Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days, he went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.
1Festus mitaia kapakapara ngamala wonina, nau ditji parkulani Cäsareandru Jerusalemia tarana wonti.
2And the chief priests, and principal men of the Jews, went unto him against Paul: and they besought him,
2Priesta pirnali ja Juda kanaia kaparali nunkangu ngulkuterkana wonti Paulungundru, ja nina kurukurubana wonti,
3Requesting favour against him, that he would command him to be brought to Jerusalem, laying wait to kill him in the way.
3Ja nunkangundru murla ngatjina wonti, nulu nina Jerusalemia karkananto, ngangau tanali ngundrana wonti, nina paltuni nari ngankala.
4But Festus answered: That Paul was kept in Caesarea, and that he himself would very shortly depart thither.
4Festulu kalabana wonti: Ngato Paulus Cäsareangu ngamalkala nganai, ja ngani wolja nakanika tikala nganai.
5Let them, therefore, saith he, among you that are able, go down with me, and accuse him, if there be any crime in the man.
5„Jendrania“, nau jatana wonti, „kana pirna jurangundru ngakangunto jela ngarinanto, ja madlentji kulno nunkangupini kanani ngananani, tana nunkangu ngulkuterkananto.“
6And having tarried among them no more than eight or ten days, he went down to Caesarea, and the next day he sat in the judgment seat; and commanded Paul to be brought.
6Nau tanangu jela ditji palpa morla ditji marapratjani matja ngamana, nau Cäsareaja ngarina wonti, ja ditji kulnuni nau kalala pirini ngamana ngarina wonti, ja jirijiribana wonti Paulus wokaralkananto.
7Who being brought, the Jews stood about him, who were come down from Jerusalem, objecting many and grievous causes, which they could not prove;
7Nau matja wokarana, Juda kana, tana Jerusalemingundru matja ngarina, nina kapikapina terkana karitjina wonti, ja ngulku marapu ja pirna Paulungu wokaralkana wonti, ja tanali ngandandarina wonti jenia morlalu kurala,
8Paul making answer for himself: Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I offended in any thing.
8Nau jurajuralkijiribaterinani: „Ngato wata Juda kanaia jirijiribani jaurani, ja wata Godaia pungani, ja wata mitaia kaparani madlentji ngankana warai.“
9But Festus, willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, answering Paul, said: Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?
9Festulu ngantjana wonti Juda kanandru jurakokani manila, ja Paulungu kalabana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Jundru ngantjai Jerusalemia tarala, ja ngato jinkangu naka nunkangundru kalala jinkinanto?“
10Then Paul said: I stand at Caesar’s judgment seat, where I ought to be judged. To the Jews I have done no injury, as thou very well knowest.
10Paululu kalabana wonti: „Ngani mitaia kaparaia kalala pirini terkala wapaia, ja ninkida ngato kalala maninanto; Juda kanani ngato wata madlentji ngankana warai, worderu bakana jundru morlalu ngujamai.
11For if I have injured them, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die. But if there be none of these things whereof they accuse me, no man may deliver me to them: I appeal to Caesar.
11Ngani talku panini ngananani, ja madlentji ngankana warai naria, ngani wata delkiai nari manila, jenia baku ngananani, minandru tanali ngakangu ngulkuterkai, kanali ngandandariai ngana tanangu wondawondala. Ngani mitaia kaparani karkai.“
12Then Festus having conferred with the council, answered: Hast thou appealed to Caesar? To Caesar shalt thou go.
12Jendranguta Festus kana kaparani ngankamalina wonti ja kalabana wonti: „Mitaia kaparani jundru karkala wapaia, mitaia kaparani jidni palkananto.“
13And after some days, king Agrippa and Bernice came down to Caesarea to salute Festus.
13Ditji palpa matja mudana, mitaia kapara Agrippas ja Bernice Cäsareangu wokarana wonti Festungu mandurila.
14And as they tarried there many days, Festus told the king of Paul, saying: A certain man was left prisoner by Felix.
14Pudla ditji marapu naka matja ngamana, Festulu mitaia kaparani Pauluni poto kaukaubana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Felix materi kulno worarana paraia kanjangarila.
15About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests, and the ancients of the Jews, came unto me, desiring condemnation against him.
15Nunkangundru Priesta pirnali ja Juda kanaia pinarali, ngani Jerusalemingu matja wokarana, ngulkuterkana paraia, ja nunkangundru kalala ngatjina paraia,
16To whom I answered: It is not the custom of the Romans to condemn any man, before that he who is accused have his accusers present, and have liberty to make his answer, to clear himself of the things laid to his charge.
16Tanangu ngato kalabana paraia, Romalaia mangini wata jenia nganai, kana kulno naria jinkila, wata nulu, nina tanali ngulkuterkai, nunkani ngulkuterkanietja mudlani ngamalkanani, ja nau munta talku ngankaterinanto.
17When therefore they were come hither, without any delay, on the day following, sitting in the judgment seat, I commanded the man to be brought.
17Tana ninkida matja wokarana, ngato wata kalkana paraia, a‐ai, ditji kulnuni ngani kalala pirini ngamana ngarina paraia ja jirijiribana paraia, nina materi wokaralkala.
18Against whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought no accusation of things which I thought ill of:
18Ngulkuetja matja terkakana, tanali wata jeruja nunkangundru ngulkuterkana paraia, worderu ngato ngundrana paraia,
19But had certain questions of their own superstition against him, and of one Jesus deceased, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
19A‐ai tanali nunkangu tirijakalkani jaura palpa ngamalkana paraia, tanani Godani wodatarana ngamanandru, ja Jesu kulnundru, Nauja matja palina, nunkangundru Paululu morlalu kurana paraia, Nauja tepi nganai.
20I therefore being in a doubt of this manner of question, asked him whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things.
20Ngangau ngani nunkangupini wontjanandru ko nganana paraia, ngani jatana paraia, nulu ngantjai kara Jerusalemia tarala ja naka jendrangundruja kalala manila.
21But Paul appealing to be reserved unto the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept, till I might send him to Caesar.
21Ngangau Paulus nunkangu parana paraia, nina Augustus ngamalkananto, ngato jirijiribana paraia nina ngamalkala, ngato nina mitaia kaparani jinpalalu.“
22And Agrippa said to Festus: I would also hear the man, myself. Tomorrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.
22Agrippas Festungu jatana wonti: „Ngani bakana wolkareli nganai ninapini kana ngarala.“ Nau jatana wonti: „Tankubana jundru nina ngarananto.“
23And on the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice were come with great pomp, and had entered into the hall of audience, with the tribunes, and principal men of the city, at Festus’ commandment, Paul was brought forth.
23Ditji kulnuni Agrippas ja Bernice tjirkatjirkaraterini ngumu marapujeli wokaranani, ja jakalkijiribamalini pirini wirinani juljaia kaparanto, ja nguraia kana pirnanto, ja Festulu jirijiribanani, tanali Paulus wokaralkana wonti.
24And Festus saith: King Agrippa, and all ye men who are here present with us, you see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews dealt with me at Jerusalem, requesting and crying out that he ought not to live any longer.
24Ja Festus jatana wonti: „Mitaia kapara Agrippajai, ja materi pratjanajai, jura ninkida ngamai, jura ninkida ninapini najila wapaia, nunkangundru Juda kana wolarali Jerusalemingu, ja bakana ninkida ngana jupana paraia, ja miritja ngankana paraia, nauja wata tepi ngamananto.
25Yet have I found nothing that he hath committed worthy of death. But forasmuch as he himself hath appealed to Augustus, I have determined to send him.
25Ngato mankamankana paraia, nulia panila ngankana paraia, jendrangundruja nulia kalala nari maninanto, ja ngangau nulia muntali Augustus karkana paraia, ngato ngundrana paraia, ninaia jinpala.
26Of whom I have nothing certain to write to my lord. For which cause I have brought him forth before you, and especially before thee, O king Agrippa, that examination being made, I may have what to write.
26Ngato panila morlalu milkila nunkangundru kaparani dakala; jendrania ngato ninaia jurangu ja pilki jinkangu mitaia kapara Agrippajai, wokaralkana warai, ngangau ngato, ninaia matja jinpanani, palpa ngamalkananto dakala.
27For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner, and not to signify the things laid to his charge.
27Ngangau jenia ngakangu tjuru pani jeri nganai, kanjangarila ngulku panini jinpala.“
