Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1And at that time there was raised a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all dispersed through the countries of Judea, and Samaria, except the apostles.
1Saululu nari nunkani ngantjana wonti. Tanangupini ditjini tirikaripaterina pirna pantjina wonti Jerusalem mili wolarani, ja pratjana piltjaru wapana wonti Judaia ja Samariaia mitaia pilki ja pilki, kalitakali Apostel ngamanani.
2And devout men took order for Stephen’s funeral, and made great mourning over him.
2Tanali materali, tana Godandru japali, Stephanus todina wonti, ja tana pirna juajuangana wonti nunkangundru.
3But Saul made havock of the church, entering in from house to house, and dragging away men and women, committed them to prison.
3Saululu mili wolara tjautjau ngankana wonti, ja nau pungani paruparu wirina wonti, ja materi ja widla watawatali dunkalkana wonti, ja tanana kanjangari pungani ngulkujeli jinkina wonti.
4They therefore that were dispersed, went about preaching the word of God.
4Tana jeruja piltjaru pantjina, morla worita wapana wonti, ja jaura kaukaubana wonti.
5And Philip going down to the city of Samaria, preached Christ unto them.
5Philippus Samaria mitaia ngura kulnuja ngarina wonti, ja tanangu Christungundru kaukaubana wonti.
6And the people with one accord were attentive to those things which were said by Philip, hearing, and seeing the miracles which he did.
6Kana wolarali kulnukulnuni talpakaldrujeli ngarana wonti nunkangu, mina Philippus jatana wonti, tanali ngaranani ja malka najinani, tanana nulu ngankana wonti.
7For many of them who had unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, went out.
7Ngangau kana marapu kutji murumurunto naka nganana wonti, tanangundru tanana maritjina pirnali dunkana wonti, ja dupudupu ja tjunduru marapu tepi pantjina wonti.
8And many, taken with the palsy, and that were lame, were healed.
8Ja mankina pirna pantjina wonti nunkangupini ngurani.
9There was therefore great joy in that city. Now there was a certain man named Simon, who before had been a magician in that city, seducing the people of Samaria, giving out that he was some great one:
9Materi kulno, tala nunkani Simon, ngopara ngurani ngamana wonti, nau kunki nganana wonti, ja Samaria kana wolara ngaruparibana wonti, ngangau nau jatana wonti: „Ngani pirna nganai.“
10To whom they all gave ear, from the least to the greatest, saying: This man is the power of God, which is called great.
10Nunkangu pratjanali, wakali ja pirnali, pirna ngundrana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Naupini Godaia pirnala nganai, nauja pirna nganai.“
11And they were attentive to him, because, for a long time, he had bewitched them with his magical practices.
11Jendrangundruja tanali nina pirna ngundrana wonti, ngangau nulu tanana miljaru wirdi kunki maninali ngaruparibana wonti.
12But when they had believed Philip preaching of the kingdom of God, in the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
12Tanali Philippungu morlalu ngundranani, nulu Godaia mililandru ja Jesuni Christuni talandru kaukaubanani, tanali materali ja widlali multibanila manina wonti.
13Then Simon himself believed also; and being baptized, he adhered to Philip. And being astonished, wondered to see the signs and exceeding great miracles which were done.
13Bakana Simon muntali morlalu ngundrana wonti, ja multibanila manina wonti, ja Philippungu jela ngamana wonti; ja nulu malka ja ngurula pirna pantjinani najina wonti, nau pirna ngaruparana wonti. (Dakani jaura Jaolaia ditji parkulani.)
14Now when the apostles, who were in Jerusalem, had heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John.
14Apostel worali Jerusalemani matja ngarana, Samarialali Godaia jaura patala wiri, tanali tanangu Petrus ja Johannes jinpana wonti.
15Who, when they were come, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost.
15Pudla ngarina wonti, ja tanangundru ngatjina wonti, tanali Jaola kulikiri maninanto.
16For he was not as yet come upon any of them; but they were only baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
16Ngangau Nauja wata kulnuni tanangundru matja ngarina, a‐ai, tanali windri Kaparaia Christuni tala multibanila manina wonti.
17Then they laid their hands upon them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
17Pudla tanangu mara kuraterina wonti, ja tanali Jaola kulikiri manina wonti.
18And when Simon saw, that by the imposition of the hands of the apostles, the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
18Simonali matja najina, Jaola kulikiri ngarina warai Apostelali mara kuranani, nulu pudlangu mardatandra padakana wonti
19Saying: Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I shall lay my hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. But Peter said to him:
19Ja jatana wonti: „Bakana ngakangu ninapini ngurula jinkialumai, ngangau pratjanali, tanangu ngani mara kuraterinani, Jaola kulikiri maninanto.“
20Keep thy money to thyself, to perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
20Petrus nunkangu jatana wonti: „Jidni ja jinkani mardatandra turuja wirinanto, ngangau jundru ngundrai Godaia poto mardatandrajeli manila.
21Thou hast no part nor lot in this matter. For thy heart is not right in the sight of God.
21Jinkangu wata buru ja wata maratunka parai nunkangupini jaurani, ngangau jidni ngara wata talku nganai Godangu.
22Do penance therefore for this thy wickedness; and pray to God, that perhaps this thought of thy heart may be forgiven thee.
22Nunkangupara jinkani tjikatjikandru karitjiau, ja Godangu ngatjiau, Nulia kara jinkanaia ngaraia ngundrani kalingananto.
23For I see thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bonds of iniquity.
23Ngangau ngato najiai, jidni puratandraia kaldrini ja tjikatjikaia dupudupuni wirina warai.“
24Then Simon answering, said: Pray you for me to the Lord, that none of these things which you have spoken may come upon me.
24Simonali kalabana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Judla ngakangundru Kaparani ngatjialumai, ngangau panila nunkangundru ngakangu wokarananto, mina judla jatana warai.“
25And they indeed having testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel to many countries of the Samaritans.
25Pudla Kaparaia jaura matja tinkari ngankana ja kaukaubana, pudla Jerusalemia tikana wonti, ja pudlali ngantjani jaura kaukaubana wonti Samaritala ngura marapuni.
26Now an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying: Arise, go towards the south, to the way that goeth down from Jerusalem into Gaza: this is desert.
26Kaparaia angelali Philippungu kaukaubana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Terkakamai, ja kunankaria wapau, nunkangupini paltuni, nau Jerusalemingundru Gazaia ngariai, nau wanka nganai,“
27And rising up, he went. And behold a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch, of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge over all her treasures, had come to Jerusalem to adore.
27Ja nau terkakana wonti ja wapana wonti. Ja mai, materi kulno Aethiopiandru, nau eunucha ja Kandace Aethiopia mitaia kaparaia widlaia kana pirna kulno nganana wonti, nina nandru nankani poto pungani kurana wonti, nau Jerusalemingu wokarana wonti ngatjila;
28And he was returning, sitting in this chariot, and reading Isaias the prophet.
28Ja nau tikana kurana wonti, ja wilparani nunkanani ngamana wonti, ja Propheta Jesaias warapana wonti.
29And the Spirit said to Philip: Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.
29Jaola Philippungu jatana wonti: „Wapau, ja nunkangupini wilparani karakara mindrindiau.“
30And Philip running thither, heard him reading the prophet Isaias. And he said: Thinkest thou that thou understandest what thou readest?
30Philippus matja karakara mindrindina wonti, ja nina Prophata Jesaias warapanani ngarana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Jundru bakana ngujamai, mina jundru warapai?“
31Who said: And how can I, unless some man shew me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
31Nau jatana wonti: „Worderu ngato ngujamananto, wata kulnujeli ngakangu ngujangujara jinkinani?“ Ja nau Philippungu ngatjina wonti tarananto nunkangu jela ngamala.
32And the place of the scripture which he was reading was this: He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb without voice before his shearer, so openeth he not his mouth.
32Jaura witta, nina nulu warapanani, naupini nganana wonti: „Tanali ninaia tjipi jeribaka nari nandrala wapalkana wonti; ja Nauja ngapu nganana wonti tjipi kuparu jeribaka nunkani njurdu wokaribanietjani, jeruja Nauja mana wata wilpariai.
33In humility his judgment was taken away. His generation who shall declare, for his life shall be taken from the earth?
33Nunkani wakawakalani kalala nunkani mudana wonti; warle nunkani mardu kaukaubananto? Ngangau nunkani tepi mitandru matja manina.“
34And the eunuch answering Philip, said: I beseech thee, of whom doth the prophet speak this? of himself, or of some other man?
34Eunuchali Philippungu kalabana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Ngani jinkangu ngatjiai, worangundru Propheta jenia jatai? Nunkangundru munta kara, kana ngurundru kara?“
35Then Philip, opening his mouth, and beginning at this scripture, preached unto him Jesus.
35Philippus mana wilparina wonti, ja nunkangupini jaurandru wonina wonti, ja nunkangu ngantjani jaura Jesungundru kaukaubana wonti.
36And as they went on their way, they came to a certain water; and the eunuch said: See, here is water: what doth hinder me from being baptized?
36Pudla paltuwirdi wapana, pudla ngapani wokarana wonti, ja eunucha jatana wonti: „Najiau, ninkida ngapa nganai! Minali ngandrawalkai, ngato multibanila maninanto?“
37And Philip said: If thou believest with all thy heart, thou mayest. And he answering, said: I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
37Philippus jatana wonti: „Jundru ngarali morlalu ngundranani, jenia pantjinanto.“ Nulu kalabana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Ngato morlalu ngundrai Jesus Christus Godaia Ngatamura nganai.“
38And he commanded the chariot to stand still; and they went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch: and he baptized him.
38Ja nulu jirijiribana wonti wilpara banbananto, ja pudla ngapaia ngarina wonti, Philippus ja eunucha, ja nulu nina multibana wonti.
39And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord took away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more. And he went on his way rejoicing.
39Pudla ngapandru matja dunkana tarana, Kaparaia Jaolali Philippus tjirimalkana wonti; ja eunuchali nina wata morla najina wonti; ja nau mankinali nunkani paltuni palkana wonti.
40But Philip was found in Azotus; and passing through, he preached the gospel to all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.
40Tanali Philippus Asdod ngurani mankamankana wonti. Ja nau wirarina wonti, ja nulu ngantjani jaura kaukaubana wonti ngura pratjanani, nau Cäsarea wokaranantulu.
