Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1I speak the truth in Christ; I am not lying, as confirmed by my conscience in the Holy Spirit.
1Jaura morlalu ngani jatai Christungu, ja wata jediai, ja ngakani ngara ngaialali ngakangu jela tinkari ngankai Jaola kulikirieli:
2I have deep sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart.
2Ngato ngaurongauro pirna ngamalkai ja milingeru ketjaketjai ngarali ngakanali.
3For I could wish that I myself were cursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers, my own flesh and blood,
3Ngangau ngato ngantjana warai, Christulu ngana muntali worarananto ngatatani ngakanani, tana kamaneli ngakani nganai palkujeli.
4the people of Israel. Theirs is the adoption as sons; theirs the divine glory and the covenants; theirs the giving of the law, the temple worship, and the promises.
4Tana Israelitala nganai, tanangu kupa nganala parai, ja pirnala, ja Testamenta, ja jirijiribani jaura, ja ngamalkijiribana, ja talpadakani jaura,
5Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them proceeds the human descent of Christ, who is God over all, forever worthy of praise! Amen.
5Tanangu ngaperi worani parai, ja tanangundru Christus wokarai palkujeli, Nauja warupotuja Goda nganai, nunkangu jurakokana nganaiatimai ngurali. Amen.
6It is not as though God’s word has failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.
6Wata jeruja karari parai, Godaia jaura mudana warai. Ngangau wata pratjana, tana Israel ngujandru nganai, kantji Israelitala nganai.
7Nor because they are Abraham’s descendants are they all his children. On the contrary, “Through Isaac your offspring will be reckoned.”
7Bakana wata jeruja, ngangau tana Abrahamani ngatamura nganai, tana pratjana kupa nganai, a‐ai, „Isaakangu jinkangu ngatamura nganala nganai.“
8So it is not the children of the flesh who are God’s children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as offspring.
8Jenia wondrai, wata palkuja kupa, wata tana Godaia kupa nganai, a‐ai, windri talpadakani jauraia kupa ngatamura nganala nganai.
9For this is what the promise stated: “At the appointed time I will return, and Sarah will have a son.”
9Ngangau talpadakani jaura naupini nganai: „Nunkangupini miljarani ngato tikala nganai, ja Sarahndru ngatani ngamalkala nganai.“
10Not only that, but Rebecca’s children were conceived by one man, our father Isaac.
10Wata windri nandru, a‐ai, bakana Rebekkangu, nani kulnundru mandrantju nganana wonti, Isaak ngaianini ngaperandru.
11Yet before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad, in order that God’s plan of election might stand,
11Pudlana wata dankana wonti, ja wata ngumu kara madlentji kara ngankana wonti — ngangau Godaia jertapaterina kalkanani parananto: Wata ngankanandru, a‐ai, karkanietjandru —
12not by works but by Him who calls, she was told, “The older will serve the younger.”
12Nauja nankangu jatana wonti: „Neji ngatatani wodatarana ngamala nganai.“
13So it is written: “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
13Worderu dakanala parai: „Ngato Jakob ngantjana wonti, ja Esaungu kalakalarina wonti.“
14What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Certainly not!
14Mina ngaiani jatananto? Talkula pani Godangu nganai? A‐ai.
15For He says to Moses: “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”
15Ngangau Nauja Mosingu jatai: „Ngani manju nganala nganai, nunkangu ngani manju nganai; ja ngato kalumiltjamiltjarila nganai, nunkangu ngani kalumiltjamiltjariai.“
16So then, it does not depend on man’s desire or effort, but on God’s mercy.
16Jeruja jenia wata kulnuja jertapaterinani, bakana wata kulnuja mindrinani parai, a‐ai, Godaia kalumiltjamiltjarinani.
17For the Scripture says to Pharaoh: “I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display My power in you, and that My name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”
17Ngangau Godaia jaura Pharaongu jatai: „Jendrania ngato jidna jiritjibana wonti, ngato jinkangundru ngurula ngakani wondraterinanto, ja tanali tala ngakani mita maruni kaukaubananto.“
18Therefore God has mercy on whom He wants to have mercy, and He hardens whom He wants to harden.
18Jeruja Nauja manju nganai nunkangu, nina Nulia ngantjai; ja ngurunguru ngankai nunkangu, nina Nulia ngantjiai.
19One of you will say to me, “Then why does God still find fault? For who can resist His will?”
19Jidni ngakangu jatala nganai kara: „Minandru Nulia morla dilpai? Warlenulu nunkani jertapaterina ngandrawalkananto?“
20But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? Shall what is formed say to Him who formed it, “Why did You make me like this?”
20Kanajai! Worana jidni nganai, jundru Godani tjakakani jaura jinkinanto? Malka malkangankinganietjani jatala nganai: „Minandru jundru ngana jeruka ngankana warai?“
21Does not the potter have the right to make from the same lump of clay one vessel for special occasions and another for common use?
21Bulurungankanietjali wata ngurula ngamalkai bulurani, ngunku kulnundru koko kulno ngankala pirnalaia ja koko kulno wakalaia?
22What if God, intending to show His wrath and make His power known, bore with great patience the vessels of His wrath, prepared for destruction?
22Worderu, Goda jertapaterinani nunkani tirieli ja nunkani ngurulali wondraterila, manju pirnali tiria koko mandranani, matja ngankingana kalalaia,
23What if He did this to make the riches of His glory known to the vessels of His mercy, whom He prepared in advance for glory—
23Nunkanaia pirnalaia poto pirna kalumiltjarinaia kokuni wondraterila, tanana Nulia ngopera ngankingana wonti pirnalaia?
24including us, whom He has called not only from the Jews, but also from the Gentiles?
24Jeruja Nulia bakana ngaianina karkana wonti, wata windri Juda kanandru, a‐ai, bakana kana kondru,
25As He says in Hosea: “I will call them ‘My People’ who are not My people, and I will call her ‘My Beloved’ who is not My beloved,”
25Worderu Nauja bakana Hosea jaurali jatai: „Ngato tanana, tana wata kana wolara ngakani nganai, ngakani «kana wolara» dikala nganai, ja tanana, tana wata ngantjalu «ngantjalu».
26and, “It will happen that in the very place where it was said to them, ‘You are not My people,’ they will be called ‘sons of the living God.’”
26Ja pantjila nganai, worderu nunkangupini pirini tanangu matja jatana: Wata ngakani kana wolora jura nganai, jerra tanali tepi Godaia ngatamura tala ngamalkai.“
27Isaiah cries out concerning Israel: “Though the number of the Israelites is like the sand of the sea, only the remnant will be saved.
27Jesaia Israelandru karkai: „Israel ngatamura wolara panto pirnaia dirkalaia mita jeribaka ngananani, windri pinpila tepi pantjila nganai.“
28For the Lord will carry out His sentence on the earth thoroughly and decisively.”
28„Ngangau kalala ja daudauana pantjila nganai talkulaia, ja Kaparali ninapini daudauani ngankala nganai.“
29It is just as Isaiah foretold: “Unless the Lord of Hosts had left us descendants, we would have become like Sodom, we would have resembled Gomorrah.”
29Ja worderu Jesaiali morla ngopera jatana wonti: „Kaparajeli Zebaoth ngaianingu wata nguja woraranani, ngaiani Sodom ja Gomorra jeribaka pantjinani.“
30What then will we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith;
30Mina ngaiani jatananto? Kana kojeli, tana talkulani wata karipaterinala, talkula patanala, jenipara talkula morlalu ngundranandru.
31but Israel, who pursued a law of righteousness, has not attained it.
31Israel talkulaia jirijiribani jaurani karipaterinala, ja wata talkulaia jirijiribani jaurani wokaranala.
32Why not? Because their pursuit was not by faith, but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone,
32Minandru? Ngangau tanali nina wata morlalu ngundranandru, a‐ai, jirijiribani jauraia ngankanandru wontina wonti; ngangau tana dakaterini mardani dakaterina wonti.
33as it is written: “See, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense; and the one who believes in Him will never be put to shame.”
33Worderu dakanala parai: „Mai, ngato Zionangu dakaterini marda ja kintjakintjarinaia taldra kurai, ja warle nunkangu morlalu ngundrai wata nintali pantjila nganai.“
