Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1And after five days the high priest Ananias came down, with some of the ancients, and one Tertullus an orator, who went to the governor against Paul.
1Ditji mara worani Priesta pirna Ananias pinarani jela ja jurajuralkijiribanietja Tertullus ngarina wonti, tanali Paulungundru mitaia kapakaparani ngulkuterkananto.
2And Paul being called for, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying: Whereas through thee we live in much peace, and many things are rectified by thy providence,
2Tanali nina matja karkana, Tertullulu ngulkuterkani jaura wonina wonti ja jatana wonti:
3We accept it always and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thanksgiving.
3„Ngaiani jinkangundru murla pirna ngamalkai, ja tananapini kana wolara jinkani manujeli ngundranali ngamalkijiribani ngumu maniai, ja ngaiani jenia milingeru pirna jurakokanali ngundrai, Felix ngumu pirnajai!
4But that I be no further tedious to thee, I desire thee of thy clemency to hear us in few words.
4Ngangau ngato jidna wata pirna jupananto, ngani jinkangu ngatjiai, jundru ngaianina ngalje ngarananto jinkani maltindru.
5We have found this to be a pestilent man, and raising seditions among all the Jews throughout the world, and author of the sedition of the sect of the Nazarenes.
5Ngaiani ninapini kana pirindi mankamankana paraia, ja patijiritjibanietjaia mudlakutja, Juda kana pratjanani mita maruni ja Nazarenalaia ngujaja kapara,
6Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom, we having apprehended, would also have judged according to our law.
6Nulia bakana wontjala wiri Godaia punga murumuru ngankala; ninaia ngaiani patala wiri, ja ngantjala wiri, nunkangu ngaiananani jirijiribani jaurandru kalala jinkila.
7But Lysias the tribune coming upon us, with great violence took him away out of our hands;
7Lysias juljaia kaparali terti wokarala wiri, ja ninaia ngurula pirnali ngaianingu marandru dunkalkala wiri.
8Commanding his accusers to come to thee: of whom thou mayest thyself, by examination, have knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him.
8Ja nulu nunkani ngulkuterkanietjani jirijiribala wiri, jinkangu wokaraterinanto; nunkangundru jundru muntali pratjana ngarala nganai, jundru nina wontjanani, minandru ngaiani nunkangu ngulkuterkala wapaia.“
9And the Jews also added, and said that these things were so.
9Juda kanali bakana jenia kaukaubana wonti, ja jatana wonti, jenia morlalu nganai.
10Then Paul answered, (the governor making a sign to him to speak:) Knowing that for many years thou hast been judge over this nation, I will with good courage answer for myself.
10Paululu kalabana wonti, mitaia kapakaparali nunkangu marali matja malka jinkina nulu kaukaubananto: „Ngangau ngani milkila, jidni tanangupini kana wolarani kilpawoldra marapu kalala kuranietja nganai, ngani murlali ngakangundru jurajuralkateriai.
11For thou mayest understand, that there are yet but twelve days, since I went up to adore in Jerusalem:
11Jundru jenia jakalkananto, wata morla wirdi ditji marapratjana ja mandruni nganai, ngani Jerusalemia tarana paraia ngatjila.
12And neither in the temple did they find me disputing with any man, or causing any concourse of the people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city:
12Bakana tanalia ngana wata mankamankala wiri Godaia pungani kulnuni ngankamalinani kara, kana wolara patijiritjibanani kara, bakana wata jaura punga worani, bakana wata ngurani;
13Neither can they prove unto thee the things whereof they now accuse me.
13Tanaia bakana ngandandariai ngakangu morlalu kurala, minandru tanalia ngakangu karari ngulkuterkala wapaia.
14But this I confess to thee, that according to the way, which they call a heresy, so do I serve the Father and my God, believing all things which are written in the law and the prophets:
14Jenia ngato jinkangu morlalu dikai, ngani nunkangupini paltuni, nina tanalia dikai nguja pilki, ngani ngaperaia ngaiananaia Godani mili ngamai; ngangau ngato pratjana morlalu ngundrai, mina jirijiribani jaurani ja Propheta worani dakanala parai;
15Having hope in God, which these also themselves look for, that there shall be a resurrection of the just and unjust.
15Ja ngato wolkarali kalkani ngamalkai Godani, ninaia bakana tanalia muntali ngamalkai, narindru jiritjini wokarala nganai, wata windri kana talkuni, a‐ai, bakana tjikatjikani.
16And herein do I endeavour to have always a conscience without offence toward God, and towards men.
16Jendrania ngato muntali jiglerali ngankai ngara ngaiala ngumu ngamalkala Godani ja kanani milingeru.
17Now after many years, I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings, and vows.
17Kilpawoldra marapu matja mudana, ngani wokarana paraia kalumiltjamiltjarini poto ngakani kana wolarani jinkila, ja bakana poto ngumu.
18In which I was found purified in the temple: neither with multitude, nor with tumult.
18Jendranguta (Priestali) ngana Godaia pungani kilikiri ngankana parai, wata kana wolarani jela, ja bakana wata maritjinali, Juda kana palpali Asiandru ngana mankamankana paraia,
19But certain Jews of Asia, who ought to be present before thee, and to accuse, if they had any thing against me:
19Tana jinkangu wokarananto ja ngakangu ngulkuterkananto, tanali ngakangu minakulno ngamalkanani.
20Or let these men themselves say, if they found in me any iniquity, when standing before the council,
20Tanali ninkida muntali kaukaubananto, mina madlentji tanali ngakangu mankamankala wiri, ngani kana kaparani terkanani,
21Except it be for this one voice only that I cried, standing among them, Concerning the resurrection of the dead am I judged this day by you.
21Kalitakali nunkangupini jaura kulnundru kara, nina ngani maritjila wiri, ngani tanangu terti terkanani: «Nari jiritjinandru ngani karari jurangundru kalalaia terkai.»“
22And Felix put them off, having most certain knowledge of this way, saying: When Lysias the tribune shall come down, I will hear you.
22Felixali jenia ngarana, nulu tanani poto karari worani patana wonti, ngangau nulu morla talku ngujamana wonti nunkangupini paltundru, ja nau jatana wonti: „Lysias juljaia kapara ngarinani, ngato jurani poto ngujamala nganai.“
23And he commanded a centurion to keep him, and that he should be easy, and that he should not prohibit any of his friends to minister unto him.
23Ja nulu juljaia kaparani jirijiribana wonti, nulu Paulus ngamalkananto, nau manju ngamananto, ja wata nunkani kamaneli kulnujeli daudauananto nunkani mili nganala kara nunkangu wokarala kara.
24And after some days, Felix, coming with Drusilla his wife, who was a Jew, sent for Paul, and heard of him the faith, that is in Christ Jesus.
24Ditji palpani ngadani Felix wokarana wonti, Drusilla noani nunkanani jela, nani Juda widla nganana wonti, ja nulu Paulus karkana wonti, ja nina Christungu morlalu ngundranandru ngarana wonti.
25And as he treated of justice, and chastity, and of the judgment to come, Felix being terrified, answered: For this time, go thy way: but when I have a convenient time, I will send for thee.
25Ja nulu talkulandru, ja ninta pirna ngamanandru, ja kalalandru, nau wokarala nganai, nunkangu kaukaubanani, Felix japali pantjina wonti ja kalabana wonti: „Karari wapau; ngato miljaru manju mankamankanani, ngato jidna nakaldra karkala nganai.“
26Hoping also withal, that money should be given him by Paul; for which cause also oftentimes sending for him, he spoke with him.
26Nulu bakana kalkana wonti, Paululu nunkangu mardatandra jinkinanto, nulu nina kurakananto; jendrangundruja nulu nina bakana pota palpa karkana wonti, ja nunkangu ngankamalina wonti.
27But when two years were ended, Felix had for successor Portius Festus. And Felix being willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound.
27Kilpawoldra mandruni Portius Festus Felixangu karipaterina wonti; ja ngangau Felix ngantjana wonti Juda kanandru jurakokani manila, nulu Paulus kanjangari pungani worani patana wonti.
