Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1Do you not know, brothers (for I am speaking to those who know the law), that the law has authority over a man only as long as he lives?
1Jura ko nganai, ngatata worajai, — ngangau ngato jeniparani kaukaubai, tanali jirijiribani jaura ngujamai — jirijiribani jaurali kanani ngurula ngamalkai, jeruntjaia ditji nau tepiriai?
2For instance, a married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage.
2Ngangau widla, materani matja noa jinkina, jirijiribani jaurali materani matja workamandrana, nau tepi ngananani; materi matja palinani, nandru materaia jirijiribani jaurandru matja kurakana.
3So then, if she is joined to another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from that law and is not an adulteress, even if she marries another man.
3Jeruja tanali nana, materi tepi ngamanani, pinta wokaribanietja dikala nganai, nandru materi nguru patanani; materi matja palinani, nandru jirijiribani jaurandru matja kurakana, nani wata pinta wokaribanietja nganananto, nandru materi nguru patanani.
4Therefore, my brothers, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit to God.
4Jeruja, ngatata worajai! bakana jura jirijiribani jaurani nari nganai Christuni palkundru, ngangau jura kulno nguruni pantjinanto, nunkangu, ninaia Nulia narindru jiritjibana wonti, ngangau ngaiani Godangu tandra mandrananto.
5For when we lived according to the flesh, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in our bodies, bearing fruit for death.
5Ngangau jendranguta ngaiani kana tunka matja nganana, madlentjaia jertapaterinali ngaianingu buruni ngankana wonti, jirijiribani jaurandru naringu tandra mandrala.
6But now, having died to what bound us, we have been released from the law, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.
6Karari jirijiribani jaurali ngaianina worani patana warai, ngangau ngaiani nunkangu palina warai, nulia ngaianina ngamalkijiribana warai, jeruja ngaiani Jaola marrani mili ngamai, ja wata morla dakani malka waruni.
7What then shall we say? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed, I would not have been mindful of sin if not for the law. For I would not have been aware of coveting if the law had not said, “Do not covet.”
7Mina ngaiani karari jatananto? Jirijiribani jaura madlentji nganai? A‐ai, madlentji ngato wata ngujamana warai, windri jirijiribani jaurali; ngangau ngato milkirinandru ko nganai, jirijiribani jaura wata jatanani: „Jidni wata milkiriamai.“
8But sin, seizing its opportunity through the commandment, produced in me every kind of covetous desire. For apart from the law, sin is dead.
8Madlentjali jirijiribani jaurandru ngana patana warai, ja ngakangu milkirina pratjana ngankana warai; ngangau jirijiribani jaura panini madlentji nari nganai.
9Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died.
9Ngani waru tepi ngamana wonti jirijiribani jaura panini; jirijiribani jaura matja wokarana, madlentji tepirina wonti,
10So I discovered that the very commandment that was meant to bring life actually brought death.
10Ja ngani palina wonti; ja ngato mankamankana wonti, naupini jirijiribani jaura, nauja tepia nganananto, ngakangu pantjina wonti naria.
11For sin, seizing its opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through the commandment put me to death.
11Ngangau madlentjali ngana matja patana, ngana jedibana wonti jirijiribani jaurali, ja nunkanali ngana nari ngankana wonti.
12So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous, and good.
12Ja jeruja jirijiribani jaura ja jirijiribani jauraia buru kulikiri ja talku ja ngumu nganai.
13Did that which is good, then, become death to me? Certainly not! But in order that sin might be exposed as sin, it produced death in me through what was good, so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.
13Naupini ngumula ngakangu naria pantjina wonti? A‐ai, windri madlentji; ngangau nauja madlentji wondraterinanto madlentji, jendrangundruja, ngangau nauja ngumula ngakangu nari ngankai; ngangau madlentji morla manamiri madlentji pantjinanto jirijiribani jaurali.
14We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin.
14Ngangau ngaiani milkila, jirijiribani jaura Jaolandru nganai; ngani tunka nganai, madlentjani matja burungankana.
15I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do, I do not do. But what I hate, I do.
15Ngangau mina ngato ngankai, jenia ngato wata ngujamai; ngangau wata jenia mina, ngani jertapateriai, ngato ngankai, a‐ai, minani ngani kalakalariai, jenia ngato ngankai.
16And if I do what I do not want to do, I admit that the law is good.
16Ngato jenia ngankanani, mina ngato wata jertapateriai, jeruja ngato morlalu kurai jirijiribani jaurani, nauja ngumu nganai.
17In that case, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
17Jeruja wata morla ngato jenia ngankai, a‐ai, madlentjali, nauja ngakangu nganai.
18I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh; for I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.
18Ngangau ngani milkila, wata ngumula ngamai ngakangu, jenia wondrai ngakani palkuni; ngangau jertapaterini ngakangu matja parai, windri ngumulaia ngankana ngato wata mankamankai.
19For I do not do the good I want to do. Instead, I keep on doing the evil I do not want to do.
19Ngangau ngumula, mina ngani jertapateriai, ninaia ngato wata ngankai; a‐ai, madlentji, ninaia ngato wata ngantjai, ninaia ngato ngankai.
20And if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
20Ngato jenia ngankanani, mina ngani wata jertapateriai, jeruja wata morla ngato jenia ngankai, a‐ai, madlentjali, nauja ngakangu parai.
21So this is the principle I have discovered: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me.
21Jeruja ngato jirijiribani jaura mankamankai ngakangu, ngato ngantjanani ngumu ngankala, madlentji ngakangu karakara parai.
22For in my inner being I delight in God’s law.
22Ngangau ngani Godaia jirijiribani jaurani mankiai kana marali;
23But I see another law at work in my body, warring against the law of my mind and holding me captive to the law of sin that dwells within me.
23Windri ngato jirijiribani jaura pilki ngakangu palku buruni najiai, nauja ngakani manuni jirijiribani jaurani tiririai, ja ngana dupudupu ngankai madlentjaia jirijiribani jauraia, naupini ngakangu palku buruni nganai.
24What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?
24Kana waltowalto ngani! Warle ngana kulkala nganai nunkangupini naria palkundru?
25Thanks be to God, through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with my mind I serve the law of God, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.
25Ngato Goda jurakokala wapaia Jesungu Christungundru ngaianani Kaparandru. Jeruja ngani munta manujeli Godaia jirijiribani jauraia mili nganai, windri palkujeli madlentjaia jirijiribani jauraia.
