Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1“Brothers and fathers, listen now to my defense before you.”
1„Ngatata ja ngaperi worajai, ngakani kaukaubaterini jaura jurangu karari ngaranimarau!“
2When they heard him speak to them in Hebrew, they became even more silent. Then Paul declared,
2Tanali ngaranani, nulu tanangu Juda kana talini kaukaubanani, tana morla dalpura nganana wonti. Ja nau jatana wonti:
3“I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but raised in this city. I was educated at the feet of Gamaliel in strict conformity to the law of our fathers. I am just as zealous for God as any of you here today.
3„Ngani Juda kana nganai, Tarsungu Cilicieni matja dankana, ja tanali ngakangu nunkangupini ngurani Gamalieli tidnani pirna ngankana wonti, ja ngurungurulali ngato ngaperaia jirijiribani jaurani ngujangujara maninala, ja ngani Godangu manabakapirna nganana wonti jurangu pratjanani karari jeribaka;
4I persecuted this Way even to the death, detaining both men and women and throwing them into prison,
4Ja ngani ninapini palto tirikaripaterina wonti narielu, ja ngato materi ja widla dupudupu ngankana wonti, ja tanana kanjangari pungani ngulkujeli jinkina wonti,
5as the high priest and the whole Council can testify about me. I even obtained letters from them to their brothers in Damascus, and I was on my way to apprehend these people and bring them to Jerusalem to be punished.
5Worderu ngakangu bakana Priesta pirnali ja pinaru worali pratjanali tinkari ngankai, tanangundru ngato bakana dakani jaura manina wonti ngatataia, ja Damaskuja palkana wonti, bakana tanana, naka ngamanani, dupudupu Jerusalemia wapalkala kalalaia.
6About noon as I was approaching Damascus, suddenly a bright light from heaven flashed around me.
6Jendranguta ngani palkanani, ja Damaskungu karakara wokaranani, todani nurujeli ngakangu pariwilpandru praitji mintjina karitjina wonti.
7I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?’
7Ja ngani mitani purina ngarina wonti, ja ngaiala kulno ngakangu jatanani ngarana wonti: «Saulujai, Saulujai, minandru jidni ngakangu tirikaripaterila wapaia?»
8‘Who are You, Lord?’ I asked. ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting,’ He replied.
8Ngato kalabana wonti: Worana jidni nganai Kaparajai? Ja Nauja ngakangu jatana wonti: Ngani Jesus Nazaretala nganai, nunkangu jidni tirikaripaterila wapaia.
9My companions saw the light, but they could not understand the voice of the One speaking to me.
9Tana ngakangunto nganana, praitji najina wonti, ja japali pirna pantjina wonti; ja nunkani ngaiala, nulungali ngankamalinani, tanali wata ngarana wonti.
10Then I asked, ‘What should I do, Lord?’ ‘Get up and go into Damascus,’ He told me. ‘There you will be told all that you have been appointed to do.’
10Ngani jatana wonti: Mina ngato ngankananto Kaparajai? Kapara ngakangu jatana wonti: Terkala taramai, ja Damaskuja wapau, naka tanali jinkangu pratjana kaukaubala nganai, mina jinkangu kurana parana ngankananto.
11Because the brilliance of the light had blinded me, my companions led me by the hand into Damascus.
11Ngangau ngani ngandandarinani najila nunkanaia praitjaia mintjinandru, kamanelieli ngakanali ngana marali wapalkana wonti, ja jeruja ngani Damaskungu wokarana wonti.
12There a man named Ananias, a devout observer of the law who was highly regarded by all the Jews living there,
12Ananias kulno, nau Godaia jirijiribani jaurandru japali, nunkangu Juda kana pratjanali naka ngamanali pirna ngundrana wonti,
13came and stood beside me. ‘Brother Saul,’ he said, ‘receive your sight.’ And at that moment I could see him.
13Nau ngakangu wokarana wonti, ja ngakangu karakararina wonti ja jatana wonti: Ngatata Saulujai, najina tarau! ja nunkangupini ditjini ngato nunkangu najina tarana wonti.
14Then he said, ‘The God of our fathers has appointed you to know His will, and to see the Righteous One, and to hear His voice.
14Nau jatana wonti: Ngaiananaia ngaperaia Godali jidna ngopera kurana wonti, jidni jertapaterini nunkani ngujamananto, ja ninaia Talkupirna najinanto, ja ngaiala nunkani nunkani manandru ngarananto.
15You will be His witness to everyone of what you have seen and heard.
15Ngangau jidni tinkari ngankanietja nganala nganai nunkangu, kanani warupotuni, nunkangundru, mina jundru najina warai ja ngarana warai.
16And now what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized, and wash your sins away, calling on His name.’
16Ja karari, minandru jundru ngujawakai? Terkala tarau, ja multibanila madlentjandru kulirkala maniau, ja Kaparaia tala karkau!
17Later, when I had returned to Jerusalem and was praying at the temple, I fell into a trance
17Jendranguta ngani Jerusalemia matja tikana, ja ngani Godaia pungani ngatjinani, ngani ngaramarlarina wonti.
18and saw the Lord saying to me, ‘Hurry! Leave Jerusalem quickly, because the people here will not accept your testimony about Me.’
18Ja ngato ninaia najina wonti, Nauja ngakangu jatanani: Mindriau, ja nurujeli Jerusalemingundru puntiau, ngangau tanali jinkani tinkari ngankani ngakangundru wata patala nganai.
19‘Lord,’ I answered, ‘they know very well that in one synagogue after another I imprisoned and beat those who believed in You.
19Ja ngani jatana wonti: Kaparajai, tana munta milkila, ngato tanana, jinkangu morlalu ngundrana, jaura pungani wirrieli mandrana wonti, ja kanjangari pungani widmana wonti.
20And when the blood of Your witness Stephen was shed, I stood there giving my approval and watching over the garments of those who killed him.’
20Ja jendranguta Stephanani jinkanaia tinkari ngankanietjaia kumari matja ngakana, bakana ngani munta naka terkana wonti, ja nunkani nari ngantjana wonti, ja tanani kati ngamalkiribamalina wonti, tanali nina nari ngankana wonti.
21Then He said to me, ‘Go! I will send you far away to the Gentiles.’”
21Ja Nauja jatana wonti ngakangu: «Wapau, ngangau ngato jidna kana koni jinpala nganai.»“
22The crowd listened to Paul until he made this statement. Then they lifted up their voices and shouted, “Rid the earth of him! He is not fit to live!”
22Tanali nina ngarana wonti nunkangupini jauranilu, ja tana ngaiala tanani miririna wonti ja jatana wonti: „Ninapini mitandru teribanau, ngangau jenia wata talku nganai, nauja tepi ngamananto!“
23As they were shouting and throwing off their cloaks and tossing dust into the air,
23Tana maritjinani, ja tanani kati woraranani, ja puturu miri teribanani,
24the commander ordered that Paul be brought into the barracks. He directed that Paul be flogged and interrogated to determine the reason for this outcry against him.
24Jendranguta juljaia kaparali jirijiribana wonti, tanali nina juljaia pirini wapalkananto, ja jatana wonti, tanali nina wirrieli nandranali jakalkananto, ngangau nulu ngujamananto, minandru tana nunkangundru jenia miritja ngankai.
25But as they stretched him out to strap him down, Paul said to the centurion standing there, “Is it lawful for you to flog a Roman citizen without a trial?”
25Tanali nina ngutana ngurakatibinani wirria, Paulus nunkangu juljaia kapakaparani, nau karakara terkanani jatana wonti: „Jenia jurangu manuni kurala wapaia, kana kulno, nau Romala nganai, kalala kurani panini nandrala?“
26On hearing this, the centurion went and reported it to the commander. “What are you going to do?” he said. “This man is a Roman citizen.”
26Juljaia kapakaparali jenia matja ngarana, nau juljaia kaparani wapana wonti ja nunkangu kaukaubana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Mina jundru ngundrai ngankala? Naupini kana Romala nganai.“
27The commander went to Paul and asked, “Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?” “Yes,” he answered.
27Juljaia kapara karakararina wonti ja nunkangu jatana wonti: „Jatau ngakangu, jidni Romala?“ Nau jatana wonti: „Kau.“
28“I paid a high price for my citizenship,” said the commander. “But I was born a citizen,” Paul replied.
28Juljaia kaparali kalabana wonti: „Ngato kalala pirnali ninata ngurala burungankanala“. Paulus jatana wonti: „Ngani bakana Romala dankana wonti.“
29Then those who were about to interrogate Paul stepped back, and the commander himself was alarmed when he realized that he had put a Roman citizen in chains.
29Nurujeli tanali nina worarana wonti, tanali nina jakalkananto; ja juljaia kapara japali pantjina wonti, nulu matja ngarana, nau Romala nganai, ja ngangau nulu nina dupupu ngankana wonti.
30The next day the commander, wanting to learn the real reason Paul was accused by the Jews, released him and ordered the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin to assemble. Then he brought Paul down and had him stand before them.
30Ditji kulnuni nulu ngantjana wonti morlalu ngujamala, minandru Juda kanali nunkangu ngulkuterkala wiri, ja nulu nina dukarana wonti ja jirijiribana wonti, Priesta pirna ja kapara pratjana jurborinanto; ja nulu Paulus ngarilkana wonti, ja nina tanangu terkibana wonti.
