Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
Berean Standard Bible
1Pauluna, Godaia mili ja Jesuni Christuni Apostel, Godaia kalkalkani morlalu ngundranandru, ja morlaluja ngujamanandru, nulia talkulaia wapalkai,
1Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ for the faith of God’s elect and their knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness,
2Tepi nguralia kalkanandru, ninaia jedini pani Godali talpadakana wonti miljaru nguralindru.
2in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began.
3Nulia miljaru talkuni jaura nunkani tinkari ngankana wonti kaukaubanali, ninaia Nulia ngakangu jinkina wonti Godaia Kulpanipirnaia ngaiananaia jirijiribanandru,
3In His own time He has made His word evident in the proclamation entrusted to me by the command of God our Savior.
4Titungu, kupa talkuni ngakanani jela morlalu ngundranandru: Manjula, ja kalumiltjamiltjarina, ja murla Goda Ngaperandru, ja Kapara Jesus Christus ngaianani Kulkanipirnandru.
4To Titus, my true child in our common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.
5Jendrania ngato jidna Kretangu worarana kurana wonti, ngangau jundru pratjana talku ngankingananto, ja ngura pilki ja pilkini ngamalkijiribanietja kurananto, worderu ngato jinkangu jirijiribana wonti.
5The reason I left you in Crete was that you would set in order what was unfinished and appoint elders in every town, as I directed you.
6Kulno madlentji pani ngananani, widla kulnuja noa, kupa morlalu ngundrani ngamalkanani, tanangundru kanali wata warawarabai mirantjati ja wata pankini kara.
6An elder must be blameless, the husband of but one wife, having children who are believers and who are not open to accusation of indiscretion or insubordination.
7Ngangau jaura jinkinietja madlentji pani nganananto Godaia punga ngamalkijiribanietja jeribaka, wata pirna ngundraterini, wata nurujeli tiri, wata tapanietja, wata nandranietja, wata kalikalipaterinietja,
7As God’s steward, an overseer must be above reproach—not self-absorbed, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not greedy for money.
8A‐ai, tidnapalara patanietja, ngumuja kamaneli, pirna ngundrani, talku, kulikiri, ninta pirna.
8Instead, he must be hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined.
9Nulu ngujangujara parparali patananto worderu jaura morlaluni parai, nau ngurunguru nganananto jaura tepieli kurukurubala ja tatanietja karkarkala.
9He must hold firmly to the faithful word as it was taught, so that he can encourage others by sound teaching and refute those who contradict it.
10Ngangau delkina jatajatanietja ja jedibanietja marapu nganai, morla pirna tana karuwalilandru,
10For many are rebellious and full of empty talk and deception, especially those of the circumcision,
11Tanangu ngaiana mana ngandrawalkananto; ngangau jenipara kanali punga warupoto karitjimalkai, ja ngujangujara jinkiai, mina wata ngumu, kalikalipaterinandru.
11who must be silenced. For the sake of dishonorable gain, they undermine entire households and teach things they should not.
12Kulno tanangundru, tanani Propheta munta, jatana wonti: „Kretala milingeru jedikantji, nganti tiri, ja mandra nguja nganai.“
12As one of their own prophets has said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.”
13Naupini tinkari ngankani morlalu nganai; Jendrangundruja tanana parparali kurukurubamai, tana tepi nganananto morlalu ngundranani,
13This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sternly, so that they will be sound in the faith
14Tanali Juda kanaia jaura baku ja kanaia jirijiribani jaura wata ngundrananto, ngangau tana morlalulandru karitjimalkai.
14and will pay no attention to Jewish myths or to the commands of men who have rejected the truth.
15Warupoto kulikiri nganai kana kulikirini; kana tidatidani ja morlalu ngundrani panini panila kulikiri nganai, a‐ai, tjuru ja ngara ngaiala tanani tidatida nganai;
15To the pure, all things are pure; but to the defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure. Indeed, both their minds and their consciences are defiled.
16Tana dikai, ngaiani Goda ngujamai, windri ngankanali tanali nina kutikutibai, ngangau tana dalkumaranietja ja delkinietja, ja waltowalto ngankana ngumu pratjanani.
16They profess to know God, but by their actions they deny Him. They are detestable, disobedient, and unfit for any good deed.
