Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1Paul looked directly at the Sanhedrin and said, “Brothers, I have conducted myself before God in all good conscience to this day.”
1Paululu kapara pratjana ngurutalpana najina wonti ja jatana wonti: „Jura materi ja ngatata worajai, ngani ngara ngaiala ngumujeli Godani wirarina wonti nunkangupini ditjielu.“
2At this, the high priest Ananias ordered those standing near Paul to strike him on the mouth.
2Ananias Priesta pirnali tanangu, tana nunkangu karakara terkanani, jirijiribana wonti, nina mana nandrala.
3Then Paul said to him, “God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! You sit here to judge me according to the law, yet you yourself violate the law by commanding that I be struck.”
3Paulus nunkangu jatana wonti: „Godali jidna nandrala nganai, jidna wiribani wontini! Jidni ngamai ngakangu jirijiribani jaurali kalala jinkila, ja jirijiribani jaura panini jundru jirijiribai ngana nandrananto?“
4But those standing nearby said, “How dare you insult the high priest of God!”
4Tana naka terkana jatana wonti: „Godaia Priesta pirnani jidni madlentji jatai?“
5“Brothers,” Paul replied, “I was not aware that he was the high priest, for it is written: ‘Do not speak evil about the ruler of your people.’”
5Ja Paulus jatana wonti: „Ngatata worajai! Ngani ko nganana warai, naupini Priesta pirna nganai, ngangau dakanala parai: Jidni jinkani kana wolaraia kaparani wata madlentji jatananto.“
6Then Paul, knowing that some of them were Sadducees and others Pharisees, called out in the Sanhedrin, “Brothers, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee. It is because of my hope in the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial.”
6Paululu ngujamana wonti, palpa tanangundru Pharisaiala ngananani, ja palpa Sadducaiala, nau kana kapara pratjanani terti maritjina wonti: „Materi ja ngatata worajai! Ngani Pharisaiala nganai, Pharisaialaia ngatamura; kalkanandru ja nari jiritjinandru ngani kalalaia terkai.“
7As soon as he had said this, a dispute broke out between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.
7Nau jenia matja jatana, Pharisaiala ja Sadducaiala jatamalina wonti, ja kana wolara tjelapalkaterina wonti.
8For the Sadducees say that there is neither a resurrection, nor angels, nor spirits, but the Pharisees acknowledge them all.
8Ngangau Sadducaiala jatai: Nari jiritjini ja angela ja jaola pani nganai; Pharisaialali jenia mandru kaukaubai.
9A great clamor arose, and some scribes from the party of the Pharisees got up and contended sharply, “We find nothing wrong with this man. What if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?”
9Ja miritja pirna pantjina wonti, ja Pharisaiala jaura jinkinietja palpa terkana tarana wonti ja tjakakijiribamalina wonti ja jatana wonti: „Ngaiani wata madlentji nunkangupini kanani mankamankai; jaola kara angela kara nunkangu ngankamalina warai, ngaiani ngandandariai Godani tirimalila.“
10The dispute grew so violent that the commander was afraid they would tear Paul to pieces. He ordered the soldiers to go down and remove him by force and bring him into the barracks.
10Patijiritjini morla pirna pantjinani, juljaia kapara japali pantjina wonti, tanali Paulus diadialkaiati, ja nulu jirijiribana wonti, julja wolara ngarinanto, nina tanangundru terti patananto, ja nina juljaia piria tikalkananto.
11The following night the Lord stood near Paul and said, “Take courage! As you have testified about Me in Jerusalem, so also you must testify in Rome.”
11Ja tinkani Kapara nunkangu wokarana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Murlali nganau Paulujai, ngangau worderu jundru ngakangundru Jerusalemingu tinkari ngankala wiri, jeruja jundru bakana Romangu tinkari ngankananto.“
12When daylight came, the Jews formed a conspiracy and bound themselves with an oath not to eat or drink until they had killed Paul.
12Matja ditjirina, Juda kana palpa mapaterina wonti, ja morlalu kurakijiribamalina wonti, wata tajila ja wata tapala, tanali Paulus nari nandralalu.
13More than forty of them were involved in this plot.
13Tana morla nganana wonti marapratjana pota mandru ja mandruni, tanali jenia morlalu kurakijiribamalini ngankana wonti.
14They went to the chief priests and elders and said, “We have bound ourselves with a solemn oath not to eat anything until we have killed Paul.
14Tanapini Priesta pirnani ja pinarani wokarana wonti, ja jatana wonti: „Ngaiani kantji morlalu kurakijiribamalina warai panila wontjala, ngaiani Paulus nari nandralalu.
15Now then, you and the Sanhedrin petition the commander to bring him down to you on the pretext of examining his case more carefully. We are ready to kill him on the way.”
15Jura karari juljaia kaparani ja kapara worangu kaukaubanau, nulu nina tankubana jurangu ngarilkananto, jeruja jeribaka, jura poto nunkani morla talku jertapateriai najinajibala; ngaiani ngankingaterina warai nina nari ngankala, morla ngopera nau jurangu karakararinani.“
16But when the son of Paul’s sister heard about the plot, he went into the barracks and told Paul.
16Pauluni kakuja ngatatajeli tanani ngundrani ngaranani, nau wokarana wonti, ja julja wolaraia pirini wirina wonti, ja jenia Paulungu kaukaubana wonti.
17Then Paul called one of the centurions and said, “Take this young man to the commander; he has something to tell him.”
17Paululu juljaia kapakapara kulno karkana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Ninapini teri juljaia kaparani wapalkau, ngangau nulia minakulno ngamalkai nunkangu jatala.“
18So the centurion took him to the commander and said, “Paul the prisoner sent and asked me to bring this young man to you. He has something to tell you.”
18Nulu nina patana wonti, ja juljaia kaparani wapalkana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Paululu kanjangarilali ngana karkana warai, ja ngakangu ngatjina warai, ninapini teri jinkangu wapalkananto, ngangau nulia minakulno ngamalkai jinkangu kaukaubala.“
19The commander took the young man by the hand, drew him aside, and asked, “What do you need to tell me?”
19Juljaia kaparali nina mara patana wonti, ja nina tjirimalkana wonti, ja nina jakalkana wonti: „Mina jundru ngamalkai ngakangu kaukaubala?“
20He answered, “The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul to the Sanhedrin tomorrow on the pretext of acquiring more information about him.
20Nau jatana wonti: „Juda kana ngankamalina warai jinkangu ngatjina, jundru tankubana Paulus kapara worangu ngarilkananto, jeruja jeribaka, tanali nunkani poto morla talku najinajibananto.
21Do not let them persuade you, because more than forty men are waiting to ambush him. They have bound themselves with an oath not to eat or drink until they have killed him; they are ready now, awaiting your consent.”
21Jundru tanangu wata morlalu ngundramai, ngangau materi morla marapratjana pota mandru ja mandruni nunkangu kalkaterila wapaia, tanali matja morlalu kurakijiribamalina warai wata tajila ja wata tapala, tanali nina nari ngankalalu: ja karari tana ngankingaterila wapaia, ja jinkani jaurani kalkaterila wapaia.“
22So the commander dismissed the young man and instructed him, “Do not tell anyone that you have reported this to me.”
22Juljaia kaparali nina teri jinpana wonti, ja nunkangu jirijiribana wonti wata kulnuni jatala, mina jundru ngakangu kaukaubana warai.
23Then he called two of his centurions and said, “Prepare two hundred soldiers, seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen to go to Caesarea in the third hour of the night.
23Ja nulu juljaia kapakapara mandru karkana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Julja 200 ngankingalumai, tana Cäsareaja palkananto, bakana dukaterinietja marapratjana pota mara wora ja mandru, ja kaltieli dakanietja 200 tinkani.
24Provide mounts for Paul to take him safely to Governor Felix.”
24Ja tanali bakana dukaterini nganti ngankingananto Paulus kurana tarala, ja tepi Felixingu mitaia kapakaparani wapalkala.“
25And he wrote the following letter:
25Ja nulu jaura dakana wonti, nulupini jaurali:
26Claudius Lysias, To His Excellency, Governor Felix: Greetings.
26„Klaudiulu Lysiali mitaia kapakaparani Felix ngumu pirnani mandurini jaura jinpai.
27This man was seized by the Jews, and they were about to kill him when I came with my troops to rescue him. For I had learned that he is a Roman citizen,
27Ninapini kana Juda kanali patala wiri, ja ninaia ngampu nari ngankala wiri, ninaia ngato dunkalkala wiri, ngani matja wirina julja wolarani jela, ngangau ngani ngarala wiri, nau Romala nganai.
28and since I wanted to understand their charges against him, I brought him down to their Sanhedrin.
28Ja ngangau ngato ngantjala wiri ngujamala, minandru tanali nunkangu ngulkuterkala wiri, ngato ninaia kapara pratjanani ngarilkala wiri.
29I found that the accusation involved questions about their own law, but there was no charge worthy of death or imprisonment.
29Ngato mankamankala wiri, tanali nunkangu tanani jirijiribani jauraia tirijakalkijiribamalinandru ngulkuterkala wiri, ja nunkangu ngulku pani parala wiri, nulia nari kara kanjangari kara kalala maninanto.
30When I was informed that there was a plot against the man, I sent him to you at once. I also instructed his accusers to present their case against him before you.
30Ngangau kulnujeli ngakangu kaukaubala wiri, Juda kana palpa nunkangu materani kalkaterinani, ngato ninaia nurujeli jinkangu jinpana warai, ja bakana ngulkuterkanietjani kaukaubana warai, tana jinkangu jatananto, mina tanali nunkangu ngamalkai. Ngumu tepiriau!“
31So the soldiers followed their orders and brought Paul by night to Antipatris.
31Julja wolarali Paulus patana wonti, worderu nulu tanangu jirijiribana wonti; ja tanali nina tinkani Antipatringu wapalkana wonti.
32The next day they returned to the barracks and let the horsemen go on with him.
32Ditji kulnuni tanali dukaterinietja worarana wonti nunkangunto palkananto, ja tana julja wolaraia pirini tikana karitjina wonti.
33When the horsemen arrived in Caesarea, they delivered the letter to the governor and presented Paul to him.
33Tanapini Cäsareangu matja wokarana, ja dakani jaura mitaia kapakaparani matja jinkina, tanali Paulus nunkangu terkibana wonti.
34The governor read the letter and asked what province Paul was from. Learning that he was from Cilicia,
34Mitaia kapakapara dakani jaura matja warapana, nulu jakalkana wonti, mina mita burundru nau nganai, ja nulu matja ngarana, nau Ciliciandru nganai,
35he said, “I will hear your case when your accusers arrive.” Then he ordered that Paul be kept under guard in Herod’s Praetorium.
35Nau jatana wonti: „Ngato jidnana talku jakajakalkala nganai, ngulkuterkanietja jinkani bakana ninkida ngananani.“ Ja nulu jirijiribana wonti, nina Herodini pungani ngamalkala.
