Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
Berean Standard Bible
1Morlalu naupini jaura nganai: Kulnujeli ngantjanani jaurajinkinietjaia ngamalkijiribani manila, nulu ngankana ngumu ngantjai.
1This is a trustworthy saying: If anyone aspires to be an overseer, he desires a noble task.
2Jaura jinkinietja madlentji pani nganananto, widla kulnuja noa, baka nguru, kalu nguru, maramanju, tidnapalarani manju, ngujangujarani kiri,
2An overseer, then, must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,
3Wata tapanietja, wata tirietja, a‐ai, malti, jatamalini ja ngukingukibaterini pani,
3not dependent on wine, not violent but gentle, peaceable, and free of the love of money.
4Nulu punga nunkani ngumu najinajibai, ja nunkani kupa pankinani ngumu ngamalkai talkula pratjanali.
4An overseer must manage his own household well and keep his children under control, with complete dignity.
5Kulno wata kiri ngananani nunkani punga ngumu najinajibala, worderu nulu Godaia mili wolara ngamalkijiribananto?
5For if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how can he care for the church of God?
6Wata mili marra, nau wombatjaraiati ja ngulkuterkanietjaia kalalani puriati.
6He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same condemnation as the devil.
7Tanali palarani nunkangundru jurakokani jaura ngumu ngamalkananto, nau wata ngirkibanani ja ngulkuterkanietjaia wirini purinanto.
7Furthermore, he must have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the snare of the devil.
8Jeruja bakana mili talku nganananto, wata tali pudla mandru ngamalkananto, wata waina pirna tapananto, wata murumurujeli ngukingukibaterinanto.
8Deacons likewise must be dignified, not double-tongued or given to much wine or greedy for money.
9Tanali morlalu ngundranaia kurukurula ngara kulikirini ngamalkananto.
9They must hold to the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience.
10Ja (kaparali) tanana ngopera wontjananto, ngadani tana ngamalkijiribani tanani woninanto, tana madlentji pani ngananani.
10Additionally, they must first be tested. Then, if they are above reproach, let them serve as deacons.
11Jeruja bakana widla nganananto, talku, wata kuringulkuterkanietja, baka nguru, morlalu warupotuni.
11In the same way, the women must be dignified, not slanderers, but temperate and faithful in all things.
12Mili widla kulnuja noa nganananto, tanali tanani kupa ja tanani punga ngumu najinajibananto.
12A deacon must be the husband of but one wife, a good manager of his children and of his own household.
13Tana matja mili ngumu ngamana warai, tana witta ngumu ja manubaku pirna patai morlalu ngundranani Christungu Jesungu.
13For those who have served well as deacons acquire for themselves a high standing and great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.
14Jenia ngato jinkangu dakai, ja ngundrai, jinkangu wolja wokarala;
14Although I hope to come to you soon, I am writing you these things
15Ngani juri ngamanani kara, jundru ngujamananto, worderu Godaia pungani ngamananto, nauja tepia Goda mili wolara nganai; morlalulaia marda pantja, ja marda kapara.
15in case I am delayed, so that you will know how each one must conduct himself in God’s household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth.
16Ja talkulaia kurukurula kantji pirna nganai: Godali wondraterina wonti palkuni, talku pantjina wonti Jaolani, angelani wondraterina wonti, kana koni kaukaubana wonti, mitala morlalu ngundrana wonti, pirnalani tarana wonti.
16By common confession, the mystery of godliness is great: He appeared in the flesh, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was proclaimed among the nations, was believed in throughout the world, was taken up in glory.
