Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who then is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”
1Nunkangupini ditjini mili Jesungu wokarana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Worana pariwilpaia mililani morla pirna nganai?“
2Jesus invited a little child to stand among them.
2Ja Jesujeli kupa waka karkana wonti ja tanangu terti terkibana wonti,
3“Truly I tell you,” He said, “unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
3Ja jatana wonti: „Morlalu ngani jurangu jatai: Jura wata karitjinani ja kupa wakawaka jeribaka pantjinani, jura morlalu wata pariwilpaia mililani wirila nganai.
4Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
4Worana waka ngankateriai nunkangupini kupani jeribaka, naupini pariwilpaia mililani morla pirna nganai;
5And whoever welcomes a little child like this in My name welcomes Me.
5Ja warle jenipara kupa waka kulno patai talani ngakanani, nulupini ngana patai.
6But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
6Warle tanangundru kulno wakawaka, ngakangu morlalu ngundranani, karkarkai, nunkangu ngumu nganai, marda wati jerkalani kurananto ja nina panto mandrani terti jikananto.
7Woe to the world for the causes of sin. These stumbling blocks must come, but woe to the man through whom they come!
7Jakajai mitani karkarkanandru! Karkarkana kantji nganananto, ja jakajai nunkangupini kanani, nulu karkarkai.
8If your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life crippled or lame than to have two hands and two feet and be thrown into the eternal fire.
8Marali kara, tidnali kara jidnana karkarkanani, ninaia wokaribamai jo jinkangundru woramai; Ngumu jinkangu nganai, tidna wordu kara, nguna wordu kara, tepini wirila; tanali jidna mara mandrunto kara, tidna mandrunto kara turu nguralia woraiati.
9And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.
9Ja milkieli jidnana karkarkanani, ninaia dukaramai, ja jinkangundru woramai; Ngumu jinkangu nganai, milki kulnunto tepini wirila; tanali jidna milki mandrunto turu pirnaia woraiati.
10See that you do not look down on any of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of My Father in heaven.
10Ngamalkaterianau, jura kulno tanangundru wakawaka waka ngundraiati; ngangau ngani jurangu jatai: Tanani angelali pariwilpani milingera ngakani Ngaperi mudla pariwilpani najila wapaia.
no verse 11 in this text
11Ngangau Kanaia Ngatamura wokarana warai kulkala, mina tintaterina warai.
12What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go out to search for the one that is lost?
12Mina jura ngundrai? Kana kulnujeli 100 tjipi ngamalkanani ja kulno tanangundru tintaterinani, nulu wata 99 mardawonpani worarala nganai ja wapala nganai, nina manila, nau tintaterina warai?
13And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he rejoices more over that one sheep than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray.
13Ja jeruja ngananani, nulu nina mankamankana, morlalu ngani jurangu jatai: Nau nunkangu morla mankila nganai tanangu 99, tana wata tintaterina warai.
14In the same way, your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.
14Jeruja Ngaperi jurani pariwilpani wata jertapateriai, kulno tanangundru wakawaka tintaterinanto.
15If your brother sins against you, go and confront him privately. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over.
15Ngatatajeli jinkanali jinkangu madlentji ngankanani, wapau, ja kurukurubamai nina kulnujeli. Nulu jidna ngaranani, jundru ngatata jinkani kulkana warai.
16But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’
16Nulu jidna wata ngaranani, maningamai jinkangu kulno kara mandru kara, ngangau jaura pratjana morlalu kuranietja mana mandruni kara parkulani kara parananto.
17If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, regard him as you would a pagan or a tax collector.
17Nulu tanana bulu ngaranani, mili wolarani kaukaubamai; nulu mili wolara bulu ngaranani, nau jinkangu kana ko ja mardatandra kampanietja jeribaka nganaiatimai.
18Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
18Morlalu ngani jurangu jatai: Mina jura mitani dupudupu ngankala nganai, jenia bakana pariwilpani dupudupu nganala nganai; ja mina jura mitani dukarala nganai, jenia bakana pariwilpani walto nganala nganai.
19Again, I tell you truly that if two of you on the earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by My Father in heaven.
19Nakaldra ngani jurangu jatai: Mandru jurangundru kulnukulnuni ngananani poto kulnuni, ja nunkangundru ngatjinani, nina tanali manila nganai ngakani Ngaperandru pariwilpani.
20For where two or three gather together in My name, there am I with them.”
20Ngangau woderi mandru kara, parkulu kara, jela ngamai talani ngakanani, naka ngani tanangu terti nganai.“
21Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother who sins against me? Up to seven times?”
21Ngadani Petrus nunkangu wokarana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Kaparajai, worderuntja pota ngatatajeli ngakanali ngakangu madlentji ngankala nganai; ja worderuntja pota ngato madlentji nunkani worananto? Pota mara wora ja mandrumata?“
22Jesus answered, “I tell you, not just seven times, but seventy-seven times!
22Jesus nunkangu jatana wonti: „Ngani jinkangu jatai: Wata pota mara wora ja mandruta, a‐ai, 70 pota mara wora ja mandrumata. (Ngantjani‐jaura G. D. XXII. Trinitatis.)
23Because of this, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.
23Ngangau pariwilpaia milila mitaia kapara jeribaka nganai, nulu ngantjana wonti, milini nunkanani jelali windamala.
24As he began the settlements, a debtor was brought to him owing ten thousand talents.
24Ja nulu matja wonina windamala, tanali mili kulno nunkangu wapalkana wonti, nau nunkangu 10,000 mardatandra pirna wilpanto nganana wonti.
25Since the man was unable to pay, the master ordered that he be sold to pay his debt, along with his wife and children and everything he owned.
25Ngangau nulu panila ngamalkana wonti jinkila, kaparali nunkanali jirijiribana wonti, nina ja noa nunkani ja ngatamura nunkani ja warupoto, mina nulu ngamalkana jinkinanto, kalala manila.
26Then the servant fell on his knees before him. ‘Have patience with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’
26Naupini mili nunkangu woraterina wonti ja ngatjina wonti nunkangu ja jatana wonti: «Kaparajai, manju nganamai ngakangu, ngato jinkangu warupoto jinkila nganai.»
27His master had compassion on him, forgave his debt, and released him.
27Kaparali nunkangu milini kalumiltjamiltjarina wonti ja nina kurakana wonti, ja poto wilpa nulu worani patana wonti.
28But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii. He grabbed him and began to choke him, saying, ‘Pay back what you owe me!’
28Ja naupini mili dunkana wonti, ja mili nguruni dankamalina wonti, nau nunkangu 100 mardatandra waka wilpanto nganana wonti, ja nulu nina patana wonti ja jupana wonti ja jatana wonti: «Jinkiamai, mina jidni ngakangu wilpanto nganai.»
29So his fellow servant fell down and begged him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you back.’
29Ja mili nguru nunkangu tidnani woraterina wonti ja nunkangu ngatjina wonti ja jatana wonti: «Manju nganamai ngakangu, ngato jinkangu warupoto jinkila nganai.»
30But he refused. Instead, he went and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay his debt.
30Ja nulu wata ngantjana wonti, a‐ai, nau wapana wonti ja nina kanjangari pungani widmana wonti, nulu poto wilpa jinkinantulu.
31When his fellow servants saw what had happened, they were greatly distressed, and they went and recounted all of this to their master.
31Mili ngurujeli jenia matja najina, mina pantjina warai, tana ngaurongauro pirna pantjina wonti ja wokarana wonti, ja tanali kaparani tananani pratjana kaukaubana wonti.
32Then the master summoned him and declared, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave all your debt because you begged me.
32Ngadani kaparali nunkanali nina karkana wonti ja nunkangu jatana wonti: «Jidni mili madlentji; ninapini poto wilpa warupoto ngato jinkangu worani patana warai, ngangau jidni ngakangu ngatjina warai;
33Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had on you?’
33Wata jidni bakana kalumiltjamiltjarinanto mili nguruni, worderu ngani jinkangu kalumiltjamiltjarina warai?»
34In anger his master turned him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should repay all that he owed.
34Ja kapara nunkani tiririna wonti, ja nulu nina jupanietjani jinkina wonti, nulu nunkangu jinkinantulu, mina nau nunkangu poto wilpa nganana wonti.
35That is how My heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother from your heart.”
35Jeruja bakana Ngaperali ngakanali pariwilpani jurangu ngankala nganai, jura wata ngarali woranani ngatataja jaranaia madlentji.“
