Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
World English Bible
1Wata marapu jurangundru ngujangujara jinkinietja pantjianau, ngakani ngatata worajai, ngangau jura milkila, ngaiani kalala morla pirna manila nganai.
1Let not many of you be teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive heavier 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 we all stumble in many things. Anyone who doesn’t stumble in word is a perfect person, able to bridle the whole body also.
3Mai, ngaiana nantuni marda manani widmai, tana ngaianangu pankinanto, jeruja ngaiana bakana tanani palku warupoto karitjikaritjimalkai.
3Indeed, we put bits into the horses’ mouths so that they may obey us, and we guide 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, the ships also, though they are so big and are driven by fierce winds, are yet guided by a very small rudder, wherever the pilot desires.
5Jeruja bakana tali buru waka nganai, ja poto pirna jurakokateriai. Mai, turu wakali, mina bukangandru pirna nulu miribai!
5So the tongue is also a little member, and boasts great things. See how a small fire can spread to a large forest!
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. The world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire by Gehenna.
7Ngangau nganti nguja pratjana, paia ja tjutju ja nganti ngapala kanali murla ngankai, ja tana murla ngankana wonti kanaia ngurulali;
7For every kind of animal, bird, creeping thing, and sea creature is tamed, and has been tamed by mankind;
8Windri wata kana kulnujeli ngurula ngamalkai tali murla ngankala, nau mukatepi madlentji ja naria kaldri manamiri.
8but nobody 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 it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men who are made in the image of God.
10Mana kulnundru jaura ngumu ja jaura madlentji dunkai. Jenia, ngakani ngatata worajai, wata jeruja nganananto.
10Out of the same mouth comes blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.
11Ngapa jukari wilpa kulnundru ngapa kaldri ja mardu dunkalkai?
11Does a spring send out from the same opening fresh 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 a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and 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 by his good conduct that his deeds are done in gentleness of wisdom.
14Jura kuterini kaldri ja pirna ngundraterini jurangu ngarani ngamalkanani, jeruja wata jurakokaterianau morlalulani ja wata jedianau!
14But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don’t boast and don’t lie against the truth.
15Naupini kirila wata mirindru ngarina wonti, a‐ai, nauja mitaia ja mungaraia ja kutjia (kirila).
15This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic.
16Ngangau woderi kuterina ja pirna ngundraterina nganai, jerra tjautjau ja ngankana madlentji pratjana nganai.
16For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed.
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 is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
18Talkulaia tandra tanali jaupai, tanali murla ngankanietja nganai.
18Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
