „Ngaiani jurana jirijiribai Jesungu, ninaia Paululu kaukaubai.“
14Seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this.
14Juda kana Priesta pirnaia Skevani ngatamura palpa nganana wonti, mara wora ja mandru, tanali jenia ngankana wonti.
15Eventually, one of the evil spirits answered them, “Jesus I know, and I know about Paul, but who are you?”
15Kutji madlentjali kalabana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Ninaia Jesus ngato ngujamai, ja Paulus ngato milkila; mina kana jura nganai?“
16Then the man with the evil spirit jumped on them and overpowered them all. The attack was so violent that they ran out of the house naked and wounded.
16Ja nau kana, nunkangu kutji madlentji nganana wonti, tanangu kulkungana wonti, ja tanangundru mandru kalalu ngankana wonti, ja nankana wonti, jeruja pudla balu ja tapanto nunkangupini pungandru kutingana wonti.
17This became known to all the Jews and Greeks living in Ephesus, and fear came over all of them. So the name of the Lord Jesus was held in high honor.
17Jenia pratjanali ngujamana wonti, tana Ephesungu ngamana wonti, Juda kanali ja Grieka kanali; ja tanana pratjana japa walpadakana wonti, ja Kaparaia Jesuni tala pirna pantjina wonti.
18Many who had believed now came forward, confessing and disclosing their deeds.
18Ja tanangundru marapu wokarana wonti, tanali morlalu ngundrana wonti, ja tinkari dikana wonti ja kaukaubana wonti, mina tanali ngankana wonti.
19And a number of those who had practiced magic arts brought their books and burned them in front of everyone. When the value of the books was calculated, the total came to fifty thousand drachmas.
19Ja marapujeli tanangundru, tanali kunkia ngankani ngankana wonti, dakani jaura pratjana mapana wonti, ja kana pratjanaia mudlani tanana tarana wonti; ja tanali kalala tanangundru wintamana wonti ja mankamankana wonti, tana kalala 50,000 mardatandra bulu nganana wonti.
20So the word of the Lord powerfully continued to spread and prevail.
20Jeruja Kaparaia jaura ngurungurujeli punkana wonti, ja ngurunguru pantjina wonti:
21After these things had happened, Paul resolved in the Spirit to go to Jerusalem after he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia. “After I have been there,” he said, “I must see Rome as well.”
21Jenia matja mudana, Paululu jaolali ngundrana wonti Macedoniani ja Achajani palkingana Jerusalemia palkala, ja jatana wonti: „Ngani naka matja ngamana, ngato bakana Roma najinanto.“
22He sent two of his helpers, Timothy and Erastus, to Macedonia, while he stayed for a time in the province of Asia.
22Nulu Macedoniaia tanangundru mandru jinpana wonti, tana mili nunkani nganana wonti, Timotheus ja Erastus; nau munta miljaru palpa Asiani ngamantina wonti.
23About that time there arose a great disturbance about the Way.
23Jendranguta patijiritjini wata waka pantjina wonti nunkanipini paltundru.
24It began with a silversmith named Demetrius who made silver shrines of Artemis, bringing much business to the craftsmen.
24Ngangau kulnujeli, tala nunkani Demetrius, marda bulu ngankanietja kulno, nulu Artemisini punga marda bulundru ngankana wonti; nulu ngankanietja worangu wata kalala ngalje jinkina wonti.
25Demetrius assembled the craftsmen, along with the workmen in related trades. “Men,” he said, “you know that this business is our source of prosperity.
25Tananapini nulu karkana mapana wonti, ja tanangu, nunkangupini manginani jela ngankana wonti, jatana wonti: „Materi worajai! Jura milkila, ngaiani nunkangupini manginandru ngumu tepiriai;
26And you can see and hear that not only in Ephesus, but in nearly the whole province of Asia, Paul has persuaded a great number of people to turn away. He says that man-made gods are no gods at all.
26Ja jura najiai ja ngarai, wata windri Ephesungu, a‐ai, bakana Asia maruni nulupini Paululu kana marapu karkarkai, ja tanani tjuru karitjimalkai ja jatai: «Jenia wata Goda nganai, marali matja ngankana.»
27There is danger not only that our business will fall into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be discredited and her majesty deposed—she who is worshiped by all the province of Asia and the whole world.”
27Tanali wata windri ninapini poto waka ngankaiati, a‐ai, tanali bakana Artemisini Goda pirnaia punga panila ngundraiati; bakana jenia wokaraiati, nankani pirnala mudaiati, nina Asia marujeli ja mita marujeli pirna ngundrai.“
28When the men heard this, they were enraged and began shouting, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
28Tanali jenia matja ngarana, tana tiri pirna pantjina wonti, ja maritjina wonti ja jatana wonti: „Ephesusala Artemis pirna nganai.“
29Soon the whole city was in disarray. They rushed together into the theatre, dragging with them Gaius and Aristarchus, Paul’s traveling companions from Macedonia.
29Ja ngura pratjana tjautjau manamiri pantjina wonti, ja tana pratjana wondrani pungaia mindrina wonti, ja Gajus ja Aristarchus Macedoniandru, pudla Paulungu jela wonta wapani, parumana mindrilkana wonti.
30Paul wanted to go before the assembly, but the disciples would not allow him.
30Paulus jertapaterinani kana wolarani wirila, milieli nina ngandrawalkana wonti.
31Even some of Paul’s friends who were officials of the province of Asia sent word to him, begging him not to venture into the theatre.
31Bakana Asia kapara palpali, tana nunkani kamaneli nganana wonti, nunkangu jinpana wonti, ja nunkangu ngatjina wonti, nau wata wondrani pungani wapananto.
32Meanwhile the assembly was in turmoil. Some were shouting one thing and some another, and most of them did not even know why they were there.
32Palpa jenia maritjina wonti, ja palpa jeruja; ngangau jurborinala tjautjau nganana wonti, ja marapu mangapunko nganana wonti, minani tana mapamalina warai.
33The Jews in the crowd pushed Alexander forward to explain himself, and he motioned for silence so he could make his defense to the people.
33Kana wolarali Alexander tertabana wonti, ngangau Juda kanali nina tirimalkana wonti; Alexander marali malka jinkina wonti, ja jertapaterina wonti kana wolarani jaura jinkila.
34But when they realized that he was a Jew, they all shouted in unison for about two hours: “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
34Tanali matja ngujamana, nau Juda kana nganai, tanangundru pratjanandru ngaiala kulno pantjina wonti, jeruja tana ditji karitjini pota mandruwirdi maritjina wonti: „Ephesala Artemis pirna nganai!“
35Finally the city clerk quieted the crowd and declared, “Men of Ephesus, doesn’t everyone know that the city of Ephesus is guardian of the temple of the great Artemis and of her image, which fell from heaven?
35Nguraia dakanietjali kana wolara daudauana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Jura materi Ephesulala worajai! Worana kana wata milkila, Ephesulala ngura Artemisini punga, ja mudla pariwilpandru matja purina, ngamalkanietja nganai?
36Since these things are undeniable, you ought to be calm and not do anything rash.
36Ngangau jenia tjakakani panini parai, jura ngapurinanto, ja panila ngundrana panini ngankananto.
37For you have brought these men here, though they have neither robbed our temple nor blasphemed our goddess.
37Jura pudlanapini materi ninkidani wapalkana warai, pudla wata Godaia pungaia watawatali maninietja nganai, ja wata jurani Goda ngirkibai.
38So if Demetrius and his fellow craftsmen have a complaint against anyone, the courts are open and proconsuls are available. Let them bring charges against one another there.
38Demetriulu ja ngankanietjali nunkangunto kulnuni ngulku ngamalkanani, jeruja kalala ditji parai, ja najinajibanietja nganai, tana ngulkuterkijiribamalinanto.
39But if you are seeking anything beyond this, it must be settled in a legal assembly.
39Jura ngantjai minakulnuni ngankamalila, jeruja jenia ngura kana wolara jurborini talkuni pantjinanto.
40For we are in jeopardy of being charged with rioting for today’s events, and we have no justification to account for this commotion.”
40Ngangau tanali ngaianangu nunkangupini ditjindru ngulkuterkaiati patijiritjibanandru, ngangau wata poto parai, nunkangundru ngaiana talku ngankaterinanto, nunkangupini patijiritjinandru.“
41After he had said this, he dismissed the assembly.
41Ja nau jenia matja jatana, nulu kana wolara jinpana wonti.
