Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1In those days when the disciples were increasing in number, the Grecian Jews among them began to grumble against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food.
1Tanangupini ditjini mili morla marapu pantjinani, Grieka kana buljubuljurina wonti Juda kanani, ngangau tanali tanani mangawaru kuritarana wonti ditji pratjanaia jinkini.
2So the Twelve summoned all the disciples and said, “It is unacceptable for us to neglect the word of God in order to wait on tables.
2Marapratjana ja mandrujeli mili wolara jela karkana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Jenia wata ngumu nganai, ngaiana Godaia jaura worani patanani ja kurlia mili ngamanani.
3Therefore, brothers, select from among you seven men confirmed to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will appoint this responsibility to them
3Ngatata worajai! Materi mara wora ja mandru jurangundru wontianau, tanangundru kana ngumu jatai, Jaolali kulikirieli ja kirieli manamiri, tanana ngaiana kurananto nunkangupini manginani.
4and will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”
4Ngaiana milingeru ngatjinanto ja Godaia jauraia ngamalkijiribananto.“
5This proposal pleased the whole group. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, as well as Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas from Antioch, a convert to Judaism.
5Ja mili wolarali ninapini jaura ngantjana wonti; ja tanali Stephanus, kana kulno morlalu ngundrani, ja Jaolali kulikirieli manamiri, kalkalkana wonti, ja Philippus ja Prochorus ja Nikanor ja Timon ja Parmenas, ja Juda kanaia kamaneli Nikolaus Antiochiala.
6They presented these seven to the apostles, who prayed and laid their hands on them.
6Tananapini tanali Apostel worangu terkibana wonti, ja tanali matja ngatjina, tanali tanangu mara kuraterina wonti.
7So the word of God continued to spread. The number of disciples in Jerusalem grew rapidly, and a great number of priests became obedient to the faith.
7Ja Godaia jaura punkana wonti, ja mili pirna marapurina wonti Jerusalemani, ja bakana Priesta marapujeli morlalu ngundranani pankina wonti. (Dakani jaura Stephani ditjini.)
8Now Stephen, who was full of grace and power, was performing great wonders and signs among the people.
8Stephanulu, morlalu ngundranali ja ngurulali manamiri, pirnala ja malka pirna kana wolarani ngankana wonti.
9But resistance arose from what was called the Synagogue of the Freedmen, including Cyrenians, Alexandrians, and men from the provinces of Cilicia and Asia. They began to argue with Stephen,
9Palpa terkakana wonti tanangundru, tana Libertinaia ja Kyrenaia ja Alexandrinaia jaura pungandru nganana wonti, ja tanangundru, tana Ciliciala ja Asiala nganana wonti, Stephanusungu tjurbuwijiribamalila.
10but they could not stand up to his wisdom or the Spirit by whom he spoke.
10Ja tana ngandandarina wonti tjakakala kirilani ja jaolani, waninali nulu kaukaubana wonti.
11Then they prompted some men to say, “We heard Stephen speak words of blasphemy against Moses and against God.”
11Ngadani tanali palpali manawalkurali jinkina wonti, tana jatananto: „Ngaiani ninaia ngarana warai ngirkibani jaura jatanani Mosingu ju Godangu.“
12So they stirred up the people, elders, and scribes and confronted Stephen. They seized him and brought him before the Sanhedrin,
12Ja tanali kana wolara ja pinaru ja jaura jinkinietja patijiritjibana wonti, ja wokarana wonti, ja tanali nina diadialkana wonti, ja nina kana kaparani wapalkana wonti,
13where they presented false witnesses who said, “This man never stops speaking against this holy place and against the law.
13Ja tanali jedikantji tinkari ngankanietja terkibana wonti, tana jatana wonti: „Nulupini kanali wata mudai ngirkibani jaura jatala nunkangupini piri kulikirini ja jirijiribani jaurani.
14For we have heard him say that Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and change the customs that Moses handed down to us.”
14Ngangau ngaiani ninaia ngarana warai jatanani: Nulupini Jesujeli Nazarethalali ninapini piri tampuribala nganai, ja tananapini mangani, tanana ngaianangu Mosili jinkina wonti, pilki kurala nganai.“
15All who were sitting in the Sanhedrin looked intently at Stephen, and they saw that his face was like the face of an angel.
15Ja pratjana, tana kana kaparani ngamana wonti, nina ngurutalpana najina wonti, ja tanali mudla nunkani najina wonti angelaia mudla jeribaka.
