Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1And Saul was there, giving approval to Stephen’s death. On that day a great persecution broke out against the church in Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria.
1Saululu nari nunkani ngantjana wonti. Tanangupini ditjini tirikaripaterina pirna pantjina wonti Jerusalem mili wolarani, ja pratjana piltjaru wapana wonti Judaia ja Samariaia mitaia pilki ja pilki, kalitakali Apostel ngamanani.
2God-fearing men buried Stephen and mourned deeply over him.
2Tanali materali, tana Godandru japali, Stephanus todina wonti, ja tana pirna juajuangana wonti nunkangundru.
3But Saul began to destroy the church. Going from house to house, he dragged off men and women and put them in prison.
3Saululu mili wolara tjautjau ngankana wonti, ja nau pungani paruparu wirina wonti, ja materi ja widla watawatali dunkalkana wonti, ja tanana kanjangari pungani ngulkujeli jinkina wonti.
4Those who had been scattered preached the word wherever they went.
4Tana jeruja piltjaru pantjina, morla worita wapana wonti, ja jaura kaukaubana wonti.
5Philip went down to a city in Samaria and proclaimed the Christ to them.
5Philippus Samaria mitaia ngura kulnuja ngarina wonti, ja tanangu Christungundru kaukaubana wonti.
6The crowds gave their undivided attention to Philip’s message and to the signs they saw him perform.
6Kana wolarali kulnukulnuni talpakaldrujeli ngarana wonti nunkangu, mina Philippus jatana wonti, tanali ngaranani ja malka najinani, tanana nulu ngankana wonti.
7With loud shrieks, unclean spirits came out of many who were possessed, and many of the paralyzed and lame were healed.
7Ngangau kana marapu kutji murumurunto naka nganana wonti, tanangundru tanana maritjina pirnali dunkana wonti, ja dupudupu ja tjunduru marapu tepi pantjina wonti.
8So there was great joy in that city.
8Ja mankina pirna pantjina wonti nunkangupini ngurani.
9Prior to that time, a man named Simon had practiced sorcery in the city and astounded the people of Samaria. He claimed to be someone great,
9Materi kulno, tala nunkani Simon, ngopara ngurani ngamana wonti, nau kunki nganana wonti, ja Samaria kana wolara ngaruparibana wonti, ngangau nau jatana wonti: „Ngani pirna nganai.“
10and all the people, from the least to the greatest, heeded his words and said, “This man is the divine power called the Great Power.”
10Nunkangu pratjanali, wakali ja pirnali, pirna ngundrana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Naupini Godaia pirnala nganai, nauja pirna nganai.“
11They paid close attention to him because he had astounded them for a long time with his sorcery.
11Jendrangundruja tanali nina pirna ngundrana wonti, ngangau nulu tanana miljaru wirdi kunki maninali ngaruparibana wonti.
12But when they believed Philip as he preached the gospel of the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
12Tanali Philippungu morlalu ngundranani, nulu Godaia mililandru ja Jesuni Christuni talandru kaukaubanani, tanali materali ja widlali multibanila manina wonti.
13Even Simon himself believed and was baptized. He followed Philip closely and was astounded by the great signs and miracles he observed.
13Bakana Simon muntali morlalu ngundrana wonti, ja multibanila manina wonti, ja Philippungu jela ngamana wonti; ja nulu malka ja ngurula pirna pantjinani najina wonti, nau pirna ngaruparana wonti. (Dakani jaura Jaolaia ditji parkulani.)
14When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them.
14Apostel worali Jerusalemani matja ngarana, Samarialali Godaia jaura patala wiri, tanali tanangu Petrus ja Johannes jinpana wonti.
15On their arrival, they prayed for them to receive the Holy Spirit.
15Pudla ngarina wonti, ja tanangundru ngatjina wonti, tanali Jaola kulikiri maninanto.
16For the Holy Spirit had not yet fallen upon any of them; they had simply been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.
16Ngangau Nauja wata kulnuni tanangundru matja ngarina, a‐ai, tanali windri Kaparaia Christuni tala multibanila manina wonti.
17Then Peter and John laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
17Pudla tanangu mara kuraterina wonti, ja tanali Jaola kulikiri manina wonti.
18When Simon saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money.
18Simonali matja najina, Jaola kulikiri ngarina warai Apostelali mara kuranani, nulu pudlangu mardatandra padakana wonti
19“Give me this power as well,” he said, “so that everyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit.”
19Ja jatana wonti: „Bakana ngakangu ninapini ngurula jinkialumai, ngangau pratjanali, tanangu ngani mara kuraterinani, Jaola kulikiri maninanto.“
20But Peter replied, “May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money!
20Petrus nunkangu jatana wonti: „Jidni ja jinkani mardatandra turuja wirinanto, ngangau jundru ngundrai Godaia poto mardatandrajeli manila.
21You have no part or share in our ministry, because your heart is not right before God.
21Jinkangu wata buru ja wata maratunka parai nunkangupini jaurani, ngangau jidni ngara wata talku nganai Godangu.
22Repent, therefore, of your wickedness, and pray to the Lord. Perhaps He will forgive you for the intent of your heart.
22Nunkangupara jinkani tjikatjikandru karitjiau, ja Godangu ngatjiau, Nulia kara jinkanaia ngaraia ngundrani kalingananto.
23For I see that you are poisoned by bitterness and captive to iniquity.”
23Ngangau ngato najiai, jidni puratandraia kaldrini ja tjikatjikaia dupudupuni wirina warai.“
24Then Simon answered, “Pray to the Lord for me, so that nothing you have said may happen to me.”
24Simonali kalabana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Judla ngakangundru Kaparani ngatjialumai, ngangau panila nunkangundru ngakangu wokarananto, mina judla jatana warai.“
25And after Peter and John had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, preaching the gospel in many of the Samaritan villages.
25Pudla Kaparaia jaura matja tinkari ngankana ja kaukaubana, pudla Jerusalemia tikana wonti, ja pudlali ngantjani jaura kaukaubana wonti Samaritala ngura marapuni.
26Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Get up and go south to the desert road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.”
26Kaparaia angelali Philippungu kaukaubana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Terkakamai, ja kunankaria wapau, nunkangupini paltuni, nau Jerusalemingundru Gazaia ngariai, nau wanka nganai,“
27So he started out, and on his way he met an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official in charge of the entire treasury of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians. He had gone to Jerusalem to worship,
27Ja nau terkakana wonti ja wapana wonti. Ja mai, materi kulno Aethiopiandru, nau eunucha ja Kandace Aethiopia mitaia kaparaia widlaia kana pirna kulno nganana wonti, nina nandru nankani poto pungani kurana wonti, nau Jerusalemingu wokarana wonti ngatjila;
28and on his return was sitting in his chariot reading Isaiah the prophet.
28Ja nau tikana kurana wonti, ja wilparani nunkanani ngamana wonti, ja Propheta Jesaias warapana wonti.
29The Spirit said to Philip, “Go over to that chariot and stay by it.”
29Jaola Philippungu jatana wonti: „Wapau, ja nunkangupini wilparani karakara mindrindiau.“
30So Philip ran up and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. “Do you understand what you are reading?” Philip asked.
30Philippus matja karakara mindrindina wonti, ja nina Prophata Jesaias warapanani ngarana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Jundru bakana ngujamai, mina jundru warapai?“
31“How can I,” he said, “unless someone guides me?” And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.
31Nau jatana wonti: „Worderu ngato ngujamananto, wata kulnujeli ngakangu ngujangujara jinkinani?“ Ja nau Philippungu ngatjina wonti tarananto nunkangu jela ngamala.
32The eunuch was reading this passage of Scripture: “He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb before the shearer is silent, so He did not open His mouth.
32Jaura witta, nina nulu warapanani, naupini nganana wonti: „Tanali ninaia tjipi jeribaka nari nandrala wapalkana wonti; ja Nauja ngapu nganana wonti tjipi kuparu jeribaka nunkani njurdu wokaribanietjani, jeruja Nauja mana wata wilpariai.
33In His humiliation He was deprived of justice. Who can recount His descendants? For His life was removed from the earth.”
33Nunkani wakawakalani kalala nunkani mudana wonti; warle nunkani mardu kaukaubananto? Ngangau nunkani tepi mitandru matja manina.“
34“Tell me,” said the eunuch, “who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?”
34Eunuchali Philippungu kalabana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Ngani jinkangu ngatjiai, worangundru Propheta jenia jatai? Nunkangundru munta kara, kana ngurundru kara?“
35Then Philip began with this very Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus.
35Philippus mana wilparina wonti, ja nunkangupini jaurandru wonina wonti, ja nunkangu ngantjani jaura Jesungundru kaukaubana wonti.
36As they traveled along the road and came to some water, the eunuch said, “Look, here is water! What is there to prevent me from being baptized?”
36Pudla paltuwirdi wapana, pudla ngapani wokarana wonti, ja eunucha jatana wonti: „Najiau, ninkida ngapa nganai! Minali ngandrawalkai, ngato multibanila maninanto?“
no verse 37 in this text
37Philippus jatana wonti: „Jundru ngarali morlalu ngundranani, jenia pantjinanto.“ Nulu kalabana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Ngato morlalu ngundrai Jesus Christus Godaia Ngatamura nganai.“
38And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water, and Philip baptized him.
38Ja nulu jirijiribana wonti wilpara banbananto, ja pudla ngapaia ngarina wonti, Philippus ja eunucha, ja nulu nina multibana wonti.
39When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord carried Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more, but went on his way rejoicing.
39Pudla ngapandru matja dunkana tarana, Kaparaia Jaolali Philippus tjirimalkana wonti; ja eunuchali nina wata morla najina wonti; ja nau mankinali nunkani paltuni palkana wonti.
40But Philip appeared at Azotus and traveled through that region, preaching the gospel in all the towns until he came to Caesarea.
40Tanali Philippus Asdod ngurani mankamankana wonti. Ja nau wirarina wonti, ja nulu ngantjani jaura kaukaubana wonti ngura pratjanani, nau Cäsarea wokaranantulu.
