Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1Five days later the high priest Ananias came down with some elders and a lawyer named Tertullus, who presented to the governor their case against Paul.
1Ditji mara worani Priesta pirna Ananias pinarani jela ja jurajuralkijiribanietja Tertullus ngarina wonti, tanali Paulungundru mitaia kapakaparani ngulkuterkananto.
2When Paul had been called in, Tertullus opened the prosecution: “Because of you, we have enjoyed a lasting peace, and your foresight has brought improvements to this nation.
2Tanali nina matja karkana, Tertullulu ngulkuterkani jaura wonina wonti ja jatana wonti:
3In every way and everywhere, most excellent Felix, we acknowledge this with all gratitude.
3„Ngaiani jinkangundru murla pirna ngamalkai, ja tananapini kana wolara jinkani manujeli ngundranali ngamalkijiribani ngumu maniai, ja ngaiani jenia milingeru pirna jurakokanali ngundrai, Felix ngumu pirnajai!
4But in order not to burden you any further, I beg your indulgence to hear us briefly.
4Ngangau ngato jidna wata pirna jupananto, ngani jinkangu ngatjiai, jundru ngaianina ngalje ngarananto jinkani maltindru.
5We have found this man to be a pestilence, stirring up dissension among the Jews all over the world. He is a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes,
5Ngaiani ninapini kana pirindi mankamankana paraia, ja patijiritjibanietjaia mudlakutja, Juda kana pratjanani mita maruni ja Nazarenalaia ngujaja kapara,
6and he even tried to desecrate the temple; so we seized him.
6Nulia bakana wontjala wiri Godaia punga murumuru ngankala; ninaia ngaiani patala wiri, ja ngantjala wiri, nunkangu ngaiananani jirijiribani jaurandru kalala jinkila.
no verse 7 in this text
7Lysias juljaia kaparali terti wokarala wiri, ja ninaia ngurula pirnali ngaianingu marandru dunkalkala wiri.
8By examining him yourself, you will be able to learn the truth about all our charges against him.”
8Ja nulu nunkani ngulkuterkanietjani jirijiribala wiri, jinkangu wokaraterinanto; nunkangundru jundru muntali pratjana ngarala nganai, jundru nina wontjanani, minandru ngaiani nunkangu ngulkuterkala wapaia.“
9The Jews concurred, asserting that these charges were true.
9Juda kanali bakana jenia kaukaubana wonti, ja jatana wonti, jenia morlalu nganai.
10When the governor motioned for Paul to speak, he began his response: “Knowing that you have been a judge over this nation for many years, I gladly make my defense.
10Paululu kalabana wonti, mitaia kapakaparali nunkangu marali matja malka jinkina nulu kaukaubananto: „Ngangau ngani milkila, jidni tanangupini kana wolarani kilpawoldra marapu kalala kuranietja nganai, ngani murlali ngakangundru jurajuralkateriai.
11You can verify for yourself that no more than twelve days ago I went up to Jerusalem to worship.
11Jundru jenia jakalkananto, wata morla wirdi ditji marapratjana ja mandruni nganai, ngani Jerusalemia tarana paraia ngatjila.
12Yet my accusers did not find me debating with anyone in the temple or riling up a crowd in the synagogues or in the city.
12Bakana tanalia ngana wata mankamankala wiri Godaia pungani kulnuni ngankamalinani kara, kana wolara patijiritjibanani kara, bakana wata jaura punga worani, bakana wata ngurani;
13Nor can they prove to you any of their charges against me.
13Tanaia bakana ngandandariai ngakangu morlalu kurala, minandru tanalia ngakangu karari ngulkuterkala wapaia.
14I do confess to you, however, that I worship the God of our fathers according to the Way, which they call a sect. I believe everything that is laid down by the Law and written in the Prophets,
14Jenia ngato jinkangu morlalu dikai, ngani nunkangupini paltuni, nina tanalia dikai nguja pilki, ngani ngaperaia ngaiananaia Godani mili ngamai; ngangau ngato pratjana morlalu ngundrai, mina jirijiribani jaurani ja Propheta worani dakanala parai;
15and I have the same hope in God that they themselves cherish, that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked.
15Ja ngato wolkarali kalkani ngamalkai Godani, ninaia bakana tanalia muntali ngamalkai, narindru jiritjini wokarala nganai, wata windri kana talkuni, a‐ai, bakana tjikatjikani.
16In this hope, I strive always to maintain a clear conscience before God and man.
16Jendrania ngato muntali jiglerali ngankai ngara ngaiala ngumu ngamalkala Godani ja kanani milingeru.
17After several years, then, I returned to Jerusalem to bring alms to my people and to present offerings.
17Kilpawoldra marapu matja mudana, ngani wokarana paraia kalumiltjamiltjarini poto ngakani kana wolarani jinkila, ja bakana poto ngumu.
18At the time they found me in the temple, I was ceremonially clean and was not inciting a crowd or an uproar. But there are some Jews from the province of Asia
18Jendranguta (Priestali) ngana Godaia pungani kilikiri ngankana parai, wata kana wolarani jela, ja bakana wata maritjinali, Juda kana palpali Asiandru ngana mankamankana paraia,
19who ought to appear before you and bring charges, if they have anything against me.
19Tana jinkangu wokarananto ja ngakangu ngulkuterkananto, tanali ngakangu minakulno ngamalkanani.
20Otherwise, let these men state for themselves any crime they found in me when I stood before the Sanhedrin,
20Tanali ninkida muntali kaukaubananto, mina madlentji tanali ngakangu mankamankala wiri, ngani kana kaparani terkanani,
21unless it was this one thing I called out as I stood in their presence: ‘It is concerning the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial before you today.’”
21Kalitakali nunkangupini jaura kulnundru kara, nina ngani maritjila wiri, ngani tanangu terti terkanani: «Nari jiritjinandru ngani karari jurangundru kalalaia terkai.»“
22Then Felix, who was well informed about the Way, adjourned the hearing and said, “When Lysias the commander comes, I will decide your case.”
22Felixali jenia ngarana, nulu tanani poto karari worani patana wonti, ngangau nulu morla talku ngujamana wonti nunkangupini paltundru, ja nau jatana wonti: „Lysias juljaia kapara ngarinani, ngato jurani poto ngujamala nganai.“
23He ordered the centurion to keep Paul under guard, but to allow him some freedom and permit his friends to minister to his needs.
23Ja nulu juljaia kaparani jirijiribana wonti, nulu Paulus ngamalkananto, nau manju ngamananto, ja wata nunkani kamaneli kulnujeli daudauananto nunkani mili nganala kara nunkangu wokarala kara.
24After several days, Felix returned with his wife Drusilla, who was a Jewess. He sent for Paul and listened to him speak about faith in Christ Jesus.
24Ditji palpani ngadani Felix wokarana wonti, Drusilla noani nunkanani jela, nani Juda widla nganana wonti, ja nulu Paulus karkana wonti, ja nina Christungu morlalu ngundranandru ngarana wonti.
25As Paul expounded on righteousness, self-control, and the coming judgment, Felix became frightened and said, “You may go for now. When I find the time, I will call for you.”
25Ja nulu talkulandru, ja ninta pirna ngamanandru, ja kalalandru, nau wokarala nganai, nunkangu kaukaubanani, Felix japali pantjina wonti ja kalabana wonti: „Karari wapau; ngato miljaru manju mankamankanani, ngato jidna nakaldra karkala nganai.“
26At the same time, he was hoping that Paul would offer him a bribe. So he sent for Paul frequently and talked with him.
26Nulu bakana kalkana wonti, Paululu nunkangu mardatandra jinkinanto, nulu nina kurakananto; jendrangundruja nulu nina bakana pota palpa karkana wonti, ja nunkangu ngankamalina wonti.
27After two years had passed, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus. And wishing to do the Jews a favor, Felix left Paul in prison.
27Kilpawoldra mandruni Portius Festus Felixangu karipaterina wonti; ja ngangau Felix ngantjana wonti Juda kanandru jurakokani manila, nulu Paulus kanjangari pungani worani patana wonti.
