Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which is from God. The authorities that exist have been appointed by God.
1Kana pratjana tanangu kaparani wodatarana ngamaiatianimai, tanali ngurula ngamalkai. Ngangau kapara pani nganai, tanali Godali wata kuranala; woderi kapara nganai, tanana Godali mapana kurana wonti.
2Consequently, whoever resists authority is opposing what God has set in place, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.
2Jendrangundruja, worana kaparani delkiai, nau Godaia talkulani delkiai, ja tanali delkinietjali muntali kalala manila nganai.
3For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Do you want to be unafraid of the one in authority? Then do what is right, and you will have his approval.
3Ngangau kaparali wata ngankana ngumuni japa jinkiai, a‐ai, madlentjani. Jundru ngantjai kaparandru wata japali nganala, jeruja ngumu ngankamai, ja jundru jurakokani nunkangundru manila nganai.
4For he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not carry the sword in vain. He is God’s servant, an agent of retribution to the wrongdoer.
4Ngangau Godaia mili naupini nganai jinkangu ngumuja. Jundru madlentji ngankanani, japali nganamai; ngangau nulu mardakirra wata bakujeli mandrai. Ngangau naupini Godaia mili nganai, tirieli kalala jinkila nunkangu, nulu madlentji ngankai.
5Therefore it is necessary to submit to authority, not only to avoid punishment, but also as a matter of conscience.
5Jendrangundruja jidni wodatarana ngamananto, wata windri tirilandru, a‐ai, bakana ngaraia ngaialandru.
6This is also why you pay taxes. For the authorities are God’s servants, who devote themselves to their work.
6Jendrangundruja jura bakana kalala jinkiai, ngangau tanapini kapara nganai Godandru, tanali jenipara mangini milingeru ngankai.
7Pay everyone what you owe him: taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is due, honor to whom honor is due.
7Jinkianau pratjanani, mina jura tanangu wilpanto nganai: Kalala nunkanipini, nunkangu kalala nganai; mardatandra nunkanipini, nunkangu mardatandra nganai; ja japa nunkanipini, nunkangu japa nganai; pirnala nunkanipini, nunkangu pirnala nganai. (Dakani jaura G. D. 4 Epiphanias.)
8Be indebted to no one, except to one another in love. For he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
8Wata jutjunto ngamanau kana kulnuni, windri jura ngantjamalinanto; ngangau warle kana nguru ngantjanani, jirijiribani jaurani pankinani.
9The commandments “Do not commit adultery,” “Do not murder,” “Do not steal,” “Do not covet,” and any other commandments, are summed up in this one decree: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
9Ngangau tanapini jaura pratjana: „Wata pinta wokaribamai, wata naria nandramai, wata kurieli maniamai, wata jedi jaura morlalu kuramai, wata milkirina najianimai,“ ja mina jirijiribani jaura morla nganai, nunkangupini jaurani parai: „Ngurala jinkani ngantjamai, jidna munta jeribaka.“
10Love does no wrong to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
10Ngantjanali nguralani wata madlentji ngankai. Jeruja jirijiribani jauraia manamirila ngantjana nganai. (Dakani jaura G. D. 1 Advent.)
11And do this, understanding the occasion. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.
11Ja ngangau ngaiani jenia miljaru ngujamai, ditji matja wokarana warai mukandru jiritjinanto; ngangau karari kulkani ngaianini morla karakararina warai warulani, ngaiani woninala morlalu ngundrala.
12The night is nearly over; the day has drawn near. So let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.
12Tinka ngampu mudana warai, ja ditji karakararina; jeruja ngaiani ngalpuruja ngankana dukaraterinanto, ja praitjaia ngankana widmaterinanto.
13Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy.
13Ngaiani ngumu wirarinanto worderu ditjini; wata mirantjatieli tajina ja parawarani tapana, wata palakantji ja murumuru ngamana, wata jatamalina ja kalakalarilkijiribamalina,
14Instead, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the desires of the flesh.
14A‐ai, Jesus Christus widmaterianau, ja wata palkuja manju ngamalkaterina milkirinaia ngankanau.
