Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1What causes conflicts and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from the passions at war within you?
1Wodajerindru tirimalini ja wodajerindru jatamalini jurangu jela? Wata jendrangundruja, ngangau jurani milkirina tirimaliai jurani buruni?
2You crave what you do not have; you kill and covet, but are unable to obtain it. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask.
2Jura milkiriai, ja wata ngamalkai; jura naria nandrai ja kiri najiai, ja ngandandariai ninaia manila; jura jatamaliai ja tirimaliai, ja panila ngamalkai, ngangau jura wata ngatjiai.
3And when you do ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may squander it on your pleasures.
3Jura ngatjiai, ja wata maniai, ngangau jura baku ngatjiai, jura jenia jurani jertapaterinani julkananto.
4You adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore, whoever chooses to be a friend of the world renders himself an enemy of God.
4Jura materi pintawokaribanietja ja widla pintawokaripanietja, jura wata milkila, mitala kamaneli Godaia tula nganai? Warle ngantjai mitala kamaneli nganala, nau Godaia tula ngankateriai.
5Or do you think the Scripture says without reason that the Spirit He caused to dwell in us yearns with envy?
5Jura ngundrai kara, jaura wora baku jatai: Milkirinali Jaolali ngantjai, ninaia Nulia ngaianangu kurana wonti?
6But He gives us more grace. This is why it says: “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
6Manjula morla pirna Nulia jinkiai. Jendrangundruja dakanala parai: „Pirna ngundraterinietjani Godali tirimaliai, ja waka ngundranietjani Nulia manjula jinkiai.“
7Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
7Godani wodatarana ngamanau. Kutjini tirimalianau, jeruja nau kutingala nganai jurangundru.
8Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
8Karakararianau Godani, ja Nauja jurangu karakararila nganai. Mara kulirkaterianau, kana madlentjajai, ja ngara jurani ninta pirna ngankaterianau, jura ngara pudlamandru.
9Grieve, mourn, and weep. Turn your laughter to mourning, and your joy to gloom.
9Burkaljerianau ja ngaurongauro ngamanau ja jindranau; kinkani jurani ngaurongauraia karitjinanto ja mankini wurpuraia.
10Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you.
10Kaparani waka ngankaterianau, ja Nulia jurana miri ngankala nganai.
11Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. And if you judge the law, you are not a practitioner of the law, but a judge of it.
11Wata ngulkuterkijiribamalianimai, ngatata worajai! Warle ngatata kulnuni ngulkuterkai, ja nunkani ngatatani kara kalala kurai, nulu jirijiribani jaurani ngulkuterkai, ja jirijiribani jaurani kalala kurai. Jundru jirijiribani jaurani kalala kuranani, jidni wata jirijiribani jauraia ngankanietja, a‐ai, kalala kuranietja nganai.
12There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the One who is able to save and destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?
12Kulno jirijiribani jaura jinkinietja ja kalala kuranietja nganai, Nauja ngurunguru nganai kulkala ja teribala. Worana jidni nganai, jundru ngatatani kalala kurai?
13Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business, and make a profit.”
13Mai jura, jura jatai: Karari kara tankubana kara ngaiani nguraia nunkanika kara nunkanika kara palkala nganai, ja naka kilpawoldra kulno ngamala nganai, ja jinkimalila nganai, ja kalikalipaterila nganai;
14You do not even know what will happen tomorrow! What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.
14Ja jura ko nganai mina tankubana nganala nganai. Ngangau mina tepi jurani nganai? Nauja jukati nganai, nina kanali wordu najiai, ngadani nau kutingai.
15Instead, you ought to say, “If the Lord is willing, we will live and do this or that.”
15Jura kantji jatananto: Kapara jertapaterinani, ja ngaiani tepi ngamanani, ngaiani jenia kara jenia kara ngankala nganai.
16As it is, you boast in your proud intentions. All such boasting is evil.
16Ja karari jura jurakokateriai jurani pirna ngankaterinali. Jenipara jurakokaterina madlentji nganai.
17Anyone, then, who knows the right thing to do, yet fails to do it, is guilty of sin.
17Warle milkila ngumu ngankala ja wata ngankai, nunkangu jenia madlentji nganai.
