Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
Berean Standard Bible
1Ngani wata Apostel nganai? Ngani wata kurakanila nganai? Ngani wata Jesus Kapara ngaianani najina wonti? Jura wata ngankani ngakani nganai Kaparani?
1Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you yourselves not my workmanship in the Lord?
2Ngani wata kana pilkia Apostel ngananani, ngani jenipara morlalu jurangu nganai, ngangau ngakani Apostel ngamalkijiribani malka morlalu jura nganai Kaparani;
2Even if I am not an apostle to others, surely I am to you. For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.
3Jurajuralkaterini ngakani tanangu, tanali ngana wontjai, naupini nganai.
3This is my defense to those who scrutinize me:
4Ngaiani wata ngurula ngamalkai tajila ja tapala?
4Have we no right to food and to drink?
5Ngaiani wata ngurula ngamalkai kaku noa wiralkala, Apostel worali ja Kaparaia ngatatajeli ja Kephajeli jeribaka?
5Have we no right to take along a believing wife, as do the other apostles and the Lord’s brothers and Cephas?
6Windri ngato ja Barnabali kara wata ngurula ngamalkai panila ngankala?
6Or are Barnabas and I the only apostles who must work for a living?
7Worana tirimalinaia wapai, ja kalala pani maniai? Warle waina maru kurai, ja wata nunkani tandrandru tajiai? Warle ngami kulno ngamalkai, ja wata ngamandru tajiai?
7Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its fruit? Who tends a flock and does not drink of its milk?
8Ngani jenia kana jeribaka jatai; wata jirijiribani jaura jenia bakana jatai?
8Do I say this from a human perspective? Doesn’t the Law say the same thing?
9Ngangau Mosini jirijiribani jaurani dakanala parai: „Jundru ngantini nulu tandra nankanankai, wata mana billieli ngandrawalkananto!“ Godali nganti manujeli ngundrai kara?
9For it is written in the Law of Moses: “Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.” Is it about oxen that God is concerned?
10Nauja jenia wata kantji ngaianingundru jatai? Kau, ngaianingundru jenia dakanala parai, ngangau mita bakunietjali mita bakujai kalkanaia, ja tandra nankanankanietjali nankai kalkanaia, bakana manila.
10Isn’t He actually speaking on our behalf? Indeed, this was written for us, because when the plowman plows and the thresher threshes, they should also expect to share in the harvest.
11Ngaiani jurangu Jaolaia poto jaupana warai, jenia pirna nganai, ngaiani jurani mitaia poto kampanani?
11If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much for us to reap a material harvest from you?
12Kana pilkieli ngurula ngamalkanani jurangu, minandru morla wata ngaiani? Ngaiani ninapini ngurula wata manina warai, a‐ai, ngaiani pratjana mandrai, ngaiani wata dakaterini jinkinanto Christuni ngantjani jaurani.
12If others have this right to your support, shouldn’t we have it all the more? But we did not exercise this right. Instead, we put up with anything rather than hinder the gospel of Christ.
13Jura wata milkila, tanali poto ngumu ngankingai, poto ngumundru tajiai? Ja tanali Altara ngamalkai, Altarandru maniai?
13Do you not know that those who work in the temple eat of its food, and those who serve at the altar partake of its offerings?
14Jeruja bakana Kaparali kurana wonti, tanali ngantjani jaura kaukaubai, tana ngantjani jaurandru bakana tepirinanto.
14In the same way, the Lord has prescribed that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel.
15Ngato panila tanangundru manina warai. Jenia ngato wata dakana warai, ngakangu bakana jeruja pantjinanto. Ngakangu morla ngumu nganananto palila, kulnujeli pirnala kaliati.
15But I have not used any of these rights. And I am not writing this to suggest that something be done for me. Indeed, I would rather die than let anyone nullify my boast.
16Ngato ngantjani jaura kaukaubanani, jenia wata pirnala nganai ngakangu, ngangau ngato jenia kantji ngankananto. Jakajai ngakangu, ngato ngantjani jaura wata kaukaubanani.
16Yet when I preach the gospel, I have no reason to boast, because I am obligated to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!
17Ngangau ngato jenia bakujeli ngankanani, ngato kalala manila nganai; ngato jenia buljubuljujeli ngankanani, jeruja ngakangu Godaia poto ngamalkijiribani jinkinala.
17If my preaching is voluntary, I have a reward. But if it is not voluntary, I am still entrusted with a responsibility.
18Mina kalala ngakani nganai? Ngato ngantjani jaura kaukaubanani, ngato ninaia ngantjani jaura bakujeli kaukaubananto, ja ngakani ngurula ngantjani jaurandru wata maninanto.
18What then is my reward? That in preaching the gospel I may offer it free of charge, and so not use up my rights in preaching it.
19Ngani wata kulnuja mili nganai, ngani munta pratjanani mili jinkiterinala, ngato tanangundru marapu mamananto.
19Though I am free of obligation to anyone, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible.
20Ja ngani Juda kanani Juda kana jeribaka pantjina warai, Juda kana mamala; tanangu, tana jirijiribani jaurani ngamai, jirijiribani jaurani ngamanani jeribaka, tanana, tana jirijiribani jaurani ngamai, mamala;
20To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), to win those under the law.
21Tanangu, tana jirijiribani jaura panina, jirijiribani jaura panini jeribaka, ngani munta wata Godaia jirijiribani jaura panini ngamai, a‐ai, ngani jirijiribani jaurani ngamai Christungu, tanana, tana jirijiribani jaura panini, mamala.
21To those without the law I became like one without the law (though I am not outside the law of God but am under the law of Christ), to win those without the law.
22Ngani waltowaltuetjani waltowaltuetja jeribaka pantjina warai, tanana, tana waltowalto, mamala; ngani kana pratjanani pratjana pantjina warai, paruparu palpa kulkala.
22To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some.
23Jenia pratjana ngato ngankai ngantjani jaurandru, ngato nunkanina maninanto. (Dakani jaura Septuagesimä ditjini.)
23I do all this for the sake of the gospel, so that I may share in its blessings.
24Wata jura milkila, tana milkimalini mitani mindriai, pratjana mindriai, ja windri kulnujeli kalala patai? Jeruja jura mindrianau nina patala.
24Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way as to take the prize.
25Pratjaterina, tana mindriai, pratjanani ngamalkateriai; tanapara pirapira manila nau mudai, ja ngaiani pirapira nau wata mudai.
25Everyone who competes in the games trains with strict discipline. They do it for a crown that is perishable, but we do it for a crown that is imperishable.
26Ngani mindriai, ja wata bakuja; ngato nandrai, ja wata kulnuni jeribaka nulu warumai.
26Therefore I do not run aimlessly; I do not fight like I am beating the air.
27A‐ai, ngani palku nankateriai, ja nina mila ngankateriai, ngangau ngato nguruni matja kaukaubani pirna nganana, munta tintateriati.
27No, I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.
