Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1Now concerning the thing whereof you wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
1Nunkangundru, mina jura ngakangu dakanala, ngani jatai: Ngumu nganai kanani, nulu widla wata karanani;
2But for fear of fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
2Windri palakantjindru materali widla nunkani ngamalkaiatimai, ja widlali materi nankani ngamalkaiatimai.
3Let the husband render the debt to his wife, and the wife also in like manner to the husband.
3Materali widlani jinkinanto, mina nulu nankangu wilpanto nganai; jeruja bakana widlali materani.
4The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband. And in like manner the husband also hath not power of his own body, but the wife.
4Widlali nankani palkuni wata ngurula ngamalkai, a‐ai, materali; jeruja bakana materali nunkani palkuni wata ngurula ngamalkai, a‐ai, widlali.
5Defraud not one another, except, perhaps, by consent, for a time, that you may give yourselves to prayer; and return together again, lest Satan tempt you for your incontinency.
5Wata kulno ngadatikibau kulnuni, windri judla kulnukulnuni ngananani miljaru kulnuwirdi, jura ngara ngamani ngamalkananto milja ngamanaia ja ngatjinaia; ja nakaldra jelarialumai, Satanali judlana wontjaiati judlani waltowaltundru.
6But I speak this by indulgence, not by commandment.
6Jenia ngani jatai manuni kurana jeribaka, ja wata jirijiribana jeribaka.
7For I would that all men were even as myself: but every one hath his proper gift from God; one after this manner, and another after that.
7Ngato ngantjai, kana pratjana ngakangu jeribaka nganananto; windri pratjana pilkipilkieli Godandru nunkani manjulaia poto pilki ngamalkai, kulnujeli jeruja, kulnujeli jeruja.
8But I say to the unmarried, and to the widows: It is good for them if they so continue, even as I.
8Ngani mantakani ja mangawaruni jatai: Tanangu ngumu nganai, tana ngakangu jeribaka ngamanani.
9But if they do not contain themselves, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to be burnt.
9Tana ngandandarinani ngamalkaterila, tanali noa patananto; ngangau morla ngumu nganai, tanali noa patanani, baka pirna ketjaketjanani.
10But to them that are married, not I but the Lord commandeth, that the wife depart not from her husband.
10Tanangu pintani ngato jirijiribai, wata ngato, a‐ai, Kaparali, widla materandru wata puntibateriatimai;
11And if she depart, that she remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband. And let not the husband put away his wife.
11Nani kantji puntibaterinani, nandru noa pani ngamananto kara, materani murlali pantjinanto kara; ja materali widla wata worarananto.
12For to the rest I speak, not the Lord. If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she consent to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
12Tanangu nguruni ngani jatai, wata Kapara: Ngatata kulnujeli noa ngamalkanani, nandru wata morlalu ngundranani, ja nandru kulnukulnuni ngananani nunkangu jela ngamala, nulu nana wata worarananto.
13And if any woman hath a husband that believeth not, and he consent to dwell with her, let her not put away her husband.
13Bakana widlali noa ngamalkanani, nulu wata morlalu ngundranani, ja nulupini kulnukulnuni ngananani nankangu jela ngamala, nandru nina wata worarananto.
14For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the believing wife; and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the believing husband: otherwise your children should be unclean; but now they are holy.
14Ngangau materi, nulu wata morlalu ngundranani, kulikiri nganai widlani; ja widla, wata morlalu ngundranani, kulikiri nganai materani; jenia wata ngananani, kupa jurani murumuru ngananani, karari tana kulikiri nganai.
15But if the unbeliever depart, let him depart. For a brother or sister is not under servitude in such cases. But God hath called us in peace.
15Nulu wata morlalu ngundranani, nau puntinanto; ngatata kara, kaku kara, tanangupini potuni wata dupudupu nganai. Murlani Godali ngaianina karkana warai;
16For how knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? Or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
16Ngangau jundru milkila, widlajai, jundru materi kulkala nganai kara? Jidni milkila, materiai, jundru widla kulkala nganai kara?
17But as the Lord hath distributed to every one, as God hath called every one, so let him walk: and so in all churches I teach.
17Windri worderu Kaparali kulnuni jinkina warai, worderu Godali kulno karkana warai, jeruja nau wirarinanto. Ja jeruja ngato mili wolara pratjanani jirijiribai.
18Is any man called, being circumcised? let him not procure uncircumcision. Is any man called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.
18Nulia kulno karuwalila karkana warai, nulu wata karuwalila panini jeri ngankaterinanto; Nulia kulno karuwalila panini karkana warai, nulu wata karuwalila pantjinanto.
19Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing: but the observance of the commandments of God.
19Karuwalila panila nganai, ja karuwalila panini panila nganai, windri Godaia jirijiribani jaura ngamalkala.
20Let every man abide in the same calling in which he was called.
20Pratjana nunkangupini karkanilani ngamaiatinimai, nunkanali Nulia tanana matja karkana.
21Wast thou called, being a bondman? care not for it; but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.
21Jidni kanaia mili matja karkana, wata manujeli ngundrau, jidni ngurunguru nganai kurakaterila, kurakateriau!
22For he that is called in the Lord, being a bondman, is the freeman of the Lord. Likewise he that is called, being free, is the bondman of Christ.
22Ngangau worana Kaparani kanaia mili matja karkana, nau Kaparaia kurakanila nganai; jeruja bakana, worana kurakanila matja karkana, nau Christuja mili nganai.
23You are bought with a price; be not made the bondslaves of men.
23Kalala pirnali Nulia jurana burungankana wonti; wata kanaia mili pantjianau!
24Brethren, let every man, wherein he was called, therein abide with God.
24Ngatata worajai, pratjana nunkangu ngamananto Godani, worderu Nulia nina karkana warai.
25Now concerning virgins, I have no commandment of the Lord; but I give counsel, as having obtained mercy of the Lord, to be faithful.
25Mankarandru ngato wata Kaparaia jirijiribani jaura ngamalkai: ngato ngundrana ngankani kaukaubai, ngangau ngato Kaparandru kalumiltjamiltjarina manina wonti morlalu ngundrani nganala.
26I think therefore that this is good for the present necessity, that it is good for a man so to be.
26Jeruja ngato ngundrai, jenia ngumu nganai karari ketjaketjanandru, jenia kana kulnuni ngumu nganai jeruja nganala.
27Art thou bound to a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
27Jidni widlani workamantraterina warai, wata wontiau nana worarala; jundru widla pani ngananani, wata widla wontiau.
28But if thou take a wife, thou hast not sinned. And if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned: nevertheless, such shall have tribulation of the flesh. But I spare you.
28Jundru kantji noa patana warai, jundru wata madlentji ngankana warai; ja mankarali noa patana warai, nandru bakana wata madlentji ngankana warai. Ketjaketjana palkujeli tanali ngamalkala nganai; ngato jurana kulkananto.
29This therefore I say, brethren; the time is short; it remaineth, that they also who have wives, be as if they had none;
29Jenia ngani jatai, ngatata worajai, miljaru wordu nganai; ngangau bakana tanana, tanali noa ngamalkai, nganananto noa pani jeribaka; ja tana jindrala wapaia, jindrana pani jeribaka nganananto;
30And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as if they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;
30Ja tana mankila wapaia, mankina pani jeribaka nganananto; ja tanali burungankala wapaia, poto pani jeribaka nganananto.
31And they that use this world, as if they used it not: for the fashion of this world passeth away.
31Ja tanali ninapini mita ngamalkala wapaia, wata ngamalkana jeribaka nganananto; ngangau nunkanipini mitaia mudla mudai.
32But I would have you to be without solicitude. He that is without a wife, is solicitous for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please God.
32Ngato ngantjai, jura manujeli ngundrani pani nganananto. Mantaka materali manujeli ngundrai mina Kaparaia nganai, worderu nau Godaia ngantjani nganananto.
33But he that is with a wife, is solicitous for the things of the world, how he may please his wife: and he is divided.
33Warle noa patana warai, mitaia manujeli ngundrai, worderu nau widlaia ngantjani nganananto.
34And the unmarried woman and the virgin thinketh on the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she that is married thinketh on the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
34Pilkipilki nganai widlani ja mankarani. Mantaka widlali manujeli ngundrai mina Kaparaia nganai, nani kulikiri nganananto palkujeli ja jaolali; nandru matja noa patana, nana manujeli ngundrai mina mitaia nganai, worderu nani materaia ngantjani nganananto.
35And this I speak for your profit: not to cast a snare upon you; but for that which is decent, and which may give you power to attend upon the Lord, without impediment.
35Jenia ngani jatai jurani ngumuja; ngato jurangu wata minti worananto, a‐ai, ngangau jenia ngumu nganai, jura milingeru ja wonki Kaparani nganananto.
36But if any man think that he seemeth dishonoured, with regard to his virgin, for that she is above the age, and it must so be: let him do what he will; he sinneth not, if she marry.
36Kulnujeli ngundranani, nunkani mankarani nintali nganai, ngangau nunkani mankaraia ditji mudaiati, ja jenia jeruja pantjinanto, nulu ngankaiatimai mina nau jertapateriai, nulu wata madlentji ngankai; nana noa patananto.
37For he that hath determined being steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but having power of his own will; and hath judged this in his heart, to keep his virgin, doth well.
37Warle ngarali ngurunguru ngundranani, ja nunkangu wata nankanankana parai, ja ngurula ngamalkai nunkani jertapaterinani, ja nunkani ngarani jenia ngundrana warai, nunkani mankara ngamalkijiribala, nulu ngumu ngankai.
38Therefore, both he that giveth his virgin in marriage, doth well; and he that giveth her not, doth better.
38Jeruja nulu ngumu ngankai, nulu noa patai; ja nulupini, nulu wata noa patai, nulu morla ngumu ngankai.
39A woman is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband die, she is at liberty: let her marry to whom she will; only in the Lord.
39Widla workamandrana nganai jirijiribani jaurandru, jeruntjaia ditji noa nankani tepi nganai; nankani noa matja palinani, nani kurakani nganai noa kulno patala worana nandru ngantjai, windri Kaparani.
40But more blessed shall she be, if she so remain, according to my counsel; and I think that I also have the spirit of God.
40Nani morla murlali nganai, nani jeruja ngamanani, worderu ngato ngundrai. Ngato ngundrai, ngato bakana Godaia Jaola ngamalkai.
