Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1The ancient to the dearly beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth.
1Kaparali Gajusungu ngantjaluni, nina ngato morlalu ngantjai.
2Dearly beloved, concerning all things I make it my prayer that thou mayest proceed prosperously, and fare well as thy soul doth prosperously.
2Ngantjalu, ngato ngantjai, jundru warupotuni tepi ngumu ngamalkananto, ja jidni tepi ngamananto, worderu mungara jinkani tepi ngumu ngamalkai.
3I was exceedingly glad when the brethren came and gave testimony to the truth in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.
3Ngani pirna mankina piraia, ngatata wora matja wokarana paraia, ja jinkani morlalulandru tinkari ngankana paraia, worderu jidni morlalulani wirariai.
4I have no greater grace than this, to hear that my children walk in truth.
4Mankini morla pirna ngato wata ngamalkai nunkangu, ngarala kupa ngakani morlalulani wirariai.
5Dearly beloved, thou dost faithfully whatever thou dost for the brethren, and that for strangers,
5Ngantjalu, jundru talku ngankai pratjanani, mina jundru ngankana paraia ngatatani, tana tidnapalara nganai,
6Who have given testimony to thy charity in the sight of the church: whom thou shalt do well to bring forward on their way in a manner worthy of God.
6Tanali jinkani ngantjanandru tinkari ngankana paraia mili wolarani, ja jundru ngumu ngankala nganai, jundru tanana ngankingankibanani, worderu Godani talku nganai.
7Because, for his name they went out, taking nothing of the Gentiles.
7Ngangau tana dunkana paraia nunkani talandru, ja tanali panila maniai kana kondru.
8We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be fellow helpers of the truth.
8Jeruja ngaiana wilpa nganai jenipara patala, ngaiana tanani jelangankanietja pantjinanto morlalulaia.
9I had written perhaps to the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the pre-eminence among them, doth not receive us.
9Ngato mili wolarani dakana warai, ja Diotrephes, nau pirna ngundrateriai, nulu ngaianana wata patai.
10For this cause, if I come, I will advertise his works which he doth, with malicious words prating against us. And as if these things were not enough for him, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and them that do receive them he forbiddeth, and casteth out of the church.
10Jendrangundruja, ngani wokaranani, ngato nina mangatandra, nunkani ngankanandru, tanana nulu ngankai, wilpa ngankala nganai, ngangau jaura kaldrieli nau ngaianangu jatajatai, ja morla, nulu bakana ngatata wata patai, ja nulu tanana ngandrawalkai, tana jenia jertapateriai ngankala, ja tanana mili wolarandru dangai.
11Dearly beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doth good, is of God: he that doth evil, hath not seen God.
11Ngantjalu, wata madlentjani karipateriau, a‐ai, ngumuni. Warle ngumu ngakai, nau Godandru nganai; warle madlentji ngankai, nulu Goda wata najinala.
12To Demetrius testimony is given by all, and by the truth itself, yea and we also give testimony: and thou knowest that our testimony is true.
12Pratjanali, ja bakana morlalulali muntali, Demetriusungu jaura ngumu tinkari ngankai, ja bakana ngaiana nunkangundru tinkari ngankai, ja jidni milkila, tinkari ngankani ngaianani morlalu nganai.
13I had many things to write unto thee: but I would not by ink and pen write to thee.
13Ngato marapu ngamalkai jinkangu dakala, ja ngato wata ngantjai marujeli ja pitali jenia ngankala.
14But I hope speedily to see thee, and we will speak mouth to mouth. Peace be to thee. Our friends salute thee. Salute the friends by name.
14Ngato ngundrai jidna wolja najila, ngadani ngaldra manali manani kaukaubijiribamalila nganai.
