Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
World English Bible
1Muramuraia poto ngumundru ngaiani milkila, ngaiani pratjanali ngujamani ngamalkai. Ngujamanali wombatjarai, ja ngantjanali wotiai.
1Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
2Kulnujeli ngundraterinani nau milkila ngananani, jeruja nulu panila ngujamana warai worderu nina ngujamananto.
2But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he doesn’t yet know as he ought to know.
3Kulnujeli Goda ngantjanani, nina Nulia ngujamala wapaia.
3But anyone who loves God is known by him.
4Muramura poto ngumuja tajinandru ngaiani milkila, muramura pani mitani nganai, ja wata Goda pilki nganai, windri Kulno.
4Therefore concerning the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that no idol is anything in the world, and that there is no other God but one.
5Ja tanali kantji muramura worana dikanani, pariwilpani kara mitani kara, worderu Goda muramura marapu ja Kapara marapu nganai;
5For though there are things that are called “gods”, whether in the heavens or on earth—as there are many “gods” and many “lords”—
6Ngaianingu windri Goda kulno nganai, Ngaperi, nunkangundru warupoto nganai, ja ngaiani nunkangu; ja windri Kapara kulno, Jesus Christus, nunkangundru warupoto nganai, ja ngaiani nunkangundru.
6yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we live through him.
7Wata pratjanali ngujamani ngamalkai. Palpa ngara ngaialandru japali, tanali nina muramuraia poto ngumu jeribaka tajiai, ja ngangau tanani ngara ngaiala waltowalto nganai, jeruja nau murumuru pantjiai.
7However, that knowledge isn’t in all men. But some, with consciousness of an idol until now, eat as of a thing sacrificed to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
8Tajinali ngaianina Godani wata talku ngankai; ngangau ngaiani tajinani, ngaiani wata morla talku nganala nganai; ja ngaiani wata tajinani, ngaiani wata morla waka nganala nganai.
8But food will not commend us to God. For neither, if we don’t eat are we the worse, nor if we eat are we the better.
9Ngamalkaterianau, jurani ngurula waltowaltuni dakaterina pantjiati.
9But be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak.
10Kulnujeli jidna, jundru ngujamana ngamalkanani, najinani muramuraia pungani kurlini ngamanani; nau wata nunkani ngara ngaiala waltowalto ngurunguru ngankaterila nganai muramuraia poto ngumu tajila?
10For if a man sees you who have knowledge sitting in an idol’s temple, won’t his conscience, if he is weak, be emboldened to eat things sacrificed to idols?
11Ja jinkani ngujamanandru ngatata waltowalto tintaterila nganai, nunkangundru Christus palina wonti?
11And through your knowledge, he who is weak perishes, the brother for whose sake Christ died.
12Jeruja jura ngatata worangu madlentji ngankanani, ja tanani ngara ngaiala waltowalto nandranani, jura Christungu madlentji ngankai.
12Thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.
13Jendrangundruja, ngangau tajinali ngatatani ngakanani dakaterina jinkinani, jeruja ngato morlalu wata nganti tajila nganai ngurali, ngangau ngato wata ngatatani ngakanani dakaterina kurananto.
13Therefore, if food causes my brother to stumble, I will eat no meat forever more, that I don’t cause my brother to stumble.
