Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1In the meantime, a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling one another. Jesus began to speak first to His disciples: “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
1Jendranguta kana wolara mapaterina wonti 1000 marapu jelalu, jeruja tana tidnali dakamalina wonti. Ja Nulu wonina wonti milini nunkanani jatala: „Ngopera Pharisaiaia pulkurutjeribani bukandru ngamalkaterianau, jenipara jeljujelju.
2There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.
2Ngangau panila kuripi nganai, nau wata tinkari pantjila nganai; ja panila kurukuru nganai, nina tanali wata ngujamala nganai.
3What you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the housetops.
3Jendrania, mina jura ngalpurani jatana warai, jenia tanali praitjani ngarala nganai! ja mina jura talpani punga bitini kaukaubana warai, jenia tanali punga mangatandrani kaukaubala nganai.
4I tell you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.
4Ngani jurangu, kamanelini ngakanani, jatai: Wata tanangundru japali ngananau, tanali palku nari ngankai, ja ngadani tana ngandandariai morla ngankala.
5But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear the One who, after you have been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear Him!
5Ngato jurangu wondrala nganai, worangundru jura japali nganananto; nunkangundru japali ngananau, Nulia matja nari ngankana, bakana ngurula ngamalkai turuja teribala; kau, ngani jurangu jatai, nunkangundru japali ngananau.
6Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.
6Tanali wata tiwilitja mara worali mardatandra waka mandrundru jinkimaliai? ja Goda wata kulno tanangundru kuritarana warai.
7And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
7Bakana para pratjana jurani mangatandrani matja windamana. Wata japali ngananau; ngangau jura morla pirna nganai tiwilitja marapuni.
8I tell you, everyone who confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess him before the angels of God.
8Ngani jurangu jatai: Warle ngana dikala nganai kanani, nina bakana Kanaia Ngatamurajeli dikala nganai Godaia angelani.
9But whoever denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.
9Warle ngana kutikutibala nganai kanani, nina ngato kutikutibala nganai Godaia angelani.
10And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
10Ja warle jaura madlentji jatanani Kanaia Ngatamurani, nunkangu Nulia kalingala nganai; ja warle Jaola kulikiri ngirkibai, nunkangu Nulia wata kalingala nganai.
11When you are brought before synagogues, rulers, and authorities, do not worry about how to defend yourselves or what to say.
11Tanali jurana jaura pungani ja mitaia kaparani ja ngurulani wapalkanani, wata manujeli ngundranau worderu kara, mina kara jura kalabananto kara jatananto kara.
12For at that time the Holy Spirit will teach you what you should say.”
12Ngangau Jaolali kulikirieli jurana nunkangupini ditjini kiri ngankala nganai, mina jura jatananto.“
13Someone in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
13Kana wolarandru kulno nunkangu jatana wonti: „Ngujangujara jinkinietjajai, nejini ugakanani jatamai, nulungali poto maratunka puntibananto.“
14But Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed Me judge or executor between you?”
14Nau nunkangu jatana wonti: „Kanajai, warlenulu ngana talku jatanietja kara, poto maratunka puntibijiribanietja jurangu kurana warai?“
15And He said to them, “Watch out! Guard yourselves against every form of greed, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”
15Nau tanangu jatana wonti: „Najinajibaterianau ja ngamalkaterianau poto manujeli ngundranadru; ngangau kana kulno wata tepiriai, nulu poto marapu ngamalkanani.“
16Then He told them a parable: “The ground of a certain rich man produced an abundance.
16Nulu tanangu jeribaka jaura kaukaubana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Kana poto pirnaia mitali marapu mandrana wonti.
17So he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, since I have nowhere to store my crops?’
17Ja nulu muntali ngundrana wonti ja jatana wonti: «Mina ngato ngankala nganai, ngangau ngato wata piri ngamalkai, woderi ngato tandra ngakani kurananto?»
18Then he said, ‘This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and will build bigger ones, and there I will store up all my grain and my goods.
18Ja Nau jatana wonti: Jenia ngato ngankala nganai; Ngato kampani punga ngakani wokaribala nganai ja morla pirna wotila nganai, ja jerra ngato pratjana kurala nganai, mina ngakangu matja punkana, ja poto ngakani.
19Then I will say to myself, “You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take it easy. Eat, drink, and be merry!”’
19Ja ngani mungarani ngakanani jatala nganai: «Mungarajai, jundru poto marapu ngamalkai kilpawoldra marapuja; ngara ngamamai, tajiau, tapau, tepiriau!»
20But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be required of you. Then who will own what you have accumulated?’
20Goda nunkangu jatana wonti: «Jidni kana patipatiai! nunkangupini tinkani Nulia mungara jinkani karkala nganai; wanini jenia nganala nganai, mina jundru matja ngankingana?»
21This is how it will be for anyone who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich toward God.”
21Jeruja nau nganai, nulu nunkangu muntali poto kampai, ja wata poto pirna nganai Godani.“
22Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear.
22Nau milini nunkanani jatana wonti: „Jendrania ngani jurangu jatai: Wata manujeli ngundranau tepini juranani, mina jura tajila nganai, bakana wata palkuni juranani, mina jura widmaterila nganai.
23For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.
23Tepi morla pirna nganai bukani, ja palku morla pirna katini.
24Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storehouse or barn; yet God feeds them. How much more valuable you are than the birds!
24Kawalka najianau; ngangau tanalia wata jaupai ja wata kampai, ja wata tajina pnnga ja kampani punga ngamalkai, ja Godali tananaia jerto ngankai; worderu morla pirna jura nganai paiani?
25Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
25Worana jurangundru ngurunguru nganai, tepini nunkanani tintipidi kulno juri ngankala manujeli ngundraterinali?
26So if you cannot do such a small thing, why do you worry about the rest?
26Jura ngandandarinani wakawakani, minandru jura manujeli ngundrai pilkilani?
27Consider how the lilies grow: They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.
27Ngunandula najianau, worderu tanaia punkai; tanalia wata ngankai ja wata turpai; ngani jurangu jatai: Bakana Salomo pirnalani nunkanani pratjanani wata widmaterina wonti tanangundru kulnuni jeribaka.
28If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith!
28Godali kanta jeruja widmanani, nauja karari maruni terkai, ja tankubana tanali ninaia turupirini worai; worderu morla jurangu, jura wuldrungundranietja worajai!
29And do not be concerned about what you will eat or drink. Do not worry about it.
29Bakana jura wata manujeli ngundranau, mina jura tajila nganai kara, mina jura tapala nganai kara, ja wata milkirianau!
30For the Gentiles of the world strive after all these things, and your Father knows that you need them.
30Jenia pratjana mitaia kanali wontiai; Ngaperi jurani milkila, jura jenia pratjana ngamalkananto.
31But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added unto you.
31Wontianau Godaia milila, ja jenia pratjana Nulia jurangu jinkila nganai.
32Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.
32Wata japali ngangau, ngangau jidni ngami wakawaka; ngangau Ngaperi jurani jertapaterina wonti jurangu milila jinkila.
33Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide yourselves with purses that will not wear out, an inexhaustible treasure in heaven, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.
33Buru ngankanau mina jura ngamalkai, ja wangiwangini bakujeli jinkianau. Jurangu billi ngankanau, tana wata womala pantjiai; poto pariwilpani nau wata mudai, woderi kurikantji wata karakara wokarai, ja bakana wata kakatjieli tajiai.
34For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
34Ngangau woderi ngantjani poto jurani parai, naka bakana jurani ngara nganai.
35Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning.
35Jura kapa ngampianau, ja praitji jurani mintjianau.
36Then you will be like servants waiting for their master to return from the wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks, they can open the door for him at once.
36Jenipara kanani jeribaka ngananau, tanali kaparani tananani kalkai, nunkangu nurujeli mana walto ngankala, nau noapatamalini ditjindru wokarala tikanani ja nandranandranani.
37Blessed are those servants whom the master finds on watch when he returns. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve and will have them recline at the table, and he himself will come and wait on them.
37Murlali pirna tanapara mili, tanana kaparali tananali, nau wokarana tikanani, tepi mankamankala nganai. Morlalu ngani jurangu jatai: «Nau ngampipaterila nganai, ja tanangu manuni kurala nganai kurlini ngamana ngarinanto, ja nau wapala nganai tanangu mili nganala.»
38Even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night and finds them alert, those servants will be blessed.
38Ja nau tinka terti kara, nguramaranaia woljaia kara wokaranani, ja tanana jeruja mankamankanani: Murlali pirna tanapini mili!
39But understand this: If the homeowner had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into.
39Jenia ngujamanau, punga ngamalkanietja milkila ngananani, mina ditji tinkani kurikantji wokarai, nau tepi ngamala nganai ja ngandrawalkala nganai, nau wata pungani nunkanani wirinanto.
40You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.”
40Bakana jura ngankingaterianau! ngangau ditji kulnuni, nina jura wata ngundrai, Kanaia Ngatamura wokarala nganai.“
41“Lord,” said Peter, “are You addressing this parable to us, or to everyone else as well?”
41Petrus nunkangu jatana wonti: „Kaparajai, jidni ninapini jeribaka jaura ngaianingu jatai kara marapuni kara.“
42And the Lord answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their portion at the proper time?
42Kapara jatana wonti: „Worana punga ngamalkanietja talku ja kiri nganai, nina kaparali najinajibanietja milini nunkanani kurala nganai, nulu tanangu buka ditji talkuni jinkinanto.
43Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.
43Murlali pirna jenipara mili, nina kaparali nunkanali, nau wokarana tikanani, jeruja ngankanani mankamankala nganai.
44Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.
44Morlalu ngani jurangu jatai: Nulu nina kapara kurala nganai nunkani poto pratjanani.
45But suppose that servant says in his heart, ‘My master will be a long time in coming,’ and he begins to beat the menservants and maidservants, and to eat and drink and get drunk.
45Naupara mili ngarali nunkanali jatanani: Kapara ngakani kalkai wokarala, ja nau woninani mili materi ja mili widla nandrala, tajila ja tapala ja parawarala.
46The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate. Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.
46Jenipara milia kapara wokarala nganai miljaru kulnuni, nina nulu wata ngundrai, ja ditji kulnuni, nina nulu wata ngujamai, ja nina terti tjelapalkala nganai, ja nunkangu kalala nunkani kana tjikatjikani jeribaka kurala nganai.
47That servant who knows his master’s will but does not get ready or follow his instructions will be beaten with many blows.
47Jenipara milieli, nulu kaparaia nunkanaia jertapaterina ngujamai, ja wata ngankingana warai, ja bakana jertapaterinani nunkanani wata pankina warai, nandrana marapu manila nganai.
48But the one who unknowingly does things worthy of punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and from him who has been entrusted with much, even more will be demanded.
48Warle nina wata ngujamana warai, ja jenia ngankana warai, minandru nulu nandrana maninanto, nulu nandrana ngalje manila nganai. Nunkangundru, nunkangu marapu matja jinkina, Nulia marapu wontila nganai; ja worangu Nulia marapu jinkina warai, morla marapu Nulia nunkangundru karkala nganai.
49I have come to ignite a fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!
49Ngani wokarana wonti turu mitani worala, ja ngato ngantjai, nau matja jerkinanto!
50But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!
50Multibanila kulno ngato maninanto, ja worderu japali ngani nganai nau mudanantulu!
51Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but division.
51Wata ngundranau, ngani wokarana warai murla jinkila mitani, a‐ai, windri puntibala.
52From now on, five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three.
52Ngangau kararindru mara wora punga kulnuni puntibijiribamalila nganai; parkulu mandruni ja mandru parkulani.
53They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”
53Ngaperali puntibala nganai ngatamurani ja ngatamurajeli ngaperani; ngandrieli ngatani mankarani ja ngatani mankarali ngandrini; paiarali kalarani nankanani, ja kalarali paiarani nankanani.“
54Then Jesus said to the crowds, “As soon as you see a cloud rising in the west, you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and that is what happens.
54Nau bakana kana wolarani jatana wonti: „Jura talara palku kulno kalkaura jendakarani dunkanani najinani, jura nurujeli jatai: Kunditji wokarai, ja jeruja morlalu pantjiai.
55And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It will be hot,’ and it is.
55Ja jura kunankari watara ngakanani najinani, jura jatai: «Woldra pirna pantjila nganai, ja jeruja morlalu pantjiai.»
56You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and sky. Why don’t you know how to interpret the present time?
56Jura kana jeljujelju! mitaia ja pariwilpaia mudla jura ngujamai wontjala; minandru jura ninapini miljaru wata wontjai?
57And why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?
57Minandru jura wata muntali tjurujeli ngundrai mina talku nganai?
58Make every effort to reconcile with your adversary while you are on your way to the magistrate. Otherwise, he may drag you off to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and the officer may throw you into prison.
58Ngangau jidni talpalani jinkanani jelalu mitaia kaparani wapanani, paltuni jigleri ngankau nunkangu kulnukulnuni nganala; ngangau nulu jidnana kalala kuranietjani wapal‐kaiati, ja kalala kuranietjali jidnana milini jinkiati, ja milieli jidnana kanjangari pungani widmaiati.
59I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the very last penny.”
59Morlalu ngani jinkangu jatai: «Jidni wata morla nakandru dunkala nganai, jundru ngopera mudani marda jinkinantulu.»“
