Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Wata marapu jurangundru ngujangujara jinkinietja pantjianau, ngakani ngatata worajai, ngangau jura milkila, ngaiani kalala morla pirna manila nganai.
1Be ye not many masters, my brethren, knowing that you receive the greater judgment.
2Ngangau pota marapu ngaiana pratjanali madlentji ngankai; warle wata jaura kulnujeli madlentji ngankai, nau kana talku nganai, ja bakana ngurunguru, palku warupoto patala.
2For in many things we all offend. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man. He is able also with a bridle to lead about the whole body.
3Mai, ngaiana nantuni marda manani widmai, tana ngaianangu pankinanto, jeruja ngaiana bakana tanani palku warupoto karitjikaritjimalkai.
3For if we put bits into the mouths of horses, that they may obey us, and we turn about their whole body.
4Mai, bakana bota, tana pirna nganai, ja watara ngurungurujeli tanana tertabai, ja karitjimalkani pita wakali tanana karitjikaritjimalkai, wodajeri bota wapalkanietjali ngantjai.
4Behold also ships, whereas they are great, and are driven by strong winds, yet are they turned about with a small helm, whithersoever the force of the governor willeth.
5Jeruja bakana tali buru waka nganai, ja poto pirna jurakokateriai. Mai, turu wakali, mina bukangandru pirna nulu miribai!
5Even so the tongue is indeed a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold how small a fire kindleth a great wood.
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.
6And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is placed among our members, which defileth the whole body, and inflameth the wheel of our nativity, being 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;
7For every nature of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of the rest, is tamed, and hath been tamed, by the nature of man:
8Windri wata kana kulnujeli ngurula ngamalkai tali murla ngankala, nau mukatepi madlentji ja naria kaldri manamiri.
8But the tongue no man can tame, an unquiet 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.
9By it we bless God and the Father: and by it we curse men, who are made after the likeness of God.
10Mana kulnundru jaura ngumu ja jaura madlentji dunkai. Jenia, ngakani ngatata worajai, wata jeruja nganananto.
10Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
11Ngapa jukari wilpa kulnundru ngapa kaldri ja mardu dunkalkai?
11Doth a fountain send forth, out of the same hole, sweet and bitter water?
12Ngakani ngatata worajai, manawarra pitali mani tandra mandrananto kara; waina pitali manawarra kara? Jeruja bakana ngapajukari kaldri kulnujeli ngandandariai ngapa mardu dunkalkala.
12Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear grapes; or the vine, figs? So neither can the salt water yield sweet.
13Worana kiri ja milkila jurangundru nganai? Nulia wirarini ngumuni nunkanani ngankana nunkani wondramai kirilaia manjuni.
13Who is a wise man, and endued with knowledge among you? Let him shew, by a good conversation, his work in the meekness of wisdom.
14Jura kuterini kaldri ja pirna ngundraterini jurangu ngarani ngamalkanani, jeruja wata jurakokaterianau morlalulani ja wata jedianau!
14But if you have bitter zeal, and there be contentions in your hearts; glory not, and be not liars against the truth.
15Naupini kirila wata mirindru ngarina wonti, a‐ai, nauja mitaia ja mungaraia ja kutjia (kirila).
15For this is not wisdom, descending from above: but earthly, sensual, devilish.
16Ngangau woderi kuterina ja pirna ngundraterina nganai, jerra tjautjau ja ngankana madlentji pratjana nganai.
16For where envying and contention is, there is inconstancy, and every evil work.
17Jenipara kirila mirindru nganai: Ngopera ninta pirna, ngadani murlali, malti, pankina, kalumiltjamiltjarina ja tandra ngumu manamiri, mudlawariwari pani, jeljujelju pani.
17But the wisdom, that is from above, first indeed is chaste, then peaceable, modest, easy to be persuaded, consenting to the good, full of mercy and good fruits, without judging, without dissimulation.
18Talkulaia tandra tanali jaupai, tanali murla ngankanietja nganai.
18And the fruit of justice is sown in peace, to them that make peace.
