Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1And when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.
1Tana Amphipolingu ja Apolloniangu matja palkingana, tana Thessalonichingu wokarana wonti, woderi Juda kanaia jaura punga nganana wonti.
2And Paul, according to his custom, went in unto them; and for three sabbath days he reasoned with them out of the scriptures:
2Worderu Paululu milingeru, jeruja nau bakana tanangu wirina wonti, ja tanangunto Sabbat ditji parkulani ngankamalina wonti.
3Declaring and insinuating that the Christ was to suffer, and to rise again from the dead; and that this is Jesus Christ, whom I preach to you.
3Jaurandru nulu tanangu mildiri ngankana wonti, ja kurana wonti, Christus ketjaketjananto ja narindru jiritjinanto, ja Naupini Christus Jesus nganai, ninaia ngato jurangu kaukaubai.
4And some of them believed, and were associated to Paul and Silas; and of those that served God, and of the Gentiles a great multitude, and of noble women not a few.
4Ja palpali tanangundru morlalu ngundrana wonti, ja Paulungu ja Silangu ngokana wonti, ja Griekala Godandru japali marapu, ja kana widla pirna wata ngalje.
5But the Jews, moved with envy, and taking unto them some wicked men of the vulgar sort, and making a tumult, set the city in an uproar; and besetting Jason’s house, sought to bring them out unto the people.
5Juda kana, tana wata morlalu ngundrana wonti, milkirina wonti, ja tana jurborini pirindru materi madlentji palpa patana wonti, ja mapaterina wonti, ja ngura patijiritjibana wonti; ja tana Jason pungani tidnantani terkakana wonti, ja wontjana wonti, tanana kana wolarani wapalkala.
6And not finding them, they drew Jason and certain brethren to the rulers of the city, crying: They that set the city in an uproar, are come hither also;
6Tanali tanana wata mankamankanani, tanali Jason ja ngatata palpa nguraia kaparani parumana wonti ja maritjina wonti: „Tanapini, tanali mita maru patijiritjibana warai, bakana ninkida wokarana warai;
7Whom Jason hath received; and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.
7Tananapini Jasonili ngamalkai, ja tanali pratjanali mitaia kaparaia jirijiribani jaurani delkiai, ngangau tanana kurai, Kulno nguru Kapara nganai, Jesus.“
8And they stirred up the people, and the rulers of the city hearing these things,
8Tanali kana wolara ja nguraia kapara, tanali jenia matja ngaranani, patijiritjibana wonti.
9And having taken satisfaction of Jason and of the rest, they let them go.
9Ja tanali Jasoningundru ja ngurundru morlalula matja manina, tanali tanana worani patana wonti.
10But the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea. Who, when they were come thither, went into the synagogue of the Jews.
10Ngatatajeli nurujeli tinkani Paulus ja Silas Beröangu jinpana wonti, ja pudla naka matja wokarana, pudla Juda kanaia jaura pungani wirina wonti.
11Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, who received the word with all eagerness, daily searching the scriptures, whether these things were so.
11Tanalipini morla ngumu ngundrana wonti Thessalonichalani, ngangau tanali jaura manjujeli patana wonti, ja ditji pratjanani Godaia jaurani wontina wonti, tanapini jeruja nganai kara.
12And many indeed of them believed, and of honourable women that were Gentiles, and of men not a few.
12Jeruja marapujeli tanangundru morlalu ngundrana wonti, ja bakana Griekala kana pirna widla ja materi wata ngaljejeli.
13And when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was also preached by Paul at Berea, they came thither also, stirring up and troubling the multitude.
13Thessalonicha Juda kanali matja ngarana, bakana Beröani Paululu Godaia jaura kaukaubai, tana wokarana wonti, bakana naka kana wolara patijiritjibala.
14And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul, to go unto the sea; but Silas and Timothy remained there.
14Nurujeli ngatatajeli Paulus jinpana wonti, nau panto pirnaia dirkalajelu palkananto; Silas ja Timotheus naka ngamantina wonti.
15And they that conducted Paul, brought him as far as Athens; and receiving a commandment from him to Silas and Timothy, that they should come to him with all speed, they departed.
15Tana Paulungu jela wapana, tanali nina Athenilu wapalkana wonti, ja tanali jirijiribani jaura matja manina, Silas ja Timotheus nurujeli nunkangu wokarananto, tana tarpina tikana wonti.
16Now whilst Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred within him, seeing the city wholly given to idolatry.
16Paulus Atheningu kalkaterinani pudlangu, nau jaola jerkina wonti, ngangau nulu najina wonti, ngurani Goda mudlamalka marapu paranani.
17He disputed, therefore, in the synagogue with the Jews, and with them that served God, and in the marketplace, every day with them that were there.
17Nulu jaura pungani Juda kanani, ja tanangu Godandru japali, ngankamalina wonti, ja jurborini pirini ditji pratjanani tanangu, tana jerra wokarana wonti.
18And certain philosophers of the Epicureans and of the Stoics disputed with him; and some said: What is it, that this word sower would say? But others: He seemeth to be a setter forth of new gods; because he preached to them Jesus and the resurrection.
18Palpali epicuräa ja stoika kana kirieli nunkangunto jatamalina wonti; ja palpa jatana wonti: „Mina naupini jatajatanietja jertapateriai jatala?“ Palpa nguru: „Ngaiani ngundrai, nulia kaukaubanietja Goda pilkindru nganai;“ Ngangau nulu tanangu ngantjani jaura Jesungundru, ja tepi terkakanani, kaukaubana wonti.
19And taking him, they brought him to the Areopagus, saying: May we know what this new doctrine is, which thou speakest of?
19Ja tanali nina patana wonti, ja nina Areopagani wapalkana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Ngaiani ngujamananto, mina ngujangujara naupini nganai, ninaia jundru kaukaubai?
20For thou bringest in certain new things to our ears. We would know therefore what these things mean.
20Ngangau jundru ngaianingu talpani palpa tula wirilkai, ngaiani ngantjai milkila nganala, mina jenia nganai.“
21(Now all the Athenians, and strangers that were there, employed themselves in nothing else, but either in telling or in hearing some new thing.)
21Athenalali, ja tana tidnapalarali, naka ngamanani, wata pilki ngundrana wonti, a‐ai, windri milingeru palpa marra jatala ja ngarala.
22But Paul standing in the midst of the Areopagus, said: Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are too superstitious.
22Paulus Areopagani terti terkana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Athenala worajai! Ngato najiai, jura pratjanani Goda worangundru japali nganai.
23For passing by, and seeing your idols, I found an altar also, on which was written: To the unknown God. What therefore you worship, without knowing it, that I preach to you:
23Ngangau ngani palkingana warai, ja jurani poto kulikiri najina warai, ja ngato Altara kulno mankamankana warai, nunkangu dakani parai: «Nunkangupini Godani, nunkangu ngaiani ko.» Ninapini, ninaia jura bulu ngujamanali wodatarana ngamai, ngato jurangu kaukaubai.
24God, who made the world, and all things therein; he, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
24Nulupini Godali, Nulia mita maru, ja pratjana mina nunkangu mandrani, pantjimana wonti, Naupini pariwilpaia ja mitaia Kapara nganai, wata pungani ngamai, tana marali wotinala;
25Neither is he served with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing; seeing it is he who giveth to all life, and breath, and all things:
25Kana marali ninaia bakana wata ngamalkai, Nulia minakulno morla ngamalkananto, a‐ai, Nulia muntali pratjanani tepi ja jaola ja warupoto jinkiai.
26And hath made of one, all mankind, to dwell upon the whole face of the earth, determining appointed times, and the limits of their habitation.
26Ja Nulia ngankana wonti, kulnuja kumarandru kana wolara mita maruja mudlani ngamananto, ja Nulia miljaru talku ja wondiri ngopera kurana wonti, worderunutana ngamananto.
27That they should seek God, if happily they may feel after him or find him, although he be not far from every one of us:
27Ngangau tanali Kapara wontinanto, tanali nina karakarananto ja mankamankananto; ngangau Nauja kantji wata worita nganai ngaianangu pratjanani.
28For in him we live, and move, and are; as some also of your own poets said: For we are also his offspring.
28Ngangau nunkangupini ngaiana tepiriai ja wirariai ja kantji nganai; worderu bakana jurani kurakuranietja palpa jatanala: «Ngaiana nunkani nguja nganai.»
29Being therefore the offspring of God, we must not suppose the divinity to be like unto gold, or silver, or stone, the graving of art, and device of man.
29Ngangau ngaiana Godaia nguja nganai, ngaiana wata ngundrananto, Goda jeribaka nganai, marda maraljeni kara, marda buluni kara, mardani kara, mudlani kara, ninaia kana kirila ja mankani matja ngankana.
30And God indeed having winked at the times of this ignorance, now declareth unto men, that all should every where do penance.
30Godali koja miljaru wata ngundrai, ja karari Nulia kana warupotuni paruparu jirijiribai madlentjandru karitjinanto;
31Because he hath appointed a day wherein he will judge the world in equity, by the man whom he hath appointed; giving faith to all, by raising him up from the dead.
31Ngangau Nulia ditji kulno kurana wonti, nunkangupini Nulia mita maruni kalala jinkila nganai talkulali, kana kulnujeli, ninaia Nulia kurana wonti, ja pratjanani morlalu ngundrana kurai, Nulia ninaia narindru matja jiritjibana.“
32And when they had heard of the resurrection of the dead, some indeed mocked, but others said: We will hear thee again concerning this matter.
32Tanali narindru jiritjini matja ngarana, palpali ngirkibana wonti; palpa jatana wonti: „Ngaiani jidna jendrangundruja nakaldra morla ngarananto.“
33So Paul went out from among them.
33Jeruja Paulus tanangu tertindru wapana wonti.
34But certain men adhering to him, did believe; among whom was also Dionysius, the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
34Kana palpa nunkangu wokarana wonti, ja morlalu ngundrana wonti: Tanangundru Areopagitala Dionysius, ja widla kulno, tala nankani Damaris, ja palpa pudlangunto.
