Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1What I am saying is that as long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a slave, although he is the owner of everything.
1Ngani jatai: Jeruntja ditji maratunka maninietja kupa nganai, nau milini jeribaka nganai, ja kantji warupotuja kapara nau nganai;
2He is subject to guardians and trustees until the date set by his father.
2A‐ai, nau najinajibanietjani ja ngamalkanietjani ngamai, nunkangupini ditjielu, nina ngaperali kurana warai.
3So also, when we were children, we were enslaved under the basic principles of the world.
3Jeruja bakana ngaiani, ngaiani kupa ngananani, ngaiani jirijiribani jaurani dupudupu nganana wonti.
4But when the time had fully come, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born under the law,
4Ditji matja wokaranani, Godali Ngatamura nunkani jinpana wonti, Nauja widlandru dankana wonti, ja Nulia ninaia jirijiribani jauraia ngalpani kurana wonti,
5to redeem those under the law, that we might receive our adoption as sons.
5Nulia tanana, tana jirijiribani jaurani ngalpani ngamanani, dukarana burungankananto, ngaiani kupalali maninanto.
6And because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!”
6Ngangau jura ngatamura nganai, Godali Ngatamuraia Jaola ngaianini ngarani jinpana wonti, nulupini karkai: „Abba, Ngaperiai!“
7So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, you are also an heir through God.
7Jeruja jidni wata morla mili nganai, a‐ai, ngatamura. Jidni ngatamura ngananani, jeruja bakana Godaia maratunka maninietja Christungundru.
8Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods.
8Jendranguta, jura Goda wata ngujamana wonti, jura tanangupini Godani wodatarana ngamana wonti, tana jenia wata kantji nganai;
9But now that you know God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you are turning back to those weak and worthless principles? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again?
9Karari, jura Goda matja ngujamana, morla talku, Godali jurana matja ngujamana, minandru jura nakaldra karitjiai jirijiribani jaura wangiwangini ja waltowaltuni, ja ngantjai tanangu nakaldra wodatarana ngamala?
10You are observing special days and months and seasons and years!
10Jura ditji ja pira ja miljaru ja kilpawoldra ngundrai;
11I fear for you, that my efforts for you may have been in vain.
11Ngani japali nganai jurangundru, ngato bakujeli jurangu matja ngankana warai kara.
12I beg you, brothers, become like me, for I became like you. You have done me no wrong.
12Ngakangu jeribaka pantjianau, ngangau ngani jurangu jeribaka nganai, ngatata worajai, ngani jurangu ngantjai, jura ngana wata ngaurongauro ngankana warai;
13You know that it was because of an illness that I first preached the gospel to you.
13Jura milkila, ngato palkuja waltowaltundru jurangu ngopera ngantjani jaura kaukaubana wonti,
14And although my illness was a trial to you, you did not despise or reject me. Instead, you welcomed me as if I were an angel of God, as if I were Christ Jesus Himself.
14Ja jura ngana, wontjanilandru ngakangu, palkuni wata waka ngundrana wonti ja wata ngirkibana wonti, a‐ai, jura ngana Godaia angela jeribaka patana wonti, Christus Jesus jeribaka.
15What then has become of your blessing? For I can testify that, if it were possible, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me.
15Worderu murlali pirna jura jendranguta nganana wonti. Ngato jurangu morlalu kurai, jenia wata ngandandarinani, jura jendranguta jurani milki dukaraterinala ja ngakangu jinkinala.
16Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth?
16Ngani jendrangundruja talpala jurani pantjina warai, ngangau ngani jurangu morlaluta jatana wonti?
17Those people are zealous for you, but not in a good way. Instead, they want to isolate you from us, so that you may be zealous for them.
17Tanali jurangundru wata ngumu manabakapirna ngankai, a‐ai, tanali ngantjai jurana puntibala, jura tanangundru manabakapirna ngankananto.
18Nevertheless, it is good to be zealous if it serves a noble purpose—at any time, and not only when I am with you.
18Manabakapirna ngumu nganai, jenia ngumuni milingeru pantjinani, ja wata windri, ngani jurangu jela ngananani.
19My children, for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you,
19Ngakani kupa worajai, tanangundru ngato nakaldra dankani ketjaketjana ketjaketjai, Christus jurangu mudlamalka pantjinantulu.
20how I wish I could be with you now and change my tone, because I am perplexed about you.
20Ngato ngantjai karari jurangu jela ngamala, ja ngakani ngaiala karitjimalkala; ngangau ngani wurpuru nganai jurangundru. (Dakani jaura Lätare ditjini.)
21Tell me, you who want to be under the law, do you not understand what the law says?
21Ngakangu jatanau, jura jirijiribani jauraia ngalpani jertapateriai ngamala, jura jirijiribani jaura wata ngarai?
22For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman.
22Ngangau dakanala parai: Abrahamali ngatamura mandru ngamalkana wonti; kulno widlala milila, ja kulno kurakanilali.
23His son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, but his son by the free woman was born through the promise.
23Nau widlala milila palkujeli kantji patana wonti; ja nau kurakanilali talpadakani jaurali.
24These things serve as illustrations, for the women represent two covenants. One covenant is from Mount Sinai and bears children into slavery: This is Hagar.
24Nulupini minakulno wondrai; ngangau jenia Testamenta mandru nganai. Kulno Sinai mardawonpandru, milieli dankanaia, naupini Hagar nganai.
25Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present-day Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children.
25Ngangau Arabiala Sinai mardawonpa Hagar dikai, ja jeribaka nganai nunkangupini Jerusalem karari, ngangau nau mili nganai nunkani kupanto.
26But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother.
26Jerusalem miri kurakanila nganai; ja naupini ngaiananaia pratjanaia ngandri nganai.
27For it is written: “Rejoice, O barren woman, who bears no children; break forth and cry aloud, you who have never travailed; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband.”
27Ngangau dakanala parai: Mankiau ngameriai, jundru wata dankai; jurakokau ja karkau, jundru wata mandrantju pantjiai. Ngangau ngameri morla kupa ngamalkai nankangu, nandru noa ngamalkanani.
28Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise.
28Jura, ngatata worajai, Isaakani nguja nganai; talpadakani jauraia kupa.
29At that time, however, the son born by the flesh persecuted the son born by the Spirit. It is the same now.
29Worderu jendranguta, nau palkujeli dankana wonti, nunkangu, nau jaolali dankana wonti, tirikaripaterina wonti; jeruja bakana karari.
30But what does the Scripture say? “Expel the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman’s son.”
30Mina Godaia jaura jatai? „Mili widla nankani ngatananto narrau, ngangau mili widlaia ngatanajeli wata maratunka maninanto kurakanilaia ngatanajeli jela.“
31Therefore, brothers, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman.
31Jeruja, ngatata worajai, ngaiana wata mili widlaia ngatani nganai, a‐ai, kurakanilaia.
