Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1“To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: These are the words of Him who holds the seven stars in His right hand and walks among the seven golden lampstands.
1Mili wolaraia angelani Ephesusungu dakamai: „Jenia Naupini jatai, Nulia ditji waka mara wora ja mandru ngunarani nunkanani ngamalkai, Nauja wirariai praitjaia poto marda maraljendru mara wora ja mandruni terti:
2I know your deeds, your labor, and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate those who are evil, and you have tested and exposed as liars those who falsely claim to be apostles.
2Ngani milkila ngankana ngumu jinkani, ja ngankana jinkani, ja manjula jinkani, ja jidni ngandandariai mandrala kana madlentji, ja tanana wontjana warai, tana Apostel dikateriai, ja jenia wata nganai, ja jundru tanana jedikantji mankamankana warai,
3Without growing weary, you have persevered and endured many things for the sake of My name.
3Ja jundru manjula ngamalkai ja mandrana warai ngakani talandru, ja jidni wata walturina warai.
4But I have this against you: You have abandoned your first love.
4Windri ngato jenia jinkangu ngamalkai, jundru ngopera ngantjani worani patana warai.
5Therefore, keep in mind how far you have fallen. Repent and perform the deeds you did at first. But if you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place.
5Ngundrau, worangundru jidni purina warai, ja madlentjandru karitjiau, ja ngankana ngopera ngankau! Pani kara, ngani jinkangu wokarala nganai wolja, ja ngato jinkani praitjaia poto nunkani pirindru taribala nganai, jidni wata madlentjandru karitjinani.
6But you have this to your credit: You hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
6Ja jenia jundru ngamalkai, jidni Nikolaitalani ngankanani kalakalariai, tanangu bakana ngani kalakalariai.
7He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who overcomes, I will grant the right to eat from the tree of life in the Paradise of God.
7Warle talpa kulno ngamalkai, nulu ngaraiatimai, mina Jaola mili wolarani jatai: «Kalalu ngankanietjani ngato jinkila nganai tepia pitandru tajinanto, nau Godaia Paradiesini terti nganai.»
8To the angel of the church in Smyrna write: These are the words of the First and the Last, who died and returned to life.
8Ja mili wolaraia angelani Smyrnangu dakamai: «Jenia jatai Ngoperala ja Mudani, Nauja nari nganana wonti ja tepi pantjina wonti:
9I know your affliction and your poverty—though you are rich! And I am aware of the slander of those who falsely claim to be Jews, but are in fact a synagogue of Satan.
9Ngani milkila ngankana jinkani, ja ketjaketjana jinkani, ja wangiwangila jinkani, — ja poto pirna jidni nganai — ja ngirkibanila tanangundru, tana jatai, tana Juda kana nganai, ja jenia wata nganai, a‐ai, Satanani jaura punga.
10Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Look, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison to test you, and you will suffer tribulation for ten days. Be faithful even unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.
10Wata kulnundru japali nganau, mina jidni ketjaketjananto. Mai, kutjieli palpa jurangundru kanjangari pungani widmala nganai, jurana wontjananto, ja jura ketjaketjana ngamalkala nganai ditji marapratjana. Wonkitalku nganau narielu, jeruja ngato jinkangu tepia pirapira jinkila nganai!
11He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who overcomes will not be harmed by the second death.
11Warle talpa kulno ngamalkai, nulu ngaraiatimai, mina Jaola mili wolarani jatai: Kalalu ngankanietjani wata ketjaketjani pantjinanto nari mandrulandru.»
12To the angel of the church in Pergamum write: These are the words of the One who holds the sharp, double-edged sword.
12Ja mili wolaraia angelani Pergamumungu dakamai: «Jenia Naupini jatai, Nulia mardakirra tiri tjerkara mandrunto ngamalkai.
13I know where you live, where the throne of Satan sits. Yet you have held fast to My name and have not denied your faith in Me, even in the day when My faithful witness Antipas was killed among you, where Satan dwells.
13Ngani milkila ngankana jinkani, ja woderi jidni ngamai; woderi Satanani ngamani piri nganai, ja jundru tala ngakani wonki ngamalkai, ja morlalu ngundrana ngakani wata kutikutibana warai, tanangupini ditjini, tanangu tanali Antipas, tinkari ngankanietja talku ngakani nandrana wonti, woderi Satan ngamai.
14But I have a few things against you, because some of you hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to place a stumbling block before the Israelites so they would eat food sacrificed to idols and commit sexual immorality.
14Windri ngato jinkangu palpa ngamalkai, jundru jerra palpa ngamalkai, tanali Bileamani ngujangujara patai, nulu Balakangu ngujangujara jinkina wonti, Israel ngatamurani kintjakintjarini kurananto, muramuraia poto ngumu tajila ja palakantji ngamala.
15In the same way, some of you also hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
15Jeruja jundru bakana jenipara ngamalkai, tanali Nikolaitalani ngujangujara patai, ninaia ngani kalakalariai.
16Therefore repent! Otherwise I will come to you shortly and wage war against them with the sword of My mouth.
16Madlentjandru karitjiau; pani kara, jeruja ngani jinkangu wolja wokarala nganai, ja tanangu tirimalila nganai manaia mardakirrali ngakanali.
17He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who overcomes, I will give the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone inscribed with a new name, known only to the one who receives it.
17Warle talpa kulno ngamalkai, nulu ngaraiatimai, mina Jaola mili wolarani jatai: Kalalu ngankanietjani ngato Manna kurukurundru jinkila nganai, ja ngato nunkangu marda bulu jinkila nganai, ja nunkangupini marda buluni tala marra matja dakana, nina wata kulnujeli ngujamai, windri nulu, warle nina maniai.»
18To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like a blazing fire and whose feet are like polished bronze.
18Ja mili wolaraia angelani Thyatirangu dakamai: «Jenia Godaia Ngatamura jatai, Nulia milki ngamalkai turujaola kulno jeribaka, ja tidna nunkani mintjini marda jeribaka.
19I know your deeds—your love, your faith, your service, your perseverance—and your latter deeds are greater than your first.
19Ngani milkila ngankana jinkani, ja ngantjana jinkani, ja morlalu ngundrana jinkani, ja ngamalkijiribani jinkani, ja manjula jinkani, ja mudani ngankana jinkani morla nganai ngoperalani.
20But I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. By her teaching she misleads My servants to be sexually immoral and to eat food sacrificed to idols.
20Windri ngato jenia jinkangu ngamalkai, jundru manuni kurai Jesabel widlani, nani dikateriai Propheta kulno nganala, ja milini ngakanani ngujangujara jinkiai, ja tanana karkarkai palakantji ngamananto, ja muramuraia poto ngumu tajinanto.
21Even though I have given her time to repent of her immorality, she is unwilling.
21Ja ngato nankangu miljaru jinkina warai, nani madlentjandru karitjinanto, ja nani wata madlentjandru karitjiai nankani palakantjindru.
22Behold, I will cast her onto a bed of sickness, and those who commit adultery with her will suffer great tribulation unless they repent of her deeds.
22Mai, ngato nana turarani pirini worala nganai, ja tanana, tana nankangunto palakantji ngamai, ketjaketjana pirnani, tana wata tanani ngankanandru karitjinani.
23Then I will strike her children dead, and all the churches will know that I am the One who searches minds and hearts, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds.
23Ja kupa nankani ngato naria nandrala nganai. Ja mili wolara pratjanali ngujamala nganai, ngani Nauja nganai, Nulia kalu ja ngara wontjai, ja ngato jurangu jinkila nganai pilki ja pilki jurani ngankanandru.
24But I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned the so-called deep things of Satan: I will place no further burden upon you.
24Jurangu, tana Thyatirangu pinpani ngamai, jeruntjajeli ninapini ngujangujara wata ngamalkai, pratjanani, tanali Satanani mikiri wata ngujamana warai, worderu tana jatai: Ngato jurangu wata juditji pilki kurala nganai.
25Nevertheless, hold fast to what you have until I come.
25Windri jenia, mina jura ngamalkai, parparali patau, ngani wokaranantulu.
26And to the one who overcomes and continues in My work until the end, I will give authority over the nations.
26Ja warle kalalu ngankai, ja ngankani ngakani ngamalkai mudanajelu, nunkangu ngato ngurula jinkila nganai kana koni.
27He will rule them with an iron scepter and shatter them like pottery —just as I have received authority from My Father.
27Ja nulu tanana ngamalkala nganai marda pitali, ja buluru koko jeribaka tana wokarila nganai, worderu ngato ngakani Ngaperandru maninala.
28And I will give him the morning star.
28Ja ngato nunkangu ngamaturukuru jinkila nganai.»
29He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
29Warle talpa kulno ngamalkai, nulu ngaraiatimai, mina Jaola mili wolarani jatai.“
