Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples:
1Ngadani Jesujeli kana wolarani ja milini nunkanani kaukaubana wonti,
2“The scribes and Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat.
2Ja jatana wonti: „Mosini ngamani pirini jaura jinkinietja ja Pharisaia wora ngamai.
3So practice and observe everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach.
3Pratjana, mina tana jurangu jatai, jura ngamalkananto, jenia ngamalkanimai, ja ngankanimai; tanani ngankanani jeribaka wata ngankanimai, ngangau tana jatai, ja wata ngankai.
4They tie up heavy, burdensome loads and lay them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
4Tanali bururu mati ja morla wondra workaworkamandrai ja kanani pilpirani kurai; windri tanali muntali wata ngantjai tanana mara ngalkieli patala.
5All their deeds are done for men to see. They broaden their phylacteries and lengthen their tassels.
5Tanani ngankana pratjana tanali ngankai, kanali tanana najinanto; tanali tjerapu maru ngankai ja katijelbi wirdi ngankai;
6They love the places of honor at banquets, the chief seats in the synagogues,
6Tanali ngantjai piri ngopera buka pirnani ja piri ngopera jaura pungani;
7the greetings in the marketplaces, and the title of ‘Rabbi’ by which they are addressed.
7Ja jaura murlali jinkimalini pirini, ja kanali tanana «Rabbi» dikananto.
8But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers.
8Tanali jurana wata «Rabbi» dikananto, ngangau Kulno jurani ngujangujara jinkinietja nganai, ja jura pratjana ngatata mara nganai.
9And do not call anyone on earth your father, for you have one Father, who is in heaven.
9Ja wata kulno jurangundru ngaperi dikanimai mitani, ngangau Kulno Ngapari jurani nganai, Nauja pariwilpani.
10Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Christ.
10Tanali jurana wata ngujangujara jinkinietja dikananto, ngangau Kulno ngujangujara jinkinietja jurani nganai, Christus.
11The greatest among you shall be your servant.
11Worana jurangundru morla pirna nganai, nauja jurani mili nganaiatimai.
12For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
12Warle pirna ngankateriai, nau waka pantjila nganai, ja warle waka ngankateriai, nau pirna pantjila nganai.
13Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men’s faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let in those who wish to enter.
13Jakajai jurangu, jura jaura jinkinietja ja Pharisaia, jura kana jeljujelju! ngangau jura pariwilpaia milila ngandrawalkai kanani; ngangau jura munta wata wiriai, ja tana wirinani, jura ngandrawalkai wirinanto.
no verse 14 in this text
14Jakajai jurangu, jura jaura jinkinietja ja Pharisaia, jura kana jeljujelju! ngangau jura mangawaruja punga tajiai ja ngatjina wirdieli wondralkai; jendrangundruja jura kalala morla pirna manila nganai.
15Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You traverse land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are.
15Jakajai jurangu jura jaura jinkinietja ja Pharisaia, jura kana jeljujelju! jura panto pirnani ja mita mujani wirariai Juda kanaia kamaneli kulno ngankala, ja nau matja pantjina, jura nina turuja kupa ngankai pota mandru morla pirna jurangu.
16Woe to you, blind guides! You say, ‘If anyone swears by the temple, it means nothing; but if anyone swears by the gold of the temple, he is bound by his oath.’
16Jakajai jurangu, jura paltowondranietja butju! jura jatai: Warle Godaia pungani jaura morlalu kurai, jenia panila nganai; ja warle Godaia pungaia marda maraljani jaura morlalu kurai, nau bakuwilpa nganai.
17You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes it sacred?
17Jura kana patipati ja butju! mina morla pirna nganai, marda maralje kara, Godaia punga kara, nulu nina marda maralje kulikiri ngankai?
18And you say, ‘If anyone swears by the altar, it means nothing; but if anyone swears by the gift on it, he is bound by his oath.’
18Ja: Warle jaura morlalu kurai Altarani, jenia panila nganai; warle jaura morlalu kurai potuni, nau nunkangu parai, nau bakuwilpa nganai.
19You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes it sacred?
19Jura kana patipati ja butju! mina morla pirna nganai, poto kara, Altara kara, nulu poto kulikiri ngankai?
20So then, he who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it.
20Warle Altarani jaura morlalu kurai, nulu jaura morlalu kurai nunkangu ja pratjana nunkangu paranani;
21And he who swears by the temple swears by it and by the One who dwells in it.
21Ja warle jaura morlalu kurai Godaia pungani, nulu jaura morlalu kurai nunkangupini ja nunkangu, Nauja mandrani ngamai;
22And he who swears by heaven swears by God’s throne and by the One who sits on it.
22Ja warle jaura morlalu kurai pariwilpani, nulu jaura morlalu kurai Godaia ngamani pirini, ja nunkangu, Nauja nunkangu ngamai.
23Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You pay tithes of mint, dill, and cumin. But you have disregarded the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former.
23Jakajai jurangu, jura jaura jinkinietja ja Pharisaia, jura kana jeljujelju! ngangau jura manjura ja kalumba ja paua puntibai ja buru kulno marapratjanandru Godani jinkiai, ja jirijiribani jaura mati: Kalala ja kalumiltjamiltjarina ja morlalu ngundrana jura worarai. Tananapini jura ngankananto ja jenia wata worarananto.
24You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.
24Paltowondranietja butju! jura wajluru ngandrawalkai ja Camuli julkai.
25Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence.
25Jakajai jurangu, jura jaura jinkinietja ja Pharisaia, jura kana jeljujelju! jura koko ja pirra tokuni kulikiri ngankai, ja mandrani puturu ja ngurdi nganai.
26Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, so that the outside may become clean as well.
26Pharisaia butjujai! ngopera koko ja pirra mandrani kulikiri ngankamai, jeruja bakana toku kulikiririnanto.
27Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside, but on the inside are full of dead men’s bones and every kind of impurity.
27Jakajai jurangu, jura jaura jinkinietja ja Pharisaia, jura kana jeljujelju! ngangau jura wiribani nariwonpa jeribaka nganai, tanana palarani ngumu najiai ja mandrani narimoku ja murumuru manamiri nganai.
28In the same way, on the outside you appear to be righteous, but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.
28Jeruja bakana jura, palarani jura talku wondrateriai kanani, ja mandrani jura jeljujelju ja madlentji manamiri nganai.
29Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the monuments of the righteous.
29Jakajai jurangu, jura jaura jinkinietja ja Pharisaia, jura kana jeljujelju! ngangau jura Prophetaia nariwonpa ngankijiribai ja kana talkuja nariwonpa tjirkatjirkai,
30And you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partners with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’
30Ja jura jatai: Matja ngaiana ngaperaia ngaiananaia ditjini ngamanani, ngaiana wata tanani kamaneli Prophetaia kumarani ngananani;
31So you testify against yourselves that you are the sons of those who murdered the prophets.
31Jeruja jura muntali morlalu kurai, jura Propheta nari nandranietjaia ngatamura nganai.
32Fill up, then, the measure of the sin of your fathers.
32Ja jura ngaperaia juranaia koko manamiri ngankanau!
33You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape the sentence of hell?
33Jura tjutju ja wiparaia kuparu worajai! worderu jura turuja kalalandru puntila nganai? (Ngantjani‐jaura Jesuja kupa dankani ditjini mandrulani ja Stephanani ditjini.)
34Because of this, I am sending you prophets and wise men and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify, and others you will flog in your synagogues and persecute in town after town.
34Mai, jendrania ngato jurangu Propheta worana ja kana kiri ja jaura jinkinietja worana jinpai; tanangundru jura palpa naria nandrala nganai ja palpa kunarkuni katibala nganai, ja tanangundru palpa jura jaura pungani juranani nandrala nganai ja ngura kulnundru ngura kulnuja tanangu tirikaripaterila nganai.
35And so upon you will come all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.
35Ngangau jurangu wokarananto kumari talku pratjana, jenia mitani nangana, Abel talkuja kumarandru Zachariani, Barachiani ngatamuraia kumaranilu, nina jura Godaia pungani ja Altarani terti naria nandrana wonti.
36Truly I tell you, all these things will come upon this generation.
36Morlalu ngani jurangu jatai: Jenia pratjana nunkangupini ngujani wokarala nganai.
37O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those sent to her, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were unwilling!
37Jerusalemiai, Jerusalemiai, jundru Propheta worana nandrai ja mardali dakai tanana jinkangu jinpanala; worderuntja pota ngato kupa jinkani jertapaterina wonti mapala, worderu warugati ngandrieli nankani wolka nankani ngaruni mapai, ja jura wata ngantjana wonti.
38Look, your house is left to you desolate.
38Mai, punga jurani ngurawalpa parala nganai.
39For I tell you that you will not see Me again until you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.’”
39Ngangau ngani jurangu jatai: Kararindru jura ngana wata morla najila nganai, jura jatanantulu: Ngaiani jurakokai ninaia, Nauja wokarai Kaparaia talani!“
