Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
World English Bible
1Ngato Paululu muntali jurana kurukurubai Christuni manjulali ja maltieli; ngani milkini jurangu waka nganai, ja jurangu panini japanguru jurangu.
1Now I Paul, myself, entreat you by the humility and gentleness of Christ, I who in your presence am lowly among you, but being absent am bold toward you.
2Ngani ngatjiai, ngani wata jurangu terti japanguru nganananto, nunkangupini morlalu ngundranani, nunkangundru ngato ngundrai japanguru nganala kana palpani, tanali ngundrai, ngaiani kana womala jeribaka wirariai.
2Yes, I beg you that I may not, when present, show courage with the confidence with which I intend to be bold against some, who consider us to be walking according to the flesh.
3Ngaiani palkuni wirarinani, ngaiani wata palkuni jeribaka tirimaliai.
3For though we walk in the flesh, we don’t wage war according to the flesh;
4Tirimalinaia poto ngaianini wata palkundru nganai, a‐ai, tana Godani ngurunguru nganai wotini ngurunguru dampuribala.
4for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds,
5Ja ngundrani, ja bakana mirila, nau miri ngankateriai Godaia ngujamanani, dakangandrala, ja dupudupu wapalkala tjuru pratjana Christuni pankinani;
5throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,
6Ja matja ngankingaterina delkini pratjanani kalala jinkila, jurani pankini matja manamiririnani.
6and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience when your obedience is made full.
7Mina mudlani parai jura najiai? Kulnujeli muntali ngundraterinani, nau Christula nganai, nulu bakana jenia nakaldra muntali ngundrananto, worderu nau muntali Christula nganai, jeruja bakana ngaiani.
7Do you look at things only as they appear in front of your face? If anyone trusts in himself that he is Christ’s, let him consider this again with himself, that even as he is Christ’s, so we also are Christ’s.
8Ngato bakana ngantjanani morla jurakaterila ngaianini ngurulandru, ninaia Kaparali ngaianingu jinkinala, jurana wotila ja wata dampuribala, ngani wata nintali pantjila nganai.
8For even if I boast somewhat abundantly concerning our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for casting you down, I will not be ashamed,
9Jura wata ngundrananto, ngato ngantjana paraia, jurana japali ngankala dakani jaurali.
9that I may not seem as if I desire to terrify you by my letters.
10Ngangau tana jatai, dakani jaura mati ja ngurunguru; palkujeli ngamana waltowalto ja jaura wakawaka.
10For, “His letters”, they say, “are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech is despised.”
11Jendralipara ngundrananto, worderu ngaiani dakani jaurali nganai worita, jeruja bakana ngankanali jurangu jela.
11Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters when we are absent, such are we also in deed when we are present.
12Ngaiani wata ngundrai, tanangu ngokamalila kara jelarila kara kana palpani, tana munta jurakokateriai; ngangau tana munta wontjateriai ja pirna ngundrateriai, tana patipati nganai.
12For we are not bold to number or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves. But they themselves, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are without understanding.
13Ngaiani wata pirna jurakokaterila nganai, a‐ai, nunkangupini wondirani, ninaia Godali ngaianina kurana wonti jurangu karakararinantulu.
13But we will not boast beyond proper limits, but within the boundaries with which God appointed to us, which reach even to you.
14Ngaiani wata miri pirna ngutateriai tanangu jeribaka, tanali jurangu wata karakarariai, ngangau ngaiani Christuni ngantjani jaurali bakana jurangu wokarana wonti.
14For we don’t stretch ourselves too much, as though we didn’t reach to you. For we came even as far as to you with the Good News of Christ,
15Ngaiani wata pirna jurakokateriai kana nguruja ngankanandru, windri ngaiani kalkai, jurani morlalu ngundrana punkanani, ngaiani pirna pantjila nganai ngaianini wondirajelu manamiria,
15not boasting beyond proper limits in other men’s labors, but having hope that as your faith grows, we will be abundantly enlarged by you in our sphere of influence,
16Ja ngantjani jaura bakana tanangupini mitani kaukaubala jurangu jerankari, ja wata kana nguruja wondirani, nunkangundru mina matja parai, ngaiani jurakokaterinanto.
16so as to preach the Good News even to the parts beyond you, not to boast in what someone else has already done.
17Worana jurakokateriai, nauja Kaparani jurakokateriatimai.
17But “he who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”
18Wata nau ngurunguru nganai, nau munta wondrateriai, a‐ai, nau, nina Kaparali jurakokai.
18For it isn’t he who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends.
