Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Wodajerindru tirimalini ja wodajerindru jatamalini jurangu jela? Wata jendrangundruja, ngangau jurani milkirina tirimaliai jurani buruni?
1From whence are wars and contentions among you? Are they not hence, from your concupiscences, which war in your members?
2Jura milkiriai, ja wata ngamalkai; jura naria nandrai ja kiri najiai, ja ngandandariai ninaia manila; jura jatamaliai ja tirimaliai, ja panila ngamalkai, ngangau jura wata ngatjiai.
2You covet, and have not: you kill, and envy, and can not obtain. You contend and war, and you have not, because you ask not.
3Jura ngatjiai, ja wata maniai, ngangau jura baku ngatjiai, jura jenia jurani jertapaterinani julkananto.
3You ask, and receive not; because you ask amiss: that you may consume it on your concupiscences.
4Jura materi pintawokaribanietja ja widla pintawokaripanietja, jura wata milkila, mitala kamaneli Godaia tula nganai? Warle ngantjai mitala kamaneli nganala, nau Godaia tula ngankateriai.
4Adulterers, know you not that the friendship of this world is the enemy of God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of this world, becometh an enemy of God.
5Jura ngundrai kara, jaura wora baku jatai: Milkirinali Jaolali ngantjai, ninaia Nulia ngaianangu kurana wonti?
5Or do you think that the scripture saith in vain: To envy doth the spirit covet which dwelleth in you?
6Manjula morla pirna Nulia jinkiai. Jendrangundruja dakanala parai: „Pirna ngundraterinietjani Godali tirimaliai, ja waka ngundranietjani Nulia manjula jinkiai.“
6But he giveth greater grace. Wherefore he saith: God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
7Godani wodatarana ngamanau. Kutjini tirimalianau, jeruja nau kutingala nganai jurangundru.
7Be subject therefore to God, but resist the devil, and he will fly from you.
8Karakararianau Godani, ja Nauja jurangu karakararila nganai. Mara kulirkaterianau, kana madlentjajai, ja ngara jurani ninta pirna ngankaterianau, jura ngara pudlamandru.
8Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners: and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
9Burkaljerianau ja ngaurongauro ngamanau ja jindranau; kinkani jurani ngaurongauraia karitjinanto ja mankini wurpuraia.
9Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your joy into sorrow.
10Kaparani waka ngankaterianau, ja Nulia jurana miri ngankala nganai.
10Be humbled in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you.
11Wata ngulkuterkijiribamalianimai, ngatata worajai! Warle ngatata kulnuni ngulkuterkai, ja nunkani ngatatani kara kalala kurai, nulu jirijiribani jaurani ngulkuterkai, ja jirijiribani jaurani kalala kurai. Jundru jirijiribani jaurani kalala kuranani, jidni wata jirijiribani jauraia ngankanietja, a‐ai, kalala kuranietja nganai.
11Detract not one another, my brethren. He that detracteth his brother, or he that judgeth his brother, detracteth the law, and judgeth the law. But if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
12Kulno jirijiribani jaura jinkinietja ja kalala kuranietja nganai, Nauja ngurunguru nganai kulkala ja teribala. Worana jidni nganai, jundru ngatatani kalala kurai?
12There is one lawgiver, and judge, that is able to destroy and to deliver.
13Mai jura, jura jatai: Karari kara tankubana kara ngaiani nguraia nunkanika kara nunkanika kara palkala nganai, ja naka kilpawoldra kulno ngamala nganai, ja jinkimalila nganai, ja kalikalipaterila nganai;
13But who art thou that judgest thy neighbour? Behold, now you that say: Today or tomorrow we will go into such a city, and there we will spend a year, and will traffic, and make our gain.
14Ja jura ko nganai mina tankubana nganala nganai. Ngangau mina tepi jurani nganai? Nauja jukati nganai, nina kanali wordu najiai, ngadani nau kutingai.
14Whereas you know not what shall be on the morrow.
15Jura kantji jatananto: Kapara jertapaterinani, ja ngaiani tepi ngamanani, ngaiani jenia kara jenia kara ngankala nganai.
15For what is your life? It is a vapour which appeareth for a little while, and afterwards shall vanish away. For that you should say: If the Lord will, and if we shall live, we will do this or that.
16Ja karari jura jurakokateriai jurani pirna ngankaterinali. Jenipara jurakokaterina madlentji nganai.
16But now you rejoice in your arrogancies. All such rejoicing is wicked.
17Warle milkila ngumu ngankala ja wata ngankai, nunkangu jenia madlentji nganai.
17To him therefore who knoweth to do good, and doth it not, to him it is sin.
