Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
World English Bible
1Ngakani ngatata worajai, wata ngundranau, morlalu ngundrana Jesungu Christungu pirnalaia Kaparani ngaiananani, kana mudla ngundrai.
1My brothers, don’t hold the faith of our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with partiality.
2Jurani jurborinani kana kulno mara pirapiranto marda maraljandru matja widmana, ja kati ngumu, ja bakana kana wangiwangi kati murumurunto jurborinani;
2For if a man with a gold ring, in fine clothing, comes into your synagogue, and a poor man in filthy clothing also comes in,
3Ja jura nina ngundranani, nulu kati ngumu ngamalkai, ja nunkangu jatanani: Ninkida ngumu ngamana ngariau; ja jura kana wangiwangini jatanani: Jerra terkamai kara, ngakani tidnaparani piria ngalpani ngamana ngariau kara.
3and you pay special attention to him who wears the fine clothing and say, “Sit here in a good place;” and you tell the poor man, “Stand there,” or “Sit by my footstool”
4Wata jura jeruja munta pilki ja pilki ngankana warai, wata jura jeruja kalala kuranietja pantjina warai ngundrana madlentjali?
4haven’t you shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?
5Ngaranau, ngakani ngatata ngantjalu: Wata Godali tanana kalkalkanala, tana wangiwangi nganai mitani, tana kana poto pirnanto nganananto morlalu ngundranani, ja mililaia maratunka maninietja, ninaia Nulia tanangu talpadakana wonti, tanali ninaia ngantjai?
5Listen, my beloved brothers. Didn’t God choose those who are poor in this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the Kingdom which he promised to those who love him?
6Jura kana wangiwangi waka ngundrana warai. Wata kana poto pirna tanapara nganai, tanali jurana nankai, wata tanali jurana kalala piria parumai?
6But you have dishonored the poor man. Don’t the rich oppress you and personally drag you before the courts?
7Wata tanali tanana nganai, tanali tala ngumu ngirkibai, nunkanali jurana matja dikana?
7Don’t they blaspheme the honorable name by which you are called?
8Jura kantji Kaparaia jirijiribani jaurani pankinani, dakani jaura worangundru: Ngurala jinkani ngantjamai jidna munta jeribaka, jeruja jura ngumu ngankai.
8However, if you fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well.
9Jura kana mudla ngundranani, jeruja jura madlentji ngankai, ja jirijiribani jaurali jurana dankaranietja dikai.
9But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.
10Ngangau warle jirijiribani jaura pratjana ngamalkai, ja windri buru kulnuni dankarai, nau pratjanani wilpa nganai.
10For whoever keeps the whole law, and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.
11Ngangau Naupini, Nauja jatana wonti: „Wata pinta wokaribamai,“ bakana jatana wonti: „Wata naria nandramai.“ Jidni wata pinta wokaribanani, windri jundru naria nandranani, jeruja jidni jirijiribani jauraia dankaranietja pantjina warai.
11For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not commit murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery but do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.
12Jeruja jatanau, ja jeruja ngankanau, jenipara jeribaka, tana kurakani jirijiribani jauraia kalala manila nganai.
12So speak and so do as men who are to be judged by the law of freedom.
13Ngangau kalala kalumiltjamiltjarina pani ngamalkai nunkangu, nau wata kalumiltjamiltjariai; kalumiltjamiltjarini jurakokateriai kalalani.
13For judgment is without mercy to him who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
14Mina jenia ngumu nganai, ngakani ngatata worajai, kulno jatanani; Ngato morlalu ngundrana ngamalkai, ja nulu wata ngankana ngamalkanani? Morlalu ngundranali ngandandariai nina kulkala?
14What good is it, my brothers, if a man says he has faith, but has no works? Can faith save him?
15Ngatata kara, kaku kara, balu ngamanani, ja ditjia buka pani ngamalkanani,
15And if a brother or sister is naked and in lack of daily food,
16Kulno jurangundru tanangu jatanani: Murlani wapanau, talpianau ja jerturianau; ja jura tanangu wata palkuja tajini jinkinani, mina jenia marangokai?
16and one of you tells them, “Go in peace. Be warmed and filled;” yet you didn’t give them the things the body needs, what good is it?
17Jeruja bakana morlalu ngundrana, nulia wata ngankana ngamalkanani, nauja munta nari nganai.
17Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself.
18Kulno jatala nganai kara: Jundru morlalu ngundrana ngamalkai, ja ngato ngankana ngamalkai. Jinkani morlalu ngundrana ngakangu wondramai ngankana panini, jeruja ngato jinkangu ngakani ngankanandru morlalu ngundrana wondrala nganai.
18Yes, a man will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without works, and I will show you my faith by my works.
19Jundru morlalu ngundrai Goda Kulno nganai, jundru talku ngankai, kutji worali bakana jenia morlalu ngundrai ja ngarrai.
19You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe—and shudder.
20Jundru ngantjai ngujamala, kana mara kalajai, morlalu ngundrana ngankana panini nari nganai?
20But do you want to know, vain man, that faith apart from works is dead?
21Wata Abraham ngaperi ngaianani ngankanandru talku pantjina wonti, nulu jendranguta Isaak ngatamura nunkani Altarani jinkina wonti?
21Wasn’t Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?
22Ninkida jundru najiai, morlalu ngundranali nunkani ngankanani marangokana wonti, ja ngankanali morlalu ngundrana manamiri pantjina wonti.
22You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was perfected.
23Ja jeruja jaura morlalu pantjina wonti, nauja jatai: „Abrahamali Godangu morlalu ngundrana wonti, ja Nulia jenia nunkani talkulani ngokana wonti,“ ja tanali nina Godaia kamaneli dikana wonti.
23So the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him as righteousness,” and he was called the friend of God.
24Jura najiai, kana ngankanandru talku pantjiai, ja wata windri morlalu ngundranandru kulnulu.
24You see then that by works a man is justified, and not only by faith.
25Jeruja bakana palakantji widla Rahab, wata nani ngankanandru talku pantjina wonti, nandru najinajibanietja pungani patana wonti, ja tanana palto pilkini nakaldra jinpana wonti?
25In the same way, wasn’t Rahab the prostitute also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?
26Worderu palku jaola panini nari nganai, jeruja bakana morlalu ngundrana, ngankana panini nari nganai.
26For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.
