Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1Now we make known unto you, brethren, the grace of God, that hath been given in the churches of Macedonia.
1Ngaiani jurangu kaukaubai, ngatata worajai, Godaia manjula, ninaia mili wolarali Macedoniani maninala,
2That in much experience of tribulation, they have had abundance of joy; and their very deep poverty hath abounded unto the riches of their simplicity.
2Worderu tanana ketjaketjana marapujeli pirna mankina paraia, ja tanani wangiwangi pirnani tanali marapu jinkina paraia poto pirnaia talkulaia.
3For according to their power (I bear them witness), and beyond their power, they were willing.
3Mina tana ngurunguru nganana paraia, ngato jenia morlalu kurai, ja morla tanali jinkina paraia muntali,
4With much entreaty begging of us the grace and communication of the ministry that is done toward the saints.
4Ja jaura marapujeli tana ngaianingu ngatjina paraia, ngaiani poto ngumu ja marangokijiribamalini kana kulikiria maninanto.
5And not as we hoped, but they gave their own selves first to the Lord, then to us by the will of God:
5Ja wata jeruja, worderu ngaiani ngundrana paraia, a‐ai, tana ngopera Kaparani jinkiterina paraia, ja ngadani ngaianingu Godaia jertapaterinandru,
6Insomuch, that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so also he would finish among you this same grace.
6Jeruja ngaiani Titus kurukurubana warai, worderu nulia ngopera wonina paraia, jeruja nulia bakana jurangu jenia poto ngumu mudananto.
7That as in all things you abound in faith, and word, and knowledge, and all carefulness; moreover also in your charity towards us, so in this grace also you may abound.
7Worderu jura warupotuni pirna nganai, morlalu ngundranali, ja jaurali, ja ngujamanali, ja jigleri marapujeli, ja jurani ngantjanali ngaianingu, jeruja jura bakana pirna nganananto nunkangupini poto ngumuni.
8I speak not as commanding; but by the carefulness of others, approving also the good disposition of your charity.
8Wata jirijiribana jeribaka ngani jenia jatai, a‐ai, ngangau mili wolara pilki jigleri nganai, ngato bakana jurani ngantjana wontjananto, nauja talku nganai kara.
9For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that being rich he became poor, for your sakes; that through his poverty you might be rich.
9Ngangau jura ngaiananaia Kaparaia Jesuni Christuni manjula ngujamai, Nauja poto pirna nganana wonti, ja jurangundru wangiwangi pantjina wonti, jura nunkani wangiwangindru poto pirna pantjinanto.
10And herein I give my advice; for this is profitable for you, who have begun not only to do, but also to be willing, a year ago.
10Ja karari ngani jurangu jatai ngakani ngundrana; ngangau jenia jurangu ngumu nganai, jura wata windri ngankana, a‐ai, bakana jertapaterina wonina wonti kilpawoldra kulnuni ngopera.
11Now therefore perform ye it also in deed; that as your mind is forward to be willing, so it may be also to perform, out of that which you have.
11Karari bakana ngankana mudanau; ngangau worderu jura manju nganana wonti jertapaterila, jeruja bakana manju ngananau ngankala nunkangundru, mina jura ngamalkai.
12For if the will be forward, it is accepted according to that which a man hath, not according to that which he hath not.
12Ngangau jertapaterina pararani, nauja talku nganai, worderu nulia ngamalkai, wata jeruja, worderu nulia wata ngamalkai.
13For I mean not that others should be eased, and you burthened, but by an equality.
13Wata jendrania, mili wolara pilki ngara ngamananto ja jura ketjaketjananto, a‐ai, pratjana jeribaka nganananto.
14In this present time let your abundance supply their want, that their abundance also may supply your want, that there may be an equality,
14Karari miljarani jurani poto manamiri tanani wangiwangilani pantjinanto, bakana tanani poto manamiri jurani wangiwangilani pantjinanto, ngangau pratjana jeribaka nganananto.
15As it is written: He that had much, had nothing over; and he that had little, had no want.
15Worderu dakanala parai: „Warle marapu kampana warai, wata manamiri ngamalkana warai; ja warle ngalje kampana warai, wata wordu nganana warai.“
16And thanks be to God, who hath given the same carefulness for you in the heart of Titus.
16Godani jurakokana nganaiatimai, Nulia ninapini jigleri jurangundru Titungu ngarani kurai.
17For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more careful, of his own will he went unto you.
17Nulia kurukurubani jaurani ngakanani pankina paraia, ja ngangau nau munta jigleri pirna nganai, nau jurangu palkana paraia.
18We have sent also with him the brother, whose praise is in the gospel through all the churches.
18Ngaiani nunkangu jelali nina ngatata jinpana paraia, nina mili wolara pratjanali ngantjani jaurani jurakokai.
19And not that only, but he was also ordained by the churches companion of our travels, for this grace, which is administered by us, to the glory of the Lord, and our determined will:
19Wata windri jenia, a‐ai, nina bakana mili wolarali kurana paraia ngaianini jelapalkanietja nunkangupini poto ngumundru, nina ngaiani ngankingai Kaparaia pirnalaia ja jurani jertapaterinaia.
20Avoiding this, lest any man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us.
20Ja jeruja ngaiani ngandrawalkai, wata kulnujeli ngaianingu jaura madlentji jatananto nunkangupini poto pirnandru, nina ngaiani ngankingai.
21For we forecast what may be good not only before God, but also before men.
21Ngangau ngaiani ngundrai mina ngumu nganai, wata windri Kaparani, a‐ai, bakana kanani.
22And we have sent with them our brother also, whom we have often proved diligent in many things; but now much more diligent, with much confidence in you,
22Ngaiani pudlangunto ngatata ngaianini jinpana paraia, nina ngaiani pota marapuni poto marapu jigleri wontjana wonti, ja nau karari morla jigleri, ngangau nulu jurangu pirna ngundrai.
23Either for Titus, who is my companion and fellow labourer towards you, or our brethren, the apostles of the churches, the glory of Christ.
23Ngani Titungundru jatanani kara, nau ngakani kamaneli ja marangokanietja nganai jurangu; ngaianini ngatatandru kara, tana mili wolaraia Apostel nganai ja Christuni pirnala;
24Wherefore shew ye to them, in the sight of the churches, the evidence of your charity, and of our boasting on your behalf.
24Jurani ngantjana, ja ngaianini jurakokaterina jurangundru, tanangu wondraterianau, bakana mili wolaraia mudlani.
