Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
World English Bible
1Kaparali Gajusungu ngantjaluni, nina ngato morlalu ngantjai.
1The elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth.
2Ngantjalu, ngato ngantjai, jundru warupotuni tepi ngumu ngamalkananto, ja jidni tepi ngamananto, worderu mungara jinkani tepi ngumu ngamalkai.
2Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers.
3Ngani pirna mankina piraia, ngatata wora matja wokarana paraia, ja jinkani morlalulandru tinkari ngankana paraia, worderu jidni morlalulani wirariai.
3For I rejoiced greatly when brothers came and testified about your truth, even as you walk in truth.
4Mankini morla pirna ngato wata ngamalkai nunkangu, ngarala kupa ngakani morlalulani wirariai.
4I have no greater joy than this: to hear about my children walking in truth.
5Ngantjalu, jundru talku ngankai pratjanani, mina jundru ngankana paraia ngatatani, tana tidnapalara nganai,
5Beloved, you do a faithful work in whatever you accomplish for those who are brothers and strangers.
6Tanali jinkani ngantjanandru tinkari ngankana paraia mili wolarani, ja jundru ngumu ngankala nganai, jundru tanana ngankingankibanani, worderu Godani talku nganai.
6They have testified about your love before the assembly. You will do well to send them forward on their journey in a way worthy of God,
7Ngangau tana dunkana paraia nunkani talandru, ja tanali panila maniai kana kondru.
7because for the sake of the Name they went out, taking nothing from the Gentiles.
8Jeruja ngaiana wilpa nganai jenipara patala, ngaiana tanani jelangankanietja pantjinanto morlalulaia.
8We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be fellow workers for the truth.
9Ngato mili wolarani dakana warai, ja Diotrephes, nau pirna ngundrateriai, nulu ngaianana wata patai.
9I wrote to the assembly, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, doesn’t accept what we say.
10Jendrangundruja, ngani wokaranani, ngato nina mangatandra, nunkani ngankanandru, tanana nulu ngankai, wilpa ngankala nganai, ngangau jaura kaldrieli nau ngaianangu jatajatai, ja morla, nulu bakana ngatata wata patai, ja nulu tanana ngandrawalkai, tana jenia jertapateriai ngankala, ja tanana mili wolarandru dangai.
10Therefore, if I come, I will call attention to his deeds which he does, unjustly accusing us with wicked words. Not content with this, he doesn’t receive the brothers himself, and those who would, he forbids and throws out of the assembly.
11Ngantjalu, wata madlentjani karipateriau, a‐ai, ngumuni. Warle ngumu ngakai, nau Godandru nganai; warle madlentji ngankai, nulu Goda wata najinala.
11Beloved, don’t imitate that which is evil, but that which is good. He who does good is of God. He who does evil hasn’t seen God.
12Pratjanali, ja bakana morlalulali muntali, Demetriusungu jaura ngumu tinkari ngankai, ja bakana ngaiana nunkangundru tinkari ngankai, ja jidni milkila, tinkari ngankani ngaianani morlalu nganai.
12Demetrius has the testimony of all, and of the truth itself; yes, we also testify, and you know that our testimony is true.
13Ngato marapu ngamalkai jinkangu dakala, ja ngato wata ngantjai marujeli ja pitali jenia ngankala.
13I had many things to write to you, but I am unwilling to write to you with ink and pen;
14Ngato ngundrai jidna wolja najila, ngadani ngaldra manali manani kaukaubijiribamalila nganai.
14but I hope to see you soon. Then we will speak face to face. Peace be to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.
15Murla jinkangunto nganaiatimai! Kamanelieli jinkangu mandurini jaura jinpai. Mandurini jaura jinkiau kamanelini tala pilki ja pilkieli.
