Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1Jesus also said to His disciples, “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.
1Nau bakana milini nunkanani jatana wonti: „Kana kulno poto pirna nganana wonti, nulu ngamalkiribanietja ngamalkana wonti; ja nina tanali nunkangu ngulkuterkana wonti, ngangau nulu poto nunkani duljaduljamanala.“
2So he called him in to ask, ‘What is this I hear about you? Turn in an account of your management, for you cannot be manager any longer.’
2Ja nulu nina karkana wonti ja nunkangu jatana wonti: „Mina ngato jinkangundru ngarai? Ngamalkijiribanandru windamau, ngangau jidni ngandandariai morla ngankijiribala.“
3The manager said to himself, ‘What shall I do, now that my master is taking away my position? I am too weak to dig and too ashamed to beg.
3Ngamalkiribanietja warawarapaterina wonti: „Mina ngato ngankananto? Ngangau kaparali ngakanali ngamalkijiribanila ngakangundru maniai. Ngani ngandandariai bakula, ja ngani nintali nganai tjambatjambala,
4I know what I will do, so that after my removal from management, people will welcome me into their homes.’
4Ngani milkila, mina ngato ngankala nganai, nulu ngamalkijiribanila ngakangundru mamanani, tanali ngana patananto pungaia tananaia.“
5And he called in each one of his master’s debtors. ‘How much do you owe my master?’ he asked the first.
5Ja nulu kaparaia nunkanaia kana poto wilpanto kulno ja kulno karkana wonti ja ngoperalani jatana wonti: „Worderuntja jundru kaparani ngakanani poto wilpanto nganai?“
6‘A hundred measures of olive oil,’ he answered. ‘Take your bill,’ said the manager. ‘Sit down quickly, and write fifty.’
6Nau jatana wonti: „100 koko gildi;“ ja nau nunkangu jatana wonti: „Talpadakani dakani jinkani patamai, ngamana ngariau, ja nurujeli dakamai 50.“
7Then he asked another, ‘And how much do you owe?’ ‘A hundred measures of wheat,’ he replied. ‘Take your bill and write eighty,’ he told him.
7Ngadani nau kulnuni jatana wonti: „Ja jundru, worderuntja jundru poto wilpanto nganai?“ Nau jatana wonti: „100 billi buka tandra.“ Ja nau nunkangu jatana wonti: „Talpadakani dakani jinkani patau, ja dakamai 80.“
8The master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly. For the sons of this age are more shrewd in dealing with their own kind than are the sons of light.
8Ja kaparali ngamalkiribanietja tjikatjika jurakokana wonti, ngangau nulu kiri ngankana wonti; ngangau nunkanipini mitaia kupa morla kiri nganai praitjaia kupani ngujani tananani.
9I tell you, use worldly wealth to make friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, they will welcome you into eternal dwellings.
9Ja ngani jurangu jatai: „Jura jurangu muntali kamaneli ngankanimai mamon wata talkuni; ngangau nau mudanani, tanali jurana patala nganai punga nguralia.
10Whoever is faithful with very little will also be faithful with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.
10Worana talku nganai wakawakani, nau bakana pirnani talku nganai; ja worana wata talku nganai wakawakani, nau bakana pirnani wata talku nganai.
11So if you have not been faithful with worldly wealth, who will entrust you with true riches?
11Jura mamon wata talkuni wata talkurinani, warle jurangu morlalulali jinkila nganai?
12And if you have not been faithful with the belongings of another, who will give you belongings of your own?
12Ja jura tulani wata talkurinani, warle jurangu juranani jinkila nganai?
13No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”
13Pungaia mili kulno ngandandariai kapara mandruni mili ngamala; nau kulnuni kalakalarila nganai, ja kulno nulu ngantjala nganai kara, kulnuni nau wodatarana ngamala nganai, ja kulnuni gilbarila nganai kara. Jura ngandandariai Godani ja Mamonani mili ngamala.“
14The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all of this and were scoffing at Jesus.
14Jenia pratjana Pharisaiali ngarana wonti, tanali mardatandra manujeli ngundrana wonti; ja tanali nina ngirkibana wonti.
15So He said to them, “You are the ones who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is prized among men is detestable before God.
15Nau tanangu jatana wonti: „Jura jenipara nganai, tana munta talku wondrateriai kanani, ja Godali ngara jurani ngujamai. Ngangau jenia, mina kanani pirna nganai, Godani tjikatjika nganai.
16The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John. Since that time, the gospel of the kingdom of God is being preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.
16Jirijiribani jaura ja Propheta Johaningulu; nunkangupini ditjindru tanali ngantjani jaura Godaia mililandru kaukaubai, ja kana pratjanali ngurujeli nunkangu jeniai.
17But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for a single stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law.
17Morla ngaua nganai pariwilpa ja mita mudanani, tjilpi waka kulno jirijiribani jaurandru purinani.
18Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
18Warlenulu noa nunkani worarai, ja kulno nguru patai, nulu pinta wokaribai; ja warlenulu jenipara, materali matja worarana, patai, bakana pinta wokaribai. (Ngantjani‐jaura G. D. 1. Trinitatis.)
19Now there was a rich man dressed in purple and fine linen, who lived each day in joyous splendor.
19Kana kulno poto pirna nganana wonti, nau kati tjanka waru ja maralje widmaterina wonti, ja ditjini warupotuni tepi ngumu ngankaterina wonti, ja mankina wonti.
20And a beggar named Lazarus lay at his gate, covered with sores
20Ja kana wangiwangi nganana wonti, tala nunkani Lazarus, naupini punga manani nunkanani parana wonti gambanto.
21and longing to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.
21Ja nau ngalkujeli nganana wonti buka murujeli jerturila, tana kana poto pirnaia kurlindru purinani; ja kintala wokarana wonti ja nina tapa talieli tapana wonti.
22One day the beggar died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. And the rich man also died and was buried.
22Jendranguta kana wangiwangi palina wonti, ja angelali nina taralkana wonti Abrahamangu ngalpaia. Ja kana poto pirna bakana palina wonti, ja tanali nina todina wonti.
23In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham from afar, with Lazarus by his side.
23Ja turuni nau milki tjenmana tarana wonti, ngangau nau ketjaketjanani nganana wonti; ja nulu Abraham woritandra najina wonti, ja Lazarus nunkangu ngalpani.
24So he cried out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue. For I am in agony in this fire.’
24Ja nau karkana wonti ja jatana wonti: «Ngaperiai Abraham, kalumiltjamiltjariau ngakangu, ja Lazarus jinpamai, nau maramoku ngapani multibaterinanto ngana tali malti ngankala; ngangau ngani pirna ketjaketjai nunkanguja turu jaolani.»
25But Abraham answered, ‘Child, remember that during your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things. But now he is comforted here, while you are in agony.
25Abraham jatana wonti: «Ngundrau ngatamurajai, ngumula jinkani jundru manina wonti tepiwirdi, ja Lazarulu madlentji manina wonti; ja karari nulu ninkida ngankalkana maniai, ja jundru ketjaketjana.
26And besides all this, a great chasm has been fixed between us and you, so that even those who wish cannot cross from here to you, nor can anyone cross from there to us.’
26Ja bakana dulkuru pirna parai ngaianingu ja jurangu terti, jeruja tana ninkidandru jertapaterinani jerra pararala, jenia ngandandariai, ja bakana tana ninkindrupara ngandandariai ngaianingu pararala.»
27‘Then I beg you, father,’ he said, ‘send Lazarus to my father’s house,
27Nau jatana wonti: «Ngani jinkangu ngatjiai, ngaperiai, jundru ninapara jinpananto ngakani ngaperaia pungaia.
28for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also end up in this place of torment.’
28Ngangau ngatata mara wora ngato ngamalkai: tanangu nulupara morlalu kurananto, tana nunkangupini ketjaketjani pirini wokaraiati.»
29But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; let your brothers listen to them.’
29Abraham nunkangu jatana wonti: «Tanali Mose ja Propheta worana ngamalkai, tanali tananaka ngaraiatinimai.»
30‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone is sent to them from the dead, they will repent.’
30Nau jatana wonti: «A‐ai, ngaperiai Abraham, narila kulno wokaranani, jeruja tana madlentjandru karitjila nganai.»
31Then Abraham said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.’”
31Nau nunkangu jatana wonti: «Tanali Mose ja Propheta worana bulu ngaranani, tanali bakana wata morlalu ngundrala nganai narila terkakanani.»“
