Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
Berean Standard Bible
1Wata marapu jurangundru ngujangujara jinkinietja pantjianau, ngakani ngatata worajai, ngangau jura milkila, ngaiani kalala morla pirna manila nganai.
1Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.
2Ngangau pota marapu ngaiana pratjanali madlentji ngankai; warle wata jaura kulnujeli madlentji ngankai, nau kana talku nganai, ja bakana ngurunguru, palku warupoto patala.
2We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to control his whole body.
3Mai, ngaiana nantuni marda manani widmai, tana ngaianangu pankinanto, jeruja ngaiana bakana tanani palku warupoto karitjikaritjimalkai.
3When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can guide the whole animal.
4Mai, bakana bota, tana pirna nganai, ja watara ngurungurujeli tanana tertabai, ja karitjimalkani pita wakali tanana karitjikaritjimalkai, wodajeri bota wapalkanietjali ngantjai.
4Consider ships as well. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot is inclined.
5Jeruja bakana tali buru waka nganai, ja poto pirna jurakokateriai. Mai, turu wakali, mina bukangandru pirna nulu miribai!
5In the same way, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it boasts of great things. Consider how small a spark sets a great forest ablaze.
6Bakana tali turu nganai, talkula pania mitala; jeruja tali ngaianangu buruni terkai, ja palto warupoto murumuru ngankai, ja nulia tepia mindrini pirapira miribai, nina turujeli matja japini ngankana.
6The tongue also is a fire, a world of wickedness among the parts of the body. It pollutes the whole person, sets the course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.
7Ngangau nganti nguja pratjana, paia ja tjutju ja nganti ngapala kanali murla ngankai, ja tana murla ngankana wonti kanaia ngurulali;
7All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles, and creatures of the sea are being tamed and have been tamed by man,
8Windri wata kana kulnujeli ngurula ngamalkai tali murla ngankala, nau mukatepi madlentji ja naria kaldri manamiri.
8but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
9Nunkanali ngaiana Goda ja Ngaperi jurakokai, ja nunkanali ngaiana kanani jaura madlentji jinkiai, tanana Nulia Godaia mudlani jeribaka pantjimana wonti.
9With the tongue we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God’s likeness.
10Mana kulnundru jaura ngumu ja jaura madlentji dunkai. Jenia, ngakani ngatata worajai, wata jeruja nganananto.
10Out of the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, this should not be!
11Ngapa jukari wilpa kulnundru ngapa kaldri ja mardu dunkalkai?
11Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring?
12Ngakani ngatata worajai, manawarra pitali mani tandra mandrananto kara; waina pitali manawarra kara? Jeruja bakana ngapajukari kaldri kulnujeli ngandandariai ngapa mardu dunkalkala.
12My brothers, can a fig tree grow olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.
13Worana kiri ja milkila jurangundru nganai? Nulia wirarini ngumuni nunkanani ngankana nunkani wondramai kirilaia manjuni.
13Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good conduct, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.
14Jura kuterini kaldri ja pirna ngundraterini jurangu ngarani ngamalkanani, jeruja wata jurakokaterianau morlalulani ja wata jedianau!
14But if you harbor bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast in it or deny the truth.
15Naupini kirila wata mirindru ngarina wonti, a‐ai, nauja mitaia ja mungaraia ja kutjia (kirila).
15Such wisdom does not come from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.
16Ngangau woderi kuterina ja pirna ngundraterina nganai, jerra tjautjau ja ngankana madlentji pratjana nganai.
16For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every evil practice.
17Jenipara kirila mirindru nganai: Ngopera ninta pirna, ngadani murlali, malti, pankina, kalumiltjamiltjarina ja tandra ngumu manamiri, mudlawariwari pani, jeljujelju pani.
17But the wisdom from above is first of all pure, then peace-loving, gentle, accommodating, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial, and sincere.
18Talkulaia tandra tanali jaupai, tanali murla ngankanietja nganai.
18Peacemakers who sow in peace reap the fruit of righteousness.
